Chapter 2581

His face was skeletal and looked as if only a thin layer of skin was covering it up.

The man was so slim that he looked like a skeleton in clothes.

His face was pale, and his eyes were sunken, which made his face look slightly frightening.

Many cultivators slightly backed away upon seeing his appearance.

The old man stepped out into the air and slowly descended from the sky.

Soon.. he landed on the ground.

Everyone looked at the powerhouse that had dominated the world a hundred thousand years ago

warily.

The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at the crowd and said calmly, “Most people only know about

Sangria’s Curse.

They aren’t aware that all of Planet Galileo is cursed.

“Living beings on Planet Galileo aren’t capable of living for more than a million years.

“Those that reach the age of one million will die.

“Also, the living beings on our planet can’t break through into the Divine Rank.

Those that reach the Divine Rank will die even if they haven't reached the age of one million.” The

Blademaster of Mount Grinch’s voice resounded.

Most of the living beings present had more or less heard about such legends, but none of the legends

had ever been verified before.

Thus, most of them never took them to heart.

“Are you really the Blademaster of Mount Grinch? Is what you’re saying true?” A cultivator asked

tentatively, afraid to offend the powerhouse that dominated the world a hundred thousand years ago.

The Blademaster of Mount Grinch did not respond to his question.

He looked at the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion ahead of him, and his wrinkled face darkened.

The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was not a naturally talented cultivator but had obtained a lot of

boons.

It took him a few hundred thousand years for him to finally become a Sage and make a name for

himself.

However, he was almost at the age of one million.

He could clearly feel the pressure from the universe.

Initially, he had accepted his fate and was waiting for his death.

However, he learned about the rumors of Sangria and the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion, that it was

possible to lift the curse.

He was not ready to die yet and wanted to live.

It was his goal to continue cultivating until he reached the Divine Rank.

Thus, he came to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.

One hundred thousand years ago, he was a Sage King at the Sage Rank's Eleventh Stage.

Now, his cultivation rank had already improved to a higher level.

He was at the Sage Rank’s Thirteenth Stage and was now a Sage Emperor.

Despite being a Sage Emperor, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch also felt a powerful force from the

Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s formation.

In a trance, it felt like a terrifying Sword Intent was crushing him.

The Blademaster of Mount Grinch murmured, “I heard the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion’s protective

formation was set up countless years ago by a Divine Sage.

Seeing it here today, it seems the rumors were indeed true.” He clasped his fists together and shouted,

“I’m the Blademaster of Mount Grinch.

I’d like to ask the Crepe Myrtle Sword Master to please open the mountain gate.” His voice resounded

through the mountain range, reaching the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.

Even James, who was on a mountaintop, heard the voice.

James’ brows furrowed, and he murmured, “Who’s this Blademaster of Mount Grinch? He must have a

great background to make such a demand.” After mumbling to himself, James got up and left.

He secretly headed to where the Crepe Myrtle Sword Master usually hung out.

At that moment, the Sword Master was with Xianna.

Hearing the voice from outside the mountain gate, she had a solemn expression.

Xianna, who was beside her, fell into thought.

After briefly racking her brains, she said, “The Blademaster of mount Grinch? Could he be the

swordsman that dominated the world a hundred thousand years ago?” The Sword Master nodded

lightly and said, “It should be him.

I never expected him to be still alive.

Counting the years passed, he’s almost one million years old.

If I’m not mistaken, he came after learning that lifting Sangria’s Curse could also dispel the curse on

this world.”
