As long as that resource remained, it would sooner or later produce new Aetherstones. At the very least, this journey had not been entirely in vain."Javon, are we still going to visit the other families?" Elmer asked."No." Javon shook his head. "There's nothing left for me to gain from them now."He slowly clenched his fist. "The true energy in my body has already reached its absolute limit. What I need now is a safe place to attempt a breakthrough into the Overhaul Stage."Elmer fell silent, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Javon... your cultivation speed is truly terrifying. Even the monstrous geniuses of the Inner Zone might not be able to match you."Javon merely chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "Well... you're not the first person to say that."After leaving the Draken Family, they immediately took advantage of the cover of night and headed toward the Valyren Desert.This journey was filled with risks, but it also offered tremendous opportunities.Javon had absolute

Javon rubbed his forehead and let out a long sigh. "Raviel, honestly..."At first, he had assumed this place was a meditation chamber left behind by some great expert. Who would have thought that what he had found instead was the royal family's ancestral hall?Recalling Raviel's earlier explanation, this small world had been left behind by Solmara's first king. If that were the case, then the rows of ancestral tablets filling the hall most likely belonged to Solmara's kings from countless generations.Javon cupped his hands respectfully. "Forgive my intrusion. I only need a place to cultivate in seclusion. My apologies if I disturb the rest of my seniors."After offering a brief salute, he turned around and left the hall without hesitation. After all, he had gone through considerable effort to come here. There was no way he would abandon his plans simply because he had stumbled upon an ancestral hall.Besides, those kings had died thousands of years ago. Javon did not believe they wou

The phenomenon Javon had imagined never appeared. Instead of a heavenly calamity, a colossal illusionary figure tens of thousands of meters tall stood upright in the sky, its immense form stretching across the heavens as though it covered the entire small world.Its face was completely concealed, making it impossible to identify. Even so, the pressure it radiated was so terrifying that the surrounding space seemed to freeze.Before that overwhelming aura, Javon felt as insignificant as an ordinary mortal forced to stand before a Celestial Stage cultivator."Ugh!"The instant his eyes met the illusionary figure's gaze, an unimaginable pressure crashed down upon him. It felt as though a colossal mountain had fallen from the heavens and crushed him beneath its weight. Every bone in his body shattered instantly, while his meridians burst apart one after another under the overwhelming force."Damn it!"Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.Enduring the agony that nearly shattered hi

"This is truly strange. According to the ancient records, every cultivator who breaks through to the Overhaul Stage should trigger a heavenly phenomenon. The Heavenly Ordinance is even capable of destroying a Personal Realm.""Could it be that the Personal Realm left behind by King Valyren possesses a unique property that no other Personal Realm has?"Hearing their speculation, Javon merely gazed into the distance while quietly hiding his guilt. He had never experienced the heavenly lightning described in the ancient records. Instead, the only thing that had appeared before him was a colossal crimson spear that seemed to exist solely to kill him.As he recalled the incident, Javon became even more certain that the spear's power had far surpassed anything a Celestial Stage cultivator could possibly wield. Stranger still, the Personal Realm had remained completely unharmed.In his eyes, that terrifying spear, which should have been capable of reducing everything to ruins, had failed to

The first two methods were certainly impressive, but Soul Revival truly shook Javon to his core. Everyone knew that death was an absolute law that could not be defied. Only now did he understand why the technique's description boldly claimed that its user could challenge the will of heaven and earth."Even if it can't be used on myself, this is still an extraordinary medical technique."Javon could not help but smile. Just as he had expected, his master, the Grand Healer, truly possessed countless incredible inheritances. After finishing his examination of the Book of Life, he shifted his attention to the Dragon Vein.Compared to before, the Dragon Vein had undergone a slight change. On the first page of the technique, an ancient character had appeared, carrying the meaning of "Prayer." Although its meaning was different, Javon remembered that the Yin-Yang Mahasage Family also used the character Qi in its family name, leading him to suspect that this symbol might be related to the ide
