Life After Prison

Chapter 2153
Taken aback by the story, Severin asked frantically, “Could you elaborate on his exploits all those years ago?”
Severin’s eager expression felt rather peculiar to Ferland but he did not pay it much attention. He cleared his throat and
continued, “I was merely a young warrior king at that time, so I don’t know much about him. However, rumors suggest that he
appeared in the Starry Sky Battlespace out of nowhere and left his name on its stone tablet. Apparently, he killed numerous
powerhouses and supposedly acquired a rather special tower-shaped item. Ever since then, he grew even stronger and took
less than ten years to progress from paragon to supreme paragon. Even those from sacred lands were suffocated by his energy.”
Ferland then shook his head before adding, “That’s all I know.”
Severin became more and more convinced that the person Ferland spoke of was the Old Wacko. Such actions, like taking a
female paragon with him, was characteristic of the man’s antics.
Old Wacko’s drunken boasts about slicing open the sky in one slash and killing several hundred thousand practitioners in one go
came to mind. Though Severin initially dismissed all that as the ramblings of an inebriated savant, Ferland’s account seemed to
bring more credibility to those stories.
Later, after Severin entered into the Skyblue Sect and discovered that Wuhlricht was the Old Wacko’s junior, he was told that the
Old Wacko had arrived in Bleurealm and was being targeted by one of Bleurealm’s strong forces. He initially wondered if the Old
Wacko had done some despicably heinous act. It was Ferland’s explanation that provided more context.
As Severin contemplated, Ferland shared another titbit. “Rumor has it that he revisited the Starry Sky Battlespace before
ascending to immortality because he lost something there. Then, the Yaochi Sacred Land’s sect leader broke through the void
formation to enter the Starry Sky Battlespace, and his aim was to explore what that unaffiliated practitioner left behind. However,
he returned with serious injuries and could only utter the word ‘divinity’.”
Severin’s excitement surged. ‘Did the Old Wacko leave something behind?’ he wondered. The rumor’s veracity was of little
importance, as Severin was determined to investigate either way. Firstly, the Old Wacko had left certain something gat the Starry
Sky Battlespace; secondly, it was implied from Ferland’s description that the miniature black tower came from the Starry Sky
Battlespace!
Ferland noticed Severin’s thoughtful expression and teased. “Excited, are we?”

He had mentioned the Starry Sky Battlespace to demonstrate his sincerity toward Severin, as well as raise a request to Severin.
However, the soon-to-come sect tournament was more important, so anything related to the Starry Sky Battlespace could be
deferred to another day.
Severin chuckled in response to Ferland’s playful comment. “The allure is hard to resist.”
“Good to know. I’m confident you will be able to secure entry into the Starry Sky Battlespace,” Ferland said while stroking his
beard. “We’ll have a more detailed conversation after the tournament.”
Ferland then took his leave while Severin contemplated the information he was told. “There seems to be something in the Starry
Sky Battlespace that he wishes to procure. But the main point is that the Old Wacko has been there, and I need to have a look at
whatever It is he encountered there!”
With newfound motivation, Severin returned to his training room. Armed with the Enlightenment Stone, he entered a state of
deep meditation and consumed the seventh-grade Breakthrough Pill.
A realm of mystique seemed to unfold before Severin as he held the Enlightenment Stone. The world soon gained clarity.
