Chapter - 3579

In short, Zeke was very curious.

Orion burst into hearty laughter. "I was summoned in Peach Garden by an Eternal Class warrior of my kind. I was called upon to harmonize the negative and positive energies for the Worldly Palace."

"Harmonize the negative and positive energies?"

"Yeah, by harmonizing the negative and positive energies, it can bring peace to all things. I believe it can also create a state of equilibrium within the Worldly Palace. This state of balance should be of great significance to Worldly Immortal."

Zeke gave a somewhat understanding nod, then pointed at the compass.

"Then do you happen to know about this object?"

"It's the Five Elemental War Compass," Orion said, a hint of longing and respect flickering in his eyes. "This is an ancient war compass, possessing five different attributes. Each attribute can unleash a unique kind of power."

"I see." Zeke slowly nodded, then furrowed his brows, his expression somewhat anxious.

"Zeke, what's wrong? You seem so agitated. Don't worry. There's no life-or-death crisis here. When I came here before, the palace protector promised me benefits. I'm sure you must have received the same. You don't have to worry about your safety."

"No." Zeke took a deep breath. His expression grew increasingly anxious. "I'm not after any benefits or anything like that. I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. My wife has already arrived at the Secret Realm of Mount Kush, and she's in danger. Vesper has been possessed."

"What?" Orion's eyes widened in shock.

Vesper's strength was formidable, possibly even surpassing Orion's. Yet unexpectedly, she had been possessed.

This surely sent chills down his spine.

"Zeke, are you lying to me?"

"No, I have no reason to lie to you. It truly seemed as though she was possessed. Moreover, the one who possessed her also took away my wife, Lacey. Her current whereabouts and condition are unknown. I wish to leave this place to search for her."

At that moment, Orion noticed Zeke's injuries. They appeared severe, likely causing him to regress to the late stage of Nebula Class. He was far from reaching zenith and had not yet fully recovered.

"Zeke, with your injuries being so severe, why are you still thinking about rescuing others? You should focus on healing first. Right now, there's no way to leave unless..."

"Unless what?" Zeke quickly asked.

"Unless you manage to reach Eternal Class here, or perhaps you could try persuading Worldly Immortal."

Zeke's lips twitched. Finding Worldly Immortal seemed to be an impossible task, and reaching Eternal Class was probably nothing more than a joke.

Zeke's greatest reliance had been the Demonic Lotus. With its help, he had a chance to reach Eternal Class. However, this was merely a hopeful possibility.

Zeke had no idea what the Demonic Lotus could actually do. His understanding was minimal.

However, Aretta had mentioned before that there was indeed a chance to reach Eternal Class with the help of the Demonic Lotus.

But now, Zeke's storage bag, as well as his weapons, had been taken away by Nine-Tailed Enchantress.

Zeke was both startled and furious. The mere thought of her stirred up anger within him. He wished he could end her life right then and there.

But there was no point talking about that now.

Even if Zeke managed to escape the Worldly Palace, his chances of leaving were slim. The black wall of the Ancient Graveyard still loomed, and even at full strength, breaking through it wasn't guaranteed.

Zeke was consumed with anxiety.

He had been afflicted by dark energy, Lacey's fate hung in the balance, her life or death unknown, and now he was trapped in the Worldly Palace, without a shred of news from the outside world.

A wave of urgency surged through Zeke's heart, and his eyes betrayed a touch of madness.

"Orion!"

He suddenly fixed his gaze on Orion, his intense look catching Orion by surprise.

"Zeke, you-"

"How can I reach Eternal Class?" Zeke asked anxiously.
