The Oscars were one of the most influential families in Elixir City. Even if the Elixir Pavilion’s Master were to visit them, they would not put so much effort into welcoming him.Meanwhile, the entire city continued to discuss James.“Did you see the powerful cultivator that defeated Kai with just a wave of his hand? He even shattered Kai’s Path Seal.”“I saw him!”“He’s young but so strong! With just a wave of the hand, he summoned countless Paths.”“What’s his origin?”“I’ve no idea.”Regardless of rank, all the cultivators within Elixir City were discussing James, trying to figure out his origin.Meanwhile, James left Sky City with Jules and headed toward Elixir City. Monica also accompanied them.As soon as they left Sky City and arrived on a mountain path, a gorgeous woman immediately approached them.The woman wore a white dress and had an alchemist badge on her chest. She was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament.“James?”Seeing James’ party approaching, she
Jules was thrilled.James was an unrivaled powerhouse. If Yuina and James became a couple, he would become related to James. In the future, no one would dare to touch him.“Mr. Caden, this way, please.”Jules gestured to James with a smile.James did not say anything much about the situation.The three departed and soon arrived in Elixir City.Countless powerhouses were gathered in Elixir City. James’ appearance immediately caused a sensation.Despite the streets being full of people, they consciously made way for him.“It’s him!”“The man beside the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master is the one who defeated Kai!”“Is he really that strong? I can’t tell since his energy is so weak.”“What do you know? He must be staying low-key because he’s humble.”Constant discussions surrounded James.Hearing their conversations, James was troubled. He did not expect Emperor Jabari’s casual interference to have caused such a huge commotion. Now, it would be hard for him to keep a low profil
The Oscars’ core members at the gate immediately dispersed.“This way, please.”Yulia invited James into the mansion.James walked into the Oscar Residence.He sat down inside the reception hall of the Oscar Residence. Various kinds of Empyrean fruits containing abundant energy were placed on the table in front of him. Even Monica could not help but drool upon seeing them and thought, ‘This is too extravagant!’James also gave in to the temptation and picked up a translucent fruit to munch. After a bite, energy emerged from the fruit’s juices and spread throughout his body.His body’s pores immediately opened, and mysterious energy emerged from them. James felt as if he was about to ascend into the sky.“Amazing.”He could not help but praise the fruit.Meanwhile, Yulia had a strange expression as she watched him eat the fruit.To her, these fruits were just decoration. Powerhouses were not interested in these kinds of Empyrean fruits. However, James seemed to like them.
Benedict was the head of the Oscars.He was usually very low-key and did not wander outside.Benedict entrusted the Oscars’ affairs to Yulia.Yulia had outstanding abilities and managed the family’s affairs very well. Moreover, she had befriended various influential people.Benedict had acquiesced to most of her actions and decisions.He also agreed to host James at their residence today.Although he knew about it, he did not show up. From his perspective, he was also a powerful person, and he did not need to befriend other powerhouses.Thus, he continued with his seclusion.Tap, tap, tap.Footsteps resounded.Yulia showed up at Benedict’s seclusion sanctuary in her red dress. She looked at the man sitting in a lotus position on the ground and said respectfully, “Father.”Benedict slightly opened his eyes and looked at Yulia. He nodded and asked, “I thought you were holding a feast for someone. Why are you here?”Yulia said, “Father, Mr. Caden claims to be an alchemist and
James was dumbfounded. ‘What exactly is going on?’The Curse Inscriptions calmed down, and James snapped out of the mysterious state.He could no longer sense the Curse Power coming from them when he looked at them again.James fell deep into thought.‘What exactly happened?’ thought James.James knew Jules quite well and knew he could not be a member of the Sanctuary of Darkness. Yet, why did he sense Curse Power from him twice?Jules called out again, “Mr. Caden?”James returned to his senses and said smilingly, “Sorry, I was absorbed in my thoughts for a moment.”Benedict stared at James. He was not convinced the weak-looking man before him could defeat Kai, who was a Fourth Heaven Grand Emperor, in a single blow.He carefully used his Divine Senses.However, he was sure that he was right about James being at the Sage Rank’s Twenty-Fifth Stage.Benedict asked tentatively, “I heard you’re also an alchemist and would like to discuss alchemy with me, Mr. Caden?” James re
James and Jules had been traveling together for a while.However, James had never sensed Curse Power on Jules’ before. It was only recently that he sensed Curse Power twice from Jules.There was definitely something wrong.James had a feeling the Sanctuary of Darkness had already infiltrated the Elixir Pavilion and was about to make a big move.The Elixir Pavilion was about to hold a grand event to recruit disciples. It was also going to be their biggest event in thousands of years. James felt that if he were in the Sanctuary of Darkness’ shoes, he would also choose to cause trouble at a time like this.James returned to his room, sat in a lotus position, and tried to establish a connection with Jimmu.“Jimmu, do you hear me? Jimmu?”After sensing Jimmu’s location, James telepathically called out to him.At that moment, Jimmu was with a few powerhouses from the Sanctuary of Darkness outside the Holy Realm. They had been around the area for some time but could not find a chance
James bid farewell to Emperor Jabari, then went into the Time Chamber.Nico was in seclusion inside the Time Chamber.When James arrived at the Time Chamber, he saw Nico in a lotus position on the ground.Nico’s body emanated multicolored lights, which was a spectacular sight. At the same time, powerful energy also emitted from his body.James knew Nico was refining the Aquacollis.After he succeeded, his blood would go through an enhancement, and his cultivation rank would be raised to the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Stage.However, how long it would take was uncertain.“How long more do you need, Nico?” asked James.The Sanctuary of Darkness was lurking and preparing to attack, making James slightly anxious.James was worried about being unable to defeat the Sanctuary of Darkness with Emperor Jabari in his current state.Nico opened his eyes and looked at James. Then, he replied, “I need about a hundred thousand years.”“One hundred thousand years? That long?” James was sur
James had gifted her the Supernatural Power, Elemental Inversion.She had greatly benefited from it. However, she had a minimal understanding of it. Therefore, she wanted to follow James so that he could guide her.Moreover, it would be great if James could also pass her some other Supernatural Power or Secret Art along the way.After following James around for some time, she felt that James was pretty easy to get along with and was not arrogant because of his strength.James met all her criteria for a partner.She walked toward James and linked arms with him.Monica said smilingly, “Sir, what do you think about starting a romantic relationship with me?”She was a beautiful woman that could mesmerize any man. Even James was slightly tempted by her advancements.However, James only had one woman in his heart.He replied to her solemnly, “What are you doing? Where are your manners? Let go.”Monica reluctantly let go and said, “I’m just joking. Training is boring, and I was just
