Life After Prison

Diane and the girls were facing around back and forth, as did Wuhlricht and the others. Their faces lit up with joy and excitement as if they were the ones who had achieved the breakthrough.

They had first-hand knowledge of Severin’s exceptional talent, yet none of them had quite gotten accustomed to his frequent breakthroughs. The rise to level three paragon was not as easy as using pills to make a breakthrough to warrior emperor or supreme saint. Each level of paragon was notoriously challenging to make a breakthrough. Many elders within the sect were stuck at level one for decades. The difficulty of the barriers increased with the advancement of attainment, which necessitated significant opportunity for breakthroughs.

Severin had defied such norms, reaching level thee paragon in merely two or three months after his previous breakthrough.

Given his talent, his unprecedented progress was expected, but that did not in any way diminish the feat that he had accomplished.

They all gathered around Severin after seeing him emerging from seclusion. Felipe had a rather bitter smile as he remarked, “Your talent is enviable.”

Wuhlricht added, “Others struggle for decades and remain stuck at level one paragon, but you seem to make all these breakthroughs as if it’s second nature. I can imagine that a lot of people in the sect are secretly jealous.”

Even Diane and the girls looked at him with starry-eyed admiration and awe.

Realizing that they had been waiting for him to complete his seclusion, he rubbed his nose and replied, “I’m not as amazing as you’re describing me to be. There plenty more stronger prodigies within Bleurealm. My current level of attainment is only barely sufficient to protect myself.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Severin remained humble and did not allow the breakthrough to inflate his ego. He believed in the existence of individuals more gifted and powerful in the vast world of Bleurealm. Though others saw him as a monstrosity, he felt that he was only slightly stronger than average.

His modesty resonated well with those around him, eliciting smiles form his wives and Wuhlricht’s group.

Wuhlricht then suggested, “Let’s celebrate Severin’s breakthrough! We might not be strong enough to enter the Starry Sky Battlespace once it becomes accessible, but we can still wish Severin a safe journey within.”

His suggestion garnered unanimous agreement from Felipe and the others. Leaving the Skyblue Sect and venturing into the Bleurealm was not without hardship, but they did so in search of broader horizons and the opportunity to become a celestial. A large part of that was dependent on Severin-his contributions were crucial to their progress as practitioners. Had he not been with them, they might not have had the chance to become level five or level six supreme saints.

Severin accepted their well-wishes with a faint smile. Oskar had not assigned him any specific tasks in the Starry Sky Battlespace, other than to establish connections with prodigies outside of Southsky for a smoother journey to Midland’s sacred land.

However, the opportunities that would be present in that vast ancient ruin was within reach, and Severin was not about to pass up on the chance to seize them!

The journey of attainment was a fierce competition, and everything done in the name of attainment would defy the heavens. It was a journey to compete against one’s peers and the world.

Severin had a feeling that the Starry Sky Battlespace would prove to be a brutal and bloody affair. That was part of the reason for his urgency to make a breakthrough. Only by being strong enough to protect himself would he then be able to secure opportunities, make further breakthroughs, and protect those he cared for in the face of impending challenges.
