Ignoring the Outside World

If they knew the ability of the Skill Orb that he had obtained ...

The identity of the Black Emperor.

That would be a direct battle to the death.

Even if not,

The Dao Sect knew of his identity as King Shenwu, so they could not let him continue watching. They could not go against the aristocratic families.

Moreover, there might be one of the nine monsters in the Taoist Faction, sitting high above the clouds and overlooking all living beings.

Thus, he had to hurry up and read as much as he could on Innerheart Island before he was discovered.

Hatred!

Hatred!

Hatred!

He hated himself for being too weak and lacking in strength.

Thoughts flew through his mind.

He suppressed his emotions quietly.

He quietly and attentively read the ancient book, not distracted at all. Even when someone stood beside him, he only moved to the side to make room.

The visiting Adept Water Count couldn't help but nod inwardly.
