After hearing the report from his servant, two gleams of light burst forth from Spencer’s eyes. He had
entered seclusion a year ago just like Riley, and his aim was to progress from level nine supreme saint
to level one paragon, which he had seeded in doing. However, thendscape within the sect had
shifted, and an additionalpetitor had joined the fray. It was natural for Spencer to feel a little taken
aback..
but he soon regained hisposure.
Spencer’s muscr physique brimmed with dragon–like tenacity and sun–like energy. He gestured to
his
servants and said, “I should like to be alone no.”
Severin’s recent rise to fame surprised Spencer, but he made a point not to dwell on it too much. After
all, he was a paragon, and it would be hardly fitting for him to show so much concern over a supreme
saint.
Though Severin was a core disciple just like him, Spencer was only mildly interested in Severin. One
had
to be a prodigy to be a core disciple, but even then, no tw
prodigies were equally as prodigious.
Individuals like Celeste who relied on her Forest Constitution and top–tier alchemical talent to be
a core disciple did notmand Spencer’s serious consideration. All of the original five core disciples
possessed an element constitution, be it Spencer himself, the fourth ranked Raymond, or the third–
ranked
Riley.
In Spencer’s eyes, his true rival was Karl, the reputed reincarnation of an ancient great power. By
comparison, Severin did not merit serious attention because he was merely a level five supreme saint.
Spencer shook his head and refocused his thoughts before setting all thoughts of Severin aside.
Although the core disciples did not regard Severin as a formidable opponent, his recent goings–on had
caused a sensation in the Grandiuno Sect. In was particrly prominent in his progress to the seventh
floor of the Alchemy Tower and subsequent feat of surpassing Celeste in the rankings. News of his
aplishments reached every corner of the Nine Mountains, and ‘Severin‘ seemed to be the only
name
on everyone’s mouths.
Meanwhile, inside the training room on Pearl Light Isle, Severin sat cross–legged on the Enlightenment
Mat gifted by Rowan, the Eighth Mountain’s peak master. A refreshing coolness emanated from his
thighs and flowed through his meridians, allowing him to perceive the enlightenment. He was very
much
pleased by the mat’s astounding properties.
The mat activated automatically as soon as he sat on it. Vigorous absorption of the surrounding
spiritual energy soon began, and the room seemed to be filled with water droplets in no time. As he
nurtured his spiritual energy to its peak, Severin opened his eyes and murmured to himself, “Time for
me to make a
breakthrough.”
Over a month had psed since hisst breakthrough. The meridians that Severin had activated
began
bottleneck. As a result, Severin disyed an urgency as he rushed back to Pearl Light Isle after
receiving
all the gifts from the peak masters.
The simtion of alchemy in the Alchemy Tower had the effort of refining its spiritual power. Severin’s
attainment had reached a bottleneck during this period, so the first thing he did was to retrieve the
Pristine Spirit Pill that he had gotten after winning against Emery.

The thumb–sized Pristine Spirit Pill was rich with energy, and it transformed into a surge of medicinal
power upon entering his throat. The energy circted through his limbs and bones, and Severin swiftly
employed his power to refine the energy and convert it into pure spiritual power.
At the same time, the Enlightenment Mat beneath him activated and channeled the majestic spiritual
energy of heaven and earth into his body. Clouds and mist formed on the tranquil Pearl Light Isle, and
an
abundant influx of spiritual energy began to pour in
