Chapter 2045

The energy emanating from Thea’s body was forceful. James was able to roughly infer Thea’s current

cultivation rank from the energy alone.

Her cultivation base must have already reached Supernatural Consummation and was barely a step

away from becoming Herculean.

The custodian turned to Xandra and said, “From now onward, you’ll have to stay here to cleanse the

Demonic Energy within you.”

“I understand.” Xandra nodded.

The Demonic Energy within her had tormented her for thousands of years. She was glad to finally get

rid of it once and for all.

“Ms. Custodian…”

James spoke hesitantly.

The custodian looked at him and asked, “Yes? What else is the matter?”

James mustered up the courage and said, “A Celestial Abode had appeared in Mount Bane…”

He explained the events that took place at the Celestial Abode in detail.

“I’m aiming to get through the ninth barrier, but I’m not strong enough. I’d like to train here for a while

under your guidance. The ninth barrier’s defender said I needed to compress my True Energy and

reach my rank’s true zenith.”

The custodian knew of everything that happened on the earth.

However, her main duty was to protect the Chamber of Scriptures. She did not want to

interfere with other matters relating to the earth.

Since James asked for her guidance, she did not refuse him.

“I know a good place to train. I’ll bring you there and guide you for a while.”

Hearing this, James was thrilled.

“Thank you, Ms. Custodian.”

After speaking, he looked at Thea, sitting in front of the formation on the altar. Thea’s energy was

incredibly powerful. She sat in a lotus position and seemed to have completely removed herself from

the outside world. Although he had been in her vicinity for a while, Thea did not once get up.

“How’s Thea doing?” asked James.

The custodian replied, “She’s in a state of focused meditation and has no perception of the outside

world. Don’t worry. She’s completely fine, and a significant amount of Demonic

Energy within her body has been purified.”

Hearing this, James was relieved.

Afterward, the custodian arranged a spot for Xandra and instructed her on how to purify her Demonic

Energy.

James waited about half an hour until the custodian was finally done attending to Xandra.

The custodian walked over to James. “Follow me.”

“Alright.”

James followed the custodian into the deepest level of the underground cave.

The paths were winding, and there were some luminous white pearls on the surrounding rocks. The

pearls illuminated the dark cave, making it seem almost like daytime.

Soon, they arrived at the deepest level.

The Demonic Energy that veiled the area was dreadful.

Black Demonic Energy oozed out from the cracks in the grounds and surrounding walls.

Its effects were so strong they caused James’ heart to race. It felt like something was peering at him

from the dark, making him shiver from the eerieness.

James could not help asking, “Where are we, Ms. Custodian?”

The custodian replied, “Another world lies beyond that seal ahead. It’s a world that was a battlefield for

countless strong powerhouses in ancient times. Your current rank is unstable, and most of your

achievements were attained through the use of elixirs or Empyrean objects. Thus, you need to

constantly refine and concentrate your True Energy to make it pure.”

“Mhm.”
