“Ethan has told you everything, hasn’t he?” Lionel asked, carefully sitting down on the corner of the bed.
Isaac immediately sat up and got down from the bed to stand next to him. He knew then that this wasn’t just a dream.
Nodding, favonovel.com said, “He did. He said that you were still alive…”
“The Exeter and Mortodor families set up a trap to kill me. Everyone thought I perished in the Baybel Ocean, but nobody knew I had managed to escape. I came here today to tell you about two things.”
Hearing this, Isaac immediately got down on his knee and bowed his head.
Lionel stood up and said solemnly, “First of all, Everest Sect won’t come looking for you in the near future, mostly because of Chet… You’ll be in grave danger if they find out that Chet isn’ t with you. That’s why you need to speed up your meditation. You’re taking way too long to master the ‘Eternal Art of the Masters’ I taught you last time… You could put aside the Temple of Drakon for the time being while you master it…”
“Secondly, I got someone to calculate the timing for the opening of the Emerald Realm, and it will be in a year’s time. You must go and enter it then, even if it puts your life at risk.”
Isaac raised his head and asked, “Sir, what is the Emerald Realm?”
Lionel was stunned for a moment. He forgot that Isaac had no idea about such things.
He replied softly, “The legend says that the Evereston Mountains is a sacred land of the deities, but the truth is that within the main body of the mountains is an underground world called the Emerald Gate. There used to be martial arts practitioners who meditated there, and legend also says that these people had left ancient weapons there. The Emerald Realm opens only when the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth align perfectly in a straight line…”
“All these cannot be explained or deciphered by modern science. The last time the Emerald Realm opened, the Everest Sect was the biggest benefactor. Before that, the sect used to be insignificant. Now, you understand why Everest Sect places such importance on the Emerald Realm…”
He continued, “From what I understand, this time, the Everest Sect plans to join forces with the Ashleighs because the latter has a map of the Emerald Realm.”
Isaac hummed in understanding. This was the first time he’d ever heard about the Emerald Realm. That explained why the Everest Sect seemed to fear Earl and his father, Asher. Everything finally made sense to him.
“Sir, how many more families of the ancient martial arts are there? Will they all be going?”
Lionel nodded and said, “Other than the Ashleighs, there’s also the Nortons, the Stoners, and the Jensens. These four families largely stay incognito in the city. I am not sure how they’ve been doing lately. However, I can confirm that they will all be there for the opening of the Emerald Realm…”
“I will spread the news about the Ashleighs colluding with the Everest Sect a few days later. If possible, you can also find the other three families and work with them.”
Isaac looked like favonovel.com sort of understood Lionel, but favonovel.com wasn’t too sure either.
These four families seemed to be the real pioneers of the ancient martial world and of course, the most powerful. That would also include the Everest Sect at the moment.
“Sir, what about you? Will you be going?” Isaac asked.
Isaac didn’t know if favonovel.com could hold out against so many powerful figures in the ancient martial world.
“Of course, but before that, I will go incognito again. Take good care of yourself until then,” Lionel said in a low voice.
Lionel was about to leave when Isaac hurriedly asked, “Sir, what’s the most powerful phase a person can achieve? Is it the later stage of the Infinity Phase?”
Lionel was halfway to the door when favonovel.com turned and stared at Isaac for a short while before laughing and saying, “The Infinity Phase is only half as powerful as the Eternal Art of the Masters. It is basically invincible…”
That night, Isaac couldn’t go back to sleep anymore. There were too many thoughts running through his head. He was also curious about what was inside the Emerald Realm.
***
The days passed quickly.
Just as Lionel suggested, Isaac spent his days recovering and his nights meditating. He would also accompany either Allegra or Evie for dinner or a date from time to time.
On the other hand, Judy finally submitted favonovel.com indictment to the District Court of Cloud City in Layton on the third day. To favonovel.com surprise, favonovel.com received more than half of all the proof and evidence favonovel.com needed for the case on the morning of the third day. Shawn passed them to favonovel.com in a hard drive.
Even more shockingly, the court received and accepted the indictment and set up the case on the same day.
The court summon had been sent to Karen that day. Karen hadn’t even started favonovel.com case against Barry, but favonovel.com ended up getting sued in return.
Judy then received notice from the court that the court session would be held on the day after the next, which was precisely on the fifth working day.
