Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Exactly!” Madden Oneal nodded.

“Lord Madden, you don’t plan to give us the map and the solution, do you?” Vermilion Bird asked.

“That’s precisely my intention!” Madden Oneal smiled again.

“Why?” Vermilion Bird pressed.

“On one hand, to thank you all for your great kindness today!” Madden Oneal replied.

After a brief pause, he looked at Billy and continued, “Mr. Billy, to be honest, those two items are not easy to obtain. I just want Mr. Billy to give it a try!”

“What do you mean?” White Tiger couldn’t help but ask.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Those two items were obtained by a former city lord of Maga City by chance!” Madden Oneal continued.

“He left a soul imprint in the ancient tomb, and those two items exist within his soul imprint.”

“The people of the Great Blue Star Domain always thought they were physical objects. What they don’t know is that even if they occupy the ancient tomb, they can’t get them if the Ancestor doesn’t want them to.”

“Your Ancestor is really cunning!” Judge couldn’t help but comment.

Everyone from the City Lord’s Mansion: “…”

“The Ancestor warned us that if there were no outstanding talents among the descendants of Maga Star, we shouldn’t think about those two items. Otherwise, even if we got them, it would only bring disaster!”

Madden Oneal’s lips twitched slightly before he continued, “Over the years, many city lords before me brought talented descendants into the ancient tomb, but none passed the Ancestor’s test.”

“So you want my Boss to give it a try?” Azure Dragon asked.

“Exactly!” Madden Oneal nodded.

“Mr. Billy is a once-in-a-millennium genius with extraordinary talent. He might gain the Ancestor’s approval!”

“If my Boss gets those two items, you won’t force him to return them, right?” Judge asked.

“You must be joking!” Madden Oneal’s lips twitched again.

“If Mr. Billy can truly gain the Ancestor’s approval, those two items will naturally belong to Mr. Billy as our way of repaying him for saving our lives today!”

“Let’s go take a look!” Billy nodded after a brief thought.

“Mr. Billy, please follow me!” Madden Oneal said and led everyone towards the door.

About fifteen minutes later, they landed in a valley behind the City Lord’s Mansion.

Billy and his group could clearly sense several strong presences around the valley, obviously the tomb guardians.

Then, Madden Oneal raised his hand and formed a mysterious seal, sending it towards the right side.

Soon, a medium-sized cave appeared within their sight.

“Mr. Billy, inside is the Ancient Tomb Secret Realm. I’ll take you in shortly!”

Madden Oneal pointed towards the cave entrance and then looked at Harleen and Ivy.

“If I’m not mistaken, you two ladies possess Crystal Spirit Physique?”

He had known this from the first glance at them and was quite shocked at the time.

He could also sense the special nature of Billy’s physique but couldn’t fully determine what it was.

“Exactly!” Harleen and Ivy smiled and nodded.

There was no point in hiding it, and it couldn’t be hidden anyway.

“Your potential is far from fully tapped!” Madden Oneal pointed to an elderly man in ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm. “If you trust me, I’ll have Elder Yun help you both!”

“Harleen, Ivy, thank Lord Madden!” Billy smiled.

“Thank you, Lord Madden!” Harleen and Ivy bowed in response.

“No need to be polite!” Madden Oneal then looked at the elderly martial artist. “Elder Yun, please assist them!”

“A small matter!” Elder Yun said and then turned to Harleen and Ivy. “Please follow me!”

He then led them away into the air.

“You have a very special physique with boundless potential!” After Harleen and Ivy left, Madden Oneal looked at Casey.

“But I can’t help you much here, I’m sorry!”

“No need to apologize!” Casey responded with a faint smile.

His physique was already unusual, and after merging with the soul of the Demon Blade, it became even more special.

Even if someone wanted to help him, they couldn’t; he could only wait for an opportunity.

“Elder Crew, take Mr. Billy’s companions to the storeroom.” Madden Oneal then looked at an elderly man in eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.

“Let them each choose some resources and find a place for them to train. Help them during the process.”

“Understood!” The elder nodded.

“Thank you, Lord Madden!” Casey and Azure Dragon’s group bowed in thanks.

“No need to be polite, it’s a small matter!” Madden Oneal smiled and then looked at Billy. “Mr. Billy, please!”

“Thank you, Lord Madden!” Billy nodded in response.

A few minutes later, they entered the cave.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Billy’s eyes lit up.

In front of him was an enormous space that seemed endless. It was filled with a light mist that affected visibility to some extent.

Everywhere he looked, there were neatly arranged tombstones, making the entire space feel somewhat eerie.

Billy tried releasing his spiritual power but wasn’t surprised when it was also limited here, extending only about a kilometer.

They continued walking until they reached a stone staircase with about a hundred steps.

Billy noticed that on the platform at the top of the stairs stood four wooden men holding wooden swords.

Not far behind them in mid-air floated an uncovered stone coffin.

Even from the bottom of the stairs, Billy could faintly feel the chilling aura emanating from the stone coffin.

“Mr. Billy, the Ancestor’s soul imprint is in that stone coffin!” Madden Oneal pointed to the top of the stairs.

“To gain the Ancestor’s approval, you must pass three tests!”

“First is climbing these hundred steps. Second is defeating those four wooden men. The final test is gaining the Ancestor’s personal approval.”

“I understand!” Billy nodded slightly.

“The most talented genius from Maga Star before couldn’t pass the second test,” Madden Oneal continued.

“Lord Madden, haven’t you tried it yourself?” Billy asked.

“It wouldn’t matter if I passed the first two tests!” Madden Oneal shook his head.

“Why?” Billy asked again.

“The Ancestor left instructions that gaining his approval isn’t about one’s current level but about their potential future growth!” Madden Oneal explained.

“In other words, the Ancestor values talent and potential over current skills!”

“In martial arts, once you’re past forty or fifty years old, your future growth can be predicted.”

“And given my current strength, I clearly haven’t met the Ancestor’s expectations.”

“Alright then,” Billy replied.

Madden Oneal was in the late stage of ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm yet wasn’t deemed worthy by their Ancestor. The requirements of Maga City’s Ancestor were extraordinarily high!
