222: Holy Mother, the previous leader of Tianhai Sect

“From then on, all who cultivated this art died inexplicably.

It is precisely because of this that this art gradually became lost, and I only obtained it through a stroke of luck.

Furthermore, this art is only half complete, but you don't need to worry; it won't affect your cultivation.

Because its first half describes the method of cultivation, and its second half describes the method of application.

For example, the technique Eight Ancestors used to sever the World Consciousness back then was the ultimate killing move from the latter half of the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art.

Now, do you still want to practice it?”

Ominous?

Died inexplicably?

What the old man said indeed made Lin Zhao fall silent.

A moment later, she looked up at the ethereal old man, “I still decide to choose the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art!”

Admittedly, this art might bring ill omens, but ill omens, to be frank, are baseless things.

Although the True Fire Breaking Fate Art is a Heaven-tier art, compared to an Ancestor-tier art, even if it's only half complete, the difference is immeasurable.

Three years from now, she wants to ascend to the Heavensea Sect and wipe away her humiliation.

Yet, at present, she has only just managed to break through to the Qi Sea Realm.

Her opponent's cultivation had already broken through the Qi Sea Realm long ago.

Three years later, with the vast resources of the Heavensea Sect and the Oriental family supporting him, he might be able to break through to the Yuandan Realm.

And she? At best, she belongs to a small family.

In terms of breaking through to the Yuandan Realm, they are basically of no help.

Even for cultivation in the Qi Sea Realm, they can only provide her with basic resources at most.

Compared to Oriental Qi, it's probably less than a drop in the ocean.

The most crucial thing is that her opponent is not only the young master of the Oriental family but also the young sect master of the Heavensea Sect.

He is qualified to learn the Heavensea Sect's Earth-tier art.

Even if it's trash among Earth-tier arts, it's still Earth-tier!

Choosing the True Fire Breaking Fate Art, though a Heaven-tier art, might not necessarily bridge the gap between the two.

Moreover, she is practically starting her cultivation from scratch now, so her starting point is already quite a bit behind others.

To ensure victory in that bet three years from now, the safest method is the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art.

The ethereal old man asked, “Have you truly made your choice?”

Lin Zhao nodded, “Mm.”

The ethereal old man said no more and injected both arts from his hand into Lin Zhao's mind.

In an instant, Lin Zhao was stunned on the spot by the massive influx of memories.

Whether it was a Heaven-tier art or an Ancestor-tier art, the amount of information contained within them was extremely terrifying.

Moreover, arts of this level could not be simply recorded with pen and paper.

Similarly, studying and reading them required immense mental effort.

An ordinary Qi Sea Realm cultivator, or even a Yuandan Realm cultivator, would need several years to finish reading them.

Therefore, such arts were often taught in stages.

The ethereal old man, relying on his own soul power, directly injected the content into Lin Zhao's mind.

This action would naturally cause him great exhaustion.

At the same time, this content was not something Lin Zhao could endure.

Then, seeing Lin Zhao's pained expression, the ethereal old man extended two fingers and tapped Lin Zhao's glabella.

In an instant, the content in Lin Zhao's mind was sealed.

After doing all this, the ethereal old man became even more ethereal.

After the massive impact of the content in her mind subsided, Lin Zhao easily digested the remaining content.

A moment later, Lin Zhao recovered, opening her eyes, which were full of confusion, “Why?”

What Lin Zhao asked was, of course, not about sealing her memories.

Instead, it was about why, since she had already chosen the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art, he would also transmit the True Fire Breaking Fate Art.

Lin Zhao originally didn't know what transmitting an art entailed, but now she understood.

The ethereal old man stroked his beard and smiled, “Who said that if you cultivate the Eight Ancestors Heaven-Shaking Devil Art, you can't also cultivate the True Fire Breaking Fate Art?”

Lin Zhao frowned. Could it be that a person could cultivate two main arts simultaneously?

Why had she never heard of it before?

Moreover, if one could truly cultivate two main arts at the same time, wouldn't her previous choice have been meaningless?

The old man saw Lin Zhao's confusion and explained, “It is true that a person can only cultivate one main art at a time, but some techniques within the True Fire Breaking Fate Art can already be cultivated by you.

For example, the True Fire Refining Spirit in the True Fire Breaking Fate Art can greatly temper the cultivator's soul.

It can even temper the soul to a degree not inferior to the physical body.

It's just that if you don't cultivate the True Fire Breaking Fate Art, the effect will be slightly weaker, and the process will be more painful.

Furthermore, a portion of the art I injected into your mind has already been sealed by me.

You cannot handle such a large amount of information at your current state.

And some of the content, if your realm is not high enough, merely knowing it will cause you to sink into it.

That content will automatically unseal step by step as your cultivation improves.

You must have already felt this, right?”

Lin Zhao carefully sensed the content in her mind, and it was indeed as her master had said.

…

Since Chen De couldn't temporarily deal with the Lin family's Eldest Daughter and the remnant soul in the ring he held.

Then Chen De would temporarily switch to a different target; there was no need to hang himself on one tree.

Thus, after searching the souls of several people.

Chen De then headed to the place where the most powerhouses gathered in the entire Qian Guang Empire—the Imperial Capital.

With Chen De's power, he could naturally act without restraint in such a small place.

However, to be safe, after all, he had just encountered an existence that was evenly matched with Chen De.

This also made Chen De realize that this world was not simple.

So, before fully investigating the true nature of this world, Chen De would not be so arrogant.

He would first find a few more powerful individuals to gather information.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Capital, Chen De immediately sensed the strongest person within the city.

Then, Chen De's figure flickered, and he disappeared from his original spot.

…

“Hahaha, after a hundred years of secluded cultivation, I have finally broken through to the Heaven Profound Realm.”

In a secluded cultivation chamber, a white-haired, youthful-faced man was laughing wildly.

Indeed, he was the previous Sect Master of the Heavensea Sect, who, after a hundred years of secluded cultivation, had finally achieved the Heaven Profound Realm.

A glint of light appeared in the man's eyes. Now, he was in the Heaven Profound Realm, and he was also the only Heaven Profound Realm cultivator in the entire Qian Guang Empire.

Was the territory of his Heavensea Sect perhaps a little too small?

Upon emerging from seclusion this time, he would gather…

“Hello, I am the Supreme Holy Mother of the Holy Mother Sect, and I sincerely invite you to join the Holy Mother Sect and become a glorious Saint Mother, thank you!”

Just as the man was still lost in his beautiful fantasies, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

Who was it that could silently appear in the Heavensea Sect's secluded cultivation chamber?

One must know that this was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Heavensea Sect!

Moreover, she could even appear silently behind him, and he hadn't detected her in the slightest.

He was a Heaven Profound Realm existence!

While the man was still in shock, the voice came again.

“Not speaking? Then I'll take that as your consent!”

The man's expression changed, “Wait, wait a minute, no…”

After he was done, Chen De looked at the man, who had already been converted into a Saint Mother, with some confusion.

No what?

Don't stop?
