nVale’s answer was like the words of deities that came to bless the young researcher. This answer wasn’t something that he could read in any textbooks! It was something that not even the most prestigious academies would willingly share with their precious students!

nOf course, Vale didn’t tell him a very important detail.

nHis explanation only works for the Immortals that had originally come from this Human Realm. There were still other Immortals that were already born as Immortals in the Celestial Realm were all kinds of transcendent beings lives. For those beings, there was no need for any sort of Ascension at all.

nNonetheless, Vale didn’t think that telling this information would be helpful at all. In any case, he was just casually chatting with this person and trying to act like a truly knowledgeable immortal.

nIt certainly felt quite good to act knowledgeable from time to time.

nOn the other hand, Agent Reed had already finished processing the words he just said.

n“Wow, that’s amazing. Which path did you follow, sir?” Agent Reed asked, his eyes wide with awe.

nVale paused, wondering if he should reveal his choice.

nHowever, he immediately felt against telling the truth. He decided to give a vague answer instead. “I followed the path of the mind, Agent Reed. But I also learned from the other paths and integrated them into my own. That is why I have a variety of abilities and a balanced perspective.”

nWell, he certainly didn’t follow the normal path because of his Divine Extraction System.

n“I see. That’s very impressive, sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you more questions later…” Agent Reed said, his voice full of gratitude and admiration.

n“Not at all, Agent Reed. I can take more of your life when you ask more questions. Right, since you made a follow-up question. I will take a total 15 years of your life then.” Vale said, his voice warm and polite.

n“Come here…”

nVale said as he raised his hand, wanting to touch Reed’s shoulder.

nAlthough he could also extract without needing to touch him and only use his spell, he decided to show the need to make contact instead.

nReed suddenly froze up as he seemed to have just realized what kind of deal he had made to the Immortal.

n“Ahem… So you’re not joking about that Sir Immortal.” Reed weakly said as he stepped forward. Although he obviously didn’t like what was about to happen, he still accepted his fate and allowed the Immortal to touch him and take his life. In any case, he brought this to himself, and he had no one to blame

nOn the other hand, Vale simply looked at the Spell Models of this Researcher. He was actually practicing the Alchemy Path, which seemed to be very useful in most research.

nHowever, most of this person’s spells were meant for Weapon Crafting, Potion Brewing, Talisman Making, and Pill Creation.

nIn short, they were spells that he didn’t need since he had Magnus and Denise for that. He didn’t want to take their jobs, so he might as well stay away from these Spells.

nWell, Vale didn’t really expect to get an incredible Spell Model from an unknown researcher. Things like that won’t just happen randomly.

nAnyway, Vale decided to just extract some Energy Point from the man. It was something that would weaken him for a while but would certainly not take his life.

nAs soon as Agent Reed felt weakened, he kneeled to the ground to support himself.

n‘So that was 15 years gone in my life…’ Agent Reed thought, but surprisingly, he didn’t feel very against it since he knew that the knowledge he got would probably become a heirloom for his family.

nOf course, he had no idea that his Vitality Points or any of his Attribute Points weren’t taken away at all. He simply felt tired after his energy was taken away. He would still recover after some rest, but Vale had no plans to tell him about that.

nAfter taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, Agent Reed slowly stood up.

n“Thank you, sir. You are very kind and generous,” He said, bowing slightly. He also showed his genuine feelings with those words.

nVale didn’t feel any hatred or discontent from him.

nAgent Reed then returned to his seat on the other side of the library while clutching the book to his chest. At this moment, his mind was filled with new information, and he had some more questions about the immortals. However, he could no longer waste his life.

n‘Should I go and tell the others to ask their questions in exchange for their life?’ He mused for a moment. There would probably be fanatics who would willingly give up their lives, but he also felt guilty to ruin their lives for that.

nIn the end, he decided not to tell the others about this.

nVale watched Agent Reed go, feeling a sense of satisfaction and amusement.

nHe somehow enjoyed talking to the curious Agents and sharing bits of knowledge with them. .

nOf course, while he was here, he also enjoyed learning from them and finding out more about the Bureau, its history, its structure, and its projects.

nAlthough he had Agent Axe and others who could provide this information, he also wanted to hear these from the perspective of the normal Agents in the Bureau.

nAfter asking around, he also learned more about the Remnant of the Celestial Realm, the destination of their journey.

nIt was a dungeon that had been discovered by the Bureau many years ago, in a remote and snowy region.

nHowever, as it was guarded by Sage Merlin, they weren’t able to explore it and only knew a few details about it.

nThankfully, Sage Merlin was now under his control, so the Bureau was able to launch better explorations.

nAnyway, the Dungeon’s entrance appears like a massive crack of space. It was deep underground and they had to pass through multiple chambers and levels before being able to see it…

nAt this time, to ensure that not just anyone could enter it, and that no dangerous beings could come out of it, the Half-

nImmortals of the Bureau had arranged various traps, formation arts, and guardians around it. 𝘪𝑎.𝒸𝘰

n“How did you guys know that it’s a Remnant of the Celestial Realm?” Vale asked the Agent Axe after he visited the lounge of the Airship and found the Agent having some snacks.

nVale then joined him and chatted for a bit.

n“Ahem… Sir Immortal, aside from the information we found out from the Overseer, we believe that it’s the Celestial Realm since we confirmed that there’s a Celestial Palace there… Although it was already abandoned, it matched the description by the Three Paragons in their church’s codex. And similar descriptions were also found in the codex used by the Church of the Eminence of the Sea.”

n“So it was like that…” Vale gently nodded.

nHe further learned that the Celestial Palace was where the ancient Transcendent Beings had once lived and ruled.

nIt was said to contain their relics, their records, and their secrets. There were other amazing rumors about it, but in the end, it was already in an unknown state after most of the realm had been destroyed.

nVale also learned that the Bureau had been exploring the periphery of the ‘dungeon’ for a while now… Aside from the Golden Key that he needed to take, they had discovered plenty of things in the Dungeon.

nThey had encountered many difficulties and dangers, and they had lost many Agents in the process…

nNonetheless, because of these sacrifices, they also found many wonders and treasures in that Dungeon.

n“Sir, we are about to arrive at the location of the Dungeon’s entrance. Please prepare for landing,” a voice announced over the intercom, interrupting Vale’s thoughts.

nVale nodded and got up from his seat.

nAgent Axe also did the same, as they followed Director Lark and a few other agents to the exit of the aircraft.

nAs soon as Vale was seen, they all greeted him warmly and thanked him for his cooperation in this mission.

nDirectly Lark also briefed him on the situation below.

n“Sir, we are glad to have you with us I hope that you’ll succeed in sealing that Golden Key. As for the Dimensional Creatures that could possibly lurk around, we can’t really give you a piece of advice on it since we have no idea how to kill it.” Director Lark said, his voice confident and respectful.

n“I’ll work on it.” Vale said, his voice calm and sincere.

n“Thank you, sir. We appreciate your help, and your trust…” Director Lark said, his voice grateful and sincere.

nVale nodded and smiled.

nHe was now prepared to enter the Dungeon, and to see what it had in store.

nHe was ready to explore the Remnant of the Celestial Realm and to find out about the Golden Key!
