The Ancestral Sword Master looked at Herschel and asked, “What do you mean?”
Herschel replied, “It’s rumored that James comprehended the Five Great Paths after inspecting the Sacred Blossom. On top of that, he even cultivated the Five Great Paths’ Ousias. He’s indeed a prodigy. So, I’ll give him a chance to live. I’ll hunt him for ten thousand years. If he can survive, I’ll let this matter go. But, if he dies, you can’t pin the blame on me.”
“You’re a jerk!”
Sienna stood up and reprimanded him, “He’s not even a Quasi-Emperor. How is he going to survive with you hunting him? You wouldn't have dared to state such nonsense if he were at the same cultivation rank as you!”
The Ancestral Sword Master said, “She’s right. You’re a Terra Ancestral God, so why insist on troubling a younger generation?
In fact, Herschel actually had his reasons.
He could forgive James for calling Thea’s name.
However, James had comprehended the Five Great Paths and cultivated their Ousias. His father had sensed that an embryonic form of Macrocosm Power had appeared. Moreover, he had learned that James was the person who possessed the embryonic form of Macrocosm Power. The embryonic form of Macrocosm Power was born because James had cultivated the Five Great Paths’ Ousias.”
If Jame were to continue growing as a cultivator, he would eventually become a Macrocosm Ancestral God.
This would threaten the status of Mount Heavenly Path and his father.
However, Herschel could not share this information. Thus, he could only keep it to himself and shoulder the burden alone.
Herschel looked at the Ancestral Sword Master and said smilingly, “You’re too worried. Of course, I won’t personally go after him. I’ll send some powerhouses to hunt him down. Naturally, these powerhouses will be at about the same rank as him. At most, they’ll only be about two ranks higher than him.”
James did not respond and simply stared at Herschel.
Herschel looked at James and said, “Your physical strength is at the Grand Emperor Rank’s Fifth Heaven. Thus, the powerhouses I send after you will be Seventh Heaven Grand Emperors at most. If you can survive the pursuit of the powerhouses I send after your life, I’ll let this matter go. I’ll also allow you to enter Mount Heavenly Path.”
The Ancestral Sword Master frowned.
Why was Herschel so persistent in killing James?
Herschel was a Terra Ancestral God. Was it worth going through so much effort to eliminate a cultivator that had not even stepped into the Quasi Emperor Rank?
