Chapter 5661
The old man of Tianmen’s voice became low and hoarse, “It was a rainy night when I found an abandoned baby at the sect’s gate.
The child looked only a few years old, soaked to the bone and shivering. I took pity on him and brought him back to the sect, taking him in as a disciple.”
“I named him Soul Devourer, hoping he could forget the pain of the past and start a new life.
Soul Devourer was exceptionally intelligent, with extremely high cultivation talent, and quickly became a core disciple of Tianmen. I treated him like my own son, passing on all of Tianmen’s secret techniques to him.”
When Kai and Liu Xue heard the name Soul Devourer, they couldn’t help but think of Soul Devourer Venerable.
At this point, a look of heartache flashed in the old man of Tianmen’s eyes: “But I never expected that this child was actually a remnant of the Demonic Sect.
His family was wiped out by the righteous path, and he harbored hatred since childhood. The reason he approached me was to learn Tianmen’s secret techniques and then take revenge.”
“After he cultivated to the Celestial Immortal Realm, he finally revealed his true colors. On a full moon night, he suddenly launched an attack on Tianmen.
Using the cultivation techniques I taught him, combined with the evil arts of the Demonic Sect, he slaughtered all the disciples of Tianmen in one night.”
The old man of Tianmen’s voice choked, tears streaming down his face. “I was in seclusion at the time, and when I emerged, the entire Tianmen was a river of blood, littered with corpses.
My most prized disciple, my most trusted relative, had betrayed me, ruining my life’s work.”
The old man of Tianmen took a deep breath and continued, “I hid the core area of Tianmen, forming this ruin.
Then I destroyed my physical body, following my disciples, leaving only this wisp of my soul here, waiting for over ten thousand years, hoping to find someone truly qualified to inherit the Tianmen’s legacy, so that he could fulfill one of my wishes.”
Hearing this, Kai and Liu Xue finally understood why the previous tests were all about not being a saint.
It turned out that the Tianmen sect leader’s kindness in saving a demon had led to the sect’s destruction.
Now they understood why Tianmen had disappeared overnight—it had been destroyed by the Soul Devourer.
“Senior, that Soul Devourer committed countless atrocities in the Nine Heavens and has been suppressed in the Sixth Heaven for ten thousand years,” Kai said.
“He’s been suppressed? It seems he received his due punishment.” The old man of Tianmen seemed relieved.
“However, that Soul Devourer escaped again and has now returned to the Nine Heavens,” Kai said.
The old man of Tianmen was taken aback, then said, “Young man, don’t speak so dramatically, okay?”
“Senior, what is your wish?” Liu Xue asked respectfully.
A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Gate Elder: “My wish is for someone to kill the Soul Devourer for me, avenging the disciples of the Heavenly Gate.
At the same time, I also hope that the Heavenly Gate’s legacy can continue, allowing it to once again stand tall in the Nine Heavens.”
The Heavenly Gate Elder looked at Kai and said earnestly, “Young man, I see unwavering will and formidable strength in you.
You have passed all the tests I set, proving that you are not a soft-hearted saint, but a strong individual capable of surviving in a world where the strong prey on the weak.”
“I have decided to entrust you with all of the Heavenly Gate’s heritage. Within it are the cultivation resources accumulated by generations of the Heavenly Gate, its unique techniques, and its most prized treasures.
I hope you can utilize these resources to quickly enhance your strength, then kill the Soul Devourer and avenge the Heavenly Gate.”
With that, the Heavenly Gate Elder waved his hands, and a golden light shot from them, instantly merging into Kai’s body.
