Female Novel
Chapter 1208
“Ninth-rank is the pinnacle of martial art strength. However, it’s nigh impossible to make a breakthrough
into the ninth rank. With what limited lifespan humans have, it’s impossible to climb the Skyward
Stairway. The Skyward Stairway of the ninth rank has never been reached by any human being.
“Only by achieving immortality can one climb the Skyward Stairway and reach the ninth rank.
“The Spirit Turtle has lived for many years. Once I kill it and drink its blood, I will achieve immortality
and obtain enormous strength.”
The more Thomas spoke, the more agitated he was.
“Once I have an unlimited lifespan, I can establish a new dynasty.”
“You’re insane!” Simon cried out.
“I’m not insane,” Thomas corrected him. Then, he turned to look at Simon and instantly appeared
before him.
Looking at Simon, he asked, “Don’t you wish to attain immortality? You’re nearing your end too. Aren’t
you fearful of death? Aren’t you afraid of the nothingness after death?”
“Thomas, you are being delusional,” Simon said coldly. “There’s no evidence whatsoever that drinking
the Spirit Turtle’s blood will help us attain immortality. This information was left behind by the Prince of
Orchid Mountain, who wasn’t quite sure of its authenticity himself. Besides, you aren’t capable of
slaying the Spirit Turtle.”
“I’m not so sure about that.”
Wearing a confident look, Thomas said, “Do you know what people have gathered here at the Mount
Thunder Sect?”
“There’s Callan Maverick who reached the seventh rank a century ago. Now, he has reached the peak
of the eighth rank and climbed the third stair of the Skyward Stairway. His Decimation of Immortality is
unrivaled in the world and can neutralize all incoming attacks.
“There’s also Winston Blithe whose Blithe Fist of Abomination would decimate all enemies.
“Let’s also not forget Bennett Caden whose Thirteen Heavenly Swords would shake the heaven and
earth.”
“Also, there’s Yaakov Johnston. The Whirlwind Sword Technique of the Johnstons is remarkable
indeed.
“There’s also Xavi Lee whose Dragon Hymn is unparalleled in the world.
“The Sylvan Sect’s Master Maha’s Sinew Metamorphosis is world-renowned.
“The King a hundred years ago perfected the Purple Mist Secret Art. The Purple Mist shielding his body
is an unbreakable defense.
“There are also Lucjan Owen and Tanner Davis.
“Not to mention the both of us.”
“We have a total of eleven eighth-rank martial artists and countless other seventh-rank ones. Don’t you
think we can slay the weakened Spirit Turtle with ease?”
Simon took a deep breath.
“Thomas, you really went to great lengths for the Spirit Turtle.”
Simon did not expect that there would be so many eighth-rank martial artists in Sol at a single time.
This was a historic occasion.
Thomas sat down and said smilingly, “I need your help, Simon. The moment the Conference begins, I
want you to open the gates of the Snow Cavern and release the Spirit Turtle. By slaying the Spiritnovelbin
Turtle, everyone would be able to drink its blood and attain immortality.”
“Thomas, have you ever considered the possibility of failure?”
Staring at Thomas, he asked, “Do you know what failure would entail? If the Spirit Turtle charges out of
Mount Thunder, many innocent lives would be lost.”
“Simon, you underestimate the technological advances of this era. Even if things get out of control,
there’s no way the Spirit Turtle would leave this place alive. A few missiles are all we need to
exterminate it,” Thomas said coolly.
“And what if I disagree?” Simon stared at Thomas.
“Oh, you will.” Thomas said coldly, “You knew of the Spirit Turtle’s existence and purpose. There’s no
way you’ll be able to restrain the urge. Due to your ancestral teachings, however, you are unable to
reveal this secret. I have brought a group of powerful martial artists here who are unaware of the Spirit
Turtle’s existence and secret. By combining forces and slaying the Spirit Turtle, their True Energy will
be severely depleted. By then…”
Thomas’ face darkened.
“We will wipe them out.
“From today onwards, the Mount Thunder Sect will reign supreme.”
