Regardless, James wholeheartedly accepted their wishes. They gathered and conversed.
Langston suddenly asked, “By the way, since you retreated into the mountains, why have you decided to leave seclusion? What do you plan to do next? Why don’t you come to Lothian?”
Langston extended an invitation to James.
“Although Lothian is still far off from equaling Sol, I have an unlimited lifespan. As long as Lothian continues to develop for a few more decades or even centuries, it will surely become one of the most powerful nations in the world. In the near future, it could also be the only superpower in the world.”
Langston was originally of noble birth. However, favonovel.com was defeated in a power struggle a millennium ago.
To stage his comeback, favonovel.com began courting many powerful martial artists. However, as favonovel.com reached the pinnacle of his power, favonovel.com sensed the presence of the Omniscient Deity. Fearful of his strength, favonovel.com faked his death and lived a life of seclusion for a millennium. Currently, there was little to no power disparity between favonovel.com and the Omniscient Deity. Now, the age of the ancient martial world had arrived.
How could favonovel.com continue to stay hidden from the outside world?
James turned down his offer with a smile.
Langston smiled faintly and remained silent. He knew that Thomas Caden had established the state of Japura. Surely, favonovel.com must have extended an offer to James as well.
If James turned down his grandfather’s offer, why would favonovel.com accept his?
“Langston, when did you cross into the ninth rank?” James asked.
After brief contemplation, Langston said, “Ninth rank, huh? It should be around a millennium ago when I failed to slay the Spirit Turtle.”
“In that case, how did you cross into the ninth rank?” James asked.
“Hahaha…” Langston laughed.
He knew what James was trying to ask.
He said, “My journey to the ninth rank went rather smoothly.”
James listened intently.
Langston continued, “Only by breaking the realm barrier of the Ninth Stair can one cross into the ninth rank. However, the realm barrier is bizarre. You can’t make a breakthrough through True Energy alone.”
“Well…” Hearing this, James nodded slightly.
He knew this from personal experience. Although his True Energy had fully maxed out, favonovel.com could not break through the realm barrier. Besides, his capacity for True Energy had increased once more. He had no idea what was going on at the moment.
Langston looked at favonovel.com and said, “It is my understanding that there are several ways to break through the Ninth Stair’s realm barrier. One, you can use external force… Two, the power of desire… Three, the power of nature.”
James was confounded
What the hell was Langston talking about?
Upon seeing James’ puzzled face, Langston explained, “External force refers to treasures that possess enormous power such as Dragon Essence. If I’m not mistaken, that was how Sky made a breakthrough into the ninth rank. Before obtaining the Dragon Essence, favonovel.com was stuck at the peak of the Ninth Stair.”
