“...”
James was at a loss for words.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. Why would I lie?” the bird said in distaste.
James asked again, “What about the Omniscience Path? There’s no way to progress further past the Omniscience Path’s Third
Stage. I only happened to cross into the Fourth Stage by chance. But after reaching this stage, I won’t be able to continue
further. What should I do in this case?”
“This...” the bird stammered.
“You don’t know?” James looked at him.
“Bullsh*t.” Annoyed, the bird said arrogantly, “There’s nothing I don’t know in this world. The Omniscience Path is all you wish to
know? That is but a piece of cake. Who says that the Third Stage is the furthest you can go? It’s because you haven’t found the
right path yet.”
Hearing this, James was intrigued.
Even Yukia Dearnaley said that the Omniscience Path had a dead end, yet here was this bird claiming otherwise.
“What should I do to continue cultivating?” James looked at the bird in anticipation.
The bird said with a serious look on his face, “Simple. Find an Acmean and ask him to use Acme Power to relax your tendons
and open up the paths inside your body.”
James rolled his eyes. This was simply redundant. Find an Acmean? Where?
“There’s a way,” the bird said.
“Oh?” James asked, “What way?”
The bird said, “The Omniscience Path was severed during the battle long ago by a mysterious, powerful individual who limited
the potential and constrained the development of all living beings. That was why a certain powerful individual branched out of the
Omniscience Path and chose to open up a new cultivation path. He kept consuming Empyrean Herbs and searching for herbs
that could increase one’s bloodline power and bodily qualities in the hopes of reactivating the severed Path.”
Severed? A certain individual in the past had divined the same thing, but no one knew about the specific details. Now that a
mere bird was telling him everything, James was intrigued.
“Which battle are you referring to? What do you mean severed? What happened in the Dark World in the past?”
“You’re still too weak to understand all this, kid.”
James rolled his eyes.
“Am I weak?”
He did not believe that he was weak. He had cultivated the unprecedented Chaos Path, and his strength was not beneath a
Ninth Stage Lord. Was he really considered weak? If he was weak, there would be no strong individuals in the world.
The bird scrutinized James from head to toe and murmured, “Indeed, you’re pretty strong. However, you should do the research
yourself. This is a secret taboo to unearth. I cannot say more than that, or else I’ll be in deep trouble.”
The bird bluffed non-stop. In truth, it knew nothing at all. However, in front of a human, it could not reveal its ignorance.
“Are you a Gorger? What’s the relationship between you and the Gorger in the Twelfth Universe?” James looked at the bird.
At that moment, the bird chirped a few times before flapping its wings and disappearing from James’ view.
James froze. By the time he collected himself, a primordial power had surfaced, shaking the earth in the process.
