Chapter 2025
James was not concerned about his temporary setback.
He already had a cultivation plan in mind. In his opinion, he simply had to try repeatedly to cultivate his physical
body. Sooner or later, he would surely pass the third barrier.
Even if he did not obtain the Celestial Abode in the end, he would gain tremendously by improving his strength.
After pausing for a brief respite, he charged into the golem formation once more. This time, he came here not to
pass the barrier in mind, but rather to cultivate his physical body.
Soon, he arrived at the 200-meter mark.
By then, the golems’ attack speed had increased so drastically that James could no longer keep up. In a short
amount of time, he suffered many wounds.
The golems’ stone swords were not sharp and could not inflict any external injuries. However, their force was great,

for another hundred meters.
After arriving at the 300-meter mark, the golems’ speed and strength increased once more. Unable to continue
further, James could only retreat from the golem formation.
He then sat in a lotus position on the ground and absorbed Empyrean Spiritual Energy, catalyzing the Novenary
Golden Body Siddhi to nourish his physical body. Soon, the injuries on his body recovered, and his strength only
increased slightly.
Then, he continued trying.
This went on for three months.
Over the past three months, more and more were gathered by the third barrier. There were now approximately
1000 of them.
However, not many managed to pass the barrier. Only around a hundred managed to accomplish that.
With the beatings over the past few months, James’ body grew increasingly stronger, and his reaction speed
improved. Now, his body was capable of instinctively dodging attacks upon sensing a looming threat.
Three months later, James made another attempt. Like an agile fish in the water, he darted around the formation.
Soon, he reached the 400-meter mark.
By the time he arrived at the 400-meter mark, he was unscathed. However, the golems were now as quick as
lightning. However, after three months of cultivation, his physical body had strengthened to the point where he
could dodge the attacks flawlessly.
As he reached the 450-meter mark, he suffered an injury. However, he paid no heed to the injury. Summoning all
his strength, he charged toward the exit. In the end, he successfully passed the third barrier.
Once James passed the third barrier, he panted. At that moment, he was covered in bruises all
over his body. However, they rejuvenated at a rapid pace. Soon, his body was completely unscathed.
Standing up, he turned to look at the golem formation behind him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he took a deep breath.
“I finally passed the third barrier after three months of hard work. However, there are six barriers left. I wonder
where the Son of Heaven and Marcello are at now.”
Though James did not know where they currently were, he knew that they had yet to pass all nine barriers and
obtain the Celestial Spirit. After all, if that came to pass, everyone else would lose the right to continue the
challenge. Since the challenge was still ongoing, this meant that no one had been able to pass the ninth barrier.
James pressed on.
Soon, he arrived at the foot of a mountain.
There was a river by the foot of the mountain. Its water was crystal-clear, and there were many fishes swimming
freely inside. There was also a bridge a hundred meters long over the river.
At that moment, many people were crossing the bridge with great difficulty. Some had only just begun crossing,
while others were already halfway across.
As James approached the bridge, he murmured, “Is this the fourth barrier?”
