“What do you think, Simon?”
Thomas looked at Simon. He required his cooperation.
Although the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s men were completely annihilated on an expedition to slay the Spirit Turtle, the creature which was gravely injured concealed itself in the depths of the Snow Cavern.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Orchid returned for more men and sealed off the Snow Cavern. Only the inheritors of the Mount Thunder Sect could deactivate the mechanisms. Without Simon’s help, Thomas could not enter the Snow Cavern and lure the Spirit Turtle out.
“I can not promise you this, Thomas.”
Simon shook his head and said, “You have become deranged. If I allow you to slay the Spirit Turtle and attain immortality, your existence alone would mean disaster to the world.”
“Preposterous!” Thomas cursed.
“You don’t understand, Simon. It’s near impossible for a human being to live past a hundred years. Even martial artists like us can only live for an additional few decades. What can mankind accomplish with what limited lifespan we have?
“Think about the endless possibilities if an intelligent scientist could live for another thousand years!
“Once we obtain the Spirit Turtle’s blood, we can research it and examine why and how it’s different from human blood. After learning its secrets, humans can become immortal. By then, we could easily leave our solar system behind and travel to other galaxies.”
“You’ve gone mad.”
Simon rebuked him.
“Do you plan to go against me?” Thomas’ face darkened, and a vein popped out in his neck.
He had been concocting this plan for a long time. A few decades ago, after accidentally learning of this secret, he hurriedly headed over to the Mount Thunder Sect to have a look. Upon his return, he began formulating a plan.
