The next day, there was a knock on the door just before dawn.
James stopped cultivating and went to open the door.
An Ancient Clan disciple stood outside the door. With a respectful look, he said, “Sir, the competition for the right to
enter the Pagoda of Flames 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 Clan disciple led the two out of the village toward a mountain.
Mount Trinvard was the highest mountain within the Ancient Clan. It was also the residence. of the Ancient Clan’s
leader. Under normal circumstances, the clan’s disciples were forbidden to ascend the mountain.

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 Tamerlan 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 clan’s Pagoda of Flames will be open. Everyone’s
scrambling to enter the Pagoda of Flames 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 likely come out in the top ten. With them here, our clan’s disciples will have a lower chance of entering the
Pagoda of Flames.”
Thoryn replied, “What else can we do about it? We can’t possibly turn them all away. Our clan. has always been
discreet and maintained decent relationships 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 Flames, 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, a laugh 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.

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 relatively 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 for coming here uninvited, right, Elder Thoryn?”
“Of course not. Anyone that comes today is a guest of ours. You’re of course welcome to come here.”
Thoryn replied with a smile, but he cursed the Divine Holy Emperor’s ancestors in his heart.
