"It's stronger than I expected." Wuhlricht, who was drinking at the edge of the cliff, was left dumbfounded as he sensed the disarray in the spiritual energy around him. He promptly rose to his feet and transmitted a message to everyone in the entire sect. "All disciples, protectors, and elders are to remain in your rooms for the rest of the night. Do not remain outdoors."The great elder was left surprised by the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. A wry smile crossed his face as he said, "I didn't think the fluctuation would be so pronounced."The rest of the sect's members were all puzzled, but none dared to venture outside upon receiving the sect leader's instructions. Even those who were previously enjoying their time outdoors returned swiftly to their rooms."I hope you won't hold this against me, Gilda. I had no other option. Severin is a good man, and this only has to happen once. If your boyfriend truly loves you, he wouldn't mind that you had to go through this," Wuhl
Gilda's emotions were a complete mess. Her rapid improvement in attainment filled her with hope that her attainment had genuinely received a remarkable boost. It would have brought her attainment closer to her fiance's attainment.She used to feel inferior to her fiance, Frederick, because he was a level five royal saint while she was only a level nine saint. His talent and good looks were the source of a deep-seated insecurity, for she feared that other more capable women would take her away from him. She had longed to bridge the gap in their attainment and become a royal saint. That would at least put her on more equal footing with him.Despite all the good that came with it, she was nonetheless afraid that everything was real. She could not ignore the feeling of being violated by a man. The initial twinge of pain that slowly gave way to feelings of enjoyment was simply too distressingly vivid.The following morning, Gilda gradually began to wake up. As she sat on the bed, she cou
"You haven't answered my question, Dad. I know that my attainment has improved, but I want answers to what happened last night. A man entered my room and took my first time." Gilda looked intently at Wuhlricht.Wuhlricht waved his hand, and an invisible force closed the door shut. He walked over and sat next to her as he explained, "You have a rare constitution known as the Ice-Blood Constitution. Those who are unlucky enough to be afflicted with this can never live past the age of thirty. And unfortunately, there's only one way to save you..."After explaining what happened to Gilda, Wuhlricht told her, "Your mother is gone, and you're my only child. I don't want to outlive my child. It pains me to just let you die when I know there's a way of saving you. I hope you can understand my decision.""So, the man you found for me last night was someone with a Sun-Heart Constitution? Was he the one who saved me?" Gilda could not believe what she was hearing. Her eyes were red as she gazed
Boom boom boom!The explosions went on one after another, which had Severin frowning and feeling weird.Many people had gone out, and so did Severin. He flew into the sky and arrived at the peak of a mountain. Other than Wuhricht, many elders and disciples were already there. He nodded at Severin when he saw Severin.Severin, too, nodded back and looked to the front.There, he saw Gilda relentlessly attacking the cliff in front of her as if she were trying to lash out her anger. She did not use spiritual energy in her attack, but the cliff was almost destroyed."My gosh, what's with Gilda? Why is she so angry?" a female disciple asked in baffled."It seems like she has become a level four royal saint. How did that happen? How did she improve so quickly?" a guardian was confused too.Wuhlricht said, "My daughter is no longer sick. It was a full moon last night and there was a weird moment where the spiritual energy in the air became unstable. It continued to enter into Gilda's bo
Wuhlricht went to Gilda's room and asked caringly.Gilda had always been a good girl and respected her father a lot. After thinking for many days, she had come to terms with it and stopped blaming her father. She knew she would do the same thing if she were in her father's position.Gilda smiled and said, "Yes. I'm feeling a lot better. Normally, I'd be unconscious at least half the time during the morning and I also needed to sleep at night. But not anymore. I don't feel sleepy even if I don't sleep. Right now, I'm exactly like a normal person like everyone else."Wuhlricht nodded happily. "That's so good to hear."Gilda smiled bitterly. "Sigh, I really wanted to enter the Paradise Secret Realm. Well, that's gone now since I'm a level four royal saint.""Silly girl. There are other secret realms which you can enter. Your body condition didn't allow you to enter. Even if you wanted to, I'll never allow it. Just think about how dangerous you're going to be if you faint when you're
When Severin arrived, many people were already waiting. Wuhlricht and Gilda were there too. He looked at Gilda to discover she was looking out the door in hopes. It seemed like she really liked Frederick a lot.After a while, the people from the Horizon Sect were escorted over by a disciple."Frederick!" Gilda shouted when she saw him and ran toward him.'He's quite good-looking. Probably as good-looking as me,' Severin thought. From afar, he could smell the perfume on Frederick. However, the perfume had a pungent smell that Severin could not find himself to like."Haha. Gilda! You're looking fabulous and more feminine too!" Frederick complimented her while holding Gilda's hand excitedly.However, what was supposed to be a compliment from Frederick felt like a sexist comment to Gilda. Her smile was less sincere."Frederick, you haven't visited for a long time. Do you miss me?" Gilda asked while she told herself not to overthink about it.Frederick smiled and said, "Of course I d
If Frederick actually married Gilda, he would have to arrange for people to take care of Gilda. Instead of aiding him, she would only give him more trouble. That was what Frederick and his father tried to avoid.Initially, Frederick's father, Marcus Jahn, planned to cancel the engagement when Frederick became a level six royal saint by saying the gap of attainment between Frederick and Gilda was too huge. At that point, Gilda was useless to them regardless of how beautiful she was. They were afraid her sickness would affect her baby in the future. Thus, he definitely would not allow his son to marry Gilda.Albeit, it came as a shock to hear that Gilda had fully recovered. More surprisingly, Gilda managed to become a level four royal saint over the night. Their perspective on Gilda changed. Instead of thinking Gilda was useless, they now thought Gilda was a genius too. Only a woman like her deserved to be with Frederick.Thus, the visit today.Gilda smiled with a nod. "Yes. I have f
After hearing that, Wuhlrict smiled. "Haha. They are in love and are already engaged. So I have no objection to the suggestion as long as Gilda is alright with it.""Gilda, come and have a look at the present we prepared for you. There are many fourth-grade alchemical pills and fifth-grade spiritual herbs."Frederick was very confident Gilda would accept the present and marry him happily, so he passed the spatial ring to her. However, he was stunned to see Gilda hesitate and not as happy as he thought she would be."Frederick, there is something I wish to tell you. If you still like me and are willing to marry me after hearing it, I would be glad to agree with the proposal," Gilda said after giving it a thought.After hearing that, Severin was quite shocked. He knew what Gilda was referring to and knew she wanted to tell Frederick that she was no longer a virgin. He admired her for having the bravery to confess to Frederick."What else do you want to say? Do you think my son is
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
