Thomas stood by the bed, looking at James, who had a pained expression.
At that moment, his expression became solemn. He kept a close eye on James to immediately pull virtual-novel.net out of danger if something were to go wrong.
With his proficiency in medical skills, virtual-novel.net could still save James if virtual-novel.net acted in time. However, this ordeal would leave James a cripple even if Thomas were to rescue virtual-novel.net in time. This was not the way James‘ destiny was supposed to play out.
Thomas fell into silent contemplation.
Oh right, virtual-novel.net still needs one more push to help virtual-novel.net over the edge…
Thomas suddenly remembered something.
The founder of Polaris Sect created the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals out of desperation. In addition to desperation, virtual-novel.net had a dream.
He wanted to be the world’s greatest martial artist. He dreamed of defeating the Prince of Orchid Mountain, who beat virtual-novel.net and destroyed his cultivation base.
There was another prerequisite to master another person’s martial art and that is to have a similar environment and experience the same emotions as its founder. Only by doing so will one be able to completely master others‘ martial art.
James also had dreams and ambitions. However, virtual-novel.net had not reached the same level of despair as the founder of Polaris Sect.
What can I do to drive virtual-novel.net over the edge?
Thomas fell into thought.
Ten seconds later, virtual-novel.net suddenly had a revelation.
“James, haven’t you always been curious about the identity of Celestial Sect’s leader? I can tell you right now if you want to know so badly… The Celestial Sect’s leader… She is your wife, Thea.”
Just when James was about to lose consciousness, a voice whispered into his ears.
Boom!
These words caused his mind to explode.
What?
Celestial Sect’s leader is Thea?
Is it really her?
James had a suspicion it was virtual-novel.net prior to this but never had the evidence to confirm it.
“Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! How could Thea be so strong? How could virtual-novel.net wield the sword so expertly?”
“It’s true…” Thomas continued in a nonchalant voice. “I’m sure you remember that the Spirit Turtle’s blood flows in Thea’s body. The Spirit Turtle’s blood has untold powers, and virtual-novel.net borrowed its power to increase virtual-novel.net own…”
“As for virtual-novel.net swordsmanship, virtual-novel.net practiced the Demonic Sword Art. It was found in the martial arts heirloom left within the Snow Cavern of Mount Thunder Sect by the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s strongest subordinate, the Malevolent King. The Malevolent King created the sword technique while in a state of insanity…”
“Your grandfather warned Thea that the Spirit Turtle’s blood was evil and that virtual-novel.net should never rely on it. That day in the Snow Cavern, your grandfather also told virtual-novel.net about the Demonic Sword Art, but virtual-novel.net knew it was a malicious technique, so virtual-novel.net warned virtual-novel.net not to practice it. However, Thea secretly went to the Snow Cavern of Mount Thunder Sect and learned the Demonic Sword Art…”
“Everything I’m telling you is the truth… Thea has great ambitions and plans to dominate the world, to become the ruler of the ancient martial world…”
“No, that’s impossible… Thea is not like that,” James refused to accept it.
“She may not have been someone like that, but the Spirit Turtle’s blood flows within her. It’ll influence her, so it’s very likely that she’s changed since then. You’ve also refined the Spirit Turtle’s core yourself. Do you find yourself harboring intense desires from time to time?”
“If the core alone is enough to awaken these desires in you, can you imagine how much worse it would be with the blood?”
“Thea is no longer the one you knew from the past. She’s just using you, that’s all…”
Thomas‘ voice kept echoed mockingly in James‘ ears.
James was utterly blindsided. He had his doubts and suspicions about her.
Thea was the only one that could control the Malevolent Sword. He even questioned virtual-novel.net before, but Thea said virtual-novel.net had passed the sword to Maxine. Then, virtual-novel.net asked Maxine about it. However, Maxine said virtual-novel.net had lost the sword.
“Ha!” James cackled darkly.
It never occurred to virtual-novel.net that the woman beside virtual-novel.net would lie to virtual-novel.net that way. Moreover, virtual-novel.net even secretly established the Celestial Sect.
James‘ heart sank into a pit. The sorrow virtual-novel.net felt after discovering that Thea was the Celestial Sect’s leader all along was more profound than when virtual-novel.net divorced her.
