Jaxon then reached a bottleneck that lasted many thousands of years before he could become an immortal. Were it not for Severin's pill that gave him a boost, he would probably still be wasting time trying to achieve immortality. That experience was what led Jaxon to nearly pour scorn on the Celestial Realm's prodigies, as they had used the strong aura of the Celestial Realm and the perfected rules of heaven and earth as tools to achieve immortality.
Compared to sheer perseverance and hard work such as that put in by Jaxon, many of those so-called prodigies from the Celestial Realm did not have a solid attainment path.
Severin smiled knowingly after listening to Jaxon's words. Confidence was key, but too much of it could be detrimental. The spatial laws activated around him were soon activated as Severin maneuvered the airship several thousands of miles. The landscapes below turned into a complete blur. Guided by the sigil that he held, Severin stood at the helm and soon came to behold the emergence of a majestic, city wall on the horizon!
The wall resembled a colossal dragon crawling across the earth, and a perpetual sense of pressure emanated from it. Mysterious lights danced around the wall, where the power of countless laws was condensed. As Severin observed that sight, he knew that their destination was getting closer.
Upon arriving at the city entrance, he observed the encircling restrictions before gently lowering the airship. Two true immortals stationed at the gate recognized the sigil in Severin's hands and bowed respectfully. "An esteemed immortal summoned by the royal celestials has arrived. Please come in!"
Severin nodded and ushered his group into the city.
A harsh energy greeted them immediately upon their arrival at Realmgate City. Many practitioners bustled about while vendors peddled pills and spiritual treasures stained with dried blood.
"Don't miss out on these while you're passing through. Get your blood essence and blood of an extraterrestrial true immortal in exchange for a bottle of a Solar Rejuvenation Liquid!"
"He's not the only one who will be coming here. Dhorfan from Heaven Palace, Amin and Wilbur from Clear Wind Sect, Alia from Ingeni Paradise, and the scions of the five regional families are all renowned prodigies on the True Dragon Board."
"Their reputations are exaggerated in my opinion. The current highest-ranked person the True Dragon Board should be the eccentric Hartberg Mutwalden. Rumor has it that he's an eccentric who sports a very messy appearance. During the battle at the border sea, he purportedly abducted the daughter of King Gyddur, the extraterrestrials' ruler. King Gyddur nearly crossed the river of time just to try and exact revenge on Hartberg."
Severin was momentarily lost in thought as he heard the word 'eccentric' and the name 'Hartberg Mutwalden'.
