Chapter 172: Sudden change!

The effect was immediate—the new Crystallisation of Life that he had felt a moment ago suddenly disappeared, and a new prompt popped up in front of him.

[Crystallisations of Life needed for Breakthrough: 6/500]

Now he just needed 494 more Crystallisations of Life, and he would breakthrough to the next realm.

Seeing David staring at the air with a dazed expression on his face, Solorius Brighthaven was confused for a moment, but he still answered with a shaking voice—after all, the power displayed by David had overwhelmed his senses.

"S-Solorius Brighthaven! Thank you for saving us, senior." Solorius shuddered as he answered the question, his face covered in sweat, putting on a pathetic appearance.

David looked at the young man and didn't know what to say; he could never imagine someone like him could have an SSS-grade investment rating.

If it were normal times, Hany would have already slapped Solorius a couple of times, but right now he himself was in a miserable condition—he couldn't afford to care about his disciple's mannerisms.

David casually nodded after hearing his introduction and said while looking at the duo, "What are you even doing in such a dangerous place?"

This was a genuine question: why would someone appear here in the first place? If the disciple and teacher duo were to hear his thoughts, they would surely give him a sidelong glance—why didn't he ask himself this question?

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought; after all, no one in their right mind would dare to question the fierce young man.

Hearing David's questions, both Solorius and Hany, whose complexion had recovered a little, looked greatly embarrassed.

"Oh! That... master just forgot—" Before Solorius could finish his words, Hany suddenly moved like a ghost and placed his hand on top of his disciple's mouth, stopping him from speaking his mind.

"Master, what are you doing?" Solorius asked in confusion, not understanding what his master was doing.

"Shut up." Hany's face seemed to have turned a shade redder as he said those words. He couldn't allow Solorius to continue and tell how he had lost the way.

That would be too shameful—for a Nascent Soul expert to lose his way. If such words were to spread, he would become a laughingstock in the Nascent Soul circle.

David looked at the interaction between master and disciple with interest; both of them seemed to care about each other.

Seeing David's behavior, Hany was relieved in his heart—it appeared the black-haired youth didn't want to hurt them.

If he had any ulterior motives, Hany could only sacrifice himself to give his foolish disciple a chance to escape. After all, he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and couldn't compare to someone like David. Although he didn't know what realm David was in, he had to be at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm to crush the gigantic monster with such ease.

And why not at the Void Refining Realm? Such cultivators were almost mythical existences to Hany; he might never have seen one in his lifetime.

Time passed, and the duo's tensed nerves relaxed. They were able to freely talk with David after some time, but even then, the cultivators' words that came out of their mouths were a little stiff.

After talking with them for some time, David understood their situation a little.

'Don't tell me they lost their way,' he thought with an amused expression on his face.

But on second thought, he found it understandable. The distance between cities in Green Heaven World was huge; it couldn't be said to be even insurmountable. Some weak cultivators would spend their entire lives living within the vicinity of one city.

And you may ask why this was the case—the answer was simple. It was all because of the Green Heaven Web. The web had made life in the world too convenient, and because of its one particular function which allowed one to exchange items, the channels of communication weren't properly developed.

Suddenly, David's eyes flashed with a shining light; he smelled an opportunity to make a huge amount of money.

While David was thinking, the three of them unknowingly arrived near the Nightblade city and stopped in mid-air.

The teacher and disciple bowed once again and thanked David for saving their lives.

And just as they were about to part ways—

"Wait!" David suddenly spoke.

Hearing the sudden shout, Hany's heart almost jumped out of his chest in fear.

Solorius looked at this scene and wanted to facepalm, but he somehow managed to resist the urge.

'Master, have some dignity; you are a mighty Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.'

David looked at their reaction, but he didn't care. Next, he flexed his wrist, and the same black sword which he had used to cleave the monster in half appeared in his hand.

Seeing the appearance of the sword, Hany was even more frightened.

David found his appearance to be highly interesting, but he wasn't in a mood to play around.

Suddenly, he threw the sword in the duo's direction and said in a gentle tone, "It must be fate that we met here today. Accept this little gift from me."

Hany was ready to burst out his strongest fighting power, but after he heard David's words, he stopped and caught the sword with a forced smile on his face.

"Stupid disciple, quickly thank the senior for his magnanimity," Hany said after grabbing the sword.

Solorius was awakened after hearing his master's shout and quickly bowed.

"Thank you, senior." His voice was filled with sincerity, although he didn't understand what he had done to deserve such a gift.

David didn't wait for their reactions and hurriedly moved inside the city.

Once he was near the entrance, he got down as no one was allowed to fly in the city airspace.

Time continued to flow like water, and soon a week had passed in the blink of an eye.

In front of a large castle made of white marble which seemed to have been crafted by the god of crafts himself stood a crowd.

This castle was no ordinary castle—it was the residence of a popular three-star Alchemist Theodore.

According to rumors, this entire castle was made from a single piece of Nine-Nether stone, found in the extreme north of Green Heaven World.

On this day, in front of this majestic castle stood a long line of individuals dressed in various different types of clothes, showcasing the myriad cultures of Green Heaven World.

In this line, it wasn't difficult to find Nascent Soul realm cultivators standing patiently, waiting for their turn to enter inside.

Cultivators from all over the world were attracted by the reward offered by Alchemist Theodore. Moreover, some days ago, the Alchemist had even announced he would betroth his daughter to a man who could give him the Nine-Sun branch.

"Darling, why are we here?" Mary asked in a suspicious voice while glancing at the crowd around her.

Mary, dressed in a white skirt, looked like a fairy descending on earth. Each of her actions was filled with a strange sense of attraction that made it difficult to directly look in her eyes.

In her hands was Borrito, who was also unusually quiet.

David didn't answer her question but looked at her while raising his eyebrows, internally wondering why she was even asking such a question in the first place.

Wasn't the answer already in plain sight?

Seeing how he ignored her question, Mary pursed her lips.

David ignored her and focused on his status report; he was surprised by a sudden change.

His comprehension of the Greater Law of Annihilation had suddenly jumped without any rhyme or reason, leaving David confused—he had no idea what had happened.

He wasn't even sure what to feel about such change.

Should he be happy because of the unexpected progress or worry why this happened?

While David was busy with his thoughts, suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance.

He also turned his head to look at the front.

The gate of the castle had opened, and a fierce man with a long scar running horizontally across his head had appeared there without anyone realizing.

"Next, 100 people please follow me," his hoarse voice resounded throughout the surroundings.
