God Of War Dad

Sandals turned back to face Sean and solemnly said, “Sean, have you heard of the Phoenix Gallbladder before?”

“The Phoenix Gallbladder!”

“It’s not the actual gallbladder of a phoenix, but rather essence energy crystallized from a phoenix’s aura. It has the power of rebirth and can allow an ordinary person to be reborn, inheriting the divine phoenix bloodline. It is an extremely rare and precious treasure!”

“Legend has it!”

“In ancient times when beasts ran rampant and demons wreaked havoc, a God descended carrying the Sword of God, slaying beasts and banishing evil spirits. During this time, the God subjugated a fire phoenix as a beast mount!”

“Tragically!”

“While following the God to slay evil beasts, the fire phoenix unfortunately died. But its essence didn’t dissipate and instead condensed into the Phoenix Gallbladder, passing down through the ages…”

This was Swordland!

The Hill of Swords!

The place of origin for the legend of the God!

So!

Having been in seclusion here at the Hill of Swords for many years, Sandals naturally knew a bit more about the legend of the God than ordinary people.

She even knew some secrets that perhaps even the ten great families of Swordland didn’t know!

Like!

A wonder like the Phoenix Gallbladder!

Whether from Spirit Wolf’s mouth or Howard Taylor’s, Sean had never heard them mention anything about the Phoenix Gallbladder!

Phoenix rebirth!

Recasting bones!

Just hearing the name “Phoenix Gallbladder”, Sean’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly. If it really was like Sandals said, that this Phoenix Gallbladder truly existed in the world and could be used on Cecilia, then Sean had no doubt that Cecilia’s talent after inheriting the divine phoenix bloodline would absolutely not be beneath his!

After all!

He had only inherited Liane’s bloodline legacy, whereas Cecilia would need to gather three of the greatest wonders – Liane’s blood, the Sword of God, and the Phoenix Gallbladder. That was like having cheats activated!

Ask the world!

Who could compare???

Damn!

Damn!

Damn!

The more Sean thought about it, the more excited he became. The blood in his body even seemed to boil slightly. He eagerly asked, “Aunt Sandals, do you mean that as long as we find the Phoenix Gallbladder and use the Sword of God, you can help Cecilia replace her bloodline and inherit the divine phoenix bloodline?”

“Right???”

When speaking!

Sean’s voice was even trembling!

“Mm!”

Sandals nodded and said, “I think Master must have had this in mind when she didn’t completely burn away Cecilia’s life force and told you to bring her here to find me!”

Yes!

Without making a sound, Liane had actually paved the way for Cecilia from the moment she proposed having Cecilia activate her drop of blood to come save Sean!

“Then…”

Sean forcefully suppressed his excitement. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he carefully and cautiously asked again, “Can Aunt Sandals confirm that the Phoenix Gallbladder truly exists in this world?”

Exist!

That was the prerequisite for everything!

If it existed!

Then next was how to find it!

“It exists, of course!”

“Otherwise, why would I speak of such a method, letting you rejoice in vain?”

Sandals nodded again to confirm, finally letting Sean’s heart hanging in his throat settle down!

“Not only does it exist!”

“But also!”

“During my travels some years ago, I happened to learn of its whereabouts!”

Sandals added.

Hearing this!

Sean’s mood, which had just calmed down, was fucking excited again!

The heavens really opened their eyes! Was this the heavens opening their eyes? When asking for wind, getting wind, asking for rain, getting rain. Of the three wonders, Liane had prepared two of them in advance, leaving only the Phoenix Gallbladder. And it just so happened that he could get news about it from Sandals!!!

Yet!

Sandals’ expression remained extremely grave, without any of the excitement or elation Sean felt!

She just lightly sighed and shook her head, saying, “Sean, don’t get too excited too soon, listen to everything I have to say!”

“The Phoenix Gallbladder!”

“Like the Sword of God, is an extremely rare treasure, the only one of its kind in the world!”

“So!”

“One can imagine, the person able to obtain it and keep it in their possession, whether it’s their strength or influence, is definitely not some Bright Realm powerhouse with a damaged core like that scoundrel King Ron!”

“As I just said,”

“Wanting to take the Phoenix Gallbladder from their hands is even harder than ascending to the heavens!”

“At least!”

“With your and my current strength and influence, compared to those people, it’s like smashing eggs against rocks, completely beyond our ability to contend…”

Finally!

After giving Sean tremendous hope, Sandals’ tone took a turn, still pouring cold water over his head in the end!

However!

Sean was not surprised by this!

A wonder like the Phoenix Gallbladder, its allure and temptation for any cultivator was far greater than any amount of money or power. It could drive anyone crazy!

Therefore!

The one able to obtain it and keep it must be a terrifying cultivator standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation path! Otherwise, it would have long ago been snatched away by others. How could it possibly be protected???

Thus!

Sean calmed himself down with great effort and nodded, saying, “Aunt Sandals, don’t worry. I understand the tremendous dangers and obstacles involved here. I won’t act rashly or arbitrarily!”

“Tell me!”

“Who exactly has the Phoenix Gallbladder in their hands???”

Having said that!

Sean held his breath, staring straight at Sandals. He was extremely curious to know what kind of cultivator and power could keep the Phoenix Gallbladder in their possession without anyone daring to snatch it.

“That’s good then!”

Sandals wanted to say something but hesitated briefly before softly asking, “Sean, roaming outside all these years, you must have heard of the Hall of Jade, right?”

The Hall of Jade!

The Hall of Jade!

The Hall of Jade!!!

Damn!

Sean’s eyes instantly widened as he gaped in shock, his whole body frozen stiff, a tidal wave of indescribable astonishment surging in his heart!

He hadn’t expected this!

He really, truly hadn’t dreamed that the name Aunt Sandals uttered would be that of the “Hall of Jade” which he had been obsessively thinking about for some time already!

After all!

According to what King Ron had said earlier, his father Parker Mason had been taken away by the people of the Hall of Jade five years ago and his whereabouts, whether dead or alive, had been uncertain ever since!!!

Originally!

Even if the Phoenix Gallbladder had no relation to the Hall of Jade, sooner or later Sean would still have to pay the Hall of Jade a visit to investigate his father Parker Mason’s whereabouts!

And now!

As if destined, the life-saving object Cecilia needed had fallen into the hands of the Hall of Jade!

This!

How could Sean not be shocked!!!

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Sean’s extreme reaction and the astonished expression on his face, Sandals’ fine brows knitted together as she immediately sensed something off. She hurriedly asked, “Could there be some connection between you and the Hall of Jade?”

For a long time!

Sean finally returned to his senses from the shock!

“Aunt Sandals!”

Sean didn’t hurry to answer Sandals’ question, but instead asked back, “Do you know what happened to my father?”

“This…”

Sandals shook her head and said, “Back then, Master didn’t leave any information about your father. I only found out later that your father was named Parker Mason!”

“But!”

“By the time I knew, it was too late!”

“Your father had vanished without a trace, your foster mother had died tragically in the capital, while you had been secretly sent to the North. At that time, I had yet to advance to the Bright Realm and didn’t have the ability to face that scoundrel King Ron and protect you completely, so I didn’t dare rashly contact you and acknowledge you, afraid of implicating you…”

I see!

Sean suddenly understood. He solemnly said, “Earlier, the first time I had an audience with that scoundrel King Ron in the capital, he told me that the reason for my father’s disappearance was actually that he had been intercepted and taken away by the people of the Hall of Jade!!!”

“Oh???”

Hearing this, Sandals’ expression also changed!

Just as Sean hadn’t even dreamed the Phoenix Gallbladder would be in the Hall of Jade’s hands, Sandals was equally dreaming that Sean’s father, Parker Mason, would also have fallen into the Hall of Jade’s hands!

It seemed!

The connection between them and the Hall of Jade really ran deep!

“This is bad…”

Sandals’ already extremely grave expression became even more worried. She couldn’t help anxiously saying, “From what I know, the people of the Hall of Jade often secretly capture and entice Dark Energy cultivators to conduct so-called live experiments. If the experiments fail, those Dark Energy cultivators will go berserk or even die!”

“Your father was taken there five years ago and there’s been no news of him since!”

“I’m afraid…”

At this point, Sandals paused briefly, somewhat reluctant but still speaking the truth, “I’m afraid the odds are stacked against his survival.”

“Unless…”

“Unless he can withstand those inhuman experiments again and again, succeeding as the highly unlikely success case!”

Thump!

Sean’s heart instantly sank to the bottom!

The Night Devil King Huo Xiao had already told Sean about the Hall of Jade’s live experiments before leaving. And Huo Xiao was a direct victim of those experiments. According to him, with his bloodline and talent back then, he had only withstood until the fourth injection before going berserk, becoming a failed experiment. He barely escaped the Hall of Jade’s clutches by the skin of his teeth, and was saved by King Ron!

So!

What were the odds that Sean’s father, Parker Mason, could become that one-in-a-million success case?

Could he still be alive now?

The more he thought about it!

The more despairing it became!

The Night Devil King might have lied to Sean, but Aunt Sandals definitely wouldn’t. Their two accounts corroborated each other, further verifying the truth of the matter!

Sean now had no doubts about this!

“Hall of Jade!!!”

Sean’s fists clenched as the Bright Energy inside his body surged turbulent. His brows were filled with an aura of killing intent. He wished he could immediately set off to settle accounts with those bastards, but he also knew that like Aunt Sandals had just said, with his current strength and realm, he was no match for the Hall of Jade at all. Going there would not only fail to rescue his father Parker Mason and retrieve the Phoenix Gallbladder Cecilia needed, but cost him his own life as well, undoubtedly throwing himself into the wolf’s den!

Committing suicide!

So!

Sean forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart and gritted out, “Aunt Sandals, what do you know about the Hall of Jade?”

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

Especially when at an absolute disadvantage, Sean deeply knew that only by gaining a thorough understanding of the Hall of Jade could he seize any opportunities and have any hope of outwitting them!

“Well…”

Sandals thought for a moment and said, “I probably know some things!”

“You’ve formally advanced to the Bright Realm now, so you should have some understanding of the differences in realm within the Bright Realm, right?”

Sean was dumbfounded!This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

To tell the truth!

Although he was an authentic Bright Realm powerhouse, he actually didn’t know much about the Bright Realm itself. After all, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the Bright Realm itself was already a near invincible existence. A country would have only one, known as having the makings of an emperor!

As for…

The specifics of how the strong and weak among Bright Realm experts were differentiated, who the hell knew???

“It seems you don’t understand!”

Seeing Sean’s somewhat awkward and confused expression, Sandals immediately understood and took the initiative to explain, “You know that for Dark Energy, from low to high, it’s divided into the four minor realms of early, middle, late, and complete. Breaking into each minor realm brings tremendous growth in strength!”

“The Bright Realm!”

“Is the same!”

“Master once told me and Isabella that the Bright Realm is also divided into four minor realms from low to high – Consolidation, Confluence, Harmonization, Luminescence!”

“A Consolidation cultivator!”

“Refers to when the energy within the core breaks out from the body. Whatever you send out, be it a fist, the energy becomes a fist; a blade, the energy becomes a blade; a sword, the energy becomes a sword… and so on!”

“A Confluence cultivator!”

“Refers to where the sword points, the heart intends. You don’t need to physically send out a fist, blade or sword, as long as in your heart there is a fist, a blade, a sword, then the energy can transform accordingly to your will!”

“A Harmonization cultivator!”

“Refers to the cultivator’s moral character. Oppressing the common people and killing wantonly is one type; caring for the citizens and saving all living beings is another; harboring hatred and acting as one pleases is also a type… As for specifically how to achieve Harmonization and what kind of transformation happens after reaching the Harmonization realm, Master didn’t say, so I don’t know.”

“As for Luminescence…”

“Heh!”

“Master said to look at the entire world, not a single person has attained it. So at least up until now, Harmonization is the limit attainable for cultivators!”

Sandals spoke slowly and thoroughly, explaining it very clearly!

As she spoke!

She exchanged a look with Sean and added, “You’ve just entered the Bright Realm, so naturally you’re at Consolidation. But judging by the power of your fist earlier, thanks to inheriting Master’s bloodline, your Bright Energy is much stronger than ordinary new Bright Realm cultivators!”

“While that scoundrel King Ron!”

“At his peak should have fully attained Consolidation and even touched upon the threshold of Confluence. Back then, if not for Isabella and Cecilia both activating Master’s drop of blood and fighting desperately, I would have had no chance of survival!”

Sean had personally experienced King Ron’s might just a few days ago. If not for his damaged core, and being schemed against by Sean, suffering from the virulent poison, greatly reducing his combat strength, at his peak he could have easily defeated Sean and Cecilia together even if they were unharmed and had activated Liane Field’s blood. Let alone beheading him in the imperial city!

However!

King Ron had previously said bluntly that even at his peak, he didn’t qualify to join the Hall of Jade and become one of their core members!

So!

How strong exactly were those Hall of Jade bastards???

Gritting his teeth!

Sean asked, “Aunt Sandals, do you know roughly what realms those people from the Hall of Jade are at?”
