A slight leak had already contained such intense energy.How strong were these flames?James could not wrap his head around the idea. He put his worries aside and sat in a lotus position on the ground. Then, he activated his Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and quickly absorbed the energy around him.The Novenary Golden Body Siddhi could not only be used for body refinement but was also a splendid cultivation method that could absorb a variety of energies and either convert them into sustenance for his body or into his own True Energy.He absorbed the aggressive energy around him and refined it into pure energy of his own.James began to focus all his effort into cultivating.One day later…Boom!The True Energy flowed like a raging torrent, surging through his body’s meridians.His energy increased tremendously, and he had a breakthrough. After cultivating for just a day in the Pagoda of Flames, his True Energy increased, and he reached the Sixth Layer of the Herculean rank.“I
After a long time, he finally reached the Immortal Ascension.His True Energy had also been refined and improved exponentially, now becoming True Essence.There was a world of difference between True Energy and True Essence.This great leap in difference was akin to comparing an ember to an inferno.After entering the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair, James did not relax for a moment and continued cultivating since he still had a lot of time to spare.He sat in a lotus position on the ground and activated the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi once more. Powerful energy entered through his pores and was refined into True Essence. James’ True Essence continued to grow day by day.After he reached the Immortal Ascension, he would require tremendous amounts of energy to have another breakthrough.This time, he cultivated for three whole months before finally getting close enough to step into the next stair. However, he chose not to and condensed his True Essence for another month until it
Surprised, James asked, “What exactly is that?”Sophie continued to observe Quintina.She looked at the mysterious scripts around Quintina’s body. The scripts were composed of True Energy and were constantly morphing.“If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably an unknown power. She must have some kind of inexplicable ability.”James was puzzled.Sophie explained, “She’s a Grand Supernatural and was born with a Supernatural Power. Every Grand Supernatural’s Supernatural Power is unique. The Inscription of the Way must’ve been engraved within her when she was born. Although she still can’t understand their meaning, it can still give her great power.”After Sophie’s explanation, James felt like he was able to understand better.At that moment, Quintina sensed someone was watching her, and she stopped cultivating. She looked at James standing before her, and her brows furrowed slightly. She said, “Why’re you staring at me instead of cultivating?”James returned to his senses and replied w
James was puzzled. ‘Why does Farley want to see me now?’He was not the only person confused by the situation, Quintina was as well.She knew her father’s character. He had never bothered with the Ancient Realm’s affairs. Even powerful prodigies could not catch his eye, but somehow, he favored James.Moreover, he had requested to see James in person.James said, “Lead the way.”“This way, please.” Quintina beckoned him. James turned to Yoan and said, “Sir, I’ll go and come back quickly.”Yoan nodded and said, “Alright, go on.”Afterward, Quintina led James to Mount Trinvard. They went to Farley’s seclusion sanctuary located in the back mountain.“Father, I’ve brought James,” Quintina said respectfully to Farley.Farley gently waved his hand and said, “Alright. You may leave first.”Quintina was perplexed. She did not know what Farley wanted to speak to James about, but she did not ask any questions. After casting a glance at James, she turned to leave.Farley sat in a lotu
“Huff!” Quintina heaved a sigh in relief. She turned to James and scolded him, “Do you have a death wish? Why would you joke about something like that?”James said with a playful smile, “What if I say it’s true, but I turned your father down?” “...” Quintina was stunned.She felt that James was not lying since her father had mentioned it to her before.“You turned him down? Why would you turn him down?”Quintina stared at James, then scanned herself, saying, “Is it because I’m not pretty enough? Or am I not charming enough? Or is there something about me that isn’t worthy of you?”Although Quintina did not have any feelings for James, she was slightly confused about why James would refuse to marry her.She was the daughter of the Ancient Clan’s leader. Countless suitors had come for her hand in marriage. Many people wanted to marry her and build a relationship with the Ancient Clan.Quintina stared at James and asked for an explanation. “It’s because I’m married.”Think
Soon, James came to the mountain range where ordinary disciples lived.He walked over to Melany's small courtyard house and gently knocked on the door.He knocked for a while, but no one responded. ‘Is she not home?’ James wondered to himself.Then, he leaped over the fence and entered the courtyard.No one was around the courtyard, and the door to her house was shut tight.“Who’s there?” A voice came from inside, and footsteps approached. Soon, the door was swung open.James parted his lips and greeted her, “Melany…”Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Melany’s body was covered in injuries. He could not help asking, “What happened? How did you get hurt?”“It’s you, James! You’re back?”Melany said smilingly, “I’m alright. I’ll be fine after cultivating for some time.”Then, she beckoned James into the house. Her house was very tidy.Melany went and made some tea for James.James looked at Melany’s bruised face and the injuries all over her body. He also no
The Zaydons did not dare to do anything to Melany because she had become a disciple of the Welkin Academy.She would be doomed if she was expelled from the Welkin Academy and lost her status.“Don’t worry. I’m here for you. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.”With a nonchalant expression, James said, “Just because we don’t cause trouble doesn’t mean we’re afraid of trouble.”“Huff,” Melany sighed helplessly.She knew James was determined to avenge her, so it was useless to dissuade him, as she could not convince him no matter what she said.“Let’s set things straight first, James. If the situation gets out of hand, please don’t act tough. I don’t want to drag you down.”“It’ll be fine!” James gave Melany a big grin and pulled her away.As they left the ordinary disciple’s accommodation, James learned about the person who had robbed Melany and the others.His name was Yitzchok Griffin, and he was the younger brother of the United Alliance’s deputy leader.“From wh
Lochan was the United Alliance's Guardian and was a core disciple of the Welkin Academy.He was relatively strong and had reached the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair. He had a very high status in the United Alliance, ranked only below the deputy leader.Dozens of the United Alliance’s members gathered around them.The scene dumbfounded everyone. How could Lochan, the United Alliance’s Guardian, a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair, be knocked away?Moreover, his opponent was a newcomer that had just joined the Welkin Academy less than six months ago.They would have never believed that happened if they had not seen it with their own eyes.Melany was also stunned. She knew James was strong, but only when compared to the new disciples. However, he had been much weaker than the disciples in the Welkin Academy for a long time. She never expected James’ strength to increase so much in under six months.How had he been cultivating?Many people gathered around them,
