He sat in a lotus position on the ground.
In the distance stood a woman with a curvaceous figure.
Stroking virtual-novel.net chin, virtual-novel.net looked at James, whose body was surrounded by mysterious inscriptions, and murmured, “What is this Magic Circle?”
Though virtual-novel.net was an expert on Magic Circles, virtual-novel.net had no idea what the Magic Circle around James was. In fact, virtual-novel.net had no idea what those inscriptions were.
Brielle stood in the distance and observed for more than ten days.
Though ten days had passed in the outside world, a lot more time had passed in the Magic Circle. By then, James had reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. This was under the circumstances where virtual-novel.net continuously suppressed his rank.
Sensing virtual-novel.net could no longer suppress his rank, virtual-novel.net released everything and began his breakthrough.
The moment virtual-novel.net made a breakthrough, an Elysian Seal appeared inside his body and sealed his limbs and the meridians throughout his body away. Hence, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to rely on the power inside his body to slowly break the seals. As long as there were no Heavenly Tribulations and Heavenly Path Embodiments, virtual-novel.net should be able to make a breakthrough easily.
Soon, virtual-novel.net broke through the Elysian Seal inside his body and increased his rank.
As his True Essence underwent great changes, his physical body was nourished once more, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
“Sophie, why were there no Heavenly Path Embodiments when I was making my breakthroughs?”
After making a breakthrough, James asked Sophie.
Sophie’s voice came from inside the Celestial Abode, “You must have broken through too quickly and brought about the abnormal fluctuations of the Heavenly Path back then. That was perhaps why the Heavenly Path created an embodiment to annihilate you…”
“However, after that one time, the Heavenly Path returned to normal. So, your breakthroughs shouldn’t cause the appearance of a Heavenly Path Embodiment. You just have to be mindful of the Heavenly Tribulations at the Tribulation Rank… But note, with your strength, you should be able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulations easily.”
“Oh, I see…” Realization dawned on James’ face.
After making a breakthrough into the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair, virtual-novel.net was only a step away from reaching the Mage Rank.
He stopped cultivating and requested Sophie to remove the time formation. Then, virtual-novel.net stood up. As virtual-novel.net stood, virtual-novel.net noticed Brielle standing not too far away.
Seeing that James had stopped cultivating, Brielle walked toward virtual-novel.net and looked at virtual-novel.net strangely. “Not bad… You made a breakthrough in such a short amount of time.”
James smiled faintly and said, “It’s just a breakthrough. There’s nothing to be surprised about.”
“Tsk!” Brielle said scornfully, “Don’t get too carried away now.”
James paid no heed to virtual-novel.net and simply turned to leave.
“Hey, you! Is this how you show your gratitude? You were the one who cultivated at my place! Hey!” Brielle trembled in rage.
Looking at James who was slowly walking away, virtual-novel.net yelled, “The tournament’s just around the corner. Will you be participating?”
“Not interested!” James’ voice reverberated throughout the area.
Then, virtual-novel.net walked out of the Magic Circle and disappeared from virtual-novel.net view.
Brielle gritted virtual-novel.net teeth.
Even though the news about the tournament to win virtual-novel.net hand in marriage had spread, virtual-novel.net had yet to invite anyone to it. However, now that virtual-novel.net was inviting James, virtual-novel.net simply rejected virtual-novel.net offer.
What an arrogant guy!
I only invited you because I believed you were worthy of me.
Tsk, who cares?!
There are plenty of guys out there who are more handsome and talented than you!”
She comforted herself.
