Chapter 1318: The Position of the Sage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The order was to catch these terrorists alive.

The a.s.sa.s.sins with their escape routes cut off went crazy. They attacked the surrounding army.

They were strong, but the Moon’s Defense Force mobilized this time were the elites of the elites. They even had mecha on standby. They didn’t need everyone alive, just one or two.

However, just when Achilles thought the battle would end smoothly, a sudden change happened. It started with a flash, and a fire started violently from the a.s.sa.s.sins!

Self-immolation!

The scene was unbearable. There were broken limbs everywhere. More than half of the special forces on site were hurt and none of the Saint’s forces survived.

The screen faded and Achilles’ face remained cold. “I should have been there.”

“The Sage’s warning was to ask us to hide. He guessed that we wouldn’t be able to capture any alive, but we just didn’t expect them to be so crazy…” Milo’s face was pale. Their losses were huge this time.

“The problem now is how did they get to the Moon? If they were originally from the Moon, where did they install the bombs on themselves?”

Murderous intent shot out from the eyes of Achilles.

The Doyle family and the higher echelons accepted the proposal from the Sage. Simply put, there was no big dispute within the Moon. First, the Doyle family’s influence remained the same. After two glorious times, the Moon knew that the third time had arrived. The Sage’s teachings were absolute. The Moon and Mars were not in contention for the center. They had to wait for opportunities if they wanted to return to the center.

How would the future be? Achilles didn’t know… w.a.n.g Zheng… This would be a tough ordeal.

Milo shook her head helplessly as she looked at Achilles’s eyes.

Sage Sect, deep in the Saint Mountain.

Lie Xin just had breakfast there when she received intelligence from Achilles. The Saint was indeed crazy. Lie Xin wasn’t afraid in the least. She was eager to fight on the Oracle Star. She was so excited to practice her 265 point Heavenly Blaze Technique, but… she couldn’t go against her master.

“Hey, are you Lie Xin?

A young boy of about two or three years old entered and stared at Lie Xin curiously.

A twelve-year-old girl followed. “Xiao Ya, how many times have I told you not to run about? Senior Lie Xin, Master wishes to see you.”

Lie Xin nodded and looked at Xiao Ya, who seemed strangely familiar to her.

She came to the Sage’s training room and glanced at Sage Odin in meditation. Lie Xin calmed down. She did not have the same arrogance and willfulness as when she was outside. She was just a disciple of the Sage. She stopped behind the Sage and bowed respectfully. She then sat cross-legged quietly.

Time pa.s.sed and the rush and excitement in Lie Xin’s heart gradually faded. The Heavenly Blaze Technique was coming along rather well.

Sage Odin came out of his mediation after some time. “Lie Xin.”

“Yes, Master.” Lie Xin opened her eyes and answered respectfully.

“The inner universe is actually not difficult for an ancient martial arts cultivator to unlock since they have a solid foundation. This is just a matter of understanding. However, the inner universe is different from the true mastery of the original force. The original force was the source of strength of humans.”

“Yes, Master. I feel the power of the Heavenly Blaze Technique. It’s indescribable. Even I’m a little afraid of it,” Lie Xin said respectfully.

“Haha, fear is right. There was only one 265 point cultivation technique in this world. You are now using the second kind. This is a power that can peep into the origin of the universe.” The Sage smiled.

“Master, is the other kind as powerful as mine? I really want to try!” Lie Xin’s fighting spirit was ignited once again.

“La.s.s, the other kind, haha.” Sage peered at the light rain outside the window. The entire world was crazily fighting for the Oracle, there was no need to tell Lie Xin now to distract her.

This 256 Point Blade Technique was an attempt by Mars to get ahead. They tried many times over the past century, all of which ended in failure, except this attempt. However, there was still a gap from the other technique.

Nonetheless, it was worthy of the t.i.tle of the Second Martial Technique in the universe.

“You’ve met with Xiao Ya?”

“Yes.”

“He’s Lie Ya, the son of Lie Guang. The Lie family found him after much effort.”

Buzz… Lie Xin’s calm heart experienced ripples, but she suppressed it quickly. It was clear, though, that a trace of gentleness and grat.i.tude was in her eyes.

This was what Odin wanted. There were all kinds of side effects when dealing with heaven-defying power. It would be ruined easily with one wrong step. That was why he took care to do things step by step, so that Lie Xin was complete. That was also necessary for growth.

“Xiao Ya will be your disciple. Get along well during this period.”

“Yes, this disciple understands. I’ll think of Xiao Ya as my own child, but outside right now…” Lie Xin felt that it wasn’t good to just stay here like this.

“What do you think you can do with your current strength?” Odin asked.

“Master, I’m the successor of the Heavenly Blaze Technique!”

“You can leave whenever you defeat me.” The Sage smiled kindly.

The strongest and most mysterious ability in this world was the ability to prophesize. Who was the strongest then?

Definitely not the A-rank Prophet cla.s.sified by the Saint!

That was just a peeper.

It was the Sage of the Sage Sect on Mars. They had been observing the world silently, protecting Mars and waiting for the third reincarnation.

Mars certainly also had the power of the Saint, but it was within control. Mars didn’t want to have direct conflict with the Saint. After all, the second era used to be their destiny, but it too would pa.s.s. Mars would fight when the time came. Everything was still unclear now.

Lie Xin hesitated. She continued asking about w.a.n.g Zheng this time.

“Master, is the Oracle that the Saint is searching for related to w.a.n.g Zheng?” She would never forget how her master rang twelve bells for him when he first came to Saint Mountain. Lie Xin wasn’t stupid and was also one of the people around w.a.n.g Zheng. This guy was definitely fishy, but what was the problem? Wouldn’t that fulfill the mysterious legends?

“He has something special on him. He might be, or he might just be a sacrifice to bring the Oracle out. The river of life is an illusion, there is nothing fixed. Sometimes, mankind will win against the heavens, and sometimes, mankind would be played by fate.”

Odin paused and continued saying faintly, “However, the river of life is changing. It will never change course if there isn’t a big enough power to intercept it.”

Mars wanted to change its path from this dramatic vortex to save its vital energy, yet they could not lose this chance to rise up.

Even Odin didn’t dare to take Mars’ fate as a chip. If the bet was right, they would be able to weather through. If the bet was wrong, they would break the rules and balance. Neither the Saint nor the current regime would allow Mars to continue existing. That was something even the Sage could do nothing about.

They had to be careful since the route would be chosen by themselves.
