Chapter 1912
After thinking for a brief moment, the Grand Patriarchs accepted the terms. After all, two berries were better than none.
Following that, the distribution process went smoothly.
The three Grand Patriarchs of the Polaris Sect received two berries, whereas Thomas, Tobias, Lucjan, and Sky each obtained
one.
Soon, no berries remained.
Those who had yet to cross into the ninth rank received nothing. Although they were dismayed, they did not complain. If
anything, it was their fault for being too weak and powerless to do anything.
James held the berry in his hand as he embraced its warmth. The berry was the size of a fist and glimmered a purple light.
Transparent and crystal clear, he could also vaguely see the purple light darting about inside the berry. It was simply mysterious
and magical.
"It smells so good...”
James sniffed the berry.
He was tempted to swallow the berry whole, but he knew that this was not a place for a closed-door meditation. James planned
to return to the Southern Plains and enter a closed-door meditation at the Mount Thunder Pass. With the help of this mysterious
berry, he should be able to cross into the Supernatural stage easily.
After distributing the berries, everyone gathered around the mysterious status.
Langston looked at Conrad and Juniper, saying, "From today onward, Mount Bane shall belong to everyone. Moreover, every
magical object that appears here shall be shared equally amongst everyone. How does that sound?"
Conrad shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sure."
Though he was reluctant to agree, he could not defeat the earthlings with his current strength. He had no choice but to
compromise.
Juniper was in a worse position. She no longer ignited fear in the heart of the earthlings, so she considered herself fortunate to
be able to live harmoniously alongside the earthlings. After all, if they were hell-bent on killing her, she would not be able to stand
a chance.
After putting forward his proposal, Langston looked at the earthlings and said, "Do not be disheartened if you fail to obtain a
berry this time. Earth's mutation has only just begun. There'll be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The crowd remained silent as they chastised their own powerlessness deep down. If they were stronger, they would have
obtained something.
After the discussion, James and Thea descended Mount Bane.
Along the way...
"Grandfather, Uncle, are we really going to let them continue staying on Mount Bane? They are a menace to us." James said
anxiously.
Langston waved slightly and said, "Living alongside them peacefully and harmoniously is currently our best option. What we
need to do now is to bide our time while we increase our strength in the shortest amount of time possible. Once the seal is
broken, there will be many powerful martial artists who'll appear on Earth.
“Besides, right now I can't destroy Conrad.”
This was the main reason. If he had the ability to annihilate Conrad, he would not have allowed him to stay.
Upon hearing this, James fell silent.
"By the way, Thea...”
Langston looked at Thea with a grim expression on his face, saying, 'You have the blood of the Four Holy Beasts within your
body. Conrad's words proved my hypothesis. You should avoid using the power of the Four Holy Beasts’ blood as much as
possible.”
Over the past six months, Langston had been busy researching Phoenix's blood. The outcome of the research showed that
Phoenix's blood was contaminated by Demonic Energy.
Just as Conrad said, the Four Holy Beasts had been tampered with. Their bodies had been imbued with malevolent Demonic
Energy that would augment one's desires. The stronger one's Spiritual Root, the greater and more terrifying the adverse effects
of Demonic Energy.
Currently, he had yet to find a way to deal with Demonic Energy. As such, he could only remind Thea to be careful.
Thea nodded slightly and said, "I understand... I'll keep that in mind.”
‘This is farewell, then.” Langston looked at James and said, "Time passed in the blink of an eye. The development of Dragonville
must be hastened. No one knows exactly when the seal will be undone. Perhaps this would only transpire ten years
later...However, if something unexpected happens, it might happen in advance. That’s why we have to increase our cultivation
base as soon as possible.”
"I'll do my best," James said solemnly.
