Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 865

"Yes, the place has countless talented cultivators of human race. That includes those holy warriors who have survived the tribulations. All their goal is the same, to become a holy emperor," Chandler explained.

"But Lord Donald once told me that the eighteen cities are places for breaking through to the Holy Realm. It is said that if one couldn't achieve the realm, he wouldn't be allowed to leave the place," Darren said. He looked puzzled.

"Those are all lies! They spread those lies to the outside world on purpose. After all, the place is so vital. It could easily attract the attention of evil and unfriendly eyes and not just those who are talented. Do you understand?" Chandler said in an alarming tone.

"I understand," Darren nodded.

"Have you decided to make a journey for the eighteen cities?" Chandler asked.

"Of course I have. This is a rare chance that I should not throw away," Darren answered, delighted with getting such a precious opportunity for the betterment of his skills. In addition to learning greater and better skill of cultivation methods, he could also encounter talented folks that he had never seen or heard before. Darren's heart was burning hot with thrill with the thought of all the bright possibilities that lay ahead.

"It is settled then. I'll arrange your trip in a few months," Chandler said, looking very pleased with Darren's enthusiasm. Once Darren consented, Chandler knew that he had to proceed with the application process right away. He presumed that the whole preparation would take at least half a year. He understood that Darren was now in a hurry to rush towards the eighteen cities. So he advised Darren to stay patient and wait for further notices.

Darren left that special room.

"Darren," Scott called. He had been waiting outside all this time.

"My friend, it's such a rare chance to see each other again. What do you say we spend some time together? Let's have some drink!" Scott invited. Darren smiled back at Scott.

"Sure, let's have a drink! I bet you brought good wine!"

They flew into the void space and began drinking, talking about their experiences.

"Scott, I think your cultivation base has improved since we parted. Tell me how far it has gotten!" Darren asked as he relished his drink.

Scott was sitting quietly in the air, his legs floating and his wine in front of him. "My strength is now on par with the senior holy warrior you have killed earlier," Scott said. He wore a gloomy expression and looked out into the distance.

"Awesome!" Darren complimented before he could catch the tension of Scott's face. "It seems that you have been through a lot of adventures. But you don't look very pleased with your achievements. Why?" They were close friends. Darren wouldn't hesitate to ask questions like those.
