The Last Primal



He was standing at the bend in the valley and the battered old temple was not far away!

When the white-bloused woman caught sight of the little monk, her expression suddenly turned uneasy.

The bloody sockets on her face stared at the lotus seat on the little monk's hand hesitantly, seemingly cautious.

"Vile evil being, what are you waiting for?! Leave!"

The little monk hollered lightly with a stern expression.

He raised his left hand and pushed the lotus seat gently in the direction of the white-bloused woman.

The lotus seat floated over through the air.

One after another, pure white lotus petals opened up from inside out, layer by layer.

As the lotus blossomed, the lotus seat let out an extremely terrifying aura!

"Ah!"

The white-bloused woman shrieked and turned into smoke, escaping far away and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The little monk hurried forward and put away the lotus seat before tugging Aiden's sleeves, whispering, "Dear guest, hurry, let's go!"

As he said that, the little monk turned and sprinted back towards the old temple.

Aiden's heart skipped a beat and followed him.

Thankfully, they were not too far away from the old temple and both of them returned to it within tens of breaths.

The little monk only heaved a sigh of relief after turning around to close the main doors.

"Thank you for your lifesaving grace, fellow guest," Aiden bowed and expressed his thanks.

The little monk waved it off, smiling. "No matter, Guest. It's only right of me."

"What is your name, fellow guest?" Aiden asked.

The little monk replied, "I'm Morwyn Blackstone."

"Morwyn Blackstone, Morwyn Blackstone…"

Aiden muttered twice softly.

Purity, honesty, and sincerity.

Those were the impressions that the little monk gave Aiden.

Everything was truly embodied by the character in his name.

"The evil entities outside are extremely vicious and possess supreme divine powers. I'm not their match either,"

Morwyn Blackstone explained, "The malevolent ghost earlier only turned to flee because she was wary about this lotus seat, thinking that my master had appeared. If we had waited for her to realize what was happening, we would have been doomed."

Feeling somewhat guilty, Aiden said, "I was careless just now and nearly implicated you."

Eight years worth of martial power was destroyed overnight and he had turned into a mortal from the number one monster incarnate of history. Anyone else would also have a hard time accepting such a defeat and downfall.

Earlier on, when he left the old temple, part of it was out of curiosity to check out what was outside.

Another part of it was truly because he was brooding internally.

He had truly suffered immensely mentally!

Morwyn Blackstone seemed to be able to sense the troubles Aiden was facing. "Actually, there won't be any danger as long as you don't head out of this place. Although this courtyard is not large, you can move around freely within it, Guest. The techniques in the technique Chamber are also free for you to read."

"At that time, we might be able to share our understanding and explore the depths of Buddhism together."

Pausing for a moment, as though he recalled something, Morwyn Blackstone reminded hurriedly, "Right, also, don't ever head to the backyard of the grand hall!"

After saying that, Morwyn Blackstone shirked his neck with a frightened expression, as though he had just thought of something terrifying.

Aiden was greatly curious.

Against that menacing malevolent ghost with torrential divine powers earlier on, Morwyn Blackstone was stern without any fear.

Yet, why was he revealing such an expression at the mention of the backyard?

Just what was in the backyard that caused Morwyn Blackstone such cautiousness?

Furthermore, Aiden noticed something.

Earlier on when he wanted to head out, Morwyn Blackstone merely reminded him that it was dangerous outside and he should not head far away.

But now, Morwyn Blackstone was warning Aiden with extreme conviction not to head to the backyard of the grand hall!

Aiden nodded.

He truly did not wish to give Morwyn Blackstone any troubles.

After Morwyn Blackstone gave the reminder, he returned to his praying mat and took out the thick ancient book from before, flipping it open carefully to continue reading.

The little fox gradually stirred awake during this period of time.

However, due to the shock that she received, she insisted on staying in Aiden's embrace and refused to go anywhere.

After taking a look, Morwyn Blackstone seemed to recall something and handed Aiden the ancient book in his hands with sincerity. "Guest, if you don't know what technique to start with, how about this? You will definitely benefit immensely."

"This technique possesses the secrets of the universe and you will gain a different realization with every new reading of it. It's truly amazing."

Aiden laughed bitterly internally.

Right now, he did not have any mood at all.

Even if his martial power was still present, he wouldn't be able to endure sitting through to comprehend these difficult techniques.

Aiden declined. "My injuries have not healed yet so I can't exhaust myself mentally. You can read them first."

Morwyn Blackstone did not believe it entirely and asked somewhat confusedly, "Reading techniques, prostrating yourself to God, and comprehending the teaching is the most enjoyable thing in the world. How would it be exhausting mentally?"

Shaking his head, Morwyn Blackstone did not seem to understand Aiden's words.

When he saw Morwyn Blackstone's passion, Aiden felt embarrassed and asked, "What's the name of that ancient book? I'll go take a look at it after you're done reading it."

Of course, he had only mentioned that casually and wasn't truly curious about it.

"Mystic divine Lotus technique"

"Oh,"

Aiden replied distractedly. The moment he turned around, his expression changed!

"Mystic divine Lotus technique?"

He looked at Morwyn Blackstone with disbelief and asked again.action

"That's right."

Morwyn Blackstone nodded in a natural manner.

Aiden's mouth dropped agape and he froze for a moment before revealing a bitter smile.

The Mystic divine Lotus technique was known as the number one secret skill for the Martial Master.

In that alarming catastrophe 10,000 years ago, South Wind Monastery was destroyed and the Mystic divine Lotus technique was lost at that time.

After all this time, nobody discovered any trace of the Mystic divine Lotus technique.

Therefore, a saying began to spread through the martial power world.

Everyone claimed that the Mystic divine Lotus technique was buried within the Great Forbidden Ruins.

Aiden's trip towards the Great Forbidden Ruins this time round was not entirely due to the Vermilion Fruit. A great part of the reason was that he wanted to find the Mystic divine Lotus technique!

Unfortunately, fate loved to tease.

Now that he was truly able to see the Mystic divine Lotus technique, he was already unable to train.

The legends were right – the Mystic divine Lotus technique was truly buried within the Great Forbidden Ruins.

However, who would have thought that this was buried at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley!

Aiden finally realized why there was such an old, ancient, and battered temple at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.

There was a high probability that this temple was built by a surviving monk of either Fahua or Daming Monastery in the past!

However, what was the purpose of building a temple as such at the bottom of the valley?

The Mystic divine Lotus technique, something that could create endless waves of bloodshed in the martial power world, was now in the hands of an unknown little monk.

There was no fighting or bloodshed here.

In fact, the little monk even chose to share it of his own accord.

This was honestly quite an irony.

What was even more ironic was that now that Aiden had finally caught sight of the Mystic divine Lotus technique, he had already lost his ability to train.

Although the Mystic divine Lotus technique was a supreme secret classic of the Buddhist sects, it could not help someone with a shattered core and lost martial power retrain again.

Teaching to become Tai Johr was way too ruthless!

He had severed all of Aiden's hopes with a single punch and kick!

Gripping his fists tightly, Aiden reared his head slightly with an unyielding look in his eyes.

Nobody can make me stop in my tracks!

Nobody can stop my path forward!

Even with such a blow, Aiden had no intention of giving up.

He was not going to bow down to fate!

Someone had once altered his fate for him painstakingly.

If he admitted defeat at this moment, it would be equivalent to letting that person down!

Aiden assumed a lotus position and started feeling for spirit energy around him, gathering them bit by bit towards his core.

After entering his body and core, spirit energy dispersed immediately without lingering.

Right now, his core was like a bottomless black hole, devouring everything.

Aiden did not give up at all.
