The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, had not conversed with the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance for very long, but in that short amount of time, the information he learnt from the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance had an unprecedented impact on his mind.
Even though he was a powerful Grand Prime with a mind as tough as a rock, he was still greatly affected.
"The imperial clan is nurtured by nature …" Yu Chen felt bitter inside. The Martial Soul lineage was the mortal enemy of the Radiant Saint Hall. They were like fire and water. Once they encountered each other, they would clash and kill one another. There was no room for compromise.
As a matter of fact, some of the ancient records of the Radiant Saint Hall clearly recorded the various deeds of wiping out the Martial Soul lineage in the past.
Both the Radiant Saint Hall and the Martial Soul lineage had existed for countless years. During that time, countless conflicts of various sizes had erupted between the two sides. As a matter of fact, the Martial Soul lineage had even been wiped out by the Radiant Saint Hall several times throughout history. All the members of the Martial Soul lineage had been wiped out, causing the Martial Soul Mountain to become an empty region.
However, the Martial Soul lineage was nurtured by nature. Even if all of them were wiped out, a new Martial Soul lineage would be born countless years later.
All the secret techniques and legacies of the Martial Soul lineage were engraved on the Martial Soul Mountain. As long as the Martial Soul lineage returned to the Martial Soul Mountain, they could grasp them.
It was exactly because of this that the Martial Soul lineage continued to exist until today.
Now, the Martial Soul lineage that had been wiped out by the Radiant Saint Hall several times throughout history was actually referred to as the imperial clan by the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance, while they, Hallowed Saint Masters, had instead become subjects of the imperial clan. This was a huge joke.
If it were not for the fact that the person who said that was the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall probably would have slapped him to death long ago.
"Since the Martial Soul lineage is the imperial clan, why are they so weak? According to my knowledge, no one from the Martial Soul lineage has been able to break through to Grand Prime in history …" the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall asked sternly.
"Every member of the royal family is a powerful existence. They are the protectors of Eternal Kingdom. As for why they've become so weak, it's probably because something happened to the imperial family after my master died … "The Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in Yu Chen's head.
Yu Chen fell silent for a while before no longer caring about the Martial Soul lineage. He continued to ask, "Now that you've awakened, will you choose another master? If you want to choose a new master, will this person be a member of the royal family or a descendant of your master? Or should I say, the rest? "
"Although my master is dead, but …" The Artifact Spirit's voice suddenly came to a halt. Afterwards, it fell silent.
"Artifact Spirit …" Yu Chen waited for a moment. Seeing that the Artifact Spirit did not respond, he began to call out, but in the end, he did not receive any response.
It was as if he had lost his connection with the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance.
It was impossible for him to find the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance. Unless the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance contacted him, there was nothing he could do.
After all, the Tower of Radiance was just too great of a level, and it was basically in perfect condition. It was completely different from the damaged Anatta Tower. Even with the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall's strength, he could not do whatever he wanted in the Tower of Radiance.
At the same time, a white-robed, middle-aged man sat on the ground in an unknown space within the Tower of Radiance.
The middle-aged man was the Artifact Spirit who had always been by Jianchen's side.
Now, his identity had changed drastically. He had become the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance. He had reached a whole new level.
At this moment, the Artifact Spirit's body trembled gently. His body would be illusory and corporeal from time to time. He seemed to be extremely unstable.
As the Artifact Spirit, he did not have a body at all. His current body seemed no different from a physical body, but in reality, it was only a spirit condensed from energy.
Now that the Artifact Spirit's energy was unstable, his spirit was affected, making his body seem illusory.
"No, my master is not dead. My master is Jianchen. Jianchen is my true master," the artifact roared. The artifact spirit angrily roared out. The light in his eyes rapidly changed as if two completely different thoughts were engaged in an intense battle.
"I've absorbed the remnant consciousness of the Tower of Radiance's Artifact Spirit. Although the remnant consciousness possesses the Artifact Spirit's memories, it also contains its thoughts. Its thoughts are influencing me, trying to turn me into it without me noticing. However, that's impossible."
"Remnant consciousness of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance, don't even think about influencing my will. I will never become a second you, because when that time comes, I will no longer be myself …" The Artifact Spirit growled out as he did everything he could to suppress the remnant consciousness' influence on him.
Yu Chen finally sighed and gave up on waiting after standing before the stele in the miniature world of the Tower of Radiance for quite some time without receiving a reply from the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance.
"Leader, you must already know who I am. The master of the Tower of Radiance is my ancestor. My ancestor's legacy has chosen me, but the crucial cultivation method within the legacy has been taken away by Jianchen of the Martial Soul lineage through despicable methods. I hope the leader can take back the cultivation method as soon as possible so that my ancestor's legacy can be complete."
As soon as Yu Chen opened his eyes, the lord of the Scorching Sun Peak, Gongsun Zhi, spoke up. His voice was filled with undisguised anger. He no longer showed any respect to the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall. Instead, he treated him as an equal.
As a matter of fact, there was even a sliver of arrogance.
It was as if Gongsun Zhi felt that as the descendant of the master of the Tower of Radiance, he possessed the bloodline of a Grand Exalt. His status was even greater than the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall.
Yu Chen naturally sensed the change in Gongsun Zhi's attitude. He frowned slightly and said sternly, "This is something for the upper echelon of the sacred hall to consider. It's not something you should concern yourself with. Just do what you need to do." With that, Yu Chen left.
After Yu Chen's departure, Gongsun Zhi's face gradually sank. He looked in the direction that the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall had left in and thought, "In the past, you were the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall. You were supreme, and I could only look up to you. But now, I'm a descendant of a Grand Exalt. The bloodline of a Grand Exalt flows through me, and I've obtained the Grand Exalt's legacy. My future accomplishments are limitless. You'll be beneath my feet sooner or later. The position of leader will be mine sooner or later. "Gongsun Zhi's confidence swelled.
"Gongsun Zhi, although you're a descendant of the master of the Tower of Radiance, it's not very appropriate for you to speak to the leader like that," Donglin Qiushui frowned from behind Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi snorted coldly, "It's not up to you to tell me what to do. Donglin Qiushui, I'll let you go this time seeing how you fended off Jianchen with me before. If you disrespect me again, I'll get the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance to expel you."
Gongsun Zhi turned around and stared at Donglin Qiushui coldly. He said coldly, "Although I'm not the master of the Tower of Radiance right now, the Tower of Radiance was left behind by my ancestor, and I've obtained my ancestor's legacy. I'll inherit the Tower of Radiance sooner or later and make the Artifact Spirit accept me as its master."
Donglin Qiushui looked at the cold Gongsun Zhi and remained silent.
She did not doubt Gongsun Zhi's words at all. In terms of who was most qualified and most likely to inherit the Tower of Radiance, it would be very difficult to find a second person aside from Gongsun Zhi.
After all, the submission of the Grand Exalt's legacy had already explained everything.
"Donglin Qiushui, don't argue with him. Gongsun Zhi's personality has changed drastically after obtaining the Grand Exalt's legacy. He's no longer the Gongsun Zhi of the past," the lord of the Sky Gazing Peak's voice rang out in Donglin Qiushui's head.
Donglin Qiushui sighed gently inside. She listened to the lord of the Sky Gazing Peak's suggestion and stopped arguing with Gongsun Zhi.
