Chapter 2244


    The next day, there was a knock on the door just before dawn.


    James stopped cultivating and went to open the door.


    An Ancient n disciple stood outside the door. With a respectful look, he said, “Sir, thepetition for


    the right to enter the Pagoda of mes begins today. The Young Lady has instructed me to bring you


    to Mount Trinvard.”


    “Alright, thank you.” James walked out of his room.


    As he stepped outside, Yoan also walked out of his room.


    “Sir.” James greeted Yoan.


    Then, the Ancient n disciple led the two out of the vige toward a mountain.


    Mount Trinvard was the highest mountain within the Ancient n. It was also the residence. of the


    Ancient n’s leader. Under normal circumstances, the n’s disciples were forbidden to ascend the


    mountain.


    Today was an exception as it was an important event for the n that took ce every half a century.


    The disciples have trained for many years to prepare for this day and to win the chance into the


    Pagoda of mes to be the main disciples of the n.


    When James and Yoan reached Mount Trinvard, many people had already gathered inside at battle


    arena on the mountain’s peak. A majority of them were young people and powerhouses from older


    generations.


    James spotted Quintina.


    At that moment, she was standing amongst some elderlies, seemingly discussing something.


    Quintina was standing together with Thoryn. She whispered to him, “Elder Thoryn, the Divinity Sect is


    here. The Infernal Emperor has also brought his disciples. To add to that, Emperor Tamen has also


    arrived.”


    Her brows furrowed together as she continued speaking, “Since the Grand Tournament is happening


    soon, everyone has brought their disciples here, knowing that our n’s Pagoda of mes will be


    open. Everyone’s scrambling to enter the Pagoda of mes and reach a higher rank before the Grand


    Tournament.”


    “Since they’re here, let them be.”


    Thoryn was unbothered by their presence.


    But there are quite a few of them this time. Most of them are very promising contenders of the Grand


    Tournament and will likelye out in the top ten. With them here, our n’s disciples will have a


    lower chance of entering the Pagoda of mes.”


    Thoryn replied, “What else can we do about it? We can’t possibly turn them all away. Our n. has


    always been discreet and maintained decent rtionships with outside forces. Although we’re not


    afraid of others, we also don’t necessarily want to antagonize them. As long as you make it into the


    Pagoda of mes, the rest doesn’t really matter.”


    “Alright.”


    Quintina did not say anything more.


    “Haha! Long time no see, Thoryn! I see you’re still doing well!”


    At that moment, augh resounded.


    Suddenly, a figure at the mountain’s foot rushed toward him. As his voice boomed, he appeared in front


    of the arena on Mount Trinvard at the speed of light.


    It was a middle-aged man, about 40 years old. He was a chiselled man dressed in an extravagant robe.


    He had a round face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes and seemed slightly rowdy.


    A young man wearing a golden robe followed in his tracks.


    “He’s here too?”


    Seeing the two people that just showed up, Yoan’s brows immediately furrowed together.

    Beside him, James inquired, “Who’re they, Sir?”


    Yoan replied, “The middle-aged man is the Divinity Sect’s leader, the Divine Holy Emperor. He’s one of


    the strongest people in the Ancient Realm. The young man in the golden robe beside him is the Divinity


    Sect’s newly recruited disciple. He’s a Grand Supernatural with no known information about his


    background. I only know that he’s pretty young. He’s probably about forty years old this year. Despite


    his rtively young age, he’s already at the Immortal. Ascension’s Seventh Stair.”


    “He’s that strong?” James took a deep breath.


    With a solemn look, Yoan said, “I wasn’t expecting the Divine Holy Emperor to bring his disciple here


    today.”


    Thoryn looked at the Divine Holy Emperor who had appeared before him. He stroked his beard and


    greeted the other man merrily, “How have you been, Divine Holy Emperor?”


    The Divine Holy Emperor replied smilingly, “You won’t fault me foring here uninvited, right, Elder


    Thoryn?”


    “Of course not. Anyone thates today is a guest of ours. You’re of course wee toe here.”


    Thoryn replied with a smile, but he cursed the Divine Holy Emperor’s ancestors in his heart.
