Chapter 36: -36- Daoist Silent Sage



Chapter 36: -36- Daoist Silent Sage

"I will now tell you a little bit about your new late master..." the old man began, ignoring the new halls for now.

"His name was Kian Obsidian. He was born to the Obsidian clan, which has multiple true immortals at its helm, millions of years ago. He quickly rose through the ranks with his astonishing talent and cultivation speed, but his arrogance was his downfall. He thought that nothing could stop his climb, not even the heavens themselves. But due to his arrogance, he failed his heavenly tribulation, barely able to escape as a loose immortal."

"A loose immortal!! I kowtowed not once, not twice, but three fucking times to a loose immortal!" Kai yelled in Silas's head. He was not pleased. Luckily, though, he knew to keep it all on the inside and didn't show his displeased look.

"Just listen. You've seen this place. Just because the creator was a loose immortal doesn't mean we can't gain something good," Silas sent back. Silas knew from the letter he found that Daoist Silent Sage was just a loose immortal, but he also knew that he had the strength comparable to at least a True Immortal, which was telling of his power. To be able to leap not only a rank but a True Immortal rank was nothing to scoff at.

"Hmph, fine!" Kai sent back.

"Upset with his failure, he went back to his clan, his spirit already at rock bottom. But where he used to be the rising young star of his mighty clan, he was now ostracized. Unable to take this, he left the clan, ready to take his own life."

"He stood at the precipice of his own end, where the boundless heavens had denied him, and the clan he had glorified turned its back on him. Yet, in that darkest moment, when his heart teetered on the edge of oblivion, the universe itself seemed to whisper to him, revealing the Grand Dao like a light breaking through the night. It was as if the heavens gave him a second chance, not at immortality, but at understanding."

"On that day, with his moment of insight, he managed to comprehend a complete Grand Dao from touched to perfection in one fell swoop."

"This completely changed his life, and from that day on, even though his path to immortality had been cut short, he dedicated his life to the Dao."

"The man who once walked as a proud conqueror now moved as a silent pilgrim, seeking nothing more than the way, the path, the Dao. No longer did he strive for fame or power. The brilliance of his youth was replaced by the quiet humility of a man who knew his greatest enemy had always been his own impatience. Each step on his journey after that was measured, thoughtful, and deliberate, like a river eroding the rock—slow but unstoppable."

"This is when he changed his Daoist title to Daoist Silent Sage."

"He soon comprehended tens of Grand Dao paths, and eventually, he even managed to comprehend several Heavenly Daos, becoming a legendary Dao Ancestor, which is a title usually reserved only for the likes of rank 9 Ancestral Immortals."

"You see, he wasn't just any loose immortal..." Silas sent Kai.

"I guess he's alright," Kai said, starting to feel a little better.

"This is what made him so strong and what allowed him to stay alive for tens of millions of years as a loose immortal. With his strength, he secretly sparred with the likes of rank 8 Celestial Immortals and became friends with Ancestral Immortals. In the later years of his life, he decided to create me as his life's work. This immortal estate was to teach talented disciples the way forward."

"To take the path of cultivation one step at a time and never rush, lest they end up like him."

"Daoist Silent Sage surmised that with his talent for cultivation and the Dao, he would have far surpassed his clan's patriarch as a rank 7 True Immortal and become a rank 9 Ancestral Immortal. But talent, he realized, is nothing without time to nurture it. What good is brilliance if it burns out too soon?"

"It is this lesson he carved into the foundations of this immortal estate so that those who follow him—like you, Silas, and Kai—may learn not to repeat his mistakes. The true path to power is not a race but a journey, one where even a single misstep can end everything."

"He also realized that his path was flawed. He had forsaken the body cultivation path due to its slow speed and only strode down the path of a Qi cultivator. He decided that the proper path of a cultivator is to stride down both paths equally, with a heavy emphasis on Fiendgod Body cultivation, saying that it was the stronger, safer, and more reliable path—the path of survival."

"Now that you know a little bit more about your late master, I will tell you about what you can gain from this immortal estate," the old man said as he motioned to the four halls that had just appeared.

The group then walked over to the first hall.

"This is the treasure hall," the old man said.

Inside the treasure hall, Silas could see all kinds of different magic treasures, each emanating a powerful and ancient aura. There were weapons as well as formation flags and other artifacts that could be seen inside.

'Wow,' Silas thought as he looked at a particularly impressive-looking spear. The aura coming off of it was deadly.

"The treasures in this hall are all of immense value. Each one was collected by the master of the estate with his disciples in mind, and while you might not be able to find exactly what you want, you can always pick something valuable and sell or trade it for something else you need."

"What do we need to do to be able to select one of these treasures?" Silas asked.

"There are two ways to have the ability to select a treasure. The first is to progress equally as a Qi and body cultivator. So at every rank, you will be able to select an equivalent treasure as long as you rank up in both Qi and body cultivation. You are currently both a Transcendent lifeform in Qi and body cultivation, so you will be able to select one ranked(rank 2) magic treasure, but we will save that for later. The second way is through the battle hall. There are 10 levels to the battle hall. The first two are equal to Spiritual grade magic treasures, the next two are equal to earth grade magic treasures, and so on."

"I'll also add that the quality of each of these magic treasures is either high or at the peak of their respective ranks, with a select few even being supreme-grade treasures."

Silas nodded his head in understanding.

"Let's continue," the old man said as he walked the group to the next hall.

"This is the battle hall. I've already described to you the battle hall, so I will just add that this hall is the most dangerous place inside the estate, but it is also filled with opportunity..."

The old man then walked them to the other side of the main hall.

"This is the divine abilities hall. Here, you are given three different divine abilities at three different levels of your cultivation journey."

'Nice,' Silas thought with his eyes raised. He looked forward to the types of divine abilities that would be given here.

"Upon reaching Revolving Core in both Qi and body cultivation, you will be given the divine ability Heavenly Transformation..."

Upon hearing this, both Silas and Kai's heads dipped down a little. They had already gained this divine ability from their inherited memories.

"I know that you two have already managed to gain this divine ability, but there is nothing I can do. These are the rules set by the master of this immortal estate, and his rules are final."

"But I will add that this divine ability is an excellent one... while the prerequisites for this divine ability are low, it can be trained to a very high level and can even be comparable to some truly formidable divine abilities. It is considered the foundational divine ability of any Fiendgod, which is why your master selected it for you."

"With this divine ability, with enough insight and control, one can increase their height to one hundred meters, one thousand meters, ten thousand meters, or even more. From this, one can see how strong and powerful this divine ability can become."

"The next divine ability is gained once you become a Sage in both Qi and body cultivation. It is a movement-type divine ability. While the Heavenly Transformation divine ability is the foundational divine ability of any Fiendgod, a good movement-type divine ability is just as essential for survival."

"And the last divine ability is gained when one becomes a True Immortal and a True God. It is a sealing-type divine ability. The master of this estate was not a man of reckless slaughter, so he also didn't wish to pass on a divine ability that would allow his disciples to kill with abandon. But while this isn't an attack-type divine ability, it is still a miraculous and strong divine ability that was created by an Ancestral Immortal and friend of the late master."

"I will also add that since the late master stressed the importance of equally going down both paths, you must rank up equally in both qi and body to gain the divine abilities."
