"So, how exactly does Faelan plan to use the Energizing Herb to test things out?""It's pretty simple, really. The Grim Expanse is teeming with undead and a deathly aura, so I can easily disguise myself as one of the undead. Then, I'll offer to help any practitioner passing by, mentioning the herb's effects, and watch how their expressions change. Just like that..."
"Ha! Classic Faelan, your plan is flawless!"
"Faelan, you rock! But, about that herb... can you hook me up with one?"
"Brother Faelan, my wife's been nagging me a lot lately, so I, uh..."
"Just to be clear, I'm a decent guy, just looking to study this miraculous herb..." Even Abbot Fenvin shamelessly stepped forward to beg.
Faelan hesitated, a bit pained: "This herb is incredibly rare, so I can only spare one per person..."
"One is enough!"
"Deal! Long live Brother Faelan!"
"Faelan, you've got a friend for life in me!"
...
The ancient legacy of a sacred site had reached a point where countless practitioners would go mad for it. Each sacred site has a long history, typically established by several Holy Emperors working together. For outsiders, acquiring such mystical and treasured legacies is incredibly difficult.
Thus, this time, the Undead Sanctuary opening the Grim Expanse to the Sky Sanctuary is an opportunity not to be missed. If one could have a serendipitous encounter there, even just a sliver of grace from a Holy Emperor's legacy could be immensely beneficial.
There were no restrictions on who could go, so the group included not only the most qualified disciples of the Sky Sanctuary but also several High Priests and disciples from the Star Palace, even Zephyra herself.
The twelve Star Palaces, scattered across the world, serve as the "shield" guarding the Sky Sanctuary. The top disciples from the Star Palaces are often just as powerful as the chosen prodigies of the Sky Sanctuary.
Especially notable were the five young women accompanying Zephyra from the Inferno Forge Palace.
"Wow, are those the Radiant Five Sisters?"
"Wow, they really live up to their name, each one prettier than the last!"
Many disciples from the Sky Sanctuary whispered in awe, their gazes uncontrollably drawn to them.
The Five Sisters were not only beautiful but also had gentle personalities, often seen with serene smiles on their faces.
"Radiant Five Sisters?"
Curious, Timothy asked Felix beside him, "Hey, what are the sisters' names?"
"Don't worry, Brother Timothy, I've got this."
Felix confidently patted his chest and replied, "The eldest is Goldiluna, the second is Silverelle, the third is Bronzella, and the fourth is Ironetta!"
"I should've guessed..."
Timothy had anticipated this quirky naming convention.
"Wait, what about the last one? You didn't mention her."
"Ah, the last one."
Felix paused for a moment, then awkwardly smiled, "I think the youngest sister is the prettiest, but her name isn't as nice as her sisters'."
"What's her name?" S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Titaniuma."
"Good grief..."
Just then, the Five Sisters noticed Timothy and immediately made their way through the crowd to surround him.
"Brother Timothy! It really is you!"
"I've admired Brother Timothy's reputation for so long, I never thought I'd actually get to see you in person. Today is my lucky day!"
The Five Sisters were clearly thrilled.
"Brother Timothy, Goldiluna has admired you for a long time."
"Brother Timothy, Silverelle feels the same."
"Brother Timothy~ Bronzella too."
"Brother, Goldiluna and the other sisters all feel the same."
The sisters, similar in looks yet each with her own charm, clustered around Timothy, their voices melodious and continuous.
As they playfully argued, they unintentionally pressed close to Timothy, giving him a sense of their softness.
"Damn it, always Brother Timothy! Why is it always him?"
"And five at once, no less! At least leave Titaniuma for me, Brother Timothy, hogging them all is just too much!" The male disciples nearby watched the scene, almost in tears.
The Five Sisters continued to express their affection around Timothy, showering him with admiring words.
Especially the most charming eldest sister, Goldiluna, who even struck a seductive pose, leaning tenderly towards Timothy.
Her long eyelashes fluttered as she cooed softly, "With someone as outstanding as Brother Timothy, you must have seen many beautiful women. But you've never experienced sisters like us, have you?"
"Taste?
Whoa, that's a bit risky to say, are you sure you want to continue?"
Ignoring Timothy's caution, the sisters drew even closer, becoming bolder in their actions.
But just then, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
This chill was so icy and terrifying that in an instant, they felt as if they were plunging into an ice cave, about to be swallowed by endless frost.
The sisters jumped in fright and quickly stepped back.
Looking behind them in shock, they realized that the chilling gaze they had felt was from Goddess Sylvia.
"Why did you bring such a group of disciples?" Sylvia asked Zephyra, her smile not quite reaching her eyes as she gripped her shoulder.
"You asked me to find some quality disciples, so..." Zephyra stepped back, feeling wronged.
She always felt that the goddess had changed lately.
These beautiful female disciples were having a great time with Timothy, so why did the goddess seem a bit sour?
"Never mind." Sylvia gritted her teeth.
These five disciples, each and every one of them, must be thoroughly investigated upon their return, just in case something happened...
"Hmph!"
"The opening of the Grim Expanse is a rare opportunity for you all. Although the sanctuary is filled with dangers, don't be afraid while ensuring your safety. Only by being proactive can you have the chance to reap great rewards. Set off now, and do your best to seize the opportunity in the Grim Expanse." With Sylvia's cool voice, everyone responded with renewed vigor.
The Arcane Airship lifted off, with most disciples aboard heading towards the Undead Sanctuary.
"Ha! Only the lower-class poor ride these broken Arcane Airships. Look at how majestic my mount is!" Felix laughed wildly, riding a Pegasus through the sky.
Just then, a brilliant streak of blue light flashed by.
The Radiant Five Sisters, riding a Hippogriff, flew past with grandeur.
Instantly, Felix's bravado was completely overshadowed.
"Whatever, it's just a Hippogriff. I could afford one too..."
Felix had barely finished speaking when a dragon's roar echoed, and a flash of golden light appeared. Suddenly, Timothy rose on a dragon!
Felix: "..."
