After hearing that, Severin could not decide if he wanted to cry or laugh. It was funny that his father-in-law was already thinking about getting his hand on one fourth-grade alchemical pill when he had not even tried to produce one yet.He replied with a chuckle, "Don't worry. I won't forget you. But one is not enough so I'll prepare at least ten for you! Haha."Birk's eyes widened. He said excitedly, "Really? You better not forget what you said!"His reaction made Sofia roll her eyes at him. "Dad, you are so greedy! Severin hasn't even tried producing it yet. Do you know how hard it is to progress from third-grade high-rank to fourth-grade? It's a huge improvement and many people cannot achieve it their whole lives. I know he is very talented but you shouldn't rush him."Birk smiled embarrassingly. "I wasn't rushing him. I only wanted to book ahead. Anyway, I have confidence in him and I believe he will become a fourth-grade alchemist in no time."Severin chuckled. "Haha. Thank
Severin frowned. "You've known him since you were small? So are you saying he met the requirement to join the sect when he was a child?"Sofia explained, "No. My dad was the one who brought him back. He went treasure hunting somewhere and accidentally saw Meldrick's family killed. So he rescued him. Meldrick was only twelve at that time. Dad felt sorry for him, and he thought Meldrick had the talent. That was why he decided to bring Meldrick back to the sect, and that was why I knew him since I was a child."Elsa felt angry and said, "No way! He's so bad! Your dad saved his life and raised him to where he is now. How could he be so cruel and vicious? Was it really because he wanted to be an elder so badly? He was really an ungrateful person!"Sheila explained, "I don't think that was it. The reason he betrayed was because he loved Sofia. So he was trying to avenge Sofia because Sofia did not love him back."That explained a lot of things for Elsa. This was the first time she knew a
Severin did not think someone would actually call him a hero. He cupped his hands humbly and said, "You're too kind. I don't think I deserve to be called a hero. My father-in-law is the Sect Leader of the Stormy Moon Sect. As his son-in-law, I'm kinda part of a member of the sect too. So of course, I should help the sect when the sect is in trouble.""Haha. Miss Sofia, your husband is so humble. Alright, what do you want to eat? Just order anything you want. The bill is mine today." The pretty lady boss chuckled.However, Severin was not going to let that happen. "No. You're running a business and I shouldn't accept a free meal."The lady boss chuckled. "No! I insist! Due to your alchemical pill, my son is able to move on to the next level. He's now a level four warrior emperor and I'm really grateful to you.""No wonder you have a big smile on your face. Then we shall not reject your kind offer anymore," Severin accepted the offer with a face once he found out the reason behind th
Elsa blushed from cheek to ear. "Sheila! That isn't funny, he is my master!""What if he's your master? No one said you can't fall for your master. Besides, a disciple falling for her master isn't uncommon," said Sheila.Severin glared at Sheila. "Little foodie, start eating and stop talking. Enjoy the delicacy."Sheila shrugged her shoulders and raised her glass. "Cheers everyone! Let's have a great time!"Everyone left and went back after the dinner. By this time, the sky was getting dark.When they returned home, the elders brought along the spiritual herbs. Among the herbs, other than the expected fourth-grade low-rank and medium-rank spiritual herbs, to Severin's surprise, they consisted of a few fourth-grade high-rank spiritual herbs.Obviously, these have been selected and approved to be suitable for producing alchemical pills by the grand-elders.Severin took in the herbs jovially and saw off the grand-elders in an elevated mood. He proceeded to prepare for the productio
Severin nodded and said, "Yes, you're not too bad but there are still quite a lot of problems."Elsa was stunned when she first heard that, but it was just for a second. After that, her eyes lit up, and she was eager to know what the problems were with her alchemy skills. "Really? What kind of problem? Please tell me."Her eagerness to gain more knowledge was a plus point. Severin was certainly happy with that. "You were rushing throughout the whole process. Instead of throwing the spiritual herbs at the right time, you would always throw them ahead. And when you were extracting them, you looked as if you were in a rush. Take your time. Just wait another two or three seconds. If you have better control of the timing, the quality of your alchemical pill will improve.""Oh, really? Maybe I'm very impatient and very nervous too so I didn't notice it. Master, thank you for the advice. I will take note of those pointers." Elsa cupped her hands.After some thinking, Severin said, "Alrigh
That was what Diane said to Severin after she received the pill.It caught Severin by surprise. "Surely I can still go look for you guys at night after the breakthrough, right? I mean you would still need time to stabilize your level so me going to find you girls is not going to affect the training."Diane was speechless. The reason she had said that was because she wanted to have some me time, but she did not know Severin was so good at finding loopholes."Pervert! Is that all you can think of?" Sheila blushed and rolled her eyes at Severin.After thinking for a while, Severin said, "My plan is to stay here and produce more pills before Larry gives me a call. However, I need to go back if he doesn't call me after a month. Surely, they should be able to find some information about Lepus Hall and Simia Hall if those two halls existed before.""Are you afraid those two halls no longer exist or are destroyed by other gangs?" Diane asked because she could tell what Severin was worried
'Surely the quality of this pill is at least of superior-quality,' Severin thought as he observed the pill in his hand while working in his room. He could not help himself and smiled triumphantly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the quality of the alchemical pill.As he stepped out of his room, he was taken aback. There were only three months left from the due date. However, it was not an unproductive time as he had given the Stormy Moon Sect more than two hundred third-grade alchemical pills. Everyone in the sect improved their skills and rank tremendously on a daily basis because of the pills, and the entire sect was overjoyed.In addition, Severin used up most of the second and third-grade spiritual herbs and even some of the fourth-grade low-rank herbs in making the pills. As such, he had stocked up well over three thousand pills. This displayed the amazing speed in his ability to produce the alchemical pills. If words got out, it would likely create an uproar and shock tho
Severin felt so helpless as he could not believe what he just heard. Sheila had no boundary to her mischief.He quickly glanced over at Elsa to make sure she did not feel offended. "Elsa, just ignore what she said. She likes to joke around and she didn't really mean what she said."Elsa was seen blushing all over her face and feeling shy.What Severin said did not stop Sheila at all. She continued to joke, "Of course I'm joking. Or are you really thinking if it's going to happen? Geez, it seems like somebody really does want to see it."Diane and Sofia could not stop laughing so hard that their stomach hurt. While Severin really did not know how to react.Just then, his phone rang."It's Larry!" Severin took out his phone and saw who was calling him.He was thrilled and wondered, 'Could he be calling to tell me about Lepus Hall or Simia Hall?'"There's no point guessing the reason he calls now. Why don't you answer the call and ask him?" Diane smiled. She could tell Severin was
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
