Then, they left the inn.
There were many people outside the inn. Among them were the strongest fighter of the Eidolon Realm, the Martial Reverend—
Sect Leader of the Paragon Sect, the Great Elder of the Paragon Sect, and the Lord of Southern Plains City.
The Lord was highly respectful toward the Martial Reverend. As Yevpraksiya walked out of the inn alongside James, she was
stunned upon seeing the powerful figures outside.
What was going on? Why were there so many powerful figures outside the inn?
When he saw JAmes, the Martial Reverend greeted him respectfully, “Master James, should we depart?”
James nodded slightly and said, “Yes.”
The Martial Reverend made a welcoming gesture and said, “After you.”
James walked to the front.
Meanwhile, Yevpraksiya could not describe her shock.
This was the Martial Reverend, the most powerful individual of the Eidolon Realm, yet he was so humble before James.
Yevpraksiya was confounded. Confused by everything, she simply followed after James stiffly.
They headed to the Teleportation Formation of the Southern Plains City and traveled to Paragon City, the city in which the sect
was established.
Upon their arrival, the Martial Reverend brought James and the others out of the city.
There was an undulating mountain range outside, where there was an abundance of Spiritual Energy and the scenery was
picturesque.
Soon, they reached the main peak of the Paragon Sect.
James received VIP treatment and was provided with an independent courtyard at the back of the mountain of the main peak.
In the courtyard, James was sitting on a stone chair. Thea and Xainte were sitting beside him, while Yevpraksiya stood at the
back.
Thea asked, “What should we do next?”
James was lost in contemplation. After some time, he said, “Back then, Emperor Jabari said that the mastermind who controlled
you could be a remnant of one of the forces of the Primeval Age. They are searching for the Ancestral God Rank Elixir. Though
this was only mere speculation on his part, he must have his reasons to make such an assumption. Next, we’ll go separate
ways.”
“You’ll stay at the Paragon Sect and assist the Martial Reverend in investigating the forces behind the mysterious individual. I, on
the other hand, will head to the Holy Realm and sneak into the Elixir Pavilion. I’ll investigate whether that Elixir Pavilion is the one
mentioned by Xandros and whether the Ancestral God Rank Elixir is still located there.”
James gave a simple analysis of their next course of action. Now that it had come to this, this was the only way.
James was also concerned about Thea’s safety while she investigated the mysterious individual at the Paragon Sect. Though
she was a Quasi-Emperor at the Ninth Tribulation, this was neither Earth nor the universe. It was a world that had existed since
the Primeval Age and did not experience the chaos of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age and the Primordial Age. There were
many powerful individuals in this world. So, he handed Thea the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.
“This is the Ancestral God Weapon left behind by the Ancestral Sword Master. Take this in case you encounter any danger.”
An Ancestral God Weapon was terrifying. With Thea’s current strength, she could stand against a Grand Emperor at the Second
Heaven with the Ancestral God Weapon.
Thea did not hesitate much and accepted the Divine Sword.
Xainte looked at James and asked, “Father, when will you be heading to the Holy Realm?”
James furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Stop calling me that. Just call me Dad.”
Xainte answered respectfully, “Dad.”
James smiled and said, “There’ll be a discipleship examination in the Elixir Pavilion of the Holy Realm, which I plan to sneak into.
Since there’s plenty of time before the examination starts, I intend to remain at the Paragon Sect and plan my next move.”
Since James had plenty of time, he did not rush things. He planned to use this opportunity to spend time with Thea and his
daughter.
