Chapter 1672
The Omniscient Deity was dissatisfied with being ordered around by James.
He was in the intel business, not running errands for others.
“I’m not your subordinate, James. Who are you to order me around?”
He looked at James with furrowed brows.
James glanced at him and said, “This should be a trivial matter for you, right?”
“It is indeed very trivial. Fine, I’ll only help you this once.”
The Omniscient Deity pointed to a courtyard and continued speaking, “You can stay over there for the time being.”
“Alright.” James gently nodded.
Then, he turned around and walked off.
After James left, the Omniscient Deity wore a smirk as he murmured, “This kid sure is arrogant.”
James approached the courtyard the Omniscient Deity had pointed out to him and entered the house situated in
there.
The house had a very simple layout with only a bed and chair.
James sat in a lotus position on the bed and took out a Novenary Golden Pill.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had obtained seven Novenary Golden Pills from King Quavon’s Mausoleum a year ago.
He had consumed one and given another to Sky.
There were five pills left.
He planned to take another one.
His strength had already reached the Ninth Stair of the Skyward Stairway, and he was only one step away from
becoming a ninth-ranked grandmaster.
He activated the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals’s cultivation method, and nine waves of energy seeped from his flesh
and bones, quickly gathering in his elixir field. The energies quickly transformed into True Heavenly Yang Energy,
and the energy surrounding him rapidly increased.
The Omniscient Deity and Master Delphinia were still discussing some stuff not far away.
Suddenly, they felt a powerful energy sweeping toward them.
The Omniscient Deity looked at the courtyard and said with a frown, “James is really strong. He has already
ascended the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair.”
Master Dephinia said, “He acquired the Novenary Golden Pills from King Quavon’s Mausoleum one year ago. He
must’ve consumed one in the last year. He’s probably planning to take another one to break
through to the ninth rank to slay the dragon.”
“It’s not going to be that easy.”
The Omniscient Deity replied, “How could it be so easy to step into the ninth rank? Even the Novenary Golden Pills
can only increase one’s True Energy and cultivation. We’re talking about ranks, not one’s cultivation. A person who
has reached his cultivation limit won’t be able to increase it anymore.”
“You’re saying he won’t be able to enter the ninth rank?” asked Master Delphinia.
The Omniscient Deity said, “It’s not absolute. It depends on his comprehension.”
At that moment, James mobilized all his strength and tried to break into the highest rank.
James felt like he was outside in the courtyard, and a stairway appeared in front of him. He ascended the stair step
by step.
He climbed the first, second, third… seventh, eighth, and ninth stairs.
Soon, he reached the Ninth Stair.
Upon stepping on the Ninth Stair, he felt like the world around him had changed.
He could sense his surroundings.
Looking up at the sky, he could see a gray atmosphere layer.
He wanted to step into the sky and break through it.
James took a step forward and appeared under the atmosphere layer. Suddenly, a pressuring force appeared in the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsky and came down on him.
He was blasted back down to the Ninth Stair.
At that moment, James’ physical body was still inside the house of the courtyard. However, his body slightly tilted
forward, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
After a brief moment, he sat up straight.
Meanwhile, his illusory body on the Ninth Stair also stood back up.
He gathered his whole body’s True Energy into his fist.
“Break!!!” James roared.
He raised his fist and flew against the opposing force toward the gray atmosphere layer above the Ninth Stair
Unfortunately, the atmosphere layer was solid, and although James’ strength was formidable, he could not break
through it.
“What’s going on?”
James calmed down and stared at the gray atmosphere layer.
“Is it because I’m not strong enough?”
James settled on the thought.
At that moment, he opened the eyes of his physical body, which was still sitting in a lotus position. Then, he took out
a Novenary Golden Pill and swallowed it.
