Sophie and the Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian reassured favonovel.com that Earth’s Third Calamity would be happening anytime soon. Thus, favonovel.com had enough time to cultivate. He had to grow stronger in order to avert the impending Third Calamity.
James scanned his surroundings again.
It was the first time James had come to the Demon Realm, and favonovel.com knew very little about it. He had no idea about the Demon Realm’s current situation, nor did favonovel.com know where favonovel.com was.
After looking around for a bit, favonovel.com chose to travel in a random direction.
It did not take long before favonovel.com heard a commotion.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge explosion went off ahead of him. The ground shook, and the mountain range crumbled to dust instantly. Following the explosion, a terrifying force swept toward favonovel.com like a tsunami.
“What the f*ck?” James sensed the threatening force and backed away in fear.
Although favonovel.com reacted quickly, favonovel.com still ended up being struck by the force. Wounds covered his body and favonovel.com instantly turned into a bloodied mess. If it wasn’t for his Demonic Body, favonovel.com would have died the moment. the force made contact with his body.
Right then, a defensive force came out from his ring and protected favonovel.com from the onslaught.
James hovered in the air and watched as the force swept past him. Everything in the force’s path was obliterated.
Several million kilometers of land around the force’s epicenter was completely flattened in an instant.
Sophie’s voice echoed from the Celestial Abode. “It’s a fight between very strong people…”
“Huff!” James sucked in a sharp breath.
“How strong must they be to have such destructive power?”
Sophie smiled and said, “The road of cultivation stretches on endlessly. You’d merely be considered a beginner in your current state. The Sage Rank you’ve heard so much about is actually at the bottom of the ladder when it comes to cultivation. Sages are only considered strong because of the unique situation on earth…”
“You’re in the Demon Realm-the strongest among the Seven Realms of the universe. There’s an abundance of exceedingly talented people here. I suggested going to Demon Realm because I wanted you to see for yourself what a real powerhouse is like and to broaden your horizons.”
“Ms. Sophie, could you tell me the ranks that come after the Sage Rank?” James wanted to know what lay beyond.
He only knew Grand Emperors were the strongest in the Primordial Age. Unexpectedly, another rank beyond that appeared in the Primeval Age called the Ancestral God Rank. He was utterly clueless on matters relating to the other ranks.
Sophie’s voice came from the Celestial Abode again. “The Sage Rank consists of six main ranks, which are further divided into thirty-six stages. The six main ranks are Sage, Sage King, Sage Emperor, Great Sage, Holy Sage, and Divine Sage…”
“The First to Sixth Stages encompass the Sage rank. The Seventh to Twelfth Stage is the Sage King rank. Then, the Thirteenth to Eighteenth Stage falls under the Sage Emperor rank. When you reach the Nineteenth to Twenty-Fourth Stage, you’re considered a Great Sage. The Twenty-Fifth Stage to Thirtieth Stage is called Holy Sage rank. Lastly, the Thirty-First to the Thirty-Sixth Stage is when one reaches the Divine Sage rank.”
“And… After the Sage Rank lies the Divine Rank. The Divine Rank is divided into three stages, called the Three Divine Stages. After the Divine Rank is the Emperor Rank, which you already know about.”
James listened carefully to Sophie’s explanation on the cultivation ranks.
After hearing there were still so many ranks that favonovel.com had yet to encounter, favonovel.com was dumbfounded.
His current physical strength had reached the Mage Rank, and favonovel.com could kill a Sage if favonovel.com unleashed his full strength. He considered himself a powerhouse, but favonovel.com was humbled when favonovel.com realized how weak favonovel.com was after learning of the other cultivation ranks.
“I-I still have a long way to go to become a Grand Emperor…” James stammered uneasily.
“Haha!” Sophie laughed and said, “You’re really naive. You’ve only cultivated for a mere handful of years. The universe has existed for a very long time. Only a handful of people had become Grand Emperors in this long history.”
“The higher you climb in your cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Many cultivators at the Sage Rank take millions to tens of millions of years to break through one stage, let alone get to the Divine Rank.” James smirked and said, “That’s because they’re weak. If it were me, I’d progress significantly in a very short period…”
“I believe in you, so do your best. You’ll have a great future ahead of you and will definitely shine brightly. I look forward to seeing you stand at the top of the Seven Realms and become unrivaled throughout the universe”
