AlJohn was one of the three Red Cloaked Imperial Cardinal from the Holy See. He was very strong on his own and was very prestigious in the Tiger Continent. But, the handsome youth next to him was even more extraordinary. He was the son of Pope, the Heavenly Allegiance Lord Augustus's son. In the Tiger Continent, he was like the proud son of an emperor.
Augustine had obtained the Deity Sword of Light from the God of Light's palace. He also got a Heavenly Cultivation Technique. Now he had already cultivated to the third level of the Spirit King Realm, being known as the number one master in the younger generation of the Tiger Continent.
If Qingfeng Li was here, he would have been shocked. The last time Augustine had tried to marry Alice, Qingfeng Li interrupted the wedding, defeated Augustine and took away his bride. Augustine actually broke through to Spirit King Realm after that.
The mutations of Earth caused the treasures of the western gods to surface, so the strength of the western self-cultivation forces soared. This gave eastern self-cultivation forces tremendous pressure.
AlJohn and Augustine both entered the Holy See. They walked down the stairs until they reached the 18th floor of the High Pagoda, home to the Pope, known as the Pope's Pagoda.
A gray-haired old man was standing on the top of the pagoda, his face full of wrinkles. Although senile, he was full of wisdom. His pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.
"How is cultivation going for you two lately?" the Pope asked.
AlJohn bowed respectfully, with a hint of delight on his face he said, "Pope, your Majesty, I have now cultivated to the second level of the Spirit King Realm. If we meet Qingfeng Li again, I can kill him with a slap."
AlJohn was Albron's brother, and both were part of th eHoly See's Three Cloaked Imperial Cardinals. His brother, Albron, was killed by Qingfeng's father, so AlJohn naturally wanted to get revenge.
Pope smiled and did not speak.
Pope looked to the side at his son and asked, "Augustine, what about you?"
"Pope, your Majesty, I cultivated to the third level of the Spirit King Realm, and also got the Sword of Light from Baldur, the God of Light. Last time Qingfeng Li took away my bride but now my strength has increased. I will be able to kill him," Augustine said with a gloomy face. His voice was full of killing intent.
The Pope knew perfectly well the conflict between Augustine and Qingfeng Li.
Deep inside, Pope also wanted to kill Qingfeng Li. The Tiger Continent's Holy See had a war with the eastern self-cultivators thousands of years ago. The Holy See was defeated and the first Pope died; the Holy See suffered heavy losses.
After thousands of years of rest, the Holy See had finally recovered and became the biggest force in the Tiger Continent's self-cultivator world.
Now that the Gods' relics were reemerging, they had obtained the ancient god's Oracle to use for fighting the eastern self-cultivators again, so that they can steal all their treasures.
The Pope was the manifestation of God's will. Strictly speaking, he was relaying the commands from the God of War and Destruction, Ares. They wanted to instigate the second World War of self-cultivators.
Of course, the God of War also gave the Pope a lot of benefits. He gave the Pope the God of War cultivation technique.
The God of War cultivation technique was a god level cultivation technique, so the Pope was able to use it to reach the fourth level of Spirit King Realm. He also received a godly spiritual device, the Spear of Ares, and a defensive godly spiritual device, Armor of Ares.
"Your Majesty, congratulations on your breakthrough to the fourth level of the Spirit King Realm," Augustine bowed and respectfully said.
Augustine was the Young Master of Heavenly Allegiance, so he was very arrogant in front of others. But, when facing Pope, he was still very respectful.
The Pope smiled and began to say, "Recently, the God of Life's relics surfaced in the northern part of Holy See. The Spring Water of Life is there, so you two should go and recover it."
AlJohn and Augustine nodded, agreeing with the Pope's request.
For the Spring Water of Life, they naturally heard of it as it was the holy spring of the Western world. It could prolong the life of a man. If the God of Life's blessing was added, one will even get eternal longevity.
When he saw the two men leaving, the Pope called out to both, "Wait a minute. Let Uranus go with you."
As the voice faded, a young man in armor came out.
The tall young man had a straight spine, handsome face, and was emitting a strong aura. He was the captain of the Holy Knights, Uranus, and one of the Holy See's super masters.
Uranus also obtained a god's treasure, the God of Thunder's Bead. It could release thunder and lightning and contained enormous power.
Uranus also received a Flower of Youth, which allowed him to go back twenty years in time, turning him into a handsome young man.
Uranus agreed to the Pope's request. Then, he left Pope's pagoda with the two and headed for the northern part of Holy See, where the Spring Water of Life was located.
-Augustus' home, the Heavenly Allegiance headquarters-
In the huge underground palace, Augustus stood alone in the middle of the lonely palace.
Augustus, dressed in a black robe, was pale and exuded a cold breath, holding in his hands a black book with four words, "Book of the Dead".
Augustus placed his palm on top of Book of the Dead as he read an ancient mantra. It was a spell from the "Book of the Dead". He could summon the souls and skeletons from hell, and could even reanimate dead people.
"Black Dragon Patriarch, Black Drake Patriarch, Crocodile Patriarch, Spider Patriarch …" Augustus read the names of the souls he wanted to summon from hell.
A moment later, Black Dragon Patriarch and Black Drake Patriarch climbed out from the ground. They were expressionless with dark eyes and a dark face, exuding a strange cold aura.
If Qingfeng Li was here, he would be taken aback. Qingfeng Li had already killed Black Dragon Patriarch and Crocodile patriarch when he snatched Alice in the wedding. However, they were now resurrected, which simply defied the laws of nature.
Of course, these resurrected were not real humans. They were soulless, being only a corpse. They had no mind of their own and were just controlled by Augustus with the Book of the Dead.
"Spring Water of Life, I'm coming," Augustus said with a cold laughter, holding the Book as he took the undead army around him and walked out of the Heavenly Allegiance headquarters. They went towards God of Life's historical remains.
At the Tiger Continent, besides Holy See's Pope and Heavenly Allegiance Lord Augustus, there were many super-forces such as the Sea Gods Allegiance's Lord Poseidon, the House of Wisdom's Lord Uris, and the Blood Vampire Queen Camilla of the Blood Clan. They all headed towards God of Life's historical remains.
In order to get the Spring Water of Life, the entire Tiger Continent was in chaos.
Qingfeng Li knew nothing about what was happening in the Tiger Continent. Qingfeng Li took the flight to Paris, France. Just over a dozen hours later, he was picked up by Bernard.
"Wolf King Highness, you're here," Bernard bowed to Qingfeng Li and respectfully said.
As a servant of Qingfeng Li, Bernard was very respectful of Qingfeng Li. You could say he even worshipped Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li faintly smiled and said, "Bernard, I want you to prepare the Tiger Continent map, and information on self-cultivator forces. Can you gather them for me?"
