Chapter 1891
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, he said, “It is my understanding that the Malevolent King from a millennium ago also experienced Energy Deviation. Did he also possess the Supreme Spiritual Root?”
Langston shook his head slightly and said, 1 don’t know either. I only know that he’s a distinguished figure. He was only thirty years of age when he reached the pinnacle of his life. Only a genius like him 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, he left Mount Thunder Pass of the Southern Plains with the Phoenix Essence
Upon his return, he could not help but ruminate over Langston’s words.
The Four Calamities?
Quavon in the mausoleum.
The Four Holy Beasts were left behind to humanity by the earth’s ancestors for them to rise.
However, the Outsiders messed with them.
After thinking for a bit, Langston said, “King Quavon left a message about the Four Calamities. Each Beast will cause one Calamity. I’ve never understood it before, but I had a wild guess recently.”
“Please tell me about it, Grandfather.”
Lanston explained, “The Four Holy Beasts blood cannot make one immortal. It can only allow one to live longer. I took the phoenix’s blood thousands of years ago, but my body’s organs have started showing signs of aging. I’m guessing the phoenix blood can only extend one’s life span by about one thousand years.”
“As for the Four Calamities, if my speculations are correct, four people with Supreme Spiritual Roots will be born on Earth. However, such people will become demonized.”
James frowned and asked, “What are Supreme Spiritual Roots?”
Langston explained, “The strength of one’s Spiritual Root depends on one’s ability to absorb Empyrean Spiritual Energy People with Supreme Spiritual Roots have a strong ability to sense Empyrean Spiritual Energy and are very compatible with it. These kinds of people are talented in cultivation and will improve rapidly.
“In the message left by King Quavon, each calamity will have a destined person to solve it. That is to say. each one of these people who’s to become demonized will be someone fated to resolve the calamity”
James listened carefully.
Lanston continued, “My daughter, Xandra, has a Supreme Spiritual Root and can learn any martial art technique quickly. I suspect the Four Holy Beasts’ blood was tampered with to cause problems for those with a Supreme Spiritual Root. The Outsiders did not want the humans of Earth to rise. If I’m not mistaken, Thea also has a Supreme Spiritual Root.”
Hearing this, James was taken aback.
It was unbelievable.
Thea had a Supreme Spiritual Root?
