“Yes, of course! Right away!”Yalerad did not dare refuse Henrik’s orders.Immediately, a light glowed from his palm, and a small bottle appeared. It was a transparent bottle with a golden pill inside.It was relatively small and only about the size of a thumb.Yalerad carefully took out the pill and respectfully handed it to James. “This is the divine pill my ancestor left behind. A person below the Sage Rank can increase their cultivation by a sub-rank after consuming it.”James took the divine pill with satisfaction. It had slight warmth to it and released a pleasant fragrance. He could sense the extraordinary power within the divine pill.He did not immediately consume it but instead, put it away. After Yalerad handed over the divine pill, he looked at James eagerly.James knew what he wanted and immediately said, “I’ll examine your injuries first.”“Alright!” Yalerad brimmed with anticipation.James began to examine Yalerad’s injuries.The examination concluded quickly
James inserted the second and third needle.…He kept inserting the needles until the last of the 81 needles were stuck in his body.However, Crucifier alone was not enough to cure Yalerad. Although Crucifier was remarkable, Yalerad was injured by the Heavenly Tribulation. Treating his injuries required another step, which was to infuse him with True Essence.James mobilized his True Essence and channeled it through the 81 needles. Crucifier’s miraculous powers were stimulated and immediately permeated throughout Yalerad’s body, healing his severe injuries.The entire treatment process lasted half an hour.After that, James pulled out the needles.Yalerad was shocked by the treatment’s effectiveness and exclaimed, “A-Amazing! I never expected such a great treasure to still exist in this world. After the treatment, my body’s injuries are completely healed.”Henrik also gave James a thumbs up and commended him, “You’re very skilled, Mr. Caden. I got to witness you using Crucifier
Henrik’s behavior was bizarre.James had never met a person like him before and was just getting increasingly puzzled by him. ‘What exactly does he want?’However, he held back from asking any more questions, seeing that Henrik was unwilling to explain further.So, James changed the subject and asked, “Then tell me, where shall we go next?”Henrik’s chubby face immediately lit up as he said excitedly, “Obviously, we’ll pay a visit to the Labhrann Clan!“Huh?” James glanced at him and asked, “What’s the Labhrann Clan? Why should we go there?”Henrik smiled and said, “I’m guessing you probably don’t know, Mr. Caden. Well, the Labhrann Clan is among the most famous clans in the Demon Realm. They don’t only have members in the Mortal Dimension. Their people are also scattered around the Sage and Divine Dimensions. To put it simply, the Labhrann Clan is only surpassed by the Azurean Clan and Hadean Clan.“A Labhrann Clan girl named Brielle Labhrann was born in the Mortal Dimension. S
James sought confirmation from Sophie who was listening in from the Celestial Abode.“Is this true, Ms. Sophie?”Sophie had been watching James all the while and knew who he met with along the way. She replied to him, “It should be true.”“What do you mean by that?”Sophie replied, “From my understanding, a Sacred Tree like that did exist in this universe. One of its fruits is capable of making one enter the Divine Rank. However, many powerhouses scrambled to obtain it because of its amazing properties. Ultimately, mentions of it disappeared in history.”“This sketchy cultivator has an extraordinary background. What he’s saying is most likely true. The bodhi tree could possibly be a portion of the Sacred Tree.”“Is that so?”James rubbed his chin and fell into thought.Putting aside the fact that the combined treasure could boost one to the Divine Rank, the fruit’s ability to allow one to reach the Sage Rank was enough to entice James. As long as he could acquire it, he would s
They ran into each other a number of times during the Primordial Age?James was stunned by her reply.What kind of era even was the Primordial Age?It was an era where great numbers of skilled savants roamed the universe. During that period, there were many Grand Emperors. From what James remembered alone, there was Emperor Jabari, the Ten Emperors, and a few Demon Emperors.Was this chubby man from the Primordial Age?Moreover, what did Sophie’s question mean? Why did she ask if he was from this time period or another time?Could this man have time traveled from the Primordial Age?Things were getting more and more convoluted.Henrik pulled Sophie aside, and the two exchanged a few words in hushed tones.James wanted to listen to their conversation but could not hear a thing. Even though he tried his best to eavesdrop, his efforts were to no avail.The two chatted for about five minutes.Eventually, their conversation came to a close. Sophie walked over and looked at James.
“I’m already married and I’m not interested in Brielle,” James said offhandedly.“Do you know what kind of woman Brielle is? The reason I want to bring you there isn’t just because of the bodhi tree. I mainly want you to meet her yourself.”“Huh?” James looked at Henrik.Henrik explained, “Brielle is the first person to become an Emperor in this era.”After speaking, Henrik was overcome with a wisp of nostalgia. After a while, he said, “Brielle will be the first person to reach the Emperor Rank and is on track to becoming an unrivaled empress.”“Is she that strong?” James was slightly surprised.He knew many other prodigies on Earth, including Marcello, Nyasia from Jodon, and Willibald. All of them were extraordinary powerhouses.James would not be surprised if they eventually became Grand Emperors.Yet, Henrik was claiming this Brielle would become the first of their era to reach Emperor Rank in the future?James found this all incredulous.Not to mention, how would Henrik k
The airship traveled at full speed. About ten days later, they arrived at the outer perimeter of a city.The city was somewhat similar to some of the ancient cities on Earth. It had high city walls and buildings reminiscent of ancient castles.There was a huge word engraved on the city gate—Labhstead.The airship landed outside the city.James and Henrik alighted the airship and stood on the ancient-looking road outside the city. James looked at the city ahead in awe.The city was huge and consisted of numerous castles, each of them a thousand meters high. In the city center, there was a mountain range.Henrik introduced the city. “Mr. Caden, this is Labhstead, where the Labhrann Clan is located. It’s one of the Mortal Dimension's greatest and most famous cities. The mountain range in the central region is the Labhrann Clan’s base, Mount Lutheran.”James nodded lightly. “I see.”Henrik spoke again, “It’s rumoured that the Labhrann Clan’s members are actually a type of primordia
James stopped cultivating and looked at Henrik, who had rushed into the room. He asked, “Has the competition to win Brielle’s hand in marriage begun?”“No, it’s not going to happen so soon. The competition will only start when the bodhi fruit matures. There is still about a month before that happens. However, Brielle has come down from Mount Lutheran and is currently residing in Labhint Tower.”“Labhint Tower?” James was puzzled.Henrik explained, “Labhint Tower is a restaurant with a total of nine floors. However, the restaurant has been renovated, and a formation has been set up. As long as we can climb to the ninth floor, we can dine with Brielle.”“Alright. Let’s go have a look.”James’ curiosity was also piqued.He wanted to see what the Mortal Dimension’s Sweetheart looked like.James left the inn with Henrik at the lead and soon arrived at the restaurant.Outside the restaurant was a large field.At that moment, there was a huge crowd gathered there.There were tens of
