The man pointed at the courtyard and said, “The Imperial Jade Seal is in the courtyard.”“Let’s have a look.”James headed toward the courtyard immediately.Meanwhile, Sophie did not linger long in the outside world. Transforming into a faint glow, she disappeared without a trace and reappeared in the Celestial Abode in the next instant.In the City Lord’s Mansion’s courtyard…In an open area, a large rune floated in the air about twenty meters above the ground. The rune depicted a black dragon head with some mysterious characters below it.“Is this the Imperial Jade Seal?”James looked at the floating rune. The rune was large, about twenty meters in length, and was entirely black, emitting a black light along with an extremely terrifying aura. This aura was the curse’s power.“That’s right.”The man who followed after James said, “This is the Imperial Jade Seal which I obtained by chance. I learned the unparalleled Curse Magic. Unfortunately, I was unable to control the curse
James looked at Walganus and said, “Let’s get going, then.”Walganus nodded.They hurriedly left the area. After leaving the Barren Wasteland, they met up with the Blademaster of Mount Grinch and left for Sangria through the airship.Shortly, they arrived at the border of Sangria.The Blademaster stopped and said, “Since there’s a curse in Sangria, I won’t be following you two from here. I hope you can remove Sangria and this world’s curses. By then, you’ll be the saviors of this world, and everyone will be eternally grateful for your deeds.”James clasped his fists and said, “No trouble at all.”He saved the formalities and turned to leave.The moment he arrived at Sangria, he was immediately spotted by Korinth’s scouts.At that moment, in the courtyard of the Korinthian Palace, Xandalous appeared before a simple wooden house and greeted respectfully, “Grand Patriarch…”Creak…The door opened, and an elderly man walked out. Wearing a grey robe, the elderly man’s hair was com
Earth would experience four calamities.The First Calamity annihilated many ordinary people but had no effect on cultivators. The Second Calamity, which was deemed as an apocalypse, was resolved by James. However, James was unable to remove the seals within humanity’s bodies. To achieve a breakthrough, humans needed to break the seals. It could only be accomplished by reaching the pinnacle of each rank. Meanwhile, there was only a handful of humans who could accomplish such a feat.The Third Calamity would be a Curse Calamity.Though James had no idea what a Curse Calamity would be, he could imagine that it would be far more terrifying than the previous ones.After returning to Sangria, James, and Walganus hurriedly made their way toward the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. They arrived in just a few short days.At the main hall of the Sword Pavilon’s main peak, James asked, “I have brought the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword here. How do we break the Sword Pavilion’s seal? Where is the sea
He planned to return the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and Sangria after removing both the seal and the curse. However, Walagnus had no idea what was on his mind.“Don’t tell me that you plan on taking them for yourself, James. The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword is an Ancestral God Weapon that is unrivaled even in the Primordial Age, let alone the contemporary age. By possessing the weapon, the cultivation journey will be a breeze. Meanwhile, the Imperial Jade Seal is closely connected with Curse Magic. Its power is comparable to an Ancestral God Weapon. I’m now giving you the privilege to choose one for yourself.”Walganus looked at James.However, James seemed to be daydreaming, unwilling to make a decision. Guessing that James wanted everything for himself, Walganus smiled and said, “Do you seriously wish to have everything for yourself?”James said, “The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword belongs to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion
The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal had been long lost. For eons, the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and Sangria had never once given up on searching for them. However, despite the long passage of time, they were unable to locate their whereabouts. However, after James arrived at Sangria and became the Emperor for a short period of time, he managed to find the Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal, a feat Xanthe and Xianna found hard to believe.Under their expectant gazes, James took out the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and casually tossed it to Xanthe. Then, he took out the Imperial Jade Seal and threw it to Xianna.“Are these the correct items?”As Xanthe scrutinized the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, she also imbued Sage Energy into the sword. At that moment, the sword emitted a dazzling purple light, and an immense power was awakened.“Yes, this is the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword of the Sword Pavilion that has been long lost!” She exclaimed.Xianna held the Imperia
Then, James catalyzed the Yogacara Sword Energy inside his body. Immediately, countless waves of Sword Energy poured out from his pores and scattered into the surroundings before disappearing into the mountains. At that moment, the entire Sword Pavilion shook, and some mountains began to move and undergo changes.Upon witnessing this, Walganus said delightedly, “I-It worked!”Xanthe had a look of anticipation on her face. Countless years had passed. Would the unparalleled sword technique seal within the Sword Pavilion finally be able to see the light of day?Xianna, too, was looking at James in expectation. James and the Sword Pavilion’s power slowly entered the mountains in the surroundings. As the mountains moved and underwent changes, they gathered to form a new mountain. As countless peaks formed into one, James’ soul seemed to have been drawn by an immense power into an unknown space. In this space, there were no mountains, water, or earth, only a vast emptiness. The void w
The series of events happened in an instant. By the time James reacted, everything had vanished, and he was standing at the highest point of the Sword Pavilion’s main peak. However, he knew that was not a hallucination, and he had truly obtained part of the inheritance of the Ancestral Sword Master. He could clearly sense a sigil in the middle of his forehead. Since the mark was faint and elusive, no one else could see it except for James, who could sense its presence.James took a deep breath.“I never thought there’d truly be the Ancestral Sword Master’s inheritance in the Sword Pavilion. By obtaining these inheritances, I’ll reach the Grand Emperor Rank.”He reabsorbed the Sword Energy he exuded and suppressed his aura before sheathing the Divine Sword. Immediately, many people rushed toward him.Walganus, who was the first to approach him, asked, “How did it go, James?”James glanced at him and asked, “What do you mean?”“The swordsmanship inheritance! Did you receive it?”
Xianna pointed at the door and said, “Do you see the slot on the door? Place the Imperial Jade Seal there and the door will open. The previous Empresses have tried numerous times but to no avail. Only the fated one can accomplish such a feat.”James nodded after he heard this.Holding the Imperial Jade Seal in hand, he walked toward the door. Under everyone’s watchful gaze, he placed the Imperial Jade Seal in the slot. At that moment, he could feel an immense power coming from the other end of the door. Meanwhile, the others could see a dark light materializing from the door, which poured out and enveloped James. Meanwhile, an extremely powerful Demonic Energy materialized from James’ body and entered the Imperial Jade Seal through his arm before being transported to the door. The door, which had remained firmly shut for God knows how long, slowly opened, and a crack appeared.Seeing this, Walganus’ heartbeat accelerated.Soon, the wait would be over. As he was confident that Jam
