Chapter 2268

A slight leak had already contained such intense energy.

How strong were these flames?

James could not wrap his head around the idea. He put his worries aside and sat in a lotus position on

the ground. Then, he activated his Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and quickly absorbed the energy

around him.

The Novenary Golden Body Siddhi could not only be used for body refinement but was also a splendid

cultivation method that could absorb a variety of energies and either convert them into sustenance for his

body or into his own True Energy.

He absorbed the aggressive energy around him and refined it into pure energy of his own

James began to focus all his effort into cultivating.

One day later…

Boom!

The True Energy flowed like a raging torrent, surging through his body’s meridians.

His energy increased tremendously, and he had a breakthrough.

After cultivating for just a day in the Pagoda of Flames, his True Energy increased, and he reached the

Sixth Layer of the Herculean rank.

“I’m improving at such an amazing pace.”

James took a deep breath.

The energy in the Pagoda of Flames was much better than any tonic or elixir.

With the rate at which his True Energy grew, it would not take long for him to reach the Immortal

Ascension rank.

James continued to cultivate.

Other cultivators could only absorb a limited amount of energy before needing refine the energy to

continue to increase their True Energy.

However, this did not apply to James.

His physical body was reformed by the Demon Race’s Demonic Lotus. Thus, he could practice

continuously without limitations that normal bodies faced.

He cultivated for a month on the eighth level of the Pagoda of Flames.

A month later, his rank was at the peak of the Herculean’s Sixth Layer.

Moreover, he had constantly been condensing his True energy.

Had he not, he would have already reached the Immortal Ascension.

He continued to repeatedly condense his True Energy.

Half a month passed, and James could no longer condense the True Energy in his body.

“C’mon, surpass the limit!!!!

After he could no longer condense his True Energy, he stopped. Then, he chose to release his True

Energy. The True Energy seeped through his whole body, and he entered a state of emptiness.

The scorching energy surrounding him entered his body and tempered his physical body as well as his

True Energy.

What was the meaning of Immortal Ascension?

One’s physical body and True Energy are transformed upon entering the Immortal Ascension.

After reaching this rank, one’s physical body would undergo a transformation, even if one was not a

body-refinement cultivator.

One’s True Energy would also evolve from True Energy to True Essence.

James’ True Energy rapidly transformed.

There were two types of True Energy in his body- True Heavenly Yang Energy and True Demonic Yin

Energy.

His True Energy slowly transformed and became much purer- from True Heavenly Energy and True

Demonic Energy to True Heavenly Essence and True Demonic Essence.

James’s body also constantly transformed, improving his physical strength tremendously.

The process lasted for three days.

James’ True Energy and physical body were completely reformed three days later.

Previously, his physical strength was equivalent to the Immortal Ascension’s Sixth Stair, but he was now

at the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair. Even though his cultivation rank had just entered the Immortal

Ascension stage, he could easily take down an opponent on the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair with

a punch.

“Huff!”

James stood up, clenched his fist, and sensed the power flowing through his body.

“My physical strength should be good enough to nab me first place in the Ancient Realm’s Grand

Tournament, right?”

James had a calm and confident look on his face.
