Chapter 1564
The 81 black needles flew through the air like lasers, piercing through the cultivation room’s walls.
The cultivation room was enclosed in solid rock.
However, the black needles easily passed through the black rocks.
A few microscopic holes were left in the rock.
Soon, the black needles flew back into the room and returned to Thea’s hand as a black steel wire.
The steel wire was a weapon called Exalter.
Thea had been absorbing the Spirit Turtle blood’s power during her closed-door meditation. She felt the effect of the Spirit
Turtle’s blood more keenly in her current mentally unhinged state. It was stronger than it had been previously.
At the same time, she had also been trying to decipher the teachings in the Book of Malice.
The strength of Exalter combined with Murderous Energy was nothing short of foreboding.
However, she had not grasped the technique completely and thus, was unable to utilize the full power of Exalter.
Right now, Exalter could only be seen as a powerful hidden weapon. It was still not strong enough to be a weapon of destruction.
She had been meditating in seclusion, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
“Sect Leader.”
A masked man in black pushed open the door to the cultivation room and walked inside. He knelt on one knee, lowered his
head, and reported respectfully, “Sect Leader, it’s almost time.”
Hearing this, Thea stopped cultivating.
She drew in her True Energy.
Her crimson pupils gradually returned to normal.
Thea still had an elegant appearance. Her long, white hair gave her a different type of allure.
However, her porcelain face held no trace of emotion, giving her the impression of an ice queen.
She slowly stood up.
The kneeling disciple reported to her, “Tomorrow is the day of the duel between you and Tobias. It’s already three in the morning.
You should arrive at Mt. Thunder Pass by noon if you hurry there now.”
Thea did not respond and left the cultivation room holding her hands behind her back.
Meanwhile, Mt. Thunder Pass...
James had waited at Mt. Thunder Pass for the entire week.
The week flew by and at dawn, it would be the day that Thea and Thomas dueled to the death.
Neither Thea nor Tobias had shown up yet, but many other martial artists from various sects had already
arrived.
These people were here to watch the fight.
Thea being Celestial Sect’s leader was the most widely discussed news right now.
Everyone came to see whether Thea was really Celestial Sect’s leader.
The martial artists immediately noticed James upon arriving on Mt. Thunder Pass.
He had been sitting in a lotus position for a few days.
For the past few days, he remained motionless like a statue.
Everyone was convinced that Celestial Sect’s leader was really Thea.
Otherwise, James would not be waiting on Mt. Thunder Pass.
However, they were perplexed at his presence because it was rumored that Tobias absorbed James’ cultivation base in Malgudi.
How could he have been sitting here for the past few days without eating or drinking?
Ordinary people could not survive without consuming anything for consecutive days.
Only a powerful martial artist could go maintain themselves for such an extended period without ingesting anything.
“Dad.”
In the distance, a man and woman stood together.
The woman wore a white dress, and her long hair flowed down her scalp like a waterfall.
She looked at James, sitting ahead of them with his eyes closed. She said worriedly, “Mr. Caden had been sitting here for
several days. Do you think he’s alright?”
The young woman that spoke was Delainey.
Jackson shook his head while looking at James and said, “I don’t know what exactly happened, but judging from the current
situation, it must have been something important.”
“You’re right about that. Something did indeed happen.”
A voice came from behind them.
Following the voice, an elegant young man dressed in a white robe appeared.
He had long hair that was half black and half white.
