After returning to the island’s coast once more, James sat on a sizable rock and watched as the enormous waves below crashed against the island.He was thinking about the strange man from the Dragon Abyss.When he first encountered the strange man, he found him to be of sound mind and receptive to conversation. However, on James’ second visit to the cave, the strange man was sane at first as well, but then suddenly seemed to have lost his mind.“Perhaps… He was tainted with dragon’s blood a thousand years ago, and dragon’s blood, like Spirit Turtle’s blood, can cause energy deviation?” James mused.However, he thought it seemed a bit unlikely. Dragon's blood also gave rise to the Blood Race, but its members did not suffer from energy deviation.If it was not caused by energy deviation, why did the man on the island suddenly attack him? Did he offend this person in some way?James thought about it for a long time but could not come up with an answer.“Well, I won’t be able to lea

Thea exclaimed in surprise and asked, “Really?”“I shouldn’t be too far off.”Thomas said, “I looked up the ancient scrolls. According to one of them, the Jade Sect first appeared around a thousand and eight hundred years ago. The Sect Leader at the time was also referred to as the Omniscient Deity. This doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me.”The expression on Thomas’ face was solemn. He had suspicions ever since he learned about the Four Holy Beasts from the Omniscient Deity.Now, the Omniscient Deity had presented a type of blood that was not any weaker than the Spirit Turtle’s, so he assumed it was qilin blood. He assumed that a thousand and eight hundred years ago, the Omniscient Deity had slain a qilin and obtained its blood. As a result, he became immortal.“Thea, hold on to the dragon’s blood. Currently, you have the Spirit Turtle’s blood and the qilin’s blood in your body. In addition to the dragon’s blood, you now have the blood of three Holy Beasts. I’m not sure if the

“Pheonix blood?”Thea was thunderstruck. She could not help but exclaim, “This is phoenix’s blood?”“Yes.” Tyrus nodded and said, “It is indeed phoenix’s blood.”“Who are you, exactly? Why do you have phoenix blood? It’s such a valuable thing. Why would you give it to me?”“To be honest, I don’t really want to give it to you,” said Tyrus. “Phoenix’s blood is quite rare. Now, we only have so little left. With such a small amount of phoenix blood, a person's constitution can be changed and made immortal. I don't want to give it to you, but it’s a gift from my father to you.”“Your father, who is he?”“My name’s Tyrus. My father… You can call him the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”“What?” Thea was once again stunned when she heard the words ‘Prince of Orchid Mountain’. “What did you say? Your father’s the Prince of Orchid Mountain? The Prince of Orchid Mountain who tried to kill the Spirit Turtle a thousand years ago?”The Prince of Orchid Mountain. It was impossible for Thea not to

“Oh, right.”James was suddenly reminded of something. The strange man brought him here, so he must be familiar with this writing from a thousand years ago. He could read these words too. Why not use this kind of writing to communicate with him?He pulled out the Primordial Dragon Blade immediately. As soon as he took it out, the strange, hairy man immediately backed away, his body tense with hostility. His long, straight hair was standing on end, and his dark pupils turned crimson.When James saw this, he was quite shocked. He just wanted to write on the ground with the sword. He did not expect to be misunderstood or that he would trigger the strange man.Since he had been through this before, James did not dare to stay put this time. Instead, he sprinted off and vanished in the cave in an instant. He escaped quickly, running straight to the coast.When he realized the strange man was not chasing after him, he finally exhaled a sigh of relief. This time, he stayed there for hal

Thomas walked over and said, “Tomorrow is the day Sky assembles martial artists from all over the world. Every martial artist is heading toward Mount Ludis right now. If I’m guessing correctly, Sky wants to be the Great Grandmaster of the entire martial community. He’s quite powerful and has reached the peak of the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. Now, only you can stop him.”Thea looked at Thomas with a slightly troubled expression on her face. She said, “But I haven’t reached the Ninth Stair yet. I’m only at the Seventh Stair. There’s still a large gap between myself and Sky in terms of power.”“You’re only at the Skyward Stairway’s Seventh Stair?” Thomas furrowed his brow.Shortly after, he sighed and said, “There's not enough time. If you were given another two weeks, the power you’ll gain from the Four Holy Beasts’ blood would certainly get you to the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. However, we’re running out of time. You’ll have to go regardless. Given that Sky was the one who
