Elder Tianren looked at Gu Ruoyun's silent expression and continued to speak, "However, in return for the Secret Order, he allowed the members of the Secret Order to receive this inheritance! However, the restriction was that they could only send one person into the tower every year! Besides, he had clearly told us that only the fated person could receive this inheritance. Even if anyone else were to receive the inheritance, they would still fail! Even so, because of this inheritance, the Secret Order's power had increased by leaps and bounds, allowing us to reach this stage today. "
Gu Ruoyun raised her head and her gaze landed upon Elder Tianren's elderly features. She then slowly asked, "This should be the Secret Order's secret. Why would you tell an outsider like me?"
Elder Tianren smiled, "Because you're the champion of the assessment. The Secret Order also needs your help."
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly, "Apologies, the Secret Order is so powerful so why would you need my help? Besides, I've never lived so I don't want to get involved in the Secret Order's matters. "
Gu Ruoyun does not know what the Secret Order wants her to do but she knew that it would not be anything good. Otherwise, why would Elder Tianren lower himself in front of her?
Besides, she does not think that she would be able to help the Secret Order based on her current level of power.
"Little girl, listen to me first." A light flashed in Elder Tianren's eyes and there was a soundless smile on his face. "Just as the Secret Order had obeyed the cultivator's orders and set up camp on Deity Peak, that cultivator had come again. This time, he had brought someone with him!"
Gu Ruoyun did not speak as she listened intently to Elder Tianren's explanation.
"He sealed that person in the training pagoda and placed the training pagoda in the Secret Order's custody. He then disappeared once again and never appeared again."
The training pagoda?
Gu Ruoyun was shaken. The stone dragon that she had encountered in the training pagoda had told her that its task was to watch over the person who had been sealed in the training pagoda! If her guess is correct, the person that Elder Tianren was talking about should also be that person!
He wondered what kind of person could have made the Secret Order guard this place for ten thousand years.
"Not too long ago, the seal in the training pagoda had weakened. Our Clan Leader sensed that that existence was about to emerge. Besides, that person is far too powerful. If he were to appear on this mainland, the entire mainland would suffer a calamity. Unless the powerful cultivator who had given the Secret Order the inheritance ten thousand years ago reappears, no one in this world would be able to subdue him! Hence, the Secret Order has taken the risk of recruiting geniuses from all over the mainland to accept the inheritance. If anyone can successfully obtain the inheritance, perhaps they would be able to subdue that person! "
Gu Ruoyun's eyes flickered as she asked, "Then do you know who had given you the inheritance?"
"That person …" Elder Tianren paused for a moment before he said with a face full of longing, "That person shouldn't be called a person, he should be a god! In the ancient books of the Secret Order, it was recorded that our late ancestor had used the word 'God' to address him. "
God?
Gu Ruoyun's eyes flickered. Once a cultivator reaches the Full Circle State, that would be equivalent to becoming a god! However, the most powerful cultivator on this mainland was only at the ninth transformation state. No one at the Full Circle State has ever appeared!
Could it be that the powerful cultivator that Elder Tianren was talking about was at the Full Circle State?
"Does the Secret Order's ancient books have any records about that powerful cultivator?" Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows. After all, if she had accepted the Secret Order's task, she would need to understand the ins and outs of her enemy!
