Chapter 1208
“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

Many people gathered here─Gloom, Mr. Lee, and an elderly man. The elderly man was wearing an ancient costume. He was smoking a cigar, filling the room with smoke. “Master…” Asher Lee greeted the elderly man respectfully. “What’s the situation outside?” the elderly man smoking the cigar asked. The elderly man was none other than Sky, master of Asher and one of the Elite Four who protected the King of a hundred years ago. “Many have arrived.” Asher continued, “Some of them snuck in. They all possess tremendous strength. They haven’t revealed themselves after arriving at the Mount Thunder Sect, and I believe they will not show themselves until the very last moment tomorrow.” “Who are these people?” Smoking his cigar, Sky’s expression remained composed. Asher replied, “We can’t be sure at the moment.” “By the way, is Mr. Lance here?” Sky asked. “I didn’t spot the Old King anywhere. He should already be here, concealing himself in the shadows,” Asher said. “I understan
Chapter 1213
More and more ancient martial artists gathered at the hall of Mount Thunder Sect. A woman was sitting at the back of the hall. She was about twenty years of age, wearing a golden dress and a crown, and exuding the charisma of an empress. It was Delainey Cabral, the young lady of the Mount Thunder Sect. Ever since Jackson’s demise, she had been slowly taking over the sect. Although she had yet to inherit the position of Sect Leader, she was now the person in charge of the Mount Thunder Sect. Many gathered before her─Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Sylvan Sect, the Five Swirling Blades Sect, and many other great families. “Has the Mount Thunder Sect fallen so low that it needs a young girl to take charge?” asked a disdainful voice. Hearing this, the faces of the Mount Thunder Sect’s disciples darkened. The face of an elderly man beside Delainey darkened. Then, with a wave of his hand, powerful energy sent the martial artist who insulted the Mount Thunder Sect flyi

Delainey nodded and said, “Please keep in mind that this is not a duel to the death. Once one party admits defeat, you’re not allowed to deal the killing blow. Based on previous rules, anyone can enter the arena. You’ll be the new Great Grandmaster if you’re able to defeat everyone else.” Then, she turned to leave. Though there were around ten thousand people there, no one uttered a single word. The atmosphere was tense. No one volunteered to enter the arena. “Hahaha! I’ll have the honor of becoming the first to enter the arena, then.” A voice came. Then, a middle-aged man leaped onto the arena. Boom! The arena shook. Martial artists who had weaker cultivation bases lost their footing and fell. It was Donovan Blithe. He was a sixth-rank martial artist and knew that he would not be able to become the Great Grandmaster with his strength. However, he was here to lead the charge as he knew that there were powerful figures within his family. Scanning the martial artists
Chapter 1215
The ordinary-looking stone wall was around fifty meters tall and thirty meters wide. Looking at the stone wall, Thomas’ expression betrayed the excitement he felt. Once he opened the stone wall, he could enter into the depths of the Snow Cavern and locate the Spirit Turtle. Then, after luring the creature out, he would slay the Spirit Turtle and obtain its blood. Most importantly, the records in the four paintings left behind by the Prince of Orchid revealed that the Spirit Turtle had lived for millennia. After consuming its bile, one would gain tremendous strength. Simon’s expression turned grim. As it had been a thousand years, he was not sure if the Spirit Turtle was still alive, nor about its strength. He also had no idea whether the martial artists outside could successfully slay it. He took a deep breath and walked toward the stone wall. Then, he leaped to the top, where a protruding rock could be seen. He catalyzed true Energy and made contact with the rock. Rumble!
