Chapter 24: An ominous end, the inheritance of Origin Techniques!
The second-generation Yuan Tian Master looked at the young man before him, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.
"How did you know?"
Yuan Tianshi's later years were ominous, and even he only gradually felt it after entering his old age. How did this person in front of him know this?
Could it be that this person knows the reason for Master Yuan's unfortunate later years?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. Even he didn't know the reason, so how could this young man in front of him possibly know?
As for whether any other powerful individuals knew about this, he held absolutely no hope.
He obtained the inheritance of Master Yuan by chance; before him, there were no records of Master Yuan in the world.
He then immediately pulled Song Hui aside and personally set up a barrier to completely cut off their conversation.
"Not only am I aware of this matter, but I have also witnessed an ominous end for him!" Song Hui said.
The later years of the Source Celestial Masters were extremely ominous and terrifying. Apart from the sixth-generation Source Celestial Master Ye Fan, none of the previous Source Celestial Masters escaped this fate.
According to the original history, the second generation of Yuan Tianshi would have an unfortunate old age, and the same was true for the third, fourth and fifth generation Yuan Tianshi.
The second-generation Yuan Tianshi must have realized this, which is why he wanted his essence blood, because his essence blood has a miraculous effect of sealing.
Using his essence and blood as a guide, combined with other methods, this should be the method by which the second-generation Source Master combated the ominous signs of his later years.
As for when he saw the ominous signs of his later years, it was naturally during the Great Accomplishment Holy Body in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
"You know? You actually know?" Master Yuan's face was full of excitement, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Only through personal experience can one truly understand how terrifying an unfortunate old age can be.
He had only just entered his later years when he felt a strong sense of crisis. He had tried countless methods, but none of them worked.
He had spoken with many powerful figures about this, but none of them could explain why his later years were so unlucky.
To his surprise, his first breakthrough came from a young man.
"It's related to the underworld!" Song Hui didn't hide anything and said directly.
Whether it's the misfortune in the later years of the Great Accomplished Holy Body or the misfortune in the later years of the Source Book, they all actually come from the same source.
This is a curse, a curse originating from the supreme being of the underworld!
The curse is invisible and intangible, rooted in the bloodline. To eradicate it completely, the only way is to find a solution at its source.
But this is a dead end, because the curse originates from the Supreme Being, and unless the Supreme Being is killed, the curse will exist forever.
Just like the Great Accomplished Holy Body in the Jade Pool Holy Land, who also encountered misfortune in his later years, even the powerful Queen Mother of the West was helpless.
As far as he knew, the Queen Mother of the West had personally gone to the underworld, but in the end, the Great Accomplished Holy Body was still sealed at the bottom of the Immortal Pool.
Of course, he didn't tell Yuan Tianshi these things, because even if Yuan Tianshi knew, it would only cause him more trouble.
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!" Master Yuan muttered to himself, his face full of dejection.
No need for further explanation; he only needs to know that his misfortune in his later years is related to the underworld, and everything else will be self-evident.
This is precisely the reason for his dejection, which is related to a forbidden zone of life. Isn't the ominous end of Master Yuan's life unsolvable?
Without saying a word, Song Hui forced out a few drops of his essence blood and presented them to Master Yuan.
"The effects of my essence blood might be even better once my cultivation level improves!"
Although his current essence and blood have a miraculous effect of sealing, they are of little help in preventing the ominous signs in Master Yuan's later years.
However, with the martial arts furnace present, his physical body can continue to transform, and the sealing effect contained in his essence blood may become better and better.
Even if the curse cannot be broken, it can still help Master Yuan seal himself, preventing him from becoming a mindless monster.
"Thank you, young friend!" Master Yuan sighed and put away his essence blood.
Time was running out for him; he didn't know he didn't have time to wait for the young man in front of him to grow up.
Thinking of this, he hesitated for a long time, but still took out a silver book with three big characters engraved on it: Origin Book!
"I'm giving this book to you, young friend. If fate allows, could you help me find a successor?" Master Yuan said in a deep voice.
He was old, and his departure would mean preparing for an unfortunate old age, with his future uncertain and his fate unknown.
After learning that the ominous events of Master Yuan's later years were related to the underworld, he should have left with the Yuan Heavenly Book.
However, he couldn't bear to see the lineage of the Source Celestial Master cut off, so he could only entrust the "Source Celestial Book" to the young man in front of him.
Besides the unexpected inheritance from the Source Celestial Master, the "Source Celestial Book" also contains his life's work.
The young man before him revealed the truth to him, and he didn't want this person to be tainted by misfortune; otherwise, this person would be a good successor.
"Rest assured, senior, I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Song Hui said solemnly.
He met Master Yuan by chance, and the fact that the other party entrusted him with the "Book of Yuan" was already a rare act of trust.
Now, he is helpless about the ominous signs in Master Yuan's later years and can only hope that Master Yuan can hold on for a little longer.
If he can attain enlightenment and become an emperor in the future, he will have the opportunity to help Master Yuan resolve his misfortunes in his later years.
Master Yuan removed the seal, gave Song Hui a deep look, then turned and left, his figure looking desolate.
As Song Hui watched Yuan Tianshi's retreating figure, he knew very well that Yuan Tianshi's fate was uncertain after his departure, and fighting against the ominous signs of his later years would not be an easy task.
Even someone as powerful as the Great Accomplished Holy Body was helpless against the misfortunes of old age, let alone the Source Celestial Master.
"Where will you be going next, fellow Daoist?"
He didn't ask any questions about Song Hui's conversation with the second-generation Yuan Tianshi; that was Song Hui's own secret.
He was more concerned about Song Hui's upcoming schedule, and since he had nothing else to do, he hoped to spend more time talking with Song Hui.
"Back to the Holy City!" Song Hui said.
The second-generation Yuan Tian Master entrusted him with the "Yuan Tian Book," ostensibly to find a successor, but this did not mean he was not allowed to cultivate the "Yuan Tian Book."
What he lacks most right now is cultivation resources, and the "Origin Book" is undoubtedly a godsend for him.
Once one has mastered the Origin Techniques recorded in the Origin Book, sweeping through all the gambling stone shops in the Holy City will be an easy task.
Acquiring a large amount of cultivation resources in a short period of time is not exactly easy, but it is by no means difficult for Yuan Tianshi.
"Since you are returning to the Holy City, please stay at Miaoyu Nunnery for a while!" Miao Qingfan said with a smile.
She was worried about how to get closer to Song Hui, and Song Hui's return to the Holy City was undoubtedly the thing she wanted to see most.
As long as Song Hui stays at Miaoyu Nunnery, she really doesn't believe that Song Hui can remain completely unresponsive after spending so much time together.
Clearly, without realizing it, she had come to regard Song Hui as an excellent investment target that she couldn't afford to miss.
Soon, Song Hui and his two companions returned to the Holy City. In the following period, Song Hui kept a low profile and rarely went out.
He had been diligently cultivating, but as for the "Book of Origin," he only read it once and did not cultivate the Origin Techniques recorded in it.
He knew very well that no matter how much he cultivated, it would take a lot of time, but in the Martial Arts Furnace, he could achieve success in one fell swoop.
