Chapter 2963
At that moment, a group of people walked over from a distance.
Everyone present was shocked by their appearance and froze and regarded the approaching group with respect.
Someone murmured softly, “l-lt’s the Martial Reverend.”
James looked into the distance. The group approached hastily and quickly arrived at the stone wall.
Xainte stepped forward, looked at the man in the lead, and greeted him respectfully,
“Sect Leader.”
The person leading the group was none other than the Martial Reverend.
He went to the Malevolent Demon Residence in the depths of the Great Wilderness and brought some powerhouses.
Along the way, he did not encounter any monsters or sense any traces of the
Malevolent Demon. So, he advanced into the deepest part of the Malevolent Demon Residence without a second thought.
The Martial Reverend nodded lightly and began observing the stone wall before him.
Seeing him scrutinize the stone wall, everyone remained silent and waited with bated breath for his opinion.
One day passed and then another day too. Eventually, three days were gone in a blink of an eye.
The Martial Reverend took a deep breath and said, “He’s right. It’s a puzzle related to the Sacred Blossom.”
Everyone was startled when they heard the Martial Reverend’s remark.
All of them turned to James in astonishment.
Even a renowned veteran like the Martial Reverend took three days to confirm it was a Sacred Blossom puzzle.
On the other hand, James figured it out after briefly observing it.
Could James actually be a powerhouse with strength that was far superior to the Martial Reverend and knowingly chose to
conceal himself?
Everyone stared at James in disbelief.
The Martial Reverend also looked at James and asked,” Young Man, how did you know this is a Sacred Blossom puzzle?”
James did not recognize the Martial Reverend but could sense that he wielded considerable influence.
From Xainte’s respectful demeanor and greetings, James deduced that the person in front of him was the strongest powerhouse
in the Eidolon Realm and the Paragon Sect’s Leader.
Despite being in the presence of a Grand Emperor, James was not cowed. He replied calmly, “I have my ways, of course. I’m
sure you’ll be able to solve this formation since you’re the Paragon Sect’s leader.”
Surprisingly, the Marital Reverend shook his head doubtfully and said, “Although I can tell it’s a Sacred Blossom Puzzle
Formation, solving it is beyond my ability. To solve this puzzle, one must at least understand all the various cultivation paths in
the universe.
“Unfortunately, I only have a scant understanding of the cultivation paths of Karma, Time, Space, Life, Death, and Reincarnation.
I don’t have enough knowledge to solve this puzzle. If I forcefully break this formation, I’ll definitely suffer repercussions. The
best-case scenario is that I lose my cultivation base. The more severe consequence would be losing my life along with the
opportunity to reincarnate.”
“Oh my!”
Hearing the Martial Reverend’s words, all the powerhouses gasped in horror. They were relieved they did not act rashly.
Otherwise, they would have doomed themselves.
All of them had a very cursory understanding of the Sacred Blossom Puzzle Formation. These formations were not to be
reckoned with. So much so that, even a powerhouse like the Martial Reverend could not solve it.
However, Emperor Jabari in the Celestial Abode smiled faintly and said, “Although it’s a Sacred Blossom Puzzle Formation, it’s
incomplete. The Karma and Five Cultivation Paths of the Sacred Blossom are makeshift. I can tell the person who set up this
formation isn’t proficient in these cultivation paths yet.”
James asked, “Emperor Jabari, can you solve the formation?”
“Of course. My strength from when I was in my prime is vastly different from mine now because I’m currently only a soul
fragment. However, ordinary Grand Emperors are far beneath me.”
