Chapter 970 970 - Clear Mind



"Ah?

Aiden was stunned.

These were the weakest ones?!

The old monk nodded. "There's no need to discuss the Immovable Foundation Seal, it's a defensive divine seal. From the names of the Fiend Suppression, Demon Subduing and Immortal Trap Seals, you can already tell that they are not lethal."

The words suppress, subdue and trap did not have any intention to kill!

Right from their creation, those three divine seals contained the compassion of the religious sects.

The old monk said, "Of the six divine seals, the ones with the strongest might and can even be called killing divine seals are the last two that are lost, the Great Godly Wheel Seal and Great Mount Meru Seal!"

The moment the names of those two divine seals were mentioned, there was a shuddering pressure!

"There are six syllables to the Daring Mantra and they correspond to the six divine seals. By using the Daring Mantra while training, you can gain a deeper comprehension of the seals and unleash their greatest potential!"

"The method to train the Daring Mantra is in the technique Chamber. You can take a look at it."

Aiden suddenly saw the light.

So, he had yet to unleash the true might of the Fiend Suppression Seal.

If he were to release it along with the Daring Mantra, it would have an even more terrifying might!

The two of them conversed side by side and unknowingly, the skies outside had already turned dark.

In between, the sound of chains rattling echoed from the backyard as well.

It went silent after it was ignored.

Right from the beginning, the old monk did not explain about it, as though he was already used to it.

The skies gradually turned darker.

Aiden's robes shifted slightly and the little fox who had been asleep for the entire day rubbed her drowsy eyes before popping her head out.

Her gaze was still a little dazed, not fully awake yet. Placing her tiny paws against Aiden's chest, she stared at the old monk before her squarely, blinking in a charming manner.

The old monk smiled.

The little fox gradually returned to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.

Looking at Aiden deeply, the old monk said, "That little fox… take good care of her. Don't let her suffer…"

"That's for sure."

Aiden replied.

Immediately after, he sensed that something was amiss.

The old monk seemed as though he wanted to continue speaking but stopped.

Just as Aiden was about to ask about it, the old monk changed the topic and asked, "Guest, are you willing to join our religious sects?"

Aiden froze for a moment.

The old monk's question came extremely suddenly and he had not considered the option before.

The old monk continued, "Don't worry, Guest, you won't be subjected to too many restrictions if you join the religious sects. If you wish to leave, you can do so at any moment and I'll definitely not stop you either."

Although he had not trained Heart Peering before, Aiden suddenly understood what was on the old monk's mind after looking at the latter's hopeful gaze.

The old monk had been guarding this old temple at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley for a long time, protecting the ten thousand year old legacy of South Wind and Daring Monasteries – he was hoping to continue the lineage of the two great sects!

The old monk must have only made that request after sensing that his time was almost up.

"Alright!"

Aiden nodded and agreed readily.

The old monk nodded appreciatively. He held a shaving knife in his fingers and swiped it gently above Aiden's head.

It was accompanied by a cooling feeling.

Black hair fell to the ground.

The voice of the old monk sounded in Aiden's ears, "From this day forth, your name in the religious sects will be Mind Jin."

In reality, Aiden could have continued reading the ancient techniques in the technique Chamber freely even if he hadn't agreed. However, he did not feel good about that.

Furthermore, he had now fallen to the depths of the Dragon Burial Valley with his martial power crippled and he wanted to start afresh.

The shaving of his black hair symbolized a cut from his past – for the time being, he was going to forsake his identity as Aiden, forget about his glory in the past.

From this day forth, he was going to train at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley wholeheartedly until he could rise once more!

The old monk retrieved an almost transparent thread from his storage bag and threaded the four small beads in his hands together into a set of prayer beads.

"Although two small beads are missing from these divine Prayer Beads, they are still of use and can help you avoid detection from the Essence Spirits of Martial Grandmasters and Quasi Divines. Take it as a welcome gift of your acceptance of me as your master."

Aiden placed his palms together and bowed deeply.

This gift was way too precious!

Although there were two small beads missing, it was still a top grade divine weapon of the past!

Notwithstanding the power of the divine Prayer Beads alone, even the four divine seals were more than enough to drive countless martial artists crazy for them!

Furthermore, the fact that it was able to block away Essence Spirits meant that the secrets within Aiden's body would not be discovered.

The previous situation of his true self being exposed by the Demon Revealing Mirror would never happen again!

For Aiden, this was an irreplaceable gift!

The night was hazy.

It was silent in the courtyard of the old temple.

Moonlight shimmered and a round moon was reflected on the water surface in the old well.

Not long later, the reflection of a monk appeared. He was not old – in his twenties – and had elegant features with eyes that were even clearer than the water surface.

Aiden gazed at his reflection in the water and smiled.

"Mind Jin huh? How interesting… does he want me to see my own heart clearly and identify my true nature?"

Aiden muttered softly.

At that moment, he did not know where the old monk had gone whereas Morwyn Blackstone had already gone to sleep.

His ears were filled with the sounds of frogs croaking and crickets chirping. The little fox sprawled beside the well in a deep sleep and suddenly, Aiden noticed that his mind was in an incomparable state of tranquility.

His mind had received an unprecedented baptism in the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley that was isolated from the rest of the world.

He had been fighting for the past eight years.

And now, he has finally come to a stop.

It was like a consolidation, a reversion to his natural state.

Gazing at the round moon above his head, Aiden could not help but recall that night eight years ago.

Number 13 wore a crimson long dress and stood under the falling cherry blossom petals. Basked in the moonlight, she asked softly, "Do you want to train?"

For the past eight years, Aiden had been training in the mysterious technique of the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual every night.

Now that his Inner Core was shattered and he did not have sufficient energy to provide it, his Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual martial power had to stop for the time being. Aiden was truly not used to it.

He felt hollow internally.

Suddenly, he heard a mocking voice echo within his ears.

"Kid! Are you thinking of how to repair your Inner Core? Hehehe!"

Aiden was alarmed.

The voice came without any warning and was extremely foreign – it did not belong to the old monk or Morwyn Blackstone!

Instinctively, Aiden looked towards the little fox at the side.

She was still deep in her sleep – clearly, she had not heard that voice!

He was the only one who heard that sudden voice!

With a grim expression, Aiden looked around, prepared to warn the old and little monk at any moment.

"Hehehe, don't bother looking for me, kid! You can't see me!"

The voice sounded once more erratically such that its direction could not be determined – it was as though it was hiding in a corner laughing at Aiden.

This time round, Aiden calmed down instead and sneered internally.

This person was playing games hiding in the dark – as long as he ignored it, the other party would definitely lose his patience.

"Kid, I've got a way to help you repair your Inner Core. If you want to know about it, come to the backyard behind the grand hall!"

Indeed, the owner of the voice revealed his intentions.

"The backyard behind the grand hall?"

Aiden furrowed his brows slightly.

Prior to this, there would often be sounds of heavy chains rattling occasionally from the backyard, as though something was trapped there and was extremely frustrated.

"Strange,"

A skeptical look flashed through Aiden's eyes as thought to himself, "Master said that he and Master were the only ones in this old temple. Then, this person in the backyard…"
