Severin could not help but smile bitterly to himself. The Ancestora's true form had defied the former Green Emperor's attempts at suppression, which could only be achieved via containment in a forbidden area for epochs. Yet, those individuals were entertaining the idea of exploiting the Ancestora's emergence.Furthermore, Severin could not shake the feeling that things were not as they seemed. Egbert's account of his demise at the hands of a corpse puppet, rather than the Ancestora itself, sent shivers down his spine.Just as he was about to caution Abner against underestimating the enemy, the discussion regarding an opportunity to achieve immortality had attracted everyone's attention.Lumino, the Gildons' half-immortal, stroked his beard thoughtfully. "You may be right. I'm inclined to believe that the Ancestora's strength hasn't recovered to its fullest after breaking free from the seal. If we join forces, we may stand a chance against them."Jaxon, the Grand Priest of Northsea,
Severin waited until only Adrian and Amethyst remained in the hall before voicing his concerns. "Master, relying solely on the patrol guard will probably not be enough to challenge the Primordial Sacred Land, especially considering Egbert's warning that the corpse puppet killed him with barely any effort. And as if that's not bad enough, the puppet was made using Xavier's body, who I'm sure has perfected his half-immortal attainment before death."Severin's expression was fraught with worry as he continued, "Moreover, there's also a possibility that the Ancestora's true form has ascended to true immortality. We cannot afford to be careless."Adrian, who was seated on the elevated platform, could tell that Severin was speaking in an advisory tone. He glanced at the Jaxon and the rest of the disappearing figures before lamenting, "I know that, of course."He knew better than anyone just how strong the Ancestora was having clashed with its clone 'Baldwin' and thwarted its plans durin
The Nine Nether Balance Flower was one of the herbs obtained by Severin from the dragonoids' treasure room. It contained traces of the rule of balance which would bring great benefits to a level nine supreme paragon.Meanwhile, the water from the Wicked Tribe was obtained when he destroyed the devil sects in Cesun and Lasbonrket. It would be of much use for nourishing the primal spirit.Though Severin's primal spirit has already been perfected and transformed into solar spirit, he aimed to refine a half-immortal pill that could enable more people within the sacred land to become half-immortals. After all, that would buy him some time.For instance, Carson, Willette, and the other level nine supreme paragons had already reached the threshold in their mana but had yet to undergo a transformation in their primal spirit. Furthermore, if he used the remaining seven celestial peaches in his possession, he could potentially craft more than a hundred pills. That would be more than enough fo
Though Severin was a little heartbroken that two pills were unsuccessful, he knew that he had to step up his efforts. For the pills to be deemed true celestial pills, they would have to endure a heavenly tribulation.Celestial pills were unlike normal ninth-grade ones. They were created through the force of heaven and earth—a defiance of natural order which would certainly invoke a thunderbolt tribulation. Only through weathering said tribulation and embracing the power therein could those few become true celestial pills.Severin unlatched the lid of the cauldron. He retrieved the pills and tossed them into the sky. "Go forth!"As if imbued with sentience, the pills pierced through the void and materialized within the cave world beyond the Green Emperor's Pagoda. In an instant, the cavernous space erupted with a cacophony of thunder and lightning as dark clouds loomed ominously overhead.This spectacle seized the attention of all disciples and elders within the cave world.The fir
The nearby elders who heard that felt their hearts swell with emotion as they brimmed with gratitude toward Severin. His willingness to offer such precious pills to the sect would eventually benefit their level nine supreme paragons. After all, the six elders had been entrenched in the sacred land for a long time. Only Hepman and Kugen had arrived more recently and had yet to contribute significantly to the sect. The rest of the sect's members were either not strong enough or not worthy enough to eat the pills.Moved by the gesture, Carson raised his hand and retrieved a white jade-shaped talisman from his spatial ring. The talisman bore the pattern of a miniature sword, exuding a majestic and expansive aura that even an ordinary level nine supreme paragon would find daunting.With a smile, Carson presented the talisman to Severin. "Your generosity knows no bounds. This pill is incredibly precious, yet you have graciously offered it to us. I have a piece of the Thunder Struck Swordli
Other people might deem those pills to be incredibly valuable, but Severin regarded them as only being slightly better than most. Parting ways with them did not leave him too heartbroken—after all, there were another six celestial peaches in his inner world, and those were a true celestial elixir! By comparison, all seven pills amounted to no more than the medicinal properties of a single peach. While they might appear precious, they paled in comparison to the genuine thing!Adrian observed Severin's nonchalant demeanor toward the pills and kept quiet, though not without rolling his eyes."I'll take my leave now," Severin declared, demonstrating his tact by departing promptly. He wanted to test if he could attain half-immortality.Upon returning to the Green Emperor's Pagoda, Severin wasted no time and assumed a cross-legged posture. He consumed the pill, and a golden essence flooded his stomach before erupted into a pure medicinal power. That power soon surged through his meridians
The sudden sound reverberated through the cave world, instantly alarming the disciples in retreat. When Carson and the other elders sensed the half-immortal aura emanating from Severin's body, wry smiles spread across their faces."Dear me, it looks like Severin is making another breakthrough.""I need to step up my game too."After a brief exchange, Carson and the other elders who had received Severin's pills were motivated into dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to their training. They had reached the level nine supreme paragon stage much earlier than Severin, yet many were stuck for decades without making any progress. Armed with the celestial pill, their determination to break through to half-immortality had become resolute.Meanwhile, within the confines of the Green Emperor's Pagoda space, Severin had just perfected his physical form and became a half-immortal in one fell swoop. With his keen divine senses, he observed that his body bore some resemblance to burning iron. Wi
After Amethyst's breakthrough, everyone else—Carson the first elder, Willette the second elder, Heath the third elder, Mona the fourth elder, and Cuthbert the fifth elder—had all become half-immortals too. Their gratitude toward Severin was immeasurable, and they pledged to safeguard the well-being of his wives in the days to come.The news of all six elders' ascension to half-immortality sent shockwaves throughout the sect. The Menzies and the Burkes, both newcomers to the sect, were brimming with excitement as well. At that moment, Hepman and Kugen knew that aligning themselves with Severin was perhaps the best decision they had ever made.As time trickled by, the six newly anointed half-immortal elders emerged from their seclusion one by one. They wanted to express their gratitude to Severin personally, but they soon discovered that he was still in retreat. Left with no other option, they could only convey their thanks through messages directed to Severin's divine senses before de
