Facing Magnus’ coercion, Lillian had no choice but to compromise. Just as she was about to undress, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Come in!” Magnus’ voice was icy. There was a glint of murderous intent in his eyes. He hated being interrupted just as he was about to have fun.
However, seeing that it was Nathaniel who came in left Magnus both angry and helpless.
“Elder Crane, what brings you here?” he asked.
Nathaniel handed an invitation to Magnus. “This is an invitation from Phaedra Island. They are inviting the Supreme One to their triennial auction.”
Magnus’ eyes lit up at the mention of Phaedra Island. He grabbed the invitation and quickly examined it.
“Yes, it is an invitation from Phaedra Island. I’ve seen one before.”
Magnus was visibly excited. The significance of Phaedra Island was immense; it was a powerful hidden clan, almost like an immortal sect. The inhabitants were like terrestrial immortals, each possessing great supernatural abilities.
In the outside world, powers like the Supreme Nexus, the Novastar Organization, and the Dragonheart were already considered top-tier forces. Despite that, Phaedra Island
surpassed even these. Its influence and power were unmatched.
However, Phaedra Island was isolated and rarely contacted the outside world, so only a handful of people knew about it.
Phaedra Island was only opened once every three years around the Moonlight Festival. They would host a grand auction where prominent figures from around the world would be invited to participate.
These prominent figures were the top elites of the outside world, and throughout Dragotha, fewer than ten people were eligible to receive an invitation.
Only three people were allowed to enter with each invitation, meaning only about 20 to 30 people from Dragotha could attend the auction.
These attendees included leaders of top families, the Supreme One of Supreme Nexus, and the leader of the Celestial Dragon Organization, among others.
In addition, there were some deeply hidden families or sects in Dragotha, known as hidden families or hidden clans. These hidden families and clans were generally very powerful, with some even surpassing Supreme Nexus in strength. They usually operated low-key and were mostly located overseas or in remote mountains, which was why few people knew about them.
Magnus was so excited because of how grand the auction on Phaedra Island was. Not only
that, but the auction items were all invaluable treasures. Most importantly, pills were going to be auctioned.
Although pills were sold in some places in the outside world, they were actually just medicinal pills.
However, the pills from Phaedra Island were genuine, offering treatments for diseases and poisons, extending lifespan, and even enhancing cultivation bases. The pills were remarkably effective.
What Magnus desired most now were the pills that could enhance his cultivation base.
His current cultivation base had reached the pinnacle grandmaster level. Advancing further into the Divine Realm was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Without the aid of these pills, it would take him at least another ten years to have a chance.
But he couldn’t wait that long.
He was left frustrated during his previous collaborations with Merlin and Nelson. Despite being busy day in and day out, he didn’t get a share of the Seraphic Tear Pendant or the two amulets, nor was he even given the chance to participate in the research.
All of this was because his cultivation base was inferior to theirs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to treat him that way.
So, he secretly vowed to step into the Divine Realm in the shortest time possible. He was willing to pay any price to achieve it.
“This invitation has come at just the right time. Elder Crane, prepare yourself. You’re coming with me,” Magnus said.
“But, Celestial Master Thorne, this invitation is for the Supreme One,” Nathaniel refuted, somewhat apprehensive.
