Chapter 315. The Sun Banner Brought to Its Knees
The city stood magnificently atop a massive oasis. Stone-paved roads stretched wide. Pavilions and towers lined up in flawless order. Martial practitioners moved about with powerful auras. Yet none of that was what made Javon’s jaw tighten.White banners bearing a red circle fluttered everywhere, on the city walls, atop shop roofs, and above the gates of noble residences.The Grand Sun Banner.“That flag?” he asked.“That is the emblem of the current kingdom,” Selira explained. “The previous king modified it. The noble family is called the Order of the Grand Sun.”Javon held his breath. The invasion nearly a century ago. Poison gas drums in the desert. And now the Grand Sun Banner. The picture was becoming clear.Selira walked too quickly and accidentally bumped into a young man dressed in distinct Javana attire. A white headband embroidered with a blazing red sun was fastened proudly across his forehead.“Idiot! Don’t you have eyes?” he snapped.Selira immediately lowered her head. “
Chapter 314. The Yellow Fog and the Secret of 001
After leaving Selira outside the danger zone, Javon shot back toward the yellow fog without hesitation.“Sir, don’t go in!” Selira shouted in panic. “Even Celestial cultivators have died there!”The warning became nothing more than desert wind.Before entering the fog, Javon condensed his true qi into a full-body shield. One layer, then two, then three. He did not believe in luck; he believed in redundancy.The fog was thick, limiting visibility to no more than ten meters. The air felt heavy, as if it contained something wrong.Behind a low rocky hill, he stopped. Part of a metal object protruded from the sand.With a pull of inner energy, he lifted it. An old iron drum. Foreign writing was printed on its surface, Javana script. He recognized its form, though he had never wished to study it.A string of numbers was clearly marked. Beneath it, number: 001. A military unit and chemical research materials.Javon’s gaze hardened. This was not natural miasma, but a leak of man-made toxic g
Chapter 313. The Holy Water and the Price of Three Doses
“I have indeed drunk it,” Zarek said flatly. “Last year. Thanks to that holy water, I broke through from the first level of Celestial to the second level. But there is a limit, three times in a lifetime. Any more than that, and you won’t survive.”Forger Enterprise was not mentioned, yet the atmosphere of the arena felt like the cruelest corporate transaction, where profit and loss were measured in lives.“If more than three times?” Javon asked calmly.“Your body will rot.” Zarek stared blankly, as if seeing shadows of the past. “A few years ago, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage drank it four times in a single year. His skin split open, oozing pus. His internal organs melted like rotten porridge. He died screaming.”Silence spread.Javon observed the small bottle in Zarek’s hand. If even someone at the Nascent Soul Stage could end like that, then this substance was not merely a cultivation-enhancing potion. It was a biological gamble.“In Celestial, many have already proven it,”
Chapter 312. The Festival of the Redeeming Sun
Silence.Rhevan Solrik swallowed hard.Zarek narrowed his eyes. In an instant, his figure appeared before Javon.A smile spread across his face. “Brother,” he said warmly, as if he had never ordered the arrest moments ago, “my eyesight must have failed me. A man of your strength should not be standing among common folk. Please, take a seat in the place of honor.”The sudden shift in attitude stirred the crowd.Javon looked at him flatly. “No need. I prefer the lively atmosphere.”He paused. “If you’re sincere, bring two chairs. My legs are tired.”Silence fell again.Some even thought they had misheard.Asking the city lord to fetch chairs?Rhevan nearly leapt from his seat.But Zarek only stared deeply. “Bring chairs,” he ordered without hesitation.He returned to the platform. His expression remained calm, though his fingers gripped the armrest tightly.“Father, he’s humiliating us!” Rhevan whispered angrily.Zarek replied softly, “That boy is no ordinary man. The festival is more i
Chapter 311. The Day of Restoration
From the restaurant window, Javon watched everything calmly. “I hope he’s smart enough to stop,” he murmured softly.If not, he would not mind eliminating the problem at its root. He returned to a cross-legged position and resumed cultivating.The next morning.A knock sounded at the door. Selira Kain arrived right on time.“Let’s go.”The moment they stepped out of the restaurant, Javon sensed something different. The city was far busier than the day before. More guards were patrolling, and crowds filled the streets.“What’s happening today?” he asked.Selira smiled faintly. “Restoration Day. Every year, people from Sand City come to distribute holy water and holy medicine.”“Holy water?”The festival was unfamiliar to Javon.Selira explained that it was not an ancient tradition but one established about a hundred years ago by the twenty-seventh king of Sand City. On that day, special envoys would travel among the oasis cities, bringing holy water and holy medicine.Holy water was gi
Chapter 310. Night Assassination
“You don’t need to worry about that. Just take me there.”Seeing his firm attitude, Selira Kain did not continue the discussion and soon took her leave.As she stepped out of the restaurant, she ran into Rhevan Solrik. “You met that man again?” His tone was cold.Selira frowned. “What do you mean? You’re the one causing trouble with him?”Rhevan realized he had spoken too much, but it was already too late.“Young Master Solrik,” Selira said coldly, “we are not compatible. Please stop bothering me or dragging my friends into trouble.”She walked past him without another glance.Rhevan’s expression darkened immediately.After standing in silence for a while, he asked the guard behind him, “What did you find?”“His identity is unknown. He’s clearly not from Silent Sands.”Rhevan’s mood worsened. An outsider had suddenly grown close to the woman he had long set his sights on. Unpleasant thoughts formed in his mind.“Elder,” he said quietly, “that boy is suspicious. Find an opportunity to
