[I… I swear… I was only following orders… All those artifacts… they don't belong to our family.]

The recording echoed throughout Malora City.

"With irrefutable proof of internal betrayal, a systemic failure to maintain spiritual stability, and irreparable damage to their reputation, the Malora Cultivator's Council hereby officially revokes the Bramasta family's status as a major clan."

The Council Head's voice was cold and emotionless, resonating through the silent assembly hall. A wooden gavel struck three times, each strike a final nail in the coffin of a dynasty. In the grand hall, representatives from the other families watched in silence. Some hid satisfied smiles, others maintained neutral expressions, but everyone understood the meaning of this verdict.

The Bramasta family's assets would be frozen, their territories contested, and their name erased from the great ledger of Malora's rulers. It was a political execution, carried out with the cold precision of a hangman. In his se

    Rayden leaned forward, now completely drawn into the Elder's narrative. His skeptical aura had vanished, replaced by a pure, raw intensity and curiosity. The teacup before him was long, cold, untouched."A third function?" he asked, his voice low but urgent. "What else can that cursed thing do?"The Grand Elder of the Altair clan smiled faintly, the smile of someone who had successfully captured his opponent's full attention. He glanced around the simple stone room, as if to ensure the walls themselves had no ears, before leaning closer. His voice dropped to a whisper filled with the echoes of history."A function that almost everyone in this world has forgotten," he said. "A function whose information you will not find in any sect's library. Its records exist only in the most ancient of textual fragments, guarded with the lives of families as old as our own."He paused, letting the weight of that secrecy settle in the air."You, and everyone who covets the crystal—including Lord Drag

    "Touching the sky?" Rayden repeated, his amber eyes narrowing with skepticism. He was not one to be swayed by beautiful words. "That's just a poetic metaphor for power."The Grand Elder of the Altair clan shook his head slowly, his expression turning gravely serious. "No, young man. I am speaking literally," he replied, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "The second property of the Eternal Pulse Crystal is what every true cultivator covets most. It drastically enhances its owner's spiritual sensitivity to an unimaginable degree.""For an ordinary practitioner, the laws of the universe—the Dao—are a thick book written in a language they cannot understand. They need a lifetime just to translate a single page. For a genius, the book might have a few pictures to help. But for the owner of this crystal…"The Elder paused, his eyes glinting. "It is as if the book whispers its secrets directly into their soul.""An ordinary genius might need years to comprehend a single law of the sword," h

    The pressure inside the room grew heavier. Rayden's cold, sharp question hung in the air, demanding an answer."Something inside my mother's body? Stop being evasive, old man. Tell me what he wanted."The Grand Elder of the Altair clan was not intimidated. He simply picked up his teacup with a slow, deliberate motion, sipping it gently before placing it back down with a soft clink of porcelain. The gesture was a statement: I control the flow of this conversation."You are impatient, young man. Just like your father," he said, his tone flat. "And that impatience can be dangerous." He sighed, as if the name he was about to speak carried the weight of history. "The object is known in the most secret of ancient texts as the Eternal Pulse Crystal. Lord Dragon has been hunting it his entire life for its properties, which fundamentally defy the laws of nature."Rayden remained silent, waiting."Let me paint you a picture," the Elder continued, his eyes distant. "Imagine a Grandmaster at the

    Rayden let out a soft laugh. It wasn't a warm or amused sound, but a cold, humorless noise that seemed to freeze the air around him. He stared directly into the depths of the Grand Elder's eyes, completely unmoved by the old man's dramatic statement."Victims?" he asked, each syllable pronounced with a sharp edge. "An interesting word, coming from the mouth of a snake that just tried to swallow me whole."The Elder was not deterred by the sarcasm. He sipped his tea with a calm motion, as if they were discussing the weather. "A snake only strikes when it feels its nest is threatened," he countered with irrefutable logic. "And you, young man, are the greatest threat Malora has seen in the last fifty years. My actions were a reaction, not an aggression."He put down his cup. "You are seeing this game all wrong. You think you have come and defeated three petty kings. You are mistaken."Rayden remained silent, one eyebrow slightly raised, inviting the old man to continue."You must underst

    The peaceful silence within the subterranean base was palpable, a rare gift that Rayden was savoring quietly. He was just about to turn from the doorway, leaving the women inside to their discussion, when the air around him suddenly grew cold. It wasn't the cold of stone, but a cold that pierced the soul.Lyra, who had been leaning in the shadows, instantly straightened. Her hand moved like a flash to the hilt of her knife, her sharp silver eyes narrowing toward the dark main entrance.Rayden didn't need to ask. He felt it too. Someone had passed through all their layers of protective formations without triggering a single one.In the midst of the suffocating silence, Lyra's voice was a deadly whisper right beside Rayden."He's here."Mireya's and Alesia's breath caught in their throats."Not an envoy," Lyra continued, her eyes fixed on the darkness at the end of the corridor. "The old serpent himself."And from that darkness, a figure stepped into the dim light of the base. The Grand

    Holding onto the arm of her chair to support her still-trembling body, Kara managed to stand tall for ten full seconds—an achievement that felt like a miracle. She looked out the window at the streets of Malora City, which now seemed orderly and calm under the evening sky."Look, Rayden," she said, a sincere smile reaching her eyes for the first time. "This city is beginning to find its peace under your control."Rayden, who was standing nearby watching over her, simply gave a slow nod. He carefully helped Kara sit back down. The woman's progress was incredible. Every day, her strength returned bit by bit, and the light of the genius that had been extinguished for so long was beginning to shine once more.After making sure Kara was resting, Rayden walked out of her room. He strode down the corridors of the subterranean base, which had once felt so cold and empty. But now, the place had changed.He passed a room that had been converted into a modern office. Inside, Mireya was in the mi
