At the summit of the Bead Peak, snow and wind ruled the sky.
Yet, two figures stood resolute.
They were the Venerable Master and Master Barker.
“Secret Sect’s people have already reached the foot of the Bead Peak,” Master Barker remarked, his face impassive as he gazed into the distance, informing the Venerable Master.
Although the top of the Bead Peak was far from its base, and a fierce blizzard raged between heaven and earth.
Yet, for a cultivator like Master Barker, peering down at the base of the Bead Peak was no hard feat.
A cold smile tugged at the Venerable Master’s lips. “Once they ascend the Bead Peak, their journey will become a one–way ticket,” he said coolly.
Master Barker nodded, clearly sharing the belief that those from the Secret Sect were merely marching towards their doom.
His expression then turned serious. “Venerable Master,” he said, “this time I went to the Bead Peak, aside from my mission to retrieve the beauty from Snowenia for the sect master.
“There’s another matter Sect Master wants me to relay. He requests you to handle something on his behalf.”
Hearing this, reverence flashed across the Venerable Master’s face. “Please, Master Barker, what else does the sect master command of me?” he inquired.
“From the Ruins of True Energy, where the eighty–one Cultivation Sects reside, the sect master received word that in Eldoria, a leader from the Dragon Sect has been sweeping through the Devil Realm, even defeating the eighty–one Cultivation Sects,” explained Master Barker.
“What? Overrunning the Devil Realm and crushing the eighty–one Cultivation Sects in the Ruins of True Energy?” The Venerable Master’s face was painted with shock.
The Venerable Master was one of the few in the martial world who knew that the Cultivation Realm still existed.
The Ruins of True Energy were one of the seventy–two ruins in the Cultivation Realm, home to seventy–two Cultivation Sects and millions of cultivators.
The Devil Realm was an even more terrifying existence, under the Devil Emperor’s rule, its vast army of cultivators inspiring fear in all who heard of them.
Yet, Master Barker spoke of a Dragon Sect leader from Eldoria who had not only swept through the Devil Realm but also shattered the eighty–one Cultivation Sects in the Ruins of True Energy.
This was simply staggering to the Venerable Master.
It took the Venerable Master a long while to recover, and he looked at Master Barker, exclaiming, “Are you telling me there’s someone in this world so formidable, they’re like a deity incarnate?”
Master Barker simply smiled. “Venerable Master, the day will come when you step into the ranks of the cultivators, and you’ll see all of this is real.
“You’ll understand just how earth–defying those titans of the Cultivation Realm truly are.”
A look of longing appeared in the Venerable Master’s eyes.

After a moment, he asked Master Barker, “If this Dragon Sect leader is so terrifyingly powerful, does that mean they’re invincible? Even the sacred sect master of Glace can’t handle him?
“Even the sacred sect master of Glace can’t handle him?”
With a smile, Master Barker replied, “You’ve hit the nail on the head.”
“Indeed, the sect master is wary of this Dragon Sect leader, who managed to snatch the Royal Dragon Egg from the hands of those in the Devil Realm.”
“The Royal Dragon Egg?” the Venerable Master gasped in further shock. “Could it be the legendary egg that’s said to confer unchallenged rule over the Cultivation Realm?”
Master Barker nodded. “Precisely, that very same Royal Dragon Egg.”
He said, “The sect master also highly doubts that there’s anyone in the Cultivation Realm who could, single–handedly, sweep through the Devil Realm and the eighty–one Cultivation Sects in the Ruins of True Energy.
“So, the sect master suspects that the leader of the Dragon Sect is alarmingly powerful, likely due to the power of the Royal Dragon Egg.”

Understanding dawned on the Venerable Master. The Dragon Sect’s leader’s formidable strength was due to the legendary Royal Dragon Egg’s power.
Then he asked Master Barker, “What does the sect master wish for me to do?”
Master Barker responded, “You’ve established your dominion over Snowenia, so the sect master hopes you can send people to the central region of Eldoria, to secretly gather information on the Dragon Sect’s leader and the Royal Dragon Egg.
“The sect master wants the Royal Dragon Egg, and he certainly doesn’t want to be threatened by such a fearsome potential rival.
“The sect master wishes to ascend as a cultivator, to become the
Supreme ruler.”
The Venerable Master nodded in understanding.
The sect master wanted him to uncover the Dragon Sect leader’s secrets and locate the Royal Dragon Egg.
And after that. The sect master would make his move for the Royal Dragon Egg, eliminating the overly powerful Dragon Sect leader who now posed an invisible threat.
Above all, the sect master craved the Royal Dragon Egg to reign supreme over the Cultivation Realm.
Therefore, the mission, the sect master gave to the Venerable Master, was the
most dangerous one in the world.
Because the leader of the Dragon Sect was such a horrible person.
If they wanted to investigate his background and the whereabouts of the Royal Dragon Egg, they could lose their lives in a matter of minutes.
Despite the danger, the Venerable Master dared not refuse,
Defying the sect master’s orders would mean Master Barker could end his life then and there.
“Please inform the sect master that I will carry out his orders, even if it costs me my life,” the Venerable Master responded with due reverence to Master Barker.
Upon hearing these words, Master Barker nodded with satisfaction. “It seems that the sect master didn’t misjudge you. I’m relieved to hear that.”

At the top of the Bead Peak, the Venerable Master and Master Barker were talking.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the Bead Peak, thousands of masters from the Secret Sect had gathered.
Thousands of masters had gathered here before, including Kean, Maria, Gilmore, Lilian, Landen, Mack, and so on.
Kean, his eyes flashing with determination, stared up at the Bead Peak. “The Venerable Master, you and Ashley conspired against me, leaving me severely wounded six months ago. Today, we ascend the mountain to exact our revenge,” he vowed.
Turning to the gathered Secret Sect master, Kean said, “We are at the foot of the Bead Peak, about to make our ascent.
“Today, we must eliminate the Venerable Master to bring peace back to Snowenia and ensure our Secret Sect’s triumph.”
Kean’s voice barely faded when the Secret Sect masters began chanting, “Down with the Venerable Master!”
“Eliminate him!!”
Thousands of Secret Sect masters shouted through the wind and snow, shaking the iceberg.
It could be said to be magnificent!
“Secret Sect could never defeat the Venerable Master!” A discordant voice came about.
This made the thousands of Secret Sect masters suddenly stop shouting, and they all looked at the person who said this.
Then, they saw that the person who said this was Alistair, who was escorted by two masters of the Secret Sect.
Alistair sneered. He looked at all the masters of the Secret Sect as if he were looking at a ridiculous person.
Kean’s brow furrowed, anger sparking in his eyes. “Alistair, you dare undermine Secret Sect’s morale at such a crucial
moment.
“As we’re about to the Bead Peak, your death will serve as an offering to the heavens, ensuring our victory.”
After that, Kean looked at the two Secret Sect masters who escorted Alistair and ordered, “Take Alistair up and kill him. Worship the gods with his blood and win the battle.”
The two Secret Sect masters nodded and immediately escorted Alistair forward.
“Let me go, let me go!” Alistair struggled with all his might.

However, his martial arts had been abolished, and he could not get rid of the iron palm of Secret Sect masters.
The two Secret Sect masters forced Alistair to kneel on the ground.
Swish!
A Secret Sect master pulled out the sharp machete from the sheath, raised it high, and was about to cut off Alistair’s neck.
Alistair’s face turned ashen. “Don’t kill me! I have important information to tell you!”
As the blade swooped down, it seemed certain that Alistair’s head would roll, severed by the curved knife in the hands of the Secret Sect master.
But then, a voice rang out, “Stop!”
The Secret Sect master wielding the knife froze.
The blade halting just inches from Alistair’s neck. It could be said that his life was hanging by a thread.

Cold sweat, thick as peas, beaded on Alistair’s forehead.
He seemed to have been drained of all strength and took quite a while to regain his composure.
Kean strode up to him and said in a cold voice, “What important information do you have for us?”
Indeed, it had been Kean who had shouted for the halt.
Alistair looked at Kean and said, “Mr. Gould, when I said that your Secret Sect is no match for the Venerable Master, I didn’t mean any disrespect.
“You must not be aware, Mr. Gould, that not only is the Venerable Master formidable on his own, but he also has the sect master backing him.
“You stand no chance against the sect master, so my advice is to leave this place at once. Going up to the Bead Peak is a death
sentence.”
The Holy Sect Master?
