Consolidation was extremely difficult to attain.James had reached the pinnacle of the first and second stages. His rank had reached the peak of the Sage Rank’s Thirty-third Stage, and he had broke through all obstacles of the Sage Rank. Even his state of mind had approached the Divine Rank. Thus, he was close to Sword Intent. Now, the only thing he needed to do was consolidate the four stages into one and form an Ousia.James sat in a lotus position on a rock. Powerful aura exuded from his body, affecting the entire space around him. Cracks began to appear on the rock.Crack!The rock cracked.At that moment, his pores opened up, and threads of Sword Energy materialized from them. Thousands upon thousands of Sword Energy enveloped him and surrounded him in a circular motion.At that moment, the aura James exuded made him seem like a war god.In his mind, wave after wave of sword techniques and shadows emerged. His state of mind underwent constant fluctuations. As his state of m
The surrounding space continued to explode. Upon seeing this, James was dumbfounded.“This is unbelievable…”Then, as his mind stirred, the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword appeared in his hand. The Divine Sword exuded an immensely terrific power that stimulated the Ousia, which materialized a terrifying power that circulated throughout his body.With the sword in his hand, James believed himself to be invincible.His mind stirred, and countless Sword Intents materialized from the Divine Sword. Like monstrous waves, the Sword Intent destroyed everything in its path. Everything before James turned into rubble, and a mountain was even destroyed by the invincible Sword Energy.A chill ran down James’ spine.Such was the brutality of Sword Intent, which possessed devastating power even in its original form. The Sword Path was a Path of obliteration.James desperately wanted to know how powerful his Sword Path was. His body flashed, and he arrived at an unknown region where an evil spirit c
After cultivating for so long, James had finally reached the Divine Rank. However, he knew that his journey had only just begun. For the rest of his journey, he would have to remain steadfast in whatsoever he does.“Grand Emperor, how long did I spend gathering my Ousia?” James asked.While he was in closed-door meditation, he could not sense the outside world, and as such, did not know how many years had passed.Emperor Jabari’s voice came, “I guess the Elixir Pavilion’s Gathering is about to begin.”Hearing this, James roughly knew how much time had passed.“Since the Elixir Pavilion’s Gathering is just around the corner, I’ll be returning at once,” James murmured.Since the Sanctuary of Darkness wanted to annihilate the Elixir Pavilion, he could not stay by the sidelines. The Sanctuary could be related to the Ancestral God Rank Elixir and was a force that had existed since the Primeval Age.James did not linger for long in the Desolateness Ruins.With the help of Emperor Jab
Though he could not figure this out, his instincts told him that he could not rely on Jules. To meet the Master of the Pavilion, he could only depend on Yuina.“Yes, she’s here.” A disciple spoke and made a welcoming gesture, “Please, come in.”James waved slightly and said, “I won’t be entering the Pavilion. Inform Yuina of my arrival and tell her that I wish to see her. Remember not to tell anyone else of my return, especially Young Master Jules.”“Understood.”The disciples nodded respectfully.Then, James waited outside the Elixir Pavilion.Thirty minutes later, a woman walked in. She was dressed in a pink dress, and she wore a Divine Rank badge on her chest. 1.8 meters in height, her figure was slender, and her appearance was gorgeous.It was Yuina. When she saw James standing outside, she was puzzled.“James,” she called out to him.James walked toward her and grabbed her hand, saying, “We shouldn’t speak here. Let’s go somewhere else…”However, the moment his hand came
James was not exaggerating. If this matter was not properly dealt with, the Elixir Pavilion could be destroyed.Seeing that James was serious, Yuina said, “I can take you to my father. However, I can’t be sure whether he’ll meet you.”“Mhm.”James nodded and said, “That’s fine. I think he’ll meet me.”“Alright, let’s get going then.”Yuina knew how grim the situation was. If what James said was true, this would be extremely terrifying.She brought James to the Elixir Pavilion and entered Sky City. As they arrived at the city gate, a group of people walked toward them. In the lead was none other than Jules, Young Master of the Pavilion.Jules froze when he saw James. Then, he ran toward him and asked delightedly, “When did you return, James? Why didn’t you inform me? I would have prepared a warm welcome.”After he spoke, he walked toward Yuina and whispered, “Serve him well, you understand?”Yuina rolled her eyes and said, “I’m busy. Please get out of my way.”“See you later,
James nodded slightly and said, “Hello, Master.”Helvius looked at James. Upon sensing that his aura was only at the Divine Rank, he could not hide his dismay. However, since he possessed an Imperial Weapon, he must not be an ordinary man.So, he did not leave immediately but asked, “Is something the matter?”Wearing a grim expression, James said, “I have something important to discuss with you.”“Speak,” Helvius said.James asked, “Have you ever heard of the Sanctuary of Darkness?”Helvius froze.Then, he looked James in the eye, wondering why he would mention the Sanctuary at this moment.He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I have.”James said, “The Sanctuary of Darkness is a mysterious organization that cultivates Curse Magic that has existed since the Primeval Age. I have just received accurate information that they will be attacking the Elixir Pavilion during the Elixir Gathering.”Helvius had long known of this.Based on how Jadranka Yevdokiya went to great lengths to a
James only came here to discuss matters with Helvius because he was at his wit’s end. He looked at Helvius and asked, “What do you have in mind?”Helvius shook his head slightly. Though he long knew about the Sanctuary’s conspiracy, he had no way of addressing the threat. He had been in closed-door meditation all these years in an attempt to regain his strength. If he regained his strength, the Sanctuary would no longer pose a threat.Wearing a grim expression, James said, “The Sanctuary is determined to annihilate the Elixir Pavilion this time. To my understanding, the Young Master could have been controlled. Not only that, but Official Benedict Oscar could also be a spy as well.”Stunned, Helvius said, “No way. Benedict has joined the Elixir Pavilion for many Great Eons. How can this be?”James answered him truthfully, “To be honest with you, I’m capable of sensing Curse Power. I can sense Curse Power in both the Young Master and Benedict. I also believe that the Sanctuary must
James was immediately intrigued. Xandros once told him that the powerful figure gardening the Ancestral God Rank Elixir would be able to recognize Crucifier upon being summoned.“You know the Ancestral God Rank Elixir?” James tried asking.Helvius looked at him. At that moment, he could roughly guess James’ identity.He nodded slightly.Then, he reminisced and said slowly, “Due to a great upheaval in the Primeval Age, the Ancestral God of the human race concocted the Ancestral God Rank Elixir and sealed this region away. The Ancestral God handed the elixir to the Elixir Pavilion for safeguarding purposes, stating that a fated one with Crucifier and Exalter in his possession would one day appear to retrieve the elixir many eons later. All this while, the Elixir Pavilion has obeyed the instructions of the Ancestral God.”“However, one day, the Elixir Pavilion was annihilated, and only a handful of members survived. Meanwhile, the Ancestral God Rank Elixir was divided into several po
