When Myles heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up and his face was filled with joy. To be honest, he had thought Severin would turn him down after seeing he went all silent on him.After all, Severin himself was a core disciple. Not only did he have extremely high cultivation talent, but he had also broken through to the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower. Adding to that was the fact that he had given birth to his own swordwill. He was a monster genius cultivator through and through.Myles would not be surprised if Severin was the most powerful out of all six core disciples. Why would someone like him want to work for the lowly Seventh Mountain? Thus, it was understandable for Myles to be ecstatic that Severin was willing to take up the job.After Myles came back to his senses, he stroked his beard with a smile, shook his sleeves, and said to Severin, "Haha, you're too humble, Severin! Even I'm impressed at the heights you've reached in your swordsmanship, so I'm sure you'll be able t
The energy was flowing in the direction of the courtyard where Diane and the girls had been in seclusion. Without another word, Severin immediately extended his divine senses and began to probe into the path where the spiritual energy had disappeared. He soon discovered that a millstone-sized vortex of energy had formed just above where Diane was, and gusts of wind had been produced.In that instant, Severin sensed Diane's spiritual energy growing stronger, almost as if she was on the verge of making a breakthrough to level four supreme saint. He thought to himself, 'We entered the sect just over half a year ago, but it seems that Diane is already on the cusp of a breakthrough to level four supreme saint. Such an achievement is enough to rank her high within the elite disciples'The condensed spiritual energy vortex was absorbed in a flash, but he noticed that Diane's spiritual energy was still stuck at level three supreme saint. Having decided to walk over and position himself in th
Discussions were rife among the disciples of the Fifth and Sixth Mountains after they learned that Severin's wives had made a breakthrough. Some female disciples were vocal with their jealousy as they glanced longingly in the direction of Pearl Light Isle—they were envious of Diane and the others for being lucky enough to become Severin's wives.Ever since Severin gained fame in the Grandiuno Sect by clearing the first six floors in the Alchemy Tower, he had become the object of admiration for many female disciples across the mountains.In the eyes of those disciples, Severin was the epitome of perfection—he was the sect's sixth core disciple, a prodigious alchemist, and someone who possessed the Chaos Constitution. Those qualities, coupled with Severin's handsome appearance, had many female disciples pining secretly for him. Had Severin been single, he might have found himself visited by those admirers all the time.Many of the female disciples were thus even more jealous after lea
Diane lit up with joy when she spotted Severin. There was a twinkle in her eye as she spoke in a magnetic voice, "Thank you, honey. It was all because of you that we were able to make a breakthrough together."Diane remained aware of everything that was happening outside despite being in seclusion. She knew that Severin's intervention had helped in ensuring that the supply of spiritual energy within the island remained constant. Higher attainment levels demanded more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which would make it difficult for them to secure a breakthrough if that flow was interrupted. As level four supreme saints, they were considered to fall within the top ranks of elite disciples.After Diane thanked him on behalf of the girls, Severin stepped forward and pinched her cheeks slightly. "That's my duty as everyone's husband."Diane rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "You're such a sweet talker."As they spoke, Gilda exited her seclusion and joined them. Gilda, who wa
Surprised by what he heard, Severin soared up from his chair and flew out of Pearl Light Isle as soon as he heard Emery's voice echoing outside the island.As he stepped out of the island's protective formation, Severin's attention was drawn to the sight of a captivating woman. Her graceful figure was clothed in a pure white robe that complemented her peachy face. Like a flower unsullied by the soil that it grows on, she emanated a prominent and serene aura that captivated anyone.Severin stood suspended in the air upon seeing Emery. He gazed at her and suggested, "Let's call off the bet we made, Emery. It's not something that we ought to be taking too seriously."Having won the tournament against Emery and obtained the Pristine Spirit Pill and its recipe, Severin faced much animosity from Daniella, who tended to be very protective of her student. To avoid any potential conflicts, Severin decided to forgo Emery's unfulfilled part of the bet.Emery, however, seemed offended by his s
Emery recalled vividly her master's advice during that challenging time, where she was told that confronting the problem head-on was the best way to overcome her inner turmoil. However, Emery hesitated to immediately fulfill her part of her bet, believing that she could conquer her traumatic experience without any help. Alas, the outcome was a resounding failure. Since her defeat to Severin, Emery found her progress becoming stagnant. There was even a decline in her success rate of refining the sixth-grade medium-rank Crystal Spring Pill.In her helpless desperation, Emery finally accepted reality. Letting go of the trauma after Severin's defeat would require her to face the situation head-on. After days of internal struggle, a recent surge of terrifying swordwill on the Seventh Mountain caught her attention, and it later transpired to her that Severin was behind that.Emery's master, Daniella, insisted that Severin possessed the potential to become a celestial, which only highligh
When Severin entered Pearl Light Isle, he observed Emery's movements with his divine senses and saw Emery following him in with the token in hand. His previous wariness of Emery's master, Daniella, had reduced slightly because Emery had entered out of her volution. The distinction between coercion and voluntary action were two different things, and it was not the place of any outsider to comment on that.After withdrawing his divine senses, Severin smiled to himself and thought, 'Hmm… Emery is going to be very useful in helping to craft sixth-grade low-rank and medium-rank pills. That'll help me to focus on making a breakthrough to seventh-grade alchemist.'Severin was motivated by the prospect. Though his elevated status as the sixth core disciple sparked many an envious glance from the ordinary disciples, he knew all too well that his responsibilities continued to grow. His days were spent either training, polishing his combat techniques, or creating pills to secure a much-anticipa
"She'll be my maid from now on," Severin said openly. His straightforward response came as a bit of a surprise to them. Though they knew of Emery's earlier bet, they hardly expected her to hold on to her word and become his maid.The usually mediative Gilda voiced her concern. "Having her become a maid doesn't seem like a particularly good idea."Doing so might bring disgrace to the Sixth Mountain if word got out. Severin understood the reasons behind her concern and reassured her with a smile.Emery, on the other hand, offered her reassurance to Gilda. "It's just a bet. I lost to Severin, and it is my obligation to fulfill my end of the bet."The firmness in her reply helped reassure them that she seemed to have done it out of her own free will. They all got up and approached Emery. As the first wife, Diane had a caring character that could set everyone at ease. She smiled and suggested, "Don't think of yourself as a maid. Just make yourself comfortable as one of us."Gilda and S
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
