Chapter 1675

The Omniscient Deity watched as James left.

With James’ current strength, the Omniscient Deity knew it was only a matter of time before he stepped

into the ninth rank.

It might be impossible now, but James would surely step into the ninth rank in a few decades or even a

hundred years later.

“This world is finally getting more interesting ”

The Omniscient Deity’s lips formed a faint smile.

While James was leaving Mount Jade, Tapio was kneeling on the ground in a palace within an

underground cavern near Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains.

Sitting on the platform, Tyrus asked, “How’s it going?”

Tapio replied, “Master, James has been in a closed-door meditation in Mount Jade for the past month.

Judging from the energy emanating from him, he must’ve already reached the Skyward Stairway’s

Ninth Stair’s peak. As for whether he’s broken into the ninth rank, I can’t be certain.”

Tyrus gently nodded and said, “Alright. He’s already the most outstanding martial artist we’ve had in a

thousand years. It’s not that easy to step into the ninth rank. He’s still young and doesn’t have enough

life experience. His current life isn’t perfect, and he has many dreams that he hasn’t achieved. When

he has enough experience, he’ll naturally step into the ninth rank.”

Tapio asked, “Master, I don’t understand why you’re treating James so well. He’s already peerless, and

you’re still keeping your eyes on him. Plus, you already knew about the miraculous Novenary Golden

Pills. Why didn’t you eat them yourself? Why did you point James to it…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

“You’ll know what you’re allowed to know, but don’t ask questions about things you shouldn’t know.”

“Understood.”

Tapio swallowed his remaining words.

“That’s enough: You’re dismissed. Continue keeping your eye on James. If there aren’t any mishaps,

Sky must’ve also reached a similar rank as James. The two of them have an agreement, and Sky

should be planning to provoke the Blood Race. Secretly follow James and report his every move to

me.”

Tyrus gently waved his hand.

“Understood.”

Tapio stood up, turned, and left.

After he left, Tyrus got up and walked toward the palace inside the underground cavern. Soon, he

reached the deepest part of the cavern.

There was a luxurious palace situated there. The palace walls were decorated with luminous stones,

making it seem like daytime in the dark palace.

Tyrus walked into a room and called out softly, “Father.”

“Come in.”

A weak and fragile voice sounded from inside the room.

Tyrus pushed open the door and walked inside.

The room was quite empty and did not even have a bed.

A man that looked about thirty years old with long, white hair sat on a mat on the floor.

His face was ruddy, but his eyes were sunken, and he looked like he had been through a lot.

“Father, I haven’t visited you for a long time,” said Tyrus.

The person sitting on the mat looked at Tyrus and asked softly, “Any significant happenings in the

outside world recently?”

“I’m here to update you, Father.”

The last time Tyrus had come to visit was a hundred years ago.

His father had been meditating in seclusion, and he dared not disturb him unless it was important.

A hundred years ago, Sol was caught up in war, and there was a battle against the Gu Sect. Tyrus had

come to report all the events that had happened.

“Since the battle against the Gu Sect a hundred years ago…”

Tyrus began to narrate the events of the past hundred years. He started from the events a hundred

years ago, then about the Mount Thunder Conference and the slaughtering of the Spirit Turtle. On top

of that, he also spoke about Thea and James’ growth.

“Thea has extracted and converted her cultivation base. As a result, she’s lost her memory, while her

cultivation base has been integrated into her blood. Thus, it hasn’t been lost. As long as she restores

her memory and reabsorbs the energy in her blood, her strength can recover in a few months.”

“As for James, it’s been a year since he’s gotten the Novenary Golden Pills, and his strength has

reached the peak of the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. He’s only one step away from the ninth rank.
