“Is that so?”
Moacir did not believe a single word. Even if what James said was true, there was no way he was handing over the Ancestral
God Rank Elixir’s fragments, considering that the human race was fighting against the Heavenly Path.
“Yes, I’m speaking the truth.” James said, “The Fourth Calamity of the human race is just around the corner. By then, Heaven’s
Adjudicators will descend, and all of humankind will be annihilated.”
Moacir said coldly, “I’m not a member of the human race. How does the fate of humankind concern me?”
James tried convincing Moacir nicely. However, it was apparent that Moacir had no plans to give up the Ancestral God Rank
Elixir.
James’ face darkened, “Since you’re reluctant to hand over the elixir, let’s battle each other. I can obtain the elixir by annihilating
you anyway.”
Hearing this, Moacir unconsciously staggered backward. He knew just how powerful James and the others were, especially
Jabari who fought against the Leader of the Sanctuary. Even he could feel his blood run cold. If Jabari made a move against him,
he would not stand a chance at all.
After weighing the pros and cons, he smiled and said, “I’m just messing with you. I don’t really care about the Ancestral God
Rank Elixir anyway. If you want it, I’ll simply give it to you.”
Then, he opened his mouth. A golden light glimmered in it, which slowly gathered to form a shining elixir.
James immediately took the elixir. After confirming the authenticity, he stored it away.
Clasping his fists, he said, “Thank you.”
Though Moacir was reluctant, he had no other choice but to act generously and say, “Well, this thing is no longer useful to me
anyway. Take it if you wish. Don’t return to the Boundless Sea ever again.”
After he spoke, his body flashed, and he entered the sea. Since he was injured, he had to return to treat his injuries.
After he left, Thea said, “Now, we have obtained three of the five fragments. Apart from the one in the Sanctuary’s possession,
there’s only one remaining in the outside world. We should hurry and locate the whereabouts of the fourth. Once the Sanctuary
gets to it before us, things will get troublesome.”
“Alright.” James nodded.
Then, they summoned Crucifier and Exalter and catalyzed Heavenly and Demonic Transformation to form a Time Capsule. At
that moment, a painting materialized in the Time Capsule, on which a young girl was depicted. The girl was about seven years of
age. She was wearing tattered clothes, and her hair was tied into two pigtails.
“...”
Everyone was stunned.
James asked, “Don’t tell me that the fourth fragment is related to a young girl.”
Thea shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
Nico said, “We should ask Emperor Jabari to divine.”
The image formed by the Time Capsule disappeared almost immediately. James and Thea dispersed their cultivation methods
and stored their treasures away. James immediately contacted Emperor Jabari who was inside the Celestial Abode to
extrapolate.
In the Celestial Abode, Jabari began his divination. Approximately thirty minutes later, the Extrapolation Formation created by
Jabari shattered.
“James,” his voice echoed in James’ mind.
James hurriedly asked, “How did it go, Grand Emperor?”
Jabari said, “I can’t divine.”
“Why not?” James was confused.
Jabari said, “There’s only a single possibility.”
“What?”
“The Ancestral God Rank Elixir must have taken the form of a human and become the young girl in the painting. Since she
materialized from the elixir, there are inscriptions that conceal Heaven’s secret inside her body. Naturally, we won’t be able to
locate her.”
Hearing this, realization dawned on James’ face.
