The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 865

James had heard of the painting's origins before.

However, he scarcely knew anything about it

He sat motionlessly in the wheelchair and looked at the painting in awe

Tobias, whose gaze was also fixed on the painting, continued. “This painting was passed down by the Prince of Orchid himself. He was a prince who failed to seize power for himself in the midst of a power struggle In order to make a comeback. he went to great lengths searching for treasures all over the world Sadly, he went to his grave unable to seize the imperial throne for himself. On his deathbed. he gave each of his four major officials a painting and told them that the paintings held a great secret within.”

James asked in response to the revelation, “What kind of secret?”

Bobby Caden once told him that the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge possessed the secret to immortality. However, James found it hard to believe his words

Tobias shook his head morosely “The Prince of Orchid never revealed what it was. and the ancestor of the Cadens had no idea either. It was only when the four major officials were sorting through the Prince of Orchid's belongings that they realized something strange. The four paintings that the Prince of Orchid left behind should possess his self-taught martial arts teachings. It’s possible to reach the ninth rank if one perfected the Prince of Orchid’s martial arts.”

“The ninth rank...~

Tobias let out a disappointed sigh

“Since times of old, countless martial artists have devoted their lives in pursuit of reaching the ninth rank. However, there have been no records of anyone actually achieving that vaunted goal.”
