The Pavilion’s influence in this world was unquestionable with its franchises everywhere. As a symbol of the prestige of being the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master, ordinary disciples knelt before him even though the World Pavilion had little tangible connection with the Elixir Pavilion. Jules seemed to be used to receiving this kind of treatment.Staring at these kneeling disciples, he asked coldly, “Who’s the one in charge here?”The person who hit James before this moved forward in a kneeling position and spoke carefully, “It was me.”“Your name?” Jules asked.“It’s Ladio Harlberg, Young Master.”Suddenly, Jules sent Ladio flying with a forceful kick. Ladio landed on the ground a distance away from Jules. This frightened the rest of Ladio’s group, so much so that silence was all they could manage.Jules walked towards Ladio and put his foot on this helpless disciple. Looking him in the eye, Jules said, “Do you know why I hit you?”Pinned to the ground, Ladio was in great discom
The girl was wearing a white dress. She had black hair and delicate features. Her complexion was smooth and fair and was at most twenty years old. She was insanely seductive as if she had emerged from a painting and had never witnessed the sufferings of the human world. Her eyes were like crystals from which innocence emanated.“What’s wrong?” She could not help but ask the injured and limping Ladio.“Grand Priestess Monica,” Respectfully, he continued, “The Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion is at the gates. I was beaten up by him.”“Elixir Pavilion? Young Master?” Monica staggered as she continued, “The World Pavilion has no bad blood with the Elixir Pavilion. Why did their Young Master hit my Pavilion’s disciples?”Hesitating, Ladio failed to give his immediate answer.“Just say whatever you want to say, it’s alright.” Monica tried soothing Ladio’s anxiety.Hearing this, Ladio opened up and replied truthfully, “Three years ago, an outsider wished to enter the World Pavilion.
Most of the time, Jules would have shrugged it off and let this beautiful young woman have her way. However, he had witnessed the true power of James. He alone diffused the immense power of the Cursed World and made a powerful figure so fearful that he fled. James was a figure whose existence was as powerful as the Grand Emperor Rank’s Ninth Heaven. A man like that must not be offended, for once James became livid, even the Elixir Pavilion would have to pay a heavy price.Monica was astonished. She looked at James with tons of questions on her mind. Who was this man? Why was he held in such high esteem by the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master? Once she stopped her train of thought, she walked towards James and greeted him, “I’m Monica Trinity of the World Pavilion. May I know who you are exactly and how I can be of assistance?”Jules responded with a growl, “To have James here ought to be the World Pavilion’s honor. Why ask so many questions?”Although James did not show any hints of
Based on how humble he was in front of James, Monica Trinity was positive that he was not the Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion. With the level of prestige accorded to the Young Master, he had no reason to be this respectful toward a weak man such as James.They soon reached the main hall of the World Pavilion’s main peak. “Please wait here, let me call the Great Elder,” said Monica as she left James and the others in the main hall.James sat on the chair, casually eating a berry. He even threw one to Yevpraksiya and said with a smile, “This is good stuff. One of these can make up for many years of cultivation.”Yevpraksiya did not refuse his invitation and started munching on one herself.“James, the Elixir Pavilion will hold its discipleship examination in another two millennia. On behalf of the Pavilion, I’d like to extend to you an invitation to be the judge at the event. Would you be interested?”, said Jules Daniela, who stood in front of James.Hearing this, Yevpraksiya wa
The World Pavilion was a family sect, its founder being the current Young Master, Wollongong Trinity. Wollongong was once a rogue cultivator who had excellent providence. He managed to attain the rank of Quasi-Emperor before he founded the World Pavilion. The Elders constituted the nucleus of the Trinity family, with Wollongong’s father being the current Great Elder. Grand Priestess Monica Trinity was an anomaly, as she was not born into the family. Her membership in the World Pavilion was thanks to her intelligence. The Elders were so impressed by her intelligence they decided to take her in as an apprentice and even appoint her as Grand Priestess, an immensely influential position.Upon hearing that the Young Master of Elixir Pavilion was now at the World Pavilion, the Great Elder, Grasberg Trinity made haste for the main hall.When he arrived at the main hall, he saw many disciples of the Elixir Pavilion in addition to a few boxes lying around. Entering his vision was a man with a
Grasberg left with another Elder after he was done talking, leaving Monica in the main hall. She stared at James and Jules with her eyes widened. Well, her name was not Monica. Monica was just a name given to her after she joined the World Pavilion. She had huge innate potential. Being the most powerful figure in the Spiritual Realm, she had seen a lot, but what was unfolding before her eyes was something she had never seen before.‘Who exactly is this young man? There can’t possibly be someone more influential than Jules in the Holy Realm?’ she asked herself silently.Jules had zero interest in Monica. He stood in front of James smilingly, and asked, “James, who was that mysterious person who knows Curse Magic in the Cursed World?” As the Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion, he was not interested only in beauties. He knew everything that happened in the Cursed World mattered a lot to the entire world. If this mysterious person who knew Curse Magic brought powerful figures to the Hol
In Monica’s eyes, James was but a clown. A very successful one, at that, to have fooled even the Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion.At the same exact moment, the Great Elder of the World Pavilion was already on his way to the Master’s closed-door meditation sanctuary. There were extremely steep stone walls at the back of the mountain. When he reached a stone wall, he held up his hand. Then, some mysterious prints and symbols appeared and enmeshed themselves within the wall in front of him. A loud roar came from the wall, followed by a crack, into which Grasberg walked. He entered a cave that extended inwards and arrived at a stone house located within its depths.Within the stone house, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged. A man with long hair who looked to be in his forties had mysterious symbols floating around his body in a circular motion.“Master.” Grasberg walked towards him. As this world operated based on the law of the jungle, he referred to Wollongong as ‘Master
With a troubled look on his face, Wollongong said, “I really don’t know.”James took out the elixir given by Emperor Jabari, handed it to him, and said, “I know you were injured at Mount Baidi, and that the injuries were severe. If you don’t treat them, you might die.“This is a healing elixir. It can heal your injuries.”Wollongong accepted it curiously. He opened the bottle. There was a golden pill the size of a grape. Some mystical inscriptions were depicted on it. The inscriptions were flowing around. It was enigmatic. Jules was a Divine Rank alchemist. At first glance, he recognized the worth of this elixir.“An E-Emperor Rank Elixir.”He could not help but take a deep breath.‘As expected of Mr. Caden, he pulled out an Emperor Rank elixir so readily.’Wollongong sensed the mystical power of the elixir in his hand as well. This elixir definitely could heal his injuries. Regardless, he could not tell anyone about Mount Baidi’s secret.He gave back the elixir.“Sir, I’m n
The sky was a brilliant blue, accented by white clouds. Vast plains stretched out with rolling peaks, rivers, and seas crisscrossing the expansive land, while an aura of Spiritual Energy permeated everything. This was a new world, brimming with life and vitality, existing independently from the myriad realms.Countless cultivation resources awaited discovery here. Unending adventures beckoned the brave, and limitless opportunities awaited those with exceptional talent.This was the new world James had created, based on the Forty-Nine Daoisms and merged with his own Daoism, to resolve the Leere Tribulation and save countless beings across the myriad realms.In this world, there was no powerful Heavenly Path, no hierarchy of races, no strict rules or oppressions, and no fate governing everything. Instead, actions were judged by karma. Fortune and misfortune, as well as success and failure, were determined by karma.Though it adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest and res
“No wonder,” Lord Goyo finally understood after an extended contemplation.He distinctly remembered that back at the Yin’s Void, Jacopo, the incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, had abruptly ordered him to move all foundations out of the Dark World. In hindsight, everything now made sense. It was likely that Jacopo had foreseen all of this.Realizing this, Lord Goyo felt a chill run down his spine as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite doubting Jacopo’s identity as an incarnation of Waitara Path’s Soremsia, he had followed his advice. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.Snapping back to reality, Lord Goyo looked down at the Yang governor and Gladwin from his elevated position.“You fool, do you realize your mistake?”The Yang governor and Gladwin looked up simultaneously, their faces full of fear.“Lord Goyo, I truly didn't notice this. I had no idea when the Dark World was separated.”“Lord Goyo, there is something fishy about this. If James has
At the peak of Mount One in the myriad realms, the Yang Governor, disguised as James, descended with Gladwin. Both looked deathly pale, as if they had just escaped a life-threatening disaster. They were filled with panic.They stopped simultaneously upon arriving beneath a massive platform in a grand dojo.“We need to sort this out first,” the Yang Governor glared fiercely at Gladwin. “Who's going to explain this later, you or me?”Gladwin swallowed nervously. “Of course, it should be you.”“Why should it be me?” the Yang Governor scoffed. “Haven't you always claimed to be Lord Goyo's top confidant and meddled in our alliance's affairs? Now you're chickening out when there's a major issue?”Gladwin's face twitched. “This has nothing to do with cowardice. It's your duty as the leader of the Path Guardian Alliance.”The Yang Governor laughed in exasperation. “You've always been the one gathering intelligence across the myriad realms, boasting that you're better than Yegor from Skyn
That was the first thing he asked after surviving a monumental battle. James patted his shoulder. "The twenty thousand men…" "As long as it's broken," Wyot interjected, staring into the emptiness. "It's a pity the Dark World is gone forever."James wanted to respond, but the other survivors gathered around them. After the battle and the aid of the path source, they had ascended to Path Emperors, becoming top powerhouses in the myriad realms.James nodded, then waved his hand, summoning a path pearl that gleamed with holy light. The light and aura it radiated were enough to make any living being kneel before it.Just as James was about to act, Wyot knelt on one knee, followed by his warriors.James frowned. "Wyot, brothers, you have the right to stand…""We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!" Wyot declared loudly, clasping his fists. His warriors did the same."We will not be Deified until the Leere Tribulation is broken!"Their voices were unified, echo
Then, the Formation of Perception shook violently. When he snapped out of it, he realized that the twenty thousand Doom Race warriors led by Xezal had almost all perished.Among the remaining ones, three were losing their bodies. Hastily, James tossed three path sources into the formation, but it did not stop their bodies from crumbling."Move them out, quickly," urged Zella. "They're under immense pressure inside."James waved his hand and broke the Formation of Perception.Xezal and his remaining warriors—just three of them—appeared in the void. They were tattered and covered in blood. Their hair was unkempt, and they were barely recognizable. These were heroes who had experienced hell.Though wobbling, they stood in battle stances. Their valiance and undying will moved James. He turned his hand and covered them with four path sources, then told them to sit and heal."That's the Doom Race for you. The fact that they survived this titanic battle says a lot about their talent," Z
"Fourth, I have left some treasures for the Yaneiri Clan. They should be enough to establish yourselves in the new world. Fifth, do not be Deified. Never, ever do that. You must keep the Yaneiri Clan safe."Wynton's body contorted, plunging him into further pain. Cracks spread across his skin. "You owe me, James! You owe my clan!" he roared for the last time in his life before crumbling into dust.The light strips that imprisoned him shattered as well, and purple flames lunged at James' light wall, the shockwaves splintering it into fragments before rampaging toward the inconsolable Zella.James flew to Zella, scooped her up, and they took off. The shockwaves from Wynton's self-destruction rapidly spread, obliterating the surrounding formations.But that wasn't the end. Once freed, the shockwave rippled across the Dark World, annihilating everything in its path. Countless universes met their demise.Meanwhile, James protected the remaining Doom Race warriors within the formation,
Wynton was hysterical, but James merely shrugged. “Wynton, they say the last act people do before they die is to be kind. I see none of that in you, and you lost to me.”“And so what?” Wynton roared. “You’re just luckier than me, James! You have a Yin governor as your wife, and she has your back all the time! You would never have come this far otherwise!”James smiled. “Keep going.”“I know you don’t want to owe me any favors.” Wynton glared at him angrily. “You gave me three free attacks to repay me for sparing you in the River of Time.“Now, I’ve given you your children’s past selves back, and you owe me once more. You’re waiting for my terms, aren’t you?”James looked resigned.“Wrong,” Wynton sneered. “I won’t ask for any promises, nor will I give you any chance to repay this debt. Now, you shall owe me a favor you can never repay!”James sensed something was wrong and was shocked. “Wynton!”Wynton, imprisoned, began to burn, flames flickering and licking his body. He roare
"That’s…" The sight of that token filled Wynton with shock. "Y-You’re working with the Shadowborns?""Will you give it to me?" James shot him a threatening look.Wynton shivered, taking a deep breath. Then, a flash of purple light burst forth, and a brilliantly shining mirror flew out from the top of his head.James released Wynton and grabbed the mirror. It resonated with the token, and both items shone blindingly, responding to each other.'It’s true,' James thought. 'The Shadowborn token the master gave me before he left can sense the Nothingness Path Mirror. But why?' Questions swirled in his mind."That mirror will do nothing for you," Wynton said. "I can’t control it, so you can’t either. The only one who can is the Yin governor."He looked at James. "And she’s cleaved in two. Unless you can merge them together, the mirror will not work. However, with just your wife’s half-self, finding Wuia’s current and future selves will be a nigh impossible task."James tucked the mirr
James remained silent. He couldn't muster a response. Now, he finally understood why the Leere Tribulation had been orchestrated and the role his wife played in it.He had initially thought that by destroying the past version of Wuia concealed within the River of Time, he could hurt Wuia. Even if he couldn't stop the Leere Tribulation, he could at least delay it.With more time, he planned to gather additional clues and eradicate all three versions of Wuia, permanently solving the problem. However, his conversation with Wynton had changed his plans.Wynton observed James standing in silence and smirked. "Of course, there's a way to do this."James furrowed his brow.Wynton, brimming with glee, continued, "Kill your wife and the Light Heavenly Path. If they vanish entirely, Wuia will never obtain the Void Spiral. Even if the Leere Tribulation materializes and he returns, his strength will be no greater than before his reincarnation. You'll have enough power to fight him."That was
