Back when he was still gravely injured, he could not even turn his head. As such, he was not able to take a glimpse of his savior. “Miss, may I know who your lady is? By the way, where did she go?” “She’s called Melany Yanis, and she has gone to Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster since the Welkin Academy is currently admitting new disciples. Ms. Melany wants to join the academy,” the woman answered. Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. The Welkin Academy? What the hell was that? He asked, “What’s the Welkin Academy?” The woman suppressed a snicker and said, “You aren’t a cultivator I guess, or you would have heard about the Welkin Academy.” James simply smiled and said nothing. The woman explained, “There are a few influential forces in the Ancient Realm, primarily the Sect, the Academy, and the Clan.” James asked puzzledly, “What do you mean?” The woman said, “The Sect refers to the Divinity Sect.” Hearing this, James took a deep breath. Though he k
Though his physical strength was at the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair, his rank had not increased. In fact, he was only at the Herculean Fifth Layer. After fighting against the beast to evaluate his current strength, James hurriedly made his way over to Doncaster City. For the next three days, James was on the move. Three days later, he arrived at his destination. As he left the mountain range, a huge city a thousand years old appeared before him. Its walls were hundreds of meters high, and they were constructed from grey granite. Outside the walls, there were many armor-clad guards armed with swords garrisoned. The words ‘Doncaster City’ were carved onto the city gate. As James gazed at the city before him, he murmured, “This should be Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster. I wonder if the Welkin Academy is still admitting disciples. I hope I can make it.” James had nowhere to go in this foreign land. Since the Welkin Academy was the strongest in the Ancient Real
The only people he was worried about were his family. If he knew this was going to happen, he would have brought them into the Celestial Abode and cultivated in there. “I know that they will be fine,” James said anxiously. Before his trial, Cody had promised he would protect Thea. Not only that, but he also had Marcello’s assistance. As a member of the Demon Race, not to mention that James had a close relationship with her, Marcello would not sit idly by as Yuvaan slaughtered his family. Thinking about this, James took a deep breath. He changed the topic and asked, “By the way, what rank are you at now?” Henry smiled smugly and said, “I’ve been cultivating in the Time Chamber all this while, so I’ve already reached the Eighth Inner Gate of the Supernatural rank. Soon, I’ll be a Herculean!” “Mhm.” James nodded. With the Time Chamber, Henry and the others should be able to increase their strength drastically in a short period of time. “What about the four-hundred-thousand
James had no idea what the Three-Thousand Cultivations Arts were. Regardless, since Sophie wanted to have a glimpse at them, James did not stop her. “Sure thing,” James said nonchalantly. Hearing this, the Spirit Tool furrowed his eyebrows. “James, are you playing dumb or what? Do you have any idea how powerful the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts are? Do you know that the late Emperor Jabari went to great lengths to acquire them?” James said nonchalantly, “Well, taking a look at them won’t hurt, right?” “I love you so much, James!” Wearing a bright smile, Sophie turned and left. James could not care less. He would not lose anything by allowing her to have a look at them. The Spirit Tool said nothing and left. James remained inside the Celestial Abode for the whole day. The next morning, he left the Celestial Abode, walked out of the forest, and headed toward Doncaster City. By the time he arrived, there was already a crowd gathered by the city gate. They were all geni
“You have a time limit of ten days. “You will be disqualified if you fail to enter the arena in the central region within ten days. “The number of tokens you seize will only determine your ranking and the opponent you will be assigned to in the arena. Your main objective should be to arrive at the arena at all costs.” “Remember, there are only ten thousand openings. Once ten thousand people have entered the arena, the rest will be disqualified immediately regardless of the tokens you have in your possession. “After ten thousand people have entered the arena, a battle will be held to determine the admission of a thousand disciples. This means that only a thousand people are eligible to join the Welkin Academy.” “Not only that, but those in the top ten will gain the right to be one of the Sect Elder’s disciples, whereas the number one top-ranking participant will be admitted as an Inner Disciple by the headmaster.” The Sect Elder briefly described the rules of the admission p
James could not care less about a cultivator at the Herculean First Layer. With his current strength, he could easily annihilate him without resorting to Sacrilegious Ascension. He grinned mischievously at the man before him. “Cut the cr*p!” The man’s face darkened as he swung his sword. Terrifying Sword Light shredded through the air and charged toward James. James smiled faintly as he appeared a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. When the Sword Light made contact with the ground, the earth rumbled. A sword appeared in James’ hand. It was the Primordial Dragon Blade that he had kept in the Celestial Abode. With the sword in hand, he magically appeared before the man. Before the man could react, James’ sword was already pressed against his neck. “I…” His blood ran cold. He was a Herculean First Layer, which was considered powerful at his age. Now, however, he was defeated in seconds. James extended his arm and said coldly, “Come on.” Frustrated, the man l
The woman was losing ground. Blood trickled down the wound on her arm and stained her white dress. Regardless, she fought on, unwilling to yield. “Is that Melany?” James stood in mid-air and watched the battle below. The woman’s aura felt familiar. Without the slightest hesitation, he descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground, yelling, “Stop right there!” His voice boomed. Hearing this, Melany and her opponent turned to look at James. When she saw him, Melany was dumbfounded. “Isn’t that…” Meanwhile, her opponent stared at James. Sensing his unusual aura, he threatened, “This is none of your concern! Stay out of this.” James paid no heed to him and walked toward Melany. The gorgeous woman before him had fine and delicate features. However, she was currently in a wretched state. Her arm was wounded, and her dress was blood-stained. Unsure of her identity, James asked, “Melany Yanis?” “Wh-Why are you here?” Melany immediately recognized James. This wa
The requirements for joining the Welkin Academy were extremely strict. Among the 10 thousand examinees who successfully entered the arena, only a thousand would have the right to join the academy after a battle. Melany knew that she would not be able to become a disciple of the Welkin Academy with her current strength. Regardless, she had to give her best. Besides, now that she had James’ assistance, getting to the central region would be less difficult. “By the way…” Upon being reminded of something, Melany looked at James pleadingly. “Huh?” James asked, confused, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Melany said, “Didn’t the Sect Elder say that the tokens will determine our ranking? That means the more tokens I obtain, the higher my ranking will be. “Meanwhile, the current ranking serves only to assign our opponents. If I have a higher ranking, I might be able to enter the top 1000 even if I’m defeated in the coming battle.” James thought about it. That seemed to be th
