Chapter 90: 90
“Good work today. You did it better than I could have hoped.” John is stirred out of his mind by his father who congratulates him.
“Thank you dad. You yourself are amazing,” John replied as he recalled his father's fight with Warren.
“Haha, thank you. Putting Warren in his place is really satisfying.” Barden laughed loudly for some time before a serious expression appeared on his face.
“Now that your full talent has been revealed, the Crimson Valley Sect and the others will definitely not just sit idly by and watch you grow, as you saw today. While I was confident in protecting you when I was around, I could not say the same thing when you entered the pocket world. ”
“Not only that, both Jason and Dylan are mysterious figures. Jason had talent above what the Crimson Valley Sect could produce, and Dylan recognized your Highest Combat Art today.”
Dylan had recognized the Supreme Combat Art in the fight with John, a fact not to be missed by the Fenix Clan Elder. No junior could recognize the technique, because it came from a land far away from this one, but somehow Dylan still recognized it.
John agreed. Both characters are mysterious.
“Dad, if we believe they have a mysterious origin, can't we disqualify them to join the pocket world?” John asked curiously.
Only members of the five forces involved were allowed to enter the pocket realm according to the agreement set between all the powers.
“Unfortunately, we have no evidence on these allegations. Warren will definitely make something that sounds reasonable. The only thing we can do is proceed with caution. In the realm of pocket, I'm sure Jason will target you. While I'm confident that you can protect yourself, be sure to stay with Miko around the clock to ensure your safety. ” Barden said in a heavy voice.
John agreed with his father's advice. Although John had his own pride, he knew he was currently no match for a Qi Condensation genius, so he most likely had to stay with Miko for now to ensure her safety.
‘This is really the only way for now. This is just another confirmation that strength is the only way forward. I can't even protect my own life like I do now, let alone the lives of those around me. ‘
John's face was heavy as he once again looked out the window of the train and watched the scene pass by. The journey back to the Fenix Clan took two days, and after returning home, John immediately began his cultivation. He had asked his father if he could get as much late Fog Creation and early Qi Condensation beasts as he could for him when he arrived back home. Barden is confused at John's request, but still obeys it.
A few days later …
A muffled voice rang out from John's body as he sat on the floor of his bedroom.
A huge smile appeared on his face as he sent his sense of divinity into his body to check for changes. He inspected his dantian, and was very happy to see the quality and quantity of Qi in his essence had improved. In the middle of the Fog Creation Realm, his dantian was thin and somewhat hazy, while now the Qi fog was so thick that it looked as if it was about to melt.
Until now, John had relied mostly on his body to fight, but his essence power had finally caught up and would be able to help him in the upcoming fight.
After examining his body for some time, John took out some beast blood essence and tried to cultivate his body dantian with it. A wrinkle immediately appeared on his face as he checked the results.
‘As I thought, the blood essence of the beast has stopped working. It seems that only the human blood essence will work to increase my body's cultivation, but I can't just ask my father to go collect human blood. ‘
Although there were cultivation techniques that used human blood, all of them were viewed as heretical cultivation arts, and anyone who practiced them would be hunted down. Only powerful sects could protect themselves openly developing this type of art, but they were all considered evil sects and were enemies of the world. John tried hard to find a solution, but could not find any solution.
‘Because this is the case, I have to go out and test my new strength.’
The days passed quickly, and John continued to develop and practice all of his techniques vigorously. Two weeks passed quickly, and once again the Fenix Clan was seen gathering together to depart. While the crowd for the tournament was filled with roughly a hundred people, this group was filled with even more people.
The opening of the pocket realm was a once in twenty year event, and even those who were unable to participate wanted to at least witness its opening. Over a hundred carriages, each pulled by a powerful Qi Condensing Steed, were gathered at the front gate of the Fenix Clan.
Cade Fenix stood in front of the large group and spoke in a loud voice.
“Time for the opening of the pocket world has arrived. All of our juniors make us proud of their performances in both tournaments, and I am sure they will make us proud once again. Remember, the pocket world is full of beautiful, life-changing treasures and opportunities, but it is also full of enormous dangers. You must remember to remain vigilant, not only the dangers of nature within, but also its people. “
Based on his previous pocket-world expedition, Cade knew the greatest danger came from the heart of another ruthless person. After speaking to the crowd, the Fenix Clan all set out towards the pocket realm.
John steeled his eyes as he anticipated the upcoming event.
‘Finally arrived.’
