Chapter 1305
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 her puzzledly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThea was in extraordinary circumstances at the moment. The Spirit Turtle’s blood inside her body had greatly
boosted her strength. It was enough to make her experience Energy Deviation, so he was worried about her.
Thea shot him a look of annoyance and complained, “Why won’t I be fine?”
“W-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.
“Mhm.” 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 she said that, she turned to leave.
Upon leaving the front door, her smile froze.
“The ancient martial world…” she murmured.
The ancient martial world was a powerful force to be reckoned with when united. If she wanted to help James, she
had to conquer the ancient martial world. Thus, she 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 her hand, her expression hardened with determination. Now, no one could stand in
her way of becoming the Great Grandmaster.
She was confident she could become the Great Grandmaster with the Spirit Turtle’s blood inside her body and the
Malevolent Sword she wielded.
Although she had yet to cross into the fifth rank, once the Spirit Turtle’s blood awakened, her power
would exceed that of an eighth-rank grandmaster. With the Demonic Sword Art, she was confident she could defeat

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, he 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, he was unsure whether he should continue cultivating.
He wondered what sort of person he would become by the time he finished absorbing and refining the
core.
