Chapter 2297


    As clouds blotted the sky, they gathered by the bonfire and gobbled down their meal as the smell of


    sulent meat filled the air. Then, James took some spices he had obtained from the Celestial


    Abode and sprinkled them on the roasted meat.


    “Here you go.”


    He handed Diney and Henry a piece of meat each, and the three gobbled down the roasted


    meat.


    As this was the meat of a monster at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair, it possessed great


    energy that served as nourishment to cultivators. Although they could notpare to high-quality


    medicinal pills and elixirs, they were nheless better than some low-quality ones.


    “This tastes delicious!”


    As Henry ate, he asked, “When do you n to return to Earth, James?”


    “…”


    James froze.


    He wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible. However, what could he possibly do there? He


    would have to scurry about like a rat for fear of being hunted down. Instead of returning a loser, it


    made better sense for him to cultivate in the Ancient Realm and increase his strength.


    He chomped on a piece of meat and said, “I’m not in a hurry for now. As I’m still no match for


    Yuvaan Zymir, the Sect Elder of the Divinity Sect, there’s no point in returning now. I’ll only return


    once I’ve acquired strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Mage Rank. By then, I’d surely be


    able to annihte him.”


    Saying that, he took a few bottles of wine from the Celestial Abode and handed one each to


    Diney and Henry.

    Soon, they finished their meal.


    James said, “This meat is good stuff. We shouldn’t let it go to waste. Let’s head over to the


    monster’s carcass and salvage whatever we can find there.”


    James stood up and headed toward the valley.


    As the monster was gigantic, he could acquire a huge amount of meat despite the monster’s body


    having been crushed to pieces.


    The Primordial Dragon de appeared in James’ hand, and he began carving up the meat into tiny


    pieces. Then, he waved his arm, and True Energy materialized to envelop the pieces of meat,


    transporting them to the Celestial Abode.


    “Let’s get going.”


    After he was done dealing with the meat, the three continued on their journey.


    Mount Walvern was ginormous. It was considerably bigger than Earth’s surface area. It was where


    monsters resided, each of them having a territory of their own.


    It was not long before they encountered another monster. This time, it was an Aethon, the hegemon


    of the skies.


    “James, that’s an Aethon. Sophie told me that they’re the descendants of the Primordials, and they


    possess the bloodline of the Primordial Race. This Aethon should be at the Immortal Ascension’s


    Seventh Stair.”


    The three looked at the gigantic bird before them.


    While Henry and Diney were in the Celestial Abode, they received guidance from Sophie, who


    not only taught them cultivation methods but also new knowledge.


    “It’s too weak.”


    James said, “Let’s not waste time on this monster. We can enter the top ten just by annihting a


    few monsters at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair. In fact, we can enter the top three just by


    killing a Mage-Ranked monster.”


    As James had a rough understanding of the other participants’ strengths, he knew they would not


    be able to annihte any monster at the Mage Rank even after joining forces.


    Henry said, “Alright then, let’s continue our search.”


    The three pressed on.


    At the same time, many Patriarchs and Sect Elders were at the Divinity Sect, waiting patiently for a


    month to pass.
