Life After Prison

Chapter 1968
The rainbow–colored light descended, and six middle–aged men made their appearance. The leader among them had a
commanding presence, a tall stature, and an imposing demeanor. Heptagold aura seemed to envelop him, and he was brimming
with an imposing aura.
Upon seeing the approaching figure, Severin deduced that the man was likely the peak master of the First Mountain. The first
five mountains in the Grandiuno Sect differed from the last four in focus. The Sixth Mountain specialized in alchemy, the Seventh
Mountain in swordsmanship, the Eighth Mountain in forging equipment, and the Ninth Mountain in formations.
However, the first five mountains were named Heptagold, Hardwood, Clearwater, Wildfire, and Fortearth, corresponding to the
five elements gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It likely indicated the dominant energies on each mountain. Heptagold Mountain
derived its name from the Sky–Soil Heptagold Sword Energy.
Lejeune Limner, the peak master of the Heptagold Mountain, scrutinized Severin as soon as he arrived. Following that careful
glance, Lejeune said in surprise, “I didn’t think it would be possible for anyone to reach complete–stage level five supreme saint
despite only half a year’s worth of training. You’re a well- deserved sixth core disciple.”
Severin was a little lost for words after Lejeune saw through his attainment and offered those compliments to him. He knew that
the peak masters gathered there because he reached the seventh floor, as not even an ordinary elite disciple would be able to
pique their interest.
“You’re too generous, sir. I was just lucky,” Severin replied with a smile.
Lejeune glanced at Severin again and remarked, “It seems you’ve already mastered the Sky–Soil Heptagold Sword Energy. I
happen to have two clusters of heptagold sword energy with me. I shall give them to you.” The two clusters of light infused with a
metallic killing intent materialized before Lejeune.
Severin was overjoyed to see the heptagold sword energy. He had been fretting over where he could find such energy to use in
training, and the opportunity just landed on his lap! He thanked Lejeune and swiftly absorbed the two spheres into his body. “I
appreciate your gesture very much. Thank you again.”
The others presented their gifts to him as well.

“We don’t have all that fancy stuff on our Second Mountain, but seeing as you’ve broken through to the seventh floor of the
Alchemy Tower, I’m sure you’ll soon require some seventh–grade herbs. Here’s a millennia–old Violetshadow Flower!” said the
Second Mountain’s peak master.
Similar generosity followed from the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Mountains guardians, who offered seventh- grade pills, high–rank
sixth–grade herbs, and an earth–based escape technique, respectively. Severin
