James wanted to react but could only watch silently as his cultivation rank was indeed low.
Monica was offended on James’ behalf and said, “Sir, why aren’t you saying anything?”
James looked at her calmly and said, “What should I say? There’s nothing much I can say to defend myself. He’s speaking the
truth.”
Monica stomped her feet angrily.
The Great Elder looked at James, then ignored him. He turned back to Jules, saying, “I see you’ve been messing around outside
all this time. Since the conference is about to begin you should quietly remain in Sky City. I still have other matters to attend to,
so I’ll leave first.”
After speaking, the Great Elder turned to leave.
With a flash, he disappeared from their sight.
“Mr. Caden... I...”
Jules said embarrassedly, “We live in a world where strength is valued above all. However, the energy you exhibit is too weak.
You’re formidable so why do you want to stay so inconspicuous?”
He could not understand why James was hiding his true strength.
Even if James wanted to keep a low profile, there was no need to disguise himself as a cultivator in the Sage Rank.
James was rendered speechless. Even if he wanted to, he could not flaunt his strength.
“Just let it be,” replied James calmly.
Jules gave a thumbs up and said, “Impressive. I’m sure you have a good reason to hide your power.”
From Jules’s perspective, James must have had a compelling reason for his every word and action.
Jules brought James into the manor.
Initially, he wanted to bring James to his father. However, Helvius was not in the manor, so instead he sorted out James’
accommodation in the residence's backyard.
The backyard of the manor was in a separate courtyard.
Only distinguished guests of the Elixir Pavilion were allowed to stay here.
James sat deep in thought in the courtyard on a stone chair.
Monica beside him asked, “What are you thinking, Sir?”
James was thinking about the Ancestral God Rank Elixir.
He could tell that the Elixir Pavilion he was currently at was not the one he was trying to find.
Where was the one he was looking for? Where was the Elixir Pavilion that housed the Ancestral God Rank Elixir?
Finding the Ancestral God Rank Elixir was his primary purpose for coming to the Boundless Realm.
The Ancestral God Rank Elixir was related to humanity’s continued survival.
“It’s nothing.”
James snapped back to the present, shook his head, and sighed.
Monica had no idea what beleaguered James but she could tell he was worried about something.
Since his only lead turned out to be a dud, he had to wait for Thea to investigate the Sanctuary of Darkness and see if they had
something to do with the Ancestral God Rank Elixir.
However, the Sanctuary of Darkness was shrouded in mystery, and it would be tough for Thea to investigate them in such a
short time.
100,000 years may seem like a long period, but it would actually pass in the blink of an eye.
James knew he had to speed up his progress.
While searching for the Ancestral God Rank Elixir, he had to also raise his cultivation rank.
After reaching the Boundless Realm and encountering many powerhouses, he realized how weak he truly was.
While James temporarily stayed in Sky City, the woman wearing a purple gown slowly approached a middle-aged man standing
on the west side of the city wall.
The man wore a white robe with his hands crossed behind him. He looked into the distance and at the scenery below him.
The woman walked over and stood beside the middle-aged man. Then she parted her lips. “Pavilion Master.”
