The rainbow-colored light descended, and six middle-aged men made their appearance. The leader among them had a commanding presence, a tall stature, and an imposing demeanor. Heptagold aura seemed to envelop him, and he was brimming with an imposing aura.Upon seeing the approaching figure, Severin deduced that the man was likely the peak master of the First Mountain. The first five mountains in the Grandiuno Sect differed from the last four in focus. The Sixth Mountain specialized in alchemy, the Seventh Mountain in swordsmanship, the Eighth Mountain in forging equipment, and the Ninth Mountain in formations. However, the first five mountains were named Heptagold, Hardwood, Clearwater, Wildfire, and Fortearth, corresponding to the five elements gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It likely indicated the dominant energies on each mountain. Heptagold Mountain derived its name from the Sky-Soil Heptagold Sword Energy.Lejeune Limner, the peak master of the Heptagold Mountain, scrutin
"Thank you for your generosity. I'm very thankful for everything," Severin said, bowing to each of the peak masters. He was aware that those gifts were bestowed upon him in an attempt to win him over, given his breakthrough to the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower and his remarkable feat of topping the Alchemy Tower's ranking. Seeing as they had shown such courtesy toward him, Severin felt a sense of obligation and resolved to visit each of the mountains without favoring one of the other.The onlookers could only watch in envy as Severin accepted the gifts gracefully."We can never hope to reach the heights of a prodigy's abilities!""Is this what it means to be a genius? The unsmiling peak master are now grinning from ear to ear in front of Severin!""I'm so jealous. I wish I was as amazing as Severin!""Keep dreaming. Severin is a master alchemist, and he also possesses the Chaotic Constitution! That constitution is a divine constitution!""Shyam and Emery failed to challenge
"Severin?" Riley pondered over that unfamiliar name. Before he went into seclusion and emerged as a paragon, he knew of no one named Severin in the sect, and the core disciples were only limited to five people then. He wondered why another core disciple would be added through the ranks.The servant who responded to Riley earlier noticed the confusion on the latter's face, so he began to explain everything he knew about Severin. He began from Severin's entry into the sect, Shyam's failed attempt at challenging Severin, Emery's subsequent failure to do the same, and Severin's eventual ascent to the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower.As Riley mused over the information, his sun-like eyes betrayed a hint of curiosity toward Severin. "A level five supreme saint who possesses the Chaos Constitution and surpassed Celeste in alchemy?" He paused for a moment and stroked his chin before saying. "How intriguing."Riley had the Nine Yang Body Constitution, and his combat abilities could be lik
After hearing the report from his servant, two gleams of light burst forth from Spencer's eyes. He had entered seclusion a year ago just like Riley, and his aim was to progress from level nine supreme saint to level one paragon, which he had succeeded in doing. However, the landscape within the sect had shifted, and an additional competitor had joined the fray. It was natural for Spencer to feel a little taken aback., but he soon regained his composure.Spencer's muscular physique brimmed with dragon-like tenacity and sun-like energy. He gestured to his servants and said, "I should like to be alone no."Severin's recent rise to fame surprised Spencer, but he made a point not to dwell on it too much. After all, he was a paragon, and it would be hardly fitting for him to show so much concern over a supreme saint.Though Severin was a core disciple just like him, Spencer was only mildly interested in Severin. One had to be a prodigy to become a core disciple, but even then, no two prod
Following the influx of spiritual energy, Severin's energy core seemed to have transformed into what appeared like a sea, with sparkling waves of golden spiritual energy. Sensing the change, Severin's spiritual consciousness immediately directed the spiritual power in his energy core to flow along his meridians, paying special attention to target the unopened ones.A human being had three hundred and sixy-five meridians, and only when supreme saints activated them all of once that they would be able to condense them and form a connection with the power of heaven and earth. That was what enabled one to become a saint. Severin had activated two hundred meridians, so he was already well-versed in the process of refining them.Once a substantial amount of spiritual power entered the meridians in Severin's body, his divine senses channeled a surge of spiritual power to attack the meridians. Soon, he had added another activated meridian to the tally, bringing the number up to two hundred.
Severin assessed his newfound attainment and nodded in satisfaction. In the seven months since he started, he had progressed from the level one supreme saint to level six supreme saint. The progress made was nothing short of astounding.The breakthrough had implications beyond just his growth in attainment. It deepened his understanding of alchemy, and he believed that becoming a seventh-grade alchemist was soon within reach.After becoming a level six supreme saint, Severin chose to take a breather instead of pushing for further progress. It was important to balance work with rest, and thus he emerged from seclusion a day later.Upon exiting, Diane and the other girls promptly came to greet him. The spectacle caused by his breakthrough was still evident, and the spiritual energy that had been drawn from a radius of a hundred miles continued to shroud Pearl Light Isle in mist.When Wuhlricht saw Severin emerge from seclusion, he remarked enviously, "Congratulations on yet another b
Wuhlricht and Felipe was slightly above ordinary in terms of ability, while Samuel and the rest of the former Skyblue Sect elders were just ordinary. Without Severin's pills, they could not have been able to train themselves so quickly.The back-and-forth praising between Severin and Wuhlricht caused Gilda to roll her eyes. She smiled and said, "Jeez, haven't you both had enough? You're flattering each other like little children. Could we at least talk about something else? We don't get to relax with Severin that often," Gilda said with a hint of annoyance.Diane pursed her lips and smile. "We should take it easy and spend time together tonight."Sheila agreed with Diane. "Yeah, Diane is right!"Then, Selene—who was holding Sofia's hand—looked up at Severin and said, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Dad."His daughter's well-behaved demeanor elicited a smile. He went forward and pinched her chubby cheeks before asking softly, "Have you and your mothers been training well?"
Severin's eyes remained solemn in front of the Dragonstand Furnace, and his expression was a little serious too. After more than half a month of rest since his rise to a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist, he finally decided to challenge himself to crafting a seventh-grade pill. The pill Severin chose to refine on that occasion was a seventh-grade low-rank pill called the Cycleflow Pill.As the name suggests, the Cycleflow Pill was a healing pill that restored the spiritual energy and life essence of paragons. Thanks to Severin's status as the sixth core disciple of the sect and his position as the top-ranked person in the Alchemy Tower, many of the peak masters presented gifts to him, and even the elite disciples offered him some items to try and win his favor. As a result, he was able to acquire the herbs needed to refine the Cycleflow Pill."Millennia-old Snowlotus, three-millennia-old Purespirit Fruit..." Severin rattled off the names of various herbs as he placed them into the caul
