It was not just Hun Zang. Even Chu Jian, Yue Chao, Yun Ziting, Su Qi, Bai Rufeng, and Aoyama became extremely solemn when they arrived before the cavern. They were filled with respect.
Jianchen's heart skipped a beat when he sensed their changes. After a moment of thought, he looked at the cavern as well. The light in his eyes flickered as he sank into his thoughts.
"The Martial Soul lineage has always been sparsely populated. Even during the most glorious and most resplendent period recorded in the ancient records, we only had nine people. As a result, to our Martial Soul lineage, no matter what time it is, gaining another senior or junior is an extremely important matter to our Martial Soul lineage. "
"Today, our Martial Soul lineage welcomes an eighth brother. Even in the long history of our Martial Soul lineage, it's extremely rare for eight brothers to exist at the same time."
"Moreover, according to the ancient records, our Martial Soul lineage has always maintained five or six successors in the past. There haven't been many instances of seven successors. However, once eight successors appear, it'll herald a new glorious period for our Martial Soul lineage."
Hun Zang suddenly became excited when he reached there. He glanced past everyone as undisguised excitement filled his face. He said excitedly, "Now, there are finally eight successors of our Martial Soul lineage. This means that in the near future, our Martial Soul lineage will stand proudly in the Saints' World. It will surpass the current situation and become even more resplendent!"
"Yeah, eight … we've finally gained eight. I've been waiting for this day for far too long," Chu Jian said happily as well. He was filled with anticipation for the future of the Martial Soul lineage.
Yue Chao, Bai Ziting, Su Qi, Bai Rufeng, and Aoyama smiled as well. They looked forward to the future.
Among them, only Jianchen was left scratching his head. He looked at them in doubt and asked in confusion, "I don't quite understand. Can the addition of a single successor affect the future of the Martial Soul lineage? One had to know that the strength of a force did not depend on the number of people, but on the strength of the peak powerhouses. However, our Martial Soul lineage will never be able to break through to Grand Prime. Even if we have one or two more people, it probably won't affect us much. "
Hun Zang and the others looked at Jianchen with a faint smile. Yue Chao explained, "Jianchen, our Martial Soul lineage isn't as simple as you imagine it to be. Every single disciple of the Martial Soul lineage represents a strand of fortune for the Martial Soul lineage. The more people there are, the more fortune there is. Now that eight of us exist at the same time, it means that our Martial Soul lineage has unknowingly gathered the fortune of eight people. This fortune will affect the future of our Martial Soul lineage unknowingly. Of course, the precondition is that none of us die. Otherwise, once someone dies, it won't just be the luck of the eight of us. "
"What if there are nine disciples?" Jianchen asked. Suddenly, he discovered that the Martial Soul lineage seemed to be much more complicated than he had imagined it to be.
"Nine …" This time, everyone fell into a period of silence. Their eyes flickered with an indescribable color.
It was as if nine was not just a number, nor was it just a gathering of fortune. Instead, it contained even more profound mysteries.
"And that time was a glorious era that changed the fate of our Martial Soul lineage …"
After a moment of pause, Yue Chao suddenly stared at Jianchen sternly and asked, "Jianchen, with brother Hun Zang's cultivation as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, he possesses battle prowess no weaker than a Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. He even possesses the power to fight Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Do you know why that is?"
"Isn't it because of Martial Soul Force and your Martial Soul Array?" Jianchen asked. When Hun Zang fought against so many experts on the Desolate Plane in the past, he did not have the time to observe the battle in detail, so he naturally did not know the reason.
"Martial Soul Force and the Martial Soul Array are indeed of great assistance, but in reality, that's not enough to fight Third Heavenly Layer Grand Primes or even Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. The true reason is that even though brother Hun Zang's cultivation remains at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime, his cultivation has already become a Grand Prime, "Yue Chao said sternly.
Hearing that.
Jianchen's heart shuddered. Cultivation referred to the comprehension of the ways of the world and the level of control over laws, while cultivation referred to the strength of a person's energy.
Yue Chao was basically saying that Hun Zang's comprehension of the ways of the world was still at Chaotic Prime, but the power within him had already reached the level of Grand Primes.
Jianchen found this to be unbelievable. This was because all cultivators in the Saints' World, regardless of their cultivation, were restricted by their cultivation. If they wanted to break through to the next level, they needed to make a breakthrough in their comprehension of the ways of the world. Only then could their cultivation increase.
This was the law of cultivation in the world. It was an order of the world that could not be changed. Even with his Chaotic Body, he needed to make a breakthrough with the Laws of the Sword before he could reach the next level. Otherwise, his Chaotic Body would forever remain at his current level.
However, Hun Zang had actually defied the order of the world, ignoring the restrictions of cultivation and allowing his cultivation to continue increasing. This left Jianchen extremely shocked.
At this moment, Hun Zang said, "This method of bypassing the restrictions of cultivation and continuing to break through was created countless years ago by a senior when our Martial Soul lineage had nine successors. It has been passed down to this day, becoming the greatest scripture of our Martial Soul lineage."
"Moreover, the records state that our Martial Soul lineage was extremely glorious during the era of the nine successors. We became unprecedentedly powerful, enough to shock the stars and fear the world. We could even stand up to Grand Exalts …"
"Stand up to Grand Exalts? Are Grand Exalts born once our Martial Soul lineage has nine successors at the same time? " Jianchen was deeply stunned. At that moment, he discovered that his understanding of the Martial Soul lineage was nowhere near enough.
The Martial Soul lineage seemed to possess far, far too many secrets that no one knew about.
Hun Zang shook his head gently and said, "That era was far too long ago. Even the Grand Exalt of Ancient Paths had never heard of the stories of that era. Now, our Martial Soul lineage only has a few ancient records that contain a few fragments of information. As for whether any of our seniors reached that supreme level of cultivation, we juniors are unable to verify it. "
