The Green Emperor's Pagoda was abuzz with chatter from the countless disciples, and the gossip became even more exciting when one of them from the First Mountain divulged the news of Severin's progress to supreme paragon.
Francis and the other core disciples who had been a little complacent about their recent advancement to the royal paragon fell silent momentarily. A sense of powerlessness crept into their hearts. In just half a year, they could see the clear rift widening between them and Severin. Had it not been for the pagoda's effect, they might have remained stuck at mere level nine paragons.
Meanwhile, Severin had already surpassed them, possibly reaching level seven or eight royal paragon before embarking on his journey to Northsea. As a supreme paragon practitioner, he wielded unparalleled influence throughout the Bleurealm and was thus capable of shaking the very foundations of the land with a mere stamp of his feet.
Several of the core disciples smiled wryly and shook their heads. They abandoned their seclusion and swiftly departed from the Green Emperor's Pagoda.
"Congratulations to all of you on your breakthroughs to royal paragon! Our sacred land is now further strengthened with your presence!" Francis and others extended their congratulations.
Facing their well-wishes, Diane and the other girls smiled and responded, "Thank you, you're too kind."
Severin then exited the Green Emperor's Pagoda and chanced upon the disciples congratulating his wives. On a whim, he decided to hand over some seventh- and eighth-grade pills to them from his spatial ring.
"Since we were lucky to receive double blessings, here are some pills for all of you."
