Chapter 1561

"What's the Ascension Elixir?" someone asked. "It's a very rare and valuable pill," the previous speaker replied. "It's crafted from several rare ingredients and is known to enhance mental prowess. For those at the Intermediate Deity Realm, it's likely to help them break through to the mini-level. Its effects are powerful enough to push them past their limits." "Wow! Breaking through to the mini-level? That's incredibly tempting!" Everyone murmured, clearly impressed. "Exactly. That's why so many are searching for Sebastian's whereabouts. Who wouldn't want to claim such a generous bounty?" another person added. In a hidden cave, a supreme master who had spent years in seclusion was attracted by the reward. "Hmph! With such a tempting reward, there's no way you can escape my grasp, Sebastian." The supreme master sneered, and his figure vanished in an instant. In a small remote town, an organization known for its intelligence trade became busy. "Focus all efforts on tracking Sebastian's movements. This is a major opportunity," the leader of the organization commanded. Meanwhile, Sebastian remained unaware of the unfolding events. He was deep in a valley, practicing his newly mastered Dimension Slash. The power of Dimension Slash exceeded his expectations and would undoubtedly become one of his key trump cards in the future. After over a month of intense training, he had made notable progress. Though its current strength still didn't match his Reversal of the Elements, Dimension Slash was much more elusive. It defied conventional tactics, making it perfect for surprise attacks. Of course, it could also be a game-changer in direct combat. Sebastian stood up, stretched, and began walking away from the mountain range. He briefly considered returning to Aruna City. But as soon as he left the mountains, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance. The man's large frame was impossible to miss. Even from far away, it was easy to recognize him. It was Brody Hawke. His round belly jiggled with each movement like he was carrying a massive watermelon inside. His small eyes darted around quickly, and his shifty expression made it clear he wasn't the most trustworthy guy. Sebastian thought about sneaking up on him or maybe playing a little prank, but to his surprise, Brody was alert. As Sebastian reached out to grab him, Brody dodged the move with surprising agility. This caught Sebastian off guard. Although he wasn't making a serious attempt, even Holy Sons and Holy Maidens would struggle to avoid such a grab. He had always seen Brody as insignificant, but now he realized the man had surprising reflexes. Sebastian raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "Brody, I didn't know you had it in you." Brody chuckled, and his chubby cheeks shook with each laugh. His eyes narrowed into slits as he grinned mischievously. "Sebastian, it was just luck. Pure luck!" Sebastian snorted and crossed his arms. "Luck? I don't buy it." Brody slapped his chest and laughed. "I'm serious. I just did some random practice. I didn't think it'd actually come in handy. By the way, what brings you here?" "Why wouldn't I be here?" Sebastian replied, puzzled. Brody leaned in and lowered his voice. "You haven't heard, have you? The Cloudwarden Sacred Ground is offering a huge reward. Anyone who provides a lead can get one billion spiritual stones and an eternal fruit, plus an Ascension Elixir. A lot of people are looking for you." His eyes started to twitch as he spoke. A sly smile crept onto his face as if he was scheming something. "You're not planning to turn me in for that reward, right?" Sebastian asked, narrowing his eyes. "Exactly…" Brody quickly covered his mouth. His eyes widened in shock before he grinned again. "Just kidding! I'm a man of honor. I wouldn't betray my friend."
