Quincy turned to leave with the medical formulas with Scarlett following close behind. Only Thea, Cynthia, and Tiara remained.
Thea asked, “Darling, when are we going to the Capital?”
James said, “The situation in the Capital is still stable. I plan to go there after I’ve refined the Spirit Turtle’s core. I’m curious to see if I can cross into the eighth rank.”
“Why don’t I go to the Capital first and meet up with Maxine? I can look into the current situation of the ancient martial world while I’m at it.”
Ever since the Mount Thunder Conference, all the sects of the ancient martial world suffered heavy casualties. Even now, no news came. Thea wanted to help James, and the situation in the ancient martial world was key.
“Will you be fine though?” James looked at virtual-novel.net puzzledly.
Thea was in extraordinary circumstances at the moment. The Spirit Turtle’s blood inside virtual-novel.net body had greatly boosted virtual-novel.net strength. It was enough to make virtual-novel.net experience Energy Deviation, so virtual-novel.net was worried about her.
Thea shot virtual-novel.net a look of annoyance and complained, “Why won’t I be fine?”
“What about the blood inside your body?”
“Don’t worry, I can still suppress it,” Thea said. “Even if I use True Energy and the power of the Spirit Turtle’s blood reawakens, I won’t lose consciousness.”
“Don’t overexert yourself,” James said while looking at her.
“Okay.” Thea nodded and said, “All this while, I’ve been cultivating Ataraxia. This is a cultivation method left behind by the Malevolent King that is designed to suppress the Spirit Turtle’s blood.”
Hearing this, James was at ease and said, “In that case, head over to the Capital and look for Maxine. Try to comprehend the situation of the ancient martial world as soon as possible. What’s most important is to investigate who obtained the Spirit Turtle’s core and their current whereabouts.”
“I’ll try my best.” Thea nodded.
After virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
Upon leaving the front door, virtual-novel.net smile froze.
“The ancient martial world…” virtual-novel.net murmured.
The ancient martial world was a powerful force to be reckoned with when united. If virtual-novel.net wanted to help James, virtual-novel.net had to conquer the ancient martial world. Thus, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to become the Great Grandmaster. It was the only way to make them submit to her.
I have to become the Great Grandmaster of the ancient martial world!
Holding the Malevolent Sword in virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net expression hardened with determination. Now, no one could stand in virtual-novel.net way of becoming the Great Grandmaster. She was confident virtual-novel.net could become the Great Grandmaster with the Spirit Turtle’s blood inside virtual-novel.net body and the Malevolent Sword virtual-novel.net wielded.
Although virtual-novel.net had yet to cross into the fifth rank, once the Spirit Turtle’s blood awakened, virtual-novel.net power would exceed that of an eighth-rank grandmaster. With the Demonic Sword Art, virtual-novel.net was confident virtual-novel.net could defeat anyone in the ancient martial world.
After Thea left, James returned to his room and took out the core of the Spirit Turtle.
Powerful True Energy gathered in his palm, which enveloped the core that was levitating in the air. Then, potent energy materialized from within the core, which was absorbed by James. After absorbing the energy, James’ blood began to churn.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net began losing focus. Strong desires began surfacing in his mind-power, money, and women. He stood on top of the power pyramid and became the one true ruler of the world.
What’s going on?
James stopped himself in time.
Why did so many desires appear in my mind all at once? This has never happened before…
Sweat beaded on his forehead.
What a strange core… My mind was affected just by absorbing a little bit of it…
Looking at the core, virtual-novel.net was unsure whether virtual-novel.net should continue cultivating. He wondered what sort of person virtual-novel.net would become by the time virtual-novel.net finished absorbing and refining the core.
