chapter 2116-2120


    Chapter 2116


    As this matter caused such a big sensation, many formal disciples were eager to give it a try. Noel’s lips


    twisted into a helpless, envious smile. “We informal disciples can only observe the scene; chances like


    these won’t ever happen to us. Still, I feel that everybody can be Elder Eleven’s final disciple, apart from


    Oliver.”


    After having said this, Noel stared at Jackie for a considerable time, and Jackie understood what he


    meant. As Wesley’s full brother, Oliver would definitely hate Jackie, seeing as deep grievances ran


    between him and Wesley. Jackie might be the first person he would go after the moment he achieved


    great feats.


    Jackie chuckled and said, “I believe that Elder Godfrey is a wise person. He won’t be somebody else’s


    pawn for unknown reasons and hand over all his belongings to outsiders.”


    Zayn frowned as he obviously did not understand what Jackie meant by what he said. However, Noel’s


    eyes lit up as he sipped his tea, pretending that he did not care. “You have a point there, but there aren’t


    any guarantees that something won’t go wrong. It’s best to be prepared so that we won’t be


    overwhelmed by then.”


    Jackie nodded. He knew that Noel was reminding him that they should be prepared for trouble, seeing as


    he had a massive conflict with Wesley before. However, Jackie was not afraid. After all, he was not


    useless, and this pressure would be his motivation


    Noel was stunned when noticed how Jackie’s expression did not falter, even after he had mentioned the


    concerns. “You have quite an impressive mentality.”

    Jackie raised his brows. “This has nothing to do with my mentality. Even if I worry about such matters


    every day, I can’t stop whatever that’s going to happen. If so, why don’t I focus my attention on training


    and work hard to increase my fighting prowess so that I can deal with anything thrown at me next?”


    Jackie enunciated every word when he spoke and with a clear mind. The more he acted like this, the


    more Noel felt envious of people like Jackie. Jackie’s confidence did not appear out of nowhere. Instead,


    it came from his talents, which would support him constantly. Compared to Jackie, he was amon


    person.


    Still, he understood that it was unfair topare two people, so he changed the subject of the


    conversation back to how Elder Eleven was recruiting an elder disciple

    He sighed softly and said in a rxed manner, “Elder Eleven mentioned that his disciple has to be able


    to satisfy all his requirements.”

    Zayn was slightly puzzled and asked, “What does he mean, satisfying all his requirements? I


    remembered that Elder Eleven didn’t mention the conditions of his satisfaction.”


    Noel sneered; he was obviously mocking Zayn’s intellect. “Can’t you understand what he’s trying to say?


    Which of our formal elders don’t try their hardest to have an unpredictable image? They’d never voice


    out their intentions straightforwardly. Instead, the disciples would need to guess the hidden agenda


    behind their words. The intention behind what he said is quite clear. Doesn’t satisfying all his


    requirements mean that this person has to be excellent in everything? Elder Godfrey has to be satisfied


    with this person’s talents, temperament, and looks!


    Zayn’s expression visibly shifted, showing his realization. His frown slowly disappeared as he smacked


    his thigh. “So that’s what it is. I thought that Elder Eleven’s requirement is for his disciple to tter him. If


    that’s all he needs, I can do it, too!”


    Noel could not help but roll his eyes when he heard what Zayn said. In the end, he refused to even look


    at Zayn.


    Chapter 2117


    “Which of the elders do you think will ept disciples who are good at ttery? There are tons of


    disciples who like to tter the elders, so is there a need to ept them as elder disciples? If he likes to


    listen to ttering words that much, I can instantly give up my position here and wait for him at his door


    every day to tell him a hundred ttering sentences, different every time.”


    Zayn guffawed at this, and even Jackie could not fight the faint smile that crept onto his face. However,


    Noel was indifferent toward their reactions.


    On the way back to his room, Jackie was still thinking of what they had discussed. He was certain that


    Elder Godfrey had his own ns for suddenly announcing his intention of getting hisst disciple at this


    moment. He did not believe that Elder Godfrey was able to forget his near-death experience at Mount


    Beasts.


    People at Elder Godfrey’s position were extremely hateful of injustice and they would not repay


    grievances with virtue. It was possible that he had other intentions, too. As Jackie’s thoughts migrated to


    this issue, he started to specte about the person who framed Elder Godfrey before. However, he did


    not know much at this moment and could only review the suspect list before shaking his head.


    The matter was ced aside for the time being.

    It did not matter who nned to get ast disciple; it had nothing to do with him. What he needed to


    focus on was his fighting prowess. After Jackie returned to his room, he let Nash out for some fresh air


    after he closed the door. At that moment, Jackie had not yet stabilized his position in the Hestia


    Continent. Hence, he did not let all his family out of the Mustard Seed. They could only hide inside and


    focus on training.


    He nned on spending six months to handle these intricate rtionships and find a safe ce so that


    the others cane out of the Mustard Seed’s confined space to explore this area.


    Nash pulled a chair over and started to ask about what happened before he managed to sit down. To


    prevent his father from getting overly worried, Jackie gave him a brief summary of everything he knew.


    Nash sighed softly after he heard what Jackie said.” This is definitely a world that follows thew of the


    jungle, and fights can be seen everywhere. Public morality isn’t what it used to be, so you have to be


    extremely careful.”


    Jackie nodded. He was about to say something tofort his father when Nash continued, “I don’t agree


    with you sharing this with Noel and that runner disciple, Brook. Although they’re your acquaintances, we


    can’t be sure that others won’t inquire about your news through them. If they sell news about you to


    others, won’t others plot against you?”


    Jackie had already thought this through. He also pulled a chair over and sat down before speaking in a


    hushed tone, “To be honest, I didn’t tell them everything, and I only informed them about things they


    need to know. They’d only grow suspicious of me if I don’t say anything. After all, I can only obtain


    information from the two of them. If I didn’t say anything and only asked for information, they’d grow even


    more suspicious of my rtionship with Elder Godfrey. It’s better to make up an excuse and let them


    have that. Apart from that, I don’t think that they’re capable of investigating my rtionship with Elder


    Godfrey.”


    After all, the two of them met at the edges of Mount Beasts. Apart from Jed and the others from


    Thousand Leaves Pavilion, nobody else knew what they experienced there.


    Chapter 2118 Jackie paused before he continued, “Apart from that, I don’t think we’d be able to hide


    such things, and it’s not a big deal even if I tell anyone about it. Would Elder Godfrey help me when I’m


    in trouble? Would I support him and influence the situation in the sect? As an informal disciple, I’m


    unimportant to these high-status people. Naturally, they won’t involve me because of their grudges with


    Elder Godfrey.”


    Nash nodded slightly at that; Jackie did make sense. Despite his ever-present worry-one that had


    dwindled, at least—he changed the topic, not wanting to stick around with the previous topic. ” Didn’t you


    tell me that you saw a corpse after you came out of the Ten Absolutes Trap Array?”


    This instantly reminded Jackie of the corpse he saw. Since they were back in the sect, they were


    considered in a safe area. He had closed the door, and nobody would know what was going on if he took


    the body out at this moment. Jackie performed several runes with his hands, and the Mustard Seed was


    once again opened. He then took the body out of the Mustard Seed and ced it on the table in front of


    him.


    This body was the same height as Jackie, but it was different from the usual corpses they saw. There


    were many hideous, weird-looking runes carved on the white bones. Jackie wondered what these runes


    were for, and who this person was.


    Nash gasped softly, obviously surprised by this body covered in runes. He fell into deep thought before


    he asked, “There aren’t any space rings on this body?”


    The space ring was the mostmon storage item In the Hestia Continent, and great masters usually


    would have one for themselves. However, the space ring would also fall apart due to the instability of its


    internal structure as time went on, and there was not any support from a person’s true energy.


    However, this body did not look like amoner, and he might even be a master from outside the Hestia


    Continent. If that was the case, his space ring should be at a much higher levelpared to normal


    masters, and the internal space should not have fallen apart, even though many years have passed.


    Jackie shook his head. From the moment he saw this body, he had been subconsciously looking for the


    space ring on the body. However, only the Scattered Soul Crystals on the floor were seen apart from the


    green clothes this person had on,


    Nash could not help butment, “There isn’t any space ring? That’s weird. There might be one, but


    somebody might’ve taken it away.”


    After all, every master would have a space ring with them unless the space ring had fallen apart as time


    passed by. However, there would still be a hint of its existence, such as fragments of the broken ring,


    even though the space had fallen apart and it could no longer be used. However, Nash was even more


    puzzled when he heard from Jackie that not a hint of its existence could be seen.


    Jackie slightly waved his hand. “Let’s not dwell in this; let’s move on. On top of that, the appearance of


    this body outside the Ten Absolutes Trap Array is a questionable matter. Since we don’t know what


    happened, we shouldn’t think about it right now.”


    Nash nodded and said helplessly, “The value of this body is only the runes carved on the bones. Still, do


    you understand it?”


    Jackie shook his head instantly. “Although the great master left me many precious memories, I’m still


    unable to understand these runes.”


    Nash smiled bitterly and remarked, “Then, this body is useless to us right now. We might be able to


    unlock this secret in the future, but right now.”


    Jackie waved his hand and interrupted his father before Nash managed to finish. He then stretched out


    his hand to point at the right hand of this corpse.


    The corpse’s right hand was curled into a tight fist. Surprisingly, the knuckles on this corpse’s right hand


    were thick and huge for unknown reasons two to three times thicker than the bones of a normal person’s


    fingers. They were so thick that Jackie could not see what this person held so tightly in his hands,


    despite zoning in.


    Chapter 2119 Nash frowned and also focused on the corpse’s right hand. He even raised the corpse’s


    right skeletal hand, and he could only see from the side that the right hand was holding onto a


    transparent crystal.


    However, they had no idea what this transparent crystal was.


    The father-son duo exchanged nces and reached out toward the deceased’s right hand, trying to pry


    off the fingers. They initially thought they would have to struggle in opening the fist, seeing how tightly


    balled it was, but both Jackie and Nash heard something cracking. It sounded like a mechanism had


    been activated when they gave it a try.


    Startled, both men released the right skeletal hand. The hand fell on the table with a thud, and the tightly


    closed knuckles opened up,ying t on the table. The crystal the hand was holding onto so tightly also


    appeared in front of Jackie and Nash.


    This was a transparent crystal the size of a palm, and it encased a sort of glowing red liquid inside. The


    red liquid immediately attracted Jackie’s attention. He focused on the red liquid and noticed that the


    liquid seemed to be somewhat alive. The liquid was rushing around in the crystal and seemed to


    vehemently try and break free from the crystal’s restrictions. On top of that, there were several words


    carved on the crystal.


    Jackie frowned and subconsciously caressed his chin a s he said, “It’s some runes or spells again.”


    Unexpectedly, Jackie perked up and said, “These aren’t runes nor spells; this is a kind of text.”


    Nash immediately looked at Jackie in surprise. “How do you know that this is a kind of text? Do you


    recognize it?”


    Jackie nodded, and all sorts of emotions shed through his eyes. He sighed softly before pointing at the


    words and said, “This is a text only found in the Divine Void World. As a first-grade world, the Divine Void


    World has its own civilization. Hence, thenguage and texts they use are different from ours. The words


    carved on the crystal are from the Divine Void World, and it roughly means that the red liquid in the


    crystal is a drop of blood from the Ancient Eclipse Dragon!”


    Nash’s eyes widened in surprise. “This is dragon’s blood?”


    Jackie nodded with a serious expression on his face.” This is dragon’s blood, no doubt. However, it isn’t


    The blood of a pure-breed dragon, but a branch of the dragon n, the Ancient Eclipse Dragon.


    Regardless, this is the blood of a mythical beast!” dered Jackie, his voice seemingly quivering when


    he spoke.


    Among the memories that the great master left him, there was an introduction of the dragon n. The


    dragon n was a huge race, and only pure-breeds were extremely strong. Some of the pure breeds


    even had strengthparable to the Divine Void World’s head of ns. The Ancient Eclipse Dragon


    could not be considered as pure breeds, but they inherited 90percent of the dragon n’s blood. They


    were considered a stronger branch among the dragon n and could be addressed as mythical beasts.


    The blood of monster beasts with a high fighting prowess was considered valuable as they could


    increase a person’s strength and potential after absorption, let alone the blood of mythical beasts. A


    mythical beast’s blood not only contained a huge amount of true energy, but it also contained the beast’s


    talents and skills. Every mythical beast had their exclusive talents and skills. He remembered that the


    Ancient Eclipse Dragon’s talents and skills were its control in thews of space.


    Chapter 2120


    Thinking of this, Jackie remarked, “If I’m able to absorb this drop of heavenly blood, I’ll be able to


    improve my Divine Void Heavenly Path!”


    The martial art technique that Jackie practiced was the Divine Void Heavenly Path, and it was all about


    control over thews of space. This drop of blood from the Ancient Eclipse Dragon contained the talents


    and skills of the beast’s control over thews of space. If he could absorb this drop of blood, his control


    over thews of space would be improved!


    Amid Jackie’s excitement, Nash suddenly chimed in,” Don’t you think that this is rather strange?”


    Jackie raised his brows and looked at Nash, confused. Nash sighed softly before he exined, “The first


    item was the Scattered Soul Crystals, and now it’s the blood of the Ancient Eclipse Dragon that


    contained thews of space. It feels like these two items were purposely prepared for you, and you just


    so happened to need them. Don’t you think that this is too coincidental?”


    A look shed past Jackie’s eyes, and he slightly nodded. It did seem coincidental, but this was not the


    coincidence Nash was talking about. He pointed to the words on the crystal. “I don’t think that this is what


    you think it is. Since the texts carved on this crystal are words only used in the Divine Void World, then


    this person might’vee from that world. The martial art technique and martial skill I practicee


    from the Divine Void World. If that’s the case, I’m from the same n as this person. It doesn’t seem like


    a coincidence that he has things that I need.”


    Nash smiled bitterly and said, “How could I have forgotten about this? Since the words carved on the


    crystal are only used in the Divine Void World, this person must be somehow connected to that ce. If


    that’s the case, this isn’t a coincidence, then. Does this also mean that the Ten Absolutes Trap Array


    under the Cliff of Sorrow also has some sort of connection with the Divine Void World?”


    Jackie thought about it for some time and replied,” I’m not sure about that. However, I think that there


    must be a reason why this body appeared outside the Ten Absolutes Trap Array. If they’re connected


    after all, it’s definitely a huge mystery. I just wonder if this has anything to do with the great disaster that


    landed the Divine Void World…”


    Nash stretched out his hand and ced the crystal containing the blood of the Ancient Eclipse Dragon


    into Jackie’s hands. “You can look into these thingster, when you’ve grown stronger. Right now, you


    should focus on increasing your abilities.”


    Jackie frowned as he tightened his grasp on the crystal in his palm and nodded. At this moment, a


    sudden knock appeared outside the door, apanied by urgent-sounding voices.


    “Senior Brother Jackie, are you there?” It was Brook.


    Following that, Noel’s voice could also be hearding from outside the door, “Where else can he be?


    Nowadays, he either stays in this small room of his or visits the Soul Hall. Since we didn’t see him at


    other ces, he’s definitely inside. What’s he doing, though?”


    Jackie chuckled as he stored the body and Nash back into the Mustard Seed. After he did that, he tidied


    the slightly scattered table before he opened the door.” What happened?”


    Noel gestured with his chin. “Let’s talk inside.”


    Jackie also understood that it was not convenient for them to talk in the open. He stepped aside and let


    both of them into his room. They had obviously familiarize themselves with Jackie’s room as they poured


    themselves some tea and sat down on the chairs in the room.


    It was only after he sipped his tea that Noel began,” The situation is getting messed up outside, and


    you’re still rxing in your room.”


    His words caught Jackie’s attention. “What’s going on outside? Did somebody expose the matter


    regarding the Corpse Pavilion, and we’re asked to join the battlefield?”
