Chapter 2180

Sophie said worriedly, “How should I put it? Basically, the Heavenly Path is an absolute existence that

transcends and controls everything, including the life and death of living beings.”

James was still perplexed.

Nova said, “You don’t need to understand it for now. All I can tell you is the purpose of cultivation is to

get close to the Heavenly Path. The closer one gets to the Heavenly Path, the less control the

Heavenly Path has over one.

Sophie nodded and said, “Mhm. Getting close to the Heavenly Path means getting close to the world’s

secret. You’ll be able to predict the future. You may even be able to resist the Heavenly Path and

change the course of fate.”

Their explanation was too profound, and James could not understand.

James asked, “Then, what should I do now?”

Sophie replied, “Go out and complete the challenges, of course.”

Nova nodded and said, “Yeah. Sophie’s right. Plus, I think it’s very unusual for the Provenance to

appear right now. Under normal circumstances, only those of the Emperor Rank can enter the

Provenance. However, this time, it’s open to everyone regardless of their rank. I think the Heavenly

Path deliberately gave this opportunity to everyone.”

Sophie cheered James on. “Good luck, James. I believe you can do it. You’ll benefit greatly if you get to

the beginning of time and learn the world’s secret.”

James nodded and said, “Alright. Then, I’ll go back outside.”

“Go on. Go on.” Sophie waved her hand.

James reappeared in the outside world, pensive.

A burst of golden light appeared on the ground and transformed back into a ring, sliding back onto

James’ finger.

James looked around and scanned the primitive mountain range. He murmured, “I have to travel back

to the beginning of time? The Heavenly Path? Everything sounds so unfathomable.

“But, how do I accept the challenges?”

James was confused.

Just as he was trying to figure it out, a voice sounded.

“Your every action and word in the Provenance will trigger a challenge. However, this is a very

dangerous place, and you might die if you aren’t careful.”

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a white light descended from the sky.

A white token appeared in front of James.

The voice continued to explain, “All the creatures within the Provenance will be given protection. Thus,

if you ever encounter a dangerous situation, crush this token, and you’ll be teleported out of the

Provenance. Of course, leaving will also mean forfeiting your challenge.”

He took the white token before him and put it away.

James murmured, “This sure is a magical place. I didn’t expect to be still protected after entering the

Provenance. Does it mean the Heavenly Path is deliberately protecting us?”

Until now, he still did not know who was speaking to him.

‘Could it be that there’s a mysterious powerhouse hidden in the Provenance? Is he controlling

everything within the Provenance?’

The thought popped up in James’ mind.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought. Sophie and Nova said the Provenance was an

extraordinary place. Thus, no ordinary living being could be capable of controlling this place. The being

controlling it must have been the supreme Heavenly Path.

It was the Heavenly Path that transcended everything.

“Tsk, James. Enemies sure are unavoidable.”

Just as James was deep in thought, a burst of laughter sounded in the distance.
