The fat priest's smile was very cold, so cold that it was like the ice in the Arctic Ocean. The answer he had guessed caused Duan Ziyan's heart to shiver.
"Let's cut the crap." The fat priest put out his hand and beckoned. "Let me ask you, do you want to seek revenge?"
Duan Tianhao nodded and said, "My entire clan was wiped out, and I have an irreconcilable feud with them. Of course, I want to seek revenge. How can I possibly not want to?"
Duan Ziyan did not believe the fat priest's nonsense at all and wanted to persuade Duan Tianhao. However, Duan Tianhao did not listen to her at all.
Duan Tianhao had unintentionally barged into an ancient tomb last year and discovered a secret inside.
It recorded the matter of seven experts from the Eastern Continent being defeated and sealed a thousand years ago.
Based on the records, he had come to this valley and discovered the fat priest. Under the fat priest's guidance, his martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had become a Demigod.
However, when the fat priest asked him to make an oath to impart unparalleled martial arts to him if he helped the seven of them break the seals, he hesitated and chose to reject.
According to the records in that ancient tomb, these seven people were all great demons with great powers and unfathomable cultivation. In order to seal them, the Tulip Dynasty had gone all out, including the three strongest people in the world — Saint Adam, Formidable Divine King Dante, and the Pope of the Holy See of Truth. They had spent a great deal of effort to defeat these seven people.
There was no need to mention Saint Adam. He was the founder of the Ancient Path of Hell, the first Saint in 1,000 years, the ancestor of the Empire's Krieg royal family, and one of the strongest experts in the world back then. He was also the main force in resisting the sixth onslaught.
The Formidable Divine King was also a legendary character. Back then, he was the leader of the Northern Sacred Land and one of the few factions recognized by the Church. He had once injured Adam and made him leave behind nine drops of his blood.
As for the Pope of the Holy See of Truth, there was no need to mention him. Regardless of which generation of Pope the Church was, they were all absolute top-notch experts in this world.
It was only with three great experts, three great influences, and the Tulip Dynasty, the strongest country in the world back then, that they had managed to suppress these seven people with great difficulty.
Despite this, these seven people's cultivations were too high. Each of them had attained a breakthrough to tier six of the Divine level or above and possessed remarkable abilities. All of them had also grasped the profoundness of space and were able to shift space at will.
Under such circumstances, although Adam, Dante, and the others defeated them, it was difficult for them to truly kill them, so they simply sealed them and suppressed them in seven secret locations on the continent, waiting for them to slowly die of old age.
In order to ensure that the later generations would not touch the seven seals, almost all the information was wiped clean, waiting for the seven people to slowly die of old age in the seals.
However, there were two things that perhaps the person who placed the seal did not expect.
But in the end, someone still leaked the news and left a record of what happened in the tomb.
Secondly, after a thousand years, the fat Daoist managed to accumulate a portion of his power under the seal, allowing a sliver of his will to burrow out and come to the valley on the surface.
However, it was precisely because Duan Tianhao knew how dangerous these seven people were that back then, no matter how the fat Daoist tried to tempt him with words, such as asking him to help him do something, asking him to cultivate the martial arts he provided, asking him to send a letter, asking him to accept the imparting of the Dao through the other party's divine will …
Duan Tianhao did not agree to any of the requests. He only accepted the other party's guidance on the martial arts he cultivated.
Thankfully, he discovered that the other party seemed to have really been sealed up. Other than normal communication, the other party was unable to perform any means on him. In fact, what he saw in front of him was just an illusion.
However, right now, his clan had been wiped out, his parents had died horribly, and Duan Tianhao was burdened with a deep vengeance. How could he care so much?
In order to seek revenge, he would not hesitate to destroy the world and bring about an overwhelming sea of blood.
Seeing that Duan Tianhao agreed so directly, the fat Daoist laughed out loud. "Good, good, good. Since that's the case, I'll impart you an unparalleled technique and give you a path that leads straight to the Heavenly Dao."
At the next moment, the fat Daoist pressed his palm down on Duan Tianhao's head, and countless pieces of information gushed out in his mind like a waterfall.
"Most of my powers have been sealed and I'm unable to invade your consciousness. Calm your mind and focus. Don't resist. "
Hearing that, Duan Tianhao opened up his mind, allowing the other party's consciousness to enter his mind.
At the side, Duan Ziyan said anxiously, "Brother, stop quickly! Don't be fooled by him! " She waved her hand, wanting to push the fat Daoist away. However, upon contact, the other party passed through her like an illusion. He was not a real person at all.
In Duan Tianhao's consciousness, streams of evil aura descended from the sky, spreading out toward his entire consciousness.
"Remember, the cultivation technique in our immortal sect is different from the Knight martial arts of the secular dynasties. It's similar to the Mages, but not the same. From today onward, you must completely forget the cultivation technique you used in the past.
"Everyone is born with a spirit. When the spirit gathers, it becomes a seed, and when the seed blooms, it becomes a root.
"Everyone has their own spirit root in their body. These spirit roots are separated into a total of 13 colors.
"Ordinary people tend to have five to six types of spirit roots. They are considered to have mixed colors, and their talent in cultivation isn't good.
"As for special geniuses, they would have dual or tri-colored spirit roots. Only then would they be considered to have true talent in cultivation.
"As for those with single-colored spirit roots, they are one in ten thousand. They are geniuses amongst geniuses.
"And you, Duan Tianhao, have a single pure-colored spirit root that is one in ten thousand."
Under the attention of countless pieces of information, Duan Tianhao felt his mind sinking. In the depths of his consciousness, a green seed was slowly germinating, turning into an extremely emerald spirit root.
"This is the foundation of your cultivation, your green spirit root."
Looking at Duan Tianhao, who had sunk into cultivation, the fat Daoist could not help but laugh.
"Finally …
"A thousand years …
"A whole thousand years …
"I can finally come out."
…
Elsewhere, in the Imperial Capital's palace.
Ferdinand closed his eyes and rested, basking in the sun.
This aristocrat, who had gotten to know Fang Xingjian in Kirst, had once helped Fang Xingjian earn money, swindle, steal, and publish books. As a Knight who had been following Fang Xingjian, he had helped Fang Xingjian manage his businesses and accumulate wealth.
After Fang Xingjian became the Empire's Imperial Preceptor, he had also come to the Imperial Capital like many others in the Great Western Region. He had now become the Commander of the Imperial Capital's Forbidden Army.
As an old subordinate of Fang Xingjian, not only had Ferdinand's authority reached the pinnacle, but his clan had also changed from a small aristocrat in Kirst to a great aristocrat with influence all over the Great Western Region. They were in charge of over half of the Empire's businesses in weapons, metals, and ores. They could be said to be one of the Empire's new four great aristocrats, a rising noble in the Imperial Capital.
His decision to follow Fang Xingjian closely back then was also seen as the most correct decision he had ever made in his life. Right now, the entire clan could be said to be supported by Fang Xingjian to the death.
Right now, Ferdinand was looking at the carts of books before him, occasionally flipping through them and checking them.
These were the martial arts secret manuals that Tyrande had collected from the various factions in the world.
After these secret manuals were tabulated and recorded by Ferdinand, they would be sent to Fang Xingjian.
