"When did you get a master?"

Sessho, who had his neck grabbed, was not angry; instead, he was surprised.

He knew very well that the Pharaoh despised bowing to others more than anything. How could he recognize someone else as his master?

Back in the day, the Pharaoh even plotted with them on how to kill the original leader of Pharaoh Country and claim kingship for himself.

How come now he has acknowledged someone else as his master? Who could make him do that?

That person must be incredibly powerful.

"No need to ask more, hand over the Life Gem, and I might spare you for old times' sake," the Pharaoh said coldly, with an extremely indifferent tone.

Everyone else was bewildered. How did the King, who was all smiles just moments ago, suddenly turn hostile?

Moreover, they were very curious about the master mentioned by the Pharaoh, having never heard that the King had a master.

Who on earth is that master?!

"Haha, Lop Nur, have you lost your mind in sleep, submitting to others, forgetting old friendships, and wanting me to hand over the gem? Come and take it yourself." Sessho sneered.

Since the Pharaoh treated him like this, he no longer needed to reminisce about past friendships!

Boom!

The next second, a terrifying and immense Life Energy burst out from Sessho's body, shaking all directions.

Everyone was blown back, even the Pharaoh was sent flying, crashing hard against the wall.

"Why is your Life Energy so potent?" the Pharaoh cried out in panic.

He could sense that Sessho's Life Energy was even stronger than his own. What was going on?

"The Life Gem was eaten by me long ago. Now, I am one with it!" Sessho said with a cold smile, his heart pounding in his chest, seemingly ready to manifest.

A red heart continuously pounded against his chest, over and over.

Seeing the heart that seemed about to burst out, the Pharaoh widened his eyes in fear.

He never expected Sessho to have swallowed the Life Gem, merging it with his heart, thus mastering the gem's energy.

This made his Life Energy extraordinarily immense, dozens of times stronger than his own.

Why hadn't he thought of this method at the time?

"If I'm not mistaken, your gem must have been taken, foolish Lop Nur," Sessho suddenly spread his hands, a burst of red energy erupting out, instantly pulling the Pharaoh over.

The Pharaoh's neck was gripped, and his breathing became immediately difficult.

Sessho leaped up with the Pharaoh and jumped out of the pit.

"Too bad you messed with the wrong person," Sessho sneered, preparing to absorb the Life Energy from the Pharaoh's body to restore his strength.

Boom!

An unexpected change occurred, and Sessho was suddenly sent flying, rolling dozens of rounds before stopping.

When he painfully lifted his head to look at the Pharaoh, fear was written all over his face.

He saw a shadow appear above the Pharaoh's head, a faceless figure, but he could clearly feel that the other person was incredibly strong, like an abyss, unfathomable!

"Who are you!" Sessho shouted in terror.

And when the Pharaoh saw the shadow above his head, he immediately kneeled on both knees, pressing his forehead to the ground: "Master!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone at the scene was shocked, Sessho was even more dumbfounded.

Master?!

Was this the Pharaoh's master?!

The mummies saw their master kneel, and they all kneeled too, making strange noises, seemingly also saying "Master."

The people of Pharaoh Country saw this and hurriedly knelt down.

Since their King had kneeled, how could they dare not to?

But they didn't know how to address him, so they chose to remain silent.

Chen Lan's phantom didn't pay attention to the Pharaoh and others but looked towards Sessho, extending a hand.

In an instant, Sessho was quickly pulled to Chen Lan's hand, just like how the Pharaoh was previously, with his neck gripped, struggling to breathe.

"Who are you, I am willing to bow and submit, if the Pharaoh can be your servant, so can I!" Sessho quickly yielded.

Facing such a terrifying entity, he had no desire to fight. Submission for survival was the most important.

Chen Lan's soul avatar didn't speak but tightened its grip on Sessho's throat.

"Ahhhhh!" Sessho suddenly raised his head and screamed as strands of red energy flowed from his body into Chen Lan's.

His skin quickly shriveled, his hair turned white, changing from a middle-aged man into a centenarian within moments, until all flesh was gone, leaving only a shell.

Listening to Sessho's miserable screams, no one dared to look up, as they had realized that the Pharaoh's master was an extremely terrifying being.

Thud.

The sound of a body hitting the ground echoed, and the scene instantly fell silent, with only the sound of the wind and everyone's tense and rapid breathing audible.

It wasn't until the Pharaoh raised his head and saw the disappearance of Chen Lan's phantom that he slowly stood up.

"Rise, it's over," the Pharaoh said with a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the master was present; otherwise, it would be over.

But soon, the Pharaoh became overjoyed. He sensed that the Life Energy within him had increased significantly.

Surely, this was a reward from the master!

Immediately, he knelt again to express gratitude to the master.

The others saw the Pharaoh kneel, having just stood up, they knelt down again.

After a while, the Pharaoh stood up and looked to the right:

"Continue onward!"

There are two more people, and he must quickly help the master gather all the Life Gems.

...

Giant Race territory.

"Not bad, even though it's a bit less, it's enough to further my life's grand path," Chen Lan nodded with satisfaction.

Now, the Life Grand Path should reach the introductory stage.

And the Illusion Grand Path, he hadn't absorbed the Dao Rhyme from the gem obtained last time.

After finishing these Ancient Texts, he could start understanding the Dao on the spot, striving to make advancements in both grand paths.

Currently, he had mastered seven grand paths, of which the power and soul paths had reached the introductory stage, while the transformation path was still a step away, unable to reach the level he sought.

He felt that the Heaven and Earth Laws of this world were still far from complete. Without finding Dao Rhyme Items, achieving comprehension or advancement was nearly impossible.

Chen Lan sighed, continuing to browse the Ancient Texts in his hand.

He believed he was getting closer to his goal, spending the entire day perusing Ancient Texts, having seen hundreds of magical and powerful Talismans.

However, he found learning challenging, like a student starting from scratch, with no insight into the Talisman path, only crudely imitating with Spiritual Qi in the air.

He had seen a comprehensive guide to basic Talismans, which suggested using a Magical Treasure similar to a brush to enhance a Talisman's effect, or inks made from Essence Blood, Spirit Medicine, Spiritual Insects, and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for optimal Talisman performance.

Void Talisman drawing, while simple and convenient, could not achieve maximum effectiveness, suitable only for emergency use.

Unfortunately, he had yet to find an introduction to the Blue Star Talisman.

There's only one possibility, that the Talisman is too mysterious and powerful to be documented here.

Chen Lan closed the Talisman Ancient Texts in his hand with a slight frown.

"Forget it, understanding the Dao to enhance my strength is most important first."

Thinking this, Chen Lan casually erected a Barrier, then sat cross-legged, floating in the air, beginning to comprehend the Life Grand Path, refining the Life Dao Rhyme within.
