Lord Zenda and Zoltan looked at each other briefly. They could tell something had happened. Zoltan was about to ask James what was going on, but Lord Zenda stopped him. “Several esteemed guests have arrived. I’m afraid we need to move to another room for now,” James said through clenched teeth. Sherman and Manny led James to a smaller room connected to the hall. Lord Zenda and Zoltan quickly followed them. Behind them, Lesia dragged Neville along and entered the room as well. A short while later, cultivators from six holy temples came into the Haurvatat Palace. They were a little surprised to see that no one else was there inside the hall. However, each of them soon found a seat and sat down right away. “The members of the Haurvatat Temple always act so high and mighty. Canʼt they show us a little respect?” “Well, they have someone whoʼs a Chosen One. That’s why the other temples can never compare to them.” “Watch your mouths. We’re at their temple, after all.” “Why

With her hands on her back, Marci continued walking until she was face to face with Adina. As she blinked, two fine beams of mysterious light shot out of her eyes and entered Adinaʼs orbs. A mental battle was initiated instantly. Adina and Marci were both on a battlefield only the two of them could see. In a flash, the two of them performed all the signature skills they knew and blasted their powers at each other. Adina was not in her top condition because of her injuries. It showed during the battle as Marci gradually gained the upper hand. At one point, Marci pushed her palms forward and sent thousands of planets flying toward Adina. Those planets hit Adina simultaneously and threw her backward. In reality, Adina coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward. She lost her footing and fell onto the bottom of the steps leading up to the podium. She failed. Adina, the number one cultivator in the Great Historial Land, lost two battles that day. She never felt this

“What… What’s going on?” Lord Tzivya exclaimed frantically. She moved her hand quickly and conjured a purplish-green Holy Shield around her. The other cultivators hurriedly unleashed their powers as well to protect themselves against the powers of the decachrome lights, the Quasar Light, and the bell chimings. Unfortunately, their efforts were useless. Most of them grimaced and writhed in pain. Unlike the others, Marci who was also a Chosen One remained relatively calm. She stood in the same spot, unmoving. A purplish-gold light enveloped her body. However, anyone could see from her eyes that Marci was in a state of shock. Meanwhile, a faint human-like figure shining with decachrome lights slowly materialized in front of Adina. As the figure took on actual form, a handsome young man in a black robe could be seen standing on the podium facing the crowd. Marciʼs eyes widened. “The Ultimate Golden Body! You’re the living being who has been picked to be the Chosen One! Jame

The cultivators from the six holy temples were scared out of their wits when they saw James move closer. All of them got on their knees and lowered their heads. Some of them unconsciously held their breath. Adina, who was still on the podium, was looking at James from behind with terrified eyes. She did not expect the man she had looked down upon earlier to possess such frightening powers. Even Marci, who was also a Chosen One, did not manage to defend herself from James’ attacks. Moreover, Marci had just achieved the Soma Daeclon Rank. Even Adina had lost to her. “Greetings to the Chosen One!” The first group of cultivators who greeted James respectfully was the men from the Yunara Temple. These men were so shaken after seeing the display of James’ powers earlier. They immediately placed their foreheads against the cold floor as a gesture of submission. The other cultivators quickly followed suit. “Greetings to the Chosen One!” all of them chanted in unison. However,

Jamesʼ gaze drifted across those cultivatorsʼ faces. He could tell these sly, calculative men would not share everything with him honestly. Thus, he activated the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes and examined everyone’s soul. After a few minutes of arduous work, James finally understood what had happened in the Great Historial Land. It all started with Emperor Yardenʼs ten students being dissatisfied with how Zymurgy was treating the living beings. They found it to be a violation of Emperor Yardenʼs teachings. Therefore, they left Zymurgy and returned to the Great Historial Land. Here, each student established their own temple. Altogether, they were referred to as the Ten Holy Temples. As time went on, Emperor Yardenʼs ten students passed away one after another. However, not a single new Daeclon Mahayana Rank cultivator was produced among the members of the Ten Holy Temples. Eventually, the Haurvatat Templeʼs members, who acted as representatives, reached out to Zymurgyʼs beings and tri
