Roar of the Supreme Warrior
Chapter 3429

Mia responded, "This is where the monster is. According to my clan's records, this challenge is only officially overcome by entering the depths of the palace and defeating the monster there."

James' eyebrows tightened. The power of a monster who guarded the first obstacle of Mount Nothingness must be extraordinary. Currently, his physical power was only the Grand Emperor's Rank Seventh Heaven, which is indefinitely the rank of a powerful figure in the Apocalypse Age. However, there were so many figures of the Grand Emperor Rank and so many Ancestral God Ranks that James pretty much amounted to nothing.

He looked at Mia and asked, "How did you know?"

Mia hesitated for a while.

Hadrian encouraged Mia and said, "Don't hide anything from James. Just say it."

Mia sunk into brief thought and said, "A few centuries ago, this universe was going through its most glorious age it has ever seen. Many geniuses were produced during that age. Even in a small world, there would be forces to reckon with. And in that age, the most frightening of them all was the eight sisters of the Callahan family.

James listened carefully. He had heard of these before. He knew that the age when Thea was born was the most glorious age of them all.

Mia continued and said, "I have a brother who was born in that Age. He's called Mago Londyn, a genius that one can only encounter every ten thousand years. Within an Epoch after his birth, he already joined the Ancestral God Ranks, becoming a Mystical Ancestral God. In another Epoch, he turned into a Terra Ancestral God. His power was immensely frightening. There was surely no reason for him to not become a Caelum Ancestral God.

"Nevertheless, in the Grand Tournament of the Universe, he met Bria Callahan, who has already acquired the Caelum Ancestral God rank. In that battle, my brother lost thoroughly, completely. Since he returned, he couldn't ever pick himself up again. He lost his confidence so much that his cultivation base fell back to the Mystical Ancestral God Rank. After abandoning himself for nearly another Epoch, he woke up and decided to enter Mount Nothingness. He has never returned since.

"In the beginning, he would send messages back to the clan whenever he failed an obstacle, and the clan would record each one down. Until one day, no news from him was ever heard again, as if he disappeared completely from this universe. The reason why I came here isn't to look for some legacy of the Lord of Nothingness. It's to search for my lost brother."

After hearing Mia's words, James understood everything completely. She knew about all this thanks to the messages sent by her brother.

He enquired further, "How many obstacles do we have ahead of us?"

Mia shook her head and said, "This, I'm unsure. I remember that my brother challenged himself through around eighty challenges before he completely disappeared."

James' eyebrows tightened again. Eighty-plus challenges? How many dangerous spots were there within this mountain? His time was limited. It was very likely that he would not be able to enter the Palace. Thus, he planned to look for a site to cultivate immediately after overcoming this black underground palace.

"Oh right, the Grand Tournament of the Universe you spoke about... What's that?" James was curious.

The three looked at him, confused. The Grand Tournament was the Universe's big news, how could James not have heard of it?

Sensing the odd glances from the group, he scratched his head awkwardly, "I've been too engrossed in my cultivation that I'm rather ignorant about what happened in the outside world."

Mia explained patiently to James,

"The Grand Tournament of the Universe is the biggest event in the universe. One will be held every Epoch at Mount Heavenly Path. A battleground will be set up for every cultivation rank. As for the Ancestral God Rank, there will be two battlegrounds. One is for the

Mystical Ancestral God Ranks. The other is for the Terra Ancestral God Ranks and those higher than such ranks. The fights among these ranks are the most formidable and attention-drawing ones. Within these ranks, a Caelum Ancestral God will join them."

"The top three of every cultivation rank will be rewarded generously. This is also why some cultivators stay in a certain rank for a very long time. They wish to join the Grand Tournament, get into the top three, and win the generous awards given by Mount Heavenly Path

James understood completely upon hearing Mia's explanation.
