“We’re already here. We should go even if it’s dangerous.”James walked straight into the cavern.Maxine wore a defeated expression. 'He's been blinded by love. If he continues to be reckless, he might lose his life.'Still, she followed him.The entrance to the cavern was small, but once inside, it stretched in all directions. The deeper they went, the hotter it grew.Even for James and Maxine, who were martial artists, it was becoming unbearable.They had no choice but to use True Energy to combat the intense heat in the cavern, yet even then, they were both still sweating profusely. Their clothes were soon soaked with sweat.“It’s so hot.” Maxine fanned her face with her hand and tugged at her sweat-soaked clothes that clung to her skin.James took out another water bottle and handed it to Maxine, saying, “Drink some…”At that moment, he saw what Maxine was doing when he turned around to hand over the water bottle. He noticed her tugging at her clothes, fanning the insides

The moment Thomas spoke, James knew he was his grandfather.The same grandfather who adored him since he was a child.He knelt on the ground, staring at the bottomless pit in front of him, and sobbed uncontrollably.Scenes from his childhood flooded back to him.He remembered sitting on his grandfather's lap while his grandfather taught him ancient language and the fundamentals of Solean Medicine.In the fire at the Cadens' ten years ago, he was helpless. He heard the Cadens howling and roaring in agony, but he could not do anything.In the end, it was Thea who rushed in and saved him.Ten years later, he was still helpless and witnessed his grandfather's fall into the bottomless pit with his own eyes.“Damn it.”James stood up, veins bulging on his face, and stared unwaveringly at the black-robe figure on the rock across from him.Maxine was concerned that James would lose control and grabbed him just in time. “James, don’t be reckless. Thea is still dangling there,” she adv

Maxine stared at Thea and said, “It was you who helped James kill the Emperor in the Capital. You were also the one who impersonated me, escorted James out of the Johnston residence, and dumped him at the Caden mansion's main entrance. The God-King Palace was, in fact, Thomas' creation.”“Yes.” Thea did not try to deny any of it. “Grandfather did build the God-King Palace,” she said.“Why did he take Tiara and Quincy away?” James asked.“Grandfather said it wasn't safe for them to be following you because you have a lot of enemies around you. He also took them away for the time being to protect them so that you wouldn't be preoccupied,” Thea said.James questioned once more, “Then why are you and Grandfather here?”“Grandfather told me that we needed True Energy with extreme Yang energy to cultivate Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge, so he brought me along to look for it. But we didn't expect him to be ambushed and for us to be taken prisoner,” Thea responded.“What?” Maxine ex

Tobias left quickly and came back just as quickly.After ten minutes or so, he returned.“How did it go, Grandpa?” Maxine inquired.Tobias shook his head and said, “The base is very deep and filled with lava. I couldn't delve any further. He most likely didn't survive the fall.”“I don't believe that,” James kept shaking his head.His grandfather had even survived the devastating fire ten years before. He would not have died so easily right now.Tobias took a glance at him and said, “Even if you don't believe it, you should. Theoretically, falling from this point would result in certain death, unless his strength had reached unimaginable heights and advanced beyond the seventh rank.”As he was saying that, he cast a quick glance at Thea and inquired, “How did you become involved with Thomas?”Thea did not hold back, telling him everything about how Thomas had met up with her.She did not, however, say anything about the secret of Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge. She only m

Cynthia was still in Cansington.He needed to absorb the Cold Energy from her body to cultivate his True Energy.“I'm not going to the Capital for the time being. I have to return to Cansington first,” he said.Tobias gave him a quick glance and nodded, saying, "Be careful, then."After saying that, he leaped, covering a few dozen meters. In a matter of seconds, he was already a few hundred meters away.“Let’s go too,” said Maxine.“Not yet,” said Thea. “Ja… Honey, Grandfather came here to search for the Sacred Fire Fig. He found it eventually, but the Gu Devil showed up before he could collect it.”“Forget about it. Let’s go back. The Gu Devil hasn’t left yet. If we stick around, he might come back. Grandpa had already left and we stand no chance against him.”“Oh, that’s right…” James pondered and asked, “What is Tobias’ rank? Why did the Gu Devil run away so quickly when he saw him?”“I don't know that,” Maxine said, shaking her head. “Grandpa never made his rank known to t

James was also relieved that Thea had acquired third-rank Internal Energy. Now, he could finally relax and stop worrying about her getting into trouble.Instead of responding to Thea, he turned around and stared at the cavern’s entrance nearby.Thea was tactful and stood by quietly without asking any further. “Haa…” James sighed deeply in resignation.When the man thought to be his grandfather showed up, he was both ecstatic and concerned.He was ecstatic because his grandfather was still alive. In contrast, he was concerned that his grandfather was, as Tobias and Maxine had described him, a vile and unforgivable devil.James wished he could find his grandfather and learn the truth from him. He wanted to hear from him directly that he was not who they claimed he was.However, his grandfather fell into the bottomless abyss only moments after they met. Although he saw him fall, James was powerless to stop it.“Honey, Grandfather wanted you to live a good life and didn't want you

James had heard about these events from Blake.He also knew that the Gu Sect had been exterminated by the King of Sol at that time with the aid of some martial artists. This was, however, quite typical. Since ancient times, the people who had made significant contributions to the country would be killed when a new dynasty and king rose to power. James was fairly certain after hearing Thea speak that his grandfather was not a vile and unforgivable devil. He was simply labeled as evil because the martial arts he was learning were unconventional. He was also ambushed, which caused his Energy to deviate, and that was when mistakes were made.The two continued to talk about a lot of things.Maxine soon made her way back. She returned carrying a few red fruits, which were not particularly large. They were about the size of a fist, red, and resembled a ball of raging flames.“James, this is the Sacred Fire Fig. There were only four on the tree, and I brought them all back. Four of the

The trio returned through the same path.In an attempt to find a signal, James held up his phone while walking. Unfortunately for them, mobile phone signals were non-existent where they were. After walking for what felt like an eternity, they finally reached the car.Since James was still unable to find a phone signal, they had no choice but to drive back.It was eight in the evening when they reached Harvin City.Afterward, the three had dinner and checked into a five-star hotel.Hotel reception. James looked at the young woman working as a receptionist at the front desk and said, “We need three rooms.”Thea quickly corrected him. “Two rooms.”James turned to Thea with a look of confusion on his face.Thea linked her arms around him and looked up at him affectionately. “We’re husband and wife. Why do we need to have separate rooms?”The receptionist tilted her head, looked at James and double-confirmed. “Sir, may I confirm many rooms you’d be needing?”“Three.”“I’ll ne
