Helvius gradually calmed down.James continued, “We shouldn’t alert them. Since we know what Jules is up to, we have ways of dealing with him. He’s observing the Formation, thinking of ways to break them. At the pivotal moment, he would open the Formation and allow passage to the Sanctuary. In that case, we just have to secretly change the Formation.”Silvester nodded and said, “We will have to refrain from acting recklessly. I will come here every day at precisely the same hour to heal your injuries. Once you’ve recovered, we have to find a way to neutralize the spies among our ranks before the Gathering. When the Gathering commences and the Sanctuary attacks, we will annihilate them once and for all.”Silvester and Helvius were in agreement with James’ idea.After the discussion, James turned to leave.For the coming years, James would arrive on time to heal their injuries. With Crucifier’s assiatnce, their injuries recovered rapidly. In just a few short years, they had complete
The guards here had been rotated out. Now, they were absolutely loyal to the Pavilion.“Official Benedict, you have kept the Master waiting. He has instructed that you head straight toward the mountain upon your arrival,” the guard said respectfully.“Mhm.”Wearing a composed expression on his face, Benedict strode forward.Soon, he arrived at the peak of the mountain and saw a wooden house. Two people could be seen there, Helvius and James.Benedict froze and thought to himself, “Why is he here?”After collecting himself, he walked toward Helvius. As he arrived before Helvius, he clasped his fists and greeted him, “Master.”Helvius waved slightly and said, “Have a seat.”Benedict took a seat and glanced at James before looking at Helvius and asking, “Is something the matter, Master?”Helvius’ expression turned grim.“Official Benedict, how long have you joined Pavilion for?”After some contemplation, Benedict said, “I can’t remember. A few Great Eons, I think.”“Indeed, ma
As a Grand Emperor, Benedict’s retaliation would be catastrophic even though his Path Seal was broken. Concerned that this region could be utterly destroyed, Silvester sealed his strength away.Benedict collapsed to the ground. There were cracks all over his body. His face was pale, and there was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. His face was solemn as he asked coldly, “Why?”“Hmph!”Silvester sat down and looked at Benedict who was lying on the ground before saying coldly, “Surely you know the reason.”“A-Aren’t you injured?” Benedict’s face was pale.He never thought that he would be ambushed and that Silvester’s strength had recovered.Helvius stood up and walked toward Benedict. Glancing downward, he said coldly, “Benedict Oscar, we have never mistreated you. Why did you defect to the Sanctuary?”Benedict’s face was dark. He knew that his identity was exposed. As such, he remained silent and simply glared at them.“Didn’t expect this, did you?” Helvius said, “You
“Mhm.”Emperor Jabari nodded.Then, James turned to leave.He headed to the Time Chamber to meet Nuub.As Nuub was a powerful fighter, he needed to borrow his strength to fight against the Sanctuary.The moment James entered the Time Chamber, he sensed an extraordinary power shredding through the air. Even he could not approach the source of the power.Standing in the distance, he asked, “How’s it going, Nuub?” Nuub said, “I’m almost done. I’m close to making a breakthrough. James, help me find a desolate place. I’m about to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation. After overcoming the Emperor Tribulation, I’ll be a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven.”“Mhm.” James nodded.Nuub left his closed-door meditation at that precise moment. Then, James left the Celestial Abode. Borrowing Emperor Jabari’s strength, he left the Elixir Pavilion and headed for the stars. Upon arriving in space, Nuub appeared.At that moment, Nuub was exuding a powerful aura, and he was enveloped in the Path’s p
James thought that he would be considered a powerful figure once he crossed into the Divine Rank. After conversing with Emperor Jabari, he realized that the Divine Rank was considered weak. Even a Grand Emperor at the Ninth Heaven stood no chance against the Heavenly Path, let alone a cultivator at the Divine Rank. Since the Heavenly Path wished to annihilate humankind, James had no choice but to fight against Heaven. He knew that this journey would be a treacherous one. Regardless, he knew he had to soldier on. Next, he concentrated on observing Nuub’s tribulation.An Emperor Tribulation was extremely terrifying. Each lightning tribulation was enough to annihilate a Grand Emperor at a similar rank. However, Nuub was extremely powerful, and he had mastered many terrifying secret Supernatural Arts. Not only that, but his blood had evolved, allowing him to resist the Heavenly Tribulation. Even so, he was in a wretched state after being relentlessly bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulatio
Before the Elixir Gathering’s commencement, he had brought Monica and Yevpraksiya, the subordinate he had taken from the Stardust Realm, into the Celestial Abode, where they would remain for some time.Time passed. In the blink of an eye, the day of the Gathering had arrived.Countless powerful individuals and forces of the Boundless Realm had been invited. At that moment, the Elixir Pavilion was open to all. Under the guidance of the disciples of the Elixir Pavilion, these guests entered the Pavilion and arrived at the main peak. Meanwhile, powerful individuals and alchemists gathered in Elixir City.At that moment, a radiant light glimmered above Sky City. Then, a man appeared in mid-air.It was Helvius Daniela, the current Master of the Elixir Pavilion.“Helvius has appeared!”“Helvius, the current Master of the Pavilion, is a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven.”“Is he the most powerful individual of the Pavilion?”Countless gazes were fixed on Helvius, who was hovering in
The Gathering had begun. Meanwhile, James and the others waited patiently for the Sanctuary to arrive.At the same time, many elixir pharmacies appeared on the main peaks of the Pavilion. Each elixir pharmacy was managed by an Elder of the Pavilion, and they sold all kinds of elixirs. The weakest were Divine Rank Elixirs, and each of them was rare and priceless. There were even Emperor Rank Elixirs being sold at some of the main peaks. The cultivators all began to choose the elixirs they needed.At that moment, a group of mysterious people in black silently appeared outside the Elixir Realm. In the lead was a young man about twenty-five years of age. Wearing a black robe, he was somewhat handsome-looking. However, he was enveloped in a black aura that seemed malicious and malevolent.He was Tamuuz Darkness, the Deputy Master of the Sanctuary. As the core member of the Sanctuary, he was in the loop of all plans in the Sanctuary. Besides that, he possessed immense power and was at the
Wearing a grim expression, Tamuuz said, “Something’s not quite right. Why can’t I contact Benedict? Did something happen?”“No way,” Jadranka said, “Benedict’s extremely powerful. There’s no way something could have happened. He must be worried that he might be exposed, considering that many powerful figures are gathered in the Pavilion now. That’s why he chose not to respond.”Tamuuz said grimly, “Not just Benedict, I can’t contact even a single spy that the Sanctuary has planted in the Pavilion. If I’m not mistaken, the Pavilion must have located the spies that have infiltrated their ranks and subdued them.”“What should we do then?” Jadranka asked, “Should we continue with our plan? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Silvester and Helvius are injured, and the strength of the Pavilion has been severely diminished. If we miss this opportunity, we might find it impossible to annihilate them in the future.”Tamuuz fell into deep thought. After some time, he said, “Let’s not r
