Chapter 1014: Strange Voice [Bonus]
"Nice to finally meet you, Kent. I am Pill Monarch Yanki IV, this little one’s father," Pill Sage Flura’s father said, taking Kent’s hand in a firm shake.
"Nice to meet you, too, Lord Yanki. I have to say, having finally met you, I can see where little Flura gets her good looks from."
"Hahaha," Pill Monarch Yanki IV laughed, "I knew I would like you from the moment I heard you defeated my daughter in a fair duel."
Kent also laughed, causing Pill Sage Flura and Pill Monarch Nefeli to stare at the two shameless brats who, despite just meeting, one would think they’d known each other for years.
"I just came to thank you in person for helping my daughter back then. Because of you, she had learned a lot."
"No need to thank me, Lord Yanki, I am but a humble human who couldn’t let a fairy waste her potential."
"Spoken like a true man," Pill Monarch Yanki IV laughed, "When you return from the Pill Ascension Realm, be sure to pass by Planet Aerithyne; my family will welcome you with open arms."
"I will surely take up that offer."
Kent smiled and looked to Pill Sage Flura, "Are you prepared for the Pill Ascension Realm? I was told it is a dangerous place."
She hesitated, but then she nodded.𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Kent smiled, "Don’t worry, with me around, nobody will dare touch you."
Kent is no idiot. He knew the reason why Pill Monarch Yanki came to him was to ask him to look after his daughter when they entered the Pill Ascension Realm.
He saw what he could do, and as a father who loved his daughter, he knew that if he could get her to be seen with Kent, her future achievements would be endless, just as the Celestial Cloud Feather had told her.
Of course, as to how Kent does that, it would depend on him.
So he decided to make things simple for her.
"Pill Monarch Nefeli, can she stay with us?" Kent turned to his big sister and asked.
"She can stand anywhere she wants. After all, everybody will be transported to a random place once you enter."
"I see," Kent thought for a moment, and then he walked toward Pill Sage Flura and drew a symbol on her forehead.
"That handles it."
"What does it do?" she asked.
"It is my special tracking spell. With that, I can sense you from anywhere. It will last for 48 hours, so don’t worry, I will look for you before then."
"Okay."
"Thanks for your generosity, Kent," Pill Monarch Yanki thanked him, and after a few talks, they left. When they were gone, Pill Monarch Nefeli walked toward Kent...
"You know you don’t have to do that, right? She is from a different Alliance."
"I know. However, she is special, so I plan to protect her... for my future and the future of the Pyris Pill Alliance."
Pill Monarch Nefeli smirked.
She had no idea how Kent had found out about Nancy. However, he did manage to do so, and even went out of his way to avenge her. So in her eyes, perhaps listening to the brat wouldn’t be too bad.
Kent smiled and turned to Yuna... "Listen to your big sister while I am away. When I return, you will have a whole Primordial Flame to your name."
"Okay, big brother. I will listen to big sister and wait for you to return."
Kent nodded to her words. Yuna is a big softy who needed to be treated like a delicate flower, so he knew she would indeed listen to Pill Monarch Nefeli.

After four hours, it reached the Pyris Pill Alliance turn. Pill Monarch Nefeli gave them one last warning, "Remember, your mission is to gather as many pill ingredients, Pill Recipes, and Pill Techniques, and, if possible, normal pills you can.
If you can’t fight over a Primordial Flame, don’t. Do I make myself clear?"
They all nodded to her words.
"Then good luck, and may you return enlightened."
They started leaving one by one to take the trial. So far, ninety percent of the warriors groomed as alchemists had failed to pass the trial, leaving many alliances dejected.
However, for the Pyris Pill Alliance, all of them were alchemists personally selected by Pill Monarch Nefeli, so as they started taking the trial, the results started to show.
Only twenty-five of them qualified to take the trial. However, even after the first fifteen took the trial, all of them passed.
These results finally cemented Kent’s suspicion that this year, the Pill Ascension Realm was personally hand-picking true alchemists to enter.
As to why, he could only wait and find out after he entered. With thirty minutes, the twenty-fourth person from the Pyris Pill Alliance passed the trial, leaving only Kent.
"Keep an eye on them," Pill Monarch Nefeli said, and Kent nodded.
"Good luck, Big Brother," Yuna said, and Kent nodded.
Kent flew and landed beside the Soul Pillar.
He sighed and then pressed his hand against the pillar.
In an instant, the pillar lit up and hummed, causing the surroundings to shake. The Pill Legends narrowed their eyes, sensing a potent soul energy emanating from Kent.
In fact, everyone around could sense it, causing many to wonder just what kind of existence he was.
Meanwhile, in Kent’s mind, a voice spoke...
"Even after death, you never cease to amaze me, Sage. However, since you are now weak and can’t beat me, why don’t you hurry and come to me so we can continue from where we left off the last time? I doubt you have your memories, so don’t mind me if I bully you a little."
Laughter followed the words, causing Kent to feel like he had fallen into a trap.
’I can never catch a break,’ a smirk tugged on his lips as he walked and stood with the disciples from the Pyris Pill Alliance.

[Pill Ascension Realm - The Last Floor of the Pill Ascension Tower]
A man with a long, white beard and white hair sat behind a Wéiqí (an ancient Chinese board game that uses black and white stones or beads, also known as GO).
He was seated on the black side of the board, with only one black bead placed on the board.
"Kevin Sage, so you are back again." He smiled, feeling a mix of annoyance and happiness.
"I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. However, I know I will be getting my revenge this time," he smiled and brushed his beard with his fingers.
"Though petty, you are just too annoying to the point that if I don’t try today, you will come to haunt me later, so fear not, I will provide you opportunities, but I will also make you suffer."
He placed another black bead, and somewhere in the Pill Ascension Realm, a tower rose from the ground. When it was fully out, the name "Primordial Hell" was hung before the gate.
A few minutes after the tower appeared, a figure walked out and stretched his arms. He was a pale-looking old man.
His dark hair is dirty, and many facial tattoos glow as he breathes. He looked toward the tall tower in the distance.
"This old fucker is up to his games again," the man said, feeling annoyed.
The next second, he vanished and appeared atop the last floor of the Pill Ascension Tower, coming face-to-face with the white-bearded man.
"Old bastard, what do you want from me... Know that I am the Lord of the Seven Hell Primordial Flames. If you fuck with me, your death will be swift."
"Shut up, Gaap... Don’t you want to be free?"
