The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 A Fortune Teller Old Man

Return to the Origins of Power was a forbidden technique.

The practitioner used their own essence and blood as a foundation. Once executed, it could absorb the Chi energy of opponents with lower cultivation levels in the vicinity, hence the name 'Return to the Origins of Power.' As for how far it can absorb Chi energy, it depended on the practitioner's cultivation level. If it was a War God-Emperor realm expert, the range could extend to kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers. Of course, since it was a forbidden technique, there were risks if not controlled properly. Besides depleting one's own essence and blood, there was a danger of damaging meridians and even the Dantian.

"Boss according to legend, 'Return to the Origins of Power' was lost a hundred years ago. How could a fortune teller know this technique?" Stout asked.

"As far as I know, this technique appeared in the capital city thirty years ago." Billy replied thoughtfully.

"Really?" Stout looked surprised. "Do you know who used it?"

"Arthur Fowler!" Billy uttered a name.

"What?!" Azure Fang exclaimed upon hearing the name. "Him?"

"Azure Fang, who is Arthur Fowler?" Stout scratched his head.

"The former chief of Central Sky Office." Azure Fang replied.

"Ah?" Stout exclaimed. Michael Hornig and the others wore surprised expressions as well. The former chief, a high-ranking official of Central Sky Office, was a significant figure in the country.

"According to rumors, he was heavily injured by enemies and has been dead for over twenty years." Azure Fang added.

"Huh?" Stout blinked and then looked at Billy. "Boss, could the old man Nigel mentioned be Arthur Fowler?"

"It's unlikely," Azure Fang paused. "Even if he's not dead, why would he leave Central Sky Office and stay in such a place?"

"Could it be that Nigel's hometown holds some treasure, like a supreme realm inheritance?" Stout speculated.

"Stout, you've read too many novels." Azure Fang retorted.

The martial arts tradition in Glavale had lasted for thousands of years, and while many God-Emperor realm experts had fallen during that time, most of them died of natural causes, and their legacies remained within their families or sects. Even if some had died unexpectedly, most of them had left no trace behind. Today, God-Emperor realm inheritances were extremely rare and couldn't be found everywhere.

"Besides, even if there were a God-Emperor realm inheritance, it would be challenging to entice someone of Arthur Fowler's caliber." Azure Fang added.

"Alright," Stout shrugged and continued, "Boss, even if that old man isn't Arthur Fowler, he's definitely not an ordinary person. Shouldn't we go check out that village?"

"Azure Fang, use my authority to access the SHADOW system and pull up a picture of Mr Fowler for Nigel to compare." Billy suggested after a moment of thought.

"Sure," Azure Fang nodded and took out his phone to operate it. In no time, an image of an elderly man appeared on the phone screen.

"He doesn't look like Robson." Nigel said after inspecting the image on Azure Fang's phone.

"Boss, if he is indeed Arthur Fowler, he might be intentionally concealing his identity." Stout remained skeptical.

"Perhaps," Billy agreed. "In that case, Nigel, did you tell Alexandra Maynard about Robson's visit?"
