James made a decision after mulling it over for a while. After the Elixir Pavilion’s conference, he would look for Thea to merge Crucifier and Exalter to form the Time Capsule. Then, he would spread the news of his search. After the Elixir Pavilion’s powerhouse guarding the Ancestral God Rank Elixir catches wind of the rumors, he would surely show himself.Seeing James in a daze, Jules asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Caden? Is there something you’re thinking about?”James returned to his senses and said, “N-No, it’s nothing. I just had some things on my mind.”“I see.” Jules nodded and continued to talk about the history of the Elixir Pavilion.Before they knew it, they had arrived in Elixir Pavilion’s capital, Elixir City.Elixir City was the holy land of alchemists.All those gathered in the city were top alchemists of the Boundless Realm.Although Divine Rank alchemists were scarce outside, there were many in this city. If you were to randomly talk to an alchemist on the street,
While Jules was leading James into the city, a woman climbed the stairs behind them.She wore a long purple gown and was dashing up as fast as she could. She eventually appeared at the gate of Sky City.When she arrived outside the city, Jules noticed her and immediately turned around. His face lit up, and he shouted, “Ma’am! Have you come out of seclusion?”The woman was Jadranka.She received an order from the Sanctuary of Darkness’ Master to weaken the Elixir Pavilion’s Old Master, Silvester.Jadranka was a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor. Additionally, she was the teacher of the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master. Jules learned all that he knew from her.She glanced at Jules and nodded slightly. “Yes, I have.”“It’s rare for you to come to Sky City. Coincidentally, I’ve just returned myself. Let me introduce both of you. This is Mr. Caden.”Jules began introducing the two to each other.“Mr. Caden, this is my teacher, Jadranka. She’s the strongest Official in the Elixir Pavilion. S
James wanted to react but could only watch silently as his cultivation rank was indeed low.Monica was offended on James’ behalf and said, “Sir, why aren’t you saying anything?”James looked at her calmly and said, “What should I say? There’s nothing much I can say to defend myself. He’s speaking the truth.”Monica stomped her feet angrily.The Great Elder looked at James, then ignored him. He turned back to Jules, saying, “I see you’ve been messing around outside all this time. Since the conference is about to begin you should quietly remain in Sky City. I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”After speaking, the Great Elder turned to leave.With a flash, he disappeared from their sight.“Mr. Caden… I…”Jules said embarrassedly, “We live in a world where strength is valued above all. However, the energy you exhibit is too weak. You’re formidable so why do you want to stay so inconspicuous?”He could not understand why James was hiding his true strength.
The woman was Jadranka, the greatest Official in the Elixir Pavilion. She was a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven and was at the same cultivation rank as the current Pavilion Master of Elixir Pavilion, Helvius.Jadranka walked in front of Helvius and noticed his worried expression. She could not help but inquire. “What’s on your mind?”The middle-aged man the current Pavilion Master of the Elixir Pavilion. He was the epitome of strength in the Boundless Realm.Helvius murmured, “A storm is brewing.”Jadranka was puzzled by his words and asked, “What do you mean?”Helvius turned to her and asked, “Do you remember the disaster from one hundred Epochs ago?”Hearing this, Jadranka nodded slightly and said, “How could I forget? More than a hundred Epochs ago, when had I just become a Grand Emperor, there was a calamity that devastated all the living beings of our world.”Helvius said, “Correct. The Sanctuary of Darkness was the cause of the disaster. It’s speculated the Sanctuary of
Helvius walked through the crack in the formation and arrived inside Mount Truskie.A simple wooden house was built in the open space on the mountaintop. There were simple tables and chairs placed outside the wooden house.Upon arriving on the mountaintop, Helvius clasped his hands and called out respectfully, “Old Master.”Creak.The wooden door opened, and an old man walked outside.The old man looked quite long-lived. He had a head of white hair along with a white beard.Seeing the old man with white hair, Helvius immediately greeted, “Old Master.”The old man was none other than the founder of the Elixir Pavilion, Silvester.He was supposedly a Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor and was acknowledged as the strongest person in the Boundless Realm. He had the highest cultivation rank among those whose cultivation ranks were also known. Many powerhouses have vanished from the public eye and were no longer remembered by people. “What’s the matter?”Silvester walked out of the wo
When one reached the Divine Rank, an Ousia would form in one’s body.This Ousia would change into a Path Seal upon reaching the Grand Emperor Rank.Silvester was one of the strongest people in the Boundless Realm.He was a Grand Emperor at the Seventh Heaven.However, he did not spend much effort in training his physical body. Thus, his physical strength was much weaker than his cultivation rank. When Helvius attacked at full force, it immediately shattered his Path Seal.Under normal circumstances, the shattering of one’s Path Seal meant immediate death.However, powerful cultivators could use their energy to stabilize and protect their Path Seals from being shattered.Enraged, Silvester also struck Helvius in the chest. His devastating force spread through Helvius’s body and destroyed his Path Seal.Two powerful cultivators were effortlessly incapacitated.After Helvius was wounded, traces of black energy emerged from his body and vanished into the air.Helvius immediately
Helvius quickly left without stopping. Then, he immediately issued an order to set up a formation around the Elixir Pavilion. During this period, no one was allowed to leave.After that, he summoned many of the Elixir Pavilion’s powerful members.The Elixir Pavilion was the most formidable sect in this world. Its core members were all accomplished cultivators, who were either Great Emperors or Quasi-Emperors.Tens of thousands of powerhouses were gathered in the main hall.They were all core members of the Elixir Pavilion.The weakest among them were Quasi-Emperors at the Fifth Tribulation.“What’s the matter, Pavilion Master? Why did you activate the formation so suddenly? Also, why have you summoned all the sect’s strongest out of the blue?”Helvius immediately ordered. “Head to Mount Jakan immediately and detain everyone there.”Everyone was shocked by this order.Mount Jakan was the residence of the Elixir Pavilion’s strongest Officials.During the meeting, Jules asked, “
The Elixir Pavilion had a long history and a stable foundation.Although the Sanctuary of Darkness was a mysterious organization that caused a terrible disaster in the past, the Elixir Pavilion was determined to eliminate them if they appeared.Helvius said, “Also, everything said today is confidential. Don’t let the news spread. Otherwise, it’ll cause panic among the people.”“Understood. We’ll carry out your orders, Pavilion Master.”Helvius gently waved his hand. “Everyone’s dismissed.”The core members began to take their leave. After everyone was gone, Helvius sank into his chair, and his face paled.His Path Seal was damaged. Although he survived, he would eventually die if the damage continued to spread.He went into seclusion without a moment’s thought.Meanwhile, James was unaware of the events happening under the surface.James temporarily stayed in Elixir Pavilon’s manor for many days.The sun shined brightly today. James sat in the courtyard and rested. Meanwhile,
