Chapter 563: Chapter 274: The Birth of Divine Sense! Xuanzhou’s Transformation

And so, the determined Lu Xuanzhou chose to enter secluded cultivation to achieve a breakthrough.

He wanted revenge on Yu Suzhen. He wanted revenge on Chen Sheng.

However, the heavens played a cruel joke on him.

The successive blows had left his mind unstable. In the end... his breakthrough failed!

Not only did he suffer a backlash, but his Dantian Dao Seed was also destroyed.

While he wouldn’t be reduced to a cripple, his future path on the Martial Dao was completely cut off.

And so, at this moment, Lu Xuanzhou was truly plunged into despair.

The mere Innate Realm.

How could he possibly get revenge on Yu Suzhen?

How could he possibly get revenge on Chen Sheng, who had already become the number one prodigy of Yunzhou?

Lying in the secret chamber, Lu Xuanzhou even considered taking his own life.

It would be better to die than to live in humiliation under the shadows of Chen Sheng and Yu Suzhen.

But as Lu Xuanzhou raised his hand, he hesitated.

’If I die...’

’...my revenge will truly be impossible.’

’Perhaps when Chen Sheng hears the news, he’ll just sneer contemptuously.’

"How...? A few minor setbacks were enough to break you?"

Suddenly, just as Lu Xuanzhou hesitated, an aged voice abruptly echoed within the secret chamber.

"Who’s there?"

Lu Xuanzhou’s heart leaped in shock and alarm.

’This is a secret chamber of the Vast Sea Sect, guarded by Golden Core experts. How could anyone break in?’

"Heh heh..."

Along with a contemptuous chuckle, the sealed doors to the secret chamber slowly creaked open. A gaunt figure leaning on a cane walked in, looking down at Lu Xuanzhou from a superior position.

"Disciple pays his respects... Granny..."

Lu Xuanzhou froze for a moment before hurriedly bowing.

"Were you just thinking of killing yourself?"

Granny Wuhua calmly looked at Lu Xuanzhou, whose entire being emanated an air of dejection.

"I... I’m ruined."

Lu Xuanzhou clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he spoke with his head lowered.

If there were even a shred of hope for revenge, he would never give up.

However, this series of blows had completely crushed his spirit.

"Ruined?"

Granny Wuhua sneered contemptuously.

"Your foundation is merely damaged. That’s a far cry from being ruined."

"I... I still have hope?!"

Lu Xuanzhou looked up, his heart stirring with excitement as he listened to Granny Wuhua’s words.

’That’s right. This so-called predicament is just what I believe it to be.’

’In the eyes of a Golden Core expert like Granny Wuhua, perhaps it’s nothing at all.’

"For the sake of the respect Luoyun Manor showed me in the past, I can give you a chance."

"What kind of chance?"

"A chance for revenge. A chance to get revenge on Yu Suzhen and Chen Sheng."

A hint of a smile played in Granny Wuhua’s eyes.

"Someone like me... Can I... really have a chance to get revenge on Chen Sheng and the others?"

Lu Xuanzhou was hesitant.

Even if Granny Wuhua truly did repair his foundation.

Revenge would still be far from easy.

Yu Suzhen was a True Inheritor of the Vast Sea Sect and had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Profound Mastery Realm. She was one of the most outstanding Martial Dao geniuses in Yunzhou.

And Chen Sheng was even more incredible.

He had now become the undisputed number one prodigy of Yunzhou.

Even the True Inheritors from top-tier powers like Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Celestial Dragon Temple were no match for him.

’Can I... really do it?’

"On your own, of course not. But I can point you toward a clear path," Granny Wuhua said faintly.

Without hesitation, Lu Xuanzhou dropped to his knees with a THUD.

"I beg you to show me the way, Granny!"

"Your aptitude seems good, but your potential is actually limited. You have a chance at Profound Mastery, but Core Formation is absolutely impossible for you. Unless... a Golden Core Grandmaster was willing to use their own origin essence to refine your body and Divine Soul."

"Granny, you..."

Lu Xuanzhou’s heart was filled with a mix of shock and joy.

’Could it be that Granny Wuhua is willing to help me like that?’

"Silly boy, I still have plenty of my lifespan left. Of course I won’t damage my own origin essence to help you. But you’re in luck. An old friend of mine, whose lifespan is nearing its end, asked me to find him a successor to inherit his legacy. I looked around and found you to be the most suitable. Your disposition and background are both excellent. If he is willing to help you before he dies, you will have a hope of revenge in the future. However, this old friend of mine is currently trapped in the sect’s forbidden ground, the White Cold Cave. If you’re interested, you’d best go within three days, because his time is up in three days."

Granny Wuhua sighed.

Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flickered in Lu Xuanzhou’s mind.

As far as he knew, everyone imprisoned in the White Cold Cave was a sinner and a villain who had betrayed the sect. That was why they were locked up, forced to endure the torment of biting frost day and night.

But looking at Granny Wuhua’s eyes and thinking of the burning hatred he carried, Lu Xuanzhou gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to her.

"Thank you, Granny. I will surely repay this grace of giving me a new life in the future!"

"Go on, then. If you’re too late, the man’s life will be over. Remember, don’t alert anyone. You know what kind of place the White Cold Cave is. The sect does not permit casual entry or exit."

Watching Lu Xuanzhou, a hint of a smile flashed in the depths of Granny Wuhua’s eyes.

"Yes, Disciple will go at once."

.....

Although he had a three-day limit, Lu Xuanzhou didn’t dare to waste any time, afraid that the senior would pass away early.

After some brief preparations, he immediately set off for the White Cold Cave.

As a forbidden ground, the White Cold Cave naturally didn’t allow easy entry or exit. Left with no choice, Lu Xuanzhou accepted a guard duty assignment within the sect as a pretext.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and no one suspected a thing.

What made Lu Xuanzhou feel even luckier was that the sect elder who was supposed to be guarding the White Cold Cave forbidden ground wasn’t there. There wasn’t even anyone to hand over duties with; there were no guards at all.

At this moment, Lu Xuanzhou felt that he was blessed by fate.

He felt that his fortunes had finally turned after hitting rock bottom.

In the storybooks Lu Xuanzhou had read, there were many heroes who, after suffering setbacks, would suddenly rise up, exact their revenge, win the beauty’s heart, and carve out their own path in the Dao.

Right now, Lu Xuanzhou felt that he might be one of them.

Upon entering the White Cold Cave, Lu Xuanzhou found himself shivering uncontrollably from the surrounding chill despite his preparations. Fortunately, heaven rewards the determined. After enduring much suffering, he finally found the prison cell Granny Wuhua had mentioned. Looking from afar, he could see the scene inside.

Inside the dilapidated cave, a single, gaunt middle-aged man was curled up in a corner, his body bound by mysterious, rune-covered chains, making him look like a corpse.

"Senior?"

Lu Xuanzhou called out tentatively.

Hearing this, the withered man raised his head. His indifferent gaze fell upon Lu Xuanzhou, sending a chill down his spine. He hastily explained that Granny Wuhua had sent him.

"Ah... so you are the successor Wuhua found for me?"

The man narrowed his eyes, forcing a stiff smile.

"Yes, Senior, it is I."

Lu Xuanzhou nodded hastily.

"Wuhua and I go way back. I trust her judgment. In that case, come in."

The withered man nodded slightly.

Suppressing his excitement, Lu Xuanzhou pushed open the cell door and walked in. He knelt before the withered man and said solemnly:

"This junior, Lu Xuanzhou, is honored to receive your legacy today, Senior. I will forever remember this kindness and will build a shrine in your honor for daily worship!"

"You’re already receiving my legacy, and you’re still calling me Senior?"

The withered man frowned.

"Master?"

Lu Xuanzhou called out tentatively.

"Heh heh, you’re not so stupid after all, kid."

The withered man chuckled and studied Lu Xuanzhou seriously.

"Come closer."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing this, Lu Xuanzhou hurriedly shuffled forward a few steps on his knees.

The withered man scrutinized Lu Xuanzhou, the corners of his mouth curling into an almost imperceptible smile.

"My Daoist title is Daoist Fuhai. I have roamed the Jianghu for over a century and have obtained countless Secret Technique inheritances. If I were to use words alone, I couldn’t teach them all to you even in three days and three nights. Besides, I see that you seem to be injured. That being the case, I can only use a soul transmission Secret Technique. Open your mind and don’t resist in any way, or all our efforts will be for naught."

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Xuanzhou nodded repeatedly and quickly opened his mind.

The next moment.

Lu Xuanzhou’s heart trembled as he felt a terrifying Divine Thought instantly surge into his body.

"Disciple, this Secret Technique of mine is a supreme technique. It can transfer my entire life’s inheritance to you, giving you an unparalleled foundation. But... it has one small drawback."

"What drawback?"

Lu Xuanzhou asked subconsciously.

"Heh heh, you lose your memories!"

Along with a sinister laugh, Lu Xuanzhou instantly realized something was wrong and tried to resist.

However, the terrifying power was far beyond his ability to fight back. His vision went black, and he instantly fainted.
