James looked at her and asked, “Are you also going to the Ancient Heavenly Court’s ruins?”Maxine said, “Of course! How could I miss out on the opportunity?”Thea looked at Maxine.She knew Maxine’s character very well.Maxine called out to Thea sweetly, “Thea.”Thea nodded slightly in response to her greeting.Thea walked over to James, stretched out her hands, and fixed James’ collar. She tenderly reminded him again, “Go on. Please be mindful on your journey. I’ll wait on Earth for your safe return.”James said smilingly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be alright.”After a brief conversation with Thea, James walked toward the South Heaven Door.Many people were gathered at the South Heaven Door, waiting for James.“Are you ready, James?” asked Qusai.James nodded. “Yeah.”Brielle said excitedly, “The Ancient Heavenly Court, the most terrifying existence during the Ancient Heavenly Court Age. They were the dominators of the universe and managed to gain control over the vast universe.
James did not expect Qusai to be familiar with scripts from the Ancient Heavenly Court Age.Qusai looked at the massive stone tablet ahead. After inspecting it for a while, he said, “It’s about the history of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age.”James said, “Let’s hear it.”Qusai nodded and said, “In the early period of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, the universe was in turmoil, and all creatures were in dire straits. The founder of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, took things into his hands and created the Ancient Heavenly Court. Then, they became the most significant force in that age and took control over the universe.“The stone tablet also records the Jade Emperor’s achievements throughout history.“It says he went through eighteen thousand tribulations, each lasting three hundred and thirty years respectively. After that, he became the Ancient Heavenly Court’s Lord.”Qusai briefly went through the stuff recorded on the stone tablet.It was a tablet that recorded
James touched his chin and murmured, “The War God Palace? Is this the palace of the War God of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age? Isn’t that Sophie’s father? So, is this where Sophie lived when she was a child?”Qusai said, “Let’s go and take a look.”The group approached, and James tried to push the gate open.However, the gate did not budge. No matter how much force James used, he could not push it open.“Let me try.” Qusai walked over and tried pushing the gate with all his strength but was to no avail.He said helplessly, “I can’t open it either. There seems to be a formation preventing us from opening the gate and entering.”James asked, “Then, what should we do?”Qusai shrugged and said, “How would I know?”At that moment, Maxine pointed to the statue on the gate and said, “Could this statue be the key to opening the gate? I once heard my teacher say that powerhouses of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age would place statues on their gates. These statues had their own conscious
Door Gods were special existences created by the property’s owner. Just like Nova, they were not real living beings but had their own consciousness.“What’s a War Order?”After the Door God disappeared, James was puzzled.Qusai said, “If I’m not mistaken, the Heavenly Path passed on information to the Door God when he was awakened to pass on to us.”Maxine expressed her opinion, “If that’s the case, the War Order in the War God Palace is the key to ascending up the Thirty-Three Celestial Palace, where the third providence is probably hidden.”James asked, “Then, what’s the Thirty-Three Celestial Palace mentioned?”Qusai explained, “During the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, the Thirty-Three Celestial Palace was a representation of power. It was the accommodation of powerhouses in that age. The stronger one was, the higher one could stay. It was speculated the Jade Emperor lived in the highest level of the Thirty-Three Celestial Palace.”James said, “Then, isn’t that strange? The War
“Watch out!” James yelled.The moment Brielle appeared in the golem formation, the golems immediately attacked her ferociously. Standing in different positions, the golems continuously swung their stone swords, and unrivaled Sword Energy burst forth. Though the golems’ speed was extraordinary, Brielle’s speed was comparable to theirs. James could only see figures darting about.Ten seconds later, a figure flew out.Brielle crashed heavily to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood.Maxine hurriedly rushed over to her and helped her up, asking, “Are you alright?”Brielle wiped the blood trace off her lips and shook her head slightly, saying, “I’m fine. I just never expected the golem formation to be this terrifying. The golems’ sword techniques are impeccable, and there wasn’t an opening at all. I could only last a few seconds.”Everyone else’s expressions turned grim.Qusai looked at James and asked, “James, you possess greater swordsmanship. Did you see an opening anyw
James’ desire to obtain the third providence was low. The third providence was mainly about Leaping out of the Three Realms, Relinquishing the Five Elements, and Attaining an Emperor Physical Body. Once he obtained an Emperor Physical Body, he would be spared of the Three Apocalypses and Nine Tribulations. However, obtaining an Emperor Physical Body did not mean that his body would acquire strength that was equivalent to the Emperor Rank. It was merely a title of sorts. The greatest benefit of all would be that he would be spared of the Three Apocalypses and Nine Tribulations, which were the biggest obstacles on the journey of cultivation. They were the keys to preventing all living beings from achieving breakthroughs, and countless powerful figures had perished by the tribulations. However, there were always two sides to the same coin. Tribulations were able to nurture an individual, thereby allowing them to grow in adversity. “Let’s think of a way,” Brielle said while looking at
He swiftly dodged their attacks and struck back. However, the golems were sturdy. Even with the Imperial Weapon of an Ancestral God in hand, he could not obliterate them. This was not because the Ancestral God’s Imperial Weapon was weak. Rather, it was because James’ rank was still low, and as such, he could not fully utilize the power of the weapon.A fierce battle erupted.The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword in James’ hand clashed with a golem’s sword. Boom!A deafening blast reverberated throughout the area, and shapeless Sword Energy shredded through the air.At that moment, eight swords surrounded him simultaneously and struck his vital points. In the blink of an eye, he dodged the attacks and slashed with the Divine Sword. A wave of Sword Energy appeared, forming a circle shape that blocked the surrounding attacks. James already knew that the golems were positioned based on the Figure of Nine Squares and Eight Trigrams. Even so, breaking through the Formation was nigh impossibl
Qusai was right. James had obtained a providence. The sword techniques performed by the golems were top-notch, which no ordinary person could ever create. The individual who created the sword techniques must have been distinguished.Holding the Divine Sword in his hand, James’ figure flashed, and he charged toward the golem formation once more. Immediately, the golems attacked him ferociously.He had lost track of the number of times he challenged the golems. By now, he could memorize the golems’ attacks by heart. Faced against the golems’ Sword Moves, he was composed as he sought to break them. His understanding of the golems’ sword techniques had reached an unparalleled level. As such, he was able to break the golems’ Sword Moves with ease.He fought for a couple of hours. In the end, seizing an opportunity, he performed a deadly Sword Move at extraordinary speed and broke the golem formation.The golems gradually stopped.Upon seeing this, James was pleased.He walked out of t
