Chapter 580 The Predecessor Hidden in the Golden Tree
"Witnessing the sky's transformation and the vast ocean's depths, senior, which powerful figure in the academy's history are you?" Huo Yuhao stood up solemnly, his voice filled with respect.
Only those who have made great contributions to Shrek Academy are qualified to enter the Sea God Pavilion, and those who ascend to immortality and enter the Golden Tree must be great figures of their generation, and guardians who sacrificed themselves to the very end for Shrek Academy.
If one chooses to forcibly leave their soul and a portion of their power within the Golden Tree at the moment of their death, it will result in the loss of their soul, preventing them from being reincarnated. Ultimately, they will remain within the Golden Tree until the end of the time for that portion of their soul, transforming into nourishment for the Golden Tree.
This is something that every elder of the Sea God Pavilion will learn on the day they take office. Huo Yuhao, as the next generation of Sea God Pavilion Master, will inevitably succeed the previous Sea God Pavilion Master and continue to lead Shrek Academy forward, so he knows about this.
"Little one, I no longer remember my name. I am merely a remnant of my will. Your arrival has awakened me. Little one, you possess a great opportunity!" the voice continued.
"Me? Possessing a great opportunity?" Huo Yuhao pointed to himself, and then he noticed that the Eye of Destiny on his forehead had become burning hot.
Was it the energy fluctuations unintentionally emitted by one's own Eye of Destiny that awakened a wisp of consciousness left behind by this predecessor?
A profound sense of enlightenment suddenly welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart.
Huo Yuhao quickly released the Eye of Destiny, and a golden light was projected from it, flying into the wall of the Golden Tree.
Subsequently, the energy concentration in the training room where he was located rose sharply.
A warm feeling enveloped Huo Yuhao, making him feel as if he were basking in the sun, and every cell in his body was groaning comfortably.
The Xuan Tian Gong within his body was operating spontaneously, constantly refining the impurities in his soul power, which evaporated and were expelled through his pores.
"Little guy, you actually know the Mysterious Heaven Skill. It seems you are a junior of the Tang Clan, and also my junior," the voice said gently.
"Senior, are you still a senior of the Tang Clan?" Huo Yuhao asked excitedly.
Unexpectedly, the senior I accidentally awakened was a member of the Tang Clan.
"My cultivation techniques also include the Mysterious Heaven Skill, so I suppose I am a member of the Tang Clan, but I don't remember much of my memories anymore." The voice carried a hint of sadness.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself that this was probably his senior regretting that he had lost most of his memories.
Tiny specks of light flew out from every corner of the training room, and an exceptionally bright star emerged from the ceiling above Huo Yuhao's head and landed in front of him.
The points of light danced around the star, converged into a vortex, and eventually transformed into a human shape.
"I've forgotten my name, but since I'm from the Tang Clan, why don't you just call me Tang Qi? I vaguely remember that the number seven is quite important to me," Tang Qi said with a smile.
"Yes, Senior Tang Qi, is there anything I can do for you?" Huo Yuhao asked respectfully.
"Little guy, I haven't even offered to help you yet, and you're already thinking about what you can do for me? Good boy," Tang Qi said with a smile.
Huo Yuhao smiled somewhat embarrassedly. He was moved by the fact that the Shrek ancestors, after merging with the Golden Tree, continued to protect Shrek Academy at the cost of part of their souls, and he wanted to do his part as well.
Tang Qi saw through Huo Yuhao's thoughts and laughed heartily, "Little guy, protecting you as you grow is what we should do. You don't need to feel embarrassed, because protecting the younger generation is our responsibility!"
"By the way, little guy, who is the current leader of the Tang Sect?" Tang Qi asked, wanting to know if the Tang Sect's fortunes had improved since Huo Yuhao joined.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao quickly replied, "The current sect leader of the Tang Sect is Sister Tang Ya, and the deputy sect leader is my elder brother, Ye Nanxiao."
Upon hearing the name "Ye Nanxiao," Tang Qi felt a surge of determination. Fortunately, he was now an energy being and therefore had no face.
"Ye Nanxiao, you anomaly, you're trying to destroy my hard work?!"
"I remember the Tang Clan had already begun to decline in my time. How is the Tang Clan doing now?" Tang Qi asked.
"The Tang Clan experienced a period of decline before, and even the old site of the sect was taken away by thieves through trickery. Fortunately, my elder brother helped Sister Xiaoya take the Tang Clan back. Now, under my elder brother's arrangement, the Tang Clan is thriving. I believe that in less than fifty years, the Tang Clan will be able to show its glory again!" Huo Yuhao said with a look of admiration on his face.
The Tang Clan is now in a much better state than before, and Ye Nanxiao has spent countless days and nights racking his brains to improve the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, allowing the technology of soul tools to revitalize the ancient sect.
"What did Tang Ya do to cause the Tang Clan to decline like this!" Tang Qi asked in a gloomy tone.
The chosen one of destiny keeps bringing up that damned anomaly!
Was the chosen one brainwashed by an anomaly?
Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something was off about Tang Qi. Wasn't the decline of the Tang Sect Tang Ya's fault?
"Senior, are you familiar with the Sun Moon Empire? The Sun Moon Empire drifted in from the sea and collided with the original continent. Soul tools were passed down from the Sun Moon Empire. These weapons do not require exquisite skills or matching techniques, and they are easy to produce. This is a fatal blow to the Tang Sect, which produces traditional hidden weapons."
"Furthermore, the Tang Clan's true hidden weapons are not sold to the public; they are reserved for their own use. This has caused considerable resentment towards the Tang Clan among the three great empires. In addition, the manufacture of hidden weapons requires the most skilled craftsmen and takes far longer than that of soul tools. Therefore, the Tang Clan's previous decline had its reasons. If one were to truly pinpoint who caused the Tang Clan's decline, I would venture to say it was the leaders of the Tang Clan in the old era! They did not know how to adapt to changing times!"
Huo Yuhao firmly stated, "As Ni Jiang once said, those who do not adapt to the trend of progress of the times, whether it is a sect or an empire, will be eliminated. No one can go against the trend of the times."
The Tang Clan has many rules and regulations passed down through generations, most of which carry an air of pedantry. These rules are quite useless to the Tang Clan today.
For example, the martial soul of every generation of Tang Sect Master must be Blue Silver Grass, but Blue Silver Grass is an extremely mediocre martial soul.
Furthermore, two-thirds of the Tang Clan's income must be donated, leaving only enough funds to maintain the sect's operations.
It's important to understand that in this era of soul tools, which sect isn't desperately researching soul tools, hoping to create a powerful soul tool unique to their own sect? And the prerequisite for this research is the provision of funds.
How can one research soul tools without a large investment of funds?
I'm afraid they can't even afford rare metals.
In Huo Yuhao's view, these useless rules have no other option but to be abandoned.
Just as Tang Ya, in her capacity as the last leader of the old Tang Clan, announced the abolition of a large number of useless ancestral precepts when she re-established the Tang Clan.
Since these rules will lead to the decline and demise of the Tang Clan, it would be better to discard and burn them, turning them into nourishment and history for the rebirth of the Tang Clan, and to warn future generations.
Tang Qi's light and shadow stared silently at Huo Yuhao. He didn't expect that the Chosen One would actually refute him and even criticize the ancestral precepts he left behind.
The latest novel is first published here!
He brought the Tang Clan's unique skills and hidden weapons to this continent. He didn't think anything could compare to the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, so he left behind the ancestral motto: "Tang Clan's hidden weapons are the ultimate weaponry."
This led the younger generation of the Tang Clan to hold the Tang Clan's hidden weapons in the highest esteem.
Tang Qi did not argue with Huo Yuhao. His wisp of will had a more important thing to do, which was to teach Huo Yuhao and rebuild his beliefs by using the identity of the Shrek Academy predecessor he had conjured.
"Perhaps. Now, as a senior from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, I would like to offer you, as a junior, some guidance. Let's begin." Tang Qi's voice returned to normal.
Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was extremely afraid that this senior with dual identities would get angry and scold him, after all, the actions of Sister Xiaoya and his own Nijiang in modifying the Tang Clan's ancestral precepts were considered to have violated the ancestors' decision.
"Yes, Senior Tang Qi, I'm ready!" Huo Yuhao said.
"First of all, you must remember that the power of a Soul Master is inseparable from the Soul Ring. When you have the ability, you should find a powerful Soul Beast as your Soul Ring." Tang Qi recalled the swan Soul Beast that appeared in his previous calculations. Its cultivation was quite high, making it a suitable Soul Ring.
A question mark slowly appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, but he concealed his micro-expressions very well. Although it didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it, Huo Yuhao still had a strange feeling.
Tang Qi was very satisfied to see Huo Yuhao practicing the Xuan Tian Gong under his guidance, even though there had been a little incident earlier.
"You anomaly, this time you won't be able to stop me!"
The Golden Tree still emits a faint glow, serving as the main light source on Poseidon Island, bringing light to the island while quietly protecting Shrek Academy.
Ten thousand meters away from Shrek Academy, in an ordinary mountain, in a palace sealed by the dust of the mountain rocks for countless years, a golden deity is sleeping.
The little beast that was perched on the God of Greed's shoulder was suddenly startled awake, then propped itself up and glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy.
The distance of tens of thousands of meters seemed to be segmented, and what was reflected in the little beast's eyes was the golden tree on Poseidon Island.
"Fu?" the little beast called out softly.
The God of Greed slightly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of Shrek Academy.
"It's just a glowing golden tree, isn't it? You have plenty of gold in your little nest, don't you?" the God of Greed muttered, then fell asleep again.
He needs to remain in a state of slumber to reduce the energy consumed by the protective artifacts on his body, and stay in the mortal realm for as long as possible.
"Fu." The Divine Mirror looked at the Golden Tree with a puzzled expression, as it seemed to have sensed an unusual power just now.
Could it be that the golden tree has evolved again?
Forget it, let's just wait for the mortal youth entrusted by the master.
