Newhurst will never know peace again in the days to come. Vice Dean Elsie sighed softly.Can’t we report this to the Academy Alliance? They are so immensely powerful. If they could send just one Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse, Newhurst’s crisis would be resolved at once, Albert asked.Vice Dean Elsie shook her head. The Academy Alliance is currently too preoccupied with its own troubles. When you head to the Inner Divine Continent in the future, you’ll understand that the crises they’re facing are far more severe than anything we’re dealing with here in Newhurst. So there’s no telling when—if ever—they’ll send a Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse to our aid.Albert fell silent. It seemed that despite being the most prosperous land in this world, the Inner Divine Continent was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. But on second thought, it made sense. The dark realm of the evil creatures was terrifying beyond measure. The Academy Alliance was undoubtedly mighty, yet compared to the ev

Listening to Angel’s explanation, Albert looked on at the cyan flying boat with curiosity—such a contraption was unheard of in Newhurst.With a flick of her delicate wrist, Angel took the lead, leaping onto the flying boat in a graceful arc. Seeing this, Albert and Joseph followed suit.The interior of the boat was not exactly spacious, but it was more than adequate to accommodate the three of them.Cherie, Shane, and the others watched as Albert boarded the vessel, the look of reluctance in their eyes growing more intense by the second. Finally, they spoke in unison, Farewell, Lord.Albert gazed down at the old mansion one last time, then waved to them, his resolve hardening. Aunt Angel, let’s go.Angel nodded. She took a cross-legged seat at the bow of the boat, where there stood a furnace-like object that seemed to be the craft’s control hub. With a flick of her slender jade-like fingers, a tinkling sound rang out as countless gold coins poured forth from her spatial orb, streaming

The Five Azure Dragon Veins...Dragon’s Blood, Dragon’s Fang, Dragon’s Scale, Dragon’s Horn, Dragon’s Bone...Each named for a part of the Azure Dragon’s form.As Albert listened to Angel’s words, astonishment dawned on his face. He had never imagined the Martin Supreme Clan was not a single unified bloodline, but split into five distinct great veins!Among these five veins, Dragon’s Blood, Dragon’s Fang and Dragon’s Scale are the direct royal branches—for we trace our bloodline straight back to the Ancestor himself. The other two veins are more distant cadet branches. You must understand this: a Supreme Paragon can live for eight thousand years.Naturally, countless collateral bloodlines have sprouted from his line. And our Ancestor, among all the Supreme Paragons of the Tianyuan Divine Continent, is still in his prime. Angel went on.Albert drew a sharp breath. What terrifying longevity—eight thousand years, long enough to watch mountains and rivers shift and empires rise and fall.Y

The Vein Lord objected vehemently back then, but the Mountain Ruling Vein wielded greater authority. In the end, after deliberations, the clan reached a unanimous decision.Angel fixed her gaze on Albert, falling silent for two heartbeats.Protect Andrew, abandon Charlotte.Angel let out another sigh, her voice drifting forth in a faint, mournful murmur. As for the final outcome... I suppose it need not be said any further.Protect Andrew, abandon Charlotte.The moment those words left Angel’s lips, a deathly hush descended over the flying boat.No wonder Mother always wears such a cold expression whenever the Martin Supreme Clan is mentioned. After a long stretch of silence, Albert spoke in a calm, flat tone. Though Charlotte had no noble lineage to her name, Albert knew his mother far too well. The pride that dwelled in her heart was no less than that of any so-called peerless prodigy. One could well imagine the scathing contempt she must have felt when she learned of the Martin Sup

Naturally, it is safe to say that this was precisely Albert’s goal for traveling such an immense distance to reach the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.With the Dragon’s Fang Vein’s terrifying heritage, it should be effortless for them to support him, should it not?With this thought, Albert smiled faintly, then closed his eyes once more, sinking back into his cultivation. He began to gather and condense the Soul Profound Light once again.Time flowed swiftly by, day after day, in this unceasing cultivation.In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.On this day, Angel’s voice, tinged with a hint of immense relief, drifted to Albert’s ears, rousing him from his cultivation trance.Albert, we have arrived at the Dragon’s Fang Domain.A faint tremor rippled through Albert’s heart, and an inevitable surge of curiosity and anticipation welled up within him. Was he finally about to meet his grandfather, the man he had never laid eyes on?When Albert stepped out of the cabin, the
