Even a supreme powerhouse cannot live for more than ten thousand years; perhaps Grace Brooks has long since become nothing but a beautiful skeleton, turned to dust.

Ethan Clark seemed to see an incomparably beautiful woman, her face haggard, filled with longing for the person in the painting, and thus composed this poem.

What kind of situation was that?

Thinking of this, Ethan Clark couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart.

"Grace Brooks, I will definitely find you. Even if the heavens have taken you away, I will snatch you back from their hands. Wait for me—wait for me to reach the peak, to ascend to the divine realm. I will definitely find you!"

Ethan Clark murmured to himself, his gaze growing ever sharper.

Hiss!

Finally, he pointed into the air, and from within the painting shot out a dazzling light, revealing a portal of light.

Ethan Clark stepped inside.

This was a misty space, chaos all around, but before Ethan Clark floated two ancient books, shining with golden light.

The Devouring Heaven Secret Art!

The Supreme Longevity Sutra!

If someone from ten thousand years ago saw this, they would surely go mad and fight for them at all costs. These two ancient books were the peerless martial arts of the Devouring Heaven Supreme and the Supreme Longevity Supreme, who shook the world ten thousand years ago.

The Supreme Longevity Sutra is a supreme martial art that surpasses the heavenly level, even comparable to the legendary divine-level martial arts.

And the Devouring Heaven Secret Art is even more mysterious and unfathomable, more powerful than even supreme martial arts!

This ancient painting was originally painted by Grace Brooks for Ethan Clark, and was eventually refined by Ethan Clark into a secret treasure, hiding the peerless martial arts of the two within, left for a fated person. Although it was just something Ethan Clark did casually, even supreme powerhouses would not be able to detect anything unusual about the painting, and would automatically overlook it as an ordinary artwork.

With a wave of his hand, Ethan Clark caused the two ancient scrolls to transform into two streams of light, merging into Ethan Clark's mind.

Supreme martial arts contain the laws of heaven and earth, and must have the true intent of a supreme passed down in order to be successfully cultivated, so it is very difficult to store them in objects—unlike martial arts below the heavenly level, which can be fully recorded in scrolls.

A surge of enlightenment flooded his mind. Ethan Clark opened his eyes, his gaze becoming even more brilliant.

Chapter 0015: The Five Elements Spirit Seed

"The Devouring Heaven Secret Art is my foundation. I must condense the Devouring Heaven Spirit Seed as soon as possible to have some power to protect myself. My current cultivation is still a bit lacking!"

Ethan Clark muttered to himself. Although he had reached the ninth level of the Open Vein Realm, his victory over Chad Wright and Matthew Wright was entirely due to the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder summoned by the Longevity Sect's protective grand array.

With Ethan Clark's current strength, he could sweep through True Qi Realm experts, but when facing those at the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would be outmatched.

"This Supreme Longevity Sutra is actually very suitable for Olivia Brooks's physique—I can pass it on to him! William Harris's talent is also quite good. If he cultivates the Supreme Longevity Sutra, he should be able to break through to the Heaven-Human Realm very quickly. At that time, I'll have a powerful ally!"

Ethan Clark calculated in his heart. Although he had the memories of his previous life, returning to the peak was not so easy. He did not underestimate the powerhouses of this world; the road must be taken step by step, and only by laying a solid foundation could he go further.

"Connecting thirty-six meridians at the ninth level of the Open Vein Realm is only minor perfection. In ancient times, true great perfection was connecting three hundred and sixty meridians, matching the number of the heavens. If I can obtain the Five Elements Spirit Bell, not only can I break through to great perfection in the Open Vein Realm, but I can also use it to condense the Devouring Heaven Spirit Seed in one go. At that time, I will be able to use all the methods of the Devouring Heaven Secret Art!"

Ethan Clark thought to himself, then turned and left this space, carefully putting away the ancient painting.

Although the ancient painting had no offensive power, the space inside was very large and could be used as a storage treasure.

Most importantly, this was the only thing Grace Brooks had left behind.

Walking out of the Sutra Pavilion, Ethan Clark directly tossed the ancient book of the Supreme Longevity Sutra to William Harris.

"This is the Supreme Longevity Sutra, containing the true intent of the supreme inheritance. I've used it once, and it can be passed down three more times. As for who to pass it on to, let the sect master decide!" Ethan Clark said casually.

"This is the Supreme Longevity Sutra?!"

William Harris took it, and after hearing Ethan Clark's words, was so shocked that his hand trembled and he almost dropped the ancient scroll. He hurriedly looked around warily, then treasured it as if it were a priceless gem, his face full of utter astonishment.

It seemed that Ethan Clark really had obtained the inheritance of the Devouring Heaven Supreme. Otherwise, how could he have taken the Supreme Longevity Sutra from the Sutra Pavilion?

William Harris not only felt no jealousy in his heart, but became even more excited and happy.

He became more and more convinced that, in Ethan Clark's hands, the Longevity Sect would surely shine with the glory of ancient times!

"It's really embarrassing for the sect master of the Longevity Sect to only have the cultivation of the Grandmaster Realm. You should cultivate the Supreme Longevity Sutra well. I believe it won't be long before you reach the Heaven-Human Realm, or even the King Marquis Realm!" Ethan Clark said.

"Hahaha... With the Supreme Longevity Sutra, I am confident I can break through to the Heaven-Human Realm within a year. Ethan Clark, this time you've rendered great service. The sect will reward you handsomely. Tell me, what do you want? As long as the sect has it, it's all yours!"

With a wave of his sleeve, William Harris laughed heartily.

"Alright then, give me a million top-grade spirit stones for my cultivation first," Ethan Clark said casually.

"Ah... a million top-grade spirit stones, isn't that a bit too much?"
