Quintina had strongly requested it, so James had no choice but to let her into the Celestial Abode.Then, James turned around and left. After determining the direction, he moved forward quickly.His appearance had already been leaked. If he walked around in the Ancient Realm like this, his whereabouts might be discovered. So, he made a mask.It was a silver-colored mask that obscured half of his face. Only the bottom half of his face was visible.A day later, James appeared in a city. Since he was unfamiliar with the Ancient Realm, he needed to purchase a map in order to locate the Welkin Academy.Even though he was currently a cultivator, he still needed to eat. It was a habit he had picked up on Earth. After not eating for a while, his heart felt empty, as if he had lost something.The city in the Ancient Realm was quite prosperous. There was a lot of foot traffic.In a restaurant in the city, a man in a black robe and a half-silver mask was savoring some delectable fare slowl

The Welkin Academy had already made the necessary arrangements for its disciples.The people who remained at Welkin Academy were all powerful cultivators. These cultivators came from all over the world, not just Welkin Academy.Now that the Ancient Realm was about to fall into chaos, the headmaster and the others could no longer care about the Dragon Abyss. Instead, they gave James the token to unlock the Dragon Abyss.The headmaster said, “The Dragon Abyss can only be accessed once every fifty years. When it’s time to unlock it, the token is required. If the Dragon Abyss is not opened during that time, there will be a wait of fifty years before it can be opened again. According to my calculations, the time has come to unlock the Dragon Abyss. There’s still a month before it closes. You can still make it if you hurry now. If the time has passed, you won’t be able to open it even with the token.”James did not object and immediately responded, “Okay. If that’s the case, I’ll head ov

James locked his gaze on Lucifer.Lucifer was too unusual. He was the son of the Demon Emperor. He was the sole descendant of the Demon Emperor. With such an identity, he would always be a blasphemous presence, no matter where he was.“I saved you, and you want to kill me?” questioned James.“No.”Lucifer’s expression was calm. He said, “I never gave the order to kill you. The ones who want to kill you are the other members of my race, because the token in your hands belongs to the Azurean Clan, and the clan I belong to is the Hadean Clan.“We are all of the Demon Race. However, since the battle in ancient times, and after my father died in the battle, my clan’s standing in the Demon Race plummeted, and my clan began to be suppressed. This caused friction between the two clans.”Only after hearing that did James understand. There were actually different clans within the Demon Race.“Besides, I believe you won’t die.” Lucifer smiled faintly.“Why?” asked James.Lucifer pointed

Sophie did not figure out how to resolve the Second Calamity, but she did gather some information.In ancient times, humans did something that was against the Heavenly Path. As a result, humans were no longer the wisest of all creatures, and the Heavenly Path stopped protecting humans.However, she still had no idea what exactly humans had done in the distant past.“Is there really no way to put an end to the Second Calamity on Earth?” asked James.Sophie said, “I don’t know about that. However, there is always a way. A solution can always be found. Try not to worry too much. Everything has been predetermined. Take it one step at a time.”After saying that, Sophie stopped talking.“James,” Lucifer’s voice rang out again.James returned from his thoughts and looked at him.Lucifer said, “You were able to get here. That means you have the token to the Dragon Abyss. Open the Dragon Abyss now. I want to go inside, find the Dragon Vein, and transplant it into my body.”Quintina cou

The Dragon Energy from the Dragon Vein was extremely potent. However, James’ rank had risen to the Immortal Ascension Fifth Stair. If he wanted to make another breakthrough, he would need an enormous amount of energy.Even though he had Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and was fast at absorbing and refining energy, he would need half a year to reach the Immortal Ascension Sixth Stair at his current speed.Moreover, this was a situation with sufficient energy. He also needed to compress his rank and ensure that he reached the extreme at each rank. This made it difficult for him to reach the Immortal Ascension Sixth Stair.He forgot everything and concentrated solely on cultivating.In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.During this half-year of cultivation, James’ rank had reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension Fifth Stair. He was one step away from entering the Immortal Ascension Sixth Stair. Nonetheless, he chose to compact his rank.He forcibly compressed the Immortal A
