Suddenly…

A few scenes flashed through Aiden's mind vaguely.

It was true that his 'spirit root' was unlike those around him!

It was most obvious from his martial power speed!

His Energy Gathering speed had even surpassed martial artists with heaven spirit roots!

Furthermore, the quality of his spirit energy was extremely pure and was even stronger than martial artists of the same level with heaven spirit roots!

Aiden was indignant and pushed through the barrier of the stone gate with brute force.

Thereafter, the spirit testing gate was shattered!

Could it be…

A frightening thought flashed through Aiden's mind.

The old monk nodded. "Guest, actually, right from the beginning, you've never had a spirit root!"

Aiden was shocked.

The old monk continued, "The female guest took away the Saraca Flower and sealed this utmost treasure of the religious sects in your original core, replacing the function of a spirit root."

Aiden's mouth opened slightly.

It felt as though there was suddenly an explanation for some of the doubts he had previously.

It was no wonder why Number 13 had a slightly odd expression when she said that she had planted the 'roots of future' for him.

Furthermore, based on what she said at that time, it now looked like she was implying something.

Number 13 said that she implanted a spirit root that wouldn't be inferior to a heaven spirit root for him instead of saying directly that she implanted a heaven spirit root for him.

The old monk remarked, "The reason why you're able to sense spirit energy and gather them to train isn't that you've got a spirit root. It's because there's an utmost treasure of the religious sects that comes from the Pure Land in your core!"

The information truly had an enormous impact on Aiden.

He was a little confused and asked with a frown, "Why does the spirit energy I gather carry the fire attribute?"

"That's because the Saraca Flower is also known as the Flaming Flower. When it blooms, it resembles a flame and is extremely sensitive towards the spirit energy of fire attribute in the surroundings!"

Everything that did not make sense made sense at the moment.

With the two utmost treasures of the divine phoenix bone and the Saraca Flower, coupled with his sensitivity towards flames, it was only logical that Aiden would have a frightening martial power speed.

Spirit energy would also be naturally purer after the refinement of two utmost treasures.

Although the spirit testing gate had been around for several thousand years, there was no way it could withstand the might of two utmost treasures!

The old monk smiled. "Guest, have you not discovered that in the past year, you are already able to understand some of the ancient techniques of the religious sects as well as comprehend them?"

Aiden nodded.

He had tried his hands on religious techniques before while he was studying in the skink's underground city.

At that time, the religious techniques were like scriptures of the heavens that he could not understand. In fact, he could not even take in a single word and merely felt his head spin.

In less than an hour, he had already cast all the techniques aside.

The baffling thing was that many years later when Aiden picked up the religious techniques once more at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley, he was now able to understand most of them!

The old monk's voice sounded once more, "Without a root of wisdom, one will never be able to understand the secrets of the religious techniques, let alone train and understand the teaching. In fact, they wouldn't even be able to continue reading. However, it's different for you…"

Gradually, a realization entered Aiden's mind.

The Saraca Flower was a sacred item of the religious sects.

It existed within Aiden's core and had not only replaced the purpose of the spirit root but also granted him wisdom that was comparable to the root of wisdom.

That was the gift left behind for him by Number 13!

It was far from a simple spirit root.

Finally, Aiden understood the earnest intentions of Number 13.

Be it the Saraca Flower or divine phoenix bone, they were both utmost treasures of Tianhuang Mainland!

Before she left, Number 13 said that she left three gifts for him. Right now, Aiden already knew two of them but he did not know what the last one was.

Aiden asked, "Where is that flower now?"

"It's still within your core. However, you have not trained to the realm of introspection and as such, you aren't able to see it yet," The old monk replied.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Earlier on, I said that there had never been anyone in history who could train after their martial power is crippled. That is indeed true. I don't know how I should resolve your plight as well."

"However, that female guest had gone through the painstaking effort of sealing the Saraca Flower in your core while leaving that statement here. I'm guessing… that there must be a deeper meaning to it."

Aiden nodded.

Actually, when he caught sight of the statement left behind by Number 13, Aiden had already decided that he was going to train peacefully at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley from here on.

"To become one of the greatest, you have to work on the foundation and be willing to take hardship and serve others!"

That was his tribulation.

He had to endure it!

There would definitely come a day when he would become the greatest and break through the horizons to the nine heavens, reappearing in the mortal realm to shock all living beings!

The old monk pointed to the side and said, "In the technique Chamber, there are classics left behind from South Wind and North Wind Monasteries. Look at them more and you might be able to gain something from them."

Aiden nodded.

Both South Wind and North Wind Monastery were top factions that were comparable to the current super sects such as all the top sects and all the fiend sects – it was obvious how deep their foundations ran.

Unfortunately, this derelict old temple that was isolated from the rest of the world was the only thing left of the two super sects after the catastrophe ten thousand years ago.

The entire martial power world did not even know about the existence of this old temple at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.

Although the old monk merely mentioned it casually, Aiden knew clearly in his heart that there were many secret skills of South Wind and North Wind Monastery in these ancient books!

For example, the Mystic divine Lotus technique was thought by the outside world to be lost.

Who would have guessed that this technique known as the number one secret skill for Martial Masters would be found at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley?

Who would have thought that it would be in the hands of a young monk and it could be read at any time?

It was not hard to imagine that the impact caused by the appearance of the Mystic divine Lotus technique would be much more terrifying than the Vermilion Fruit!

At that time, there would be a blood storm.

The paragons of the North Region wouldn't be the only ones involved.

Even all the paragons of the entire world would be moved and driven crazy for it!

Furthermore, the Mystic divine Lotus technique was not the only one – there were many other techniques similar to it in the library!

That seemingly battered library was in fact a gigantic treasure trove!

It was equivalent to the legacy of two super sects placed right before Aiden's eyes!

The only pity was that his martial power was crippled and he had no way of gathering energy.

If he could condense energy, there would now be the legacy of the religious sects in his body as well, on top of the legacy of the righteous and fiendish teachings!

As Aiden pondered, the old monk seemed to have thought of something and his expression turned rueful.

He sighed, saying, "After the catastrophe back then, South Wind Monastery and North Wind Monastery are no longer around and have been washed away by the sands of time. Everyone from the past is already gone and now… I'm the only one left."

The old monk's words carried a heart-wrenching loneliness in it.

Aiden could not help but ask, "Senior, are you and Fellow guest Morwyn Blackstone the only ones in this old temple?"

After a moment of silence, the old monk nodded. "The two of us are the only ones here."
