Female Novel
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 lipstwisted into a helpless, envious smile. “We informal disciples can only observe the scene; chances likethese won’t ever happen to us. Still, I feel that everybody can be Elder Eleven’s final disciple, apart fromOliver.”
After having said this, Noel stared at Jackie for a considerable time, and Jackie understood what hemeant. As Wesley’s full brother, Oliver would definitely hate Jackie, seeing as deep grievances ranbetween him and Wesley. Jackie might be the first person he would go after the moment he achievedgreat feats.
Jackie chuckled and said, “I believe that Elder Godfrey is a wise person. He won’t be somebody else’spawn 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’seyes lit up as he sipped his tea, pretending that he did not care. “You have a point there, but there aren’tany guarantees that something won’t go wrong. It’s best to be prepared so that we won’t beoverwhelmed by then.”
Jackie nodded. He knew that Noel was reminding him that they should be prepared for trouble, seeing ashe had a massive conflict with Wesley before. However, Jackie was not afraid. After all, he was notuseless, and this pressure would become his motivation
Noel was stunned when noticed how Jackie’s expression did not falter, even after he had mentioned theconcerns. “You have quite an impressive mentality.”

Jackie raised his brows. “This has nothing to do with my mentality. Even if I worry about such mattersevery day, I can’t stop whatever that’s going to happen. If so, why don’t I focus my attention on trainingand 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, themore 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 a commonperson.
Still, he understood that it was unfair to compare two people, so he changed the subject of theconversation back to how Elder Eleven was recruiting an elder disciple
He sighed softly and said in a relaxed manner, “Elder Eleven mentioned that his disciple has to be ableto satisfy all his requirements.”

Zayn was slightly puzzled and asked, “What does he mean, satisfying all his requirements? Iremembered 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 voiceout their intentions straightforwardly. Instead, the disciples would need to guess the hidden agendabehind their words. The intention behind what he said is quite clear. Doesn’t satisfying all hisrequirements mean that this person has to be excellent in everything? Elder Godfrey has to be satisfiedwith this person’s talents, temperament, and looks!
Zayn’s expression visibly shifted, showing his realization. His frown slowly disappeared as he smackedhis thigh. “So that’s what it is. I thought that Elder Eleven’s requirement is for his disciple to flatter him. Ifthat’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 lookat Zayn.
Chapter 2117 “Which of the elders do you think will accept disciples who are good at flattery? There are tons ofdisciples who like to flatter the elders, so is there a need to accept them as elder disciples? If he likes tolisten to flattering words that much, I can instantly give up my position here and wait for him at his doorevery day to tell him a hundred flattering 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 thatElder Godfrey had his own plans for suddenly announcing his intention of getting his last disciple at thismoment. He did not believe that Elder Godfrey was able to forget his near-death experience at MountBeasts.
People at Elder Godfrey’s position were extremely hateful of injustice and they would not repaygrievances with virtue. It was possible that he had other intentions, too. As Jackie’s thoughts migrated tothis issue, he started to speculate about the person who framed Elder Godfrey before. However, he didnot know much at this moment and could only review the suspect list before shaking his head.
The matter was placed aside for the time being.

It did not matter who planned to get a last disciple; it had nothing to do with him. What he needed tofocus 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 HestiaContinent. Hence, he did not let all his family out of the Mustard Seed. They could only hide inside andfocus on training.
He planned on spending six months to handle these intricate relationships and find a safe place so thatthe others can come 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. Toprevent 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 the law of thejungle, and fights can be seen everywhere. Public morality isn’t what it used to be, so you have to beextremely careful.”
Jackie nodded. He was about to say something to comfort his father when Nash continued, “I don’t agreewith you sharing this with Noel and that runner disciple, Brook. Although they’re your acquaintances, wecan’t be sure that others won’t inquire about your news through them. If they sell news about you toothers, won’t others plot against you?”
Jackie had already thought this through. He also pulled a chair over and sat down before speaking in ahushed tone, “To be honest, I didn’t tell them everything, and I only informed them about things theyneed to know. They’d only grow suspicious of me if I don’t say anything. After all, I can only obtaininformation from the two of them. If I didn’t say anything and only asked for information, they’d grow evenmore suspicious of my relationship with Elder Godfrey. It’s better to make up an excuse and let themhave that. Apart from that, I don’t think that they’re capable of investigating my relationship with ElderGodfrey.”
After all, the two of them met at the edges of Mount Beasts. Apart from Jed and the others fromThousand 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 hidesuch things, and it’s not a big deal even if I tell anyone about it. Would Elder Godfrey help me when I’min trouble? Would I support him and influence the situation in the sect? As an informal disciple, I’munimportant to these high-status people. Naturally, they won’t involve me because of their grudges withElder Godfrey.”
Nash nodded slightly at that; Jackie did make sense. Despite his ever-present worry-one that haddwindled, at least—he changed the topic, not wanting to stick around with the previous topic. ” Didn’t youtell 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 wereconsidered in a safe area. He had closed the door, and nobody would know what was going on if he tookthe body out at this moment. Jackie performed several runes with his hands, and the Mustard Seed wasonce again opened. He then took the body out of the Mustard Seed and placed it on the table in front ofhim.
This body was the same height as Jackie, but it was different from the usual corpses they saw. Therewere many hideous, weird-looking runes carved on the white bones. Jackie wondered what these runeswere for, and who this person was.
Nash gasped softly, obviously surprised by this body covered in runes. He fell into deep thought beforehe asked, “There aren’t any space rings on this body?”
The space ring was the most common storage item In the Hestia Continent, and great masters usuallywould have one for themselves. However, the space ring would also fall apart due to the instability of itsinternal structure as time went on, and there was not any support from a person’s true energy.
However, this body did not look like a commoner, and he might even be a master from outside the HestiaContinent. If that was the case, his space ring should be at a much higher level compared to normalmasters, 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 thespace ring on the body. However, only the Scattered Soul Crystals on the floor were seen apart from thegreen clothes this person had on,
Nash could not help but lament, “There isn’t any space ring? That’s weird. There might be one, butsomebody might’ve taken it away.”
After all, every master would have a space ring with them unless the space ring had fallen apart as timepassed 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 morepuzzled 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 ofthis body outside the Ten Absolutes Trap Array is a questionable matter. Since we don’t know whathappened, 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, doyou understand it?”
Jackie shook his head instantly. “Although the great master left me many precious memories, I’m stillunable to understand these runes.”
Nash smiled bitterly and remarked, “Then, this body is useless to us right now. We might be able tounlock this secret in the future, but right now.”
Jackie waved his hand and interrupted his father before Nash managed to finish. He then stretched outhis 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 handwere 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’sright skeletal hand, and he could only see from the side that the right hand was holding onto atransparent crystal.
However, they had no idea what this transparent crystal was.
The father-son duo exchanged glances and reached out toward the deceased’s right hand, trying to pryoff the fingers. They initially thought they would have to struggle in opening the fist, seeing how tightlyballed it was, but both Jackie and Nash heard something cracking. It sounded like a mechanism hadbeen 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 tightlyclosed knuckles opened up, laying flat on the table. The crystal the hand was holding onto so tightly alsoappeared 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. Thered liquid immediately attracted Jackie’s attention. He focused on the red liquid and noticed that theliquid seemed to be somewhat alive. The liquid was rushing around in the crystal and seemed tovehemently try and break free from the crystal’s restrictions. On top of that, there were several wordscarved 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 yourecognize it?”
Jackie nodded, and all sorts of emotions flashed through his eyes. He sighed softly before pointing at thewords and said, “This is a text only found in the Divine Void World. As a first-grade world, the Divine VoidWorld has its own civilization. Hence, the language and texts they use are different from ours. The wordscarved on the crystal are from the Divine Void World, and it roughly means that the red liquid in thecrystal 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’tThe blood of a pure-breed dragon, but a branch of the dragon clan, the Ancient Eclipse Dragon.Regardless, this is the blood of a mythical beast!” declared Jackie, his voice seemingly quivering whenhe spoke.
Among the memories that the great master left him, there was an introduction of the dragon clan. Thedragon clan was a huge race, and only pure-breeds were extremely strong. Some of the pure breedseven had strength comparable to the Divine Void World’s head of clans. The Ancient Eclipse Dragoncould not be considered as pure breeds, but they inherited 90percent of the dragon clan’s blood. Theywere considered a stronger branch among the dragon clan and could be addressed as mythical beasts.
The blood of monster beasts with a high fighting prowess was considered valuable as they couldincrease a person’s strength and potential after absorption, let alone the blood of mythical beasts. Amythical beast’s blood not only contained a huge amount of true energy, but it also contained the beast’stalents and skills. Every mythical beast had their exclusive talents and skills. He remembered that theAncient Eclipse Dragon’s talents and skills were its control in the laws of space.
Chapter 2120 Thinking of this, Jackie remarked, “If I’m able to absorb this drop of heavenly blood, I’ll be able toimprove my Divine Void Heavenly Path!”
The martial art technique that Jackie practiced was the Divine Void Heavenly Path, and it was all aboutcontrol over the laws of space. This drop of blood from the Ancient Eclipse Dragon contained the talentsand skills of the beast’s control over the laws of space. If he could absorb this drop of blood, his controlover the laws 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 explained, “The firstitem was the Scattered Soul Crystals, and now it’s the blood of the Ancient Eclipse Dragon thatcontained the laws of space. It feels like these two items were purposely prepared for you, and you justso happened to need them. Don’t you think that this is too coincidental?”
A look flashed past Jackie’s eyes, and he slightly nodded. It did seem coincidental, but this was not thecoincidence Nash was talking about. He pointed to the words on the crystal. “I don’t think that this is whatyou think it is. Since the texts carved on this crystal are words only used in the Divine Void World, thenthis person might’ve come from that world. The martial art technique and martial skill I practice comefrom the Divine Void World. If that’s the case, I’m from the same clan as this person. It doesn’t seem likea 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 thecrystal are only used in the Divine Void World, this person must be somehow connected to that place. Ifthat’s the case, this isn’t a coincidence, then. Does this also mean that the Ten Absolutes Trap Arrayunder 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 theremust be a reason why this body appeared outside the Ten Absolutes Trap Array. If they’re connectedafter all, it’s definitely a huge mystery. I just wonder if this has anything to do with the great disaster thatlanded the Divine Void World…”
Nash stretched out his hand and placed the crystal containing the blood of the Ancient Eclipse Dragoninto Jackie’s hands. “You can look into these things later, when you’ve grown stronger. Right now, youshould focus on increasing your abilities.”
Jackie frowned as he tightened his grasp on the crystal in his palm and nodded. At this moment, asudden knock appeared outside the door, accompanied by urgent-sounding voices.
“Senior Brother Jackie, are you there?” It was Brook.
Following that, Noel’s voice could also be heard coming 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 atother places, 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 tidiedthe 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 letboth of them into his room. They had obviously familiarize themselves with Jackie’s room as they pouredthemselves some tea and sat down on the chairs in the room.novelbin
It was only after he sipped his tea that Noel began,” The situation is getting messed up outside, andyou’re still relaxing in your room.”
His words caught Jackie’s attention. “What’s going on outside? Did somebody expose the matterregarding the Corpse Pavilion, and we’re asked to join the battlefield?”
