The Crazy Son-In-Law

Facing the earthen wall in front of him, Xiao Shun raised a sword-like finger and pointed at the wall. In the next second, something unexpected happened! A transparent ripple appeared, reflecting the light of flames and blocking Xiao Shun’s attack on the wall’s surface.

“As expected…” Xiao Shun nodded, withdrawing his finger and carefully examining the wall. Just as he had suspected, there was indeed a barrier here. The barrier was strong enough to withstand half of his spiritual energy attack.

“Behind this wall, there must be some important records; otherwise, Master wouldn’t guard it so strictly!” He muttered to himself as he struck again with eighty percent of his strength. An Anterior realm peak cultivator’s eighty percent power could easily pulverize a giant boulder weighing dozens of tons, but it still couldn’t shake the barrier.

“Is Master testing my strength?” Xiao Shun pondered as he watched the dissipating ripple. Realizing something, he decided to stop probing and gathered all his energy, forming a fist and striking heavily at the void before him.

“Boom!” A loud noise shattered the tranquility of the place and spread far away. Suddenly, Xiao Shun heard a faint sound of glass breaking. The sturdy barrier on the wall began to crack under his punch.

With a “crack,” something seemed to shatter. The barrier was finally broken by his punch! As the barrier disappeared, so did the wall in Xiao Shun’s sight, replaced by a dark entrance. Even with his current cultivation level, he couldn’t see through the black mist or discern what lay within.

“A maze?” Xiao Shun was bewildered by what he saw. The maze he referred to was different from what ordinary people knew; it was composed of chaotic mist that could obscure a cultivator’s sharp eyes. This kind of mist was terrifying for ordinary cultivators but posed little threat to someone like Xiao Shun who had cultivated “Heart Technique.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“What an elaborate setup! Master not only set up a powerful barrier but also a maze. What secret is hidden here that makes him so cautious?” Muttering in confusion, Xiao Shun closed his eyes and stepped into the passageway. At this moment, “Heart Technique” flowed silently within him as he advanced through the dark mist.

After an unknown period, he slowly opened his eyes. “Where is this?” Xiao Shun was astonished by what he saw-a cave about ten square meters in area. A large luminous pearl on the ceiling emitted a faint glow, dispelling the darkness.

The cave was empty except for a dusty wooden box in the middle. The box was ancient and entirely black, likely made from thousand-year-old ebony. The box alone was priceless; its contents must be even more valuable!

Xiao Shun quickly approached the box and found a letter on top of it with bold characters on the cover: “To my disciple Xiao Shun.” Was this left by Master? Xiao Shun was slightly stunned but then picked up the letter and carefully read it.

“Disciple, since you are here, your cultivation must have reached the peak of Anterior realm! I am very pleased about this. Our Wradeogon contains much unknown history closely related to us cultivators. Now that you are about to enter another realm, you are qualified to learn this history. Once you understand it, you will know how to break through ‘Consolidation.’

When you read this letter, I will not be by your side. But don’t worry; I have placed high-level techniques matching your cultivation level in this box along with that unknown history. Lastly, do not worry about me; we will meet again someday in a broader and more exciting world!”

Xiao Shun felt waves of emotion after reading this far. What is this unknown history of cultivators? And what does Master’s last message mean? With these questions in mind, Xiao Shun carefully stored Master’s letter and opened the box.

With a creak, dust scattered everywhere…

The next morning, Xiao Shun sat alone on a stone chair in the courtyard with a solemn expression, never taking his eyes off the ancient book beside him. He had spent all night learning many secrets from its records.

The most shocking revelation was about the ten “Hidden Families.” In Xiao Shun’s previous worldview, the most mysterious beings were powerful cultivators hidden deep in mountains! But compared to those powerful cultivators, the “Hidden Families” were far stronger!

Compared to these colossal entities, Old School Society was nothing but a joke! To these sects, Old School Society was just an ant. If not for Kylian’s disturbance causing spiritual energy depletion back then, these sects would still be active today instead of hiding in their sect realms for cultivation.

Due to Antarctica House’s demise, only nine sects remained out of ten. According to Master’s records in this book, Antarctica House did not entirely perish within Kylian but left behind a seed-the young son of Damian Southcastle.

When Antarctica House went to Kylian as a group, this child was only three years old and was entrusted to someone’s care; his whereabouts remain unknown.

Master didn’t elaborate much on these sects but advised Xiao Shun to avoid contact with them unless necessary and never seek them out before reaching ‘Consolidation.’

Xiao Shun understood why Master gave such advice; these Hidden Families’ strength was beyond his current capability to contend with.

Thinking about it made him smile faintly. “So the five Spirit Stones needed for ‘Consolidation’ breakthrough are tightly controlled by these sects. Fortunately, Master told me where I can find some Spirit Stones; otherwise, I’d have no way to break through!”
