Chapter 1811

“Secondly, the power of desire.

“What is desire?

“Sky desires to become the greatest in the world. It’s a powerful obsession. When his desire reached

the pinnacle, he made a breakthrough into the ninth rank after consuming the power of the Dragon

Essence. The same goes for your grandfather, Thomas. His ambition is equally great. Besides, he’s

shrewd and cunning. However, even with the aid of the Dragon Essence, he only managed to become

a Half-Saint Human desire is terrifying.”

After he spoke, he looked at James and said smilingly, “A man free of ambition like you is incapable of

using this method. Hence, only the power of nature remains.”

“Huh?” James asked in confusion, “What is the power of nature?”

“This requires some explanation.” Langston explained, “The power of nature is magical. It is the power

of heaven and earth. Your mind must be cleared of impurities, and your heart must be cleansed of all

desires. Absorb the power of nature and change your body structure and physical capabilities. The

human body is like a huge water tank, whereas True Energy is like water. Once you reach the peak of

the Ninth Stair, you can no longer increase True Energy due to a limited capacity. The power of nature,

on the other hand, is capable of changing one’s body structure. Think of it as expanding the capacity of

the water tank. When your True Energy attains a certain strength, you can use True Energy to make a

breakthrough.”

After he said that, he sighed.

“Back then, I tried gaining insight into the power of nature as well. However, despite decades of futile.

effort, I couldn’t comprehend anything. In the end, I only managed to cross into the ninth rank by

entering King Quavon’s Mausoleum and obtaining the remaining phoenix blood.”

Langston tried explaining the power of nature to James.

James had experienced this. The power of nature, also known as Spiritual Energy, can change one’s

body structure and physical capabilities, thereby increasing one’s True Energy.

After hearing Langston’s explanation, James understood that the path he walked was the right one.

However, he now had more questions on his mind.

“Langston, you said you obtained the phoenix blood in King Quavon’s Mausoleum. If that’s the case,

why didn’t King Quavon consume it but instead bury it in his mausoleum more than two thousand years

ago?”

Langston’s expression turned grim.

“I don’t know. However, after looking through the ancient text, I learned that something great happened

two millenniums ago. It seemed that some powerful force prevented King Quavon from doing so.”

“A powerful force?” James froze before asking, “Who?”

Langston shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. If you’re interested to know, you can ask the

Omniscient Deity more about the subject. Since he’s lived longer than me, he should be more

knowledgeable

Hearing this, James clasped his hands and said, “Thank you, Langston.”

Langston looked at him and asked, “What is your current strength? Have you gained insight into the

power of nature?”

A slight smile crept up on James’ face. Seeing this, Langston understood immediately.

Then, James left alongside Thea.

“Father.” Tyrus looked at Langston.

Langston said with a smile, “He’s young, but he managed to gain great insight into the power of nature.

I believe it’s only a matter of time before he crosses into the ninth rank. His path is the proper one.

Everyone else, including me, took a back-door route. Even though we crossed into the ninth rank, we

spent a lot of time searching for the right path. However, James managed to find it even before he

crossed into the ninth rank.”

“Indeed… Tyrus sighed. “He’s a brilliant man. All these years, I watched him grow from an innocent

young man into an experienced commander-in-chief. His heart is magnanimous, and his mind is open

and broad. Perhaps only a man like him can gain insight into the true path of cultivation.”

“Mhm.” Langston nodded and said, “However, I wonder how the Omniscient Deity crossed into the

ninth rank. Although I’ve heard about him even a millennium ago, I know nothing about his strength

since I’ve never fought against him in battle. This is the perfect opportunity to witness his true strength.”
