Langston told James about the Supreme Spiritual Root.
Whoever possessed the Supreme Spiritual Root would be bright, distinguished individuals born to persevere in the face of the Calamity.
However, what was the Calamity?
Based on Langston’s thoughts, the Calamity would be brought about by the seal’s activation. This would be the greatest catastrophe mankind would ever face. However, to deal with the menace, mankind’s ancestors had come up with a countermeasure. They would allow mankind to obtain the blood of the Four Holy Beasts so that they could gain extraordinary lifespans, which would allow them to emerge rapidly to deal with the looming threat. However, upon foreseeing the plans of mankind’s ancestors, the enemy tampered with the Four Holy Beasts.
“This is my hypothesis based on the message left behind in King Quavon’s Mausoleum. Only time can verify its authenticity.”
Langston could not be sure whether his speculations were true. “However, I believe this is not too far from the truth.”
James listened intently.
Upon hearing Langston’s words, his heart was unable to settle down.
Then, Langston pointed to the Phoenix Essence on the table and said, “This is a complete Phoenix Essence. Now that I have no more use for it. I’ll hand it over to you. Increase your cultivation base as much as possible in the shortest amount of time available to you.”
“Me?” James was shocked.
Langston only managed to obtain the Phoenix Essence after going to great lengths.
“Yes, this is for you. But, be mindful that the items on the Four Holy Beasts-the Spirit Turtle’s core and the blood of the phoenix and dragon-can make you experience Energy Deviation. Any desire that surfaces in your mind will be amplified almost immediately. Of course, ordinary people are vulnerable to this phenomenon. However, you who possess the Supreme Spiritual Root will experience Energy Deviation without a doubt.”
Upon hearing this, James was lost in contemplation.
After some time, favonovel.com said, “It is my understanding that the Malevolent King from a millennium ago also experienced Energy Deviation. Did favonovel.com also possess the Supreme Spiritual Root?”
Langston shook his head slightly and said, “I don’t know either. I only know that he’s a distinguished figure. He was only thirty years of age when favonovel.com reached the pinnacle of his life. Only a genius like favonovel.com is capable of creating Ataraxia and the Demonic Sword Art.”
“Alright, enough dilly-dallying already. Take the Phoenix Essence and leave. Bring some phoenix blood along with you as well. Soon, I’ll leave this place and head to Lothian to nurture a new generation of talents with the phoenix blood.”
Then, Tyrus went to obtain the phoenix blood alongside James who complied with Langston’s orders. After obtaining the phoenix blood, favonovel.com left Mount Thunder Pass of the Southern Plains with the Phoenix Essence.
Upon his return, favonovel.com could not help but ruminate over Langston’s words.
The Four Calamities?
Was favonovel.com referring to four individuals or perhaps the Four Holy Beasts?
James was lost in contemplation.
If Langston’s speculation were correct, the Four Calamities would refer to the Four Holy Beasts and not four individuals. After all, if the items on the Four Holy Beasts could make those who possess the Supreme Spiritual Root experience Energy Deviation, it would be a catastrophe for all of mankind.
A fast learner… Bright and distinguished…
James murmured.
Immediately, a figure came to mind-Delainey Cabral.
To his understanding, Delainey had been a brilliant child since favonovel.com was young. After obtaining the Dragon Essence and the dragon’s blood, favonovel.com managed to reach the peak of the Ninth Stair in three short years. She even established an invincible martial art skill of favonovel.com own, Geostigma.
He immediately called Delainey.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived at his residence.
Over the past few days, Delainey had been restructuring the Black Dragon Army
“James…”
Delainey, who was wearing a military uniform, walked in. She exuded a charismatic aura.
“Here, have a seat…” James collected himself and pointed to the sofa beside him.
Delainey sat down and looked at James, asking, “Is something the matter?”
