Cultivation Through Artifacts

Chapter 371 - Sharing Secrets & Returning To The Zero Realm (2 Last)



Inside the mansion that was filled with many powerful existences that reached either the Ninth or Eighth Cultivation Stage already, all looked and listened to a single individual who was not older than 20 years old.

Jas, Logan, Scarlett, Bazz, Jane, Miss Mary, Liza, and Dan. Each of them remained silent as they listened to Khal's words as if they were the words of God that held sacred meaning.

And just like how saints would react when they obtained a sacred text from their Lord, when all of them heard and understood what Khal was saying all of their complexions changed, instantly turning into that of an utter shock and speechlessness!

"A-Are you telling us that the Ninth Cultivation Stage is not the peak for us human cultivators?" Jane asked with widened eyes, subconsciously taking a step toward Khal.

"Yes. Furthermore, if you enter the Second Realm with your current strength your level of strength will be a whole Stage weaker than those on the same Stage as you." Khal nodded calmly, his eyes as tranquil as a pond of water while he spoke.

"This... But how could this be possible? How did we fail to notice something so obvious?" Scarlett murmured as she gently held her chin with her delicate fingers, pondering about all the things she just learned from Khal.

"It is because reaching the Tenth Cultivation Stage requires one to open their Soul World," Khal replied without a second thought.

"Soul World?" everyone raised their brows upon hearing the unfamiliar context, but after hearing Khal's explanation, their eyes lit up and their complexion brightened with enlightenment.

"No wonder... So that is why I felt this strange feeling inside me all this time." Logan said and added, "I thought this was akin to a sign to ascend, but it seems I was totally wrong. Luckily, I am still here and did not rush into the Second Realm."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Just imagining their fate in the Second Realm where even the weakest existence could simply crush them without giving them the chance to resist... They couldn't help but feel a cold shiver run through their bodies unwillingly.

Instantly, their respect for Khal deepened an entire level more, and couldn't stop but praise him in their hearts even though he could easily be qualified to be their son because of the wide age gap.

"How bad... If you would have been only a few years older maybe I would have tried to charm you..." Scarlett sighed quietly but instantly regretted it as she felt a piercing glare on her skin, making her feel almost as if bugs began to run under her skin all of a sudden.

'Liza?'

Watching as Liza stared coldly at her with her leaking Eighth Cultivation Stage, Scarlett felt shocked before she became completely surprised.

'She has already reached the Eighth Cultivation Stage? When?' she knew Liza had a terrifying learning capability and was a great Talent, but seeing she was already on the same Cultivation Stage as her despite being several years younger, she felt startled.

'These two... They are little monsters... Cultivation monsters!' Scarlett swallowed her saliva nervously and looked to and fro between Khal and Liza.

After telling them everything he wanted, Khal straightened his back and waved his hand.

Whoosh!

In a blink, several items such as pills, weapons, treasures, and many other things appeared on the floor of the mansion, shocking the crowd before Khal under a split second.

"W-What are these?" Bazz asked with a trembling hand as he picked up a piece of ore that shone with a shiny blue glow while also emitting a small amount of frost from it too.

"These are the things I have 'obtained' during my time spent on one of the Night Crawlers' planets," Khal said with a straight face, shamelessly lying about the truth about how he obtained these valuable treasures.

"You will give all of these... to us? But we don't deserve the-" this time Jas wished to say something, but when he saw Khal waving his hand he could do nothing but remain silent despite being the older one.

"It is not about deserving it or not. I just feel at ease knowing you guys have these in your possession. With these items, I am pretty sure you will be able to defend yourself against even if the Cultivator's Association itself decides to attack you!" Khal showed a confident smile as he said those words.

"I-I see... Thank you." Jas didn't push the matter any further nor did he stand on a ceremony and immediately stored all the treasures into his storage ring.

Once that was done, Khal nodded and looked at his body.

"So it is time, huh?"

"What? Do you already have to go? But you said you still have an hour more! It only has been less than thirty minutes!" Liza who stood on Khal's side looked tense, not accepting the fact that Khal had to leave so soon even though he had just come.

When Khal saw that Liza was about to cry, his complexion softened, and placed his palm on the side of her head, gently wiping away her appearing tears at the corner of her eyes.

"There is no reason to feel sad all of a sudden. It is not like you won't see me soon enough." Khal said with a delicate smile and said softly, "Looking at your current cultivation and comparing it to the last time I saw you, I am pretty sure it will only take you a little bit less than two months to reach the Tenth Cultivation Stage and ascend."

Although his words sounded ridiculous and would make anyone feel start to laugh, when the rest around heard those words no one dared to scoff or start to mock; they understood that Khal knew Liza the best and with his current strength had everything to say such bold words even if they seemed ridiculous at first sight!

"Two months?" suddenly Liza wiped the tears away from her eyes and when she showed a cocky smile that surprised everyone, even Khal, she said with confidence, "I will reach the Second Realm in less than a month, I swear that on my name! And when I do..."

And after saying those words, she quickly grabbed Khal by the collar and after pulling him closer, she gave him a firm but gentle kiss!

Khal at first was shocked by this sudden and bold move of Liza as there were still others present, but when he felt the heavenly softness of Liza's lips he quickly threw the rest of his thought to the back of his head and decided to enjoy the moment.

"Haha! That is youth for you!" Bazz laughed happily, watching the two kissing each other in front of them without a single care in the world.

As for the rest, they remained silent and averted their gazes, acting as if they saw nothing. Scarlett, who was red like a ripe tomato, even turned around but as for why it was unknown.

After enjoying the pleasure that invaded his mind every time their lips contacted, Khal leaned backward and looked at Liza with a smile before watching as his body slowly started to fade.

"Well, it seems I don't have any time left." Khal smiled and said as he glanced at everyone in front of him, "I have done everything I could, it is now on you guys. Also, when you ascend, make sure to use your Moon Tokens. I will wait for you in Moon Sect."

And with those last words, Khal faded into thin air, leaving the group of experts alone in the mansion in nothing but sheer silence where the only thing that could be heard was the windows rattling whenever a slightly stronger breeze hit them from outside!
