Chapter 568: 309 “Divine Artifact Within Immortal Origin” and “Heavenly Path’s Destiny Tribulation” (Please Subscribe)_5
“A Nascent Soul True Monarch!!”
“This person is actually a Great Cultivator of the True Monarch level; it looks like we picked the wrong target. He isn’t afraid at all; no wonder he was so calm just now.”
These cultivators were affected by Milton Cheney’s spiritual power, but they weren’t injured.
By the time they came to their senses, Milton Cheney had disappeared without a trace.
The group began to discuss frantically.
However, a few of them did not speak, their eyes flickering as if they were scheming something.
Milton Cheney had intentionally burst forth his spiritual power to attract attention, so that he could leave Jade Cauldron Pavilion unhindered.
At this moment, Milton Cheney’s figure appeared on a mountain range.
And in his hand, he was holding a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was naturally Old Lees.
The Spatial Ring in his hand now contained several thousand more Immortal Origin.
At this moment, Old Lees’s face was ashen, his heart filled with despair.
He knew he had been played.
The greed in his heart had given rise to thoughts he shouldn’t have had, leading to his complete downfall.
“Can you tell me why you chose to open the source even after hearing my transmission, which seems to have no benefits for you?”
After tossing Old Lees aside, Milton Cheney asked.
Old Lees’s complexion, once dead, seemed to fan back to life, a glint of clarity flickering in his eyes.
“If I told you, could you let me go?” Old Lees asked, his voice tinged with a sliver of hope.
He didn’t choose to run because he knew he absolutely couldn’t escape.
For a Golden Core cultivator to attempt escape from a Nascent Soul cultivator was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Even if he were at the peak of Golden Core Great Perfection, escape would still be impossible.
“You don’t have a choice.”
Milton Cheney said indifferently.
He wasn’t exactly angry about this situation; he just found it a slight inconvenience.
After all, he had experienced too many worlds; such trivial matters really couldn’t raise his interest.
“When I was opening the source, it was as if I was possessed, a voice in my mind telling me to release that piece of Immortal Origin.”
“What exactly did the voice say?”
“I don’t remember clearly, but it seemed to suggest that I could become a true Immortal Origin Master if I managed to open the source.”
“Have you become an Immortal Origin Master now?”
Upon hearing this, a shadow passed across Old Lees’s eyes.
Ultimately, he shook his head.
“Tell me exactly what an Immortal Origin Master is, and then replicate the Immortal Origin Master inheritance you received for me.”
Milton Cheney commanded.
By now, he was quite certain that Old Lees before him was indeed what they called an Immortal Origin Master.
Even if he wasn’t, he had at least received some legacy of an Immortal Origin Master.
“I can tell you what an Immortal Origin Master is, but I don’t have the inheritance of an Immortal Origin Master,” said Old Lees, his eyes sincere and pleading.
“Still concealing the truth at the brink of death? Since you don’t wish to tell me, I’ll just search for it myself!”
Milton Cheney chuckled inwardly, his gaze turning icy cold.
The next moment, Milton Cheney extended his hand.
Vast spiritual power mixed with immense divine sense erupted from Milton Cheney’s palm.
In an instant, the spiritual power destroyed the lifeline of Old Lees’s dantian, yet kept him just on the cusp of life.
The divine sense, on the other hand, was wildly rushing into Old Lees’s sea of consciousness.
“Soul Search Technique.”
This was one of the more obscure spells that Milton Cheney had mastered.
The downside of this spell was considerable, though; it could at most be used on Golden Core cultivators.
Which meant that even if he were to reach Deity Transformation one day, he wouldn’t be able to use this spell to search the soul of Nascent Soul cultivators.
The upper limit of this spell was the Golden Core realm.
But for Milton Cheney, that was enough.
As time slowly passed, streams of memories flowed into Milton Cheney’s river of recollection.
After a short while, Milton Cheney opened his eyes.
“A Grand Technique Immortal Origin Master, this Old Lees was indeed fortunate to actually have received a lineage of Immortal Origin Master.”
Milton Cheney murmured to himself.
The next instant, Milton Cheney released the Soul Search Technique.
The moment he let go of the Soul Search Technique, the last breath that was hanging onto Old Lees extinguished.
Body and spirit destroyed, that was the ultimate fate of Old Lees.
Milton Cheney had the Soul Search Technique and also directly asked because there were reasons for it.
Firstly, it was also his first time using the Soul Search Technique, so he wasn’t quite proficient.
Secondly, the Soul Search Technique could potentially miss some memories.
So, Milton Cheney’s initial plan was to force out some meaningful information and then use the Soul Search Technique to confirm it.
Just now, Old Lees hadn’t lied.
If Milton Cheney hadn’t destroyed him both body and spirit, then in a year’s time, Old Lees truly could have become a real Immortal Origin Master.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
“So, am I the calamity referred to in Old Lees’s memory that one faces upon becoming an Immortal Origin Master?”
He became the calamity of someone else’s destiny, which Milton Cheney found mildly amusing.
After absorbing Old Lees’s memories, Milton Cheney was no longer unfamiliar with the Immortal Origin Master.
Those who practiced the art of Immortal Origin, upon becoming an Immortal Origin Master, had to face a calamity known as the Immortal Origin Tribulation.
The lineage of the Grand Technique Immortal Origin Master was no exception.
The Immortal Origin Tribulation was somewhat similar to the Thunder Tribulation faced by cultivators, yet also different.
The Thunder Tribulation represented the Heavenly Path.
The Immortal Origin Tribulation represented destiny.
Both were similar, yet distinct.
One was the calamity of the Heavenly Path; the other, the calamity of destiny.
By the arrangement of destiny, Milton Cheney was Old Lees’s Immortal Origin Tribulation.
If Milton Cheney had spared Old Lees, then Old Lees would have successfully become an Immortal Origin Master.
But this was impossible since Milton Cheney’s character would never allow him to spare Old Lees, he wasn’t one to suffer losses and endure silently.
“If all Immortal Origin Tribulations were this difficult, how could there possibly exist any Immortal Origin Masters in the cultivation world.”
