Sophie helped James to obtain a clue about the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword’s location.“Since the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword’s existence is linked to the many mysteries of this world, it should be a weapon above the Grand Emperor Rank. Since I’m not a Grand Emperor, I can’t pinpoint its exact location. All I could glean is the fact that you’ll have to travel to the Seafolk’s territory.”Sophie could not deduce the specific location of the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword but at least found a lead. This was more than enough to help James.James said gratefully, “Thanks, Ms. Sophie.”It would be much easier for James to find the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword with a hint about its location.He hurriedly left the Celestial Abode and returned to Sangria Palace. Then, he sent a subordinate to look for General Quinella.James sat in a lotus position on a rock in the palace’s backyard and looked into the distance.Soon, Quinella walked over to him.Surprisingly, she was not dressed in armor today bu
James did not explain much to Walganus. Instead, he said, “Just wait patiently.”After leaving Walganus with a few words, James returned to his room to rest.Meanwhile, Quinella had begun using Sangria’s intelligence networks to inquire about the Seafolk.The Seafolk were shut off from the rest of world. Most of them avoided revealing themselves, but there were a few exceptions to that rule. Although it was very uncommon, a few of them still wandered around the planet.Galileo was abundant in cultivators. Some of them would travel to the oceans to look for treasures. As such, some would accidentally trespass into the Seafolk’s territory.Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.Quinella had gathered some information about the Seafolk.“Your Majesty.”Quinella kneeled on one knee.James gently waved his hand and said, “Alright, you may rise.”Quinella stood up with James’ permission.“Do you have any news about the Seafolk?” asked James.Quinella nodded and replied, “Yes, Y
James was worried that Korinth would send troops to invade Sangria again after he left.Therefore, he brought two people out of the Celestial Abode to secretly protect the country.With the two powerful women who were at the Sage Rank’s Fifteenth Stage, it would be impossible for Korinth to conquer Sangria regardless of how many troops they sent.After ensuring Sangria’s safety, James waited for Walganus to come to see him again.Walganus reunited with him in a few days after.The Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s new Sword Master, Yanina, accompanied him.Yanina had elegant features and looked extremely skilled. She came in wearing a purple dress.“James, let me introduce the both of you to each other. This is the new Crepe Myrtle Sword Master, Yanina Hailety. Before Xanthe left, she passed on the position of Sword Master to Yanina.”Walganus introduced Yanina to James.Xanthe smiled faintly and greeted James respectfully. “It’s an honor to meet you, Your Majesty.”Although Jame
She turned and left the building.Meanwhile, the other three held their stances with their long swords pointed at James’ party.James was not in a rush, so he waited patiently.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was seated on the ground in a room in the house ahead of them. Intense energy emanated from his body and gathered into impressive Sword Energy.He looked rather elderly and seemed to have aged a bit more from his time in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.His hair was completely white.“Master.”A voice came from outside his room door.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch stopped cultivating and dissipated his energy. He stood up from the ground, sat on a chair next to him, and replied, “Come in.”A woman walked into the room and said respectfully, “Master, Sangria’s new Emperor, James Caden, has come to visit.”“Oh?” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch expressed his surprise.He heard about James. Recently, James’ feats were a hot topic throughout Galileo.He murmured, “Why di
James brought Walganus and Yanina to ask the Blademaster of Mount Grinch to lead them to the Seafolk.However, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch changed his attitude toward them when they brought up the Seafolk.Walganus looked at James and said solemnly, “The Blademaster of Mount Grinch is quite strong. Even with our strength combined, we won’t be able to take him on. Convincing him to bring us to the Seafolk will be hard. What do you say we do now?”James was at a loss.He was confused about why the Blademaster of Mount Grinch suddenly behaved differently after hearing them mention the Seafolk.All three of them had no idea what to do.James fell into thought.After briefly thinking about it, James said, “You’ve got an awful temper, Walganus. If I were the Blademaster of Mount Grinch, I’d also be offended by your attitude. You two should wait here. I’ll try talking to him again.”“Are you sure?” asked Walganus.“I’ll have to try.” James was not confident. However, he could t
“That’s my own problem, and it has nothing to do with you.” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at James resentfully.James tried to placate him. “I’m sure you’ve heard rumors that a fated one will appear in Sangria and lift the curse. I happen to be the fated one from the legends. I can lift the curse and undo the Cursed Seal on this planet. After I succeed, the curse on this planet will be gone, and there won’t be a limit on the lifespan of living beings here. You’ll be able to continue living.”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at James and asked, “So what’s the reason you came to see me?”James said earnestly, “The Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion plays an important part in lifting these curses. The key to unraveling the secrets within the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion is the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword which was lost long ago. I obtained a clue about its location being related to the Seafolk. I must travel to see the Seafolk so that I can acquire the sword to lift the curse on t
The time period of half a year was nothing to cultivators.After the Blademaster of Mount Grinch spoke, he lightly flicked his wrist.A dazzling light emerged from his palm, and a small warship appeared. The warship gradually grew bigger and eventually stopped when it reached the size of a building.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch said, “I’ve spent countless years building this flying battleship. Its defenses are so robust that even monsters of the Sage Rank’s Fifteenth Stage won’t be able to lay a scratch on it.“There are many powerful monsters out at sea. It’ll be safer if we travel on my flying battleship.“Go ahead and board the ship.”After speaking, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch boarded the flying battleship.James and the others also got on shortly after that.After they boarded the battleship, it slowly began to soar toward the sky and rapidly made its way to the oceans. A Sage traveling at full speed could not even compare to the speed of this battleship.The bat
James said, “Then let’s take a detour.”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch shook his head and said, “This is the only way to reach the Seafolk. There are many space storms and dimensional cracks above the oceans. If we take a detour and end up in these rifts, we’re going to die.”“Then what should we do?” Walganus was anxious.“Let’s turn back.” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch thought for a while and said, “In my current state, I won’t be able to defeat the dragon even if I give up my life for it. However, I’ll be able to live a little longer if we head back where we came.”Walganus immediately said, “No way. We’re so close to the Seafolk’s territory. How can we give up so easily? Let’s fight together. We might be able to kill the dragon if we team up.”Hearing this, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch cast a glance at Walganus.“It’s not like I’m trying to underestimate you, young man, but what will you use to fight the dragon?”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch could not ascertain Wa
