Apart from those special martial arts and a few spirit medicines that can transform bloodlines, the only method is to do as he just did—regardless of the process, to forcefully break through in an almost savage manner!

At this moment, both the qi sea and the fetal wheel have reached their limits. If he continues, the consequences are unpredictable. He will need at least four days to recover before he can attempt another breakthrough.

However, the pain just now was only the beginning. Besides the nine main meridians, the human body has many extraordinary acupoints. The Wind Spirit Acupoint, which was discovered not long ago, is precisely Henry Clark's target.

At this time, for him, the importance of these five acupoints far surpasses even the main meridians of the body wheel.

Chapter 009: Extraordinary Acupoints

Half a day later, William Harris, who had disappeared somewhere, finally returned. He brought several large bundles containing food, clothing, spices, and more—enough for several years. However, his expression was gloomy, even worse than when he left.

Upon returning to the carriage, he uncharacteristically made no attempt to hide anything. He called Ethan into the carriage as well, and spoke directly in front of Henry Clark, getting straight to the point.

“I’ve kept this hidden for so many days, but now the situation is perilous and unpredictable. William Harris no longer dares to deceive the young lord. In fact, there has been no news from His Majesty for several months. I just went to make inquiries, and it’s said that half a month ago, someone witnessed His Majesty being forced into the Sinking Cloud Sea.”

There was a light clatter in the carriage as Ethan accidentally knocked over the teacup beside her, her face drained of all color.

Henry Clark merely narrowed his eyes slightly, saying nothing.

He was currently in the Eastern Cloud Continent of the Cloud Realm, floating above the sea of clouds. With a radius of twelve million miles, it was one of the five largest continents in the Cloud Realm.

The Sinking Cloud Sea lay to the south of the Eastern Cloud Continent. According to ancient legends, there were many mysterious and wondrous places here. No matter whether man or beast entered, death was certain.

The secrets of this place had long since been explored after ten thousand years. But at this time, the Sinking Cloud Sea was still a land of death.

Especially before the eruption of spiritual energy, except for those ancient figures of the Cloud Realm, probably no one could venture deep within.

No wonder that cousin had such courage. Entering the Sinking Cloud Sea, survival was indeed slim.

Ethan steadied herself, then gritted her teeth and insisted, “It’s just the Sinking Cloud Sea. With His Majesty’s abilities, it’s not certain he can’t make it out!”

William Harris glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. “His Majesty is not someone with a short life, and I know his methods well. The problem now is the struggle for the throne of Mount Qiantian. Several of His Majesty’s brothers, sons, and nephews are all ambitious men. For example, that George Clark—”

Ethan caught her breath and stopped arguing, her brows furrowing. “Isn’t it just a fight for the lordship of Mount Qiantian? At worst, the young lord can just give up the title!”

“But if we can’t rely on the power of Mount Qiantian, how will the young lord deal with His Majesty’s mortal enemies in the future?” William Harris let out a cold laugh, clenching his fists, his tiger-like eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.

“I, William Harris, always keep my word. Since I promised His Majesty to protect the young lord for life and help him inherit the throne of the demon king of Mount Qiantian, then even if I die without a grave, I will not break my oath! In any case, we can’t stay here any longer. Before His Majesty left, he ordered the two of us to escort the young lord and have him join the Lingyun Sect. Now it seems he anticipated this. As long as we reach Danling Mountain a day earlier, we’ll be safe! The rules at Danling Mountain are strict, unlike those at Linhai Academy. This journey will be even more dangerous, so young lord, you must be prepared!”

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, but then hesitated. “Leave now? Just now, the young lord and I met George Clark. Li Ling and Li Du were there too. Maybe their fellow disciples are involved as well—”

Before she could finish, William Harris waved his sleeve and interrupted forcefully, “Right now it’s just George Clark and the Li brothers. In a few days, when those with ulterior motives hear the news and come, it’ll be even harder to take a single step out of this Guling Market!”

His words left no room for doubt. William Harris was indeed a man of decisive action. He immediately stood up and stepped out of the carriage.

Ethan’s expression shifted unpredictably for a moment. It wasn’t until the Cloud-Turning Carriage rose into the air again that she slumped in defeat and said, “It’s all my fault, young lord! If I’d known, I’d have let you stay at Linhai Academy.”

But Henry Clark had already let go of it all, smiling as if it had nothing to do with him. Instead, he felt a bit worried for Ethan.

His father had arranged for him to be taken from Linhai Academy at this time, probably because he believed the academy’s strength was still far from enough to protect him, which showed how powerful their enemies were.

Henry Clark himself didn’t care much about the title of young lord. He had also considered giving up the throne and letting his cousins fight over it.

But from William Harris’s words, it seemed this was not a good solution either. Other than risking escape to Danling Mountain, there was no other way out.

In any case, he would have to walk a path on the edge of a blade.

By comparison, his father’s identity was what concerned him more.

Mount Qiantian had once been one of the holy lands of the demon race. After the eruption of spiritual energy, it still ruled the western part of the Eastern Cloud Continent, with millions of demons under its command.

He vaguely remembered that in just a few decades, Mount Qiantian had changed demon kings several times, like a revolving lantern.

None of them were particularly outstanding. And those heroes who emerged one after another during the Divine Emperor Era were simply too dazzling.

As a result, Mount Qiantian became a blind spot in his memory—he didn’t even know the names of those demon kings.
