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
James’ Yogacara was an invincible Sword Energy that was left by the Ancestral Sword Master of the Primeval Age, and possessed the power to destroy worlds.The Sword Energy had become James’ Yogacara. James’ strength reached the Tribulation Rank’s Third Stage, but he could barely utilise the Yogacara’s power.“I’m going in.”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch uttered at James and shot up.The black dragon soared into the sky ahead of them, and its body began to be enshrouded by black clouds. It swiftly moved through the clouds and roared.Its deafening roar caused waves to roil on the sea’s surface.As soon as the Blademaster of Mount Grinch appeared, the black dragon launched a fierce attack at him. It swept its massive tail and evoked a gigantic tsunami.Huge waves about 10,000 meters roiled up in the sea below them.The dragon’s tail swept the tsunami forward.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was not a weak man. He raised his sword and casually waved it to form thousands of Swor
The moment the shadows merged, they formed a gargantuan silhouette in the sky. James hurtled from the sky and plunged his long sword into the black dragon’s body.Time seemed to freeze for the few seconds that followed.A few seconds later, time seemed to have fast-forwarded.James’ sword had completely pierced through the black dragon’s body, and James could be seen under the black dragon.James’ afterimage could not keep up with James’ own speed. Many of his shadow clones trailed close behind James and fused into his body. Boom!The sound of a loud explosion rocked the air.Thousands of Sword Energies erupted from the black dragon’s body, tearing it apart from the inside. The black dragon could not withstand the Sword Energies’ damage and exploded, turning into nothingness and vanishing from sight.The black dragon disappeared after it was defeated.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at James with widened eyes.“You… What kind of sword technique is that?”The Bladem
James had great admiration for the Ancestral Sword Master’s swordsmanship. After he obtained such a splendid technique, he no longer had anyone to fear.Having practiced such powerful swordsmanship, James had no fear, regardless of how challenging the Earth’s Third Calamity would be. James was confident he could guide the humans on Earth through the calamity.The flying battleship smoothly sailed over the ocean.The rest of the journey went by without encountering any other fangers.Another three months passed in the blink of an eye.Suddenly, the battleship came to a stop.James was cultivating in his room, trying to better comprehend the swordsmanship he had learned.A knock came on his door.He got up and opened it.An old man stood outside his room. He wore a gray robe and had a white beard. The old man looked at James respectfully and said, “Mr. Caden, we’ll reach the Seafolk’s domain soon.”“Mhm.” James nodded and walked out of the room. The two of them walked onto
