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

Why would Donovan let James tag along? Even if he were beaten to a pulp, he would not allow it.“Are you not going inside?” James said with a huge smile on his face, “That would be ideal. Give me the floor plan of the traps, then. I'll go on my own.”As he said that, he moved closer to Donovan.Donovan moved back slightly.Whoosh!The Blithe family members quickly drew their swords. As soon as they drew their swords, like a phantom, James circled around the group in a flash.In less than three seconds, he was back in his original spot.Behind Donovan, a dozen Blithe family members had been struck in their acupoints. They were frozen in place, unable to move.Donovan’s expression was somber. He knew James was very powerful. Despite gaining all of the Grand Patriarch's power that he had accumulated during his lifetime, he was no match for James.James reached out his hand. “Hand it over. Don’t make me use the sword. If I draw my sword, you won’t stand a chance.”Donovan looked

“Mhm.” Tapio nodded.The elder from the Blithes stomped on a stone slab, walked another three steps, and repeated his actions.The second stone slab sank, and the previous one rose back up.The elder ignored the first slab’s movement and continued on to the next stone slab.About ten minutes passed.Click!A small click echoed.The stone slabs in the center area suddenly receded into the floor, and a 5-meter wide passage appeared.Seeing the passage, Donovan walked over ecstatically.James followed closely behind him.They reached the passage entrance and peered down into it.There were stairs leading underground inside the passage’s entrance.Donovan took the lead.James was the next to enter, followed by Tapio and the other Blithe family members.After traveling for a short while, they eventually reached a dead end.James looked at Donovan and asked, “How do we proceed?”Donovan looked at the floor plan. As soon as he took it out, Tapio snatched it away.“W-What’re

Sky arrived at the entrance to the mausoleum.However, his path was blocked by a stone wall.“Damn it,” he hissed.He concentrated his True Energy and slammed his palm into the stone wall before him.King Quavon had instructed his servants to specially build this stone wall. It took them countless years of painstaking effort to construct it with unique materials. Although Sky had ascended the peak of the Sixth Stair, he could not break the wall.“There must be some sort of mechanism.”After he let out his frustrations on the wall, he calmed down and began to look for the mechanism. He searched for a long time but to no avail.Before he could find the mechanism to open the stone wall, a figure approached him.It was Thomas who had also rushed to the scene.Thomas immediately noticed that Sky was searching around for something. He walked over, glanced at him, and asked, “What’s going on?”Sky replied, “I was a little too late. The Blithes have already entered King Quavon’s Ma

The two decided to return to the starting point.However, they failed to reach the labyrinth’s starting point even after passing through several stone chambers.“This is strange. I don’t remember going past so many stone chambers when we first entered this place. I’m following the direction we traveled earlier, so how is this happening?”Tapio said solemnly, “The labyrinth seems to be playing tricks with our psyche. It only seemed like we were returning through the same path, but we’re actually going deeper inside.”“Then, which stone chamber are we at right now?”James took out the floor plan and tried to identify their location.Tapio shrugged and said, “How would I know?”“What should we do?”Tapio racked his brains for a plan.“I know!” Tapio shouted out of the blue.“Hmm?”James looked at him in confusion.Tapio walked toward James.Then, he whispered, “James…”James paid close attention to his words.Suddenly, Tapio thrust his palm at James’ chest.Tapio had asc

Tapio left.After passing a few stone chambers, he met up with another person.It was none other than Tyrus.“Master,” Tapio greeted him respectfully.“How did it go?”Tyrus had his hands behind his back.Tapio replied, “James is a little arrogant and trusts others too easily. He lets his guard down once he trusts someone. He was still wary of Donovan but completely let his guard down with me. I managed to hit him with a sneak attack using my full strength.”“Mhm.”Tyrus gave a small nod and said, “It’s because he’s become one of the greatest martial artists in this world before hitting his thirties. It’s not surprising that he’d get a little full of himself and overconfident. This will teach him to be more cautious in the future.”“Master, is there a reason you’re looking out for James?” asked Tapio.Others may not have been aware of that, but Tapio knew everything.The reason James could always turn the tide in dangerous situations while fighting in the Southern Plains for
