In the ancient martial arts world, the powerful were revered.
Seniority would go to the stronger person. Anyone less powerful would be insignificant.
The Omniscient Deity was genuinely uncomfortable being referred to as ‘Lord’ by Thea.
Thea sat down and did not say anything else.
James asked, “What information do you have?”
The Omniscient Deity looked at James and said, “You’ll definitely find this information useful. However, there’s a
rule in the Jade Sect. If I give you information, you must promise to do something for me in return.”
James was aware of this rule.
“Let’s hear it first.”
“No, you should first make a promise.”
As he said that, he took out a token and gave it to James.
“This is a jade token. Keep it. When I need you to do something for me, I'll come to retrieve this token from you.”
The jade token that the Omniscient Deity gave was different from the one that was given to the Blithe family
member. The previous one was a token used to make a request to the Jade Sect. This one was a token used by the
Jade Sect to make a request.

James had no idea what information the Omniscient Deity would impart to him either. For the time being, he
accepted it.
“Tell me.”
The Omniscient Deity eventually started to speak, “The Blithes have obtained the floorplan of the traps in King
Quavon's Mausoleum. They’re already heading to King Quavon's Mausoleum. Moreover, the First Sword Art is
located there. It is a sword technique created specifically to slay a phoenix, and it’s also the sword technique used
in conjunction with the Primordial Sword.”
“That’s it?”
James promptly returned the token that was in his hand.
“This information is useless to me. I’m not interested in the First Sword Art.”
The Omniscient Deity looked at James and said, enunciating each word, “James, do you know what the First Sword
Art is? Are you familiar with it?”
“I don't know, and I'm not familiar with it. I'm not interested, actually.”
“You’re still too young.” The Omniscient Deity sighed and said, “You want to slay the dragon and save Thea, but
you're not strong enough right now. Your martial arts abilities are also inadequate. King Quavon's Mausoleum,

according to my understanding, houses not only the First Sword Art but also the Elixir of Life.”
“The Elixir of Life?”
James froze, then grinned and said, “You must be joking.”
The Omniscient Deity said with a smile, “Elixir of Life is just a common name for it. It doesn't actually make people
immortal. To put it simply, this elixir is called the Novenary Golden Elixir. It was refined by the top alchemist under
King Quavon at the time. Rumor has it that it was because King Quavor consumed the Novenary Golden Elixir that
he could ascend to the Ninth Stair of the Skyward Stairway, achieving the ninth rank.”
James was intrigued.
“Is that true?”
“Information from the Jade Sect is never incorrect.”
James wanted to ascend to the ninth rank as quickly as he could and slay the dragon. Then, he could save Thea as
soon as possible.
“Alright. I’ll accept this jade token. Still, I’m not familiar with King Quavon's Mausoleum. Going there without careful
consideration is not a good idea. I need some specific details from you.”
The Omniscient Deity shook his head slightly and said, “I don't have any specific information. This is all I can tell
you. Besides, the Blithes are already on their way to King Quavon's Mausoleum. You don't need to know much. Just
follow the Blithes inside.”

After saying that, the Omniscient Deity got to his feet.
"After you get the First Sword Art and the Novenary Golden Elixir, I'll come to retrieve the jade token and ask you to
do something."
He left as soon as he said that.
When the Omniscient Deity had left, Thea eventually asked, “Are you really going?”
“Of course I’m going. Why wouldn't I?”
James' expression showed determination.
“Even if I cultivate methodically for three years or thirty years, I may not reach the ninth rank. If I want to ascend to
the ninth rank, I can only do so with the help of pills and elixirs. Besides…”
After a brief pause, James continued, “Even though I'm not interested in the First Sword Art, it’s still an unrivaled
sword technique from a thousand years ago. If I can grasp its essence, it will benefit my swordsmanship.”
“Then I’ll go with you.”
“No.” James immediately refused. “It's not that I'm not letting you go, Thea. You already intervened last time at
Divine Sword Villa. What if something bad happens to you and you get hurt? Now, your blood gets thinner as you
bleed. I have to stop letting you get involved. You should be at ease and stay in the Capital.”
“But…”
