Chapter 746: Seeking Advice

Sage walked across the top of the dais towards the huge stone casket. He couldnt help but admire the masterful craftsmanship that went into creating the extremely lifelike and highly detailed stone statue on top of the lid. It looked just like a person lying in repose upon a stone slab, but it had the texture of stone. The stone had the same color as a flesh tone might, but he merely commended the artist for their excellent choice of material. Hed seen stone with bright black and white patterns, vividly colored red and greens with complicated spatters and many other types of stones back on Earth, so a stone with a skin-like color was no big deal.

It was the same regal face he remembered, with pointed eyebrows and a well trimmed mustache. Sage examined the stone face for a moment before he remembered himself and kneeled down on the ground. He lowered his forehead down to touch the ground and paid respect to his ancestor. Hed been in this life many many times longer than Earth, and hed merged with many different beings. Hed long ago come to terms with being many things at once. His identity included many different individual personalities and he was all of them at the same time. He no longer worried about being discovered as an imposter or being unworthy of carrying the name of a person whose body he took over. As soon as he stood back up, that deep voice echoed around him.

You finally return. Didnt I say to come back once you formed a core, why did you wait until you coalesced your Nascent Soul?This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Forgive me Ancestor. I ran into many difficulties along the way. I also felt guilty because of the assistance you gave me last time. I didnt want to ask for more before keeping my promise.

Before keeping

The ancestors voice trailed off and then Sage felt a pulse of Qi wash over him. It was washed past him and then he lost track of it. It didnt disappear, but once it left the small area that he had his Spiritual Sense covering it was like the wave of Qi had never existed.

Interesting! So many of them with my blood. What did you do? Theyre all beasts. How can there be so many generations this quickly, did you choose a weak Spirit Insect that breeds quickly?

Sage felt a slight overtone of rage in the ancestors words and without any resistance at all he felt himself cowering backwards. He stopped himself after taking a step back and he gave the ancestors casket a low bow, Forgive me ancestor, we are no longer humans. I chose to use the Colossal Iron Mantis and modified it to give us unique advantages. Every clan member is now born with ancestral memories of how to apply a Human Seal. Each of them acts as a human from birth and only releases their true form for emergencies. They arent living and breeding rapidly as insects.

After what seemed like an eternity of silence the ancestor let out a sigh, After you chose to be a monster, I was worried for the future of the clan, but it seems you have extremely strange luck. Ill just have to hope that you survive long enough to truly bring us back to prosperity. You seek to avenge the wrongs perpetrated against the clan. That is good, but you must be cautious. Do not ever offend the Imperial Family. If we have to act to protect you, that will squander what precious time we have remaining. Dont disappoint us.

Imperial Family? Is that the Royal Family?

The royals answer to the imperials. The Dou Family are subordinates of the Tianxia Family. The Tianxia Capital is quite a ways from here, the tower rises to the heavens to signify their power and ties to their namesake, under heaven. Its a bold claim to declare ownership of all under heaven, but their ancestors did a pretty good job. Dont try to go against them or youll ruin the clan again. Anyway, Ive wasted enough time. Youve done well so far, but dont get complacent. You have to protect the clan and keep improving your strength. If you become a saint then getting the revenge you seek will take just a flip of your hand.

Sage was startled by this command, All cultivators dream to become saints, but how can I do that? All I know is that we must advance our understanding of the laws, but nobody has any idea how to do that. This ungrateful descendant begs for your help.

He bowed to the casket again, but the ancestor just laughed at him, Hahaha. So quick to change your tune. Well done, but Im afraid youre out of luck. Only the Imperials are allowed to pass down a cultivation technique that can take you to sainthood. Heh, I can see that look in your eyes, but dont even think about it. Even if you steal their method it only works with a specific cultivation technique tailored to match the imperial bloodline and it requires very rare materials to take to completion. Those materials are expensive even for them.

Oh ho! Did I hear someone mention expensive materials?

At that moment, they were interrupted by a third voice. A swirl of smoke appeared next to Sage and a slovenly dressed fellow with his robe hanging off one shoulder was standing there with a long metal pipe in hand. His whole arm was out of the sleeve of his robe, exposing half his chest and exposing the fact that despite his amazingly beautiful and attractive face he was in fact a man.

Mmm, I can always smell a heavy purse. So, who wishes to conduct a deal?
