“Secondly, the power of desire. “What is desire? “Sky desires to become the greatest in the world. It’s a powerful obsession. When his desire reached the pinnacle, he made a breakthrough into the ninth rank after consuming the power of the Dragon Essence. The same goes for your grandfather, Thomas. His ambition is equally great. Besides, he’s shrewd and cunning. However, even with the aid of the Dragon Essence, he only managed to become a Half-Saint. Human desire is terrifying.” After he spoke, he looked at James and said smilingly, “A man free of ambition like you is incapable of using this method. Hence, only the power of nature remains.” “Huh?” James asked in confusion, “What is the power of nature?” “This requires some explanation.” Langston explained, “The power of nature is magical. It is the power of heaven and earth. Your mind must be cleared of impurities, and your heart must be cleansed of all desires. Absorb the power of nature and change your body structure and ph

Thea sighed, “I can walk by myself, James.” The battle raged on at Mount Kirkton. After their palms collided, the Omniscient Deity hurriedly staggered backward. Sky, on the other hand, went on the offensive. His movements were agile, and his attacks were ferocious. He repeatedly aimed at the Omniscient Deity’s vital parts. The Omniscient Deity, meanwhile, only deflected his attacks. There were opportunities where he could attack Sky. However, at the moment crucial moments, he chose not to attack. Rumble! As the two were ninth-rank martial artists, their aura alone was enough to disintegrate Mount Kirkton. The mountain, which was a thousand meters in height, was reduced to rubble in mere minutes. “Argh!” Sky roared and brandished his sword. Then, he charged toward the Omniscient Deity at lightning speed. Dust swirled, and pebbles were shattered to pieces. Trees fell and immediately turned to ashes. Just as he was a hundred meters away from the Omniscient Deity, he slas

“Hahaha…” The Omniscient Deity laughed and said, “That’s none of your concern. You only need to seize the Imperial Jade Seal from the Prince of Orchid Mountain.” James was lost in thought. He had no idea what the Omniscient Deity was up to. After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject, saying, “Lord Omniscient, why did you purposely lose to Sky? Although he’s a powerful ninth-rank martial artist, there’s no way he could have defeated you so easily.” “This is none of your concern.” The Omniscient Deity rebuffed him. “In that case, why don’t you go after the Imperial Jade Seal yourself? Since I’ve yet to cross into the ninth rank, I wouldn’t stand a chance against the Prince of Orchid Mountain. You, on the other hand, might stand a chance.” The Omniscient Deity scoffed. “This is none of my business. Since I’ve listed my demand, it’s up to you to come up with a plan.” After he spoke, he turned to leave. “Wait!” James stopped him in time. The Omniscient Deity turne

Upon their return, James hurriedly headed toward the plantation. The moment he entered the plantation, he realized that all the herbs had withered. Only a single tiny herb remained unperturbed. Though its petals were close to withering, a tiny fruit could be seen in the middle of the flower. “What’s going on?” Looking at the withered plants, James asked in confusion, “I only left for a few days. Why have the herbs I planted withered? Could it be that this tiny herb has absorbed all the nutrients from the soil and caused the other plants to wither?” James hypothesized. Looking at the herb, he suddenly had the urge to absorb the Empyrean Spiritual Energy inside the herb. However, upon seeing the fruit, he dismissed the idea. He began looking forward to the herb bearing fruit. Once the fruit was ripe, he could cross into the ninth rank after consuming it. “James.” A voice came from the courtyard. James glanced at the herb before standing up and heading toward the wooden hous

James returned to the courtyard. Upon returning, Thea walked out of her room. “Darling, I’m feeling a little uncomfortable.” Thea was wearing a pained expression. “Are you giving birth?” James was delighted. Thea rolled her eyes and said, “The baby is due in another month. I’m feeling uncomfortable because the baby’s getting restless inside of me.” James gently placed his hand on her stomach and said, smiling, “Getting a little mischievous, aren’t you? You better behave.” However, the baby grew even more restless upon hearing James’ words. “Alright now, stop playing with the baby. I need to rest,” Thea grumbled. James hurriedly carried her to a chair. “Darling, since the baby is due soon, I want to return to Cansington. At least there’d someone taking care of me in the Callahans. We won’t be able to make it in time for the hospital in this village,” Thea said. “What? Return to the Callahans?” James froze. “Why?” Thea looked at him, confused. “Are you reluctant?”
