He looked at Benedict and asked, “Am I right?”
Benedict nodded slightly and said, “You’re right. I joined the Sanctuary for Curse Magic to obtain greater power. I also wish to
replace the Elixir Pavilion. However, I’m not being threatened or coerced by anyone.”
James said, “You only have two options at the moment. One, you die. Two, you betray the Sanctuary and help the Pavilion
annihilate them.”
“Hahaha...” Benedict snickered. “How naive, James. You don’t know how powerful the Sanctuary is. Even with my help, the
Pavilion may not be able to annihilate the Sanctuary.”
“Is that so?”
James smiled and said, “Silvester and Helvius have regained their strength. One of them is a Seventh Heaven Grand Emperor,
and the other is at the Fifth Heaven. Would the Sanctuary dare attack with the both of them guarding the Pavilion?”
Benedict responded coldly, “Even if they have regained their strength, the Sanctuary can still annihilate them with ease.”
“What if I say I have another cultivator at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven on my side?’ James asked.
Hearing this, Benedict glanced at James. He could not see through him.
As he stared at James, he asked, “What about your strength?”
“My physical strength alone is at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven.” James briefly described his strength. Of course, this
was not his true strength but rather the strength he borrowed from Emperor Jabari.
James summoned the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and played around with it.
Benedict’s gaze was fixed on the Divine Sword. As a Grand Emperor, he could sense the immense power of the sword, which no
Imperial Weapon could compare to.
James said, “This sword has been passed down since the Primeval Age. Since you’ve heard of the Ancestral Talisman Master,
you should know the Ancestral Sword Master. The Sword Master was the one who created the Five Great Sword Realms.
Though the Ancestral Talisman Master’s Curse Magic is well-renowned throughout the ages, the Ancestral Sword Master’s
strength is not beneath his. Meanwhile, this sword is called the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword. This is an Ancestral God Weapon the
Ancestral Sword master wielded.”
Then, James summoned the Five Elements of Genesis and continued, “The Five Elements of Genesis were in the hands of the
Five Ancestral Masters of heaven and earth in the Primeval Age. Using the Five Elements of Genesis, they created the
groundbreaking Elemental Inversion. As we all may know, everything beneath the Heavenly Path is worthless and insignificant.
However, Elemental Inversion is capable of matching the Heavenly Path.”
James casually put Elemental Inversion away and summoned the Infinity Steles, which were in the minimized version.
“The Infinity Steles are divine objects that have existed since the creation of heaven and earth...”
James’ treasures appeared one by one.
Though Benedict’s expression was composed, sweat beaded on his forehead. He could not believe that a single person could
possess so many treasures. Who was James? How did he possess these priceless treasures that tugged at the heartstrings of
even Grand Emperors? Most importantly, what was his rank?
These were the questions on his mind.
However, he knew that James only had a single objective in mind, and that was to convince him to betray the Sanctuary.
After some time, he took a deep breath. Looking at James, he asked, “What do you want me to do?”
Hearing this, James smiled faintly. He knew that he had succeeded in convincing Benedict.
James said coldly, “Very simple. I just need you to betray the Sanctuary and assist the Pavilion in annihilating them. Of course,
you won’t be doing this for free. Once everything’s over, I will teach you Curse Magic.”
