Aziel was the pride and joy of Heavenfall Pavilion, a prodigy who could punch above his weight. If something were to happen to him, Dexton had no way of explaining the situation to the others.
At that moment, Aziel found himself amidst chaos, following Julmis.
Julmis said, “Your abilities are lacking. You’re merely a wandering immortal right now. I’ll elevate you directly to the earthly immortal realm. Go and explore the fourth level…”
Upon hearing that, Aziel was instantly overwhelmed with emotion to the point of tears. He kneeled on the ground, wishing could show his extreme gratitude to Julmis in the most humble way possible.
“Thank you, sir!” Aziel bowed in gratitude.
Julmis gently placed his hand on Aziel’s head. Soft rays of light enveloped Aziel, radiating a sense of serenity.
Aziel felt his body violently trembling, as if were being torn apart, almost on the verge of falling apart. He gritted his teeth in determination until, at last, collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat.
Julmis shook his head and said, “Your natural talent is commendable, but it’s a pity that your physical endurance is lacking… You can only advance to the Wandering Immortal Realm Level Five before you can’t bear it any longer.”
Upon hearing that, Aziel felt a pang of disappointment. However, the prospect of advancing to Wandering immortal Realm Level Five wasn’t too shabby.
He was capable of challenging those beyond his rank. With his new status, could even hold his own against those in the Wandering Immortal Realm Level Seven.
“Thank you, sir!” Once again, Aziel kneeled down and bowed.
With a wave of his hand, Julmis made their figures reappear before the crowd.
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Wandering Immortal Realm Level Five? It’s only been a short while, and he’s already advanced by two levels!” Dexton trembled with excitement, hastily stepping forward to check on Aziel’s condition.
Aziel wore a proud expression, feeling the surge of power within him. He looked at Jared with a triumphant gaze and scoffed, “Well, do you still dare to act arrogant in front of me now?”
Jared frowned, ignoring Aziel’s provocation, and instead studied carefully.
Somethings not right… His level has improved, but there’s an eerie sense of decay about him, as if a part of his vitality had been drained away…
“Sir, I also want to enhance my abilities!” Nymeria couldn’t wait any longer. She kneeled down with eyes filled with desire.
“All right, all right…” Julmis nodded with a smile, and with another wave of his hand, and Nymeria vanished.
A moment later, Nymeria returned, and level had also dramatically surged!
“I’ve made a breakthrough!” She laughed with excitement, yet laughter carried a hint of hoarseness, as if it bore traces of age.
Following that, Dexton and three black-robed elders quickly stepped forward, pleading for Julmis to empower them.
Julmis was open to all who approached, diligently elevating their realms one by one.
Soon enough, everyone was basking in the joy of their rapidly growing power, everyone except for Jared. The more observed, the more alarmed became.
Although those individuals had grown more powerful, the life force within them was rapidly diminishing. In other words, even though they had managed to elevate their power, they likely wouldn’t live for much longer. Their future cultivation would likely come to a standstill.
“Jared, let’s go too!” Jemima tugged at Jared’s sleeve, eyes shimmering with anticipation.
“No way…” Jared abruptly pulled back, whispering, “There’s something off about this old guy…”
“Huh?” Jemima was taken aback. “But they really did become stronger…”
“Sure, but it’s at the cost of their lifespan…” Jared said solemnly, “Haven’t you noticed? Their life force has clearly diminished…”
Jemima shook head. She couldn’t discern that, only aware that those people’s strength had all improved.
“What… What should we do then?” Jemima was starting to panic.
Jared narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiling. “If wants to play, l’ll humor him.”
After finished speaking, strode forward and respectfully greeted Julmis. “Sir, I believe I possess decent talent, I am versatile and gifted, and I strive to progress. Therefore, I’d like to ask you to pass on the mantle of Anti-Celestial Sect to me. If I’m able to inherit the legacy of Anti-Celestial Sect and elevate my realm, I will show you my gratitude every day in prayers!”
