Sect Master studied Javon carefully. “Elder Queen, how did you come to know this senior?”“Senior?” Queen frowned. “He’s my little brother.”The Sect Master’s gaze sharpened. “Don’t joke with me. I can’t see the boundary of his cultivation. That means he stands above me.”“Just call me Javon,” Javon said plainly, clearly uncomfortable being addressed as senior by someone with gray hair.The Sect Master pressed his fists together in a respectful salute. “Mr Javon, forgive us for the inadequate welcome.”Javon returned the gesture lightly, without arrogance. The atmosphere of the room shifted instantly.“Elder Queen,” continued the Sect Master, “are you here to reclaim your position? If so, I will remove Gilbert immediately.”Queen shook her head. “No. I’ve come to give it up. I’ll be leaving for Mount Telavip with Javon.”“Mount Telavip?” The Sect Master’s eyes narrowed, as though she had uttered a forbidden name.Javon couldn’t understand why the elders reacted as if the place were a

Half an hour later, the council hall doors opened.The Sect Master and Javon walked in, both of them dusty, clothes rumpled, hair a mess, yet their faces equally calm.The Fourth Elder was stunned. “You two actually fought for real?!”The Sect Master collapsed into his seat. His body was still trembling a little. “Lord Javon is absurdly strong. I fought a hundred moves and lost miserably. In the end I was forced to use the White Jade Manual just to add one point.”Javon smirked behind him. “We agreed not to use secret techniques.”“Silence. Without that I couldn’t keep up!” The Sect Master hurriedly changed the topic. “Anyway, I’ve taught him everything. Queen, are you satisfied?”Queen smiled in relief. “Thank you, Sect Master.”They took their leave. Not long after, the two of them were already flying away from the White Jade Hall.***On the way back, Javon glanced sideways at Catherine. “So the only reason you brought me here was to give me secret techniques and martial arts?”Cat

That night, Javon locked himself away with two ancient books, the Spring Eye Codex and the Spring Snare Technique. Even when Lina called him for dual cultivation, he still didn’t appear.His focus was only one: mastering the two life-saving techniques before ascending Mount Telavip.Seven days passed.Javon opened his eyes from cultivation, his expression strange. “Queen, your secret technique is a bit unique and difficult.”Queen stepped closer. “Difficult? Of course. Normal people need months.”“Not really. I’ve already reached the basic stage of the Spring Eye Codex. And I’ve already grasped the Spring Snare Technique.”Queen stared blankly. “You… reached the basic stage? In seven days? And mastered the snare technique? Javon, are you even human?”She looked like she wanted to slap her own face out of frustration.Javon only shrugged. For him, after experiencing the Dragon Physical Diagram and the Dragon Pulse, learning new techniques felt like switching on a light in a dark room.

“You still have a chance to turn back. If you die in our hands, no one will care,” one of the guards sneered, eyeing Javon Forger from head to toe. His gaze slid to the two women behind Javon, and his expression instantly turned lecherous.“This kid’s lucky. Both are beauties.”“Let’s kill him later. The women are ours, yeah?”Their laughter burst out like hungry wolves snarling.Javon snorted. Guards? These were mountain bandits in uniform.Beside him, Queen whispered, her voice filled with disgust. “They’re Telavip’s trash. If we lose, we die or get tortured. No one cares.”“No one keeps order?” Javon asked without asking.“Here, whoever is strong is right,” Queen replied. “Kill or be killed, simple.”Javon lifted the corner of his lips. A predatory glint flashed in his eyes, almost relieved. Years living in a modern world full of rules made a place like this feel like a vent for his soul.The leader of the guards stepped forward. “Hand over the two women and go home. Or fight us. I

In a short time, the city came into view. Telavis City was a small town near the entrance to Mount Telavip, with only a few hundred buildings. Martial artists often stopped here.Javon landed and looked around. “This looks like a film set.”Wooden structures and old brick houses made the place resemble a historical tourist site. There was no modern construction; the martial artists themselves had built this settlement.Queen explained, “Mount Telavip has existed for hundreds, even thousands of years. There are many ancient remnants.”Javon nodded. “So most of the residents are descendants of ancient inhabitants?”Queen confirmed. “Only a few come from the modern world. Without cultivation at the Master level, it’s impossible to enter this place.”“So it feels like time travel,” Javon chuckled softly.In the busy streets, martial artists dressed in traditional clothing made Javon, wearing modern attire, stand out. Fortunately, Queen and Elmer were with him, so the attention wasn’t enti
