Chapter 1145
The mountain peak was relatively flat.As far as the eye could see, the landscape was covered in a blanket of white. This made it feel as though it was not actually nighttime.The old man brought James to the mountain peak, waved his hand, and a burst of force came forth from his palm.The power surged forward, and the block of ice before him slowly started to melt away to gradually reveal a stone table along with several stone chairs.The old man walked over, sat down, and beckoned at James. He pointed to the chair beside him and said, “Young man, no need for stuffy formalities. Sit down.”James walked over, sat down, and looked at the old man curiously. He could not figure out the identity of this mysterious elder.He knew this old man was undoubtedly a member of Mount Thunder Sect, but it was hard to guess exactly who he was.“Sir… who exactly are you?”“Haha…” the old man laughed and his eyes sparkled in glee.“Wait here. I’ll go get us some wine.”As soon as he finished
Chapter 1146
“What kind of wine is this?” James wore a mystified look as he peered closer at the jade glass.The old man smiled at him and said, “It’s Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine. It’s also known as Sacred Snow Lotus Wine.”James could not help but pick up the glass in awe. He swirled around the few drops of wine and sniffed it.A sweet, cloying scent spread in his nose, and he could feel his body’s True Energy respond excitedly to it.“This is amazing,” James exclaimed.After exclaiming in wonder, he proceeded to lift the glass to his lips.Before he could savor the wine, the wine glass was immediately snatched away from his hand.“First, I’ll have to see if you’re worthy of drinking this wine.”James raised his head and saw the old man looking back at him cheekily with James’ glass in his hands.James was captivated by the wine.The wine was extraordinary and a mere sniff made his True Energy react so strongly. If he took a sip then…“Sir, is there a requirement to drink this wine?”
Chapter 1147
James drank the miraculous drop of wine.When the drop of wine entered James’ stomach, he felt a fire lit deep within his body. His True Energy acted as the kindling, constantly allowing the flames to keep burning and energy continually surged throughout his body.While James was focused on absorbing the energy, the old man stood at the cliff’s edge not far away with his hands on his back. His eyes gazed quietly into the distance.The night passed by quickly.James spent the whole night absorbing the energy from the single drop of Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine.He found that his True Energy had become much more potent after the night had come and gone.He finished his meditation and let out a long sigh. Then, he stood up and said, “Thank you, Sir.”The old man turned around.He took a step forward and appeared before James instantly. He sat down on one of the stone chairs and rubbed his chin. “Not bad. It’s only been one night, and you’ve already managed the absorb and refine t

The old man smiled faintly. He raised his hand and a terrifying aura immediately began emanating from it. Instantly, the collapsing snow-capped mountain the distance froze as if stopped in time.“This…?” James was flabbergasted. “His aura…”He had sensed a similar aura before.When he was in Mount Littleroot, he managed to damage Donovan to the point where he was throwing up blood. After Donovan asked for help, he sensed a similar aura. This power coveted by martial artists around the globe was able to move the winds and clouds themselves.James had a suspicion that the old man before him was an eighth-rank martial artist, also known as Celestial Raiser.Feeling the possibility arise, James opened his mouth.“Sir, are you perhaps… A grandmaster of the eighth rank?”“Haha…” the old man stroked his white beard and laughed cryptically.This was his unspoken affirmation that he was indeed an eighth-rank grandmaster. James took a deep breath. He never expected to meet someone of t
Chapter 1149
The eighth rank, Celestial Raiser, could move the winds and clouds with just a burst of their energy.It was impossible for Jackson Cabral not to have sensed the immense power needed for that.Since the most significant martial art event, the Mount Thunder Conference was upon them, it was normal for eighth-ranked grandmasters to appear around this time.“Dad, this person has caused such a huge commotion among the Mount Thunder Sect members. It’s obviously a provocation directed at us. Our sect sent out all our martial artists a hundred years ago and suffered severe casualties. We’ve finally recovered from it after such a long time. If someone were to ambush us right now, I’m afraid our sect…”The creases on Delainey’s face grew even deeper.“Also, the Mt. Thunder Snow Lotus Wine was stolen.”“What?!”Jackson’s expression darkened, and he asked in a voice that barely repressed his anger, “When was it stolen?”“Yesterday.”Jackson realized the severity of the situation. “Many el

Meanwhile, Maxine swung open the door of a secluded villa located in Cansington’s Military Region. The villa was surrounded by numerous fully armed soldiers.The moment she tried to walk out, several soldiers stood in her path. They kneeled on the ground abruptly and pleaded, “Ms. Maxine, please don’t make this difficult for us. Our superiors have given us our orders and failure to execute them will result in us receiving the death penalty. If we let you leave today, we’ll be punished by military law. In the best-case scenario, we’d be stripped of our rank and dismissed from the army. In the worst-case scenario, we’ll be subject to the death penalty.”When she heard this, Maxine furrowed her brows worriedly.Her acupoints had been unsealed since last night, and she wanted to leave but had come face to the soldiers who were begging her to comply out of fear of losing their own lives.At that moment, Thea also walked out of the villa and also saw the kneeling soldiers.Since she had

The Blithe King grumbled worriedly.He quickly left the office and headed toward the villa where Maxine and Thea were being held. Soon, he appeared at the door and gave it a light knock.Thea and Maxine were still formulating a plan when they heard the unexpected knock on the door. Maxine stood up and said while walking over to the door, “I’ll go get it.”She opened the door and saw the Blithe King standing outside.“Ms. Maxine,” the Blithe King greeted her with a smile.“Come inside.”Maxine turned and led him into the villa.The Blithe King walked through the door.Seeing the Blite King, Thea stood up furiously and yelled at him, “What do you mean by this, Blithe King? How long do you plan to keep us trapped?”The Blithe King replied awkwardly, “Ms. Thea, you can’t blame me for this. James issued the order specifically prohibiting you and Maxine from leaving. Failure to carry out our duty means our soldiers will be executed. I hope this explains why I can’t let you leave f

“Haha. Not bad, young man. I’ve grown rather fond of you. Here, there are a few drops of wine left. You can drink it all. It won’t help you break through the Summit, but it can help increase your True Energy.”James was elated upon being granted permission to drink more of the legendary wine.Unlike the first time, the effects were not as potent this time around.He started to absorb and refine the energy from the wine. In a mere hour, he had completely assimilated the Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine’s energy and made it his own.“By the way…”After absorbing the energy, James remembered something and said, “Sir, I’ve encountered a problem. Could I trouble you for some guidance?”“It’s no trouble at all. Go on. Speak.”“A few of my friends were captured by an enemy. I suspect they’re members of the Gu Sect. They demanded I come to Mt. Thunder in advance to assassinate Mount Thunder Sect’s leader. In exchange, they assured me that they’d the hostages. What should I do?”James stil
