Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1513 Importance of the gathering!

Lady Virelia’s expression shifted, turning noticeably more solemn as she carried on with her explanation.

"Now, I shall reveal the precise reasons why I summoned you here today."

Holding up two fingers, she articulated her points clearly.

"First, I intend to escort you to our ancestral chamber. As the newly anointed Saint of the Black Dragon Clan, you have earned the privilege of entering those halls to select any inheritance technique you wish to master."

Max kept his focus entirely on her words.

"The second reason," she continued, "pertains to an entirely different matter."

Lady Virelia locked eyes with Max.

"Do you remember Elder Joe, who made an appearance during the grand trial?"

Max gave an immediate nod.

It was impossible to erase that man from his memory.

Elder Joe had arrived mid-trial and engaged with the seven family heads as if they were his peers. Even though those heads attempted to mask it, Max had clearly perceived a layer of caution and deference in how they approached Elder Joe.

Clearly, Elder Joe’s status was far from ordinary.

"I remember him vividly," Max replied. "He seemed to occupy a position of significant authority."

Lady Virelia gave a slow nod, satisfied that Max still held the Elder in mind. Her tone deepened as she began clarifying the details.

"He is an Elder of the Violet Star Palace," she stated coolly. "That organization ranks among the preeminent third rate forces within the entire Divine Realm. Their reach spans across numerous star realms, and their disciples are renowned for their incredible discipline and martial prowess."

Max listened in silence as she pressed on.

"Elder Joe arrived here to deliver an official invitation," Lady Virelia noted. "Our Black Dragon Clan has been requested to attend a massive gathering hosted by a second rate force. It is not an exclusive event; many third rate forces are sending their most gifted disciples, and we can be certain that several second rate powers will also dispatch their own geniuses to compete."

Max grasped that this gathering would be far more than just a simple meeting.

Lady Virelia continued her summary.

"The objective of this assembly is simple. It provides the younger generation one final chance to refine their skills before the onset of the Cosmic Ascension Conference. During this event, the attending geniuses will have the chance to exchange techniques, engage in spars, explore trial grounds curated by the hosts, and receive mentorship from experts representing more formidable forces."

She paused for a heartbeat before resuming.

"These opportunities are incredibly rare for cultivators from third rate forces like ours. Ordinarily, our disciples would struggle to cross paths with geniuses from second rate powers. However, this gathering place puts everyone on equal footing. This allows our disciples to challenge a far more diverse array of opponents and gain fresh perspectives regarding their own Cultivation."

Max could already envision the intensity that such a summit would attract.

Lady Virelia leaned forward, her demeanor becoming increasingly grave.

"The entirety of the Divine Realm is currently fixated on one event: the Cosmic Ascension Conference," she declared.

Max was already well-acquainted with the weight of this conference, thanks to Saint Reiner.

"The Cosmic Ascension Conference isn't just another tournament," Lady Virelia emphasized. "It represents the single largest congregation of talent in the Divine Realm. Every star realm sends its most promising prospects to participate. The sheer volume of contestants is something most cannot even fathom."

She took another moment before expanding further.

"This competition affects far more than an individual's reputation. The outcomes directly impact the status of entire Sects. A force whose disciples excel can rise in prominence and earn prestige throughout the Divine Realm. Conversely, those that stumble may lose their standing and fall behind their rivals."

Max instantly understood why the clan Elders were so fixated on these contests.

"For these forces," Lady Virelia remarked, "the conference determines if they ascend into a first rate power or slowly fade into the shadow of weaker third rate entities."

She held Max’s gaze steadily.

"Yet, for the geniuses competing, the stakes are even higher."

Her voice softened slightly, carrying a heavy weight.

"For them, this conference is the stage where the title of the strongest genius in the Divine Realm is decided. Those who reach the peak of that stage will become legendary figures whose names echo across countless star realms."

Because of this, the entire Divine Realm was already deep in preparations.

"Countless forces have begun pouring vast reserves of resources into their youth," Lady Virelia said. "Valuable cultivation materials, hidden techniques, and direct instruction from powerful Elders—everything is being invested into their geniuses. Each force desperately hopes their disciples will outshine the rest during the Cosmic Ascension Conference."

She steered the conversation back to the upcoming gathering.

"This meeting organized by the second rate force served the same goal," Lady Virelia concluded calmly. "It's meant to temper the participants before the Cosmic Ascension Conference commences. For someone like you, Max, it is an invaluable opportunity."

Her eyes remained locked on him as she finalized her point.

"Compared to the absolute geniuses of the Divine Realm, your current strength remains insufficient. The disciples appearing at the Cosmic Ascension Conference are not mere talents. Most will have already advanced to the Law Refinement Realm. Many may even be at the very zenith of that realm."

She voiced these facts without reservation, treating them as immutable truths.

"This gathering will force you to contend with opponents far more dangerous than any you have faced yet. You will observe how geniuses from formidable forces refine their Qi, how they comprehend the laws of the universe, and their methods of combat. More importantly, it is a chance to refine your power before everything is on the line."

Lady Virelia leaned back, her tone thoughtful.

"The distance between your current state and the premier geniuses of the Divine Realm is vast. However, your latent potential is your greatest advantage. If given the right time and sufficient opportunities, you might close that gap faster than anyone suspects. This meeting is exactly one of those critical opportunities."
