The extreme shock on Emery's face elicited a giggle from Diane and the other girls. Diane, as the eldest among them, stood up and said, "It's all thanks to Severin. We wouldn't have been able to make such quick breakthroughs without his alchemy skills."Gilda and the others nodded wholeheartedly upon hearing that. Though they had the privilege of residing on Pearl Light Isle, the training resources they received followed the standard given to normal disciples—two sixth-grade low-rank pills each month and a few spiritual stones. Breaking through to the fourth level of Supreme Saint with such limited resources was difficult, if not nearly impossible.Emery had already predicted yet, and she looked at the girls with envy. Consuming sixth-grade pills like candy was a luxury beyond imagination, and one that would surely leave everyone else outside of Pearl Light Isle in shock. Lucky for Emery, she was able to calm herself down quickly as a result of her experience.She then observed that
During the period where she had to grapple with her inner trauma, maintaining even a thirty percent success rate with the sixth-grade low-rank Crystal Spring Pill was challenging. Several cauldrons nearly burnt to the point of being unusable during the refinement period."I'll be back to my best again if this continues!" Emery thought. Her remaining resentment toward Severin had dissipated. After doing a stretch, she carefully sealed the dozen or so Crystal Spring Pills in a box.Upon completing the task, she opened the door and entered the garden courtyard. There, she found Severin and others lounging on chairs and reading books. Emery approached them and handed the book, saying, "Here are the pills."Severin put aside his guidebook to the places outside of Southsky and took the box. He opened it to find fifteen Crystal Spring Pills inside. After a brief inspection, he frowned and closed the box. He tossed it to Diane and the girls before remarking, "The quality isn't good enough,
After suppressing her excitement, Emery gestured respectfully to Severin and said, "I can't help but wonder how far you've progressed in alchemy. I feel like I've been enlightened by your advice."The excited look on Emery's face led Severin to smile calmly. "I am making preparations to become a seventh-grade alchemist!"It had been nearly two months since he became a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist, and after digesting the knowledge passed down to him in the Alchemy Tower, Severin had a better idea of how he could become a seventh-grade alchemist. By his estimation, it would not be long until he achieved that.Emery's jaw dropped upon learning that Severin was already preparing to become a seventh-grade alchemist. As far as she knew, Severin was only a sixth-grade medium-rank alchemist when she lost to him in the contest. Seeing him about to be promoted to a seventh-grade alchemist gave her the impression that breakthroughs in alchemy came naturally to him!As a prodigy of the Six
Every single one of Severin's wives stood up one after another. Diane stared at the dark clouds blotting out the light as well as the thunderous aura contained within them. She might be a level four supreme saint, but she was still intimidated by the spectacle. As Selene's mother, she could not help but ask anxiously, "Why would thunderbolts appear when Selene is merely making a breakthrough from royal saint to supreme saint?"Even Severin was a little puzzled by that. When he first broke through to level nine supreme saint to that of a paragon, the phenomena that occurred were limited only to a vortex of spiritual energy. There were no thunderbolts, as suggested there. However, Selene's breakthrough made it appear as though the thunderbolts in the sky were some sort of heavenly retribution!Emery stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave and offered some words of comfort as she looked at Diane's anxious expression. "This is a good thing, and there's nothing to be worried about
The increasingly terrifying occurrence gradually covered the sky above Pearl Light Isle. Every crackle of lightning and thunderbolts sent shockwaves within Emery's heart. The revelation that Selene was eight years old echoed in her mind and left her stunned.Who would have thought that an eight-year-old girl could become a supreme saint? If news got out, everyone in Southsky would be frothing at the mouth! By comparison, Emery had just started training at that age. Such a heaven-defying quality would place her as one of the best in the entire Grandiuno Sect!The notion that something so young could become a supreme saint at such a young age was unprecedented, and only top geniuses from Midland were likely to achieve that!Severin was unaware of Emery's surprise and remained wholly focused on his daughter's breakthrough. The thunderbolts above Pearl Light Isle intensified and created something of a doomsday scene. Even the usually calm Severin could not help but worry for Selene. His
Daniella was somewhat stunned when she saw that the source was likely Pearl Light Isle. "Isn't that the direction of Pearl Light Isle? Could Severin be the cause of the tribulations?"In Daniella's mind, Severin's qualities made him almost godlike, as he had the Chaos Consitution, was a prodigious alchemist, and had the ability of swordsmanship all combined into one. It was an exceedingly rare combination of the whole of Southsky, and the first core disciple—Karl—was probably the only person who could compare to Severin."If that young man awakens another talent, Southsky's younger generation of disciples will idolize him," Daniella mumbled to herself. After the wonder in her heart dissipated, she flew straight into the sky and transformed into a stream of light as she made her way toward Pearl Light Isle.Many of the elders reacted in much the same way that Daniella did.On the Seventh Mountain, Myles was busy instructing the disciples on swordsmanship when he noticed the calamito
At that moment, Oskar was just about as surprised as Daniella and the others."Did Severin awaken yet another incredible talent?" Oskar believed that it was entirely possible. When Severin had accidentally awakened his swordwill in the Seventh Mountain's Sword Tomb, it soared thousands of miles high into the sky and sliced through the air. It became the talk of many sect elders. Naturally, Oskar heard about that incident as well, as everything that happened in the Grandiuno Sect could never escape his perception.He shifted his gaze away from the Thunderbolt Tribulation and stroked the beard on his chin. "This is interesting. Such a terrifying tribulation could only point toward a unique divine constitution or something similar to the immortal bloodline of Midland. I should go there and find out the cause of this."In a swift, he left the area without a trace. Having such a talented person in the sect was a blessing, of course, but little did he know that the person who invoked the
The Greenwood Pill was a sixth-grade high-rank pill known to be one of the best healing pills among all sixth-grade healing pills. Severin had previously crafted it after receiving the knowledge from the Alchemy Tower and prepared it just in case it was needed in the future.The Greenwood Pill contained an abundance of life's essence, and even those who were on the verge of death could be saved from death's door. After giving the Greenwood Pill to Selene, Severin still felt worried and decided to hand his defensive spiritual treasure—the Darkgold Bell—and handed it to his precious daughter. "Take my Darkgold Bell. It'll protect you."The Darkgold Bell was a spiritual treasure that had qualities of both attack and defense. The energy inside of it formed the vitality of heaven and earth, and ordinary attacks were useless in breaking through it. Although the Thunderbolt Tribulation in front of him was turbulent, Severin was confident that Selene could safely survive it.Severin's confi
