After James broke the formation around Mount Baidim, the mountain disappeared, and revealed a canyon in the area.White mist shrouded the canyon, and glimpses of mountains and rivers could be seen through the gap.James and his party entered the canyon.After walking through the canyon for about ten minutes, they reached a cliff.Ahead was beautiful scenery.A wide mountain range was connected by a winding river.Primordial Energy was abundant, and the scenery was spectacular.The Divine Cow began sensing the Aquacollis’ location as soon as they reached the cliff. Then, he disappeared the next moment.Right then, Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode.“Keep moving forward, James.”James immediately followed his instructions.Under Emperor Jabari’s guidance, James advanced deep into the Divine Shadow Sect’s ruins. He passed through some mountains, crossed the river to finally enter a barren valley.There were almost no plants inside the valley.A few tiny cra
Moreover, James had the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts created by the Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court.He was satisfied with possessing these signature skills.Therefore, the boons in this area were of no interest to him.James waved his hand and said, “Go ahead. Whatever you find is yours to keep.”Monica replied excitedly, “Thank you, Mr. Caden!”Immediately after, she left and began to search for boons around the area.“I’ll also have a look around, Mr. Caden.”Jules did not stay idle either. After informing James, he also quickly left to search the area for treasure.James sat at the entrance of a hall on the mountain’s peak.Countless years ago, this place used to be the base of a powerful sect. However, it currently lay deserted. Although many of the Divine Shadow Sect’s buildings were still intact, the place was shrouded in silence.James looked at mountains full of Primordial Energy in the distance.He could not help but feel overcome with sorrow.What was immor
Nico had caught up to the airship.He sealed the space within with immense power and imprisoned the airship that was trying to escape through the void.The huge airship was trapped within the starry universe.Nico showed up soon after. He floated in space and looked at the airship before him. With a flick of his hand, a phantom palm appeared and swept toward the airship as it continued to grow in size.Some of the powerhouses on the airship, including the chancellor and elder, quickly acted to withstand the force.A powerful force shot out from the airship and into space.However, the force was completely steamrolled by Nico’s energy.Nico’s palm attack struck the airship and instantly destroyed it.Countless men on the airship died pitifully from the impact.The chancellor and the elder sustained injuries.Although the chancellor was also a Grand Emperor, he was weaker than Nico.Grand Emperors of different sub-ranks were not on equal footing. A difference in sub-rank was a
Jimmu looked at James and said calmly, “If you want to kill me, go ahead.”James frowned at his reply.He immediately activated the black inscriptions in his body, and thousands of them materialized instantly. They thrummed with bizarre power.“Surely you understand what this is right, right?”James patiently replied to him. “I’m sure you know how terrifying Curse Magic is, so I’ll give you one last chance.”The color drained from Jimmu’s face when he saw the mysterious Curse Inscriptions. “How is this possible? You shouldn’t be able to do this! How do you know Curse Magic?” he screamed in alarm.The Curse Inscriptions that James summoned were extraordinary and intricately made.Jimmu had joined the Sanctuary of Darkness to learn Curse Magic but had only obtained one Curse Inscription so far. Although he only possessed one, it was already a challenge for him to understand it because of how profound it was. On the other hand, James could easily summon tens of thousands of Curse
Jimmu immediately panicked upon hearing Nico’s suggestion to kill him.He looked at James and said pleadingly, “No, please don’t kill me. Keep me with you. I might be useful to you in the future. Don’t you want to know more about the Sanctuary of Darkness? I’ll infiltrate the Sanctuary of Darkness as a spy and acquire information for you.”Everyone was afraid of death.Jimmu was a Grand Emperor who took several Epochs to attain this rank. He did not want his life to end so pitifully.Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to die just yet.James looked at Jimmu and pondered briefly.After a small pause, James said, “Let him go.”Nico asked puzzledly, “You’re going to let him go? Are you sure about that, Mr. Caden? Do you really trust him? If we let him back to the Sanctuary of Darkness, we might never even find him again.”Jimmu immediately swore his loyalty. “That won’t happen! I promise! I can swear an oath to you right now!”Then, he immediately took a vow, “I,
James did not ask what kind of boons they had obtained. However, judging from their satisfied expressions, the two acquired quite a few treasures.Jules asked with a bright smile, “Where are you going next, Mr. Caden? It won’t be long until the Elixir Pavilion’s conference to recruit new disciples. Why don’t we head there directly?”He invited James to the Elixir Pavilion once more.James was an unrivaled powerhouse, and if they could bring him in as a judge during the conference, then the Elixir Pavilion would surely benefit from it.“But…”Jules looked at Monica and said, “Before we go to the Elixir Pavilion, I’ll have to pay the World Pavilion a visit to officially make Monica my wife.”Monica’s expression immediately changed.She did not want to marry him.Although he was the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master, she had no intentions of marrying him.However, she had no choice.Her sect had already approved the marriage, and she could not refuse it.After thinking for a while
Jules knew he had no hope of winning Monica’s hand in marriage.As such, he quickly smothered his hopes.“If that’s how its going to go, then forget it. I’ll head to the World Pavilion and take back my betrothal gifts.”The betrothal gifts he had sent to the World Pavilion were invaluable. Since the marriage was not going to happen, he was definitely going to take them back.Even though the Elixir Pavilion was rich and powerful, they would not give such precious things away so easily.Monica said, “I also have to return to the World Pavilion and inform them of my decision to leave the sect.”James nodded. “Alright,then. Let’s go to the World Pavilion.”James gained a lot from this trip to Mount Baidi.He acquired the Mystic Piece that Emperor Jabari needed and recruited a formidable subordinate. With Nico, his future journies would be more smooth-sailing.Nico looked at James and said, “James, would you mind if I go into seclusion for a while? After I enhance my blood, I’ll re
After speaking, Monica immediately kowtowed nine consecutive times.“I vow always to follow you and to never betray you, Sir.”At the sight of Monica’s excessive formality, James felt slightly embarrassed.He had never thought about taking in disciples. Throughout his life, he had only taken one disciple before this. It was when he was in the Seafolks’ territory on Galileo. He gave a Seafolk named Sheldon some guidance, and the man kept addressing him as his teacher.Therefore, technically, Sheldon was also considered one of James’ disciples.Having officially accepted Monica as a disciple, he felt a bit troubled.Following the establishment of a discipleship relationship, a teacher must bestow something unto their disciple.However, Monica was already a Quasi-Emperor. Ordinary things were not going to impress her.James scratched his head pensively.After a while, he asked, “What Path are you cultivating?”Monica replied respectfully, “I practice Elemental Art.”“Elemental
