Chapter 1003


    Old Hagstorm looked at Registus and said, “Cultivating immortality!”


    “Cultivating immortality?”


    Registus could not help but be shocked at the words.


    Immortality…


    It was a mere legend. Flying, possessing overwhelming power, and performing miraculous feats. They


    were virtually omnipotent.


    Even ancient martial practitioners who could defy gravity, scale walls, or split mountains with their


    martial techniques had already transcended ordinary people.


    Did immortals really exist in this world?


    Did such a superpower truly exist?


    “Yes, cultivating immortality.” Old Hagstorm said confidently, then borated, “People have five senses:


    sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. By developing these senses to the peak, they can be


    ordinary


    martial artists.


    “When martial artists reach a certain level, they develop a sixth sense–the so–called spiritual


    perception. After gaining the sixth sense, one bes an ancient martial artist.


    “However, that’s not the end of cultivation. The sixth sense is not the limit of what the human body is


    capable of.


    “Beyond the sixth sense is a mysterious and profound extraordinary seventh sense.


    “However, the seventh sense is not inherent. Only those who cultivate their sixth sense to the pinnacle


    and break through the limits of humanity are able to develop the seventh sense.


    “This process… is difficult. It’s extremely difficult.


    “Even now, in the entire ancient martial world, there’s no one known to have reached the level of a


    Martial Saint, let alone master the sixth sense to the point of developing the seventh sense.”


    Old Hagstorm sighed, then added, “However, if one truly cultivates the sixth sense to its pinnacle,


    breaks through the limits, and attains the seventh strength, it’s like stepping on an entirely new path,


    opening the door to a new world.


    “From then on, they are removed from the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. They transcend


    the mundane, and their abilities would be extraordinary. They’ll finally embark on the path to cultivating


    immortality!


    “The ultimate secret of the Klein family’s treasure is cultivating immortality!”


    Registus‘ eyes widened at the words.


    Cultivating immortality…


    If someone could truly achieve it, it would undoubtedly alter the whole of Florence and potentially


    change the world and the course of history.


    Registus still had many questions. Thus, he asked, “Master, if the Kleins discovered this secret twenty


    years ago, why didn’t they simply take the treasure with them?


    “With a cultivation technique for immortality, as long as they cultivated it diligently, they’d have left and


    returned as kings. Wiping out the four families and taking over the ancient martial world would not have


    been an issue. Why were they still wiped out by the four families?”


    Registus was confused.


    Old Hagstorm shook his head and sighed. “Back then, when the Klein family finally obtained the


    treasure, they did not have much time left.


    “As for your question, it’s simply impossible to take the treasure and hide away to cultivate. To achieve


    immortality, one must at least have the strength of a Martial Saint. Otherwise, they can’t even cross the


    most basic threshold.”


    Registus nodded slightly. That was indeed a problem.


    “However, the Kleins did not do nothing.” Old Hagstorm continued, “They set a massive trap and did


    two very important things after obtaining the treasure.”


    “What are they?” Registus looked at Old Hagstorm and instinctively asked.


    “First, the Kleins divided the jade pendant to open the Immortal’s Lair into seven pieces. Only when all


    seven pieces of the jade pendant are gathered can the Immortal’s Lair be unlocked.


    Seven jade pieces?


    Registus frowned and asked in confusion, “Master, my reliable sources informed me that there were


    only six jade pendants at the Klein family’s treasure location. The Anders, the Fullers, the Sheppards,


    and the Swallows, as well as the Medicine Sect and Andrius, each had one.


    “The Ander family’s pendant was stolen, and Andrius‘ pendant was taken.


    “Currently, the Medicine Sect, the Sheppards, and the Fullers have one each, the Swallows have two,


    and the other one is missing.”


    Then, he stared intently at Old Hagstorm, hoping for an answer.

    Old Hagstorm chuckled and said, “The seventh piece will appear when the time is right.”
