None of the cultivators present could have predicted that the battle between James and Byron would trigger the sudden initiation of the Chaos Arena.
Now that the Chaos Arena was open to all, more Quasi Chaos Rank cultivators and Chaos Rank cultivators would be joining the event naturally. Those cultivators, who had voluntarily transferred into the Caelum Acme Rank from the Quasi Chaos Rank, were positively fuming and inwardly blaming James for causing this awkward situation. It would take them a long time to re-enter their original cultivation rank, and their sacrifice earlier was all for naught.
All battles were paused during the period the passage to the Chaos Arena was left open.
As for the participants who had chosen to remain in the Boundless state of the Caelum Acme Rank, these men had been aiming for the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra all along. Following the upgrade of the battle arena, the competition for the prizes would become fiercer correspondingly. Most of those men swiftly decided to enter a closed-door meditation and level up as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming battles, especially the cultivators from secret clans or sects, who had trained in the Boundless state of the Caelum Acme Rank for an exceedingly long time.
Wynton turned his gaze toward James. “What are your plans after this? Are you also going to conduct a closed-door meditation and enter the Quasi Chaos Rank?”
James shook his head. “The battle of the Chaos Arena would probably go on for quite some time. Also, I think I still have room for improvement within the Boundless state of the Caelum Acme Rank.”
Wynton merely rolled his eyes upon hearing James’ words.
“Dad.” James and Wynton heard the soft voice of a lady coming from behind them. It was Livie.
James couldn’t help but beam broadly as soon as he noticed Livie. He was confident that he could last in the Chaos Arena since he had Livieʼs help anyhow.
“Did you see Thea, Livie?” James asked.
Livie dropped her gaze. “No, I havenʼt. I have been waiting and keeping an eye out for Mom all this time. Yet, I didnʼt see or sense her presence even until now.”
As he paused briefly, Jamesʼ expression hardened visibly. “Now that they are combining the Boundless Arena and Chaos Arena, secret clans or sects would send more of their finest cultivators here to join the battle. Perhaps even cultivators who had reached the Chaos Rank before the creation of the ten districts would be heading here too.”
“Donʼt worry.” Yardos replied calmly, “Winning these battles requires luck too. Besides, you don't really need the treasure from the Boundless Arena.”
James did not need to obtain the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra since he had already mastered its content.
James curled his lips and leaned closer to Yardos. He asked in a low voice, “Did you manage to obtain any new sacred scrolls?”
An enigmatic smile played across Yardosʼ lips. “You are the only person who can put the sacred scrolls to good use. After passing the Welkin Districtʼs sacred scroll to you, I’ve met with the district leader of the Presta District and obtained their sacred scroll by striking a deal with him.”
