Regardless, James wholeheartedly accepted their wishes.
They gathered and conversed.
Langston suddenly asked, “By the way, since you retreated into the mountains, why have youdecided to leave seclusion? What do you plan to do next? Why don’t you come to Lothian?”
Langston extended an invitation to James.
“Although Lothian is still far off from equalling Sol, I have an unlimited lifespan. As long as Lothiancontinues to develop for a few more decades or even centuries, it will surely become one of themost powerful nations in the world. In the near future, it could also be the only superpower in theworld.”
Langston was originally of noble birth. However, he was defeated in a power struggle a millenniumago. To stage his comeback, he began courting many powerful martial artists. However, as hereached the pinnacle of his power, he sensed the presence of the Omniscient Deity. Fearful of hisstrength, he faked his death and lived a life of seclusion for a millennium.
Currently, there was little to no power disparity between him and the Omniscient Deity. Now, the ageof the ancient martial world had arrived. How could he continue to stay hidden from the outsideworld?
James turned down his offer with a smile.
Langston smiled faintly and remained silent. He knew that Thomas Caden had established the stateof Japura. Surely, he must have extended an offer to James as well. If James turned down hisgrandfather’s offer, why would he accept his?
“Langston, when did you cross into the ninth rank?” James asked.
After brief contemplation, Langston said, “Ninth rank, huh? It should be around a millennium agowhen I failed to slay the Spirit Turtle.”
“In that case, how did you cross into the ninth rank?” James asked.
“Hahaha…” Langston laughed. He knew what James was trying to ask.
He said, “My journey to the ninth rank went rather smoothly.”
James listened intently.
Langston continued, “Only by breaking the realm barrier of the Ninth Stair can one cross into theninth rank. However, the realm barrier is bizarre. You can’t make a breakthrough through TrueEnergy alone.”
“Mhm.” Hearing this, James nodded slightly.novelbin
He knew this from personal experience. Although his True Energy had fully maxed out, he could notbreak through the realm barrier. Besides, his capacity for True Energy had increased once more. Hehad no idea what was going on at the moment.
Langston looked at him and said, “It is my understanding that there are several ways to breakthrough the Ninth Stair’s realm barrier.
“One, you can use external force.
“Two, the power of desire.
“Three, the power of nature.”
James was confounded.
What the hell was Langston talking about?
Upon seeing James’ puzzled face, Langston explained, “External force refers to treasures thatpossess enormous power such as Dragon Essence. If I’m not mistaken, that was how Sky made abreakthrough into the ninth rank. Before obtaining the Dragon Essence, he was stuck at the peak ofthe Ninth Stair.”
