Raymond stared at Severin with his mouth agape. He knew that Sian was blessed with the Golden Spirit Constitution and had always been regarded as the Gahrrs' prodigy. Sian was perfectly capable of killing someone stronger than him, even at a young age, and Peak Master Myles of the Seventh Mountain had specifically cautioned them about being careful around Sian.As a level eight supreme saint with the Golden Spirit Constitution, Sian's strength easily surpassed even some level nine peers. Raymond, at level nine himself, might manage to overpower him, but Severin, a level seventh supreme saint, had taken it a step further and went against three formidable opponents!For ordinary practitioners, the small gap between each stage might as well be an abyss. The higher one progressed, the bigger the chasm would become. Though a level three warrior king might be able to defeat level eight or level nine warrior kings by relying on proper techniques and stellar weapons, such instances were down
Raymond's curiosity was piqued when Severin first joined the sect, and he questioned what qualifications Severin had that led the sect to carve out such a status for him.What soon followed was a whirlwind of achievements, whereby Severin surpassed Emery on the Alchemy Tower ranking and defeated Shyam, who was ranked ten on the prodigy rankings. He later reached the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower and became the first ever disciple in its millennia-long history to be ranked first.Only half a year had passed, yet it seemed as though time had turned into a blur. The previous days faded into obscurity, yet Severin continued to stun everyone with his meteoric rise.Raymond had always wanted to build a strong rapport with Severin because he hoped to secure the position of the next sect leader. However, that dream seemed more and more distant as he was cast into Severin's shadow.Spencer and Riley, the second and third core disciples, were just as formidable and should not be underes
The peculiar fog that once covered the mountain soon dissipated. Severin reached the peak swiftly with his level seven supreme saint attainment, even though he had to lead his woman over too.Severin beheld the eight radiant spiritual treasures when he arrived at the peak.The first was a flame-emitting fan that possessed radiant energy and was attuned to fire. The second was a three-foot-long black ruler that emanated a blackish shimmer. Engraved with etchings of the stars, sun, and moon, it was capable of obstructing a practitioner's divine senses.The third was a crystal-clear, five-foot-long sword. It was smaller and more graceful than ordinary swords, but the energy emanating from it was excruciatingly cold.Other treasures included a small cauldron, a glowing broadsword, a polearm with a phoenix and a dragon engraved on it, and a humanoid puppet-like item. As the protective formation's restriction broke, these treasures seemed to awaken as the energy within them burst fort
Severin decisively extended his palm and seized the puppet-shaped spiritual treasure, which he could subdue with ease due to his strength as a level seven supreme saint. After securing what he wanted, he assisted his wives in acquiring their chosen treasures. All treasures were soon snapped up.Raymond claimed two: the small bell and the polearm.Severin and his wives jointly obtained four spiritual treasures.The humanoid puppet that Severin subdued was known as the Supreme Saint Puppet. When activated, it could display abilities equivalent to that of a level nine supreme saint and be instructed to fight on one's behalf. Severin found it intriguing more than anything.The fan that Diane secured was known as the Seven-Bird Fire-Feather Fan. It was a fearsome weapon made from the feathers of seven fire-attributed feathered monsters, and it was capable of unleashing a sky full of flames.Gilda's acquisition, the Sense-Shut Ruler, possessed properties similar to Tobias's Soul Devouri
Nightfall came, and Severin sat cross-legged on a deserted hill to begin his training. Having covered less than a hundred miles in their journey toward the central area during the day, the group found themselves in an environment saturated with nearly spiritual energy. It was the perfect location for seclusion, but the relentless pursuit of treasures within the ruins always necessitated wariness.As they approached the center of the ruins, Severin observed a growing number of practitioners in the vicinity. Elite disciples from major sects, such as the Deifirm Sect and Purevoid Sect, engaged in skirmishes over higher grade herbs. Raymond and Severin had faced several attempts to rob them, but Raymond's interventions successfully thwarted any potential threats. Even so, they all decided that it would be best to choose a hill to rest for the night and regain their strength.Reflecting on the day's encounters, Severin pondered, 'Wildfire's legacy has yet to show up, and there is already
Such rare treasures would spark heated altercations even between paragons. Practitioners would generally store such an ingredient carefully and wait until they found the necessary ingredients to refine everything into a seventh-grade pill capable of aiding one in a breakthrough. Severin, however, faced an unfortunate situation of having to consume the ingredient to secure a breakthrough to level eight supreme saint.Though there was no doubt about the herb's ability to propel one into making a breakthrough to paragon, it proved less cost-effective than the pill's efficacy in reaching the level of a royal paragon. As a result, most practitioners would choose to use it as an ingredient for the pill rather than consuming it.Deep down, Raymond was getting envious of Severin and began to wonder why he had yet to be lucky enough to come across such items. Nevertheless, he did not let his jealousy get the better of him and retained some measure of rational thinking. Were he not from the sa
Severin had no idea that he was becoming the talk of all the practitioners there.At that moment, the aura emanating from his body was intense, and his blood was thrumming with energy like a cauldron on the verge of boiling over.The power that emanated solely from his physical body made him seem like a humanoid beast!Within him, the strong medicinal energy surged through his limbs and bones. Spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into his body from all around, enveloping him and infusing into his body.Clouds and mist rose above the serene hill, and spiritual energy flowed into the churning clouds. An immense wave of spiritual energy soon surged within Severin, and the influx seemed to transform the spiritual liquid in his energy core into a boundless spiritual sea!The waters ebbed and flowed in waves that blossomed with golden light.The essence and energy from the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus entered Severin's body, and he felt as though a shackle within him had shattered.
Raymond was in a stupor as he saw Severin on the verge of reaching his level."Severin's name will be known throughout Southsky once this exploration ends," Raymond mused out loud after a heavy pause.Severin was deep in seclusion. He was oblivious to the spiritual energy intensifying around him as he absorbed the potent medicinal qualities of the Fire Phoenix Snow Lotus.Only during daybreak did the spiritual energy stabilized, thus marking his breakthrough to level eight supreme saint. At the moment of his breakthrough, golden lotuses blossomed around him as petals seemed to rain down from the heavens. Thousands of bright beams converged in a dazzling ray of light that illuminated the sky for hundreds of miles, just like the sun.Those near the hill instantly recognized Severin's successful breakthrough from the awe-inspiring phenomenon!Raymond could even sense the increase in Severin's spiritual energy.From early-stage, his energy rose to mid-stage, then late-stage, and fina
