Lord Of Martial Arts

"Yes, the place has countless talented cultivators of human race. That includes those holy warriors who have survived the tribulations. All their goal is the same, to become a holy emperor," Chandler explained.

"But Lord Donald once told me that the eighteen cities are places for breaking through to the Holy Realm. It is said that if one couldn't achieve the realm, he wouldn't be allowed to leave the place," Darren said. He looked puzzled.

"Those are all lies! They spread those lies to the outside world on purpose. After all, the place is so vital. It could easily attract the attention of evil and unfriendly eyes and not just those who are talented. Do you understand?" Chandler said in an alarming tone.

"I understand," Darren nodded.

"Have you decided to make a journey for the eighteen cities?" Chandler asked.

"Of course I have. This is a rare chance that I should not throw away," Darren answered, delighted with getting such a precious opportunity for the betterment of his skills. In addition to learning greater and better skill of cultivation methods, he could also encounter talented folks that he had never seen or heard before. Darren's heart was burning hot with thrill with the thought of all the bright possibilities that lay ahead.

"It is settled then. I'll arrange your trip in a few months," Chandler said, looking very pleased with Darren's enthusiasm. Once Darren consented, Chandler knew that he had to proceed with the application process right away. He presumed that the whole preparation would take at least half a year. He understood that Darren was now in a hurry to rush towards the eighteen cities. So he advised Darren to stay patient and wait for further notices.

just yet! I believe there is another way. No one but you can get close to it," Darren appeased Scott.

"True," Scott muttered as his heart eased a little. Scott proposed a toast to Darren and they emptied their glasses immediately.

"About your bloodline, Darren. I remember that your blood is pure too. Why don't you give it a shot?" The thought suddenly occurred to Scott.

"I don't think I can do it. My blood is not as pure as you thought. I was able to turn into a dragon because I absorbed the bloodline of that flood dragon at first. After that, I was only able to get the dragon bloodline with your help and the plants in the Fire Cave. After many twists and turns, I think my blood has become impure," Darren said.

"It doesn't matter. If you have time, let's go together and try it out. It won't do you any harm to try," Scott advised.

"Maybe. Let's talk about it later. I have other pressing things to attend to right now. The nasty folks of the Space-time Palace have been trying to hunt me down. I need to get rid of them first," Darren said.

He narrowed his eyes and a fierce killing intent shone in both of them.
