That was because Dolph had not made a move for a very long time.
James knew nothing about Youri’s plans for now. However, he could only take one step at a time. Over the next couple of years, he remained inside Mount Doom.
As the date of the gathering inched closer and closer, more and more powerful individuals gathered in the Doom Realm. Not only were the Ten Great Races present but there were even other hidden races. Though they were not in the Ten Great Races, they had Acmeans among their ranks. Apart from that, the Quasi Acmeans of all races had gathered here. The Quasi Acmeans of today will be the pillars of the Greater Realms of tomorrow. Once they crossed into the Acme Rank, they would emerge as a force to be reckoned with.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three months left till the gathering.
At the back of the spiritual mountain where the Great Elder resided…
Youri was sitting in a lotus position. He was old, and his pulse was weak. However, beneath his elderly surface, there was an explosive power hidden. At that moment, he radiated a bizarre-looking halo.
“What a shame…”
After some time, he stopped cultivating.
“If I could obtain the Blithe Omniscience, I would be invincible.”
Hirah Dalibor the Grand Patriarch’s hypothesis was correct—Youri was already at the Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage. During the event at the Cloud Race, he had secretly gathered materials in preparation for the breakthrough of the Ninth Stage. Just as he was contemplating ways of obtaining the keys in the possession of other races, word of his appearance at the Cloud Race spread like wildfire. Then came the Soul Race. This troubled him deeply. The living being behind this had foiled his plans, and he wished he could tear the perpetrator to pieces.
“Great Elder.”
A middle-aged man appeared. He was brutish and had blue hair. He was Youri’s confidant and had been following Youri since the Primordial Realm’s age. His name was Qimat Dalibor, and he was a powerful individual who concealed his strength.
Qimat said, “At the moment, powerful figures from all over the Greater Realms have gathered. The gathering is about to begin. The Grand Patriarch, Patriarch, and everyone else is waiting for you to provide an explanation.”
Youri glared at Qimat, who shivered in fear and unconsciously staggered backward.
Youri slowly stood up, and his face darkened as he said coldly, “Explanation? How? I wish the Cloud Race and the Soul Race could offer me an explanation as well!”
Youri was livid. News of his Omniscience Path’s Ninth Stage must not be leaked. That was because the Ten Great Races had come to an agreement after the war against the Human Race. No living being of any race is allowed to cultivate the Omniscience Path. Otherwise, he will be annihilated. That was why word of his search for herbs to allow him to reach the Ninth Stage must never be leaked. However, that would mean he could not explain where he was during the Cloud Race’s event. All this while, Youri had been thinking of ways to resolve this. However, nothing came to mind. He was beginning to panic.
