Devourer Physique part 2 (38)
"I admit that all this has me hooked but I still don't see how all this relates to me?" Ruvan said with a confused look.
"Phew… Can't you be a little more patient? Xiong Mei said after a sigh. Finally she composed herself and continued with her story.
"This is all related to you more than you imagine…"
"Azkabar Hyllaz, ruled dozens of continents with an iron fist for thousands of years until finally those beneath him rebelled. Dozens of powers such as The Rain Palace; The monks of Mount Potala; The Heavenly Sword Sect; among many others united to confront Azkabar"
"After a hard battle. Azkabar, was finally defeated and along with it the powerful Pleasure Palace also fell"
"After the death of Azkabar Hyllaz, all his descendants and wives were exterminated or that is what his enemies thought…"
"By studying some ancient texts I was able find the tomb of Azkabar's favorite concubine… It was there where I discovered many of its secrets…"
"The main secret I discovered was the condition of Azkabar Hyllaz's physique… I discovered that he had a special type of physique that was capable of devouring Yin and Yang energy as if it were a black hole."
"Thanks to this special condition of his body. Azkabar developed a technique that would allow him to absorb Yin and Yang energy in a much more practical and simple way. This allowed him to reach unimaginable levels of power in a quite impressive period of time that eclipsed the rest of cultivators of his time"
"However… Azkabar's physique proved to be much rarer than many people initially thought… Of the hundreds of thousands of descendants he had, none seemed to have inherited his physique…"
"None until you were born" Said Xiong Mei with a solemn voice.
"Me?" Ruvan replied with surprise, after all this, he really didn't expect it.
Xiong Mei simply smiled before continuing with her story.
"Azkabar and the Elders of the Pleasure Palace did many experiments but they all seemed to fail except one…" Xiong Mei said with a serious tone after all she was finally getting to the key point of the story.
"A certain concubine of Azkabar, demonstrated certain changes in her bloodline that drastically increased the chances of one of her descendants inheriting Azkabar's physique, but unfortunately before they could find out the Palace was destroyed and Azkabar was killed…"
'Shit... That's quite a story...'
'Just because the Master is speaking in such a serious manner, I don't suspect that she ate one of those funny mushrooms' Ruvan thought to himself as he continued listening.
"After Azkabar's death a group of his most loyal followers were tasked with escorting this woman as far as possible from the eyes of the enemies who had destroyed the Palace"
"Meanwhile, the rest of Azkabar's wives dispersed in different directions to attract their enemies and thus be able to divert attention from the pregnant woman".
"Is all this in the archives of the Master Sect?" Ruvan asked curiously after all this was quite hot information.
"Not at all…"
"The founding members of the Thousand Desires Sect left behind some magical realms that disciples can enter to claim some inheritances from the powerful ancestors of the Sect…"
"The founder of the sect turned out to be Azkabar's concubine…"
"After a series of trials I become the inheritor of her legacy… In other words I become her apprentice"
"My Master told me all this through the soul remnant she left in her tomb… My master not only made me the heir to her legacy but also gave me the task of finding the descendant of Azkabar" Xiong Mei said with a serious look. .
"My Master had created a Talisman capable of identifying the possessor of Azkabar's physique but unfortunately this would be an almost impossible task after all not even my Master knew if Azkabar's pregnant concubine had managed to escape from her pursuers".
"At the end of the day I had to do everything possible and to do, so I spared no resources in setting up a search network that spans dozens of continents".
"The chances of finding the Azkabar Hyllaz heir were extremely remote, however I did everything possible to achieve it. I distributed these talismans in all our brothels in the hope that one day I would find him…"
"Although it ended up being almost five thousand years, I was finally able to find you" Xiong Mei said with an excited expression in her eyes.
Ruvan was quite impressed with Xiong Mei's ability and meticulousness after all she had single-handedly created a structure capable of locating him on any of the dozens of continents where the Thousand Desires Sect had a presence. At the end of the day, it was thanks to Xiong Mei's methods that she was finally able to find him.
"Wow… I must say that I am quite impressed".
"There is something I doubt… Possessing this physical class makes me some kind of successor?" Ruvan asked doubtfully after all it was too much sudden information for him.
"It actually makes you"
"The lineage of Azkabar Hyllaz was considered extinct by their enemies, but from what my Master knows, the concubine they protected was pregnant…"
"Based on logic you are a descendant of that woman and of course the Palace Master as well".
"Azkabar Hyllaz had established that whoever inherited his physique would be named the Prince of the Palace."
"Following this, this title would automatically make you the heir of not only the Thousand Desires Sect but also all those powers that were founded by the survivors of the Plasure Palace" Xiong Mei said seriously.
"But I guess things are not as simple as they seem…" Ruvan said with an ironic smile, after all, no one would be willing to give up their privileges to a stranger just because he has a legendary physique never seen before…
"Exactly…"
"The Great Patriarch of the Sect knows about my search and to be honest he opposes it after all with your arrival his authority would be relegated to the background…"
"It is for this reason that I said before that I could not openly accept you as my disciple… If I do, the Patriarch of the Sect will become suspicious and will surely end up trying to kill you by all possible means. He has always been someone ruthless who only looks out for himself…" Xiong Mei said with a tone full of resentment.
It was not difficult for Ruvan to see that the Sect Patriarch was involved in the injuries that Xiong Mei had on her body.
"And then? What's the plan? I can't just introduce myself like that, right?" Ruvan said with a smile. If this woman was capable enough to set up such an extensive search network, she would surely have thought of some countermeasures in case she could find her long-awaited target.
"That's what we are gonna do…" Said Xiong Mei before starting to explain her plan to Ruvan.
