“Alright now, you’re dismissed. I’ll go look for the Supreme Leader.” Lucjan waved slightly, and the Twelve Zodiac turned to leave. After thinking for a moment, Lucjan also turned to leave. Behind the mountain of Mount Thunder Sect… There were many manors inhabited by renowned martial artists of the ancient martial world, and Lucjan arrived at one of them. Eight masked men in black robes were standing in front of the gates. “Deputy Leader,” they greeted Lucjan respectfully. Without returning the greeting, Lucjan walked straight into the courtyard. Many people were gathered there, and all of them were wearing black robes and black masks. “Deputy Leader.” They also greeted Lucjan respectfully, but he simply walked toward a room and opened the door. Many people were gathered there. They, too, were all wearing masks. “He’s here,” came a voice. The one who spoke was a man in a black robe. However, his mask was quite unlike the others. He was wearing a red mask with

Lucjan frowned. He sincerely sought to win James over to his side and had never thought of taking advantage of him. However, since the Supreme Leader had given the order, he could not refute it. He simply nodded and said, “Got it.” “Alright now, you’re free to go.” Callan waved. Lucjan stood up and left. After leaving the courtyard, Thomas put on his mask and went in search of James. When he arrived at the door of the wooden house James was in, Aphrodite and Venus stood in his way. “Who’s there?” Thomas looked at the two. Though he was wearing a mask, his eyes were bloodshot, as if they belonged to a demon. With a simple glance, Aphrodite and Venus were rooted to the spot, petrified. Then, Thomas opened the door. James was lying on the bed. Hearing that the door was opened, he thought it was Thea, “Why are you back so soon? Did you not manage to find Grandpa?” “It’s me,” Thomas said, Upon hearing Thomas’ voice, James immediately got up and looked at the masked man

James waved slightly and said, “It’s alright. You must be tired. Get some rest for now.” He did not tell Thea that his injuries had recovered. The fewer people who knew this, the better for him. Thea was fatigued. She walked over to the bed and collapsed on it. Pulling at James, she said, “Darling, you should take a rest too.” “It’s too stuffy in here. I’m going out for a walk.” After knowing what Callan intended to do, he wanted to have a walk outside to see if he could bump into Jackson. He could try to relay the information to him and warn him to make preparations in advance. Thea hurriedly got up and said, “How can you move about when you’re injured? Everyone outside is trying to kill you. You’ll be in danger if you wander around outside.” “It’s alright,” James said smilingly. “We have entered a tacit agreement, after all. They’ll only attack me when the conference commences. Besides, I’ll just be having a stroll around these parts. Who would dare attack me with Lucjan’

“I think I accidentally fell asleep just now.” “Really? I felt the same too. It’s like my mind went blank all of a sudden.” They conversed in whispers outside, thinking that their minds momentarily went blank. They did not know that their acupuncture points were struck, and they had completely lost all of their senses. After returning to the room, James lay on the bed and slept. At the same time, at the summit of a snow-capped mountain of the Mount Thunder Sect… It was the highest peak in all of the Mount Thunder Sect. An elderly man wearing a mask arrived there. He scanned his surroundings as if searching for something. “A guest…”A voice reverberated throughout the mountains. Then, a rugged white-bearded elderly man silently appeared. The elderly man wearing a mask turned his head. “Since you’re here, there’s no need to hide your appearance.” Hearing this, the elderly man removed his mask. It was Thomas. “To think that you’re still alive, Simon Cabral.” Thoma

“Ninth-rank is the pinnacle of martial art strength. However, it’s nigh impossible to make a breakthrough into the ninth rank. With what limited lifespan humans have, it’s impossible to climb the Skyward Stairway. The Skyward Stairway of the ninth rank has never been reached by any human being. “Only by achieving immortality can one climb the Skyward Stairway and reach the ninth rank. “The Spirit Turtle has lived for many years. Once I kill it and drink its blood, I will achieve immortality and obtain enormous strength.” The more Thomas spoke, the more agitated he was. “Once I have an unlimited lifespan, I can establish a new dynasty.” “You’re insane!” Simon cried out. “I’m not insane,” Thomas corrected him. Then, he turned to look at Simon and instantly appeared before him. Looking at Simon, he asked, “Don’t you wish to attain immortality? You’re nearing your end too. Aren’t you fearful of death? Aren’t you afraid of the nothingness after death?” “Thomas, you are being

“What do you think, Simon?” Thomas looked at Simon. He required his cooperation. Although the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s men were completely annihilated on an expedition to slay the Spirit Turtle, the creature which was gravely injured concealed itself in the depths of the Snow Cavern. Meanwhile, the Prince of Orchid returned for more men and sealed off the Snow Cavern. Only the inheritors of the Mount Thunder Sect could deactivate the mechanisms. Without Simon’s help, Thomas could not enter the Snow Cavern and lure the Spirit Turtle out. “I can not promise you this, Thomas.” Simon shook his head and said, “You have become deranged. If I allow you to slay the Spirit Turtle and attain immortality, your existence alone would mean disaster to the world.” “Preposterous!” Thomas cursed. “You don’t understand, Simon. It’s near impossible for a human being to live past a hundred years. Even martial artists like us can only live for an additional few decades. What can mankind ac

Simon was put in a difficult position. He was weighing the pros and cons. Immortality was certainly alluring to everyone, including himself. As he was nearing his end, he had become increasingly fearful of death. However, he was more worried about things escalating out of control. “Thomas, are you really capable of slaying the Spirit Turtle?” Simon asked. Though he had guarded this place for a century, he had never entered the Snow Cavern. As such, he knew nothing about the Spirit Turtle’s appearance or strength. The information was passed down through word-of-mouth from his predecessors in the Mount Thunder Sect from generation to generation. There were no records whatsoever. “Of course.” Confidently, Thomas said, “What’s the point of being here if I can’t slay it?” “Tell me about your plan.” Thomas smiled. He walked over to the stone chairs and took a seat. Simon sat opposite Thomas, furrowing his eyebrows. Thomas said, “Here’s my plan. Once the Mount Thunder Confer

James slept soundly that night. For the next two days, he remained inside the room and did not wander about outside. In the blink of an eye, the Mount Thunder Conference was about to begin. On the day before the Conference… At the mountain gate of the Mount Thunder Sect… Looking at Thea, James said, “Thea, tomorrow’s the Conference. Leave now and return to Cansington.” Thea was reluctant to leave. She was not afraid to die and wanted to stay by James’ side. However, she knew that James’ heart would not be at ease if she remained. “Be careful, alright? Remember to not act recklessly. I’ll be waiting for you back in Cansington.” “I understand. Now, go.” James waved. Thea hugged James tightly. “Take care, Darling.” Then, she turned to leave. James remained rooted to the spot. As he watched Thea leave, he breathed a sigh of relief. From afar, a woman was silently observing the situation. Only after did Thea leave did she walk over to James and said smilingly, “You
