“That’s right.”
Gaerel looked at him. “The Path of Heavenly Awakening has existed since the Sky Burial Age. Also, the entrance to this mysterious realm is guarded by the Ursas.”
James’ eyes widened.
‘Who would have thought that it was actually the Ursas who were guarding this mysterious, legendary realm?!’ he thought.
James asked in a slightly raised voice, “In that case, might I ask how many of your people have managed to pass the Path of Heavenly Awakening so far?”
Gaerel gave a small sigh as he shook his head. “There are nine trials on the Path of Heavenly Awakening. Since a long time ago, we have been sending the gifted ones from our race into the realm. Sadly, none of them has ever made it to the ninth trial.”
His explanation further piqued James’ interest.
“Alright. I agree to your terms. It doesnʼt matter if I fail. I would really like to enter the Path of Heavenly Awakening and see what this mysterious realm is all about myself.”
Gaerel gazed at the man before him.
‘I can’t wait to see if this man, who’s hailed as the most promising cultivator of our era, is able to pass all nine trials of the Path of Heavenly Awakening.
‘If he does, that means he has the potential to reach the Caelum Acme Rank. Then, itʼd be right for us to pick the Doom Raceʼs side. Once he achieves the Caelum Acme Rank, the humans will no longer be a threat to us,’ Gaerel concluded inwardly.
“There are a few things that I need to warn you about,” Gaerel said.
James replied, “I’m all ears.”
