After the shock had dissipated, Cathie Lawson slowly exhaled and looked at Jack Clark with fiery eyes, “I didn’t expect that little brother Jack once had such astonishing battle achievements.”
Jack Clark shook his head, “Actually, I was also somewhat lucky to win at that time. If the Akunus Avatar had persisted for a little while longer, I might not have been able to hold on and would have burst out and lost first.”
Jack Clark was indeed not being modest. His Emperor Dragon Form at the time was powerful, but it could only burst for a few minutes.
However, no one believed in his modesty anymore, as Cathie Lawson and the others had been shocked several times already that half a day.
This guy was a monster.
At that moment, Cathie Lawson became very serious, “It’s obvious that little brother Jack, with his unequaled talent, has already been targeted by the Purgatory Demon Race, and it’s of the highest bounty kind.”
“Under such circumstances, the reaction of Charles Klein to the name ‘Darren Callum’ being somewhat abnormal is indeed suspicious.”
“Of course, as older generation cultivators, we cannot ignore their past contributions, and we cannot jump to conclusions without evidence.”
Jack Clark nodded, “Naturally, I also just feel that his reaction was a bit odd.”
“Whether it’s a human or a ghost, if we follow up and see, we’ll know. If he truly has a problem, he will certainly be unable to wait to pass the message on.”
“Otherwise, if we deal with those mountain giants and leave, it will be even harder to grasp Brother Callum’s exact movements.”
“However, if Charles Klein does have a problem, Neal Welch cannot be excluded from suspicion either, so we need to split our forces in two directions.”
“Captain, you four take one path, pretend to go and investigate the situation of the mountain giants, and in places with cameras, one or two of you can expose yourselves to stabilize Neal Welch.”
“As for Brother Callum and me, we will follow up to avoid any mistakes.”
“Okay, just be careful when the time comes. High-Ranking Powerhouses’ Spirit Qi resonates with Heaven and Earth, and they have keen perception, so it’s best to maintain a distance of more than one kilometer.”
After briefly discussing the situation, the group vanished into the night in two separate teams.
Among them, Jack Clark and Hannah Gail were enveloped under the Dark Curtain, blending into the darkness of the forest, moving without a sound.
This special ability from the Void Double Pupils might not enhance combat strength, but it was extremely convenient in this kind of situation.
Within the range of Jack Clark’s control, he concealed his presence, erased fluctuations, and at the same time, increased the density of darkness in front of him, forming a layer of black veil that prevented their vision from penetrating.
In that situation, unless it was someone like Jack Clark, who had cultivated Heart’s Eye and was sensitive to vision, even high-level cultivators like Charles Klein would not detect anything unusual.
To be honest, Jack Clark was also somewhat surprised by today’s discovery.
His original plan was to familiarize himself with the situation and, after finishing this ‘small task,’ activate the Sea Illusion Demon Skill to transform his life aura and change his appearance to explore deeper into the mythical world.
Little did he know he would catch a big fish upon his arrival.
Actually, when he was on the fighter aircraft and heard Hannah Gail mention that the person in charge of this mine was an older cultivator, Jack Clark became suspicious.
It was because during his time at Base No.1, he had specifically looked at some information on traitors.
Those documents mentioned that in recent years, the majority of traitors were older generation cultivators who saw no progress in their advancements, with their cultivation stagnating for a long time.
Since the start of the New Era, with the development of the era, except for a few exceptional geniuses, the aptitude for cultivation among each generation has been getting better and better with the changes of the times.
This phenomenon is akin to biological Evolution, as under the increasingly dense Heavenly Energy, each new generation’s genes are more in tune with cultivation than the previous one.
This is also why the number of people with cultivation talent has been increasing over the years.
Many of those who had cultivation talent in the past actually had just about the same talent level as the ordinary geniuses at the school now, like Sawyer Levin and Vera Wada.
Therefore, after spending twenty to thirty years in arduous cultivation to reach the high-order, their strength would hardly improve anymore.
The mid-stage of the Seventh Layer Heaven, the late period of that realm, something Jack Clark could cross at will, would take them years to break through.
And for the Major Realm breakthrough from the Seventh Layer Heaven to the Eight Layer Heaven, due to an incompatible true martial arts phantom, they could get stuck for a decade, or even for life.
Although they were putting in a lot of effort into cultivation, and the Heavenly Energy in the mythical world was incredibly dense, the path of cultivation is not simply about piling up energy but the transformation of a person into a god-like being.
Each realm represents a metamorphosis, a qualitative leap, and a change in the structure of one’s power.
So, when the pace of cultivation slowed down drastically or even stalled, many high-level cultivators would become desperate, unable to accept it.
Accustomed to powerful strength and having witnessed the higher level of power where a king could destroy Heaven and Earth with a simple gesture, anyone would yearn for such power.
Under these circumstances, the more selfish and extreme individuals may choose betrayal, enticed by the Evil God Sect or the Purgatory Demon Race.
All they needed to do was to trade some seemingly trivial information to receive resources far beyond their current realms, forcing their cultivation to advance once more.
In fact, the Human Federation also has some of these top-tier, God-level, even rule resources, but they are limited in number and need to be provided to those with better talent and greater contributions to the Federation.
Of course, this is not to say all older generation cultivators are untrustworthy. Over the years, there have also been many talented individuals who have betrayed after entering the battlefield; it’s just that the proportion of such cases is much smaller.
After all, in a big forest, you’ll find all kinds of birds.
…
Once out of the mine, Charles Klein swept past the areas with cameras as if patrolling around them, and slowly made his way deep into the pitch-black forest of the mountains.
