72 Chapter 72 – Invitation
Zhu Xuan was sitting on a rock looking at the sky deep in thoughts.
Wu Qing and the others looking at him deep in thoughts and not sure whether they should go talk to him and they recalled the moment he came out of the Ruin while the entire ruin collapsed behind him.
They still have mixed feelings thinking how did he even manage to destroy the Ruin and asked him about it but he said needed some time to get his thoughts right and has been sitting there silently for quite a while now.
After a while, Zhu Xuan let out a sigh and turned towards them.
Wu Qing is the one who approached him and asked him with concern "What happened inside the Ruin? What were you thinking about?"
Hearing her second sentence he let out another sigh. He felt tired just thinking about it.
Zhu Xuan learned from the soul spirit that the east continent has a total of 63 dynasties and their dynasty, Fanrong Dynasty was one of the low level Dynasty. There are 9 top level dynasties, 22 medium level dynasties and the 31 dynasties are low level dynasties. Above all this stands the Thunder God Dynasty.
The two information that shocked him the most was that Fenghua grandmaster, who is at Qi Dan initial stage, spent more than one year to reach Fanrong Dynasty from Thunder God Dynasty crossing eight dynasties. And the other information is the peak powerhouse of the eastern continent is Qi Dan peak stage, and anyone who has to breakthrough further has to leave the continent to go to the central continent.
He already learned about the cultivation limits of the east continent from the soul spirit. It goes as Body purification stage, Qi gathering stage, Qi Sea Stage, and finally Qi Dan stage and each stage separated into four levels initial stage, mid stage, late stage and peak stage
He remembered exactly about his father coming from central continent to east continent back to Zhu clan in exactly three months, and that too while fighting and killing all the way.
He wondered in worry "If Jinghua grandmaster, who reached the final stage once can achieve in this continent, took more than one year to come from Thunder God Dynasty to Fanrong Dynasty, then how powerful would have been his father and his enemies to come from central continent to Zhu clan in just three months?"
"He felt too powerless thinking about it and kept thinking what made such powerful people to chase his father all this way to kill both of them?"
But neither did he have an answer to this question or strength or a strong backing to go against those powerful enemies and his heart felt heavy. Senior Long also didn't say anything and thought it is best for Zhu Xuan to decide on his own.
Finally, Zhu Xuan came to the decision he could only try to get strong faster to be able to go against them. He has the Origin system and now Bodhi essence fire which will help increasing the cultivation speed of the cultivator so he had some confidence and determined to become stronger and clenched his hand.
His first goal right now is to gain access into the Lei Shu academy to kill Zhu Lang or make him come out of the academy and kill him as soon as possible because he knows now how much he wanted to become stronger after the information he got from the soul spirit and that will definitely influence his bloodline if he lost control over it.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and smiled at Wu Qing but everyone can see that something was different about him.
Wu Qing asked with concern "Are you alright Brother Shen? You don't look well for a while now."
Zhu Xuan just smiled and responded "I'm alright Wu Qing. It's just that the information I got made me too overwhelmed and I needed some time to sort things out."
Wu Qian Ren and others also approached him and he asked "What information Brother Shen? And what happened to the Ruin?"
He understood what he was implying when he asked about the ruins. They all knew the only reason the ruin getting collapsed because the soul spirit is dead or taken away from the core so everyone thought Zhu Xuan acquired the Soul Spirit weapon. Thankfully, the soul spirit already gave him an idea for an excuse.
So, first he explained everything learned about the eastern continent, various dynasties and about pathways to the central continent. Everyone was shocked to find the east continent has so many powerful dynasties and felt sad that they are just a kingdom in one of the lower power dynasty.
He also mentioned about the remains of Jinghua grandmaster and his heaven's oath to return his remains to his hometown when his cultivation is strong enough, but he didn't mention anything about the enemies of Jinghua grandmaster or his actual strength. He mentioned those enemies were after his soul weapon and he was heavily injured in that fight and succumbed to his injuries later.
Finally, he spoke slowly "The Ruin is destroyed because the soul spirit of the weapon had its soul faded. It also mentioned on their final fight it was also heavily injured with its entire array destroyed. It paid a heavy price to let his master escape and it was only maintaining the ruins until it found a successor."
Then he took out a sword with all its arrays destroyed and with lacking luster and spoke to Wu Qian Ren "I know it's hard for you to believe me. You can take a look at this soul weapon sword that belonged to Jinghua Grandmaster and ask the seniors from your family to verify whether my claim is true or not. But I do need the sword back after you verify my word since this is the sword Jinghua grandmaster had with him since his childhood and I promised to return it along with his remains to his family."
Wu Qian Ren smiled uncomfortably hearing Zhu Xuan's words realizing their thoughts were seen through and said "Forgive me for doubting you Brother Shen since the anything regarding Soul Weapons is too important. But I promise you on my name once the sword was tested and verified by the higher ups of the family, I will return it to you."
"I understand you difficulties Brother Qian Ren, you don't need to apologize to me." Zhu Xuan smiled and responded.
Then they relaxed and sat down to eat outside the tent.
Wu Qian Ren, Wu Qing and Wu Shi Yun discussed something for a while and then Wu Qian Ren spoke to Zhu Xuan "Brother Shen, You ever thought about joining the Lei Shu academy?"
Zhu Xuan gave a self deprecating smile and said "Of course I wanted to join the academy and improve myself, but only the top clans and families in the city are allowed to enter the selections and I'm just a rogue cultivator who depends on selling resources I find in the Snowcape Demon Mountain. How will I be able to go to the academy?"
Wu Qian Ren smiled and said with face full of pride and confidence "What if I recommend you to enter our Lei Shu Academy?"
Wu Qing and the others looking at him deep in thoughts and not sure whether they should go talk to him and they recalled the moment he came out of the Ruin while the entire ruin collapsed behind him.
