Amist Caroline's surprise, Severin produced a second-grade medium-rank pill with a wave of his palm. "This pill can help you break through to level five warrior king, but that's about it. You won't be able to reach level six with this. Making a breakthrough of two levels in one go isn't easy, after all."Severin then paused briefly before saying, "But the chances are there since this is a second-grade medium-rank pill. Even if you can't reach level six, your attainment will at the very least be at the peak of level five. All you need to do after that is train hard and try to make another breakthrough in the future.""Could you bring us to meet your supervisor if we give you this pill?" Sheila wondered aloud.Caroline gulped. She did not expect Severin to produce a second-grade medium-rank pill, let alone an elite-quality second-grade medium-rank pill! The offer was simply too tempting for her."S-s-sure! It won't be a p-p-problem at all! You've shown so much sincerity that I feel o
"Otto Southamire?" Severin seemed to enter a pensive state when he heard the name. "Has a nice ring to it. Thank you for your help then, Miss Caroline."Caroline nodded with a smile and told Severin where to wait. After walking over and knocking on the door, she went in and closed the door behind her."We should be able to get this done, right? If the junior director is willing to help, then we'll be able to meet the senior director," Felicia remarked with a smile.Sheila, on the other hand, said, "I'm not sure how much authority this junior director has, but we might be able to exchange some spiritual stones with him so we don't need to meet the senior director."Severin thought over that suggestion and said, "Since we're here, we might as well just meet the senior director. I'm curious to know what kind of person they are."Felicia said unhappily, "Won't you have to give him another pill if you do that? It's agonizing to see you give away all these precious pills."Severin smil
Caroline rolled her eyes at Otto. "Do you think I'd bring him to meet you if he didn't do me any favors? You understand what I mean, don't you? You're bound to get benefits if you bring him to meet the senior director.""Benefits?"Otto was surprised to hear that. "What sort of benefit? Money doesn't interest me. I'll probably only consider it if he offers me some fourth-grade spiritual herbs.""Can't you look at the bigger picture? Even though fourth-grade spiritual herbs are great, that's not what he gave me. I was given a pill." Caroline took out the second-grade medium-rank pill with a flip of her palm. "See this? This is a second-grade medium-rank pill. Is this good enough for you? Is it valuable enough for you?"Otto gulped when he saw that it was a second-grade medium-rank pill. "It's an elite-quality pill too! Tsk, tsk… he must be a second-grade high-rank alchemist then. Hurry up and let him in!"He was getting a little excited after realizing that he would be on the verge
After Otto finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea while his legs were crossed. It was a clear demonstration of superiority.To butter Severin up, he smiled and said, "I'll be frank, Mister Severin. I'll let you exchange your spiritual stones to the maximum limit that I am authorized to make. Will ten million be enough?"However, he was caught by surprise when Severin smiled. "And if I want to exchange a few hundred million or more than a billion high-grade spiritual stones? That would require me to go to the senior director, right?"Otto choked on his tea and spurted out a mouthful. He put down the teacup and said to Severin in surprise, "You're kidding, right? Why would you want to exchange that many high-grade spiritual stones? What are planning to do with them?"Severin shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "For the auction, of course. What else will I use them for?""This amount will be under the senior director's discretion, although I do feel as i
Severin gladly exchanged contact information with Otto."Right then, Mister Severin! I'll bring you to meet our director right away," Otto said to Severin after putting away the pill."Thank you for your trouble then, Otto. I consider you a bro from now on," Severin replied."Of course, of course! Haha! By the way, you've come a long way, so you should spend a couple more days to see the sights and enjoy the rest of the city!" Otto was all smiles as he led Severin out of his house.At the same time, he was secretly feeling happy because there were two junior directors in the city, and his competitor was an old man. If the senior director was transferred somewhere else, then the next senior director would be chosen between the two of them.Both junior directors had almost the same attainment, and they were both veterans as well. If either of them wanted to get the upper hand, then the best way to do so was to be the first to make a breakthrough. Unfortunately, it was never easy for
Elsa had just completed her training. She was about to take a rest when someone knocked on her door. She expanded the range of her mental power to cover the yard area, and she could perceive everything."Why is Otto here with so many people?" Elsa frequently trained her mental power, which was much stronger than ordinary people ever since she was still young. As a result, he saw the situation outside in an instant.Severin felt a wave of energy and glanced over in surprise. He obviously did not expect that the senior director would have such powerful mental power.When Otto knocked on the door, Elsa walked to her seat and sat down, feigning indifference. "Come on in."Otto walked in and closed the door. He did not notice that Elsa had earlier used her mental power to look at them. He smiled at her and said, "I have someone here who wants to exchange spiritual stones with you, Miss Elsa. His name is Severin, is he's the South County's governor."Elsa smiled. "Don't you have the au
After a while, Otto brought them all to meet Elsa and did some introductions before leaving them alone."I didn't expect the senior director to be so young and beautiful. To be honest, I was a little skeptical when Otto mentioned that you were a young, beautiful woman." Severin could not help his surprise when he laid eyes on her. Elsa was beautiful—her skin was fair and her face was uniquely charismatic. The skirt she wore was slightly on the shorter end, which revealed a part of her thighs and made her look very youthful."Please have a seat, Mister Severin!" Elsa invited everyone to sit down. "I won't exchange any additional spiritual stones for you simply because you've flattered me. We have strict standards in terms of exchanging spiritual stones with other items. Even if you and I have a good relationship, I am bound to carry out my duty according to the rules of our auction house."A person like Elsa could be said to have a lot of influence in Oolong City. Naturally, that wou
Elsa frowned and let out a chuckle when she heard that. "Of course. An alchemist like you should know better that there are different qualities even for a second-grade high-rank pill. The results of using different quality pills are different, and so is the energy."Elsa then began to yearn a bit more. "When I finally resign from this position, I'll ask a good alchemist to become my master and work hard under them to become an alchemist."Sheila covered her mouth and chuckled with a smile, "You can consider learning under Severin, Miss Elsa. No one in Dracodom can come close to his proficiency in alchemy. You're looking at the most powerful alchemist in the whole nation!"Severin was stunned to hear what Sheila said. He glared at her and said, "This isn't the time for that, Sheila. We're talking about serious business here."Sheila frowned. "But I was being serious! You already have a handsome apprentice, so why not have a beautiful one too?""Sheila's right. Didn't you just say t
At that instant, Infernatur and Damnatur felt a sudden chill, as if an impending doom loomed on the horizon.Severin then said softly to them, "I'm gonna need you as a helping hand!"Infernatur and Damnatur recoiled as a horrifying realization dawned upon them."Have you taken that leap?" Infernatur's voice trembled with uncertainty.Severin remained silent and simply waved his hand gently. The 129,600 cosmic laws surged with boundless power, reducing the huge figures of Infernatur and Damnatur to dust.Within moments, two essences of pure primordial power flowed into Severin's inner world, while the desolate chaos sea crumbled and was consumed by his voracious appetite.Severin's form eventually began to fade until it became a flicker of light that vanished completely. His consciousness had been devoured entirely.Everything before him was empty and devoid of substance.An indefinite amount of time passed before Severin's voice echoed through the emptiness, "Chaos springs from
With a deft stroke of the bronze halberd, the path hovering above Severin shattered."This is a peculiar weapon," Severin recoiled in alarm, raising the Oculus Blade to defend himself "It has the ability to dismantle the great path!"Simultaneously, he utilized his space-time path to shield against potential assaults, especially any sneak attacks.Explosions reverberated, unleashing torrents of elemental energy and spatial turbulence throughout the chaotic sea. Time passed indeterminately amidst the chaos.For centuries, the trio engaged in combat, their auras undiminished by time's passage.Meanwhile, the four Dominus Nosters in the Celestial Realm waged war against the extraterrestrial intruders, reclaiming territories with unparalleled ferocity.Under the leadership of figures like Callide, the extraterrestrials were simply no match for them.The Southern, Western, and Devil Regions were reclaimed quickly, yet everyone from the Celestial Realm remained vigilant, for war conti
Outside the Heaven Palace, the few who had been appointed Dominus Noster along with a cohort of quasi-royal celestials were faced with the grim reality at hand.Clad in resplendent hues, Callide—who was their leader and carried the title Dominus Noster Arcanum—donned celestial attire woven from stars and the galaxy. With a regal bearing, she commanded from atop a cloud, "Follow me, my brethren! We shall vanquish the extraterrestrials in the Devil Realm!""At your command, Dominus Noster Arcanum!""Yes, Dominus Noster Arcanum!"With their resounding battle cries, streams of light surged across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, converging upon the territories occupied by the extraterrestrials—they were the Devil Region, Southern Region, and the Western Region.Amidst the vibrant rainbow, a towering figure emerged, blotting out the sky and earth. Everyone recognized that figure as Severin, and knew that the battle against the quasi-celestial regents would soon begin.Adrian, who was alrea
Armin then spoke with a calm authority, "You cannot remain in this time and space, for you are from the future. It is time you return."As he uttered these words, Severin sensed an invisible force pushing against him and urging him to depart.Standing upon the river of time, he overlooked the tumult of the quasi-celestial regent conflict looming below. He mumbled Armin's counsel, "By receiving nourishment, shattering constraints, tearing open chaos, and reaching the other side…" As Severin pondered over those revelations for an indefinite amount of time, clarity dawned upon him like the sudden rising sun. "So that's the way!"By the time he snapped to his senses, he discovered that his primal spirit had traversed countless epochs in the river of time. "Did I spend that long in the river of time?" he asked himself. Fortunately, the duration he spent in the river of time was but a fleeting moment in the real world.Severin's resolve solidified. Though his brief discourse with Armin,
Severin could sense the mental connection between himself and the weapon, almost as if it was an extension of himself. Severin then raised his gaze to the celestial expanse beyond."I'm almost on Armin's level now that I've made a breakthrough to the rank of quasi-celestial sovereign. However, facing the extraterrestrials' quasi-celestial regents isn't going to be easy meat for me," he mused aloud.Armin was once the sovereign architect of the Imperial Court and the ruler of the Celestial Realm, yet even he found himself at the mercy of the attack of Heaven's Will. Even a mighty quasi-celestial sovereign was reduced to naught but dust.Severin felt the weight of the responsibility settle upon him. Confronting the two quasi-celestial regents would require him to transcend to the realm of celestial sovereign—a realm of which he had scant knowledge of.He understood the concept of the celestial sovereign only in the context of attaining liberation through enlightenment via the 3,000 p
In the vast expanse of the chaotic sea, occasional gusts of strong wind whipped up the formidable chaotic energy. A single whirlpool could claim the life of even a true immortal.Amidst that tumult, two colossal figures lay prone within the abyss. They emanated an aura of unparalleled power, commanding even the paths to heed their authority. The turbid breath exhaled in their slumber had the capacity to tear the fabric of the chaotic void, unveiling dreamlike cosmic chiliocosms.They were the progenitors of the extraterrestrial race, the alpha and omega of the enigmatic beings. Their names were Infernatur and Damnatur. To the uninitiated, and sometimes even to their own kind, it was widely believed that Infernatur and Damnatur were distinct entities. However, they were but facets of the same being.Infernatur could be deemed the primordial offspring of chaos itself, having borne witness to the most primitive and barbaric epochs of the Bleu Celestial Realm. Being born of chaos, he po
Heaven Palace could now boast four royal celestials, along with nearly 20 quasi-royal celestials and 5,000 true immortals. Those esteemed individuals once served the Longevity Alliance, Clear Wind Sect, Tri Celestial Island, and Ingeni Paradise. While their numbers paled in comparison to the 120,000 true immortals during the ancient Imperial Court's heyday, Severin was confident that he could revive that with time. After all, the new Imperial Court had only just been re-established, and there was still more work to do.Severin then addressed the assembly, "As you continue raising your attainment, you shall have to anticipate the looming threat of conflict with the extraterrestrials. Now that you have are bestowed with titles as the custodians of heaven and earth, it is our solemn duty to reciprocate the blessings bestowed upon us.""Yes, we shall!" echoed the resolute affirmation from the gathered immortals.Having concluded his address, Severin went to speak briefly with Diane and
In the Heaven Palace, Callide sensed that the aura emanating from Severin was simultaneously as vast the sky and ocean but as indiscernible as that of a mortal. Tremors of terror gripped her, as she knew that he had far surpassed the realm of a cultivator who had attained the perfect-stage royal celestial. It was no exaggeration to say that Severin could obliterate a royal celestial with a mere thought.Balke, Libra, and Creatia shared Callide's apprehension. To them, Severin embodied the very essence of the path—intangible, silent, abstruse, incomprehensible, and undetectable.As the imperial robe adorned Severin, Balke and the others bowed in reverence. "Long live the Celestial Sovereign!" they chanted in unison.A subtle wave of fortune floated toward the heavenly heart imprint as Severin acknowledged their worship with a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and lifted them effortlessly with an unseen force.With a thunderous voice that resonated in their ears, Severin proclaimed
The true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even the eminent royal celestials held their breath. Everyone observed in silence as Severin wielded the heavenly heart imprint.With each strand of luck infused into the heavenly heart imprint, Severin sensed his dominion over the Bleu Celestial Realm becoming stronger. He had the feeling that he could reshape the world with only a single thought.Once the destinies of tens of thousands of races were bound with the heavenly heart imprint, the golden tourmaline quivered violently and radiated an aura that could be felt across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. Acknowledging the momentous occasion, Severin tapped his forehead and directed a fragment of his soul to command the heavenly heart imprint. The 3,000 great paths within him erupted from his being and materialized."Today shall be the day that I, Severin, rebuild the Imperial Court in the Nine Heavens! As wielder of the great path, the world shall be inscribed in me, and I shall embody
