Chapter 1718
After waiting for a brief moment, James was done saying goodbye to Thea. They greeted each other, then immediately headed over to the military region. At the military region, the Blithe King personally received James and Sky. “James, the helicopter’s ready and completely refueled. There’s even extra fuel on the helicopter in case things go awry. Besides, I even assigned you a pilot.” James answered, “Thank you very much.” “There’s no need to be so formal between us.” The Blithe King said smilingly, “Alright now, I shouldn’t keep you waiting any longer. If you depart now, you should be able to reach the place in the evening. By the way, since I wasn’t sure how long your trip would be, I prepared a week’s worth of rations for both of you.” The Blithe King had made the necessary arrangements. He even prepared rations for them. James and Sky did not linger for long and immediately got on the helicopter. The helicopter slowly lifted off and left Cansington, heading in the dire

The two simply grabbed a handful of rations and hopped on the raft. Then, Sky began using True Energy to propel the raft forward, all the while carefully steering it in the right direction. They managed to traverse 100 kilometers in an hour. After an hour, the sky was already dark. A gale blew as waves tens of meters in height crashed against the shoreline. Sky stopped the raft and tied it in place. Then, he turned to look at the island before him, saying, “This should be the place. Based on the map, there’s an abyss here in which the dragon resides. However, this is information from a millennium ago. Things might have changed.” James scanned his surroundings and said, “This island is huge. Let’s split up and scout around. I will go this way. Return here by daybreak no matter what we find.” “I’ll be taking my leave, then.” Sky did not linger for long and turned to leave. James did not waste any time either. The two began searching from two different directions. James

“What do you mean, ‘so what’?” Sky suddenly stood up and looked at James, uttering word by word, “I’m going to become the most powerful individual in the world, James! You don’t comprehend the meaning of these words because you’ve never climbed high enough! “I want the world to obey my every command. You will never understand how it feels like to stand at the very top. You may be the Dragon King, one of the highest authority figures in Sol, but you still have to answer to your superiors. You can never do as you please.” James smiled faintly. He could not care less about becoming the most powerful man in the world and only wished to spend the remainder of his life with the woman he loved. He was only here to slay the dragon because of misfortunes that occurred along the way. “Whatever!” Sky sat down and said, “Why am I wasting my breath on you? You won’t understand how power and authority work anyway.” After thinking for a brief moment, James said, “I think what matters for me

Sky pinched his nose and muttered, “How long has it been since a human was last here?” James said, “The last dragon-slaying expedition was more than 1300 years ago. Since this is the middle of the ocean, I’d reckon there hasn’t been any human presence around these parts for a millennium. Let’s scout around for now. There should be signs of the dragon’s activities if it’s still alive.” Sky scanned his surroundings. There were no signs of any life in this desolate place. “This way.” James pointed at a path before them and headed in its direction. Soon, they found the skeletal remains of some unknown creatures on the ground. Some remains were intact, while the others were completely scattered. “Huh?” James momentarily froze before asking, “Why would there be so many skeletal remains in these desolate parts of the island?” Sky crouched down and scrutinized the remains, saying, “These skeletal remains do not belong to a human being. They look like they belong to some sort of m

James stared at the creature before him. The creature was so terrifyingly strong that its palm wind alone was able to send him and Sky flying. It must have reached the peak of the Ninth Stair. No, wait… James had reached the peak of Ninth Stair himself. If the creature’s True Energy was even greater than his, it must have surpassed the Ninth Stair. Could it be ninth-rank? Upon thinking about this, James took a deep breath as he fixed his gaze on the creature before him. The creature simply remained silent. After staring at James and Sky for some time, it returned to the cavern and disappeared from their view. James turned to look at Sky behind him. Seeing that there was still some blood trace on his lips, he asked, “Is everything alright?” “I’m fine.” Sky was wearing a solemn expression. He had ascended the Ninth Stair. Though he begrudgingly acknowledged that he was comparatively weaker than James, Sky could not accept the fact that he was sent flying by an unknown c

Sky was not totally an evildoer. From the conversation they had, James realized that Sky was not profoundly immoral and wicked. He only wanted to be the most powerful individual in the world. He said while smiling, “Don’t worry, I can guarantee my own safety even if I don’t stand a chance against that creature.” Then, he headed in the direction of the cavern. Soon, he arrived. The entrance was about three meters in height and two meters in width. Since it was pitch-black inside, he could not see anything. James cautiously called out, “Sir, are you in there? I have a few questions I’d like to ask…” However, no one responded. “I will take your silence as a sign of agreement. I’m entering the cave now…” Just as he took a step forward… Swoosh! The sound of Palm Energy could be heard, and a powerful force came from inside. As James was on high alert, he managed to dodge the attack in time. After the attack, silence fell once more. James did not dare to recklessly app

Sky grew increasingly agitated once he mentioned the dragon and immortality. His objective was to become the most powerful individual in the world. By attaining immortality, he would have an unlimited lifespan. Should that come to pass, it would only be a matter of time before he accomplished his objective. “Enough.” James was worried that he would go on forever, so he hurriedly stopped Sky and said, “We can’t be sure if he’s someone who lived a millennium ago. We should find out about his identity for now.” Sky asked, “We can’t even approach the cave, not to mention that he doesn’t even speak our language. How are we supposed to do that?” “Calm down.” James waved a hand. Looking at the skeletal remains on the ground, he contemplated for a brief moment before saying, “If I’m guessing correctly, the person inside the cave should be the one responsible for the skeletal remains. He’s a human, after all. Once he feels hungry, he will get food to eat.” Sky rolled his eyes and said,

James rolled his eyes and said, “How would I know?” The man continued mumbling in incomprehensible language. After brief contemplation, James pulled his phone out and recorded his words. Since his phone was capable of receiving satellite signals, he could send and receive messages in any part of the world. So, he sent the recorded message to the Blithe King who was in Cansington. “Blithe King, get me a translator to decipher what he’s saying.” “Understood.” After receiving James’ call, the Blithe King immediately made the necessary arrangements. Approximately ten minutes later… James received the Blithe King’s call. “James, this is Old Ignobarian, a language from a millennium ago. I’ve already helped you decipher the meaning of the text you sent me. However, be mindful that this is only a rough translation.” “Got it.” James hung up the phone and read through the text sent to him by the Blithe King. [Who are you? What are you doing here? Can’t you understand what I
