《God Must Be Lazy He Allowed a Cultivation Anomaly》86. To Live is To Die
Advertisement
Kle In and Ver'a walked inside a fifty-meter long and ten meter-wide molded and dumpy hallway. At least every five meters are crystal orbs the size of a head placed on top of a cylindrical black metals standing on each sides of the hall. At the end of the hallway is an open area with Greater Kay'u Trees growing around a pond.
Ver'a threw the Mid Qi Crystals Kle In gave out earlier into the pond. After five minutes, the hall they passed by earlier became alive.
"You probably have less than an hour to study everything inside.” Vera said as he walked towards and entrance leaving Kle In alone.
Kle In placed his hand and inserted his Qi on one of the shining crystal orbs.
"To become a cultivator, one must be ready to kill for his ideals."
Ver'a did tell him that only cultivation techniques were recorded within this temple, but what he was looking for are cryptic hidden messages that may have been imbedded along the texts. Cultivation techniques is the heart of any family or Sect and should not be easily divulge, but Ver'a is willing to exchange them to improve their lineage.
Even Ver'a could not properly explain why they needed Re'y's seeds badly when Kle In asked earlier. He only said that elderly High Elvens develop a kind of instinct that would make them determine the perfect mates of their younglings.
After a few minutes, the lights emitted by the orbs started to dim and Kle In still found nothing. He still believes that Brung from a highly advance civilization should have had copies of his work hidden somewhere as a backup. Unless Ver'a lied about this temple having existed since ancient times.
Kle In extended his Qi to probe the area. He found out that the water supply of the pond comes from a natural spring and there at least six small holes where overflows are absorbed. He finally understood how the dissolved Qi Crystals powered the halls.

He took out one Spiritual Vein Model and submerged it near the spring. It did not take a minute for the entire pond to be filled with concentrated Spiritual Qi. Kle In then used his Qi to follow the directions of the overflowing water. He was astonished to find out that multiple gathering formations activated at the bottom of the mountain giving him a clear picture of the magnificent design of the training ground that spanned half a kilometer radius.
After reading the orbs again, he sat down in meditative position while his Qi is searching all over the area for any ancient hidden texts. After a few hours, he sighed in dejection.
While he was busy, at least twenty villagers were attracted to the unusual ripples of concentrated Spiritual Qi. Kle In did notice a few of them set up low leveled Isolation Formation but ignored them as he was fixated on looking for traces or clues Brung may have had left.
After another hour, Kle In finally gave up. He got up and started walking towards the entrance. He smiled at his own folly, unable to accept how reality played him and still clinging in hopes of a deluded fantasy of turning back time and undoing his mistake which even the proponent of the theory failed to accomplish.
Vera was waiting at the entrance.
"I wish to spend my remaining days in your village and I hope the Spiritual Vein is enough to compensate for any troubles I have caused and may bring."
Kle In flew back on the hill where he was initially brought to. Upon landing, he found Re'y near a bonfire with his offering. He extended his Qi to take a piece of cooked meat. He was attracted by the aroma of spice but upon taking a bite, he confirmed he truly lost the ability of taste besides bitterness and sweetness. Kle In took out a few spatial rings and a Spiritual Vein Model and handed them to Re'y.

"Those are the rings of the Nascent Soul experts whom I have killed. May you find them useful. I am not going anywhere and I hope to die here in peace.” Kle In explained as he handed a few more items and turned around.
Before Kle In could walk towards the dilapidated residence, Re'y kneeled with his forehead on the ground.
"I hope master can impart his techniques so I and my descendants can honor his legacy."
Kle In assumed Re'y was referring to his Failed Superman's Eyesight so he took out a paper and drew the Qi Nodes on the eyes and wrote instructions for circulation.
“I once asked someone to circulate that technique and did not see the same image as I did, but when you find one who can, they will naturally understand how the world works. Do not disturb me unless you bring extracts of Rabi'y Violet Orchid”
Kle In slowly walked towards the residence on the hill illuminated by moonlight. When Ver'a handed him the bottle of Greater Kay'u essence, he was tempted to drink it on the spot but now he wondered if there is even a sense to continue living now that he has lost his taste. Extending his life for another ten years is definitely a sound choice but living as a loathsome beast makes him rather choose death and liberate himself of this misery.
Since this residence contains books and valuable knowledge, he plans to write down his own biography to describe his short life and how he acquired power in exchange of his life. Knowledge is power and whoever may chance upon his biography may find some use for it. He decided to read everything first before sealing them back with his own pages. Kle In took a random book from the far edge of the shelf and opened it to the first page.
"My name is Avur, eighth patriarch of Mur clan. I have lived for more than nine hundred years and although I have a more than fifty years more to live, I decided to have that damnable jellyfish implanted in me. Before you, future patriarchs of Mur clan judge or think that I am a member of that crazy Ul Al'iya clan, I want you to understand that I am doing this to preserve our heritage.
The Spiritual Vein that has been supporting our clan for thousands of years has begun showing signs of decadence. The continued outburst of Black Qi infested beasts disrupted the balance of the world preventing births of Spiritual Veins. The following pages will cite my experiences as to how I have achieved Nascent soul at an early age, together with encounters I had with rare and unknown beasts and how I defeated or sealed them.
As a patriarch, your focus should be the preservation of our clan. Although everyone laughs at the idea that I will reborn as a Spiritual Vein after thousands of years, I am still doing it even if the chance is close to impossibility or even if it is just a myth. Call me crazy but at least not as crazy as your first patriarch who thinks he can turn back time. Seriously, who wants to live again and bicker with his wife for six hundred years and meddle into some stupid brats' altercations? I will break that nutcase's head if I meet him in the afterlife.
Don't forget to plant and nurture Tagtaga. It will help you appease your needs in bed when you get older.
