Jackson nodded and said, “If our Grand Sect Leader was right, the Celestial Sect’s leader thatchallenged us that day was your grandfather, Thomas. Your grandfather is probably the only person inthe entire world who has the strength to defeat our Grand Sect Leader.”
James tried to organize his thoughts.
‘Grandpa?’ thought James.
James found that idea highly improbable.
He had come in contact with Celestial Sect’s leader several times.
Although the sect leader wore a mask, he could smell perfume on them, and their arms were also notas toned as a male would be.
Despite their efforts to disguise their voice by making it sound deep and raspy, it was stilldistinguishable as that of an actual man.
“I highly doubt it.”
James said skeptically, “While I was in Mount Olympus, the leader of the Celestial Sect and mygrandfather appeared almost around the same time. My grandfather appeared right as Celestial Sect’sleader left. That doesn’t make sense unless my grandfather resorts to cloning himself, don’t you thinkso?”
Jackson shook his head in uncertainty and said, “This is purely my own speculation. I only know thatCelestial Sect’s leader is exceedingly powerful and defeated me with just one move. Their strengthmust be at the peak of the eighth rank. As for what level of the Skyward Stairway the Celestial Sect’snovelbin
leader has reached, I’m not sure. However, since our Grand Sect Leader called him Thomas, I think hewasn’t mistaken about it.”
“He wasn’t mistaken?”
James furrowed his brows more.
The suggested identity of the Celestial Sect’s leader seemed unlikely to him.
He could consider the possibility that Thea was the leader of the Celestial Sect but was almost certainthat his grandfather was not the person in question.
“With that being said, I do believe the Celestial Sect’s leader isn’t operating with malicious motives.Moreover, the sect hasn’t done anything harmful,” Jackson stated.
He had explicitly investigated Celestial Sect and was well aware of the things they had done recently.
Although they quickly took over the ancient martial world, they did not kill anyone.
“Huff!”
James took a deep breath.
He put the matter of Celestial Sect’s leader’s identity aside for now.
His most pressing task was to deal with his upcoming battle at Mt. Thunder Pass.
He was still in the dark about his opponent’s identity and rank.
There was nothing more terrifying than going into a battle with an enemy you know nothing about.
After briefly conversing with: Jackson, James stood up and said, “Mr. Cabral, I’ll have to head to Mt.Thunder Pass before dawn and find a place to meditate for the next few days to prepare for myupcoming duel. I’ll leave the investigation of Valhalla Sect, Delilah, and Xavion in your hands.”
Jackson stood up and said, “I’ll do my best to look into them. How about letting my daughteraccompany you to the Southern Plains?”
James was taken aback by the suggestion.
Jackson hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry, I don’t have ulterior motives. My daughter may not beproficient in other things, but she’s extremely well-read and is familiar with all martial art techniques thatexist in the world. No matter who your opponent is, she’ll be able to identify them through the martial arttechniques they use.”
“Is she really that capable?” James exclaimed in surprise.
He had seen Delainey a few times before.
From his observations, Delainey was a pretty and charismatic woman but was average when it came tomartial arts.
Other than that, there was nothing special about her.
“Absolutely.”
Jackson smiled and said, “Mount Thunder Sect has many martial art techniques dispersed throughoutthe world. Apart from some signature martial art techniques that have been lost from the martial world,Delainey has practically read everything there is to read.”
James contemplated for a while and decided that perhaps bringing a living encyclopedia of the ancientmartial world with him would be a good idea.
“You make a good point. However, I’ll be traveling throughout the night, so I’m not sure if your daughterwill be able…”
Jackson raised his hand to interrupt him. “There’s no such thing as a frail martial artist. Since you’veagreed to it, I’ll notify Delainey right away to prepare to depart to the Southern Plains with you.”
“Alright.” James nodded gently.
“Do wait a bit, James. I’ll go inform her right away.”
After leaving behind a few words, he turned around and left.
James sat down again and began waiting once more.
