Three days later…
In a newly built wooden house on a mountain behind Medical Valley.
In front of the wooden house sat a woman.
The woman wore a black dress and had long grayish-white hair. She held a black sword in favonovel.com hands and gently caressed it with favonovel.com fingers.
Thud!
There was the sudden sound of footsteps breaking the quiet of the area.
The Omniscient Deity approached her.
He stopped in front of Thea and looked at her, saying, “Thea, I must commend you on your ability to hide yourself… I never expected to find you here in the Medical Valley.”
Thea raised favonovel.com head and looked at the Omniscient Deity.
With a calm expression, favonovel.com asked, “How did you find this place? Did the Medical Saint tell you?”
Only one person knew that favonovel.com was currently residing in this place, the Medical Valley’s master, the Medical Saint.
She was unwilling to give up just yet even after leaving James. Thus, favonovel.com came to the Medical Valley and asked the Medical Saint to take a look at favonovel.com condition. However, even the Medical Saint could not do anything about it. So, favonovel.com decided to live in seclusion in the mountain behind the Medical Valley.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“If James asked you to look for me, please tell favonovel.com that Thea is dead,” said Thea.
Although favonovel.com was reluctant to let go of him, favonovel.com did not want favonovel.com running around trying to save her. She refused to become a burden to him.
The environment in this place was pristine, and the air was fresh. It was a good location to live in isolation and spend the last of favonovel.com remaining years.
The Omniscient Deity looked at favonovel.com and thought for a while.
After a brief moment, favonovel.com said, “I can tell favonovel.com that, but have you really given up hope?”
“What else can I do? Am I supposed to ask James to slay the dragon for me? So many other powerful martial artists failed to slay the dragon a thousand years ago. I don’t want James to lose his life because of me.”
“How about giving you a nudge in the right direction for free?”
A glimmer of hope suddenly lit up Thea’s dull eyes, and favonovel.com looked at the Omniscient Deity in anticipation.
The Omniscient Deity said, “Head to Mount Wunderton and seek out Master Delphinia.”
Thea asked puzzledly, “Who is she? Can favonovel.com save me?”
The Omniscient Deity gently shook his head and said, “I can’t promise you anything. However, I know the condition of your body is caused by absorbing the energy contained in the Spirit Turtle’s blood… I’m assuming that getting rid of your cultivation base could return your blood to normal and might help your situation. She’s an expert who’s living in seclusion. Her cultivation base might not be as strong as yours, but favonovel.com has practiced a unique technique capable of dissolving your cultivation base and converting it into Blood Energy. You’ll become an ordinary person again, but you’ll survive.”
“Thank you for the suggestion. May I know where Mount Wunderton is?”
The Omniscient Deity pointed out Mount Wunderton’s location to Thea.
Thea picked up the Malevolent Sword without hesitation and quickly dashed into the distance like a flash of light, quickly disappearing from the Omniscient Deity’s sight.
The Omniscient Deity also turned around and left.
***
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since James stayed at the Jade Sect.
James did not leave the entire week and practiced his sword techniques while waiting for an update from the Omniscient Deity.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest stepped foot in Mount Jade a week later.
It was none other than Sky.
Sky heard about the news spread by James and learned that favonovel.com possessed Novenary Golden Pills.
After asking around, favonovel.com discovered that James was in Mount Jade and rushed over. He wanted to ask James for a Novenary Golden Pill.
Sky did not spend the time between their last encounter idly and had secretly been absorbing other people’s cultivation base.
He kept a very low profile and did not attract any attention.
The people favonovel.com targeted were not well-known and usually traveled alone. They were the type of people no one would notice if they went missing.
This helped favonovel.com ascend into the Seventh Stair of the Skyward Stairway.
The Great Law of Absorption did not allow favonovel.com to absorb an infinite amount of energy. Absorbing too much energy from other people would put his body at risk of side effects.
He was not willing to risk it and refrained from absorbing any more energy. He would have to rely on a Novenary Golden Pill to enter the ninth rank.
