Surviving was Tobias’ top priority.“I’ll pass on the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals to you right now.”“What?” Tobias looked puzzled.Thomas explained, “It’s the signature martial art technique James cultivated. It’s how James managed to recover his strength and become a top expert.”“Alright, hurry…”Tobias could not wait.Thomas began to teach him the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals.At the same time, he used his True Energy to maintain Tobias’ vitality and keep him alive.Meanwhile, James was already on his way back to Southern Plains City.He was completely unaware that Thomas had left earlier to look for Tobias and set up his plans to slay the dragon.James drove back to Southern Plains City.Thea sat in the passenger seat and stared out the window in a daze.Delainey sat in the back row without saying anything.The car ride was quiet, and the atmosphere felt a little off.“By the way…”James suddenly turned to Thea, who was staring blankly out the window, and asked, “Thea,
Thea had no other wishes.She simply wanted to use the limited time she had left to have a child with James as proof of their love. That alone was enough for her.James looked at her and made a vow. “I will cure you. I may have lost Crucifier, but I’ll find it and help you extend your life span by returning your blood to normal.”Thea fell silent.She knew her body’s condition well.Her blood had already fused with the Spirit Turtle’s blood.Her blood had been engulfed by the Spirit Turtle’s blood, and the two types of blood fused into one.After she absorbed the power within the Spirit Turtle’s blood, her blood mutated and could no longer regenerate. She could only rely on her body's existing blood, which would not last her very long.No matter how miraculous Crucifier was, it would not be capable of helping her blood regenerate.There was no other blood like hers on earth.There was no one who could transfuse blood to her.However, she did not want to shatter James’ hope.
James shook his head and said, “I’ve heard of the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb being in the Southern Plains, but I’ve never visited it before. I have no idea where it is as well. Why do you ask?”The Omniscient Deity did not answer James’ question and continued asking, “Then, have you ever met the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s descendant?”James fell into deep thought upon hearing the question.A person suddenly flashed in his mind.When he arrived at Mt. Thunder Pass, he met a man named Tyrus. He had fought with this man.Tyrus was powerful, and his True Energy was on par with James’.However, he seemed to have profound knowledge of martial arts. James would not have been a match for him if not for the Invincible Body Siddhi.He was unsure whether Tyrus was a descendant of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.After thinking for a while, he said, “No. However, I did meet a man named Tyrus Lafleur near Mt. Thunder Pass about ten days ago and fought him.”The Omniscient De
James stopped the Omniscient Deity from leaving.However, the Omniscient Deity did not stop. He turned around and left the Black Dragon Palace.James touched his chin and murmured, “What kind of sword is it?”He had heard of Divine Sword Villa.Some time ago, Callan had brought back Excalibur and headed to Divine Sword Villa, requesting them to help reforge the sword.However, Divine Sword Villa refused to help.Therefore, Callan fought with the owner of Divine Sword Villa.After defeating him, Divine Sword Villa finally agreed to reforge Excalibur.Another legendary weapon was about to be born from Divine Sword Villa.Moreover, it was a sword forged for more than a thousand years.What kind of legendary weapon was worth being forged for more than a thousand years?James was intrigued by the sword.On top of that, Lucjan had headed to Divine Sword Villa. Therefore, he would also need to visit them to retrieve Crucifier.After thinking for a while, James sat down.He looke
Henry exclaimed.“The Celestial Sect’s leader. That’s one of the strongest figures to exist in the ancient martial world. I never expected Thea, who still needed to be protected just some time ago, to become so strong in just half a year. I feel so ashamed that I’ve only just cultivated my True Energy. I’m only a first-ranked grandmaster. Thea could kill me instantly with just one move.”Henry felt ashamed.He was no match for her at all.“Huff.”James sighed.“What’s the matter, James?”“Nothing.”James closed his eyes, putting everything behind his mind.In the backyard of the Cadens’ mansion.Maxine was lying on a bed in a room.Inside the room, Bennett took out a jug of wine and poured a glass for James.James asked, “How’s Maxine?”Bennett sighed. “Her condition isn’t looking too good. Every day, I have to use my True Energy to prolong her life.”“Let me take a look.”James got up and went to the bedside.Maxine was wearing white pajamas, lying on the bed. Her eyes
Callan invited James and Thea into the room to sit down.“James, Thea, what would you like to drink?” asked Quincy.“Anything is fine,” Thea replied softly.Quincy asked again, “What about you, James?”“Anything for me too.”James was not here for a casual visit but to ask Callan about some things.Callan sat down and went straight to the point. “James, I know you won’t visit for nothing. There must be something up if you’re here to see me. You can cut to the chase.”James nodded and said, “Mhm. There is indeed something I need from you. I’d like to inquire about Divine Sword Villa.”“Oh?”Callan’s curiosity was piqued. He looked at James with curiosity and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about Divine Sword Villa?”James did not hide anything and told him about the information he had gotten from the Omniscient Deity.“Is that so?”After hearing this, Callan fell into thought.“A legendary sword is about to be born from Divine Sword Villa? Why have I not heard of this?”
After thinking for a while, he said solemnly, “The situation is very complicated. She has a problem with her blood. Not only has she absorbed the Spirit Turtle’s blood, but her blood has also mutated. This would’ve been difficult enough to treat even if her blood had not mutated. I’m afraid that even modern medicine can’t get the job done.”James asked, “Is there no other way?”“She can only go through an exchange transfusion.”Callan thought for a while and said, “She’ll have to replace her current blood with new blood. Her organs have already adapted to the Spirit Turtle’s blood, and they’re depending on it. Ordinary blood won’t be good enough for her.“Only blood stronger than the Spirit Turtle’s will work. Even so, there’s no guarantee that this’ll succeed. After she goes through an exchange transfusion, she might face complications like her blood being unable to regenerate or it being incompatible with her body’s organs, which will lead to death.”Callan explained his underst
To be honest, James was not confident in his abilities to cure Thea either.There were no records in the medical book about conditions similar to Thea’s.His only hope was for Crucifier to perform a miracle.The two returned home together.At home, James accompanied Thea for the rest of the day.He initially planned to leave for Divine Sword Villa the next morning.He remembered the information he had obtained from the Omniscient Deity. He would have to look for the King if he wanted to know about Xavion’s whereabouts.James pondered for a while and decided that he should settle this matter before heading to Divine Sword Villa.Early in the morning, he bid farewell to Thea and left the house. He headed to Peace Mansion and met with the King.The King had had his power stripped from him. Apart from his nominal title, he had no absolute authority, nor was he needed in any meetings. All matters, regardless of their importance, were handled by the candidates running for the title
