Gladwin still had something to say, but under the sharp gaze of the two Grand Patriarchs, he immediately flew away.It was not until then that Xolani turned to Xaiden, a hint of strangeness flashing in his eyes. “Are you sure that’s still your disciple?”Xaiden remained silent.“Just as well.” Xolani sighed lightly. “It’s time to employ people, so let’s hold off for now.”With that, both Grand Patriarchs turned to look at Lucille.“Greetings, Grand Patriarchs.” Lucille immediately knelt before them.“Lucille,” Xaiden sighed lightly. “Mount Martialis no longer exists, and Thea has been assimilated into the Heavenly Path. What will you do?”“I want freedom.” Lucille raised her head and said, “In this life, I’ll no longer join any sect, serve any force, or obey anyone.”Upon hearing this, both Xaiden and Xolani frowned simultaneously.“Please grant my wish, Grand Patriarchs,” Lucille banged her head on the ground.After pondering for a moment, Xolani spoke up, “I’m not allowed!”
Upon hearing this, Xaiden looked at Xolani in shock. “Are you suggesting that Celeste was already pregnant with Franciscus’ child when we captured her?”Xolani nodded gravely. “We were all obsessed with reaching the Daelcon Rank, so we forcibly collected Yin and Yang energy from her. Our cultivation soared, but we were unaware that she was already pregnant.”Xaiden’s lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth. “So, to retaliate against us, she concealed the fact that she was carrying Franciscus’ child. This ultimately led us to mistakenly believe that Lucille was our child, almost causing a rift between us.“She even chose to self-destruct and cast a Symbiotic Blood Curse on Xachary, all to protect her and Franciscus’ child?”“This is the advantage of being a woman,” Xolani said grimly. “Not only did we raise the illegitimate child of our enemy with care, considering her as our own, ensuring she suffered no harm, but when we finally woke up to the truth, Franciscus’ illegitimate child
Time flew. In the space beyond the illumination of the Telhervo Holy Siteʼs ethereal lights, a man and a woman, each holding a sword, were engaged in an intense battle. Blasts of sword energy and Genesis Power shot through the air. The handsome man was surrounded by a cloud of golden righteous aura. Each of his attacks was deadly as they were infused with aura. The man was also extremely agile. He moved as quickly as lightning. His opponent, a beautiful lady, emanated a glow due to the Tirta Power. She could take out armies of men by unleashing a fragment of the Tirta Power through her sword. The two of them dropped to the ground and teleported high up in the air again during their battle. The galaxies nearby shifted as they were hit by those two cultivatorsʼ powers and sword energies. It was akin to a battle between the gods. Boom! A loud explosion erupted when the two cultivators cast attacks of sword energies at each other. The force created from the collision of
“The dangers found in the holy site could easily be more overwhelming than those existing in the outside world.” Yegor heaved a long breath. “Can you really bring yourself to send them in there, though?” “That…” Sensing Herodias’ hesitation, the Celestial Sage quickly reasoned, “Lady Herodias, we canʼt protect these kids forever. “They need to grow and overcome challenges on their own to become exceptional cultivators.” “I disagree.” The Earthly Sage snorted. “The youngsters have only improved their cultivation so far. I won’t agree to plans that will risk their lives.” The two ladies out of the four teachers had expressed their disapproval. Yegor and the Celestial Sage could only stare at each other helplessly at the moment. Unintentionally, Herodias and the Earthly Sage would be overly protective of Maxine and the others due to their maternal instincts. Their opinions were also hard to refute since the concerns over the youngstersʼ safety were valid. Still, the Cele
“Ahem…” Herodias cleared her throat. An awkward expression hung on her face. Yegor laughed aloud. “Go on. Why canʼt you tell him what you are upset about?” “I will!” Herodias shot a glare at Yegor. “What took you so long, Clayton? With your powers, it shouldnʼt take you so long to gather those items.” “I wasnʼt just working on collecting the items.” Clayton snorted. “I need to train my disciples too.” Herodias was struck speechless by his response. “What training did you put them through?” Yegor beamed at Jacopo and Xainte. “The two of them radiate an overwhelming amount of murderous energy. Clayton, did you make them kill a lot of people?” Clayton smiled slightly and sent a glance at the pair of young cultivators. Jacopo and Xainte conjured strings of severed ears tied together in the air. Herodiasʼ eyes widened. “This… How many people have you killed?” “Grandma Herodias.” Jacopo knelt, facing Yegor and Herodias. “During my training, I’ve killed 389 cultivators, whos
“I’ve got my items ready.” Yegor grinned. “What matters more is whether you have the items that you’ve promised to get?” Clayton snorted. He raised his hand and conjured several energy balls. Yegor was delighted to see that they managed to collect everything he had listed out previously. He put them away in his storage space. “Hurry up.” Clayton urged. “There’s not much time left.” “We still have one major issue.” Yegor turned his eyes to James’ body. “That is the Ultimate Golden Body. With only my powers, I won’t be able to open up his body to put in the vital organs.” “We’ll combine all three of our powers, then.” As he was saying that, Clayton channeled his murderous energy to surround James’ body. Crackling sounds could be heard coming from that space. Herodias quickly channeled the Tirta Power to envelope James’ body as well. Finally, Yegor unleashed the righteous aura in the form of sword energy and cast it toward James’ body. A loud clang could be heard as his
“We need to hold him still first.” Yegor sighed. “It’ll be over if he destroys the soul fragments before I can imbue them into his body. “We need to be extra cautious for this step.” “I’ll do it.” Clayton extended his arms and unleashed the Sylverstar Power, the powers of the Four Symbols. In a flash, the four mythical beasts materialized around the superformation and began rotating around it. A powerful force was created by the beasts. Unfortunately, the crazed James did not seem to be affected in the slightest. He was still moving freely within the superformation. Yegor, Herodias, and Clayton had run out of ideas for what to do at that point. Suddenly, a beam of light came down from the sky and shone over James. The serene, ethereal light seemed to be able to calm James down. James appeared to enjoy basking in that light as he slowly got into a seated position. The three cultivators on the ground lifted their gazes. They saw two Heavenly Paths, each emanating a sacred
At the same time, two masses of black and white gases gathered high up in the sky above the Telhervo Holy Site to form a Tai Chi diagram. The Livius Heavenly Path, who spotted the Tai Chi diagram, frowned. He generated more Heavenly Path Power and cast it over the hall on the ground to form several layers of barrier. “Abelard, you broke the Law of Tai Chi and tried to help that devil of a man! Do you wish to be annihilated?!”Tai Chi sounded extremely furious as her voice came from that sinister-looking Tai Chi diagram. Abelard drew a long breath and said, “He’s my master. I must help him now that he is facing a crisis.” “How impertinent!” Tai Chi raged. A bolt of lightning shining with black and white lights that was released from the Tai Chi diagram struck Abelard and sent him flying away. He steadied himself in the distance and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, Abelard slowly raised his head as he clutched his chest. A small smile hung on his face. “Are you st
