Chapter 165 165 – Another Supreme Elder



Ken took the token in his hand as he made plans for the secret realm, now that he didn't believe anything was meant for the inheritors' benefit anymore.

"Hello, Young Inheritor. I can safely say none of us supreme elders thought our inheritor would be so young. Do you have a cultivation body?"

"I do, an ascending immortal channeled his Qi through my body, and I was lucky enough to survive."

Ken lied as he understood it was the only way he could've reached his stage, and it was still too fast. He already understood he did something similar to himself, but because of his caution and systematic research, he got far better results than the improvising ascending immortals, and he even suspected that the Godly Qi was a higher form of energy than Immortal Qi.

"That's a blessing for you and your sect. Be careful, many will try to get closer to you, but their motives are rarely pure and unselfish."

"Thank you for your advice, Senior."

Ken cupped his fist and bowed to express his appreciation.

"Oh, how forgetful of me, I didn't introduce myself! I'm Leonidas Petrakis, I used to be an elder of the Divine Sword Sect. They must resent me for spending my last hours on the Mortal Realm building this place instead of trying to create their favorite super babies."

"Ken Sue greets Elder Leonidas Petrakis. The Divine Sword Sect is a great place."

Ken bowed again; he was wearing the yellow robes of the Divine Sword Sect, so he had to pay his respect to the elder. Leonidas had no way of knowing he was an impostor, and even if the voice could tell him of people who changed their robes, Ken was wearing yellow robes ever since he entered.

"That's great to hear. I see you have the Token of Elements, which means you met that Old Man Andreas. You should be aware of the overall situation and our goal of gathering promising youths to have stronger allies in the Immortal Realm?"

"Indeed, he had briefed me on the matter."

Ken wanted to use the chance to verify some of his suspicions regarding the elders.

"Elder Leonidas, the Abyssal Armory is a great place, and the name is overbearing."

"Haha, thank you, no need for compliments. I already see that you know your stuff when it comes to naming."

The old man stroked his black beard with apparent pleasure from Ken's words. Ken knew what he had to do.

"I wish I knew the names of your other techniques as well; their imperious names alone would likely offer me insights into new comprehensions. I have a dashing technique, and I named it One Step."

"This name is not bad, but it's too simple. You do need more inspiration, haha! My dashing technique is called Rush of Death, because once I use it, death rushes to claim my enemies."

'It's not simple; it's elegant and perfect,' Ken retorted in his mind but kept a smile on his face as he buttered up the elder.I think you should take a look at

"That's an amazing name, tell me more!"

"There's Strike of Doom, Devourer of Hope…"

The elder started listing all the techniques he developed in his life along with their names while Ken nodded and pretended to be excited. When he felt that the elder was too smug, he wanted to start fishing for information.

"The Godly Swordsman of the Heavens, your nickname really fits you, Elder Leonidas! I've been wondering, if none of the supreme elders have Bloodlust Qi, how come you managed to create some great Bloodlust formations and pills?"

"Haha, you are one sharp child! Let me explain from the beginning. As you know, you can get the result of specialized techniques using normal Qi, and that's what cultivators under the fourth stage do all the time. Of course, the effect will be a few times weaker."

Ken nodded to sign he was following the man's explanation.

"The same goes for Immortal Qi. Ascending Immortals can already sense and use it, so we used Immortal Qi to execute some Bloodlust techniques, and because it's a purer type of energy, the effect was as strong as it would be if we used mortal Bloodlust Qi. We prepared for it for a long time, and we even succeeded in timing our ascensions to be only a few minutes apart from each other."

"So you managed to create pills of Bloodlust Qi despite not having access to it!"

"Indeed, it's all thanks to the genius kid Galen Kus, you will meet him in the library when you get there. He managed to find a way to prepare everything on the verge of being ready beforehand, and when we broke through, we just had to use the Immortal Qi along with a few weird things that happen on battlefields."

Ken understood what the old man didn't. He wasn't the first to find a way to extract specialized Qi from objects; Galen did the same to objects that developed Bloodlust energy in the place with the most abundance of Bloodlust – the battlefield.

"He must be an amazing cultivator if someone like you calls him a genius; aren't you all geniuses?"

"We all were of the best geniuses of our sects, indeed. However, not many people take a path with two crafting types of Qi, and of those who do, none turned out to be as capable and powerful as Galen. He was both an alchemist and a runologist!"

ƥandasnovel·ƈom Ken couldn't help but be impressed. Galen probably had a cultivation body, but he didn't get his brain boosted by a god. And even if God was nothing but a powerful immortal, then they were still much more experienced and powerful than the new ascending immortals.

"Anyway, I'm fading, so you only have time for one last question."

Now it was time for Ken to check whether the old evil cultivators were as cunning and wicked as he believed them to be.

"Where should I go next, Elder?"

"You should visit the Residence of a Buddha and a Demon!"

The old man dissipated, Ken smiled coldly, his worries confirmed. There was no way Leonidas would suggest a place with such a plain name without ulterior motives.
