"In a span exceeding one lunar cycle, from the ninth stage of corporeal refinement to the consummate realization of the Violet Mansion, dost thou not deem this pace of breakthrough overly expeditious?" That faint voice resonated once more. And therein, did Harold Quinlan wield the force of visual contemplation to disperse that Sun Deity.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ARhzqGwW
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iy2Wfd4AU
As per the covenant, upon Heather Quinlan employing cultivation surpassing the measure of the Violet Mansion, adjudged it to be William Horatio's victory. No doubt, William Horatio prevailed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlJ2iNszg
John Jones and Lucas Lancaster were astounded, yet John Jones felt discomfort.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Xu69fF83
Whether it be an ailment or not, John Jones, from youth till present, whenever beholding others gain wealth, felt profoundly uneasy. More so than losing wealth, especially when William Horatio, who had deceived him, gained wealth.

"Oh, how appearances belie reality, and the vastness of the ocean cannot be underestimated! I never envisioned that ultimately triumphant would be William Horatio."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfcWKwA9ap
"If mine eyes serve me truly, did William Horatio employ the Emperor's Grade Dao Technique — the Sunforge Art, perchance? And did he, at the denouement, employ the Sovereign Iris?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tzitVzfma
"Indeed, it was the Sunforge Art and the Sovereign Iris."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYUbRUY0gn
"That doth resolve it. Not long past, upon the breakthrough of the ninth stage of corporeal refinement, did he manifest the Sovereign Iris portent, and verily it was William Horatio."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFj0nDxOcR
"No marvel that the aura of William Horatio's Violet Mansion is so profuse; even after employing an Emperor's Grade Dao Technique, there was no sign of depletion. It is due to the breakthrough of the ninth stage of corporeal refinement."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJKSwihYpC
"But this youth doth play an unconventional hand. Upon ascending to the true lineage, he chose not to cultivate martial arts, but rather, elected the path of Dao techniques."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcwB2s9N9l
Innumerable disciples of true lineage wore expressions of astonishment. The outcome of this contest entirely exceeded their expectations. Outside the grand hall, a man and a woman were distributing the cultivation resources for June to William Horatio. The woman possessed a comely visage. Upon perusing William Horatio's dossier, her countenance bore disdain, and she continued to censure incessantly. Ere she could conclude her words, she was halted by the man.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluSp5mFdne
Then the man tendered apologies to William Horatio, "Forgive us, junior brother, my junior sister cannot bridle her tongue. Pray pardon her offense. Furthermore, the promotion assessment is nigh a month hence. I hope junior brother will not relinquish."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan7lYTKGXD
Having spoken thus, he escorted the woman away, though faintly, one could still discern the woman's words, "What? I plainly spoke the truth; where did I err?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVckyzW7qrf
Beholding the departing figures, William Horatio's noble countenance was suffused with bitterness. He gazed vacantly at the distant dawn shrouded in clouds, sighed, and uttered:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOMISYm7UK
"I am sorely unwilling! Even having arrived in this world, my talent remains so wanting."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKRK1fuwob
In comparison to some ordinary folk, William Horatio's aptitude was still acceptable, yet within the Sacred Domain, it was somewhat lacking.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtZyqFaTf
"Must I truly return to the clan, inherit that one-acre three-part land, and become an ordinary cultivator?" Upon entry, a vast expanse greeted the eye.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPslfeebqyk
Resembling a microcosm.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE0X8m3IqD
Sun, stars, ancient trees... all that which lay without, was contained within.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCHzmQO4Nj
Most wondrous of all, at the heart of this expanse, a colossal and sacred staircase extended from the earth into the firmament, as if upholding the ladder of heaven, extraordinary and mysterious.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6jNFKeQIF
"Is this the Ascension Tower? Hehe, I too aspire to forge a Dao implement akin to this." Timothy Thomas beside William Horatio exclaimed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBCEi5zlIB
"There shall be an opportunity." William Horatio rejoined with a smile.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHsr7RHZvt
"Hehe, with thy cultivation for ten years and yet at the Violet Mansion, dost thou also deem thyself deserving?" A disciple of menial station not far from William Horatio taunted.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGGhlemABx
At the words, William Horatio furrowed his brow and was about to retort, yet was forestalled by Timothy Thomas, who glared at the man and said:
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgKQbo5i8F
"Thou art a fool, Douglas Johnson. Dost thou dare to spar with me? Let me see who is the wastrel."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVAJSz8bZ3
Seeing Timothy Thomas's burly frame and imposing demeanor, Douglas Johnson's aura waned a tad, yet he still rejoined, "Ye both wait, ye shall see anon." Immediately thereafter, the two felt a faint pressure emanate from them. Beholding this, William Horatio dutifully produced his identity token and dared not provoke Heather Quinlan anew, fearing another reprimand.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA2X9l7W5v
The identity token was inscribed with the character 'Tian.' Fashioned of an unknown material, it possessed extraordinary hardness, and contained enchantments within, verifying the identity of the Sacred Domain, as well as storing and transferring contribution points.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVRYtzuULp
"Humph!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfVa8pFyb
Upon transferring the contribution points, Heather Quinlan cast another glance at William Horatio, then seized her spear and departed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFoLCSFHh3
Beholding Heather Quinlan's graceful form depart, William Horatio touched his nose sheepishly. He desired to employ the system to investigate Heather Quinlan's information, yet then recalled that the system was yet undergoing an upgrade. He nearly uttered a curse but restrained himself. He spoke cautiously, "Master, I vow to make amends, yet is ten thousand high-grade spirit stones too extravagant? Might it be reduced?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMizFRFJrD
He knew that without shedding some blood today, he would not resolve the matter. Yet ten thousand high-grade spirit stones were excessively exorbitant, far beyond his capacity. If he were to truly make amends, his backers would likely not spare him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4KcKKu45O
"No negotiation. If thou canst not make amends, then thy life may also be mortgaged." William Horatio raised his brows and spoke coldly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYQbvr2R0V
Such a woolly giveaway had to be sheared.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHaYNAHE5
He did not believe with such a colossal life-and-death arena.
