Elmer smiled casually after hearing the explanation. "Once someone reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, innate talent is no longer the primary factor. You simply need to find Sherly a higher-level cultivation technique. As long as the technique is powerful enough, that bottleneck will gradually disappear."Elmer's words immediately caused Javon's eyes to light up.Only then did he realize something he had overlooked all this time."You're right... I almost forgot about that.""But it doesn't seem possible. The Divine Yin-Yang Art can only be cultivated by men."Inside the Tranquil Hall, Javon Forger repeatedly tried to pass his divine technique on to Sherly. Unfortunately, every attempt ended in failure, as though there was an insurmountable restriction. Sherly's cultivation simply could not merge with the technique, leaving Javon with nothing but a long sigh while Sherly looked at him with a puzzled expression."My dear wife, then learn this Pure Aether Technique first."Javon rummaged th

Arguments, curses, and protests erupted from every direction. The family leaders who had been sitting calmly moments ago became restless, and several of them immediately stood up with anger written all over their faces."Young Master Javon, isn't this nothing more than outright robbery?" Alaric asked as he narrowed his eyes. Although he tried to restrain himself, his voice was still filled with anger. "On what grounds does the White Jade Hall have the right to demand Aetherstones from us? Do you consider yourselves the rulers of this region?""That's right! Why should we pay Aetherstones to the White Jade Hall? Is this some kind of protection fee? They have no such right!""This is ridiculous! I've never heard of such a tribute in all these years. So the only reason you invited us to this banquet was to extort us?"A wave of protests continued to erupt without end. Nearly every family leader voiced their objections, causing the atmosphere to grow increasingly tense and filled with hos

"Impossible... This young man has already reached Level Nine of the Celestial Stage?""In Skymer's entire history, there has never been such a young cultivator with strength this terrifying.""No wonder he dares to act so domineering. With power like that, there truly aren't many people capable of standing against him."Whispers of shock spread throughout the venue. Only now did everyone truly understand why Javon had dared to challenge so many families at once.At such a young age, his cultivation had already surpassed that of most of the family patriarchs present."Young Master Javon truly deserves to be called the most outstanding figure of this generation."Alaric let out a long sigh before cupping his fists respectfully.A moment later, he tossed a storage pouch filled with Aetherstones toward Javon without attempting to bargain in the slightest.Javon briefly inspected its contents before handing the pouch to Queen."Take it. This is our family's monthly tribute."Seeing Alaric

"Patriarch Aljair, this is far enough."Not far from the Aljair Family's main gate, Javon cupped his fists respectfully toward Alderon. The Patriarch had personally escorted him out of the family estate, and if Javon had not stopped him, the old man would most likely have continued accompanying them much farther.Alderon stroked his beard with a reluctant expression. "Javon, be careful on your journey. I'm also entrusting Elmer to your care. After you leave, I'll protect Sherly and the others to the best of my ability, so you don't need to worry about anything.""Thank you very much, Patriarch Aljair."Javon truly felt at ease leaving the Aljair Family behind. Ever since the five great clans had been annihilated, there was hardly any force left that dared provoke the family.After saying his farewells, Javon immediately took Elmer into the sky.Only after the two figures had completely disappeared beyond the horizon did Alderon let out a soft sigh before turning around and returning t

The burly man even licked his lips before letting out a soft laugh. "Come to think of it..." he said, staring at Elmer without blinking, "Leave the girl here as well. After that, you can leave with your life."His tone was casual, as though the decision was already set in stone. His four companions laughed along, looking at Elmer with gazes that would disgust anyone.Elmer's brows immediately furrowed slightly. Their stares made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had faced all kinds of opponents throughout her life, yet eyes filled with such naked lust still stirred a deep sense of disgust within her.Meanwhile, Javon's expression did not change in the slightest. He merely looked at the five men with an indifferent face, as though he were looking at five people who were already destined never to leave this place alive.Javon simply looked at them expressionlessly. "I never kill people who aren't even worthy of me knowing their names.""Heh? Kid, it looks like you really don't know
