Chapter 1448


    James’ private ne did not leave and had been waiting for him the entire time.


    After leaving Mount Thunder Sect, James boarded the ne once more and headed to the Southern


    ins.


    On the ne, Diney sat beside him in adylike manner and was focused on reading the thick


    historical book in her hands.


    James and Diney were sitting less than a meter apart.


    James threw a casual nce at the woman next to him and found himself interested in this so-called


    living encyclopedia of the ancient martial world.


    He had met Diney a few times but had hardly spoken to her.


    “Whar are you reading?”


    James observed her for a while and could not help asking out of curiosity.


    Hearing his question, Diney put down the book and gave James a smile.


    Her brilliant white teeth shone through her lips, and her two shallow dimples were visible. Her lovely


    smile was enough to melt anyone’s heart.


    “It’s a book written by Mount Thunder Sect.”


    Diney exined, “Since the history of our sect, we’ve constantly collected information and recorded


    events that happened during different periods of history. This also includes outstanding martial artists


    throughout the generations and the first appearance of every martial art technique.”


    “Is it that extensive?” James’ curiosity was piqued.


    “Yeap.”


    “Let me have a look.”


    Diney handed over the book in her hand and said, “This book only contains the events from thest


    hundred years. The older ones are in our sect’s library.”


    James took the book, flipped it open, and began to read through it.


    It was just as Diney said and contained historical records of thest century.


    The records started from the fall of the previous dynasty.


    James was immersed in reading the book.


    The book even recorded Gu Sect’s participation in the war and the man that was renowned during that


    century, Can.


    That aside, the founding of Sol was also penned in the book’s pages.


    It contained incredibly detailed records of history.


    At the end of the book, he found a familiar person’s name on one of the pages.


    James Caden, a member of the Cadens who leads the Ancient Four. Comprehensive evaluation: 3rd in


    thest thousand years.”


    After James read through it, he found his hand scratching his nose bashfully.


    He turned to the girl beside him. “Who wrote thisst paragraph?”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Diney answered, “My dad.”


    James said with a sheepish smile, “I didn’t expect Mr. Cabral to have such a high opinion of me.”


    With that said, he returned the book to Diney.


    Diney took the book and put it away.


    James asked, “Since Mount Thunder Sect has records of events in the past millennia, who are ranked


    first and second among the martial artists observed by your sect?”


    Diney was familiar with the history of the martial world and replied without skipping a beat, “Number


    one is naturally the Prince of Orchid Mountain. ording to historical records, he was the closest


    person to bing a ninth-ranked grandmaster. It’s also spected that he had actually stepped into


    the ninth rank.”


    James asked, “Then who’s second?”


    “Spirit.”


    “Who?” James tilted his head in confusion.


    Diney introduced him in detail, “A hundred years ago, he was an invincible martial artist who came


    up with Spiritual Art and Spiritual Palm. He was also known as the scourge of that generation. In our


    ancient books, it’s recorded that various amazing martial artists from all over the world gathered to take


    him down. However, most of them were no match for him. If his cultivation did not go awry resulting in


    his True Energy going haywire, he would not have lost.”


    “What is Spirit’s rank in the ancient books of Mount Thunder Sect?”


    James was interested in the outstanding martial artists that were described in this book.


    He was familiar with the Prince of Orchid Mountain and the terms regarding Spirit.


    Although it was his first time learning of the actual person’s existence, he had heard of Spiritual Art


    before.


    It was the very same set of martial arts that his grandfather had practiced.


    Thea also practiced this self-same art albeit for a short period.


    Diney replied, “There’s no detailed information about him, only a rough estimation. During that


    period, our sect leader of that period gave him a strength evaluation of the eighth stairs of the Skyward


    Stairway.


    At that moment, James suddenly thought of someone-the Archbishop of Pris Sect.


    Sol was known as Martial Heaven Continent more than a thousand years ago.
