James looked at Xandra and said, “Mom, I’ll go see Grandfather first.”“Go on.”Afterward, James left with Tyrus to meet Langston.On the table in Langston’s room, there was a basketball-sized meat lump that glowed with a crimson light. It looked a bit strange but radiated powerful energy.Langston stared at the lump.It was the Phoenix Essence.The more he looked at it, the more he felt something strange.There seemed to be an evil force within the Phoenix Essence.At that moment, his room’s door was pushed open. James and Tyrus entered.“Father.”“Grandfather.”The two greeted him simultaneously.Langston returned to his senses, pointed to the chairs beside him, and said, “Sit down. Make yourselves comfortable.”Langston picked up his tea on the table, took a sip, and said, “I’ve already heard about the incident on Mount Bane. Although an agreement has been reached, the situation isn’t looking great now.”He never expected the Void Sect to send a Supernatural. Since t
Langston told James about the Supreme Spiritual Root/ Whoever possessed the Supreme Spiritual Root would be bright, distinguished individuals born to persevere in the face of the Calamity. However, what was the Calamity? Based on Langston’s thoughts, the Calamity would be brought about by the seal’s activation. This would be the greatest catastrophe mankind would ever face. However, to deal with the menace, mankind’s ancestors had come up with a countermeasure. They would allow mankind to obtain the blood of the Four Holy Beasts so that they could gain extraordinary lifespans, which would allow them to emerge rapidly to deal with the looming threat. However, upon foreseeing the plans of mankind’s ancestors, the enemy tampered with the Four Holy Beasts. “This is my hypothesis based on the message left behind in King Quavon’s Mausoleum. Only time can verify its authenticity.” Langston could not be sure whether his speculations were true. “However, I believe this is not too far
James asked. Langston told him that those who possessed the Supreme Spiritual Root would be able to sense the presence of Empyrean Spiritual Energy much more easily than ordinary people. “Huh? I can’t.” Delainey said. She was shocked that James asked her this question. “You can’t?” James froze. That could not be. Delainey was a bright and brilliant figure who possessed enormous potential in martial arts. Did she not possess the Supreme Spiritual Root? “Have you consumed the Dragon Essence?” James asked. Delainey shook her head, “There’s only so little Dragon Essence available. There’s no way I could get my hands on it. I only consumed the dragon’s blood.” “Did you experience anything unusual after consuming the dragon’s blood?” Upon hearing this, Delainey’s expression turned grim as she nodded and said, “Indeed, I have. Sometimes, I’ll have violent tendencies. At times, I’ll have stronger-than-usual possessiveness and a desire to gain power.” Saying that, she
Delainey was a fast learner. In a short amount of time, she managed to gain insight into the Lunar and Terra Art’s essence and even absorb Empyrean Spiritual Energy. So, James left her to her own devices and entered a closed-door meditation. Now, everything had been taken care of in Dragonville, and there was nothing unusual going on inside Mount Bane. Before he entered closed-door meditation, he gave Thea, who remained in Cansington, a call. “Thea, Grandfather gave me Phoenix Essence. So, I’m planning to enter a closed-door meditation for some time. If there’s an emergency, come to Mount Thunder Pass of the Southern Plains straight away.” James told her his location. Thea’s voice came from the phone, “Don’t worry. Everything’s fine here. I’ll take good care of our child.” “Alright then, I’m hanging up the phone.” James hung up the phone. Then, he took out the Phoenix Essence. There were two ways to refine the Phoenix Essence. One, he could choose to consume it righ
The shackles were akin to that of DNA strands constraining his blood cells. It was an explicable feeling that no human language could describe. “By the way, how did your cultivation go?” James asked. Delainey said, “It’s alright, I guess. After absorbing Empyrean Spiritual Energy, my body has begun undergoing changes. However, my True Energy has remained stagnant. I think I need time before being able to reach the ninth rank.” James said, “Spiritual Energy is now abundant everywhere. You may come across some mutated berries while taking a stroll in pristine forests. Mount Thunder Pass is one such place. Take a walk nearby, and you might be able to come across such berries if you are fortunate. Soon, you’ll make a breakthrough into the ninth rank.” “But, I’ve been here for a month. I want to return to the military region to have a look at the situation.” James nodded. “Sure thing.” Delainey did not linger for long and hurriedly left. Meanwhile, James continued cultivating.
Mount Stratmark was a renowned mountain range located far away at the north pole, whose peak was covered in snow all year round. At the moment, a group of men in black robes were kneeling on the ground as if awaiting the arrival of someone of great importance. Fwoosh! At that moment, space was distorted. A crevice appeared in the sky, and a man walked out of the crevice and levitated in mid-air. He was a handsome-looking man wearing a white robe, and the aura he exuded was so imposing that the snow-capped mountains collapsed into rubble. At the same time, the snow melted and turned into a cascading waterfall. "Greetings, Your Holiness!” The men greeted in unison. The man descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground. Wearing a composed expression on his face, he looked at the group of men and asked coldly, “How’s the situation on Earth?” “Your Holiness, the situation remains stable at the moment. The seal’s showing signs of loosening. Besides, cultivators fro
Even the strongest of them all was at the Supernatural stage… How weak! “What should we do now, Your Holiness?” A man asked. The Grand Priest contemplated for a brief moment before saying, “I brought the Five-Colored Holy Stones here this time to fortify the seal. This will prevent those from the other realms to travel here through the seal. First, we’ll annihilate the Void Sect on Mount Bane and seize the mountain for ourselves. Then, we’ll fortify the seal while searching for the four keys at the same time. Once an opportune moment shows itself, we’ll activate the seal. In the meantime, I’ll conquer Earth to prepare for my sect’s future endeavors here.” “Understood.” “Alright now, stand up and talk.” Only then did the men stand up. Meanwhile, the Grand Priest left Mount Stratmark and headed to Sol alongside his entourage. At that moment, Thea left Cansington and embarked on a journey to Dragonville in the Southern Plains. At the same time, a handsome-looking man i
James did not expect Thea to be here at Mount Thunder Pass. “Where’s Winnie? Who’s taking care of her now?” Thea explained, “I left her in my mother’s care. I was worried about you and didn’t want you to deal with this alone. I came here to lend you a helping hand.” Upon hearing this, James had to suppress his tears. He considered himself the luckiest man in the world to have married Thea. “By the way, how did the cultivation go?” Thea asked. “It went well, I guess.” James nodded slightly and said, “I’ve already broken free of the first shackle and am now on my way to breaking the second one. Based on my current speed, I’ll need about three months to accomplish that.” “That’s great.” For the next few days, they began cultivating at Mount Thunder Pass. Five days later, Delainey arrived. Upon seeing Thea, she froze momentarily before walking over to them, saying, “James… Thea…” The two who were in the midst of absorbing the Phoenix Essence’s strength stopped. Thea g
