Chapter 2151
James was truly interested in the Burial Jade.Since Zoe brought up the topic, James expressed his interest in the jade pendant.As for the Targwyns' ancestral land, James knew the Targwyns were renowned in the past. The family’s predecessors once made up the greatest clan in a certain period of history.Thus, the Targwyns' ancestral land was undoubtedly an extraordinary location.This piqued his interest and James was intrigued to see it.Zoe briefly hesitated after James stated his refusal to marry Laelia.The jade pendant was their family heirloom, and they refused to hand it over even at the cost of their entire city, so it was impossible to simply hand it over to James.Although James did indeed save their family, Zoe was unwilling to give it to James as a simple gift of gratitude.He would only bequeath it to James in the form of a dowry.“Mr. Caden, the jade pendant has been handed down by our family’s ancestors and is a very sentimental item to our family. We can only

Laelia turned around and left.James cultivated in the courtyard all day long.Before long, night had come.James sat in the courtyard and stared at the starry night in a daze.Looking at the star-lit sky, he felt extremely small.He did not know what was on the other side of this starry sky or how many more secrets it held.Was there even a limit to this starry sky?As he thought about it, the night passed.Laelia appeared the next day morning in the courtyard.She wore a gorgeous dress and was beautiful as ever, radiating a noble allure.“James.”Her airy and sweet voice called to him.James nodded and answered, “Mhm.”“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to our ancestral land.”“Alright.”James was interested in the Targwyns’ ancestral land and was curious to see whether a powerful Targwyn ancestor indeed left behind an inheritance.The two walked out of the palace together.The two sat in a beast carriage attached to a flying creature. After getting into the carriage, the cre

James would be the first outsider to visit the Targywn’s ancestral land since times of yore.The Targwyn family only moved out of the ancestral land a thousand years ago. Before then, they had lived in ancestral land and were isolated from the outside world.The beast carriage came close to the storm. Even though they were still quite far away, the storm’s force caused James’ heart to race.Laelia stepped out of the beast carriage and looked at the cyclone over the sea. She bit her finger, and a drop of blood trickled out.She moved the drop of blood toward the storm before them.At that moment, a strange phenomenon happened.The blood was absorbed into the storm and suddenly the turbulent gales ceased, giving way to a safe passage.“Keep going,”Laelia ordered the beast carriage to pass through the storm.After passing through the storm, they entered another marine region surrounded by white mist. It was difficult to see anything beyond the few meters ahead of him.Laelia as

After reaching the village, Laelia explained, “Thousands of years ago, my family’s forbearers lived in this village.”James nodded lightly and said, “Mhm. The island appears ordinary at first glance, but there were many unusual things along the way. It’s evidently a place left behind by a very powerful person. However, did he really leave behind his legacy here?”Laelia shook her head and said, “I’m not sure about that. According to my family’s oral tradition, he left behind an inheritance for the younger generations of our family to attract them to the island. We’re allowed to search the island to see if we can find the boons he left us as adults. However, none of our family members have found it even after allt his time.”“Is that so?”James questioned her, “This is your family’s ancestral land. Your family’s forebearers have lived on this island and should know where to look for the boons, right?.”Laelia nodded slightly and said, “My family’s ancestral land is rather ordinary

The person of the highest seniority in the Targwyn family was Sylvester.He was the only person who could possibly answer whether the jade pendant had something to do with the seal.Sylvester shook his head and said, “I’m not sure either. Our history has been fragmented. I only know that our family’s jade pendant is one-of-a-kind and that a huge secret must be hidden within it.”Even Sylvester did not know about the jade pendant’s secret.“Alright.”Laelia was disappointed but did not press him for further answers. She changed the subject, saying, “Sir Sylvester, let’s bring James to the grotto first.”“Yuliana, bring them there,”Sylvester instructed the girl beside him.She was relatively young, about 17 to 18 years old. She was dressed very simply and wore a blue dress. Although she seemed like a peasant, she was lovely.“Yes, Grandpa.”Yuliana looked at Laelia and James, saying, “This way, please.”She led both of them toward the back of the village.Behind the village

With guidance from the two women, he might be able to obtain some kind of boon in the grotto.He looked at Laelia and asked, “How about we split up?”Since they were in the Targwyns’ ancestral land, he did not want to stick with Laelia. If he were to find the legacy within the grotto, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of her family. Although he was not afraid of conflict, he wanted to avoid it as much as possible.“Sure.” Laelia nodded gently.Afterward, James walked toward one of the passages.Laelia walked in the opposite direction.James found many passages as he walked deeper into the grotto. He was unsure of where he should go.“Nova. Nova…!”After separating from Laelia, he called out the Celestial Abode’s Spirit Tool.Soon, a voice responded in his mind, “Yes, Master?”James said, “I’ve arrived at the Targwyns’ ancestral land. It’s a very enchanting place. I learned that this place was left behind by a powerful ancestor of theirs. Do you know if there are any b

Sophie explained that she could not directly help James kill his enemies. Since she held a significant rank, her every action would have great consequences.Everything she did would result in a chain reaction. The Karma brought about by these consequences would be considerable, she would be able to bear the burden of some of it but not all.James was very interested in the topic.However, Sophie refused to explain further. She simply said he was still lacking in many aspects, and as such, he did not need to know about it yet.James had no choice but to give up for the time being.He looked at Sophie, dressed in white, and asked curiously, “Ms. Sophie, what is your current rank? How strong are you?”Sophie responded with a smile but did not answer James’ question.“What do you mean?” James frowned.Sophie replied, “I’ve told you many times. There’s no need for you to understand these things right now. When your strength improves, you’ll naturally understand everything.”After s

James followed behind her.The stone house’s interior was spacious and bright.Inside the house, there was a very extraordinary formation. James could not understand it but saw countless mysterious symbols gathered together to form a strange pattern.Within the center of the strange formation was an egg.The egg was large, with a one-meter diameter. The eggshell was purple, and some mysterious purple characters slithered around the eggshell.As soon as he got close to the stone house, James sensed a powerful force. When he saw the egg, he felt he had come across a huge monster. At that moment, he felt quite insignificant.James asked curiously, “W-What’s this?” Sophie stared at it for a long time. Her expression gradually became solemn, and she took a deep breath. “Haah!”“What’s wrong?” asked James.Sophie collected herself and said, “I really didn’t expect to find such an ineffable within this grotto.”“Ineffable?”After a brief shock, James asked, “Ms. Sophie, don’t beat
