There are seven absolutes in the Seven Absolutes Sect.
Among the successors of the Seven Absolutes, the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, was destined to be the strongest of them all. He would be the leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
Not all of the six absolutes specialized in combat and offense.
For example, the Second Absolute, the Prophet Progeny. The role of the successor was more like a strategist.
Based on the Old Prophet's words, it was obvious he thought highly of Feng Tian Wu's strength.
However, upon hearing the Old Prophet's statement, Feng Tian Wu did not seem particularly happy. Instead, she asked without beating around the bush, "Senior Uncle Prophet, I don't care about this… I just want to know when will I be able to meet Brother Duan again?"
From the beginning until then, Feng Tian Wu had never forgotten the reason she came to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. She came here to be reunited with Duan Ling Tian. She had been doing as the Old Prophet told her to only because he had promised to help her look for Duan Ling Tian! That was the reason she had listened to the Old Prophet unconditionally. It was time for the Old Prophet to hold up his end of the bargain.
"Tian Wu, there's something I need to tell you now…" the Old Prophet said when he saw how solemn Feng Tian Wu had become. He knew he could no longer try to pacify the girl or dismiss her question since it would only be counterproductive. "However, what I'm about to tell you is a secret. Without my permission, you can't reveal this to anyone, including those you're close to!" The Old Prophet's expression had turned solemn when he spoke.
"Yes." Feng Tian Wu nodded. She was not one to gossip anyway.
"I came to get you from the Phoenix Clan in order to unite you with the five other absolutes' successors in the Seven Absolutes Sect, excluding the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny… Once the Six Absolutes successors are united, I will open the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation left behind by our Seven Absolutes Sect's senior!" The Old Prophet said bluntly.
"Six Absolutes successors? Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation?" Feng Tian Wu was, naturally, confused when she heard the Old Prophet's words.
As the successor to the Fifth Absolute, the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Feng Tian Wu certainly knew what the Six Absolutes successors uniting meant… It meant that she would be meeting the successors of the five other absolutes of the Seven Absolutes Sect, excluding the First Absolute's successor, the Fog Rain Progeny!
Although Feng Tian Wu did not look forward to it, she was still surprised. She did not expect the old man before her would successfully unite the other five current successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
"What's the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation?" Feng Tian Wu could not help but ask.
"The Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation is a heaven-defying formation left behind by the former successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Fog Rain Progeny!" The Old Prophet said with a hint of reverence in his voice when he spoke about the former successor of the Fog Rain Progeny. After that, he continued saying, "The Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation is created for the successors of the other six absolutes, excluding the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny… Once the successors of the six absolutes enter the Formation, their cultivation base and Martial Dao Innate Talent will improve tremendously! That means the cultivation base and Innate Spiritual Roots of you and the successors will improve greatly!'
"My Innate Spiritual Root will improve tremendously?" Feng Tian Wu looked surprised. "It's similar to the Phoenix Clan's Place of Rebirth?"
Feng Tian Wu who successfully completed her Rebirth in the Phoenix Clan's Place of Rebirth had already improved her Innate Spiritual Root and cultivation base.
"It's similar but the Formation's effects are much stronger!" the Old Prophet said proudly as though he was the one who had created the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation.
"Its effects are stronger than the Place of Rebirth?" Feng Tian Wu was shocked. It took a while before she regained her senses.
Since Feng Tian Wu had personally and successfully undergone Rebirth in the Place of Rebirth, she knew very well how much improvement she had made. However, the Old Prophet had just said that the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation's effects were even more outrageous than the Place of Rebirth!
"Naturally, this isn't the point..." The Old Prophet said.
The Old Prophet's words captured Feng Tian Wu's attention immediately. She looked at him in confusion.
"The Seven Absolutes Sect's six absolutes will assemble soon… Subsequently, the seven absolutes will assemble as well! However, there's still some time before all seven absolutes will gather," the Old Prophet said.
The Seven Absolutes would assemble!
When Feng Tian Wu heard the Old Prophet's words, her eyes were filled with curiosity. She was, naturally, curious about the identity of the current successor of the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, the Fog Rain Progeny!
Back when she was still at the seventh-rate force, the Drift Blaze Sect in Windfall Nation, she heard from her master, Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, that the most mysterious and powerful of the Seven Absolutes was the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny! Once the successors of the Seven Absolutes gathered, she would be able to meet the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny!
"The day when the successors of the Seven Absolutes assemble…" the Old Prophet said, "... is the day you reunite with your Brother Duan!"
Boom!
It was as though a bolt of lightning had struck Feng Tian Wu when she heard the Old Prophet's words. She was shocked and it took her a while to regain her senses.
The day when the successors of the Seven Absolutes assemble would be the day she would be reunited with Duan Ling Tian?
"Senior… Senior Uncle Prophet, you… What do you mean by that?" Feng Tian Wu asked after she recovered from her shock.
"Silly girl, am I not clear with my words?" The Old Prophet shook his head and smiled. "Your Brother Duan is the current successor of the First Absolute of our Seven Absolutes Sect, the Fog Rain Progeny!"
Feng Tian Wu already had an inkling of what the Old Prophet meant. However, she found it hard to believe that was why she had asked again for confirmation. She was now 100% certain Duan Ling Tian was the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
"I-I d-didn't expect Brother Duan is the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny!" Feng Tian Wu's heartbeat quickened. She was extremely excited.
'That's why Master asked if Brother Duan knew about the Seven Absolutes Sect back then… According to Master, the 10,000 Swords Territory that Brother Duan cast is exclusive to the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny!' Feng Tian Wu recalled what had happened in the Drift Blaze Sect back then.
At that time, her master, Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, saw her Brother Duan using the 10,000 Swords Territory and asked if her Brother Duan knew about the Seven Absolutes Sect.
Duan Ling Tian had said he knew nothing about it. That was why her master, Zi Yun, had determined Duan Ling Tian had nothing to do with the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, at that time.
"Senior Uncle Prophet… I remember my master asking Brother Duan if he knew about the Seven Absolutes Sect and Brother Duan said he doesn't know. Why is that?" Feng Tian Wu was confused.
"It's not surprising that he doesn't know about the Seven Absolutes Sect… As far as I know, the inheritance of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, doesn't mention the Seven Absolutes Sect. However, he definitely knows he's the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny!" The Old Prophet explained.
Feng Tian Wu finally had a clear grasp of what was going on
"Senior Uncle Prophet!" Feng Tian Wu seemed to have recalled something. She looked at the Old Prophet and asked with a straight face, "Earlier you said that the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation that was left behind by Seven Absolutes Sect's predecessor is meant for the six successors of the six absolutes, excluding the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, so we can improve our strength and innate talent, right?"
"Yes." The Old Prophet nodded with a confused expression on his face. Did he not already explained this to Feng Tian Wu?
"Senior Uncle Prophet… I want to give up my place to enter the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation to Brother Duan so he can improve his cultivation base and innate talent!' Feng Tian Wu said without any hesitation as she looked at the Old Prophet.
Upon hearing Feng Tian Wu's words, the Old Prophet was stunned. He realized Feng Tian Wu had misunderstood him. He did not correct her misunderstanding, instead, he asked her, "Do you really plan to give up your chance to enter the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation for your Brother Duan?" He continued to say, "Think about it… If you give him that chance, you'll be at the bottom among the successors of the seven absolutes in the Seven Absolutes Sect! That's definitely not good for you."
"I've made up my mind," Feng Tian Wu replied. Nothing was more important to her than Duan Ling Tian. Previously, she did not even hesitate to sacrifice her life for him.
"You really treat that lad well…" The Old Prophet said with a hint of envy when he saw how devoted Feng Tian Wu was to Duan Ling Tian. Back in his prime, why was there no girl who would go that far for him? If there was someone like that, he would not remain single until now!
