Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 55: Tan Family History Part 4

"Yes, I gave him a Devil Cultivation Technique but there are only four levels. Originally, this technique had nine but he only has four that he must get other five levels. But those levels are in the devil world. And, to enter the devil world, one must be a devil."

"That's why Qin must enter the Secret Realm, and merge with the devil part. Since he is already tied up with Tan Family from marriage, he won't have a difficult time accepting our request. That's why I gave him the devil cultivation technique." The Great Elder nodded his head and explained.

Hearing his words, Tan San was a little unsatisfied. Although he doesn't mind getting help from his future son-in-law, he felt Great Elder was putting too much pressure on him. Not to mention, he might not even want the devil's power.

The Great Elder easily saw through his mood and smiled "Little San, do you know anything about me?"

When the Great Elder call him little San, Tan San was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered his childhood where he used to be called that by the Great Elder. Then, he thought more and realized that even before his grandfather's rule, the Great Elder used to live in the family.

This was told by his grandfather himself.

The Great Elder smiled and said "Would you believe that I've been living in the family for a thousand years?"

When Tan San heard that, his eyes shrunk. He couldn't believe it. Normally, a Revolving Core Cultivator can barely live past five hundred years. But then, he realized he never knew the Great Elder's cultivation.

"If you are curious about my cultivation then let me tell you straight. I was an Ancestor Realm cultivator five thousand years ago."

This time Tan San was completely shaken. He couldn't even believe his own ears now. Ancestor Realm was the goal of every cultivator and now an ancestor realm cultivator is standing in front of him and even respecting him a few times.

That's not possible, at least he doesn't believe it. But suddenly, he thought of something.

"You said, you were an ancestor realm cultivator five thousand years ago. What about now?"

Hearing his question, the Great Elder smiled and said "Yes, as you guessed, I am no longer an ancestor realm cultivator. Five Thousand Years Ago, I tried to peak in the future. It was taboo for the cultivator but I did it to see my Tan Family's future."

"And, there I found someone who stands out very much in the future. His talent shone throughout our world. But, he came from a very humble background. His village was slaughtered when he was ten. He came to our village, asked for a job in our family but got rejected."

"Thus, he became the apprentice of an old alchemist who is on the verge of death. Through that, he started his journey of cultivation. From the tender age of ten, he had an obsession with two things. Power and Sword."

"His heart was obsessed with a sword while his mind was obsessed with power. That's why he took many shortcuts, and even choose some evil path. Because, for him, there was no such thing as evil. As long as he doesn't commit a crime, then it is okay for him."

"After peaking in his future, I got backlashed and my cultivation started diminishing. Even though I still have the lifespan of an Ancestor, I only have the power of Revolving Core Realm. And, the more I use my power, the worst it will be."

"That's why I do not use my powers as for the rest, I don't think I need to explain."

Tan San remains frozen in his seat. There were too many pieces of information that he got right now. It didn't even feel real for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and stared at the Great Elder, asking him "If so, why didn't you tell me before?"

"What if we had killed him without knowing the truth?"

The Great Elder shook his head and said "I don't know his path now. When I accepted him to my family, I had completely changed his path. And, to make even more changes, I gave that old alchemist a quick death."

"Since I've already changed everything, we know nothing about the future. If he can't even stay alive from you guys, how can he accomplish his task?"

Tan San remained silent for a moment. He tried to take and digest all the information he had received today. After a long silence, he asked "So, do you think we can return back to the family?"

"If he agrees to help you, then you can. But, only if he doesn't die in the middle. As I said, I have changed his fate completely. And, now I don't know what his future will be. So, if you think he can live and get us to success then you might be completely wrong."

"But, I don't suggest you lose hope as well." Finally, the Great Elder retreated and left the room. Inside, Tan San fell in some deep consideration.

Inside the mysterious space,

Qin was completely unaware of everything. He was training on a bucket full of water and lightning. But, this wasn't normal water. It was also healing him while injuring him.

"Ughhh!"

Qin grunted in pain as he tried to swallow it down but the pain was still overwhelming. His body cells were getting destroyed and healed and destroyed and healed. The power of lightning was dangerous but he was holding on as much as he could.

After all, there is a saying 'No pain, no gain'. If he doesn't suffer, he won't grow up. If he doesn't swallow the pain, he won't get stronger. He wanted to be stronger. No matter the cost, no matter the pain, he must grow stronger, for his dream, or for his goal, he must get stronger.

Qin stayed unmoved while bearing the immense pain. He wanted to scream but he had kept his mouth shut. He can't beat strong with determination alone but he can use this determination to get stronger by not giving up.

While his body was getting stronger, he was constantly falling into the enlightenment state where he was comprehending the Lightning Element. Since the lightning element was the most destructive element, he must be careful while comprehending it.

Because he didn't want to increase the scope of destruction and let his own body suffer. Currently, his body wasn't in the state to take more damage. The healing properties of the solution were very healing him.

While comprehending the lightning element, he also discovered more about his fire element and wind element. Both of these elements were basic elements but also the foundation of everything. According to the Five Elemental Qi Gathering Technique, five elements creates life.

He doesn't know how this happened but five elements are indeed the foundation of every living being. Humans need air survive, their body need flames to burn the food inside their own body. They need water to keep the body alive.

Their bodies have many similar properties to earth. As for the metals, he doesn't know how is this related? Nor he cares about it. While comprehending lightning, he basically understood that fire also means destruction.

Because, fire means to burn, and burning something could create an explosion. Or even pressuring fire for a long time can create explosions. He can do a lot of things with fire. But, fire is mostly attack based element.

And, Wind is a movement-based element. The Wind is simply fast. Of course, lightning is also an exception. It has both speeds of wind and the destructiveness of fire. There are nine elements known to him. Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wind, Lightning, Ice, Light, and Dark.

He plans to comprehend all nine elements and put each element in each core. And, make the lightning his base. Because lightning belongs to his bloodline and his bloodline can give him the permanent physique in a few months.

Currently, he only has his hands on seven elements. Including the Five Elemental Qi Gathering Technique, he has Lightning Hegemon Technique and Ice King Spiritual Body Technique. Unlike Lightning Hegemon Technique, Ice King Spiritual Technique is a complete body cultivation technique.

But, he can still comprehend Ice Element if he just tries enough. He constantly tempers himself in the water for six hours. And, the moment he walks out of the water after six hours, lightning bolts sparkles around his body.

He raises his hand and clenched his fist. He noticed the immense power following through his body. There is no level to this technique. Now, he can use it to absorb lightning qi inside his body from the Lightning Elemental Stone or absorb normal qi than transform it into lightning qi.

But, he can still improve his body. His current physical strength is only at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm. He can go beyond that but his body won't be able to handle that much destruction, not at his current qi level.

He must enter the Qi Condensation Realm so that his core can absorb the over amount of lightning qi inside his body rather than letting it destroy his body. Since nine meridians are established, he can absorb the lightning qi with ease.
