chapter 2181-2190
Chapter 2181
Jackie’s expression darkened when he heard Elder Godfrey’s exnation. “Does this mean that this
Secret ce for Resources wees the entry of us outsiders? Is it possible that the ce was left
behind by some ancient master, and he did this in search of his inheritor?”
Elder Godfrey nodded. “I highly rmend that you go into the ce because my deduction is that the
Secret ce for Resources is an inheritance left behind by an ancient master.”
Jackie exhaled deeply. Elder Godfrey raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t give
yourself too much pressure. If you run into danger, remember that your safety is more important, and you
shouldn’t act impulsively.”
After he said this, Elder Godfrey touched the Tortoise Ring on his left hand with his right hand. Jackie
only saw a sh of ck light before a token the size of his palm appeared in Elder Godfrey’s hand. The
token was of a weird shape, and it was filled with engravings of all kinds of iprehensible runes and
spells. There was even a faint sh of red colored light in it.
Elder Godfrey looked at the entry token for some time before cing it in Jackie’s hands after sighing
softly. “You can enter the Secret ce for Resources through the space caves at any time with this
token.”
Jackie nodded and tightened his grasp on the entry token.

Elder Godfrey nced at Jackie and added, “I don’t rmend others traveling with you, and you have
to turn down anyone searching for you. I think that you should enter the secret ce on your own. Even
If you entered the space cave withpany, you’d be separated by the chaotic space and be sent to
different areas in the secret ce. Hence, it’s useless to travel with others. Thepanionship will only
be helpful if you meet other people in the secret ce and form them there.”
They would be separated and be sent to other ces when traveling into the Secret ce for Resources
through the space caves. If that was the case, it really did not make much sense to travel with others.
Only the people he met in the secret ce could be regarded as hispanions.
Elder Godfrey picked up the teapot and poured tea for them both. “The human heart has been
unpredictable since ancient times. We can’t simply trust anyone, even if they’re our sect brothers. When
you encounter something valuable, your rtionship will be as brittle as window paper, and a mere
breeze will tear it apart. He’ll instantly turn into your enemy.”
Jackie nodded and said, “I understand what you mean. Don’t worry- I didn’t n to travel with others.”

Two dayster, Jackie finally arrived at his destination after being transported several times by the
transporter. It was a plot of desertnd in the north west direction of the West Cercei State, which was
the only desert in the entire state. Unexpectedly, the Secret ce for Resources was hidden in this piece
of desert, and the sun high in the sky scorched thend.
Jackie walked across the desert with Nash by his side. After all, they were outside the Dual Sovereign
Pavilion, and there were not that many scruples.
Nash knew that after what happened these couple of days, the remaining journey was still worrisome. He
sighed helplessly. “Forgive my nags, but I think that this journey to the Secret ce for Resources might
be challenging, and you need to be incredibly careful.”
Jackie chuckled and said, “I’m sure that a lot will happen, and I’m not taking this trip like a walk in the
park. I’m going on a treasure hunt, and since we’re on a treasure hunt, we’ll definitely be fighting with
others over precious treasures.”
Chapter 2182
“A terrible battle might happen by then, and the people from the Corpse Pavilion will also be involved.
The environment will be extremely terrible when we go in.”
Nash grew increasingly worried when he heard this. He stopped walking and stretched out his hand to
tug at Jackie’s arm. “If that’s the case, why do you want to go in? You might run into all sorts of danger
after you go in. Aren’t you afraid? You’re not the strongest…”
“I’m definitely afraid, but I can’t stop here just because of my fear. Martial arts is a journey of going
against nature to change our lives. If we don’t go against nature and move forward, we’ll only be
mediocre.”
Nash could only sigh helplessly when he heard this. He said nothing and continued following behind
Jackie as they headed toward the Secret ce for Resources. Jackie took the map out for reference for
every 50 meters they traveled. Elder Godfrey personally drew this map for Jackie, and it was to provide
guidance to Jackie on the position of the Secret ce for Resources.
Jackie looked at the map in detail, and after some time, he remarked, “We’re correct; this should be the
ce…but why does it seem socking? All I see here is sand.”

Nash also moved closer and looked on the map, even though he did not understand the map. At this
moment, an obvious mocking sneer could be heard from behind them.
Jackie was startled at this and turned to look back…to see a familiar face.
“Griffin?”
Jackie had never imagined that he would bump into Griffin in this ce. After all, nobody apart from
Elder Godfrey knew that he hade out from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, and he should not have run
into Griffin. There was another man beside Griffin, and they had simr facial features.
The name ‘Howard Olsen’ subconsciously appeared in Jackie’s thoughts after he saw this person. Was
this Howard? However, Elder Godfrey had informed him previously that there are only 20 tokens, and
after he took up one of the spots, only the top six formal disciples would be chosen. It had nothing to do
with Howard.
Griffin scoffed indignantly and walked two steps forward. He sized Jackie up with a mocking look in his
eyes. “Who would’ve expected for us to have such a great fate? I never expected to meet you here.”
Jackie frowned as shock overwhelmed him. Truth be told, the surprise did note just because he
bumped into Griffin and his brother here; it was because he failed to notice anybody around him and did
not even pick up the sound of footsteps. It seemed like the Olsen brothers suddenly appeared behind his
back, which creeped out Jackie.
However, Griffin failed to realize what Jackie was thinking of.
He nced at Nash, who stood behind Jackie. “Who’s this? He’s only in the final stage of the acquired
level. Is he your errand man? If that’s the case, this will be even mode hrious. Are you unable to take
care of yourself? Why do you need to bring an errand man with you to such a ce?”
Jackie’s anger exploded when he heard this. Jackie could still hold himself back if they were just jabbing
at himself, but what Griffin said was aimed at Nash.
Jackie narrowed his eyes and pulled Nash behind him. “You better watch what you’re saying; stop saying
everything thates to mind like that. What does what I do have to do with you? Keep your nose out of
my business. If you have that much time in your hands, help someone walk their dog, and don’te
barking by my ears.”
Although Jackie’s words were nowhere vulgar, they were bluntly rebuking Griffin.
Griffin’s face blushed a crimson color as he had never experienced such treatment. He stretched out his
right hand, and his sword was unleashed from its sheath audibly. The silver sword shone brightly under
the sun. Griffin held the sword with his right hand and pointed it at Jackie’s face.
Chapter 2183
Jackie, however, merely smirked, nowhere scared or intimidated
“B*stard!” roared Griffin. “How dare you disrespect me! I’m going to kill you!”
With that, Griffin activated his true energy and was about to attack Jackie when Howard, who stood
behind Griffin, grabbed his brother’s shoulder when he noticed Griffin was about to attack. “Brother, this
isn’t the time to fight! No matter what, we’re disciples from the same sect, and we’re surrounded by
space caves. If the space around us is disrupted, a person might suddenly appear out of nowhere. By
then, news of what happened to this guy might spread. I’m sure you know the rules of our sect: you’ll be
punished if he dies or is badly wounded by your hand.”
The Dual Sovereign Pavilion forbade their disciples from killing one another at ces outside of their
sect
Griffin’s face was slightly pale as he stared at Jackie. The muscles on his face slightly trembled. “Don’t
get too cocky, b*stard. I may not be able to kill you now, but this doesn’t mean that your luck will stay up
after leaving the secret ce! On top of that, I’m not the only one who wants to kill you. You’ve offended
so many people, and you may just perish before I can do anything to you!”
The sword in Griffin’s hands once again returned to the sheath with a wave of his sleeve. He sneered
and looked around before moving his hands, activating his true energy and punching the space before
him.
Ripples appeared in the space in front of him. A sh of happiness shed past Griffin’s eyes as he
walked toward the area where the ripples were most apparent. Griffin took out his entry token and
pushed it forward.
The entry token looked like it had been dropped into water as it was swallowed by the space in front of
him.
The next moment, a bright light shone over Griffin and he disappeared in front of them. Howard seemed
unsurprised by what happened.
He turned to look at Jackie. “Are you wondering why I’m here, even though there aren’t any spots left for
me?”
Jackie pursed his lips speechlessly. He was definitely curious, but the thought had just shed past his
mind and he did not wish to get to the bottom of it. However, Howard spoke as if Jackie was extremely
eager to find out what was going on.
Jackie scoffed and did not even spare a nce at Howard, yet Howard could tell Jackie was all too
curious of the reason. He thus smirked and turned to face Jackie. “Our family has certain power in the
Dual Sovereign Pavilion, and it isn’t difficult for me to obtain a spot as long as I want it. My brother tried
to preserve your prestige by asking you to give up the spot, yet you turned us down… You truly can’t
differentiate good from bad.”
With that, Howard took his entry token before Jackie managed to say anything. He let the entry token
combine with the space caves before the light also covered his entire body. He, just like Griffin,
disappeared into the space cave and entered the Secret ce for Resources.
The corners of Jackie’s mouth twitched speechlessly. Both the brothers of the Olsen family had the same
temperament. They were entric and unreasonable.
Chapter 2184 What Howard had said implied that they had shown him some respect by asking him to
give up the spot, yet Jackie failed to recognize their kindness by refusing
Jackie could not help but sneer. Some of these people were painfully peculiar, and they were always
capable ofing up with some presumptuous reasons. Jackie only felt that they were ridiculous.
Nash’s expression darkened. “Why are these two people so despicable? What on earth are they talking
about? Why should you give the spot to him? And you’re being unreasonable for not doing so? Who
does he think he is?”
“He thinks that he’s a god and can step on anybody, but his ns are useless to me,” remarked Jackie
with a cold expression on his face. Nash sighed helplessly and felt that nothing in this ce was going
smoothly. Things were so much simpler when they were in Daxia.
However, Jackie was so focused on pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, and he definitely could not say
anything discouraging.
Nash turned and looked at Jackie with a serious expression on his face. “You have to be careful after you
enter the secret ce. Be on your best guard as those two brothers will surely trouble you there.”
Jackie nodded and looked around him. He sighed helplessly, unable to form his thoughts with what Elder
Godfrey did. The elder reminded him of so many things but had forgotten about the most important
part…
Jackie had no idea on how to enter the space caves, more so had Griffin not disy how to do so just
moments ago.
It turned out that the space around him was filled with space caves. However, one had to stimte the
surrounding space with his true energy to find the middle point of the space caves.
Just moments ago, the Olsen brothers appeared so soundlessly because Jackie was surrounded by
space caves that could block a person’s sight and sound. This was a ce with mountains of uneven
height. Thend was covered with weed, and he raised his head to see a huge tree. However, the
mountains blocked arge area, and he could see no further.
Jackie looked up and was unable to see the sun, but his surroundings were bright like it was noon.
Jackie turned around in ce and got familiar with his surroundings, exhaling deeply upon not sensing
any form of danger.
This was the legendary Secret ce for Resources. With the Mustard Seed as his tool, Jackie was able
to bring everybody in the Mustard Seed into the area, even though he only had one entry token.
Nash continued to stand by Jackie’s side. He looked at the uneven mountains surrounding them and
said, We’re lucky that we weren’t transported to some extremely dangerous area. We’d be terribly
unlucky if so.”
Jackie knelt and simply picked a small piece of weed up efore cing it under his nose to give it a sniff.
He then rubbed the weed in his hands.
Nash chuckled and said helplessly, “Why are you acting like a child when you’re already at this age?”
Jackie chuckled and replied, “I just wanted to check if this world is real.”
Nash could not help but frown when he heard this.” What do you think?”
Jackie flicked the weed away before taking out a piece of tissue to wipe the dirt and green leaves on his
hand. “It should be real. However, I question the authenticity of the area. The feeling is too realistic.”
Nash felt that he was at a loss when he heard what Jackie said. The corners of his mouth twitched
helplessly. He was about to say something when Jackie suddenly grabbed his arm.
Chapter 2185 Nash looked at Jackie with widened eyes.
Jackie frowned as he lowered his voice. “Hurry back into the Mustard Seed. I can feel something
approaching.”
Nash paled when he heard this. He dared not dy and immediately entered the Mustard Seed, leaving
Jackie the only one left standing there.
Jackie frowned as he widened his eyes while scanning his surroundings. It was still the same uneven
mountains and vast skies. After three breaths, the soft footsteps became clear ahead of him.
Jackie looked up and subconsciously inhaled. There was a slightly taller mountain 40 to 50 meters away
from him, and a three-headed wolf stood on the mountain
This three-headed wolf was one-feet-tall and stood on the highest peak of the mountain, casting a
shadow. The three wolf heads appeared to share the same body, and its six eyes stared straight at
Jackie. The corners of Jackie’s mouth twitched as he subconsciously assessed the three-headed wolf’s
fighting prowess…only to fail to determine its fighting prowess in the end.
Jackie was even more at a loss when he realized this.
He had gone through all the ancient scrolls to understand the Hestia Continent, but none of them
described the three-headed wolf. This resulted in Jackie’s bewilderment, and doubt of actually defeating
this beast rose within him.
Jackie inhaled deeply and took ten ck daggers out from the Mustard Seed. The ck daggers floated
in mid-air as Jackie raised his hands. The ck fog covered the ten ck daggers, and they were like
venomous fangs of a viper. 1
The three-headed wolf understood that Jackie was about to attack itself and nced at Jackie from high
above with its six eyes. A hint of disdain shed through the wolf’s eyes, and the corners of Jackie’s
mouth twitched helplessly. Had the three-headed wolf possibly broken through into the spring solidifying
realm?
Why else would the wolf act in such a high and mighty manner? The three-headed wolf slowly prowled
toward Jackie with steady steps. Jackie inhaled deeply as he wanted to test the three-headed wolf’s
fighting prowess. If he was unable to defeat the wolf, he could turn around and escape without turning
back!
Just when he was about to activate Destroying the Void, the sound of something traveling through the
sky suddenly came from far away. A long arrow came shooting from far away with extreme speed. The
arrow was surrounded by a circle of ghostly pale blue mes.
The three-headed wolf looked fierce and disdainful, even as the arrow came flying. All three wolf-heads
opened their mouths at the same time and looked like they were about to perform their strongest attack.
However, the long arrow was too fast, and before the three-headed wolf was capable of releasing its
attack, the arrow covered in blue mes plunged into the middle-head audibly.
The three-headed wolf instantly let out a piercing scream and fell to the ground as it lost its bnce. The
wolf kept rolling around on the floor as if it wanted to try pulling the long arrow stuck in his head out.
“Are you alright, young brother?!” aforting voice came from far away.
Jackie turned around to take a look and saw a man in the costume of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s
formal disciples rushing toward him from afar. Jackie raised his eyebrows and did not put his weapon
away.
Although this person was from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, Jackie could not guarantee if this
individual had ulterior motives. As he came closer, Jackie discovered that he was not alone; there were
three more people following behind him. However, not all three of these men were disciples of the
Thousand Leaves Pavilion. Two of them had on the costume of the Muddled Origin n’s formal
disciples.
Jackie raised his brows in surprise and nodded to the person standing in front.
Chapter 2186 Heath Vay chuckled. “You don’t need to be afraid. This three-headed wolf is only at the
initial stage of innate level and he’s extremely dumb. The wolf thinks that it’s invincible on this hill.”
Jackie rxed when he heard what this person said. In the beginning, he suspected that the three-
headed wolf was in the spring solidifying realm. After all, he was unable to assess the other party’s
fighting prowess if they had a higher fighting prowesspared to him. However, it did not make sense
for him to fail in identifying this three-headed wolf’s fighting prowess if the wolf was only in the initial
stage of innate level.
Heath knew what Jackie was thinking from the expression on his face. A smile appeared as he
exined, “The rules of this world’s heaven and earth are different from that of the outside world. You
can’t use the old way to learn about the monster beast’s fighting prowess, but instead, you need to judge
it by the aura they release.”
Jackie nodded as he was unable topletely understand what the man was talking about. In fact, both
the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciples treated him affectionately but the disciples from the Muddled
Origin n looked at him in a slightly different manner. There was a hint of mockery in their eyes as they
examined him. Jackie was not surprised when the disciples from the Muddled Origin n looked at him
in such a way. After all, the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and the Muddled Origin n had a long history. It
was natural for them to not have a good attitude toward him when they spotted the Dual Sovereign
Pavilion’s costume on him.
After a brief introduction, everybody got to know each other. Among the two disciples from the Thousand
Leaves Pavilion, the one who spoke to him was Heath Vay while the one standing behind was Byron
Reid. As for the disciples from the Muddled Origin n, one of them was Frank Wack and Edric Law.
Those two had an indifferent attitude toward Jackie. Jackie did not respond to their attitude and was
indifferent toward them as well.
Heath chuckled and said while saluting with his hands, “Destiny gathered us here. We are still wandering
among these hills after walking around for more than half a day. However, I received news from the
elders that these mountains aren’t the only thing in the Secret ce for Resources. There are also
continuous mountains and an endless piece of wastnd. If there aren’t anypanions when traveling
in this big piece ofnd, the dangers we face in the secret ce might be life-threatening. Hence, I
propose that we travel together. We shall treat each other sincerely and we will help one another when
danger arises, am I right?”
When they took action to kill the three-headed wolf, Jackie had already guessed that they were here to
form an alliance with him. Jackie frowned but did not immediately reply to Heath. He was used to
traveling alone and he would be restricted if he traveled with others due to the number of secrets he was
keeping.
However, this was an unfamiliar and dangerous ce for Jackie. If he continued traveling alone, he
might run into a dangerous situation that he was unable to resolve. If the five of them traveled together,
their chances of survival would be higher. Jackie nodded earnestly when he thought of this.
However, the Muddled Origin n’s disciple, Frank, had already humphed coldly and started speaking
before Jackie was able to speak. “Young man, what are you hesitating about? We are at the final stage
of innate level and we’re at a disadvantage for bringing you, one who’s at the intermediate stage of
innate level. How dare you hesitate? Do you think that we will cause you trouble?”
In fact, Jackie had only paused for around three breaths and he did not expect Frank to proactively find
fault with him. Jackie nced at Frank and he could see the frown on Frank’s face as he stared at Jackie
in disdain. The expression on his face was using how ungrateful Jackie was.
Jackie sneered. “Everybody has their own concerns and there is nothing between us that can bring us
down.”
Chapter 2187 Frank’s face was slightly darkened when he heard how straightforward Jackie was. “You’re
such a shameless boast. Who did you say will be bringing the other down? How dare you! Why don’t you
open your eyes and take a good look! Look at your fighting prowess and our fighting prowess. Just now,
we only took action because we thought that we would have another member who’s in the final stage of
the innate level. However, we realized that you’re just a young man in the intermediate stage after we
came closer.”
Jackie arched his brow when Frank turned aggressive; he kept making a scene out of Jackie’s fighting
prowess to suppress him. Jackie did not wish to have a dispute with them if these two people had not
provoked him. However, he was unable to withstand It any longer as Frank kept causing him trouble.”
What’s the issue about the intermediate stage and final stage of the innate level? Do you think that you
can walk around and do anything you want because you’re in the final stage of the innate level? To be
honest, your fighting prowess means nothing to me. If you are unconvinced, just have a duel with me
right now.“
Frank, who stood in front of Jackie, was at the same level as Oliver and Jackie really did not pay much
attention to him. However, Frank was furious after he heard what Jackie said. He suddenly rushed
forward and pointed at Jackie’s face. “What an arrogant young man! How dare you challenge me?!
Alright! I shall show you the meaning of suppression from a higher realm!”
He touched his storage ring with his right hand and a three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand. The
sword was red in color and looked like it was burning with endless mes.
Heath immediately rushed forward with a frown on his face and grabbed Frank’s right hand. “Let’s
discuss this nicely and not fight among ourselves. Do you know what time it is right now?! If we really get
into a fight, not only will it hurt our rtionship, we would be suffering losses. Why don’t you guys think
about it? This isn’t our respective sects and this ce is filled with all sorts of danger. We have no idea
when the enemies or strong monster beasts will appear. Hence, we definitely can’t start a fight among
ourselves!”
Frank was so angry that the muscles on his face were slightly trembling. Heath held his right arm so
tightly that he was unable to release his arm. He could only give up his ns of fighting with the young
man in front of him. However, the look in his eyes grew increasingly fierce as he looked at Jackie. He
looked like he was going to chop Jackie into pieces if Heath did not stop him.
Jackie sighed helplessly. He had no idea that he would be provoked by others when he had done
nothing wrong. In fact, there was nothing wrong with how Jackie reacted. Frank took this opportunity to
find fault with him because he had a lower fighting prowess and he was a disciple of the Dual Sovereign
Pavilion.
Jackie sneered when he thought of this. “Senior Brother Heath is correct. This ce is extremely
dangerous and we won’t gain anything if we fight here. However, I’m not frightened if you wish to fight
with me forcefully.”
Frankughed coldly and a mocking look appeared in his eyes. He put away the sword he had in his
hand and pulled his right hand out from Heath’s grip. He waved his sleeves and raised his chin
arrogantly as he said to Jackie, “You have to thank Senior Brother Heath foring forward to speak on
your behalf. If not, what happened today will not end here.”
Jackie did not wish to argue with somebody like him. If he wanted to take action, Jackie would naturally
show him what it meant to carry out challenges from a lower level.
Chapter 2188
Heath turned to Jackie. Heughed dryly to ease the tension. “Don’t mind him, Brother Jackie. He’s a
quick talker, but he means no harm.”
Frank looked unhappy after hearing that, and wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Edric
who was standing beside him. Edric frowned and shook his head discreetly at Frank, indicating to him to
not start a dispute at this time. Frank breathed out deeply, trying to restrain his anger. He averted his
eyes away from Jackie.
Jackie nodded nomittally.
Heath took two steps forward and said again, “You’re one of us now that you’ve agreed to join us.”
His words were both hypocritical and highfalutin. Jackie would not take these words into his heart.
Heath then pointed at the dead three-headed wolf on the ground and said, “Since we’re all team
members now, you’ll need to know some ground rules. Everyone is here to get their hands on some
good items. Although we came here not long ago, we have already discovered some spirited grass and
spirited herb and killed some monster beasts.
“All of these are good stuff. It was hard to equally divide the goods when there were four of us, so I made
a small rule. When ites to spirited grass and spirited herb, whoever saw it first has the im to it.
When ites to monster beasts, the most valuable item will go to the one who made the most attack or
gave the fatal blow. As for other things, we’ll cross the bridge when wee to it.”
Jackie just nodded and said nothing. However, in his heart, he started to analyze Heath. All the things he
had mentioned sounded fair, but all those spirited grass, spirited herb, and the things on the monster
beasts were onlymon items in the Secret ce for Resources. Naturally, they were there to find an
umon master treasure.
ording to legend, that ce was an inheritance left by the ancient masters. Maybe they would find
the inheritance of the ancient masters. When it came to that, how would it be distributed? Jackie was
sure Heath would not be a pushover when it came to the more umon items.
Jackie was no fool; he would not be worthy of being called a human if he did not catch the hidden
meaning behind Heath’s words. The fact that he said that they would all cross the bridge when it came to
the other things meant that he was leaving a way out for himself.
Heath remained smiling amicably, like a fresh breath of air. “This three-headed wolf was in by Brother
Byron. We didn’t do anything so the spirited core and all the other valuable items on the wolf belong to
him.”
After he said that, Byron did not even bother to see what the others were feeling before walking over to
the three-headed wolf corpse. He took out a short de from the storage ring, cut open the wolf’s
abdomen very skillfully, and pulled out a light gray spirited core.
He took a piece of white rag, wiped off the blood on It, and stored the three-headed wolf’s spirited core
into his storage ring in front of everyone. Nobody said a word throughout the whole process. The
amicable smile never left Heath’s face as he swept his eyes across everyone.
Jackie arched his brow and looked at the three-headed wolf’s corpse silently. ‘This wolf would have died
under my hand if these people didn’t show up just now.’ At this thought, heughed bitterly to himself.
“They knew that this wolf is an initial stage of innate level, which is something I can easily y, and yet
they still decided to snatch it from right under my nose. What ground rules? Those are just something
they pulled out to make it so they could im the wolf for themselves!”
Chapter 2189
The way Heath made it sound was as if there was nothing suspicious about what he said, but it did not
take a rocket scientist to figure out something was off with the whole arrangement. It was obvious that
Heath only cared about his sect brothers and not the so-called ‘brother’ like Jackie.
“Hey, why are you looking at the three-headed wolf like that? Are the ground rules not to your liking?
Don’t tell me you think everything rightfully belongs to you!” said Frank provocatively when he saw Jackie
being all silent.
Jackie frowned, and he turned his darkened face toward Frank, who was arching his brow and looking at
him contemptuously. Jackie scoffed, thinking that they must have thought he was a pushover. He was
about to say something when Heath cut in,” Nonsense. Why would you say that when Brother Jackie
didn’t even say anything? Besides, from the very first impression, I can tell that he’s the type that
considers the overall situation. I’m sure he doesn’t have any ill-will toward us. Am I right, Brother
Jackie?”
‘Considers the overall situation? Does that mean that I’ll be deemed unrighteous if my opinion differs
from theirs? Wow, this Heath is quite the maniptor,’ thought Jackie. Then, he chuckled, and said, “I’m
not really one to take the overall situation into consideration. The overall situation is quite reasonable so I
don’t mind going along with it. However, I do wonder why you thought that I was unhappy with the
ground rules when I didn’t say anything or showed any unhappiness on my face.”
Thest sentence was, of course, directed at Frank. He narrowed his eyes and stuck out his neck like a
cock ready for a fight. “Did you think that I didn’t see the look on your face just now? What do you take
me for? A fool? You should be grateful that we’re willing to let an innate stage level kid like you join our
team! I can’t believe after all that, you dare to look at the wolf like that.”
“Like what?” The lines on Jackie’s forehead got deeper and deeper. He had decided then and there that
he would teach Frank a lesson if he did not give I tup.
“It was obvious from the look in your eyes that you want to im the three-headed wolf for yourself. I’m
really curious to know what the elders in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion are thinking. Why would they let an
intermediate stage of an innate level kid like you enter when the quota is limited to twenty people? Could
it be that the Dual Sovereign Pavilion has fallen so far that theyck a strong final stage of innate level
disciples, so they had to use a kid like you to make up the numbers?”
Frank roared withughter with unconcealed disdain after saying all that. This was the straw that broke
the camel’s back. Jackie stepped forward and took out the ck daggers from the Mustard Seed Spirit
Ship.
Heath frowned and looked at Frank unhappily. He quickly walked up to him and pulled his shoulder.” Are
you done? Brother Jackie didn’t say anything at all, so just shut up, okay? And you shouldn’t judge
others by their cultivation level. You should know that masters could challenge those above their level.”

Chapter 2190
Frank arched his brow, and said nonchntly, “Each one of us here in the Secret ce for Resources is
a master.”
Heath furrowed his brow, and was about to say something else but was stopped by Edric. He turned
around and said, “Brother Frank, please just stop there. Don’t forget we’re all a team and should have
each other’s backs. I strongly suggest that you watch what you say from now on or else…I won’t help
you with the thing that you want.”
Edric’sst sentence was filled with hidden implications. Frank pursed his lips, and unwillingly dropped
down his head, and said, “Okay, Brother Edric.”
Edric heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Frank’s acquiescence. “I know you hold a very deep grudge
against the Dual Sovereign Pavilion but you shouldn’t take it out on every Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s
disciples that you meet.”
‘Ah, the grudge between him and the Dual Sovereign Pavilion exins why he was acting so offensively
toward me. But he should take it out on the sect, not me or the other disciples.’ Thought Jackie. He made
a mental note to himself to make Frank pay for all the things he said some other days.
They soon set eastward after Heath said a few more perfunctory things. It was their first time in the
Secret ce for Resources so they were not familiar with the environment. The only thing they could do
was to choose a direction and continue on that path with perseverance.
The hill was bigger than they imagined. After walking for two or three hours, they still could not see the
edge. The rolling hills blocked most of their sight. Just to be on the safe side, they decided to go by foot
instead of air and became exhausted after walking for so long
Jackie thought that it was nothing, but Frank started toin. “Going on foot takes too long, and it

Heath nced sideways at Frank, and said, “No. Have you forgotten what happened when we tried to go

Frank curled his lips in disapproval, and said in a low voice, “We were caught off guard before. We’ll just
need to be more vignt this time. Besides, it’s not like there will be so many dangers for us to run into.”
Heath frowned unhappily when he heard that. He was already a little annoyed by his non-stop talking,
but still managed to squash down his frustration after reminding himself they were all in this together, and

Everyone climbed to the highest point of the hill, Looking in the direction of Edric’s finger, they saw a
huge monster beast lying curled up on the ground at a distance of about 400 yards from them. However,
they were too far away to identify what kind of monster beast it was. “Let’s go check it out!” said Byron
excitedly.
