Despite being composed of simple buildings, the Ancient Clan’s territory was enormous.James and Yoan’s lodgings were arranged in an independent courtyard.Meanwhile, Quintina left to report to her elders.Many mountains could be seen behind the village.A few buildings stood on the mountain peaks.Those qualified to stay in these mountains were prominent figures within the Ancient Clan.Her father was meditating in seclusion. As the Ancient Clan’s Elder, Thoryn Gideon was in charge of the clan’s affairs.Quintina ascended the mountain where Thoryn cultivated.A bearded man in his 70s sat on top of the mountain, playing with a cricket.“Elder Thoryn.” Quintina greeted him from afar.“Quintina.” Thoryn glanced at her, and picked up the cricket.Thoryn remained seated on the ground. He looked at Quintina approaching and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Quintina looked at the slovenly elder with a helpless expression, saying, “It’s nothing serious. It’s regarding t

The next day, there was a knock on the door just before dawn.James stopped cultivating and went to open the door.An Ancient Clan disciple stood outside the door. With a respectful look, he said, “Sir, the competition for the right to enter the Pagoda of Flames begins today. The Young Lady has instructed me to bring you to Mount Trinvard.”“Alright, thank you.” James walked out of his room.As he stepped outside, Yoan also walked out of his room.“Sir.” James greeted Yoan.Then, the Ancient Clan disciple led the two out of the village toward a mountain.Mount Trinvard was the highest mountain within the Ancient Clan. It was also the residence of the Ancient Clan’s leader. Under normal circumstances, the clan’s disciples were forbidden to ascend the mountain.Today was an exception as it was an important event for the clan that took place every half a century.The disciples have trained for many years to prepare for this day and to win the chance into the Pagoda of Flames to b

Soon, a few more people appeared on the Ancient Clan’s Mount Trinvard with their disciples James did not recognize any of them.Yoan patiently told James all about them.“Did you see the person talking with Elder Thoryn just now? He’s the Infernal Emperor. He’s a transcendent powerhouse and is one of the top ten in the Ancient Realm.”“The man in gray clothes over there is Emperor Tamerlan.”James observed them from a distance and waited.Some of the Ancient Clan’s elders had left and gathered in a hall on Mount Trinvard.The person leading the gathering was Thoryn.Thoryn’s voice boomed, “Many outsiders are participating in the competition this time. We’ll have to make changes to the competition’s rules. My suggestion to make the participants go through the Mound of Sabers first. We’ll allow those who pass through it to participate in the competition, and the rest will be disqualified. What do you guys think?”“We’ll let you call the shots.”“Elder Thoryn, the Mound of Sabe

A shriek came from beyond, and a young man from the Ancient Clan scrambled out.James glanced over and saw that the young man had been injured by the powerful Sword Intent. He was bleeding all over, and his face was pale as a sheet. He was evidently in a bad mental state.James ignored the young man.Although the Sword Intent in the area was potent, it was still within tolerable levels for him.“James.”Suddenly, a voice came from within the Celestial Abode.After hearing Sophie’s voice, James replied to Sophie, “Yeah? What’s wrong?”Sophie said, “There are many swords and sword techniques here. They’re not particularly special, but they’ll come in handy for you. I can sense that each of these swords comes with a sword technique of its own. Since you’re focusing on your swordsmanship, you should acquire and learn these sword techniques.”“How do I acquire them?” asked James.“Keep going. I’ll guide you.”After listening to Sophie’s advice, James quickly advanced and crossed t

Under Quintina’s gaze, James entered the cave once more.After he entered the cave, he stood two meters away from the divine sword. The sword’s aura was potent, and its Sword Energy was savage. James felt like his body was being scorched by fire.Quintina followed him into the cave again. Seeing that James could stand unscathed close to the sword, she found herself murmuring, “This guy doesn’t seem that weak after all. He can actually withstand the Sword Intent within this cave.”James stood still, and a vigorous Spiritual Power came from within the Celestial Abode. It communed with the divine sword and forcefully snatched the sword technique recorded within it.A fiery red light sank into James’ forehead.At that moment, James’ head was filled with massive amounts of information.It was a complete set of swordsmanship skills, including the cultivation method and the sword techniques.The information felt like it had been branded by hot iron into James’ mind.Since the sword gl

James casually pointed to one of the Ancient Clan’s disciples.“I choose him.”After James selected his opponent, those behind him also began choosing theirs in order.Then, the contest began.Since James was the first to pick an opponent, the competition began with him versus his chosen opponent.His opponent was a disciple from the Ancient Clan.Outside the arena, Quintina looked at Yoan with a bright smile and said, “Sir Yoan, your disciple has a bad eye for opponents. The person he picked isn’t just some regular guy. He’s the eldest grandson of one of our eldersand had been personally tutored by the elder since he was a child. Although he’s young, he isn’t weak. He is already at the Immortal Ascension’s Fourth Stair.”Yoan smiled faintly and said, “Just sit back and wait to be surprised, then. I’m confident in James.”At that moment, the Ancient Clan disciple drew his sword. He pointed his long sword at James, and Sword Energy rippled through the air. He looked at James cal

James won his first battle without putting in much effort. He overwhelmed his opponent with his sheer strength.The audience was surprised by his powerful physical strength.Then, he waited patiently.One after the another, the next few matches were held as planned.The day passed by quickly.Throughout the entire day, the hundred or so participants fought against each other. By the end of the day, everyone had fought their matches.Unsurprisingly, Quintina, the Divinity Sect’s Grand Supernatural, the Infernal Emperor’s disciple, and Emperor Tamerlan’s disciple, all won their respective matches.After the first day’s matches were over, the participants were allowed to rest for the night as the next round would commence the day after.James headed back to his lodgings to rest.At night, James and Yoan met up in the courtyard.Yoan said, “Today, two groups were formed at random. Since your group got to select their opponents today, you’ll be the ones being picked from for tom

The other people in Harolds’ group took a few steps back. They were fully aware of who Harold was and did not want to go against him. Choosing to fight him was akin to basically forfeiting your match.“I still want to choose him.”Harold pointed at James.James’ brows furrowed together. He was slightly incensed by Harold’s decision. ‘There are so many other people. Why does he insist on choosing me?’James said in a discontented tone, “Do you take me for an easy opponent?”Harold replied earnestly, “No. I chose you because you’re strong. I like fighting against strong opponents. Most importantly, you’re from Welkin Academy.”James nodded and said, “Alright. Since you chose me, I won’t back down from the match. Is the strength of the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair really that amazing? Watch me put you in your rightful place.”James sneered spitefully in his heart.He decided to secretly use the Sacrilegious Ascension in his next match if Harold overpowered him.If he expl
