“Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign?”
Hearing the name Gilberto mentioned, everyone present from Falling Blossom Palace was stunned, their faces showing expressions of shock.
Even Mike, who stood behind Leo, had a look of astonishment.
Only Leo was clueless.
Although Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign roamed the Southern Marches long before anyone present was born, his legend was kept alive to this day.
Gilberto expected their reactions and continued, “It is said that Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign reached the third stage of the Spirit God realm. He was not only skilled in alchemy but also in cultivating various Spirit Herbs and raising mystical beasts.”
“Four hundred years ago, Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign was famous. He dedicated his life to the study of alchemy, achieving remarkable expertise.”
“However, few know where he lived. No one would have guessed he chose to live in seclusion on a small island in Star Moon Lake.”
“Two hundred years ago, Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign suddenly vanished. Some say he ascended to immortality, others believe he was slain by a stronger Cultivator, and some think he traveled to another dimension…”
“Regardless of what happened two hundred years ago, he indeed disappeared from Awakened Continent. Today, the place he lived has emerged from the protection of its formation, presenting an unparalleled opportunity for us Cultivators.”
“It’s easy to imagine that Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s residence must contain many rare materials and even spiritual pills.”
As Gilberto spoke, his eyes shone with undisguised excitement.
After hearing Gilberto’s introduction, Leo became very interested in Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign, especially in his third-stage Spirit God cultivation and the title of Pill Sovereign.
First, let’s explain what the third stage of Spirit God is.
After reaching Spirit Saint, one enters the Spirit God realm. The Spirit God realm is divided into nine stages, from one to nine.
Claudia, the elder from Frostwhisper Clan who took Sophia away, was at the second stage of Spirit God. At that time, Leo was no different from an ant in front of her.
It is said that breaking through the ninth stage of Spirit God allows one to ascend to immortality.
Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s third-stage Spirit God cultivation made him nearly invincible across Martial Dynasty and even Awakened Continent.
Next, let’s talk about the title “Pill Sovereign.”
Alchemists are ranked from one to nine.
Those who can refine first-grade pills are called first-grade alchemists; those who can refine second-grade pills are called second-grade alchemists, and so on.
From the seventh grade onwards, seventh-grade alchemists are commonly known as Pill Sovereigns, eighth-grade as Pill Saints, and ninth-grade as Pill Gods.
It is said that ninth-grade alchemists can refine a miraculous pill called “Tribulation Breaking Pill,” which can withstand a level of Heavenly Thunder during tribulation, making it incredibly powerful.
Ancient Tyrant was a seventh-grade alchemist, hence Cultivators called him Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign.
Finally, spiritual cultivation levels and alchemy levels do not correspond directly. For example, a Spirit Saint who knows nothing about alchemy might not even be able to refine a second-grade pill.
Leo could refine Ascension Pills, a fourth-grade pill, relying solely on the spiritual cultivation inheritance in his mind.
Back to the topic, after hearing Gilberto’s words, Gracie and others were clearly tempted.
Indeed, if they could gain opportunities from the residence of a third-stage Spirit God and Pill Sovereign, it would be invaluable for any sect.
“Thank you for informing us, Mr. Benson,” Seraphina nodded slightly, her voice ethereal.
“It’s nothing,” Gilberto waved his hand with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze on his handsome face. “Ms. Wright, Seraphina, since Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s abode has appeared in Star Moon Lake, I estimate that top forces from Martial Dynasty and other dynasties will send their experts.”
Gracie and Willow nodded in agreement.
Star Moon Lake might sound like just a lake by its name, but it was vast.
On Earth, Star Moon Lake could easily be renamed Star Moon Sea.
Several dynasties surrounded Star Moon Lake.
The most representative ones were Martial Dynasty, Giant Wolf Dynasty, Crescent Dynasty, and Godsbane Dynasty.
Star Moon Lake did not belong to any dynasty. Therefore, once other dynasties learned about Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s abode appearing, they would undoubtedly send experts.
Gilberto looked at Seraphina again with fervent eyes. “Seraphina, although the protective formation on that nameless island in Star Moon Lake has become unstable, its energy is still strong. It will likely weaken completely in half a month, making it the best time to enter.”
“I believe many experts will gather on that island by then. I came here to invite you to join me on the island so we can look out for each other.”
Gilberto revealed his true purpose for coming to Falling Blossom Palace.
In his view, Seraphina would not refuse since Falling Blossom Palace was much weaker than Runecarver Sect.
“Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Benson. I will go with my elders from the palace,” Seraphina said coolly.
Gilberto’s smile froze for a moment before he instinctively looked at Gracie.
“Ms. Wright, Cultivators from Giant Wolf Dynasty and Godsbane Dynasty are not easy to deal with. The island will be fraught with danger. Even Spirit Saint experts might fall. Why not join forces with Runecarver Sect? We can look out for each other,” Gilberto said sincerely with a handsome face and earnest tone.
Gracie pondered; Gilberto’s words tempted her.
As Gilberto said, the residence of a third-stage Spirit God would undoubtedly contain unknown dangers. Plus, with other forces’ experts entering, it would be even more perilous.
The best way to handle this situation was to form an alliance. Though it might reduce their gains slightly, it was far better than facing immense risks alone.
Gracie did not immediately agree because Runecarver Sect was much stronger than Falling Blossom Palace. If they found any spiritual pills or opportunities, she doubted if Runecarver Sect would share them with Falling Blossom Palace.
After pondering, Gracie exchanged glances with Vice Palace Master Willow before looking at Seraphina.
Seraphina gently shook her head and looked at Gilberto. “Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Benson. What goes on with the island is unclear. Even if we enter together, we might not be transported to the same location.”
Gilberto’s expression stiffened slightly at her words.
