James returned to the cave because he feared that something had happened to Xainte in the Malevolent Demon Residence.Seeing that Xainte was safe and sound, his heart was put at ease.Judging from the current situation, those who had entered the Malevolent Demon Residence were fine. They all had the ability to leave but were unwilling to.All of them wanted to go deeper into the cave and obtain the inheritance of the Malevolent Demon.After James confirmed Xainte’s well-being, he continued to observe the patterns on the stone wall.The patterns were messy and jumbled, and there was a missing piece in the middle of it. The stone wall before them was evidently some sort of puzzle.James murmured, “Do we need to rearrange the patterns to pass through?”Afterward, he walked toward Xainte and asked, “What do you think? Does it remind you of anything?”Many people were standing beside Xainte, including Yikron and Jules who had fought Xainte earlier. Those that were in Xainte’s close
“Haha.”Nova chuckled and said, “A Grand Emperor that’s achieved as much as Emperor Jabari won’t be killed that easily. It’s not easy for him to die completely. Even the Heavenly Path couldn’t completely dispose of Emperor Jabari.”“Wait, is Emperor Jabari still alive?” asked James.James stood motionless in place while his Primordial Spirit entered the Celestial Abode.His Primordial Spirit materialized his appearance as he stood in front of Nova. James asked, “Do you mean Emperor Jabari is still alive?”Nova thought for a while and replied, “He’s dead.”“He’s dead? But you just said…”James was bewildered by the conversation.Nova explained, “Emperor Jabari is indeed dead. His body was destroyed during the Primordial Age, and his soul was severely injured. As such, he disappeared from this world.”James knew very little about Emperor Jabari.All he knew was that Emperor Jabari was a figure from the Primordial Age. Before the demons attacked the universe, he was a famous pow
James never expected Emperor Jabari’s remaining soul to fuse with the Celestial Abode.He had possessed the Celestial Abode for a long time but was unaware of this fact.Nova said, “I’m the only one in the universe who knows about it. Even Sophie, who resided in the Celestial Abode for a long time, had no idea that Emperor Jabari’s soul fused with the Celestial Abode.”James fell into thought. After a while, he asked, “How is Emperor Jabari doing now?”Nova replied, “How do I put this…? Emperor Jabari is indeed dead, but a small fraction of his soul remains in the Celestial Abode. As long as some fragment of his soul still exists, he will be resurrected sooner or later. Emperor Jabari had already recovered some power initially. However, Sophie came into contact with the Heavenly Path’s restrictions while trying to help you, and the remnant of Emperor Jabari’s soul appeared to deflect the Heavenly Path’s lethal blow.”“Huh?”James was surprised by the information.He did not expe
“Precisely.” James nodded.“You should head back outside first,” said Jabari.James did not spend another second within the Celestial Abode, and his Primordial Spirit quickly returned to his physical body.At that moment, Jabari observed the patterns carved on the stone wall of the Celestial Abode. In the past, he traveled the universe and had explored many perlious locales. Therefore, he had a lot of knowledge about the Primeval Age and the Ancient Heavenly Court Age.After observing the stone wall for a while, Jabari finally identified several clues.“James, this is the pattern of a Sacred Blossom.”“Sacred Blossom?”James was startled.He had heard of Sacred Blossoms before.They were mysterious existences that took an epoch, more precisely, 4.9 billion years, to flower and wither.Jabari explained, “It’s an image of a Sacred Blossom, but it’s been jumbled up. It’s a formation and you’ll have to rearrange it to form the complete image to deactivate the formation.“Unfortu
Most of them shared similar opinions about James.James was merely a cultivator at the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage. What would he know about Sacred Blossoms?Even if he happened to know about them, it was most likely from reading records of them in ancient books.How could a cultivator with such a low rank recognize that the patterns on the stone formed a Sacred Blossom?To top that, so many powerhouses were present, yet none of them was able to figure it out.“A Sacred Blossom? It’s best to stay quiet if you don’t understand anything. Do you even know what Sacred Blossoms are?” At that moment, a man walked out of the crowd. He had a human appearance but had a pair of black wings on his back.His nose was slightly pointed, which was somewhat unusual.The bird-looking man had been observing Xainte for a long time but could not find a chance to strike up a conversation. He seized his chance and walked over to her.With the demeanor of a gentleman, he introduced himself, “Hello, Xai
At that moment, a group of people walked over from a distance.Everyone present was shocked by their appearance and froze and regarded the approaching group with respect.Someone murmured softly, “I-It’s the Martial Reverend.”James looked into the distance. The group approached hastily and quickly arrived at the stone wall.Xainte stepped forward, looked at the man in the lead, and greeted him respectfully, “Sect Leader.”The person leading the group was none other than the Martial Reverend.He went to the Malevolent Demon Residence in the depths of the Great Wilderness and brought some powerhouses.Along the way, he did not encounter any monsters or sense any traces of the Malevolent Demon. So, he advanced into the deepest part of the Malevolent Demon Residence without a second thought.The Martial Reverend nodded lightly and began observing the stone wall before him.Seeing him scrutinize the stone wall, everyone remained silent and waited with bated breath for his opinion.
Emperor Jabari was very confident. Although he currently existed as a fragment of his original soul, he still did not consider Grand Emperors a threat.James was relieved to hear Emperor Jabari’s remark.He asked, “Could you teach me how to solve the formation? This place has something to do with my wife, and I’m trying to get past this stone wall to find her.”“Sure.”James heaved a sigh of relief.He looked at the group of powerhouses led by the Martial Reverend and said, “I can decipher it.”The area immediately fell silent upon hearing his words.Everyone stared at James.Yikron thought he had misheard and walked over to James in disbelief. He asked, “What did you just say? Did you say you can decipher the formation?”James nodded slowly in response.“Ha!” Yikron sneered.“Who do you think you are? Even the Martial Reverend isn’t capable of breaking through this formation, but you think you can?”James glanced at Yikron in annoyance.He had never antagonized Yikron, ye
The potent energy immediately drew everyone’s attention.“T-That’s some powerful energy.”“I-It’s the energy of an Emperor!”“Could he be a Grand Emperor that was hiding his true strength?”After sensing the energy around James, many of them gasped in astonishment.Yikron’s jaw dropped, and he was the most flabbergasted among them.He could not believe how high James’ energy skyrocketed in that short moment.Even Xainte, who knew James’ situation, was slightly taken aback. Shocked, she thought to herself, ‘H-How does he have such impressive energy? Was he hiding his true strength all this time?’Everyone was shocked by James.Meanwhile, Emperor Jabari communicated with James from within the Celestial Abode.He began instructing James to rearrange the engraved stone pieces.Hearing Emperor Jabari’s instructions, James leaped into the air and moved a stone piece. As he pushed the stone piece, a powerful force exuded from the spot.It was the power of a cultivation path.Sinc
