Chapter 496 -27 The Reason for Preaching, ‘Sudden Enlightenment

Inside the Spirit Clan, the joy was more than happiness, it was ecstasy.

The problems of the Spirit Clan didn’t seem very big at the moment, as they were still a powerful force, and the Human Race had not imposed any restrictions.

However, they understood that as time progressed, if there was no change, the decline of the Spirit Clan would be inevitable.

But at that moment, Long Lie appeared, breaking through the upper limit of the Spirit Clan’s strength, and even established “Spirit Path,” opening a new path for the Spirit Clan.

Not long after, all the Spirit Clan Elders gathered again, only this time, Long Lie was among them.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Long Lie, they knew this was not a dream.

The Dragon Clan Elder, transformed into a human, had a face full of smiles, “Good, very good, the Spirit Clan finally has a way forward, Long Lie, you have done very well!”

“It’s just that I was luckier, Elder,” Long Lie, despite his breakthrough, did not show arrogance. The Spirit Clan had come this far thanks to generations of Elders’ great contributions.

“This is not something that can be achieved just by luck, you should know the predicament of the Spirit Clan as well. Your breakthrough has directly broken this predicament. Can you explain how you managed to break through? Of course, if it’s not possible, we won’t force you,” an elder said.

“Of course, there’s no problem. Actually, when I say my breakthrough was luck, I wasn’t lying. You elders must also be aware of the matter with the Hanhai Dragon King, right?”

The Hanhai Dragon King, although a matter of the Dragon Clan, was also a crucial motivating factor in the Spirit Clan’s decision to integrate with the Human Race. Naturally, they were aware.

“What does the Hanhai Dragon King have to do with your breakthrough, Long Lie? I remember the Hanhai Dragon King didn’t leave any legacy, and his body was taken by the Human Race to be sacrificed for hundreds of thousands of lost souls.” The Dragon Clan Elder was even more aware of the whereabouts of the Hanhai Dragon Clan’s body.

Although it was a Dragon Clan body, the sins of the Hanhai Dragon King were too great, and there was no hope of preserving the body, so they did not bother with it, nor could they.

In fact, they hated the Hanhai Dragon King even more than the Human Race did.

He had desecrated the bloodline of the Dragon Clan once.

It was because he understood the Hanhai Dragon King that the Dragon Clan Elder was even more puzzled.

“I once accompanied a great person to the Hanhai Dynasty, and I witnessed up close that great person’s encounter with the Hanhai Dragon King. Originally, there was nothing special; that kind of battle was something I couldn’t understand. Not long ago, I awoke the Spirit Clan’s innate talent!”

Long Lie was just speaking normally, but he had no idea the impact his words had on the many elders.

“Talent, Long Lie, did you say you awoke your talent?”

One of the pathways they initially considered was related to the innate talent of the Spirit Clan.

They thought Long Lie’s breakthrough and finding another path was surprising enough, not realizing it would be a double surprise.

Both the path forward and the talent were satisfied!

Could Long Lie’s awakening of talent mean that the talents of other Spirit Clan members might also return?

“Yes, talent. Weren’t there signs a few years ago that talents were returning?” Long Lie, a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan, mostly spent his time cultivating and naturally was unaware of the Spirit Clan Elders’ worries.

“Indeed, there were signs of return a few years ago, but…”

The Dragon Clan Elder briefly outlined the content of the meeting.

“I see…” Long Lie understood, then continued, “Actually, the elders need not worry too much. Breaking through as a Great Grandmaster is just the beginning; even if the breakthrough is later, there’s still a possibility to catch up.”

After his breakthrough, he understood that the competition had just begun. With no clear path forward, a premature breakthrough might not guarantee staying ahead.

But an elder shook his head, “Now that you’ve broken through, your perspective is higher than ours. You can see things we cannot, hence such thoughts, but we are different…”

Long Lie fell silent for a while, realizing he had taken too much for granted.

The elders bore the responsibility of leading the Spirit Clan forward; their pressure was not something he could compare to.

In their uncertain view of the path ahead, their thoughts were the most accurate.

“I was wrong in my understanding!” Long Lie voiced his apology.

“Your perspective is different; there’s no need to apologize, especially since with your breakthrough, the problems we worried about have been resolved. We should be happy.”

At these words, all the elders involuntarily showed smiles.

With the problem resolved, they all felt much relieved.

“Indeed, no need to worry any longer, Long Lie. Since you established the Spirit Path, does that mean all members of the Spirit Clan can learn your method? The cultivation path of the Human Race is becoming less and less suitable for the Spirit Clan, even the cultivation of the Spirit King has started to decline.”

The Spirit Clan had its own cultivation method, allowing more Spirit Clan members to reach higher realms.

For the time being, the Human Race had no particular intentions towards the Spirit Clan, treating them equally, but the Spirit Clan could not be without its own safeguards.

“The cultivation of the Spirit King has started to decline?” Long Lie had not expected the situation to be so severe, “The reason why I named it Spirit Path is that all of the Spirit Clan can cultivate it. I used my talent to penetrate some principles of how the Hanhai Dragon King became stronger and combined it with the previous path of talents to create the Spirit Path, but—”

An “but” made all the elders tense up.

“But what?”

“But the Spirit Path is still very immature, there are many deficiencies. If I have to say, it’s actually similar to the situation with the Body Cultivation Method at Datong College!”

All the elders were startled.

Body Cultivation, a path created by Martial Saint Zhu Xiao, distinguished from the Qi Blood Martial Arts.

Although this path could lead directly above a Great Grandmaster, compared to the Qi Blood Martial Arts, which had developed over thousands of years, it could only be said to be very immature.
