The Last Primal

Chapter 1075 1075 - The long wait

Although it was a seemingly insignificant action, it was a form of recognition.

Or rather, it was the Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect expressing his gratitude to Aiden.

"This treasure has followed me for more than 10,000 years. To think that it's still degraded to such a state in the end."

The skeleton retracted its palm and looked at Little Fatty before saying slowly, "Keep this Yellow Springs Diagram well. Once you advance to Martial Grandmaster realm, use it as your Destiny divine Weapon."

"Even if it can't reclaim its glory of the past, you'll have to repair it to the state of a Divine treasure!"

The pretext of the Yellow Springs Diagram turning into a Divine treasure was for Little Fatty to advance to the Divine Realm!

However, how difficult was it to achieve that?

Even this paragon who was once a titular disciple of Tomb Sect in the past right before them did not manage to finish that advancement.

"Don't worry, senior, I'll do my best!"

Little Fatty nodded furiously and put the Yellow Springs Diagram away with utmost importance.

The skeleton surveyed its surroundings and looked at the nervous spirit tiger, Ki Ki, and everyone else, saying gently, "There's no need to be afraid, I died a long time ago. The only thing remaining in my skeleton is a remnant of my consciousness."

"50,000 years ago, I failed to break through to the Divine Realm and was almost at the end of my lifespan. As such, I could only set up this Astral Dragon's Lair and await the future generation."

Everyone was confused.

Since he was already dead, how did his consciousness manage to survive till now?

The skeleton seemed to understand everyone's confusion and explained, "By making use of this tomb, my remnant consciousness fused into the dragon vein and concealed this heavenly secret. That was how I managed to remain here. Now that the dragon vein has been absorbed, I'm about to dissipate too."

Everyone was enlightened.

The skeleton continued, "The reason why I left this remnant consciousness was to prevent the Yellow Springs Diagram from falling into the hands of outsiders. The final test of this tomb is me!"

Upon hearing that, everyone had conflicted expressions and felt trepidation.

It was obvious what the skeleton was implying.

If one of them in the group harbored evil intentions and designs on the Yellow Springs Diagram, they would have been dead by now!

Although it was only a remnant consciousness of a Lesser God Realm Mighty Figure, it was strong enough to kill any of them present!

Aiden's mouth twitched.

The thoughts of this Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect could not be described simply as being cautious.

It was more like he was twisted!

Who would have expected that there would be a final test even after passing through all the various ones at the start!

At the same time, it was the scariest and most fatal test!

Aiden's heart skipped a beat as he turned to Lohn Kong at the side.

There was no hint of surprise in Lohn Kong's eyes, as though he had predicted this.

"Indeed!"

Aiden sneered internally, "What a crafty person!"

Back when they first entered, a thought crossed Aiden's mind when he saw that nothing in the palace seemed to have been touched – could Lohn Kong truly be so considerate?

It was only at this moment that he finally understood.

Lohn Kong had expected this scene before them long ago.

The skeleton turned and walked towards Aiden.

"There are four distinct auras coming from you!"

The skeleton said slowly, "From the immortal, Buddhist, and fiend sects… as well as a demonic energy!"

"Yes."

Aiden nodded.

Naturally, the secrets in his body could not be hidden from a Lesser God Realm Mighty Figure.

"Good, good. Very good."

The skeleton nodded repeatedly, seemingly pleased.

The skeleton retrieved an ancient book from the stone shelf at the side and wiped away the dust on it before handing it to Aiden. "Take this book with you. If you can fulfill my wish, you will definitely bring about blessings for the masses."

Aiden retrieved the ancient book and flipped it open gently. He merely took a quick glance before his expression changed.

The ancient book recorded trial methods for how mortals should train and form Martial Masters if they had no spirit roots!

Of course, all of those methods ended in failure.

However, there were a lot of thoughts and conclusions described behind the methods!

When he witnessed Su Hong reach the end of his lifespan and the pitiful lives of the citizens of Yan Country as their corpses sprawled everywhere, Aiden made a vow that he would create a Dao and alter the fates of the masses!

For anyone else, this ancient book would be equivalent to trash.

However, it was extremely important for Aiden!

The failed attempts and methods were precious experiences left behind by their predecessors.

It would save him a lot of time and effort!

The skeleton said, "I've lived for more than 20,000 years and most of my time was spent on this. It's a pity that I did not manage to find a path further."

"If you have the heart to do so, I can only rely on you to continue down this path. If even someone like you can't do it, I'm afraid this is probably a dead end…"

Aiden was someone who trained at all the paths that one thinks of. Be it the traditional righteous, the commonly accepted 'evil' fiendish, or the conservative 'religious', Aiden studied them all to create his own.

If even he could not create a path and establish a brand new path, there would probably be no one else in this world qualified to do so.

Of course, given Aiden's current martial realm, experience, and knowledge, he was way too far from being able to establish his path.

Aiden bowed deeply towards the skeleton and declared earnestly, "My sincere gratitude, senior! This book is of utmost importance to me!"

"Alright!"

The skeleton nodded and the light spot on its glabella had already grown faint.

After pondering for a moment, it turned and pointed towards the electric pool at the back that flashed purple. "This is a Purple Electric Pool and it can be used to refine one's body and weapons."

"There's an ancient manual in the middle of the electric pool and it's one of the martial techniques of the Dark Thunder Manual, known as the Purple Thunder Manual. It's a heaven-grade martial technique and contains a myriad of techniques. Apart from mental arts, there's also divine arts. Take it with you."

Aiden was delighted when he heard that.

martial techniques had four grades – heaven, earth, dark and light.

Azure Myst Sect did not even have a dark-grade martial technique or divine art!

Only aristocratic families and upper sects possessed dark-grade martial techniques and divine arts.

Earth-grade martial techniques and divine arts were limited to super sects and they were not allowed to be imparted or leaked to outsiders.

Although there were many martial techniques and divine arts on the stone shelves, Aiden saw that they were mostly light-grade. Even if there were any at dark-grade, they were individual volumes and were incomplete.

But now, there was a heaven-grade martial technique right in front of Aiden – this was a divine opportunity!

Furthermore, this was a section of the Dark Thunder Manual!

Aiden possessed the power of thunder within his body, to begin with. As such, his martial process would be much easier!

Now that everything was ready, Aiden only had to advance to Martial Grandmaster realm to be able to traine the Purple Thunder Manual.

Lohn Kong was green with envy once more.

"This must definitely be the effect of the dragon vein!"

Lohn Kong was on the brink of tears and lamented internally, "Otherwise, this opportunity would have most likely been mine!"

The skeleton turned back and returned to the platform. It sat down slowly with a relieved expression. "I can finally leave in peace now. All of you are good, very good."

With that, the light spot on the skeleton's glabella dimmed completely.

After losing the support of a Mighty Figure's energy, the skeleton collapsed and turned into dust!

Aiden sighed gently, looking emotional.

Legend has it that the lifespan of a Lesser God Realm Mighty Figure was more than 20,000 years.

However, this Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect was able to display such godly abilities to extend its time in this world to 50,000 years and witness this scene today.

It was only at this moment that his final trace of existence vanished from this world!

Without a word, everyone bowed in unison deeply towards the mound of dust.

It was a form of respect.

At the same time, it was a final farewell.
