Chapter 385: Chapter 82 Leaving the Holy See_3
Subconsciously taking the Sword of Hades, the chillingly evil aura snapped Ah Dai out of his stupor. Eyeing the black gem on the hilt which emanated a weird energy, Ah Dai felt an urge to throw it away. Taking a deep breath to suppress the restlessness inside him, he fastened the Sword of Hades onto his back again. In a mumble, he said, "Do you trust me that much?"
The Pope replied, "Evil is the opposite of goodness, and only the righteous can control this most evil object in the world. When you woke up from your severe injuries yesterday, the first name you called was that of your friend, proving that you value your friend’s life more than your own. From this alone, I know that you are definitely a kind-hearted child."
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Your Eminence, thank you for your trust. Under the Sword of Hades, I will only slay the wicked. This is my promise to you. If there is nothing else, I think, we should also leave." Every extra moment he spent here, his desire to see Xuan Yue intensified, perhaps only leaving the Holy See could calm his heart.
Looking at Ah Dai’s burdensome countenance, Pope lightly nodded his head, "Alright, if there is anything you need help with in future, you are always welcome here. We will do our best to help you. The millennium catastrophe perhaps requires you to resolve it, time is running out. Be careful in your journey ahead. Chief Judge, please see them off."
Acknowledging his words, Xuan Yuan led Ah Dai and the others out of the Prayer Temple.
Watching Ah Dai and the others leave, Xuan Ye walked to the Pope and said in a low voice, "Father, are you really not taking this opportunity to retrieve the Sword of Hades? That is what our ancestors in the Holy See gave us!"
The Pope frowned, "Ye, I have always held you in high regard, and your performance has not disappointed me. How can you be so shortsighted? Although the Sword of Hades is important, it is trivial compared to the millennial catastrophe. Ah Dai’s demeanor was a bit off today, did you say something to him?"
Xuan Ye slightly startled, "Father, I never felt that Ah Dai has what it takes to be the Savior. The late God Feather was so insightful! But he’s just a young fool, maybe Yue Yue had only interpreted it that way to exonerate him. His skills today are nearly all down to luck."
The Pope sighed deeply, "Child, how could your thoughts and mine differ so much? While I have been trying to curry favor with Ah Dai, you have been pushing him away. Luck? Do you think luck is something anyone can have? It is the guiding result of the Sky God, yes his achievements today are somewhat related to luck, but his own character and hard work have also changed many things. From now on, I request you, regardless of the situation in the future, never be his enemy. We don’t need to keep an eye on him for now, I believe, if he is truly the Savior, there will be some signs before the sacred millennium. Your cultivation has been a bit slow recently, you should work harder, otherwise, you may fall behind your own daughter." After speaking, the Pope disappeared into the Prayer Temple in a flash of golden light, leaving only a stunned Xuan Ye.
Once outside the temple, Xuan Yuan slowed down his pace, "Ah Dai, I want to ask you, was the Thunderbolt attack taught to you by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang?"
Ah Dai, seeing nothing worth hiding, nodded and said, "Yes, my grandmaster taught it to me."
Xuan Yuan continued, "How much more powerful would it be if the same attack was executed by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang compared to your execution?"
Ah Dai shook his head, "I’m not sure about that, I’ve never seen my grandmaster use it. However, my grandmaster told me that the Life Transmutation technique I trained has reached between the second and third metamorphosis. The deeper one cultivates it, the greater the power of the summoned thunder. My grandmaster’s Life Transmutation has reached the sixth metamorphosis, so I guess, his power should be much greater than mine."
In his heart, Xuan Yuan sighed silently. He knew that with his current abilities, he was incomparable to the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang if even handling Ah Dai’s Thunderbolt attack was such a challenge. If the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang personally executed it, the power would be unimaginable. Even his eldest brother might not be able to handle it, and he himself would inevitably die under the thunder. "If you see the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang again, tell him that Chief Judge Xuan Yuan will take the opportunity to seek his advice."
Although Ah Dai didn’t quite understand Xuan Yuan’s intentions, he still nodded his head. The thought of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, who almost gave up everything for him, brought tears to his eyes.
Xuan Yuan said, "After descending the mountain, continue heading southeast, and you’ll reach the Tian Yuan Clan’s territory. Ah Dai, you still can’t control the Thunderbolt attack now, and before your power is replenished, you’d better use it less. Another internal injury like the previous one, even the Pope won’t be able to save you, understand?"
Ah Dai, thinking of the colliding energies of that day’s Yin Yang twin thunders, couldn’t help feeling palpitations, and seriously nodded, "Don’t worry, I will take caution."
Xuan Yuan turned to the Yan Shi brothers, reaching into his bosom, he pulled out a thin book and handed it over, "Because of my mistake earlier, Ah Dai almost lost his life, consider this as an apology to you. Ah Dai’s skills are already strong enough, he doesn’t need my guidance anymore. The techniques of the Tian Gang Sword Sect are very authentic, as long as one works hard, he will gradually improve. Although you two are considered good for your age, the things you have learned are too miscellaneous, which can affect your future accomplishments. The book contains the method of cultivating my Divine Battle Aura, it should be more suitable for you. Practice hard, strive to convert your chaotic True Qi. Don’t worry, this method of cultivation is my unique skill, and has nothing to do with the Holy See."
