The Mad Old Man sighed, and the coldness in his eyes turned into bitterness.
For him, His Lord's inheritance was the most important thing in his life, and he would do anything for it. If it were another successor, he would have killed him long ago, but Xie Tian was an exception.
Among the thirteen ancient species, Xie Tian was not the most talented, but he was the one he valued the most.
This kind of attention was not only limited to the success of His Lord's inheritance, but also a kind of emotional bond.
Xie Tian's short one year of struggle had opened up a gap in the heart of a God of Death who had shaken the Nine Regions for thousands of years. From shock to admiration, from admiration to gratification, and this gratification was the deep love one had for their son after they had hoped for him to succeed.
He called Xie Tian Young Master, but in fact, he regarded Xie Tian as his grandson. Otherwise, he would not have sat there for several months just to fish for Xie Tian.
Xie Tian valued relationships, but how could he not do the same? Otherwise, he would not have persevered to find His Lord's inheritance after twelve times of despair in three thousand years.
Seeing that Xie Tian was unwilling to go on, the Mad Old Man felt bitter. What could he do? Kill him? Not to mention that things had not come to this point, even if they did, he would not do it.
Xie Tian was his Young Master, but also his grandson!
"Little Tian Tian …" The Mad Old Man called Xie Tian's nickname, "I know your temper. You would rather die than change your mind, but Grandpa begs you, to see His Lord's successor is my last wish in this life. Grandpa will not live long …"
Xie Tian was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What kind of person is Xie Wudi?"
"His Lord …" The Mad Old Man sighed, and his eyes were full of memories.
"He was born mediocre and his talent was average. He pursued the Dao when he was young and experienced many hardships. However, his faith didn't change and he acted according to his nature. People said he was righteous, so he dared to kill the righteous for his friends. People said he was a devil, so he joined the army and returned peace and prosperity to the Central Prefecture. He was such a person!"
Xie Tian's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't Xie Wudi's path the one he was on? Could it be that the legacy of the Evil Emperor was created by Xie Wudi?
"Grandpa Feng, that inheritance …"
The Mad Old Man smiled bitterly. "Don't ask me. I don't know the details of the inheritance either. But don't worry. Three thousand years ago, Master was known as the number one person in the Nine Regions. He won't disgrace you."
"I don't care about this." Xie Tian shook his head. He had already chosen his path, and that was to train his body. Moreover, training his body did not conflict with the Evil Emperor's inheritance. "What do I need to do?"
The Mad Old Man cried tears of joy. His voice trembled as he said, "Little Tian Tian, you have already obtained the Evil Vein. You have also obtained a Dao Fruit in the Inner Qi level. As long as you obtain one more Dao Fruit in the Innate level, you will pass the trial of the inheritance!"
Xie Tian nodded. "That's easy. What else?"
"That's not easy." Seeing that Xie Tian didn't care, the Mad Old Man's eyelids twitched. He quickly explained to Xie Tian, "The Dao Fruit is divided into three grades: Extraordinary, Sanctity, and Supreme. But you have to pay attention. The grade of the Dao Fruit isn't the key. The key is the effect of the Dao Fruit."
Xie Tian didn't understand.
"You have seen Li Jian's two Extraordinary Dao Fruits. One is called Heaven Slashing and the other is God Slaying. Are they powerful? They are very powerful. They are invincible among those of the same grade. But these Dao Fruits of Slaughter are useless to you! "
The Mad Old Man's voice was very serious. "What you want is not a Dao Fruit of Slaughter, but a Dao Fruit of Foundation Establishment!"
"Foundation Establishment …" Xie Tian suddenly understood. "The Evil Vein is to transform the meridians, and the Profound Core is to expand the Dantian. This Dao Fruit is the Dao Fruit of Foundation Establishment?"
The Mad Old Man nodded. "The purpose of the Brute Force, Inner Qi, and Innate Stage is not to cultivate, but to build the foundation. At this stage, although the Dao Fruit of Foundation Establishment has no killing benefits, it can greatly improve your aptitude and give you a bright future! As for the Dao Fruit of Slaughter, there are countless great stages after the Innate Stage. The Dao Fruits of Slaughter obtained in these great stages are the real skills that go against the natural order! "
"I see." Xie Tian completely understood. Li Jian's Dao Fruit seemed terrifying, but in fact, he traded his foundation for killing. The path ahead was already set. The further he went, the harder it would be to break through.
"For our cultivation, the most important thing is the foundation. As long as the foundation is strong, it will be easy to break through the great stages in the future." The Mad Old Man said earnestly. "And the realm is the foundation of battle power. Without the support of the realm, you only have the power to overturn the heavens, but not the ability to overturn the heavens."
Xie Tian nodded and said seriously, "Mad Grandpa, I will remember."
"Then, can you promise me?" The Mad Old Man's eyes were filled with hope.
Xie Tian was silent. He was an ancient remnant. If it was not for the Mad Old Man, he would still be buried in the Dim Mist Mountain. It could be said that the Mad Old Man had given him his whole life. No matter how great his kindness was, it could not be more than this.
Not to mention the fact that the crazy geezer had raised him. Even though he was unable to accept the path that the crazy geezer had arranged for him, he now understood how difficult it was to climb to the peak. Moreover, wasn't this path an enormous fortuitous encounter that the crazy geezer had given him?
Moreover, the Mad Old Man did not have long to live. This was what made Xie Tian most distressed.
"Mad Grandpa, I promise you." Xie Tian made his decision. Before the Mad Old Man could go crazy with joy, he said, "But I will still walk the path that I have chosen."
The Mad Old Man was stunned. "Train, train your body?"
Xie Tian nodded.
"Sigh, Little Tian Tian, this is a dead end!" The Mad Old Man's face scrunched up in worry. "In ancient times, there were Body Cultivators, and there were Body Cultivators. There was no lack of powerful people who could become saints. But since the ancient times, the path of Body Cultivators has been cut off. You can't go on."
Xie Tian said seriously, "Even if the path ahead is a cliff, I will jump down without hesitation!"
The Mad Old Man was really worried now. He scratched his ears and cheeks. After a long while, he said helplessly, "Fine. After all, you relied on Body Cultivators to break through the limits of heaven and earth. Now you won't listen to anything I say. Fortunately, Body Cultivators have no influence on the inheritance. By the way, your Inner Qi Stage Dao Fruit is the supreme Foundation Dao Fruit, right?"
"It should be." Xie Tian also did not understand. He said, "I saw the nine Dao Fruits and was not satisfied, so I made one myself."
The Mad Old Man felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What, what did you say?"
"I made a supreme Dao Fruit called the Evil Body. It has no killing power. It should be of the Foundation Stage type."
The Mad Old Man fell to the ground. He looked at Xie Tian in shock and lost the ability to speak.
He had thought that Xie Tian had only obtained the supreme Dao Fruit. He never expected that Xie Tian had created a supreme Inner Qi Stage Dao Fruit!
Had this ever happened before?
It had!
The first Dao Fruit in Xie Wudi's inheritance, the Evil Meridian, was the supreme Dao Fruit created by a supreme genius countless years ago!
However, Xie Tian only had the Manifestation Body. How could he have reached such a terrifying level?
After a long while, the Mad Old Man recovered from the infinite shock. At the same time, he completely understood Xie Tian's determination to temper his body.
"Xie Tian, remember! There are two things that you cannot tell them, even if you have the most trusted brother or the most beloved woman in the future! "The Mad Old Man's tone was unprecedentedly serious.
Xie Tian's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, "What two things?"
"The first is your Inner Qi Stage Dao Fruit!" The Mad Old Man waved his hands and separated the two of them from this world. He said word by word, "The second is that the two curved blades in your body can devour other people's Dao Fruits. If others find out about this, you will become the common enemy of the nine states. Even I can't save you!"
When Xie Tian heard this, he immediately looked at the hundreds of disciples of the two sects.
"Don't worry. I've already erased their memories. If you steal other people's Dao Fruits in the future, you must be careful not to let others find out. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Xie Tian nodded fiercely. If even the Mad Old Man couldn't protect him, the consequences of this matter being exposed could be seen.
The Mad Old Man thought for a while and said, "It's meaningless for you to stay in Wanzhou. Since you want to temper your body, I'll give you a chance to give up."
Xie Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Give him a chance to give up? What are you saying …
"Grandpa Feng, what chance?"
"You don't need to know now." The Mad Old Man shook his head and said with a smile, "Get the Connate Stage Dao Fruit first. I'll tell you when the time comes. But when the time comes, I'll leave and can't take care of you anymore. You must be careful and don't lose your life."
When he finished speaking, the Mad Old Man gave Xie Tian a jade bottle and went fishing in Chulao Sea with mixed feelings. Even though he had lived for more than three thousand years, he still couldn't bear the things that had happened in the past half a month.
The devoured Dao Fruit, breaking the limits of heaven and earth by tempering his body, and creating his own Dao Fruit …
Any one of them could shock countless mighty figures of the Nine States. Even His Lord, Xie Wudi, had never done such a heaven-defying thing.
"With those two curved blades protecting you, I can rest assured …"
