Since Cody only recently arrived on Earth himself, favonovel.com did not yet have the time to investigate the cultivators from the other Sealed Realms.
“What about your world?” James asked.
“You mean the Ethos Realm?” Cody smiled and said, “I consider myself rather knowledgeable about the affairs of the Ethos Realm.”
James listened intently.
Cody explained, “My master told me that only those below a hundred years old are eligible to compete for the providence that would soon appear on Earth. That could only mean that the cultivators here are younger than that.
“In the Ethos Realm, the strongest amongst the younger generation should be…”
After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com continued, “He should be at the Mage Rank and have already. cultivated his Yogacara.”
Upon hearing this, James was stunned.
The Mage Rank?
Are the Outsiders that terrifying?
To reach the Mage Rank, favonovel.com would have to cross the Supernatural’s Nine Inner Gates, the Herculean’s Six Layers, and the Immortal Ascension’s Nine Stairs.
Currently, James was only at the peak of the Supernatural’s Eighth Inner Gate. He simply did not stand a chance.
Cody looked at James’ grim expression and said with a smile, “Even in the Ethos Realm, those who reach the Mage Rank before the age of 100 are few and far in between. I believe the same goes for the other Sealed Realms. That’s why I think that most cultivators here are around the Immortal Ascension rank.”
Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were only a handful who had reached the Mage Rank. However, if they chose to join forces, the earthlings would not stand a chance.
Now, James could only hope that they would only have the providence in mind and would not pester the earthlings. Otherwise, this would be disastrous for the earthlings.
“Thank you.” James stood up and said, “We’ll meet again.”
Cody looked at James and asked, “Are you really going to fight Magnus? You must understand that the power disparity between the both of you is huge. No matter what secret Supernatural Art you perform, you won’t be able to compensate for your weak strength.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Leaving this remark, James turned to leave Bane City.
He knew favonovel.com had no choice but to answer Magnus’ challenge. Otherwise, Wrymstead would be the target of reprisal if favonovel.com turned down his challenge.
Just as favonovel.com left Bane City, a voice came from behind him.
“James…”
James turned his head.
A man wearing a white robe was swiftly approaching favonovel.com from a distance away. His hair was long, and his skin was as fair and delicate as a woman’s.
“Marcello?” James froze.
Marcello appeared before James and looked at him, asking, “Two years ago, I entered closed-door meditation in the hopes of seizing the Celestial Abode three years later, but I hurriedly returned after learning that the first providence is upon us. Unfortunately the Celestial Abode has changed hands, and I don’t know who currently owns it.”
“Mhm…” James nodded and said, “By the time I arrived, the Celestial Abode had been taken away by someone else. I have no idea where it is right now either.”
