Chapter 1632
After returning to the Capital, James did not go out for a while and did not bother with anything else.Given that Sky had already promised him not to cause any more trouble, Orient Commerce would no longer stand in his way. He would have an easy time cleaning everything up moving forward.Right now, he was unopposed. Cleaning things up before the election would be a breeze.For the next few days, James remained at home.Since Thea had expressed her desire for a child, they both stayed at home and worked hard at it. The living room, kitchen, and balcony all bore the marks of their activities.When Donovan returned from Divine Sword Villa, he knew the sword in James' possession was indeed the Primordial Sword. He could not wrap his head around it. According to the Grand Patriarch, the Primordial Sword should be in King Quavon's Mausoleum, so why was it in James' hand?During this time, he constantly sent people out to locate the map his ancestor had left in the dungeon beneath t

With a doubtful expression on his face, he regarded the young man in front of him and said, “First and foremost, what information do you have?”“My information is unquestionably priceless. I need a jade token. If you give me that, this information is yours,” said the young man.The Omniscient Deity said indifferently, “The Jade Sect has no rule requiring the jade token to be given first. First, tell me what you know. I’ll give it to you if I determine that it’s worthwhile. If I don't think it's worth it, I'll give you something else in exchange.”The Jade Sect had the best intelligence network in the entire world because it made deals with ancient martial artists. If they had valuable information, the Jade Sect would reward them with a jade token. Those who had a jade token could make a request to the Jade Sect.With the exception of murder and arson, the Jade Sect would agree to anything for this request. The Jade Sect would then share the information they had gathered and let oth

In the ancient martial arts world, the powerful were revered. Seniority would go to the stronger person. Anyone less powerful would be insignificant.The Omniscient Deity was genuinely uncomfortable being referred to as ‘Lord’ by Thea.Thea sat down and did not say anything else.James asked, “What information do you have?”The Omniscient Deity looked at James and said, “You’ll definitely find this information useful. However, there’s a rule in the Jade Sect. If I give you information, you must promise to do something for me in return.”James was aware of this rule.“Let’s hear it first.”“No, you should first make a promise.”As he said that, he took out a token and gave it to James.“This is a jade token. Keep it. When I need you to do something for me, I'll come to retrieve this token from you.”The jade token that the Omniscient Deity gave was different from the one that was given to the Blithe family member. The previous one was a token used to make a request to the Ja

“No ‘buts’.”James’ face was filled with determination. He said definitively, “I'll never let you get hurt again. Be at ease and stay in the Capital. With my current strength and the unmatched Primordial Dragon Blade, there are few in the whole of Sol, if not the entire world, who can defeat me.”Thea could not do much about James' refusal to let her go. She resignedly reminded James, “Be careful. Leave and come back as soon as you can. There are still issues in the Capital that require your attention.”James said with a smile, “Actually, I don't have to deal with that anymore. With the King's abilities, he would be able to handle everything. I've already talked to the King. He said he'd take care of it right away and dissolve Orient Commerce before the election.“I’ve talked to Callan as well. He’ll quickly reorganize the Gu Sect and wipe out the Owens' remaining influences in the process.”Despite not going out the past few days, James had contacted the King and Callan to make t

James raised his eyebrow. “Spread throughout the ancient martial arts world?”“That’s right,” Tapio said with a smile.James questioned, "Who spread the information, and how did you learn about King Quavon's Mausoleum?"At this moment, James felt he had been tricked.The Omniscient Deity had sold him the information about King Quavon's Mausoleum and he had accepted the jade token from the Omniscient Deity, so he had to fulfill a request from him. If the information was already widely spread and everyone knew about it, he was definitely tricked.“Did the Omniscient Deity tell you about it?” James asked again.“No.” Tapio did not keep anything hidden and replied openly, “I have no idea who spread the information either. I just heard something about the Blithe family's history and found out that they’ve obtained the floor plan of the traps in King Quavon's Mausoleum, so I rushed over here. I didn’t expect to see you as soon as I arrived.”Tapio walked toward James, staring at the s

Tapio eventually said, “More than ten years ago, when I was on a journey for my training, I met Thomas, your grandfather. Your grandfather demonstrated a terrifying signature martial art skill. I believe you can probably guess that this martial art skill was Spiritual Art.“At that time, I was defeated. I coveted this martial art skill.“However, your grandfather said that he learned his Spiritual Art at the Mount Thunder Sect. He even told me about its origin, but I made an impulsive decision at the time. I returned to Mount Thunder Sect immediately and asked my father for it. My father, however, refused to give it to me. In a fit of rage, I struck my father and left the Mount Thunder Sect.“After I left Mount Thunder Sect, I met Tyrus. He took me to an ancient tomb, and I learned Spiritual Art there.”Tapio gave a brief account of his experiences during these years.James stared at Tapio, who had a listless expression on his face, and asked, “Your complexion seems strange to me.
Chapter 1638
The Prince of Orchid Mountain was a historical figure from a thousand years ago. From that time until now, there had only been a few generations.The average person had a life expectancy of eighty to ninety years. If they maintained their health, a person could live to be more than a hundred years old. On the other hand, a martial artist, even one with the weakest cultivation base, could live for more than a hundred years.There was a threshold for martial artists before the eighth rank. Before reaching the eighth rank, they could probably live for 160 to 170 years. Once they advanced to the eighth rank, their life expectancy significantly increased. Living to the age of two hundred would not be a problem.As for the ninth rank?Despite the fact that James had never met anyone in the ninth rank and had no idea how long they could live, he could estimate that living to be five hundred years old should not be a problem for them.The Prince of Orchid Mountain was said to be the fir

James did not say anything else.Since this was not the entrance, he did not have to stay there. He turned around and began walking toward the summit. With a stride, he appeared a hundred meters away. With a few strides, he appeared halfway up the mountain.In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the summit. Tapio was not slow either, following closely behind James.The mountain summit had a flat terrain. The ground was completely bare.Looking around the barren landscape, James asked, “Is there an entrance here?”Tapio plopped himself down on the ground and said, “It’s definitely here. Let’s wait here for a while. The Blithes probably haven’t arrived yet.”“I’ll believe you for now.”James also sat down. They sat for over an hour.After more than an hour, some people finally reached the summit.They were a group of people dressed in suits. There were even a few elders among them. The elders were carrying some ancient equipment. The head of the group was the Patriarch of the Bli
