The Three Elders were Grand Sect Elders, the highest authority figures of the Polaris Sect. Theoretically speaking, even the Archbishop would have to be deferential toward them. However, the Three Elders had been sitting around doing nothing for decades. They did not concern themselves with the affairs of the sect. After a discussion with a few Sect Elders, Archbishop Polaris left the main hall and headed to the mountain behind the Polaris Sect. There was a cliff near the mountain. On the foot of the mountain, there was a simple-looking wooden house. In front of the house, three statues could be seen. Polaris appeared before the cliff and looked at the statues before him, his mind in a trance. He remembered that the last time he was here was thirty years ago. In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed. After briefly staring at the statues, he leaped into the air and flew toward the house. Soon, he arrived at the house. Upon closer inspection, Polaris realized that the stat

Polaris waved slightly and a document on the table instantly flew toward James. “James, this is detailed information about Rodent. Have a look.” James received it flawlessly and opened the document. A photo was attached to the topmost part of the documents, and it was a little bit blurry. Since the man was wearing a mask and only half of his face was revealed, James could not discern his appearance. Polaris said, “Since we don’t have much time, this is the most comprehensive information I’ve compiled. Rodent is a cautious man. He always wears a mask in public spaces. This photo is the only one I obtained.” “Mhm,” James said and began scrutinizing the photo. Name: Yasser Leonard Nickname: Rodent Age: Approximately 146 years He was born in Westborough City of Sol. Losing his parents at a very young age, he incidentally obtained an Internal Martial Arts cultivation method and became an ancient martial artist. During the defensive war against foreign forces, he was a trai

Under the guidance of Archbishop Polaris, James headed to the summit of the mountain behind the Polaris Sect. Many Sect Elders followed close behind. At the bottom of the cliff behind the mountain, there was a natural cave. Though the entrance was rather small, it was wide and spacious inside. “After you, James.” Archbishop Polaris beckoned James to enter. After traversing a winding road, they arrived at a stone house. The stone house was artificially constructed and rather spacious inside. The area was around 500 square meters, and the stone wall was twenty meters in height. Meanwhile, patterns and texts were inscribed on the surrounding walls. Some recorded cultivation methods, while others recorded martial art techniques. Most, however, were about sword techniques. “We have arrived, James. This was where my sect’s founder entered a closed-door meditation. During his meditation, he inscribed everything he learned on the stone wall. However, centuries passed and no Archbis

“The Nine Ordeals… What does it mean? The Nine Destructions… “To cultivate this martial art, one has to suffer the Nine Destructions.” … James continued reading. The cultivation method of the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals was recorded at the back. After he finished reading it, James furrowed his eyebrows. Though the martial art was intriguing, the conditions were harsh. One would first have to cripple one’s cultivation. Not a single trace of True Energy could remain. The five organs must be destroyed, the meridians must be severed, the Elixir Field had to be extinguished, True Energy had to be completely removed, and one must be on his last breath. This was called the Nine Destructions, or simply the Nine Ordeals. Theoretically speaking, one could only cultivate this martial art if he was on the verge of death. Upon seeing this, James shook his head slightly. It was impossible. No ordinary man would ever cripple his own martial art to cultivate the Nine Scriptures of O

At Durandal’s Royal Military Region… James was standing in front of a helicopter. Before him was the Queen of Durandal. Though James came here on a military exchange between the two nations on the surface, he left to sort out his affairs. By the time he returned, the military exchange was already completed. “Are you really going back?” The Queen of Durandal looked at James. Although she was in Durandal the whole time, she knew about the events that unfolded on Mount Olympus. That was because the Knights of the Louis family who participated in the conference had narrated the chain of events to her. She knew that James had defeated Archbishop Polaris, ranked third on the Elysian Ranking, and saved the martial artists who were abducted. “Mhm.” James nodded and said, “Actually, I came here to sort something out. Now that the matter is resolved, I’ll be returning to Sol.” The Queen of Durandal was reluctant to let James leave. She planned to further enhance her cooperative r
