The guardian's sword

"Mr. Lennon, you also know how strong that old priest is. We Catholics only have the supreme priest who could rival him. Now that the supreme priest has passed away, that old priest has become even more arrogant..."

Sean nodded slightly and sighed before expressing his regret. "It's a pity about the supreme priest." "Human life has its limitations. The path of martial arts is long and arduous. Few people in history have been able to reach the legendary Transcendence Realm." Adam sighed as well. He had already reached Great Grandmaster Realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. Even so, there were opponents he could not defeat and problems he could not solve.

"Mr. Lennon, since you're willing to leave that calligraphy in Greendom Chapel, you must have some history with Greendom Chapel. I wonder if you can tell me," Adam finally said after a moment of silence.

Adam was the former chaplain of Greendom Chapel, but he had gone into seclusion to further advance himself after stepping down from his position.

The person who had interacted with Sean was not Adam but his student, Abel Greendom, who was the current chaplain of Greendom Chapel. Adam was unaware of Greendom Chapel's affairs and knew nothing about their relationship. He had only heard about Sean from Abel.

When Adam learned of someone powerful like Sean, he immediately emerged from seclusion to observe the calligraphy left by Sean.

The calligraphy was simple, containing only a few sentences.

[Snowfall in early winter. Flowers will bloom next year. The journey ahead is far and challenging. Someday we'll meet again.]

Despite its simplicity, those words contained the profound essence of martial arts that shocked Adam.

Although Adam had not personally witnessed Sean's prowess, he could figure out Sean's strength and unusualness from his calligraphy. It was also why Adam showed such respect to Sean upon learning his identity.

Sean shook his head with a smile, saying, "When I was down and out, Chaplain Abel helped me out. I wrote this calligraphy for him. I also promised him that he could come to me anytime if Greendom Chapel encountered any problems it couldn't solve. It seems Chaplain Abel still hasn't been able to shake his pride after all these years. He even refused to seek help from me when Greendom Chapel had gotten into its current plight..."

Sean slowly showed a smile tinged with nostalgia at the mention of Abel.

Adam nodded slightly before answering solemnly, "Mr. Lennon, the crisis Greendom Chapel is facing this time isn't something that can be resolved easily. If you're willing to help Greendom Chapel overcome this, please let me know what you can truly do."

Sean casually pointed to the ground beneath him.

Swoosh!

A burst of energy shot out from Sean's fingertip and pierced through the ground.

Adam's pupils instantly contracted at the sight.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Shooting energy out of the body was something only a Great Grandmaster could achieve, but effortlessly penetrating the ground with one's energy as Sean had done was beyond an ordinary Great Grandmaster.

Adam was a Beginner Great Grandmaster himself, but he could never do what Sean had done, even with his abilities.

Adam gulped and struggled to ask, "Mr. Lennon, that realm..."

Sean shook his head with a smile before replying, "Transcendence Realm is so distant. As a Great Grandmaster, you should know that. Though I'm only one step away from Transcendence Realm, that one step is like a canyon..."
