MTLNOVEL Chapter 156: Legend of the Gods
At the third watch of the night, the darkness began to recede.
Outside Heaven Dou City, in the manor where the Breaking Clan resided.
Inside the classical and elegant living room, Yang Wudi, Dugu Bo, Meng Shu, and several others were summoned.
This was the first time they had been called together so late since they pledged their allegiance.
Although they didn't know what tasks would be assigned to them, they suspected the reason for the summons was related to the meteor shower that occurred around midnight.
Meteor showers appeared on the continent once every few decades or centuries. They were rare but not unheard of, with records in the archives of major sects and noble families, and more than one instance of such an event.
However, the meteor shower that appeared tonight was extraordinary.
Its unparalleled brilliance illuminated the entire night sky. Though it lasted only a moment, such an event was unprecedented.
What surprised them even more was that the meteor shower changed course midway. Twenty-six meteors scattered in all directions, vanishing into the night sky in an instant, their landing spots on the continent unknown.
In a corner of the living room, everyone sat around a table.
The old butler, Yu Yuan, sat at the head of the table, looking at everyone.
"Everyone, you all must have seen the meteor shower at midnight."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in response.
Ever since they obtained the Mysterious Heaven Skill, they had rarely slept after nightfall, choosing to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill instead of sleeping.
This cultivation method, far superior to meditation, still captivated them even after several months, making it impossible to extricate themselves from it.
Their Soul Power circulated through the twelve meridians along a unique path. The balanced and steady power cultivated by the Mysterious Heaven Skill continuously nourished their meridians and countless minor hidden injuries during the cultivation process.
After several months of cultivation, with their strong Soul Power as a foundation, each of them had at least cleared one of the eight extraordinary meridians.
The improvements in all aspects of their bodies after clearing the eight extraordinary meridians made them even more devoted to cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, as this technique offered them hope of reaching higher realms.
Compared to the focused concentration required for meditation, cultivating a technique allowed them to allocate more mental energy to perceive their surroundings.
When the meteor shower illuminated the night sky at midnight, its dazzling brilliance naturally awakened them from their cultivation.
"Very good, I'll get straight to the point." The old butler concisely relayed the young master's words to them.
"Tonight's meteor shower is related to gods, and it involves divine inheritance."
"Your mission is to find them."
Divine inheritance? These four words exploded in their minds like thunder from a clear sky. They all came from families of Spirit Masters and had naturally heard the legend of reaching level 100 and becoming a god.
"Becoming a god at level 100, isn't that just a legend?" Yang Wudi, the most straightforward among them, voiced his doubts.
"Could it be that gods truly exist in this world?"
"Of course, they do." Dugu Bo, sitting beside Yang Wudi, had a glint in his eyes, as if recalling something.
"The ancestor of the Qian family lineage in the Spirit Hall was a god who reached level 100."
"The divine Martial Soul of the Qian family lineage, the Six-Winged Angel, is the divine-level Martial Soul inherited from that Angel God."
"Furthermore, the Qian family of the Spirit Hall also possesses a complete set of Spirit Bones called the 'Angel Divine Armor.' Each Spirit Bone has an age of 99,999 years, just one year shy of 100,000 years."
"Old Yang, why else do you think the Spirit Hall is the most powerful force on the continent, and why have the Popes of the Spirit Hall throughout history all come from the Qian family?"
After saying this, Dugu Bo recalled the current Pope of the Spirit Hall and added at the end:
"Of course, Bibi Dong is an exception."
The legend of becoming a god at level 100 was confirmed, and everyone else marveled, but Yang Wudi was different.
Due to his hatred for the Spirit Hall, Yang Wudi's face showed no surprise at the confirmation of the legend. Instead, it was filled with resentment.
"The Spirit Hall has divine inheritance, and those meteors also contain divine inheritance."
"If we obtain the divine inheritance, we will have the capital to contend with the Spirit Hall!"
"Old Yu, the young master not only knows that the meteors contain divine inheritance but also summoned us here overnight. Could it be that he knows their whereabouts?"
Yang Wudi finished speaking hastily, his tone laced with hatred for the Spirit Hall and anticipation for the whereabouts of the divine inheritance.
Upon hearing this, the others turned their gazes to the old butler in unison.
Under their expectant gazes, the old butler shook his head slightly and then took out a white peony with a few blood-red petals from his Spirit Tool.
The Love God Divine Power emanating from the white peony was no longer as dense as before, but its pure white divine power was clearly visible, making the white peony appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.
As the aura of the Love God Divine Power spread over them, it felt as if they were immersed in a warm and comfortable ocean of love.
Looking at the particularly special white peony before him, Yang Wudi recognized its name the moment he saw it.
"This, this is... Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"
"But, this white light emitted by the white peony? I don't recall any records mentioning it!"
Yang Wudi's tone was certain but mixed with some confusion. He was almost sure that the white peony before him was Lovesick Heartbreak Red, known as the king of immortal-grade herbs, but he couldn't comprehend the pure white light at all.
While Yang Wudi was caught in a mental block, others were not. They all guessed that this white peony must be related to the divine inheritance.
"This white peony is called Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and it is an Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb." The old butler, holding the stem of the white peony, slowly explained to everyone:
"As a sacred flower symbolizing the purest and most sincere love, the original power of Lovesick Heartbreak Red originates from the Love God."
"The trace of Love God Divine Power contained within the Lovesick Heartbreak Red was awakened by tonight's meteor shower. The pure white light surrounding the white peony is the Love God Divine Power."
"With the guidance of the Love God Divine Power, holding this white peony will allow you to find the Love God's divine position inheritance."
Following that, the old butler presented the white peony in his hand to Yang Wudi in front of everyone present.
"Clan Leader Yang, you are well-versed in pharmacology and have a deep understanding of Immortal Grade herbs."
"The task of finding the Love God's inheritance will be entrusted to you."
Yang Wudi took the white peony, and his obsession and fervor for medicinal herbs immediately suppressed the hatred he felt towards Spirit Hall just moments ago.
"Please convey to the respected elder that Yang will guarantee the completion of this mission."
Upon receiving it, the airy lightness of the white peony caused his gaze to drop. The area beneath the roots was bare, and the Dark Absolute Stone, as recorded in ancient texts, was nowhere to be seen.
Only blood containing the purest and most sincere emotions could detach the Lovesick Heartbreak Red from the Dark Absolute Stone. The absence of the Dark Absolute Stone beneath the white peony's roots indicated that this Immortal Grade herb had already recognized its master.
"Purest and most sincere emotions… who could have plucked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red from the Dark Absolute Stone?"
"Was it that esteemed figure? Or perhaps this old butler standing before me?"
