Chapter 2339
The Dragon Energy from the Dragon Vein was extremely potent. However, James’ rank had risen tothe Immortal Ascension Fifth Stair. If he wanted to make another breakthrough, he would need anenormous amount of energy.
Even though he had Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and was fast at absorbing and refining energy,he would need half a year to reach the Immortal Ascension Sixth Stair at his current speed.
Moreover, this was a situation with sufficient energy. He also needed to compress his rank andensure that he reached the extreme at each rank. This made it difficult for him to reach the ImmortalAscension Sixth Stair.
He forgot everything and concentrated solely on cultivating.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this half-year of cultivation, James’ rank had reached the peak of the Immortal AscensionFifth Stair. He was one step away from entering the Immortal Ascension Sixth Stair. Nonetheless,he chose to compact his rank.
He forcibly compressed the Immortal Ascension Fifth Stair late-stage into the Immortal AscensionFifth Stair middle-stage.
At this point, the Dragon Energy emanating from beneath the rock was already quite sparse.
James slowly opened his eyes and took his time exhaling a mouthful of impurities. He stood up fromthe rock, stretched a little, and muttered, “As the rank advances, it becomes increasingly difficult towant to advance it again. If I didn’t enter the Dragon Abyss, and simply cultivated methodically, Imight not reach the Immortal Ascension Sixth Stair even after ten years.”novelbin
The others stopped cultivating one by one at this point, as the Dragon Energy had mostly beenabsorbed. If they wanted to return to this place, they would have to wait fifty years.
Quintina looked at James, her face beaming with pride, and said, “I’ve already reached the ImmortalAscension Ninth Stair. How about you?”
James said, “I’m only at the Immortal Ascension Fifth Stair middle-stage.”
“You’re kidding.” Quintina looked perplexed. She said, “At your current rank, half a year ofcultivation is sufficient for a breakthrough. Why are you still at the Immortal Ascension Fifth Stairmiddle-stage?”
James explained with a smile, “Because I’m constantly compressing my rank and True Essence inorder to make my True Essence purer and denser.”
“Alright.”
Quintina did not say anything else.
This time, Henry and Delainey had also made significant progress. Their strength had improved.
As they were about to leave, an elder approached them from nearby.
The elder was dressed in a grey robe. He looked a little old. His face was wrinkled. His hair wasslightly long and almost entirely white, with only a few black hairs. He had a long beard.
When he appeared, James and the others all looked wary. The elder looked at James and theothers with a smile as he walked over.
Quintina glanced at him. With confusion on her face, she asked, “You… Who are you?”
Gently stroking his white beard, the elder said with a smile, “I am Xozarth Laldraxi.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this name, Quintina immediately exclaimed, “Sir, y-you’re the guardian of the DragonAbyss, the elder of the Dragon Race, Xozarth Laldarxi?”
Quintina had heard of Xozarth. He was a powerhouse who had been around since antiquity andstood guard at the Dragon Abyss. If her father met him, he would also have to regard him as hissuperior.
To Quintina’s understanding, Xozarth’s strength was terrifying. His rank was so high that it wasunfathomable.
With a hint of resignation on his face, Xozarth said, “What guardian? I’m simply meditating inseclusion in the Dragon Abyss. Now I can’t even defend the Dragon Vein of the Dragon Abyss.What a disgrace to the word ‘guardian’.”
James looked at Xozarth and asked, “Sir, what do you mean by that?”
Xozarth said, “An outsider came here and wanted to move this place’s Dragon Vein, but I can’t evenstop him.”
