Tap! Tap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes danced in the air as the feet of a beast stepped on the snow and moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the beast landed on the snow, it moved forward a couple of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds after the beast left, sound finally caught up and a loud blast filled the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold winds on the snowfield were replaced by fast, hot, and explosive shockwaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the beast's feet touched the snow, they exerted tremendous strength and lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha! Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge cracks started in the area and spread onwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the clouds, it looked like someone was simultaneously blowing away the snow with fierce winds, cracking the ice like cobwebs and raising the temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a giant white wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its snowy fur blended with the falling snow and its powerful legs continued to dig into the ice to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the snow fell, only a pair of green eyes shone in the endless white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant wolf finally reached the end of the snow. The white ended and the green began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started as tiny sprouts here and there until everything under the sky was filled with green plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles ran all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was equally indifferent to the snow and the grassland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he remained indifferent to the swamps, savannas, deserts, and valleys he crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't remain indifferent after reaching the Ruler's Abode. To be precise, the entrance to its entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The region, known as the mystic range was a mountain range shrouded under mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a mist that wasn't penetrable even by level 9's senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to enter the region was through one of the three valleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip! Drip! Drip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was raining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raindrops were cold and infused with water mana. The sky glowed in blue as it poured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the raindrops touched the mist covering the mountains, they bounced back and fell on the awakeners standing in front of the three valleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles stood in front of one such valley. Behind him, his team of ten level 8s stood quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mana barriers couldn't stop the rain as it passed through their barriers and drenched them cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water mana entering their body made them uncomfortable. It was like an itch that couldn't be scratched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was like an itch on the whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one made a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because by the time they came here, Charles was already waiting for thirty minutes in the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young master of the Xanders looked at the open valley with hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist that covered the mountain range was absent at the valley entrance, so the pebble-strewn path was clearly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the brown and black pebbles, there were peculiar whites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't pebbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many?\" Charles asked in a neutral tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-seven princes and princesses died last year.\" One of his team members replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Charles' eyes narrowed and his vision focused further into the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the bones were ignored, it was a normal valley. Grass covered the slopes of the valley while trees, small and large were scattered across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several small streams flowed down the slopes and formed a river that extended into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river's flow clashed against the pebbles and the harmonious sound of nature resounded in the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the river, flowerbeds sprang up and painted a beautiful picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valley was as beautiful as it could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was only half the picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river was filled with water beasts, the pebbles were actually stone creatures, the trees were morphers, and the flowers had powers ranging from fire awakeners to psychics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-seven died to these monsters?\" Charles snickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was the pressure that killed most. Not the monsters.\" Hira, his newest subordinate, replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pressure, huh.\" Charles nodded lightly and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he took another step, the awakeners standing in front of the three valley entrances turned their gazes toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd consisted of level 7s, 8s, and even 9s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either they had no keys and were waiting for their teams to bring them one or they secured the keys and were waiting for their team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also meant that weaker awakeners, like level 7s and level 8s, were exposed to strong level 9s who had no keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a perfect recipe for bullying and snatching keys from weaker ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the level 9s were strictly warned against such actions by the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Most of the keys needed to be won in open areas. You already have an overwhelming advantage there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level 8s and level 7s can only win keys from the level restricted areas. If you still snatch the keys from them, how can any of them grow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we do that to our geniuses, we will kill our future.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was bitter but true. So, begrudgingly, most level 9 agreed. The rest were forced to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the crowd here was relatively peaceful with no fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, fightings within the same level still occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Charles' appearance, they all paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, is that Charles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't he level 6? How dare he come here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a lot of people knew he advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! This son of a bitch is too strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He knocked out Prince Adios with a single kick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust me, he took down ten princes all by himself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also those that knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…But why is he walking towards the level 8 valley entrance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…For fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Charles was about to step inside the valley, an invisible barrier blocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Only level 8s, huh.' He took a breath and walked to the level 7 valley entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he raised his foot into the valley, he wasn't blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the valleys segregated the awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't out of kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped into the valley, a terrifying pressure enveloped Charles. His body shook violently and he hurriedly channeled prana to stabilize himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, this is the pressure, huh.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles' brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a normal obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was pressure from the aura. It was something beyond what even a Sovereign was capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why the valleys segregated awakeners on their levels. If they all went through the same path, the mere pressure on a level 9 would be enough to kill most level 7s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huf! Huff!\" Charles breathed in and out as he slowly got the hang of the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His prana slowed down considerably and he could feel his strength dropping under this pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But it doesn't matter. I can do it.' Charles had unshakeable confidence in himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master!\" His team called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles turned around and looked at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of work, they found a few treasures that could break disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the treasure he got from the mirror house was the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's meet at the ruler's abode.\" Charles waved at his team and nodded at the level 9 robed man in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robed man nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then,\" Charles turned around and looked ahead with brimming confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was no aura pressure and no monsters, he'd have reached the ruler's abode in one hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there were monsters, then, he'd have taken at most 3 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the aura pressure added on top of monsters, he needed a staggering 11 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Charles wasn't intimidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were level 7s who needed whopping 20 days for the same journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among level 7s, he was one of the fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the consolidation of his strength and practice in the mirror house, he was now able to completely control his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident of crushing any typical high level 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruler's Abode, here I come!\" He channeled his prana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prana exploded out of his body and he turned into a giant white wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey began.\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-06T07:58:24.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","e9e4c0ae8d4f7ab6f90aa485d5c994e97df3172578f48c858c49da25ac2307c1","divine-path-system-chapter-586","divine-path-system-chapter-584",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
