“Julius, forgive me, your grandfather cannot make you a great Cultivator in this city. Despite being the only genius child of the Tiberius family to have reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm. Maybe your father’s talent has passed on to you, but we couldn’t teach you better, so you only have abilities like this,” Tiberius Achilles whispered to his grandson.
“I don’t blame you, Grandpa. Maybe I’m just not talented enough,” Tiberius Julius replied, trying to reassure his saddened grandfather.
Tiberius Achilles took a deep breath. Then, he pulled something from under his clothes. It turned out to be a book, which he handed over to Tiberius Julius. The young man slowly accepted the book handed to him by his grandfather.
“What is this, Grandpa?” Julius asked.
“It is a family heirloom book passed down through generations in the Tiberius family. The book guides those who study it to the level of the Spiritual Realm and even to the realm of Semi-Fairies. However, no one in our family has succeeded in studying the book completely. Even your talented father could only reach the ninth level of the Spiritual Realm and did not break through to the Semi-Fairy level. I am giving this to you; perhaps you can surpass the limits your father had,” replied Tiberius Achilles.
“Thank you for your trust in me, Grandpa. I will certainly try to study the contents of this book and complete it,” Tiberius Julius said while placing the book given by his grandfather under his reversed clothes.
The attitude shown by Tiberius Julius truly amazed the leader of the Tiberius family. He couldn’t understand what caused his grandson to change so drastically. The God of Light, residing within Tiberius Julius’s body, knew how the young man used to behave. However, it only had Tiberius Julius’s physical form and thoughts, not his attitude and soul; it was challenging for him to act as Julius used to.
“Julius, I’m glad you have matured. Whatever you went through a few days ago in that abyss where you fell, the change you have now truly makes me happy. Eventually, you will lead the Tiberius family after your uncles are gone. Because in your generation, you are the only male in the Tiberius family.”
Tiberius Julius, the incarnation of the God of Light, actually knew how Tiberius Julius used to behave. But he was determined to be himself and not have the same attitude as the previous Tiberius Julius. In addition to undergoing reincarnation as Tiberius Julius, he intended to find out what really happened to him and the universe when he disappeared. He thought that for now, thousands of years might have passed, and many things might have changed.
“Try reading that book, and I want you to practice it directly. The last I knew, you were in the middle-level ninth stage of the Earth Realm. Try to break through to the next level by learning on your own. Maybe you can develop better than being taught by your useless uncles,” Tiberius Achilles ordered his grandson.
Julius obeyed his grandfather’s command. He took back the book that he had stored under his clothes earlier. He flipped through the contents of the book and read it. With the knowledge of the God of Light within him, the contents of the book were very easy for him to learn.
Julius was a bit disappointed to find that the contents of the book did not match what he desired. Even compared to the cultivation techniques he had created as the God of the universe; it was much more difficult. However, applying the cultivation he created to Tiberius Julius’s weak physical body was still very risky.
“This book is actually too low-level. But maybe this is what I have to go through with this new body. I still can’t apply the cultivation I created in Tiberius Julius’s body. Let me find a way to improve the basic human body while I’m at it,” Julius muttered to himself.
He began to cultivate according to the instructions in the book in his hands. He immediately used the guidance from the book to reach the Spiritual Realm. A strong surge of energy emanated from Tiberius Julius’s body. This was felt by the leader of the Tiberius family. He thought Tiberius Julius had successfully broken through the first level of the martial spirit cultivation in the Spiritual Realm.
However, after careful observation, the old man was disappointed again. What he had hoped for turned out to be just wishful thinking. There was no progress in Tiberius Julius. The young man was still in the middle-level fifth stage of the Earth Realm.
“It seems like I was expecting too much. This child is not as talented as his father, who was a genius in the Tiberius family. It looks like the future of the Tiberius family will become even bleaker,” Tiberius Achilles murmured deeply in his heart, then stood up.Tiberius Julius stopped cultivating. He felt his entire body trembling, and his chest tightened, indicating that the limits of his body’s capabilities had been reached. He did not want to force himself to continue cultivating and try to break through to the next realm because it could lead to the destruction of his body. Tiberius Julius stood up and walked towards his grandfather, expressing his gratitude.
“Thank you for your generosity, Grandpa, allowing me to study this book to make progress. I will strive to improve my abilities and not disappoint you,” Tiberius Julius said humbly, trying to please his grandfather.
Tiberius Achilles simply patted his grandson’s shoulder. He couldn’t bring himself to say a word in response to Tiberius Julius’s statement. His heart was so pleased to see the changes in his grandson. His delicate feelings even caused tears to well up in his eyes. Without saying a word, Tiberius Achilles then left the place and returned to his resting chamber.
Tiberius Julius himself did not mind it and was not offended by his grandfather’s actions. He knew that his grandfather was experiencing deep emotions. Julius then walked away from the garden towards his room. Shortly after, Miller came to inquire about his needs.
“If the young master needs anything, just call for me,” Miller said from behind Tiberius Julius’s room door.
“Uncle Miller, would you like to accompany me for a walk around the city? I feel very bored just staying at home. Maybe I can entertain myself by seeing the cityscape,” Tiberius Julius replied, opening the door to his room.
“Su-sure, young master,” Miller stammered slightly, feeling a bit uneasy hearing his young master’s request.
In truth, Miller least wanted to accompany his young master for a stroll around the city where they lived. This was because fights often broke out whenever the young master left the house, even if it was just around their residential area. The young man with the full name Tiberius Julius was notorious for causing trouble in the city. Many residents and cultivators in the city did not like him. However, this time, it seemed that Miller couldn’t refuse his master’s request.After a while of getting ready, Julius emerged from his room. He then invited Uncle Miller to go out of the house and walk around the city on foot. Just a few houses into their journey, Julius was met with disdainful glares from the residents. Several people chose to go in the opposite direction rather than cross paths with Tiberius Julius.“Why do they treat me like this, Uncle Miller? Have I wronged them?” Tiberius Julius asked Miller.Miller’s face changed dramatically. He couldn’t reveal what had actually happene
Smith Gigo’s attack directly hit the shield created by the finger of Tiberius Julius’s hand. The shield formed a bright white light. The brilliance of the shield made Smith Gigo’s almost three-quarters of the deployed attack disappear instantly. The attack was like a drop of water hitting the ocean, leaving no trace.Experiencing this event, Smith Gigo was truly surprised. He did not expect that his launched attack could be blocked by Tiberius Julius. In fact, Smith Gigo had no idea what technique Tiberius Julius used. He had never seen the Tiberius family use a technique that could summon a shield in the form of that light.It wasn’t just Tiberius Julius who made Smith Gigo appear shaken. Even Smith Gigo’s assistants were intimidated by the young master of the Tiberius family. They never expected that the young master of the Tiberius family could defeat their leader. Being mostly low-level cultivators, they could gauge the power possessed by Tiberius Julius. They guessed that Tiberiu
“Excellent, Julius! I really admire your spirit, my grandson. I am confident that you will truly revive the glory of the Tiberius family. There will be no one daring to insult our family anymore. Even the royal palace would think twice before oppressing us,” the leader of the Tiberius family exclaimed to his grandson while patting his shoulder.The leader of the Tiberius family had indeed sensed a significant change in Julius since his fall into the abyss. However, he welcomed this change because his grandson’s previously unruly behavior had done a complete 180° turn. He had great expectations for his beloved grandson to restore the prestigious name of the Tiberius family. The elder even hoped that Julius would follow in his father’s footsteps as a genius of the Tiberius family, although he occasionally realized that his grandson was not a remarkable cultivator like his father.It wasn’t just the leader of the Tiberius family who appreciated the change in Tiberius Julius. Uncle Miller
“Julius, I want you to go to the Tower of the Gods Academy to study there. Only there can you develop your talents into the strongest cultivator. Here, your grandfather and uncles cannot provide much guidance for you to thrive.”Tiberius Achilles seemed visibly burdened delivering the words just now. He didn’t really want to part with his beloved grandson. However, observing the recent progress in Julius’s talents, Tiberius Achilles felt that the child deserved to receive a better cultivation education than what he could get in their current family. He and his other children agreed to send their grandson to the Tower of the Gods Academy, a renowned martial arts school in their country.“If I go, what about the competition to determine which family becomes the leader of this city? In our family, I am the only son, while the other children of my age are all daughters,” Julius replied with a question that made everyone bow their heads, including his grandfather as the leader of the Tiber
For a moment, the two opponents stared at each other. They had no idea that their attacks could be easily avoided by Julius. The attackers themselves were unaware that Julius, as the God of Light, possessed the ability to stop time. Although he could only slow it down at the moment, it was enough to evade their strikes.Julius’s actions truly astonished the two assailants. Apart from the surprise of discovering that Julius was in the second-level Earth Peak Realm, the speed at which Julius dodged their attacks defied their understanding. It was impossible for someone like Julius’s current level to have such an unseen speed, considering that both of their powers far exceeded Julius’s.“Who are you? Why attack me? If you are truly brave, don’t hide your faces. Let’s fight to the bitter end until one of us falls,” Julius challenged his enemies.It seemed that both of them paid no heed to Julius’s words. Instead, they increased their strength even further. Determined to eliminate Julius,
“You may enter directly!” the guard said.Julius looked puzzled. Unlike others who had to pass through two trial stones first, he was now directly invited to enter. After a moment of silence, Julius moved away from the guard towards the entrance.“Wait! Although he has a special recommendation letter from someone, he still needs to undergo the examination of the rough body level and the purity of the soul he possesses.”A loud shout was heard, causing Julius to reconsider stepping into the academy. A man dressed entirely in white, with white hair, emerged from inside. The face of the old man, around 60 years old, looked menacing and full of authority. Seeing the person approaching the entrance gate of the Tower of the Gods Academy, everyone immediately stood, facing the old man.“Respect to the Vice Chairman of the Tower of the Gods, may the headmaster live long!” the Tower of the Gods students shouted simultaneously.“Rise, all of you, and continue your task of selecting potential in
Aware of his mistake in entering without greeting, Tiberius Li Julius turned around and bowed in respect to the senior student who had just reprimanded him. However, it seemed that the senior student intended to pick a fight with Tiberius Li Julius. After the young man turned around and bowed, he received a kick from his senior in the same tower group, causing him to fall to the ground. The incident made everyone present burst into laughter, except for another young man with slightly darker skin.This young man was in the same group as Julius and belonged to the same batch. He was the young master from the Blackthorn Family, hailing from the city of Azure Peak in the east. His name was Galen Blackthorn, a young man around 17 years old. He disliked seeing others oppressed in front of him. Galen Blackthorn, with his sturdy and tall figure and dark skin, immediately approached Julius and helped him up.As Julius got up, he raised his head and stared sharply at the seniors who were at the
Magnus Raven, the head of the God Tower Academy, scanned the entire assembly of students. Whatever he was looking for, he continued, “Therefore, train to overcome every test I give you. There are five exams you must pass if you want to successfully obtain a cultivation ticket in this God Tower. This time, I am giving the opportunity to only three students to enter the God Tower.”Magnus Raven concluded his announcement by motivating the students to train harder. He mentioned that he wouldn’t reappear for the next three months. Shortly afterward, he returned to the God Tower. The students then returned to their respective places.The next day, all new students were gathered in the main building of the God Tower Academy, not far from the tower where the academy head lived. About fifty new students were accepted into the God Tower Academy this time, all selected individuals who had passed the given tests. Except for a few, including Julius, who received a special recommendation, making i
