Chapter 1817
Upon their return, James hurriedly headed toward the plantation. The moment he entered the plantation, he realized that all the herbs had withered. Only a single tiny herb remained unperturbed. Though its petals were close to withering, a tiny fruit could be seen in the middle of the flower. “What’s going on?” Looking at the withered plants, James asked in confusion, “I only left for a few days. Why have the herbs I planted withered? Could it be that this tiny herb has absorbed all the nutrients from the soil and caused the other plants to wither?” James hypothesized. Looking at the herb, he suddenly had the urge to absorb the Empyrean Spiritual Energy inside the herb. However, upon seeing the fruit, he dismissed the idea. He began looking forward to the herb bearing fruit. Once the fruit was ripe, he could cross into the ninth rank after consuming it. “James.” A voice came from the courtyard. James glanced at the herb before standing up and heading toward the wooden hous

The scent was barely detectable a few days ago. Now, however, the fragrance was more intense. Callan looked at James. James said smilingly, “To be honest with you, I came across a tiny herb that contained a trace of Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the mountains a few days ago. So, I brought the herb back and planted it on my plantation. Now, all of my other herbs had withered, and only that herb remains. After blossoming, its fruit began exuding a fragrance.” “Really?” Exhilarated, Callan said, “I’d like to have a look.” “Follow me.” James brought Callan to the plantation behind the wooden house. All herbs in the plantation had withered, and only a single herb remained. There was a beautiful red fruit the size of a thumb on the herb. The closer they got to the plantation, the more intense the scent was. Callan crouched down and looked at the herb, “Are you saying that this herb has Empyrean Spiritual Energy? Why can’t I sense its presence?” James smiled and said, “That

James returned to the courtyard. Upon returning, Thea walked out of her room. “Darling, I’m feeling a little uncomfortable.” Thea was wearing a pained expression. “Are you giving birth?” James was delighted. Thea rolled her eyes and said, “The baby is due in another month. I’m feeling uncomfortable because the baby’s getting restless inside of me.” James gently placed his hand on her stomach and said, smiling, “Getting a little mischievous, aren’t you? You better behave.” However, the baby grew even more restless upon hearing James’ words. “Alright now, stop playing with the baby. I need to rest,” Thea grumbled. James hurriedly carried her to a chair. “Darling, since the baby is due soon, I want to return to Cansington. At least there’d someone taking care of me in the Callahans. We won’t be able to make it in time for the hospital in this village,” Thea said. “What? Return to the Callahans?” James froze. “Why?” Thea looked at him, confused. “Are you reluctant?”
Chapter 1820
The journey back to Cansington was uneventful. Soon, they arrived at the Callahans in Cansington. The Callahans had developed rapidly over the past few years. That was because the family had undergone a major restructuring, which divided the family into two groups. One group would remain in the city and manage the businesses of the outside world, whereas the other group would practice martial arts in the suburbs. Meanwhile, Thea returned to the Callahans’ residence in the suburbs. After escorting Thea to her destination, James left and returned to the village. Before he left, Thea reminded him not to wander about outside and ordered him to return immediately after plucking the fruit. James promised her just that. A day later, James was at a place near the village. He drove while humming a song. Screech! Suddenly, someone appeared in the middle of the road. James slammed on the brakes immediately, and the friction between the tires and the road made a screeching sound.

“No need.” Then, the man gave James a powerful kick. James appeared twenty meters away in an instant. He thought he had evaded the man’s attack. However, the man appeared before him and swung his foot. James’ face darkened, and he hurriedly raised his arm to block the attack. The moment the man’s foot made contact with James, James could feel a terrifying power hurtling toward him. In an instant, he was sent flying several meters away as powerful energy shredded through the air. The Blood Energy inside James’ body churned, and he could feel blood gushing through his throat. He forcibly swallowed his blood and catalyzed True Energy to suppress the violent Blood Energy. “Not bad…” The man remained where he stood and looked at James who was wearing a solemn expression. “Looks like the rumors are true. You’re indeed the most distinguished martial artist of your generation. Fight me with all your strength, kid, or else this will be your final resting place.”Although the man was pr

James did not wish to fight against a stranger. However, the man had pushed it too far. He instantly catalyzed True Energy and met the man’s attack. All these years, he had been busy researching all kinds of martial arts. However, he did not have the opportunity to test things out on the battlefield. Now, one had presented itself. The battlefield was not too far away from the village James resided in. Fortunately, these were desolated parts where no one lived. In this desolated area, shadows flashed, and dust swirled. Boom! James and the man’s fists collided once more, and the man was immediately sent flying. His arm went limp, and he could no longer raise his arm. Before he could collect himself, James was already before him. Then, in the blink of an eye, his chest was struck, and he crashed heavily on the ground. “Damn it!” the man cursed. He leaped from the ground, exuding a terrifying aura. The aura affected the surroundings, and dust swirled. Then, he charged towar

The man staggered backward. Soon, he reached a tree. He leaned against the tree and glared at James in alarm. James looked at him and uttered word by word, “I’ll give you a chance to speak. Who are you?” The man took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down. Then, looking at James, who was wearing a composed look on his face, he said, “You wouldn’t dare kill me, James.” “What makes you think so?” James’ expression darkened. Just because he did not intervene in others’ affairs, it did not mean that he was afraid. Sensing his killing intent, the man’s blood ran cold. “My name’s Damian Lamar. I’m a disciple of the Void Sect,” the man introduced himself. “The Void Sect?” James froze. He had heard Callan mention the Void Sect before. It was a sect that had appeared out of nowhere just a few days ago. Although it was a newly-established sect, it went around challenging various ancient martial artists and defeating them. Back then, he did not pay it any heed. He did not
Chapter 1824
The Void Sect was truly a formidable force. Even an ordinary disciple demonstrated such strength. Puzzled, James murmured, “Who exactly are they?” Callan shook his head, “I don’t know either. You can ask Omniscient Deity if you wish to know more. As he lived far longer than we do, not to mention that he’s present in almost all significant events in history, he must know something about the Void Sect.” “Mhm.” James nodded. He shared the same opinion. However, since the Void Sect had yet to cross the line, he could put them aside for now. The two returned to the village. Upon returning, James hurriedly headed over to his plantation. As he had only left for a day or two, the fruit was still the same size. However, it was now redder and more alluring than ever. James had to suppress the urge to swallow it whole. “James, I kept close watch over your precious herb over the past two days. No one came to steal it.” Callan smiled. “Thanks, man.” James was grateful. Now, he jus
