Chapter 294 Ch 294: Verom Conner
When the Fifth Inscription lit up, the gravity was boosted to 32 times that of normal, and the next instant, other than two people, everyone else fell to the ground and fainted. Many of them also started bleeding as their skin cracked.
Vyom waved his hand and the gravity disappeared. He announced: "The two people still standing on stage have passed the first test. The second batch of 100 people, please go to the stage!"
And thus, the test once again started.
.....
Somewhere far, in the north of Nine Star Mountain Sect, there was a small city.
Verom woke up and found himself in an unfamiliar room. He slowly sat up as he held his chest, stunned at the sight of the gorgeous room.
"Didn't I already die?"
He suddenly remembered the face of a beautiful and vicious woman, and his eyes were filled with hatred. That woman was the one closest to him, as a dignified Divine Emperor and Pill Emperor, he had never thought that she would try to kill him.
The moment he broke through to the Pill Emperor and managed to refine a pill that has surpassed the stage of Divine Emperor, she poisoned him in order to obtain that pill. He could never forget the betrayal.
Fortunately, he had a reincarnation crystal in his possession that he obtained from an ancient ruin. Before his death, he remembered hurriedly using the reincarnation token so that he could reincarnate once again.
He slowly regained his memories and let out a sigh. He then muttered: "I didn't expect instead of reincarnating into a new body, I reopened my eyes when I was 25 and crippled by that damn bastard."
He was still thinking when a beautiful woman in her thirties walked in with a bowl in her hand.
Verom was dumbfounded looking at her and tears rolled down on his cheeks as he called out: "Mum!"
"Verom, you're awake!" The woman was surprised. She immediately sit beside him and asked: "Why are you crying? Do you feel any pain?"
She then carefully checked his body, making sure nothing was wrong.
Verom hugged the woman at once, and said, "Mum, it is really you! I'm not dreaming!"
She realized that Verom was just missing her so much, and nothing was wrong with the pain in his body, she smiled at him and said, "What's wrong? You start to miss me already after such a short period of not seeing each other?" She patted Verom's back gently.
Verom's body trembled as he held her hand tightly.
He snuggled into her warm embrace. He had only dreamt of his mother in his previous life many times. Every time he woke up, he would have tears streaming down his face.
His whole family was killed by the Richardman Family. Verom was able to escape because his parents tried so hard to protect him. He would never forget how they died in front of him just to give him a chance to escape. Even his beautiful little sister sacrificed herself to provide him with more time so that he could escape safely.
He was already crippled at that time, but he met someone who changed his destiny completely. That person's name was Alex White. He could still remember this person.
Later, when he broke through to the Divine Lord Stage, he came back for revenge. However, at that time, the Richardman Family was already in ruins.
Despite searching for a long time, Verom couldn't find who destroyed the Richardmam Family. Although he found out that they were commanded to kill his family, he didn't know who the real enemy was behind everything that happened.
But now that Verom had been reborn, his mother was alive and in front of him.
Verom clenched his fists. He would protect his family well in this life, and he would never let anyone hurt them again.
He reluctantly let go of his mother after a long time and wiped his tears with his hands.
"Come, Verom. It's time to drink the medicine." His mother held the medicine and slowly fed it to him with a spoon. "From now on, you are not allowed to fight with others. Do you hear me?" she sternly said.
Verom nodded at his mother's reproachful words. He looked at the medicine in her hand and slowly drank it.
No matter how bitter it was, the medicine tasted sweet since his mother was feeding it to him.
As they talked, his mother informed him about what happened and what time it was since he woke up.
If he remembered correctly, it was just yesterday that Croff Richardman told him that he wanted to sleep with his sister. He also taunted him by insulting about his sister. Verom couldn't take it anymore and started to fight with Croff. Since Croff had the strength of a Perfection Level of Celestial Phenomenon Stage, he had easily beaten Verom up who was only at the Initial Level of Celestial Phenomenon Stage, and knocked him out and destroyed his dantian.
The Richardman Family would attack his family, the Conner Family, three months from now, and they would slaughter his entire family.
"My god, thank you for letting me return to this time, thank you. I won't let the past happen again," Verom Conner thought to himself.
After that, he and his mother continued to chat until his mother told him to rest more.
She also said: "Son, don't worry. So what if your dantian was destroyed by that Croff Richardman, our Conner Family still has a lot of prestige. Your father will definitely find a way to help you rebuild not only your dantian but also regain your cultivation base as well. Don't think too much about anything and rest well!"
She then left his room and carefully closed the door.
Once she left, Verom stood up and a profound expression appeared on his face. He took a deep breath and a blurry figure seemed to have appeared in his mind. He slowly spoke: "Alex White, it was you who helped me not only rebuild my dantian, you also helped me grow my cultivation at the fastest speed. It was because of you I was able to enter the Nine Star Mountain Sect and start my journey as an alchemist."
"I remember you during this period of time, you were constantly troubled by a group of people who called themselves the Holder of Hell Blades. This time, I will help you fight them, and I will also help you find your fiance."
With that, he took a deep breath and muttered again: "But before that, I have to rebuild my dantian. However, this is an easy feat for me, the Pill Emperor."
A series of illusory figures flashed behind him and the next moment, there was a bluish-red flame appeared in front of Verom.
Verom's blood energy suddenly started burning as his aura rose rapidly. A swirl appeared at the place of his dantian that instantly swallowed his previously destroyed dantian. And after that, a burning dantian started slowly forming.
This was a technique he created after breaking through from Divine Lord Stage to Divine Emperor Stage.
At that time, he remembered that his dantian was destroyed, so he wanted to create a technique that could help one rebuild their dantian once again without needing to look for any precious and rare medicinal herb whose value surpasses that of an entire family's fortune.
After spending more than a thousand years, he did succeed in creating such a cultivation technique, but he still realized that one needed to pay a huge price if one want to rebuild their dantian.
Even with the help of this cultivation technique, one needed to consume their blood essence.
He did not expect that it will be him who would use this technique to rebuild his dantian after regressing back in time.
After Verom consumed a large portion of his blood essence, he managed to rebuild his dantian. Now, he could cultivate once again.
Verom spent more than five hours rebuilding his dantian. After that, he took a deep breath and muttered: "The only downside is that I need to cultivate from zero once again."
But he was not worried. As his mother said, the Conner Family was a huge family in this city. They have a lot of strength and resources. With the resources available in the Conner Family, he believed he would soon be able to cultivate to his previous stage and even surpass it.
Not to mention, he was now also a Pill Emperor.
Verom took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the Nine Star Mountain Sect, muttering: "If I remember correctly, he should be currently participating in the test. One month later, he will be recommended to the Nine Star Mountain Sect by Moon Palace because of his astonishing talent and high cultivation base."
"I have to hurry and enter the Nine Star Mountain Sect in one month."
After that, Verom suddenly seemed to have remembered something. A greedy light flashed in his eyes but it soon disappeared.
