Chapter 174: Chapter 167: Spiritual Tunic Secret Priory

Byrne took a deep breath.

Almost from the beginning, Viscount Bast had informed himself that this was a mutually beneficial transaction, and he had not once deceived himself. Moreover, the Lion clan had indeed helped the Fischer family greatly.

Without the assistance of the Lion clan, the Fischer family would never have been able to develop to its current state, and everyone knew this.

He also understood the urgency of the other party. Even though Viscount Bast had not shown any trace of coercion in his tone just now, so many people were waiting here; how could he possibly not open the door? It would undoubtedly offend everyone.

“Lord Bast, how could I possibly not repay the kindness you have always shown to the Fischer family?”

He took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, then turned his head to look at Viscount Bast, his eyes filled with determination.

“Please tell me what to do.”

Viscount Bast nodded lightly and said calmly, “It’s simple. You just need to come to the palace doors, extend your hands to push them, and then stay still.”

“No matter what happens, you mustn’t move. Trust me!”

He paused for a moment before continuing:

“Your Destiny’s Trajectory is ‘Treasure Key.’ You may not yet know the mysterious knowledge about destiny, but let me make it clear, ‘Treasure Key’ is a very important destiny. Whether it is breaking through various challenges or playing a crucial role at key moments, you will find it much easier than ordinary people.”

“And in the Spirit Realm, your destiny ‘key’ further materializes. It can consume lifespan to exert its true effect… to open all doors, with lifespan as the price.”

My destiny is the ‘Treasure Key’?

Byrne carefully recalled everything he had experienced before, and it seemed to be true; every time he faced various challenges and bottlenecks, he was always able to break through relatively easily.

So this was the special aspect of his own destiny.

“I understand.”

He nodded slowly, approached the majestic palace made of amethyst, and extended his hand to try pushing open the doors of the amethyst palace.

Suddenly, Byrne felt a strong attraction emanating from the palace doors, and something within him seemed to be slowly draining away.

The feeling was terribly frightening, and instinctively, Byrne wanted to retreat.

But recalling what Viscount Bast had just said, he resisted the urge to step back.

White strands gradually appeared in Byrne’s hair, his temples turning progressively grey, as years upon years of his lifespan were absorbed by the amethyst palace.

“Creak!”

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the majestic amethyst palace doors slowly opened!

The suction finally disappeared.

“It worked…”

Byrne released his hands and knelt on one knee, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over, as if the most fundamental strength had been sapped away by something invisible.

Then, a strong, aged hand gently pulled him up.

“Come, Byrne Fischer! Our great hero, stand up!”

Viscount Bast smiled, gradually helping the kneeling Byrne to his feet, his gaze showing much affection.

The weakened Byrne took a deep breath, feeling a sudden sense of relief deep inside. At last, he could be sure of one thing.

Even if his usefulness had ended, Viscount Bast’s preferential treatment towards him and the Fischer family would not change.

Although it had been a relationship of mutual use from the beginning, Byrne now faintly felt that deep in his heart, Viscount Bast also held genuine affection for him.

As people entered through the palace doors, they arrived in a huge hall supported by purple crystal pillars. The ceiling of the hall was adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers, casting enchanting purple light and shadows into every corner.

The palace’s interior design and decorations were all of purple crystal, richly luxurious and mysterious, with walls inlaid with crystals of various shapes, full of unpredictable luminescence.

In the center, they found a purple crystal throne endowed with endless power, so lavish and majestic that it made people hesitate to look at it for too long.

“We’ve entered, this Spirit Realm palace truly seems to be a sacred and extraordinary place! Do they really not belong to anyone? Could there be people living here?”

“There are pathways leading down on both sides of the hall. Which way should we go?”

All the Extraordinary Exponents were filled with excitement; this was their first time in the legendary Spirit Realm palace. It was said that within every Spirit Realm palace lay many Forbidden knowledge and Spirit Realm secret treasures, and obtaining even one or two of these would be an immense gain!
