"I've already discussed this matter with the Aljair Family elders over the past few days," Javon continued. "They don't have any objections either."After all, he had personally destroyed those five families. No one dared to question how those territories were distributed.Maxwell immediately stood up and cupped his hands. "Javon, I truly don't know how to thank you."Before he could finish speaking, however, Javon immediately rose from his seat. "That's enough, that's enough." He laughed as he walked toward the door. "If this keeps up, I'll start feeling uncomfortable. We'd better go take a look at the place instead."Seeing Javon practically escaping from the hall, several elders couldn't help laughing. They knew the young man had never been comfortable receiving excessive respect from people older than himself.Not long afterward, the group left the council hall and headed toward one of the territories formerly belonging to the families that had been wiped out.The atmosphere along

"Patriarch, I have to admit the Lincoln Family chose an excellent location. This place is perfect for becoming our new headquarters.""I don't know whether Theron escaped or died, but either way, all of this has become a huge gain for the Walker Family, hahaha!"One of the elders who had been laughing all this time suddenly frowned. "But, Patriarch, we're openly taking over all of the Lincoln Family's assets. What if the young man who wiped out the five great families comes to hold us accountable?"The smile on Edmund's face slowly faded before turning into a disdainful grin. He snorted softly and waved his hand."What is there to fear? If the Walker Family is always afraid of taking risks, then don't ever dream of rising in Telavip City." His eyes were filled with confidence. "It's already been several days since those five families were destroyed, yet that young man hasn't shown up to take over this territory. Doesn't that mean he simply isn't interested in their assets?"He paused

Javon was slightly surprised by the question.Maxwell let out a soft sigh before continuing. "I'm not getting any younger, and my strength is limited. Now that the White Jade Hall has returned to Telavip City and is establishing a new foundation, we need someone strong enough to lead this organization."Javon fell silent for a moment. If it were the Aljair Family, there was no way he could take over as the family head. But the White Jade Hall was different. He had inherited the organization's core techniques, so in terms of both ability and status, he was indeed qualified to become its successor.Even so, after giving it some thought, Javon still shook his head. "I'm sorry, Hall Master." His voice remained calm. "I've grown used to doing things my own way. If I had to manage the entire White Jade Hall every day, I don't think I could handle it. There are still many other matters I need to resolve."Maxwell raised a hand and chuckled before Javon could explain further. "That's enough.

"Only cultivators who had reached the Dominion Stage were capable of leaving behind a Bloodline Inheritance for future generations. Without an expert at that level, it was impossible for a family to establish a bloodline foundation."That explanation finally made Javon understand why such inheritances were so rare. It was no wonder only a handful of families possessed them.Elmer continued, "That's why the ancient clans of the Inner Zone almost never regarded the families outside as true clans. In their eyes, the powers outside were nothing more than third-rate organizations that had yet to establish a Bloodline Inheritance. If they couldn't even pass down their family's foundation to the next generation, they weren't worthy of being called a clan."Javon finally understood the perspective of those ancient clans. The status of the families in Skymer was vastly different from that of the rulers within the Inner Zone.After pondering for a moment, he looked up again. "Then... how many D

One month later.BAANG!A violent explosion of energy erupted from the back mountain of the Aljair Family, causing the entire family complex to tremble violently."What happened?"The disciples immediately stopped their training and turned toward the source of the explosion, while the elders swiftly shot toward the back mountain after sensing the tremendous fluctuation of energy.Amid the thick cloud of dust, a massive boulder was pushed aside before Javon stepped out of the ruins, brushing the dust off his clothes."I finally made it."This breakthrough had produced an energy wave far beyond his expectations, causing the cultivation chamber where he had secluded himself for an entire month to collapse completely.During that period of seclusion, he had consumed twelve million Aetherstones to push his cultivation into the Ninth Level Celestial Stage."Young Master Forger... you've advanced another level?"The elders who had just arrived stared at him with wide eyes. Their voices even
