The man asked, What do you think? Is it possible?"


    James replied calmly, “I doubt I can see eye to eye with you, Sir.


    But, I can proudly say that we might share a simr understanding."


    The man raised his head in delight and burst intoughter.


    “I can''t believe the time has finallye after I''ve waited so many years."


    James turned around.


    Although he could not see the man’s face, he had an overwhelming presence.


    “I''ll impart my lifelong knowledge to you.


    But first, you must do three things for me,"


    said the man.


    James said respectfully, “Please enlighten me, Sir."

    The manmended authoritatively, "You should kneel and acknowledge me as your master before I


    borate."


    James responded with a smile and a shake of his head, decisively declining, “If you don''t disclose the


    three tasks, I must respectfully decline, for I do notmit to promises I can''t keep."


    The man’s blood-red aura churned violently but then subsided into silence.


    Despite his resolve, James felt a flutter of nervousness.


    After all, receiving the legacy of Emperor Yarden was a dream.


    For James, gaining this inheritance could elevate him beyond Yehria.


    Perhaps he might even be a match against Zymurgy’s powerhouses.


    Yet James held steadfast to his principles.


    He refused to make frivolous promises, lured by the prospect of immense fortune.


    He believed firmly that failing to uphold amitment, regardless of anyck of repercussions, would


    betray his conscience—an oue he could not ept.


    The man pointed at James and said, “You''re so stubborn, but I admire it.


    You live up to your word and take promises seriously.


    “Fine, I''ll tell you my conditions before you decide."


    James looked at him and listened attentively.


    He continued, “First, I need you to do some cleaning up.


    I have ten disciples under me with different kinds of Supernatural Powers.


    I originally trained them, hoping they could better serve the Greater Realm’s growth and carry forward


    my teachings.


    “Contrary to my ideals, they entered Zymurgy, took on pivotal positions, and developed a


    consciousness of our own.


    Again, the man pointed at James and said, “I shall grant you the Bloodshade Token to help me rectify


    the Bloodshade Sect.


    Kill anyone who disobeys."


    After speaking, he waved his hand, and a zing purple token emerged in sight.


    James could sense a boundless powering from it as if it could instantly consume him.


    He cautiously reached out and grasped it.


    Upon contact, a profound and mysterious force coursed through his body with such intensity that his


    body began shuddering involuntarily.


    Then, purple mes red up from his hands.


    The scorching heat seemed as if capable of incinerating anything in its path.


    Feeling the immense power surging within him, James could not help but be awed by the magnitude of


    the force he now controlled.


    After gaining the Supernatural Power, James raised his head and asked, “What''s the second


    condition?"


    The man answered, “Next, I need you to purify Zymurgy.


    I understand you have no desire for the Supreme Path and care deeply for the Greater Realms.


    You thrive on freedom and can''t be restrained."


    “The Supreme Path will be bestowed with the great responsibility.


    But first, his resolve must be toughened, his muscles and bones tired and his body starved.


    Ultimately, he will have to be emptied and depleted."


    “I won''t talk to you about fate, nor will I discuss the grand principles of saving the Greater Realms and


    the myriad of living beings.


    However, the dissatisfaction and indignation you feel towards the currentws and patterns, why


    should it be suppressed by feelings and attachments?"
