Chapter 1818


    The scent was barely detectable a few days ago. Now, however, the fragrance was more intense.


    Can looked at James.


    James said smilingly, “To be honest with you, I came across a tiny herb that contained a trace of


    Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the mountains a few days ago. So, I brought the herb back and nted it


    on my ntation. Now, all of my other herbs had withered, and only that herb remains. After


    blossoming, its fruit began exuding a fragrance.”


    “Really?”


    Exhrated, Can said, “I’d like to have a look.”


    “Follow me.”


    James brought Can to the ntation behind the wooden house.

    All herbs in the ntation had withered, and only a single herb remained. There was a beautiful red


    fruit. the size of a thumb on the herb.


    The closer they got to the ntation, the more intense the scent was.


    Can crouched down and looked at the herb, “Are you saying that this herb has Empyrean Spiritual


    Energy? Why can’t I sense its presence?”


    James smiled and said, “That’s because you haven’t reached the required realm yet. Once you gain


    insight, you might be able to sense the presence of the Empyrean Spiritual Energy inside the herb.”


    Can stared at the herb for quite some time. However, he was still unable to sense Empyrean Spiritual


    Energy Dismayed, he stood up and asked, “By the way, can Thea sense it too?”


    “Of course.” James nodded.


    Thea had long reached the peak of the Ninth Stair. She had not been idle all these years. She had also


    cultivated the Lunar and Terra Art. However, she did not cultivate the Lunar and Terra Energies.


    Instead, she only used the Lunar and Terra Art’s breathing method to change her body structure


    Can sighed.


    Even Thea had surpassed him. It meant that she was not far away from reaching the ninth rank. He, on


    the other hand, still had a long way to go.


    “By the way…” Reminded of something, Can said, “Have you heard? A new force has emerged out


    of nowhere recently.”


    “Huh?” James was puzzled. He had remained in the vige over the past few days. Naturally, he did


    not pay any heed to the affairs of the outside world.


    He looked at Can and asked, “What kind of force?”


    “I think it’s called the Void Sect.”


    “When did it emerge?”


    Can said, “Almost immediately after the battle between Sky and the Omniscient Deity. I hear that the


    Void Sect is extremely powerful. Its disciples have defeated many powerful sects already.”


    “How do you know what’s going on outside when you’re confined to this tiny vige?”


    “Hehe..” Can smiled and said, “Although I currently reside in this tiny vige, I’m still the Sect Leader


    of the Gu Sect. The Gu Sect is a powerful force with an intelligencework that has spread all over


    the world. Lately, I’ve been paying close attention to the affairs of the outside world, so naturally, I know


    more than you do.”


    “This has nothing to do with me,” James said nonchntly.


    Now, he did not wish to concern himself with the affairs of the ancient martial world.


    “Alright, I’ll be taking my leave. I have to enter a closed-door meditation now.”


    Can did not linger for long and turned to leave.


    James stared at the herb. Looking at the bright red fruit and the alluring fragrance it exuded, he


    suddenly had the urge to pluck the fruit and swallow it whole.


    However, he suppressed the urge to do so.
