Elijah watched Rowan raise her sword again and let out a low sigh.

“Women, you don’t want to do this.”

Rowan did not answer him.

“Eight-Gate Ring Formation!”

The command brought the Zenith women to an abrupt halt. Confusion flashed across several faces, but Rowan immediately raised her voice again.

“Formation, now!”

The senior sisters spread outward first, taking the four principal directions around the group with their swords facing away

    While the others ate and drank, Noelle approached quietly and sat beside her.“Don’t cry anymore, Iris,” she said gently. “There was nothing you could have done.”Iris shook her head as she wiped one eye, only for more tears to gather.“Mr. Elijah didn’t deserve to die. He only wanted to help us reach the tomb so he could find a solution for his leg in return.” Her voice trembled as she looked towards Noelle. “He helped us so many times. He was a good person.”The Zenith women turned towards her, disgust appearing openly on their faces. Brielle was already opening her mouth when Noelle caught her eye and gave a small shake of her head.Brielle’s expression soured, but she swallowed whatever she had been about to say. With a dismissive snort, she turned away while Noelle remained beside Iris in silence.Farther ahead, Rowan finished checking the passage they would take and turned back towards the group.“Finish whatever you’re doing. We need to keep moving.”The women began putting aw

    Jin stomped on the ground and turned away, returning to where he had been sitting. He lowered himself into his Burmese posture again before speaking without looking at either of them.“You’ve gone far, Alaric.”Alaric glanced towards him. “I doubt I will ever meet another person who chose the same path I did. Allow me the small relief of speaking freely to one while I still can.”Jin offered no reply, and Alaric turned back to Elijah.“Since reaching the Grandmaster realm was never your reason for choosing the diverse arts, there is no reason for me to explain how I overcame the hurdle that should have stopped me. Even those who have filled Galecrest searching for the secret have no idea that the path I followed should have prevented me from becoming a Grandmaster at all.”Elijah’s expression hardly changed as he listened.“You faked your death and remained hidden here all these years to protect your secret. I can only assume you had valid reasons for doing so.” He studied Alaric’s fa

    Alaric had already demonstrated that his connection to Galecrest allowed him to perceive thoughts and intentions across the island. But he was no longer describing something Elijah happened to be thinking about.He was speaking of a decision Elijah had made years ago, one almost no one knew existed.“The path of diverse arts,” Alaric said. “A road built around more than pursuing cultivation realms. It opens the way to branches of the old traditions that ordinary practitioners cannot freely touch. Mystic arts, sorcery, witchcraft, and ancient methods whose foundations do not always agree with the normal way of martial arts cultivation.”He paused briefly, watching Elijah’s face.“It is a costly path. Costly enough that even your Master refused to walk it, despite possessing the resources to do so.”“Alaric.” Jin’s voice interrupted him, stern enough to make Elijah turn. There was something fierce in the monk’s expression as he stared at Alaric, clearly warning him against continuing.

    Alaric slipped his free hand into the sleeve of his robe again and brought out a small pill, placing it beside the empty blue core in his other palm. Elijah’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer, his focus staying specifically to the pill.Unlike an ordinary practitioner, Elijah had spent years working with medicines, poisons and pill refinement. Purity was one of the first things he had learned to judge. Experience had long since made it unnecessary to break open its surface to recognize the quality of its refinement.“Heaven-grade…” he murmured.That was the highest recognized standard a refined pill could achieve. Almost every trace of impurity introduced during refinement had been removed, leaving the medicinal essence concentrated to a degree few refiners could accomplish.Yet Elijah’s expression grew stranger as he continued examining it. What he had initially recognized as Heaven-grade purity exceeded that standard the more closely he looked.The pill was too pure.None of th

    Elijah returned his attention to him.“For exactly the reason I just explained. Bloodline was not enough. Cultivation energy still belonged to the person who had created it, and incompatibility destroyed the possibility of a clean inheritance.”Elijah studied the blue sphere for a moment.“But this one is different.”“Exactly.” A slight smile appeared on Alaric’s face as he held the crystal between them. “This core is empty.”“And there is something else that makes it special,” Alaric continued. “I have tested its ability to receive different forms of spiritual energy. As long as the energy introduced into it originates from the same vessel the core will eventually reside within, there is no conflict.”Elijah’s eyes moved from the crystal to Alaric. He could already see where the explanation was leading, but he waited for the man to say it.“With this replacing the cultivation core that was destroyed inside you, the spiritual energy currently dispersed throughout your body by the Orig

    “Small matter…?” Elijah Langston repeated, staring at Alaric as though he expected the man to correct himself.His cultivation core had been destroyed and his heart reduced to nothing. “We don’t have enough time for me to drag this out, Elijah, so I’ll show you.”Alaric stepped closer as his hand disappeared into the sleeve of his robe. When it emerged, a small blue crystal sphere rested between his fingers.Elijah’s attention stayed on it immediately. The object was smooth and translucent, small enough to sit comfortably in a man’s palm. Nothing about its appearance seemed particularly remarkable at first, but the longer he studied its structure, the more familiar it became. He leaned slightly closer, trying to place where that familiarity came from.Alaric raised the sphere and poured a thin stream of spiritual energy into it.Brilliant blue light burst from its centre, spreading through the crystal until the entire sphere shone so intensely that Elijah had to narrow his eyes.
