The Steward, Dylon, was in awe as he held the cultivation technique in his hands. Its quality was nothing short of extraordinary - a Golden-grade technique, surpassing anything he had ever seen before. Dylon had dedicated his life to serving the young master, David, and he never imagined that he would witness such a profound cultivation method.
Even the renowned King Bronze, a master cultivator in his own right, could only boast of cultivating a Silver-grade technique. The fact that David possessed a Golden-grade technique spoke volumes about the immense power and potential hidden within him. It was a privilege that very few individuals could ever dream of.
Overwhelmed by excitement, Dylon urged David to start cultivating the technique immediately. Despite having only six phases, the technique far surpassed any of Dylon's own knowledge and experience. With this technique, David had the potential to achieve greatness and ascend to the realm of a Spiritual King within a few decades.
As the realization sank in, Dylon understood that David had not been exaggerating when he claimed to have inherited the legacy of a God.
The divine nature of the technique was evident, and Dylon felt honored to witness such a remarkable event in his lifetime. He resolved to support and guide David on this extraordinary path, knowing that the young master's destiny was intertwined with the forces of the divine.
In the region of the Central Continent where David and Dylon resided, there existed no cultivation techniques that could rival the esteemed classification of the one David had obtained.
It was an enigma that perplexed both David and Dylon, for the only logical explanation left was that a great specialist had handpicked David as the recipient of such a divine technique.
Whether this specialist was the legendary god Henry Longus or not held little significance in Dylon's mind. What truly mattered was the extraordinary opportunity that had befallen David.
David attentively observed the expression of satisfaction on Dylon's face as he spoke, realizing the depth of his trust and faith in him.
With genuine humility, he addressed Dylon as "Grandpa Dylon," a term of endearment reflecting the deep bond they had developed over the years. David understood that the cultivation technique he possessed was just one among many remarkable inheritances he had received.
Apart from the profound cultivation technique, David had also been bestowed with the extensive knowledge of Senior Longus, a figure of great wisdom and power.
Moreover, he had inherited the fabled Spatial Kingdom, a realm that harbored countless high-level cultivation resources beyond imagination.
However, David acknowledged that their current cultivation levels were too low to fully exploit these abundant resources.
While David possessed an array of awe-inspiring legacies, he recognized the importance of patience and gradual progression in his cultivation journey. It was not enough to possess extraordinary inheritances; he had to diligently cultivate his skills and gradually elevate his level of mastery.
The treasures of the Spatial Kingdom would have to wait until he was ready to unlock their potential.
With a determined spirit, David reassured Dylon that their time to utilize the vast resources of the Spatial Kingdom would come. Until then, they would focus on honing their existing abilities, diligently advancing their cultivation, and making the most of the divine techniques and knowledge bestowed upon them.
Together, David and Dylon embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, growth, and the realization of their true potential. Guided by their unbreakable bond and driven by the extraordinary gifts they had received, they would traverse the path towards greatness, leaving an indelible mark on the realm of cultivation.
David listened attentively to Dylon's words, acknowledging that there were indeed ways in which the Spatial Kingdom could contribute to the improvement of their current region.
His mind raced with curiosity and determination as he pondered the question at hand - what exactly was the underlying issue plaguing their surroundings? Unlocking this knowledge would enable him to harness the full potential of the Spatial Kingdom's influence and make a profound impact on their environment.
As their conversation continued, David shifted the focus back to
the Pushing the Air technique, affirming that it was specifically designed for
him.
However, he revealed another astonishing revelation that left Dylon astounded. David disclosed that he was currently cultivating another technique, one of equal caliber with a Golden-grade classification, boasting an impressive eleven phases.
Dylon couldn't hide his surprise at this revelation, despite
having accompanied David on their journey for over three days.
The fact that he had failed to notice David' ongoing cultivation progress left him taken aback. However, he quickly regained his composure, a warm smile gracing his face, and inquired about David' current cultivation level.
"Young master, are you already cultivating?" Dylon
asked with a mixture of astonishment and admiration. "I had no idea, even
after traveling with you for so long. Have you reached level 1?"
David returned Dylon's smile, appreciating the Steward's
dedication and genuine curiosity. "Grandpa Dylon," he replied, using
the affectionate term once again, "I'm glad you asked. Yes, I have indeed
begun my cultivation journey. I have surpassed the initial level and have
already reached level 2."
Dylon's eyes widened, a combination of awe and pride evident in
his expression. He had always believed in David' potential, but to witness such
rapid progress firsthand filled him with a sense of excitement and anticipation
for the young master's future accomplishments.
David continued, his voice brimming with determination and
conviction. "I owe my progress not only to the exceptional techniques and
knowledge bestowed upon me but also to your unwavering support, Grandpa Dylon.
Your guidance and loyalty have been invaluable on this path. Together, we will continue to strive for excellence, unlocking the full potential of our inheritances and carving our names into the annals of cultivation history."
With newfound clarity and a strengthened resolve, David and Dylon
embraced the boundless possibilities that lay before them.
They knew that their journey had only just begun, and with each step, they would unravel the mysteries of the Spatial Kingdom, elevate their cultivation prowess, and shape the destiny of their region with the power they possessed.
David nodded in affirmation, confirming that his cultivation had commenced even before their departure from the City of the Setting Sun. His progress had been swift and impressive, having already reached level 2.
With his diligent efforts, he anticipated attaining level 3 within the next two days, further solidifying his advancement in the realm of cultivation.
Observing Dylon's joyous expression, David couldn't help but
feel a surge of pride within himself. The Steward's happiness was contagious, fueling
his determination to continue growing at an extraordinary pace.
It became evident to Dylon that David possessed an exceptional talent, surpassing even that of his own father. It wouldn't be long before David would be capable of safeguarding himself without relying on external assistance.
Dylon's joy overflowed as he contemplated the young master's
remarkable progress. With such rapid advancement, David was destined for
greatness, garnering strength that would make his father proud.
Despite his father's disposition towards avoiding social gatherings, Dylon imagined that if the late general were aware of David' extraordinary achievements, he would set aside his reservations and host a grand banquet in his honor.
With utmost confidence, Dylon addressed David, his voice filled
with pride and admiration. "Very well, young master. If the general were
still with us, he would undoubtedly be filled with immense pride for your
accomplishments.
Even though he may not have been inclined towards extravagant celebrations, the news of your remarkable cultivation progress would undoubtedly move him to throw a magnificent banquet in your honor."
David felt a bittersweet swell of emotion at the mention of his
late father. The memory of the general's wisdom, strength, and love still
resonated deeply within him.
Although he yearned for his father's presence, David understood that his journey was his own, and he would honor his father's legacy by becoming the best version of himself.
With renewed determination and the support of Dylon by his side,
David embraced his destiny as a rising cultivator. Together, they would forge
ahead, overcoming challenges, unlocking the true potential of their
inheritances, and etching their names into the annals of history as the
champions of their generation.
The path to greatness lay before them, and they would seize it with unwavering resolve and unwavering hearts.
Dylon's eyes glistened with nostalgia as he recollected the fateful encounter he had with Robert Steward more than 80 years ago. It was a life-and-death situation that had brought them together, with the young Robert extending a helping hand that saved Dylon's very existence.
From that moment onward, Dylon had made a resolute decision to follow Robert, and their shared journey had forged an unbreakable bond, transforming them into inseparable friends. Through countless trials and tribulations, their friendship had grown stronger, their trust unwavering.
With such a profound history between them, Dylon possessed an intimate understanding of Robert Steward's character, hopes, and dreams. The memories they had shared over the years were etched deeply within Dylon's heart, and he treasured every moment spent in the company of his beloved friend.
Upon hearing of Robert's demise, a heavy weight settled in David' heart. He had lost one of the few people he truly loved, and the pain of that loss was acutely felt in that moment.
The flames of determination surged within him, fueled by an unwavering resolve to obliterate those responsible for the tragedy that had torn his world apart.
After a brief moment of sadness, David mustered the strength to inquire further, seeking answers to the burning question that haunted his thoughts. He turned to Dylon, his voice tinged with a mix of grief and determination.
"Grandpa Dylon, do you have any knowledge of who is behind this heinous act? Although I witnessed a portion of the attack, the assailants managed to conceal their identities."
Dylon's face hardened, his countenance devoid of the warmth that usually accompanied his presence. He had spent six arduous years, while David lay unconscious, tirelessly delving into research and investigations in an attempt to uncover the truth. Yet, despite his efforts, the precise identities of the culprits remained elusive.
He responded with a mix of frustration and determination, his voice laced with disappointment. "During the young master's prolonged unconsciousness, I conducted extensive research, leaving no stone unturned. Regrettably, I was unable to ascertain the exact identity of those responsible for this heinous act.
What I do know is that two assassins were employed for the attack. However, as for the remaining two individuals involved, their origins remain unknown, shrouded in mystery."
A sense of dissatisfaction washed over David upon hearing Dylon's words. The knowledge that there were individuals out there who had orchestrated the tragedy yet remained hidden filled him with a burning desire for justice.
Determined to uncover the truth and avenge his beloved father's death, David resolved to channel his grief into relentless pursuit, vowing to leave no stone unturned until he unraveled the web of deceit and brought the perpetrators to justice.
Dylon listened intently as David speculated on the potential involvement of the coppice family, who had seized the Red Valley during David' incapacitation. He also considered the Miller family, who had likewise expressed interest in claiming the disputed land after Robert's passing.
The pieces seemed to align, suggesting a possible connection between these families and the tragic events that had unfolded.
However, David displayed a remarkable level-headedness and
wisdom beyond his years. He understood the vulnerability of their current
situation and recognized the potential dangers that lay in delving too deeply
into the truth. With a composed demeanor, he expressed his thoughts to Dylon,
emphasizing the need to prioritize their security.
"Hmm, for now, let us refrain from directly interfering in
this matter," David spoke, his voice infused with a calm and rational
tone.
"We find ourselves in a precarious position, and prematurely seeking the truth may attract unnecessary disaster. Our focus should be on fortifying our defenses and strengthening our security measures."
David' words resonated with both caution and common sense.
Although driven by a profound desire for revenge, he acknowledged the
importance of maintaining control and acting strategically.
