The Almighty Dragon General

James was immediately intrigued. Xandros once told him that the powerful figure gardening the Ancestral God Rank Elixir would
be able to recognize Crucifier upon being summoned.
“You know the Ancestral God Rank Elixir?” James tried asking.
Helvius looked at him. At that moment, he could roughly guess James’ identity.
He nodded slightly.
Then, he reminisced and said slowly, “Due to a great upheaval in the Primeval Age, the Ancestral God of the human race
concocted the Ancestral God Rank Elixir and sealed this region away. The Ancestral God handed the elixir to the Elixir Pavilion
for safeguarding purposes, stating that a fated one with Crucifier and Exalter in his possession would one day appear to retrieve
the elixir many eons later. All this while, the Elixir Pavilion has obeyed the instructions of the Ancestral God.”
“However, one day, the Elixir Pavilion was annihilated, and only a handful of members survived. Meanwhile, the Ancestral God
Rank Elixir was divided into several portions. One of them remained in the hands of a descendent of the Pavilion. Meanwhile, the
Old Master of the Pavilion was among those who survived the catastrophe. He concentrated on cultivating and eventually
crossed into the Grand Emperor Rank. Then, he re-established the Elixir Pavilion.”
“Our duty is to safeguard the Ancestral God Rank Elixir. Yet, the elixir was divided into several fragments during the war. Now,
the whereabouts of the other fragments are unknown. All these years, after extensive investigations, we learned that one of the
fragments is in the hands of the Sanctuary.”
Helvius narrated the past events.
Hearing this, James’ expression was grim.
He never expected that this Elixir Pavilion was the one he was looking for and that the Ancestral God Rank Elixir would shatter
into several fragments during a war.
“What happened? Why did the elixir shatter into numerous fragments?” James asked.
Helvius sighed and said, “Though the Elixir Pavilion has always kept a low profile, news of the Ancestral God Rank Elixir spread,
attracting the attention of many powerful individuals. The seniors of the Pavilion have almost been completely wiped out.
Fortunately, the Ancestral God Rank Elixir was safeguarded by a Magic Circle set up by the Ancestral God. However, with the
passage of time, the Magic Circle was no longer as powerful as before.

“Back then, there were too many powerful individuals that showed up. Their consecutive attacks have caused the Magic Circle to
suffer some damage. There is a Restriction on the Magic Circle’s interior. The moment the Magic Circle came under attack by
outside forces, the elixir would divide into different fragments and be dispersed all over the world. Back then, the Old Master was
but a minor disciple of the Pavilion. Though his strength was insignificant, one of the fragments fell into his hands. At the same
time, he even obtained the inheritance left behind by the Ancestral God. That was how he rose rapidly through the ranks.”
As he said that, an elderly man walked out of the wooden house from a distance away. His face was shriveled, and his hair was
completely white.
Helvius stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Old Master.”
It was Silvester Daniela.
Silvester waved slightly and glanced at James. Then, he walked toward them and took a seat, saying, “After so many years, the
fated one has finally appeared. This means that the Fourth Calamity of humankind is just around the corner.”
James nodded and said, “Yes, it is as you said. I came to the Boundless Realm in search of the Ancestral God Rank Elixir. Only
with the elixir can I resolve the crisis.”
Silvester sighed and chided himself, “The Elixir Pavilion owes you an apology. Due to sheer incompetence and dereliction of duty
on our part, the Ancestral God Rank Elixir is lost, fragmented into many pieces.”
James asked, “Since each of the Elixir Pavilion and the Sanctuary has one, what about the rest?”
Silvester shook his head.
For many Great Eons, he had been investigating the whereabouts of the Ancestral God Rank Elixir. However, he had no idea
where they were now.
