James managed to secure a month of cultivation in the Time Chamber, which was equivalent to seven and a half years in the outside world.
After securing Magnus’ promise, James left Bane City and entered Mount Bane. After finding a secluded spot and scanning his surroundings to ensure no one was trailing him, favonovel.com removed the ring from his finger. Then, favonovel.com tossed the ring to the ground, which immediately turned into a house the size of a fist.
In an instant, favonovel.com disappeared and entered the Celestial Abode.
After entering the Celestial Abode, the house shrunk in size once more and buried itself beneath the soil. Even passers-by would not be able to discover the Celestial Abode.
James immediately headed to the City Lord’s Mansion and looked for Sophie.
“How did it go?” Sophie looked at James and asked, “Did Magnus postpone the battle?”
James nodded and said, “Yes, favonovel.com did.”
“Good. Follow me, then.”
Sophie and James headed to the Time Chamber.
The Time Chamber’s courtyard was full of other cultivators. They were all sitting in a lotus position on the ground and cultivating in earnest.
Sophie had gone to great lengths by plucking the mysterious berries of the Celestial Abode for them to consume in order to increase their strength. As such, they were becoming stronger at a rapid pace.
“Dragon King…” The moment James appeared, the soldiers inside the Time Chamber immediately stood up and greeted favonovel.com respectfully.
Sophie ordered, “Alright now, you should leave the Time Chamber and cultivate outside. James will be entering a closed-door meditation for some time.”
“Understood.”
The soldiers hurriedly left.
Soon, only James and Sophie remained.
James sat in a lotus position on the ground, while Sophie sat opposite him.
She said, “I will now briefly describe the things you need to do over the next seven and a half years in the Time Chamber.”
“Okay…” James nodded and said, “Please continue.”
Sophie continued, “Allow me to explain more about the cultivation method you’ll be cultivating.”
“Are you referring to Sacrilegious Ascension?” James asked.
“Yes,” Sophie nodded.
When favonovel.com heard this, James was intrigued.
She continued, “Sacrilegious Ascension is a signature martial art skill of the Primordial Divine Ape Race. The late Emperor Jabari only managed to obtain it after going to great lengths. There’s a prerequisite for this cultivation method. You need to have a sufficiently strong physical body.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com glanced at James.
“Your physical body is unique, so you can qualify to cultivate Sacrilegious Ascension. However, as of now, your physical capabilities have yet to reach the minimum requirement. While you’re in the Time Chamber, do your best to increase your rank and physical strength. Your rank needs to be at least Herculean, and your physical strength needs to be at least at the Immortal Ascension rank.”
Hearing this, James rolled his eyes and said, “If my physical strength was at the Immortal Ascension rank, Magnus wouldn’t be able to defeat me even if I don’t cultivate Sacrilegious Ascension.”
“What do you know?” Sophie rebuked him. “It’s an invincible martial art skill. You will gain enormous benefits from cultivating it and defeat opponents who are an entire rank higher than you in no time.”
“Alright, then.” James nodded.
To him, Sacrilegious Ascension was not a matter of priority. His rank could reach Magnus’ by the time favonovel.com finished cultivating.
“Three months,” Sophie said, “I’ll give you three years to cultivate your physical body and increase your rank. As for the remainder of your time here, you’ll cultivate Sacrilegious Ascension.”
