Chapter 1811


    “Secondly, the power of desire.


    “What is desire?


    “Sky desires to be the greatest in the world. It’s a powerful obsession. When his desire


    reached the pinnacle, he made a breakthrough into the ninth rank after consuming the power of the


    Dragon Essence. The same goes for your grandfather, Thomas. His ambition is equally great.


    Besides, he’s shrewd and cunning. However, even with the aid of the Dragon Essence, he only


    managed to be a Half-Saint. Human desire is terrifying.”


    After he spoke, he looked at James and said smilingly, “A man free of ambition like you is incapable


    of using this method. Hence, only the power of nature remains.”


    “Huh?” James asked in confusion, “What is the power of nature?”


    “This requires some exnation.” Langston exined, “The power of nature is magical. It is the


    power of heaven and earth. Your mind must be cleared of impurities, and your heart must be


    cleansed of all desires. Absorb the power of nature and change your body structure and physical


    capabilities. The human body is like a huge water tank, whereas True Energy is like water. Once


    you reach the peak of the Ninth Stair, you can no longer increase True Energy due to a limited


    capacity. The power of nature, on the other hand, is capable of changing one’s body structure.


    Think of it as expanding the capacity of the water tank. When your True Energy attains a certain


    strength, you can use True Energy to make a breakthrough.”


    After he said that, he sighed.


    “Back then, I tried gaining insight into the power of nature as well. However, despite decades of


    futile effort, I couldn’tprehend anything. In the end, I only managed to cross into the ninth rank


    by entering King Quavon’s Mausoleum and obtaining the remaining phoenix blood.”


    Langston tried exining the power of nature to James.


    James had experienced this. The power of nature, also known as Spiritual Energy, can change


    one’s body structure and physical capabilities, thereby increasing one’s True Energy.


    After hearing Langston’s exnation, James understood that the path he walked was the right one.


    However, he now had more questions on his mind.

    “Langston, you said you obtained the phoenix blood in King Quavon’s Mausoleum. If that’s the


    case, why didn’t King Quavon consume it but instead bury it in his mausoleum more than two


    thousand years ago?”


    “I…”


    Langston’s expression turned grim.


    “I don’t know. However, after looking through the ancient text, I learned that something great


    happened two millenniums ago. It seemed that some powerful force prevented King Quavon from


    doing so.”


    “A powerful force?” James froze before asking, “Who?”


    Langston shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. If you’re interested to know, you can ask the


    Omniscient Deity more about the subject. Since he’s lived longer than me, he should be more


    knowledgeable.


    Hearing this, James sped his hands and said, “Thank you, Langston.”


    Langston looked at him and asked, “What is your current strength? Have you gained insight into the


    power of nature?”


    A slight smile crept up on James’ face. Seeing this, Langston understood immediately.


    Then, James left alongside Thea.


    “Father.” Tyrus looked at Langston.


    Langston said with a smile, “He’s young, but he managed to gain great insight into the power of


    nature. I believe it’s only a matter of time before he crosses into the ninth rank. His path is the


    proper one. Everyone else, including me, took a back-door route. Even though we crossed into the


    ninth rank, we spent a lot of time searching for the right path. However, James managed to find it


    even before he crossed into the ninth rank.”


    “Indeed…” Tyrus sighed. “He’s a brilliant man. All these years, I watched him grow from an innocent


    young man into an experiencedmander-in-chief. His heart is magnanimous, and his mind is


    open and broad. Perhaps only a man like him can gain insight into the true path of cultivation.”


    “Mhm.” Langston nodded and said, “However, I wonder how the Omniscient Deity crossed into the


    ninth rank. Although I’ve heard about him even a millennium ago, I know nothing about his strength


    since I’ve never fought against him in battle. This is the perfect opportunity to witness his true


    strength.”
