James was not expecting Brielle to appear out of the blue.Thea looked at James and smiled mischievously. Then, she said, “I-I still have other things to do. I’ll take my leave first.”After speaking, she stood up and left.“Thea…”James stood up and wanted to chase after her but was held back by Brielle.Brielle tugged James’ arm and asked coldly, “Where’s the bodhi tree?”“Let me explain, Brielle.” James looked at Brielle troubledly.Brielle let go of James, crossed her hands, and stared coldly at James.James said solemnly, “You already know the situation on Earth and the trials humans are going through right now. I didn’t steal the bodhi tree for myself but for the sake of humanity. I want to help humans rise up quickly.”“Th-The bodhi tree is crucial for my clan’s survival in the Demon Realm.”Brielle glared at James and said, “No matter your purpose, I hope you’ll return it to my clan.”James said lightly, “Honestly, the bodhi tree is useless to me. I’ve never consumed
James knew he had wronged Brielle.However, he did not want any more misunderstandings.Thus, he chose to leave and return to his own accommodation.Thea had already returned and was sitting on a chair outside the yard. She was not surprised to see James coming back so soon since she knew James’ character well.She stood up and asked playfully, “Why are you back so soon? You should’ve at least spent some time with her. For the past few years, she’s been traveling with me just to find you.”James walked over, sat down, and smiled troubledly. “Back then, I only married her to steal the bodhi tree. However, I do indeed owe her an apology. I’ll have to find a chance to make it up to her.”Thea also sat back down.“By the way, what’re you planning to do next?”James thought for a while and said, “The elixir for suppressing the curse hasn’t been developed yet, and there’s no certainty on how long it will take. Moreover, I have no idea when the third providence will appear. Thus, I pl
After everyone left the mountain, the ring on James’ finger fell over. Then, it continuously enlarged into a colossal abode.Seeing the Celestial Abode appear on the mountaintop, James was satisfied. He murmured, “I’ll stay here for now and wait for the third providence to appear as well as for the curse-suppressing elixir to be developed.”James casually waved his hand.The Celestial Abode’s gate opened.He stepped inside and appeared on a mountain outside the Celestial Abode’s city.The mountain was full of Spiritual Energy, and countless fruits were planted in the area. All of these fruits contained great power.Everything within the Celestial Abode belonged to James.Seeing the things around him, James felt a sense of accomplishment.He stepped out and descended the mountain. Soon, he reached the city gate and walked toward the City Lord’s Mansion.After fighting with Yorick, James acquired more experience in the Third and Fourth Stages of the Five Great Sword Realms. He p
The mysterious door was full of powerful energy.“That’s the South Heaven Gate.”While the prodigies discussed the Divine Door, a voice suddenly resounded.Hearing the voice, many creatures turned to look for the source.A man in a white robe and carrying a long sword walked over. He was not very handsome but had a decent appearance.“Walganus?” James’ brows furrowed. He walked over to Walganus and asked, “Do you know the origin of this door?”Many of the prodigies stared at Walganus, waiting for his answer.Walganus stared at the Divine Door ahead and harked back into his memories.He was very familiar with the Divine Door.In the past, he used to play around this particular door.After a while, he nodded and said, “Yeah. I know where it’s from.”“Sir, what’s the origin of this Divine Door?”“Yeah. Cut to the chase and tell us.”“Is it the third providence?”They bombarded him with questions.Walganus replied, “I don’t know whether it’s related to the third providence
Walganus wiped the blood from his lips and said, “I know. It seems I woke up a little earlier than I should’ve and missed my opportunity to obtain the providences.”James asked, “Is there anything you’d like me to help with?”Walganus took a deep breath to calm himself down.“During the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, countless Supernatural Powers and Secret Arts existed. However, the strongest among them is called the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts. It’s a unique Supernatural Power my father obtained after divining the Heavenly Path.”“The Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts?”James was shocked.Back when he was in the Demon Realm, Sophie defeated three powerhouses with the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts.Walganus said, “Yeah. From what I know, my father recorded the Three-Thousand Cultivation Arts in the Heavenly Book. The Heavenly Book is the Ancient Heavenly Court’s treasure. However, it has never been found throughout history.“Thus, I suspect the Wordless Heavenly Book is still
James really did not know what to say to Brielle.He cheated her feelings and stole her family’s precious bodhi tree after their wedding ceremony.No matter what, Brielle wanted to retrieve the bodhi tree, which was crucial for the Labhrann Clan’s survival.As for her marriage with James, Brielle had not thought about how to deal with it yet.However, she subconsciously acknowledged James as her husband.Despite that, James did not want to accept her, and there was nothing she could do.Qusai said smilingly, “James, you should let Brielle come with us. Besides, didn’t Henrik mention that Brielle is extraordinary and will be the first person to reach the Emperor Rank in the Apocalypse Age? Moreover, she’s very fortunate, so I’m sure you’ll have a share in her blessings if she’s around.” Hearing this, James cast a glance at Brielle.Henrik did say that Brielle would be the first to become a Grand Emperor in the near future.Becoming a Grand Emperor was a big deal.In this age,
James looked at her and asked, “Are you also going to the Ancient Heavenly Court’s ruins?”Maxine said, “Of course! How could I miss out on the opportunity?”Thea looked at Maxine.She knew Maxine’s character very well.Maxine called out to Thea sweetly, “Thea.”Thea nodded slightly in response to her greeting.Thea walked over to James, stretched out her hands, and fixed James’ collar. She tenderly reminded him again, “Go on. Please be mindful on your journey. I’ll wait on Earth for your safe return.”James said smilingly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be alright.”After a brief conversation with Thea, James walked toward the South Heaven Door.Many people were gathered at the South Heaven Door, waiting for James.“Are you ready, James?” asked Qusai.James nodded. “Yeah.”Brielle said excitedly, “The Ancient Heavenly Court, the most terrifying existence during the Ancient Heavenly Court Age. They were the dominators of the universe and managed to gain control over the vast universe.
James did not expect Qusai to be familiar with scripts from the Ancient Heavenly Court Age.Qusai looked at the massive stone tablet ahead. After inspecting it for a while, he said, “It’s about the history of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age.”James said, “Let’s hear it.”Qusai nodded and said, “In the early period of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age, the universe was in turmoil, and all creatures were in dire straits. The founder of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, took things into his hands and created the Ancient Heavenly Court. Then, they became the most significant force in that age and took control over the universe.“The stone tablet also records the Jade Emperor’s achievements throughout history.“It says he went through eighteen thousand tribulations, each lasting three hundred and thirty years respectively. After that, he became the Ancient Heavenly Court’s Lord.”Qusai briefly went through the stuff recorded on the stone tablet.It was a tablet that recorded
