The man’s injuries immediately healed, and he transformed into an elegant man. He took a step forward and disappeared from
the spot.
The next moment, he was already in the Hagios Sect. Even though they had a protective formation, it was nothing but a
decoration in his eyes. Nobody in the Hagios Sect even noticed he had infiltrated.
He appeared atop James’ spiritual mountain.
At that moment, James was trying to learn more about the Ritual Rank. When he felt someone approaching, he immediately
dispersed his aura.
“Sir?” James lit up with joy after seeing the visitor. He asked, “Why are you here?”
The white-robed man looked at James and said, “I sensed a special aura, so I came to take a look.” James frowned and asked,
“Huh? A special aura? What does that mean?”
The white-robed man looked at James and asked, “Do you know what entering this rank means?”
James shook his head, expressing he was clueless.
“It’s a very mysterious rank. Countless living beings have been born throughout the ages, but only a few special beings entered
this rank.”
Suddenly, the white-robed man’s expression became solemn.
“Oh?” James was intrigued.
He looked at the white-robed man ahead and asked, “What kind of cultivation rank is this, sir?”
“Before I explain, there are some other things I must tell you first.”
The white-robed man waved his hand and summoned a table and chairs. He sat down, then motioned for James to do so as
well.
James sat down and stared at the man.
“You went to the Hal I r Zone because you wanted to know what was at the end of the Halcyon Road, right? I’ll tell you
everything,” said the man.
James was overjoyed. He had always been curious to learn the truth. However, the white-robed man had refused to answer him
some time ago. Yet, he was taking the initiative to explain.
Although James was confused by the situation, he did not question anything and simply looked at the man patiently.
The white-robed man suddenly became serious. He took a deep and said, “The Dark World is just one of the many worlds. In
fact, it’s really small and weak.
Outside the Dark World, there are many other vaster worlds.
“The strange star at the Halcyon Road was a powerhouse from outside the Dark World. He invaded the Dark World because he
was injured and needed to absorb power from our world to recover. Long ago, I partnered with many other powerhouses to seal
him away. However, you opened the formation and released him.”
“Did I cause trouble?” James frowned.
The white-robed man waved his hand. “Even if you didn’t show up, he would’ve broken it soon. You’re not to blame.”
James felt slightly more relieved with his words. He looked at the man and said, “Please do continue explaining, sir.”
‘The star is called Xayal. The shadow that appeared was his Natal Primordial Spirit. Until now, we’ve no idea what the real form
of his Natal Primordial Spirit is.”
James asked, “Has any powerhouse successfully left the Dark World and entered a different world?”
The man replied, “Of course. After you reach the eighth stage of the Transcendental Bliss Rank, you can break through the Dark
World’s barrier or leave through the Halcyon Road.
“Does the Ritual Rank have something to do with Xayal?” James frowned.
The man answered, “Yeah. Xayal is the lord of one of the worlds out there. He was injured in a fight with an unknown
powerhouse. He needed Genesis Power to recover, so he infiltrated our world, which was weaker. The rank you’ve entered is
called the Riual Rank. Those who enter this rank have collected many boons throughout their lives.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to make a breakthrough in your cultivation rank.
Your entire existence will return to the Dark World.”
James’ expression became solemn.
The man continued, saying, ‘To put it simply, the Dark World will slowly swallow you up.” “Is Xayal the cause of this?” James
asked with furrowed brows.
