With a doubtful expression on his face, he regarded the young man in front of him and said, “First and foremost,
what information do you have?”
“My information is unquestionably priceless. I need a jade token. If you give me that, this information is yours,” said
the young man.
The Omniscient Deity said indifferently, “The Jade Sect has no rule requiring the jade token to be given first. First,
tell me what you know. I’ll give it to you if I determine that it’s worthwhile. If I don't think it's worth it, I'll give you
something else in exchange.”
The Jade Sect had the best intelligence network in the entire world because it made deals with ancient martial
artists. If they had valuable information, the Jade Sect would reward them with a jade token. Those who had a jade
token could make a request to the Jade Sect.
With the exception of murder and arson, the Jade Sect would agree to anything for this request. The Jade Sect
would then share the information they had gathered and let others carry out this request.
The young man in front of him was a member of the Blithe family.
“I know the origins of the Blithe family,” he said softly.
“I’m listening,” said the Omniscient Deity nonchalantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Blithe family member spoke in a lowered voice, “The Blithe family dates back to the reign of King Quavon. At
the time, in order to achieve immortality, King Quavon sent the national official Finnegan Xanthos out to sea to look
for the Elixir of Life. Finnegan came across a phoenix. They fought it, but only a few people survived.
“The Blithe family’s ancestor was one of the survivors.
“Finnegan claimed that the phoenix’s blood could be used to achieve immortality, so King Quavon forged a sword
and even developed a sword technique. He intended to kill the phoenix, but up until his passing, he never actually
did so.
“The Primordial Sword, as well as the First Sword Art, are currently in King Quavon's Mausoleum.
“Back then, the Blithe family's ancestor worked as a foreman for the mausoleum's construction. He knew he was
going to die, and that he'd be buried alive in the mausoleum. That's why just before his death, he secretly copied
the map showing the location of the traps in King Quavon's Mausoleum.
“Winston, the Grand Patriarch of my family, has recently passed away. On his deathbed, he gave the Patriarch,
Donovan, all the powers he had gathered over the course of his life.
“The Patriarch has found the floor plan for the traps in King Quavon's Mausoleum. He's already leading people
there.
“Is my information valuable enough to merit a jade token, Lord Omniscient?”
The Omniscient Deity was listening intently. After he finished listening, he nodded. “Mhm. This information is worth a
jade token indeed.” As he spoke, he took out a jade token casually and handed it over.
The Blithe family member accepted it and said with a lowered voice, “You can’t leak this information, my lord, or
else I’m dead.”
“Heh. You can rest easy. The Jade Sect is still standing because we value trust. We never sell information about our
sources. Now that you have a jade token in your possession, you can make a single request to the Jade Sect to do
anything.”
“I’ll take my leave, then. We can talk about the request later.”
The Blithe family member left with the jade token.
After he left, the Omniscient Deity started to ponder.
‘The Dragonslayer, which is associated with dragons, showed up. And now there's even information about the
phoenix. It appears that chaos is on its way.
‘King Quavon's Mausoleum and the First Sword Art?’
He was lost in his thoughts.
After some time, he muttered to himself, “James should be very interested in this information. Looks like I need to
take a trip to the Capital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith his hands behind his back, he left with a stride.
During the past few days, James did not bother with the outside world. Besides making babies with Thea, he was
also studying Polaris Sword Art.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was knocking from outside the door.
After putting the Primordial Dragon Blade away, James stood up to open the door.
At the doorway stood a man in a white robe who appeared to be very young but had some white hair.
For a brief moment, James was stunned. Then he asked, "Lord Omniscient, why are you here?"
The visitor was the Omniscient Deity.
"I have information that you'll definitely want to know, so I've come specifically to work with you?" said the
Omniscient Deity with a grin.
“Oh, really?” James looked unconvinced. “Come in first,” he said.
He welcomed the Omniscient Deity into the courtyard and led him into the house.
“Honey, is there a guest?” Thea walked out of the room. When she saw that it was the Omniscient Deity, she also
called out, “Lord Omniscient.”
“You're too polite, Sect Leader,” the Omniscient Deity said with a quick wave. “You shouldn't call me ‘Lord’. I'm not
worthy of that.”
