Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 507

Before the entrance to the Perpetual Empire was sealed, nine pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet were rumored to have been released into the world.

These pieces were said to be the keys to unlocking the Perpetual Empire. Unfortunately, as soon as the pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet were released, they became the target of numerous factions, and these pieces were eventually scattered across the globe.

Over the years, many have tried to gather all nine pieces to enter the Perpetual Empire, but no one had succeeded. The pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet had changed hands many times throughout the years. As of now, most of them were in the possession of the Four Great Immortal Sects. The whereabouts of only one piece remained unknown.

"Mr. Hollister, please have a seat," Julian said invitingly.

For him, if there was anything more important than continuing his bloodline, it was gaining access to the Perpetual Empire. With the possibility of acquiring immense power and eternal life, his concern over having descendants paled in comparison.

After all, if one could live forever, having heirs wouldn't matter much.

Once Lorenzo sat down, Edwin, Bradley, and Bruce all gathered around him.

"Mr. Hollister, you mentioned wanting to discuss the Perpetual Empire. Could you give us more details?" Edwin inquired.

"Do you want to enter the Perpetual Empire?" Lorenzo asked.

"Of course we do. Who wouldn't want to? But the problem is that we can't get in," Edwin replied with slight annoyance.

Lorenzo explained, "The reason we can't enter the Perpetual Empire is that we've never managed to gather all nine pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet in one place.

"However, before coming here, I've extended invitations to the Divine Chief and the Priest of Light to join us. With their help, it should be much easier to gather all nine pieces."

Edwin and the others were immediately intrigued.

"Mr. Hollister, it's not like no one's tried this before. About a hundred years ago, the head of your Infernal Gate proposed the same idea.

"But look at what had happened. A massive conflict broke out, and rivers of blood were spilled. One of the amulets also went missing and hasn't been seen since," Edwin said.

Julian and Bradley nodded in agreement. This outcome was predictable, but the risk was enormous.

Besides being the key to the Perpetual Empire, the Ninefold Griffin Amulet was a powerful artifact that could enhance cultivation.

The Four Great Immortal Sects had remained dominant for a thousand years largely because they held these pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet. The heads of these sects had used these pieces to surpass others in cultivation.

A hundred years ago, factions possessing the pieces of the Ninefold Griffin Amulet had gathered, only for things to end in a bloody battle with heavy casualties on all sides.

"This time, we will learn from past mistakes. I've already devised a foolproof plan," Lorenzo said.

"And what is that plan?" Julian asked eagerly.

"A blood curse," Lorenzo replied.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"What? Do you mean the legendary blood curse that supposedly brings divine retribution if broken?" Julian was shocked.

"What's a blood curse? Can you explain it more clearly?" Bradley asked, confused.

Edwin explained, "I read about it in an ancient text. A blood curse is a pact made with blood and completed using a special method. Once the pact is formed, the blood curse takes effect. If any member of the alliance attacks another within a certain timeframe, they will face divine retribution."

"What kind of divine retribution?" Bradley asked further.

"They'll be struck by lightning," Julian replied.

"But the art of the blood curse is said to have been lost long ago. Do you really know how to perform it?" Edwin asked, looking at Lorenzo.

"Of course. Take a look at this," Lorenzo said, pulling out an ancient book.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the wedding as the group of powerful figures gathered around to study the blood curse.

After thorough examination, they ruled out the possibility of the book being a forgery and concluded that the information was highly credible.

"The Divine Chief has arrived!"

"The Priest of Light has arrived!"

Upon hearing these announcements, everyone quickly turned toward the entrance of the valley, where they saw a group of people striding in.
