The Omniscient Deity thought for a while and said, “I don’t have an answer to that question. Master Delphinia was the one who converted her energy. She’s on Mount Wunderton right now. I can take you there so you can ask her personally.”The Omniscient Deity turned around and set off. He led James away from the mountain to an independent manor. Inside the manor, they met an old nun, Master Delphinia.Master Delphinia clasped her hands together and greeted, “Lord Omniscient.”She turned to James and asked, “And you’re James, right?”“Yeah.”James went straight to the point. “Are you the one who converted Thea’s cultivation and caused her to lose memory?”Master Delphinia replied, “It was her own decision.”James asked, “Is there a way to restore her memories?”After briefly thinking about it, Master Delphinia said, “There is a way, but…”“Quickly tell me if there’s a way.”Master Delphinia said, “She lost her memory because her cultivation was dispersed. Outsiders like us a
The Omniscient Deity was dissatisfied with being ordered around by James. He was in the intel business, not running errands for others.“I’m not your subordinate, James. Who are you to order me around?”He looked at James with furrowed brows.James glanced at him and said, “This should be a trivial matter for you, right?”“It is indeed very trivial. Fine, I’ll only help you this once.”The Omniscient Deity pointed to a courtyard and continued speaking, “You can stay over there for the time being.”“Alright.” James gently nodded.Then, he turned around and walked off.After James left, the Omniscient Deity wore a smirk as he murmured, “This kid sure is arrogant.”James approached the courtyard the Omniscient Deity had pointed out to him and entered the house situated in there.The house had a very simple layout with only a bed and chair.James sat in a lotus position on the bed and took out a Novenary Golden Pill.He had obtained seven Novenary Golden Pills from King Quavo
After he swallowed the pill, the energy within the Novenary Golden Pill permeated his entire body. James quickly mobilized his True Energy to absorb and refine the energy.His True Energy gradually increased.The energy surrounding him also constantly grew more potent.While absorbing the Novenary Golden Pill’s energy, James was also thinking about how to enter the ninth rank.The ninth rank had yet to be recorded in history.Throughout the ages, no one knew how to enter the ninth rank. Thus, one would have to constantly ponder to try and comprehend it.James was already powerful. It only took three days for him to absorb the Novenary Golden Pill’s energy, and his True Energy improved again.However, it was not enough.Despite his best efforts, he was unable to break through the barrier behind the Ninth Stair.James failed to enter the ninth rank.“Is my True Energy not strong enough?” James frowned.He contemplated for a while.Afterward, he took out another Novenary Golde
The Jade Sect had existed for over a thousand years and had always remained a neutral force.The Sect Leader of every generation was called the Omniscient Deity.To outsiders, this was the Jade Sect’s tradition. In actuality, the Omniscient Deity had always been the same person from the beginning to the present.Nineteenth-ranked grandmasters were peerless and lived long lives. It was unbelievable for one to live so long, which was why the Jade Sect announced to the public that each generation’s Sect Leader would inherit the title of Omniscient Deity.For more than a thousand years, the Omniscient Deity had never encountered another ninth-ranked grandmaster, nor had anyone come close to reaching the ninth rank.James was the first person he met in the past thousand years to be close to reaching the ninth rank. Thus, he was excited and looking forward to James finally stepping into the ninth rank.Meanwhile, James was struggling to break into the ninth rank even after absorbing
The Omniscient Deity watched as James left.With James’ current strength, the Omniscient Deity knew it was only a matter of time before he stepped into the ninth rank.It might be impossible now, but James would surely step into the ninth rank in a few decades or even a hundred years later.“This world is finally getting more interesting.”The Omniscient Deity’s lips formed a faint smile.While James was leaving Mount Jade, Tapio was kneeling on the ground in a palace within an underground cavern near Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains.Sitting on the platform, Tyrus asked, “How’s it going?”Tapio replied, “Master, James has been in a closed-door meditation in Mount Jade for the past month. Judging from the energy emanating from him, he must’ve already reached the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair’s peak. As for whether he’s broken into the ninth rank, I can’t be certain.”Tyrus gently nodded and said, “Alright. He’s already the most outstanding martial artist we’ve had in a
James meditated in Mount Jade for a month.He initially thought he could enter the ninth rank once he reached the limit of his cultivation base.However, entering the ninth rank was much more complicated than he had imagined. Despite reaching the limit of his strength, he still could not enter the ninth rank.He could only give up for the time being.James left Mount Jade.As soon as he left Mount Jade’s range, he was blocked by a young man.The man looked about thirty years old. He had long hair and was dressed in cyan clothes.James immediately recognized him. He was Sky.James' brows furrowed.He could tell Sky had already refined the Novenary Golden Pill after receiving it. His cultivation base had already reached its limit. Thus, the side effect of absorbing energy from others should have also been resolved.James looked at Sky with a frown and asked, “What do you want?”Sky asked, “James, do you remember promising to go overseas with me to face the Blood Race?”James
The world would be full of ninth-ranked grandmasters in the past thousand years if it were so easy.Hearing this, Sky heaved a sigh in relief.He had ascended the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair and thought he could step into the ninth rank if he obtained a Novenary Golden Pill. However, he underestimated what was required. After refining the Novenary Golden Pill, he only reached the Ninth Stair’s peak.He was still one step short of the ninth rank.Despite it being the last step, he could not take it, no matter how hard he tried.Although he sighed in relief, he still asked doubtfully, “You and I should be of the same rank. Why do I feel like your strength is much greater than mine?”James said with a smile, “Because I cultivated my own True Energy. At most, I only relied on the Novenary Golden Pills. You, on the other hand, absorbed most of your True Energy from others, causing your True Energy to be impure. As a result, your True Energy is much weaker than mine, even though we’
Thea was in dismay.How did she lose her memory?What happened in the past?Quincy was also clueless about what happened to Thea and how she lost her memory.“You shouldn’t stress about this for now. Let’s go out for a stroll,” said Quincy.“Mhm, that’ll do too.”Since Thea had been staying home most of the time, she was slightly bored. “Wait for me for a while. I need to change.”Thea got up and walked into the villa.After changing, Thea got ready to leave, but James arrived just before she reached the villa’s gate.James was holding a bouquet of flowers. He handed them to Thea with a bright smile. “Thea, this is for you.”Thea pouted and said, “I don’t want them.”Although she wanted to accept them, she did not reach out to take them because she was upset that James had not come to see her in the past month.“Let’s go, Quincy.”Thea pulled Quincy and left.James looked at Quincy embarrassedly and greeted, “Y-You’re here too?”Quincy winked at James and said, “Yeap.
