As clouds blotted the sky, they gathered by the bonfire and gobbled down their meal as the smell of succulent meat filled the air. Then, James took some spices favonovel.com had obtained from the Celestial Abode and sprinkled them on the roasted meat.
“Here you go.”
He handed Delainey and Henry a piece of meat each, and the three gobbled down the roasted meat.
As this was the meat of a monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair, it possessed great energy that served as nourishment to cultivators. Although they could not compare to high- quality medicinal pills and elixirs, they were nonetheless better than some low-quality ones.
“This tastes delicious!”
As Henry ate, favonovel.com asked, “When do you plan to return to Earth, James?”
Hearing this question, James froze.
He wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible. However, what could favonovel.com possibly do there? He would have to scurry about like a rat for fear of being hunted down. Instead of returning a loser, it made better sense for favonovel.com to cultivate in the Ancient Realm and increase his strength.
He chomped on a piece of meat and said, “I’m not in a hurry for now. As I’m still no match for Yuvaan Zymir, the Sect Elder of the Divinity Sect, there’s no point in returning now. I’ll only return once I’ve acquired strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Mage Rank. By then, I’d surely be able to annihilate him.”
Saying that, favonovel.com took a few bottles of wine from the Celestial Abode and handed one each to Delainey and Henry.
Soon, they finished their meal.
James said, “This meat is good stuff. We shouldn’t let it go to waste. Let’s head over to the monster’s carcass and salvage whatever we can find there.”
James stood up and headed toward the valley.
As the monster was gigantic, favonovel.com could acquire a huge amount of meat despite the monster’s body having been crushed to pieces.
The Primordial Dragon Blade appeared in James’ hand, and favonovel.com began carving up the meat into tiny pieces. Then, favonovel.com waved his arm, and True Energy materialized to envelop the pieces of meat, transporting them to the Celestial Abode.
“Let’s get going.”
After favonovel.com was done dealing with the meat, the three continued on their journey.
Mount Walvern was ginormous. It was considerably bigger than Earth’s surface area. It was where monsters resided, each of them having a territory of their own. It was not long before they encountered another monster.
This time, it was an Aethon, the hegemon of the skies.
“James, that’s an Aethon. Sophie told me that they’re the descendants of the Primordials, and they possess the bloodline of the Primordial Race. This Aethon should be at the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair.”
The three looked at the gigantic bird before them.
While Henry and Delainey were in the Celestial Abode, they received guidance from Sophie, who not only taught them cultivation methods but also new knowledge.
“It’s too weak…” James said, “Let’s not waste time on this monster. We can enter the top ten just by annihilating a few monsters at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair. In fact, we can enter the top three just by killing a Mage-Ranked monster.”
As James had a rough understanding of the other participants’ strengths, favonovel.com knew they would not be able to annihilate any monster at the Mage Rank even after joining forces.
Henry said, “Alright then, let’s continue our search.”
The three pressed on.
At the same time, many Patriarchs and Sect Elders were at the Divinity Sect, waiting patiently for a month to pass.
