Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 816

Over the next month, everyone stayed and recuperated at the Water Kylin Clan. During this time, as nothing special happened, time was peaceful.

Even the Fire Kylin seemed to have disappeared.

However, all the members of the Water Kylin Clan were uneasy. They were afraid that their clan would be exterminated when the Fire Kylin returned.

Darren took this time to visit the old turtle man.

"Sir, why hasn't the Water Kylin returned yet?"

A month ago, the Water Kylin entered the territory for inheritance. Since he hadn't returned, no one knew whether he had succeeded or failed.

"Wait patiently. It's not easy to obtain the inheritance of the Water Soul Crystal. It could take him anywhere between three years to a few decades."

For generations now, every member of the Water Kylin Clan, whose bloodline was superior, had participated in the Water Soul Crystal compatibility test. However, no one had succeeded in tens of thousands of years.

"The Fire Soul Crystal of the Kylin's first ancestor is terrifying and much stronger than the Demonic Crystal I have seen before," Darren stated.

Darren remembered the scene when the fiery red crystal suppressed the monkey.

The aura had astounded him more than the crystals condensed by his avatar and the Roc Demon Emperor.

"The Kylin's first ancestor was a legendary beast from outer space. The crystal he condensed is close to the God Character, which is stronger than objects of the same type condensed by other holy emperors," the old turtle man explained.

The name, God Character, piqued Darren's curiosity.

"Sir, can you please tell me more about the God Character? And how did you learn about it?" Darren asked immediately.

"Do you remember when I told you about the senior holy warrior from ancient times?"

"Of course, I do." Darren nodded.

"That senior holy warrior had been in hiding for millions of years. When he re-emerged, the first creature he saw in this world was me. At that time, he was happy and spoke with me for a long time. He mentioned the God Character during one of our conversations.

He told me that the holy emperor was supreme in this continent, but was very weak in outer space as what they condensed was only a Fake God Character. The Fake God Character can never upgrade to the Genuine God Character," the old turtle man explained.

"Did you mean that kind of hexahedral crystal is called the Fake God Character?" Darren was surprised.

"Yes, you can say that. However, there are great differences among these hexahedral crystals, which are generally referred to as the Fake God Character. For example, the hexahedral crystals condensed by human rule cultivators are called Immortal Crystals, and those condensed by demonic monsters are called Demonic Crystals. In fact, all of these can be called Fake God Character," the old turtle man continued to explain.

Darren sighed after hearing the old turtle man's explanation. The old turtle man was so knowledgeable, and Darren wondered if he would ever be as wise or as learned as him.

"God Character... Does it mean that creatures who possess such a crystal are eligible to become a god?" Darren asked excitedly.

However, this time the old turtle man shook his head and said, "I'm not sure I can answer that question. After all, the senior I met was only a senior holy warrior, and he did not know everything."

"Got it." Darren nodded.

In the following days, Darren became restless.

No matter which cultivation way a person chose, it seemed to be endless. What on earth could one do to become the strongest man? Darren's frustration stemmed from being unable to answer this question that plagued him.

And the more he thought about it, the more Darren's mind fluttered, as if he had entered a deep void.

Nothing existed at the end of the darkness.

"Where the hell are they?"

Darren spent a lot of time asking himself how the powerful people from outer space looked and how they survived.

The more he thought about it, the dizzier he became. Eventually, he felt a dull pain.

"Phew!" Darren released a long sigh and said, "I cannot figure out these questions by myself. But one thing is clear—ability seems to be the key. The more powerful you are, the closer you can get to something that others can't obtain."

Since he could not find answers to his many questions, Darren chose not to think anymore. Instead, he began to immerse himself in his cultivation.

Soon, strong spiritual energy poured into Darren's body.

At the same time, he began assimilating the ancient spiritual crystals, which led to a slow increase in his cultivation base.

One day, after three months, a huge turmoil occurred, and Darren woke from his meditation.
