Severin was unsure what Lejeune's group was up to, so he felt that the best choice was to accept their offerings. "Thank you for your generosity."He was not about to give up on an opportunity that had fallen into his lap. Severin's acceptance gave the five some respite as they breathed a sigh of relief. That seemed to demonstrate Severin's openness to resolve their past misunderstandings. The chance to go with Severin to Midland might just be within reach if they placed a bit more effort in appeasing him.Unable to suppress the surge of pride in his heart any longer, he stood up and asked, "May I be so bold as to ask if there are any remaining slots among the twenty people you'll bring to Midland?""I'm willing to pay you a handsome sum to secure a spot for myself!" another peak master asked as soon as Lejeune made that enquiry. They all expressed their readiness to offer resources and spiritual treasures in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Grandiuno Sacred Land!Myles sc
Myles grinned. "We're here to ask if you'll allow us to go with you to the Grandiuno Sacred Land."Myles's group had the same goal as Lejeune's group. The Grandiuno Sacred Land held the highest power over Midland, and while they could not become elites or core disciples like Severin, securing an ordinary discipleship there was preferable to remaining within the sect.Midland's prosperity far surpassed that of Southsky. In Midland, a royal paragon was viewed as having the bare minimum, while supreme paragons held authority over each sect. Some of the ancient bloodlines and other sacred lands might even boast Semi-Celestials.Myles and the rest had been stuck at level nine paragon for a long time and could not seem to be able to make a breakthrough to royal paragon. Opportunities in Southsky were scarce, if not absent, yet waiting for such an opportunity that might never even come was all they could do in Southsky. As a result, Myles's group wanted to follow Severin to Midland, where
Though strength in battle was valued in the world of attainment, reciprocal favors were far more important. When they did support Severin with various resources in the past, they did so in the hopes that Severin would become the future leader of the Grandiuno Sect. They did not expect Severin to secure victory in the tournament, thereby obtaining the quota to Midland and paving the way for them to join him.Under normal circumstances, even peak masters and elders at level nine paragon would have to disassociate themselves from their sect if they wanted to train in Midland. However, traveling in such territory was far from easy for such individuals due to the intricate interconnection between all the major forces. There, paragons were considered mid-tier forces, and it was royal paragons that held the bare minimum of influence.With Severin's assurance and approval, the peak masters chatted with Severin for some time before finally bidding farewell. A dumbfounded expression appeared a
Although Diane and the girls were as yet unable to use the seventh-grade Breakthrough Pill, Severin felt it prudent to prepare them in advance.After a brief rest, Severin continued his alchemy session to craft a pill for himself—the seventh-grade medium-rank Grandispirit Pill, which helps paragons increase their attainment and condense the power of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth was required in large amounts to temper their body, condense their soul, and increase their attainment. Once their physical flesh, bones, and blood began to take on a golden hue, they would then have enough power to destroy everything within a ten-mile radius by simply waving their hand.Only by cultivating a golden physique and condensing one's solar spirit that could a persn comprehend combat techniques at a profound level. That would then pave the way for a breakthrough to royal paragon.Given its high grade, the Grandispirit Pill was a challenging creation, and Daniella was the only per
Severin took a deep breath and relished the refreshing feeling. As Severin's attainment rose, his perfect-stage level one paragon attainment gradually began to expand. Sensing that he was on the verge of make a breakthrough to level two paragon, he continuously channeled his energy to absorb the power of the Grandispirit Pill and incorporate it into his attainment.Two days later, Severin had drained the last remnants of the Grandispirit Pill. His aura trembled, disrupting the surrounding space and extinguishing the elements around him. Then, his body seemed to have been engulfed in the elements, and he continued to repeat his training exercises when he sensed the invisible bottleneck."Now!" he yelled, and a shattering sound was heard in his mind. The surrounding energy then surged into his body, elevating his aura to a frighteningly high level. It was then that he finally made a successful breakthrough from level one paragon to early-stage level one paragon. Several feet of surroun
Felipe grinned as he gazed up at the spiritual vortex atop the mountain. "Your daughter takes after you, Severin. Both your talents are otherworldly," he remarked.Wuhlricht added, "I couldn't have said it better myself. Severin was just a warrior emperor when he first joined the Skyblue Sect. Then he led us to the Bleurealm, and he's now preparing to leave for Midland not even a year after he entered the Grandiuno Sect!"Wuhlricht was aghast at how Severin from going from strength to strength. Severin was only a warrior emperor at the Skyblue Sect, while Selene was only just starting her attainment training. With Severin securing a breakthrough to level two supreme saint, he had become an invincible existence among the Grandiuno Sect's younger generation. Selene, on the other hand, was fast catching up as she was on the cusp of a level two supreme saint breakthrough.When Severin heard Wuhlricht and Felipe's lamenting, Severin remarked sheepishly, "It would be such a waste not to
The celebrations ceased only after the moon was at its highest in the sky.Early the next morning, Severin emerged from his room feeling incredibly refreshed. As usual, he headed to the courtyard for some boxing exercises as a warm-up. After completing his routine, the sect token on his body started to vibrate. He channeled his divine senses into the token and discovered that it was a message from Daniella. She asked him if he could go to the Alchemy Chamber to instruct several of the alchemist there.Severin was left dumbstruck by that request, as he had just only realized that he had neglected his duty as the elder of the Alchemy Chamber! It was a position that Oskar had appointed him to! Knowing that it was important for any practitioner to balance work and rest, Severin decided to himself. "I should take some time off training and relax a little. A short break would do me good after my breakthrough. Plus, there are only about twenty days left before I head to the Starry Sky Battl
Severin became a seventh-grade alchemist in a little over half a year since entering the sect, putting his abilities on par with that of Daniella's. More significantly, the alchemy knowledge from the Alchemy Tower had been passed down on him, thus raising expectations for him to reach eighth- or even ninth-grade in the future.Numerous alchemists sought Severin's guidance within the sect. News of his achievements and potential spread quickly, creating a frenzy among many of the alchemists. Simply thinking about it was enough to tick Daniella off.Since many of the alchemists in the Alchemy Chamber had no access to Pearl Light Isle, Daniella—in her capacity as an elder and peak master in charge of the Sixth Mountain—found herself burdened by the constant pestering by these alchemists who were eager to learn from Severin.In addition to winning the first place in the sect tournament, Severin's outstanding qualifications made the alchemists even more desperate to receive his advice. Fe
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
