Chapter 5634

Morgana was well-versed in the history of the Four Treasures of the Study, knowing that it had once been a cherished national treasure during the Tang Dynasty, capable of safeguarding the country and its people. As a practitioner herself, she understood that although the banner had weakened over time, its remaining power could still provide significant assistance to individuals or small groups. The Rothschild family, who currently possessed the banner, had thrived for centuries without comprehending its reiki, cultivation, or core formation. This was a testament to the enduring power of the banner. Therefore, Morgana believed that the survival or destruction of the Warriors Den was inconsequential compared to her quest for longevity. Would she leave the Warriors Den for future generations of the Mirren family to enjoy if she were to live another hundred years? It would be nothing more than a pipe dream! And what would be the purpose of the Warriors Den's existence if she were to die in a hundred years? It would be more fulfilling to have them all accompany her in death! Thus, even if the Warriors Den provoked the United States and faced their retaliation, it held no significance for Morgana. With her strength, she might not be able to protect the entire Warriors Den, but finding a safe haven to live out the remaining hundred years would be relatively easy. And if this venture allowed her to obtain the Four Treasures of the Study, her luck would undoubtedly soar, greatly increasing her chances of discovering the secret to longevity. It might even bring about a significant breakthrough in her cultivation! As long as she found the opportunity to live for a thousand years, the Warriors Den could be rebuilt even if it were destroyed! But what if she offended the United States? In a few decades or a hundred years, all the current high-ranking officials in the United States would be gone, and everything concerning the Warriors Den would be forgotten with the passage of time. Who would remember a Morgana from a hundred years ago? By then, she could change her appearance and create a new Warriors Den, living for another five hundred years! Those five hundred years would be a time of immense power and influence, a time of commanding the world! At that point, the insignificant Warriors Den would no longer deserve her attention! However, if she hesitated now and caused any mishap with the Four Treasures of the Study, it would undoubtedly become the biggest regret of her life! With these thoughts in mind, Morgana grew even more resolute. She stood up and said coldly, "We will head north towards the US-Canada border. Once we receive accurate intelligence, we will go to the airport designated by the Department of Homeland Security to investigate!" Aemon hastily interjected, "My Lord, do you really have to go to the scene yourself? Isn't it too dangerous? In my opinion, let General Mirren's men handle this. There's no need for you to risk your life." Aemon was Morgana's loyal servant and junior. He understood that her identity was extremely special, carrying the shocking secret of living for four hundred years. Unless absolutely necessary, she should not put herself in harm's way. Moreover, in his view, Morgana had not personally taken action in the deaths of the three Great marshals. There was no need for her to risk her life for Landon, Eddie, or some unknown treasure. Morgana no longer concealed her intentions. She looked at Aemon and spoke in a stern and anxious tone, "The lives of Landon and Eddie don't matter. What's important is the antique dealer and the extraordinary treasure he possesses, which could change the fate of the Warriors Den! If we find it, it might be the greatest opportunity in the society's three-hundred-year history!" "The reason I am going to the United States is to obtain it!" "If we can get it, that would be ideal!" "If we can't, we must find a way to destroy it!" "If it falls into the hands of that mysterious enemy, it would be the greatest threat to the Warriors Den in its three-hundred-year history!" At this point, Morgana's countenance grew markedly grim, her teeth gritted as she spoke, "You are well aware that the status of Lily Evans, whether alive or not, has been a constant source of anxiety for me over the years. I've invested two decades of energy and intricate schemes within the Evans family, all in pursuit of an opportunity to compel her to reveal herself. Yet, every endeavor has yielded disappointing results, even inflicting significant losses upon the association."

She continued, her voice laden with concern, "My greatest apprehension is not about anything else but the possibility that Lily remains alive. If that enigmatic figure is indeed connected to her, it would be the worst possible outcome for us." "In such a scenario, Lily would be the first adversary capable of manipulating the destiny of the Warriors Den, wielding life and death as her instruments." "And if they manage to acquire that unparalleled treasure this time, the balance of power may tilt irreversibly in her favor." Aemon's expression turned horrified and he blurted out, "Master... the peerless treasure you mentioned, can it truly possess such extraordinary power?" With a resolute tone, Morgana affirmed, "Whoever possesses it can indeed conquer the world." Following that, Morgana locked her gaze onto Aemon, her voice emanating authority and arrogance as she declared coldly, "Aemon, you need not concern yourself with the fate of the Warriors Den or the other members of the Mirren family. Today, I offer you a profound opportunity. If, one day, I succeed in uncovering the method to concoct the Millenium Return Pill, thereby extending my life for millennia, creating the Eternal Life Pill will be a trivial task. When that day comes, I shall certainly bestow upon you the elixir of immortality, granting you a lifespan of five hundred years." Pausing briefly, she scrutinized him and added, "The Warriors Den may have faded, but you and I can establish a new one. The other Mirren family members may have perished, but the Mirren lineage still courses through your veins. Five centuries are ample for you to nurture the Mirren family's branches and leaves. In due time, you will become the progenitor of a revitalized Mirren family. If, someday, I achieve a lifespan as boundless as the heavens, the Mirren family shall endure for eternity. Doesn't that sound splendid?" Aemon felt as though he had been struck by lightning, a numbing sensation coursing from his scalp to his toes. A lifespan of five hundred years was a dream he had scarcely dared to entertain. He understood that Morgana's current longevity of five hundred years was the result of Lord Morvel's Elixir of Everlasting Life, an opportunity that seemed impossible for him to attain. Nonetheless, if Morgana indeed mastered the method to live for a millennium, she would ascend to the same echelon as Lord Morvel. In such a scenario, wouldn't he also possess the capacity she enjoyed? If Lord Morvel could bestow upon her the Eternal Life Pill, she would undoubtedly be able to create the same elixir for herself! Lord Morvel had granted her five centuries of existence, and now she could do the same for herself! Confronted with these thoughts, Aemon struggled to contain his emotions, an impulse to prostrate himself before Morgana, pounding his head onto the ground repeatedly, overwhelmed him. Observing his overwhelming excitement and jubilation, along with his inclination to kneel, Morgana utilized her reiki to support his body, preventing him. Concurrently, she issued a stern command, "Aemon, please remember, I disclose this only to you now and I will do so with a second individual in the future. You must guard this secret with utmost diligence, divulging nothing to anyone, do you comprehend?" Aemon's voice quivered with fervor as he earnestly replied, "Master, rest assured, I understand! I pledge to give my all to support you in this endeavor, no matter how hard it may be, I am prepared to lay down my life for it!" Morgana nodded with satisfaction and conveyed, "Starting today, rectify your perspective. As long as we can attain immortality, their demise shall hold no regret for us. I've trained these individuals for over three centuries, they have served as mere pawns. When the time comes for them to meet their fate, they shall do so without a word!"
