The Almighty Dragon General

The woman was Jadranka, the greatest Official in the Elixir Pavilion. She was a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven and was at
the same cultivation rank as the current Pavilion Master of Elixir Pavilion, Helvius.
Jadranka walked in front of Helvius and noticed his worried expression. She could not help but inquire. “What’s on your mind?”
The middle-aged man the current Pavilion Master of the Elixir Pavilion. He was the epitome of strength in the Boundless Realm.
Helvius murmured, “A storm is brewing.”
Jadranka was puzzled by his words and asked, “What do you mean?”
Helvius turned to her and asked, “Do you remember the disaster from one hundred Epochs ago?”
Hearing this, Jadranka nodded slightly and said, “How could I forget? More than a hundred Epochs ago, when had I just become
a Grand Emperor, there was a calamity that devastated all the living beings of our world.”
Helvius said, “Correct. The Sanctuary of Darkness was the cause of the disaster. It’s speculated the Sanctuary of Darkness’
Master needed many souls from the living to perform Curse Magic. Therefore, he laid waste to the world.”
Jadranka asked, “Why are you bringing this up now, Pavilion Master?”
“A hundred Epochs have passed since that incident. Since then, we have been investigating the whereabouts of the Sanctuary
of Darkness. However, they seemingly vanished from this world, and I was unable to find any traces of them. Yet, not long ago, I
heard news about them again. According to the news, the Sanctuary of Darkness had caused a commotion in the Eidolon
Realm. They attempted to revive a powerhouse, but their plans were fortunately thwarted by a peerless powerhouse.”
“The Sanctuary of Darkness had gone into hiding for over a hundred Epochs. Now that they’ve shown up again, I have a feeling
something bad is about to happen.”
Helvius was a Grand Emperor at the Fifth Heaven. Although he had not practiced Extrapolation Art, he could easily sense the
secrets hiding in the shadows at his cultivation rank. These few days, he had been having a bad premonition.
He could tell something was about to happen.
However, he still could not pinpoint what exactly it was.

Jadranka said smilingly, “What could possibly happen? The Old Master is still here within the Elixir Pavilion. The Sanctuary of
Darkness wouldn’t dare to show themselves so easily.”
Helvius sighed. “I hope so.”
He then turned to Jadranka and asked, “By the way, what brings you here? You rarely visit Sky City.”
Jadranka replied, “I ran into a small issue during my cultivation and wanted to discuss it with the Old Master. He is well versed in
all Paths, so I figured he could help enlighten me. Then, I can improve to a higher rank and perhaps even reach the Sixth
Heaven.”
After hearing this, Helvius said, “The Old Master has been in seclusion for a long time and hasn’t accepted any visitors ever
since. Would you like me to inform him at the holy site on your behalf?”
“Thank you for the trouble.” Jadranka clasped her hands together.
Helvius smiled and said, “We’re like family. You don’t have to be so polite.”
After speaking, Helvius turned and left.
Jadranka stood at the city wall and watched as Helvius walked away.
When Helvius completely disappeared from sight, her body gradually vanished and left wisps of black energy. The energy
quickly sped toward the distance.
Helvius did not notice anything amiss.
The Sky City was located on the main mountain of the Elixir Pavilion.
Behind the main mountain was another mountain. This mountain looked like a sharp sword that pierced the sky and was
connected to the Sky City.
The sword-like mountain was a restricted area of the Elixir Pavilion called Mount Truskie.
The Old Master of the Elixir Pavilion had secluded himself on Mount Truskie.

Helvius had not visited Mount Truskie for many years. When he arrived, he raised his hand, and mysterious inscriptions emerged
from his palm. They slowly dispersed into the air, and a large formation quietly came into view.
He casually waved his hand, and a crack formed in the formation.
