Max slowly lowered his gaze to the page. Very few words remained written on it. Most of the text had faded away, leaving only broken marks and incomplete lines. But at the very top of the withered page, one name stayed clear.
Eternal Body.
The moment Max read those two words, his five Divine Veins shook again. This time, the tremor spread through his entire body. His blood slowed for an instant. His bones seemed to grow heavier. His flesh tightened, and his soul felt like it had just heard an ancient echo from a path buried beyond time.
Even his Dimensional Sovereign Body reacted faintly, not with rejection, but with a strange silence, as if it too were paying attention to the name written on the page.
Eternal Body.
Max stared at those words. Now he was certain. Whatever this page mentioned tied directly into the body cultivation path beyond the Seven Divine Veins. The complete Seven Divine Veins technique hadn't given him the answer. Saint Reiner hadn't known the answer.
