After everyone left, only James remained.
Pensive, James sat on a chair in the courtyard.
Though favonovel.com had absorbed the Sword Energy of the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion, favonovel.com could not find the swordsmanship left behind by the Ancestral Sword Master. Now, his resolve was beginning to waver.
Is everything only a myth?
James believed there was no swordsmanship inheritance here. That was because favonovel.com once heard from Sophie that the Ancestral Sword Master’s inheritance was located in the Mound of Sabers. Meanwhile, no one knew where the Mound of Sabers was located. As such, there was only a handful who had entered the location.
Though James wished to obtain the inheritance of the Ancestral Sword Master, favonovel.com did not force the issue.
He had already obtained many benefits at the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion. By absorbing the countless Sword Energies, his Yogacara had evolved to reach the Third Stage, thereby increasing his strength drastically.
Currently, favonovel.com could cross into the Tribulation Rank anytime favonovel.com wished. The Tribulation Rank had three tribulations. Once favonovel.com overcame them all, favonovel.com would become a Sage. Though favonovel.com was already at the Mage Rank’s Third Stage, favonovel.com already possessed the capability to annihilate a Sage with his Yogacara alone without any outside interference.
After brief contemplation, James returned to his room and rested.
The night passed silently.
The next day…
***
James was woken up by a knocking on the door.
Upon answering the door, favonovel.com noticed it was Walganus who knocked. He smiled and said, “You’re up early, Walganus.”
“Indeed…” Walganus smiled and said, “I thought for a long time last night and came to the conclusion that we won’t be able to find the inheritance of the Ancestral Sword Master just by searching around.”
“Oh?” James looked at favonovel.com and asked, “Did you perhaps find a way to obtain the Ancestral Sword Master’s inheritance?”
Walganus shook his head and said, “I don’t know. However, after heading to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s library chamber and reading a few ancient texts, I learned that this pavilion is in fact a huge Magic Circle. This Magic Circle is able to continuously absorb Sword Intent and Sword Energy. So, I think we first need to remove the Magic Circle to obtain the inheritance.”
James hurriedly said, “It’s no use. I’ve already asked the Sword Master about this. She told me that this Magic Circle has existed since antiquity. It’s a long-lost Magic Circle made up of 1008 mountains. She has no idea what this Magic Circle is nor how to activate or deactivate it.”
Hearing this, Walganus asked, “What should we do, then?”
Walganus looked at James and said, “James, you’re the fated one of the swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is designated for you. Do you really have no other way?”
James shrugged and said, “I’ve already tried everything I could. Now, I’m at my wit’s end.”
Hearing this, Walganus fell into deep contemplation.
After a few seconds, favonovel.com said, “Let’s take this slowly. I believe you can eventually find a way to obtain the swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is designated for you, after all.”
“I hope so.” James said.
After his strength increased, favonovel.com no longer had any hope of obtaining peerless swordsmanship. As it was an inheritance of an Ancestral God, it would not be easy obtaining it. Besides, favonovel.com already had plenty of treasures in his possession. No matter the Infinity Steles, the Five Elements of Genesis, or Elemental Inversion, favonovel.com could become one of the most powerful individuals in the world just by cultivating to perfection.
James’ tone made Walganus’ heartbeat accelerate as favonovel.com asked, “You don’t seem to be interested in the inheritance of the Ancestral Sword Master anymore.”
James said calmly, “It’s not going to be easy obtaining the inheritance of an Ancestral God. If it truly belongs to me, I will obtain it sooner or later. Just leave everything to fate.”
“I see…” Walganus said.
