Chapter 3429

Mia responded, “This is where the monster is. According to my clan’s records, this challenge is only

officially overcome by entering the depths of the palace and defeating the monster there.”

James’ eyebrows tightened. The power of a monster who guarded the first obstacle of Mount

Nothingness must be extraordinary. Currently, his physical power was only the Grand Emperor’s Rank

Seventh Heaven, which is indefinitely the rank of a powerful figure in the Apocalypse Age. However,

there were so many figures of the Grand Emperor Rank and so many Ancestral God Ranks that James

pretty much amounted to nothing.

He looked at Mia and asked, “How did you know?”

Mia hesitated for a while.

Hadrian encouraged Mia and said, “Don’t hide anything from James. Just say it.”

Mia sunk into brief thought and said, “A few centuries ago, this universe was going through its most

glorious age it has ever seen. Many geniuses were produced during that age. Even in a small world,

there would be forces to reckon with. And in that age, the most frightening of them all was the eight

sisters of the Callahan family.

James listened carefully. He had heard of these before. He knew that the age when Thea was born

was the most glorious age of them all.

Mia continued and said, “I have a brother who was born in that Age. He’s called Mago Londyn, a

genius that one can only encounter every ten thousand years.novelebook.com Within an Epoch after

his birth, he already joined the Ancestral God Ranks, becoming a Mystical Ancestral God. In another

Epoch, he turned into a Terra Ancestral God. His power was immensely frightening. There was surely

no reason for him to not become a Caelum Ancestral God.

“Nevertheless, in the Grand Tournament of the Universe, he met Bria Callahan, who has already

acquired the Caelum Ancestral God rank. In that battle, my brother lost thoroughly, completely. Since

he returned, he couldn’t ever pick himself up again. He lost his confidence so much that his cultivation

base fell back to the Mystical Ancestral God Rank. After abandoning himself for nearly another Epoch,

he woke up and decided to enter Mount Nothingness. He has never returned since.

“In the beginning, he would send messages back to the clan whenever he failed an obstacle, and the

clan would record each one down. Until one day, no news from him was ever heard again, as if he

disappeared completely from this universe. The reason why I came here isn’t to look for some legacy of

the Lord of Nothingness. It’s to search for my lost brother.”

After hearing Mia’s words, James understood everything completely. She knew about all this thanks to

the messages sent by her brother.

He enquired further, “How many obstacles do we have ahead of us?”

Mia shook her head and said, “This, I’m unsure. I remember that my brother challenged himself

through around eighty challenges before he completely disappeared.”

James’ eyebrows tightened again. Eighty-plus challenges? How many dangerous spots were there

within this mountain? His time was limited. It was very likely that he would not be able to enter the

Palace. Thus, he planned to look for a site to cultivate immediately after overcoming this black

underground palace.

“Oh right, the Grand Tournament of the Universe you spoke about… What’s that?” James was curious.

The three looked at him, confused. The Grand Tournament was the Universe’s big news, how could

James not have heard of it?

Sensing the odd glances from the group, he scratched his head awkwardly, “I’ve been too engrossed in

my cultivation that I’m rather ignorant about what happened in the outside world.”

Mia explained patiently to James, “The Grand Tournament of the Universe is the biggest event in the

universe. One will be held every Epoch at Mount Heavenly Path. A battleground will be set up for every

cultivation rank. novelebook.com As for the Ancestral God Rank, there will be two battlegrounds. One

is for the Mystical Ancestral God Ranks. The other is for the Terra Ancestral God Ranks and those

higher than such ranks. The fights among these ranks are the most formidable and attention-drawing

ones. Within these ranks, a Caelum Ancestral God will join them.”

“The top three of every cultivation rank will be rewarded generously. This is also why some cultivators

stay in a certain rank for a very long time. They wish to join the Grand Tournament, get into the top

three, and win the generous awards given by Mount Heavenly Path.”

James understood completely upon hearing Mia’s explanation.
