Chapter 2104

From the conversation alone, Cody immediately knew that James had reservations about him.

He smiled and said, “To be honest with you, I don’t mean any harm. I only know that your wife is the

greatest fighter on Earth who can even defeat Herculeans. However, her strength will only attract

unwanted attention. Besides, there are descendants of some ancient orthodox. factions in certain

Sealed Realms who have been given strict orders to annihilate everyone who has the Supreme

Spiritual Root on Earth.”

“But why?”James asked, puzzled. “Why would they want to do such a thing?”

Cody explained, “That’s because they were the ones who went after Earth’s traitors long ago. They

were worried that those who have the Supreme Spiritual Root would pose a threat to them in the long

run.”

James had a rough understanding of the historical context. However, not even Marcello from the

Demonic Realm knew about the specifics. Believing that Cody would not know much either, he chose

not to question him further.

Cody said, “You should be on your guard, and also warn your wife not to show herself in public as

much as possible. Although she’s strong, the cultivators who have arrived on Earth. from the Sealed

Realms are true geniuses. Even Magnus, who challenged you to a duel, wouldn’t stand a chance

against them.”

Upon hearing this, James fell silent.

Soon, Cody’s subordinate returned.

A beautiful lady appeared before Cody and said, “Master.”

“Mhm.” Cody nodded slightly and said, “Get straight to the point.”

“Understood.” The woman nodded and turned to look at James, saying, “Based on our investigation,

Magnus Quinnton came from the Overworld. He’s the disciple of the greatest cultivator in the

Overworld and the Son of Heaven’s senior, whom you’ve killed. To avenge him, he issued you a

challenge.

“Magnus’ strength should not be underestimated. He has crossed into the Immortal Ascension rank

and is now at the Immortal Ascension Third Stair. As his strength greatly exceeds that of yours, you

stand no chance of winning against him.”

Hearing this, James’ expression turned grim.

The Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair?

He was only at the Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate’s peak.

He would have to pass through six layers of the Herculean rank before arriving at the Immortal

Ascension rank. Besides, he had no idea about the ranking system for the Immortal Ascension rank.

Now, he knew just how great the power disparity was.

How should he proceed?

Even if he entered the Time Chamber and accelerated his cultivation, there was simply too

little time left for him. There was no way he could catch up with Magnus.

Cody smiled and said, “Indeed, he’s much stronger than you are. In my opinion, you should just admit

defeat. Apologize to him sincerely and he might just spare your life.”

Cody gave his opinion, and James took a deep breath.

Looking at Cody, Jame asked, “Cody, as you came from a powerful Sealed Realm, you should know

more about the ranking system of cultivators than me. How many levels are there in the Immortal

Ascension rank? What’s after Immortal Ascension? How powerful are the strongest cultivators in the

Sealed Realms?”

Cody looked James in the eye and answered honestly, “The Immortal Ascension rank has a total of

nine stairs, with each more terrifying than the one that comes before it. After crossing the Ninth Stair,

you will then reach the Mage Rank. Once you accomplish this, you get to cultivate a Yogacara of your

own. This rank has a total of three levels.

“After the Mage Rank, you’ll arrive at the Tribulation Rank. After that, it’ll be the Sage Rank.

“As for the ancient orthodoxy within the Sealed Realms, they are all guarded by cultivators at the Sage

Rank.”

Upon hearing this, James’ expression turned grim. There really was no end to the road of cultivation.

He was simply too weak at the moment.

After taking a deep breath, he asked, “How strong are those who are competing for the providence on

Earth?”

Cody shook his head slightly and said, “I don’t know either. That’s because the Sealed Realms are

isolated from one another. As such, I don’t know the exact strength of the others from different Sealed

Realms.”
