The Road To Immortality

The Heaven Seal

At the outbreak of the great war with the God Man, the Cultivator alliance managed to win the war due to the appearance of the mysterious 7 Cultivators who possessed extraordinary powers, they were known as the Heaven Seal.

Cultivators who were predicated as Heaven Seals stored one of the seven Divine Beasts within their bodies, thus having an enormous supply of qi and possessing an unthinkable strength, to be able to seal the God Man inside the Dark Mountain.

"In'er, I'm actually one of the 7 Heaven Seals"

"Pffftt-"

Zhou Jin's statement made Nang In spout a drink right on the Old Man's face, after all Zhou Jin's own words were like a bolt of lightning. Really - really surprised him!

The Old Man who always acted silly and was so crazy with his Wife, was one of the 7 heroes who managed to bring peace to mankind?

Nang In stroked the chin looking seriously at the Old Man from above until it seemed to be making sure what he said was true or not.

Realizing Nang In's incredulous gaze, Zhou Jin coughed lightly and then struck his chest proudly, "While I look like this, I am The King Sword, the sword genius of the Thousand Flower Month"

"Hmm but didn't a Heaven Seal have a physique that was a little similar to the Divine Beast residing within their bodies?"

"It's true, but such physical features are the hallmarks of the first generation Heaven Seal, whereas I'm from the second generation"

The first generation Heaven Seal had the physical features of a half Demonic Beast, had a human body but had additional limbs, such as wings, claws, or tails, as well as a human body, in accordance with the Divine Beasts residing within their bodies.

As for the second generation Heaven Seal, they were fully human-like in the absence of any additional limbs, but were replaced with a seal symbol on one of their bodies.

The second generation Heaven Seal lived after the end of the great war against the God-Man, more precisely living in the era of the great war between the white stream and the black stream.

Some first-generation Heaven Seals established their own sects and the Emperor would provide all the resources they needed on condition that they were willing to become a spear as well as a shield for the imperial combat power.

This mutually beneficial relationship had been going on for a very long time, so the war between empires relied so heavily on the strength of the Heaven Seals.

However there was a Heaven Seal that preferred to seclude itself somewhere and did not want to get involved with anyone.

Controlling the power of the Divine Beast was extremely difficult, sometimes the Heaven Seal was unable to control the Divine Beast so it went berserk and resulted in numerous fatalities.

However if a Heaven Seal was able to control the power of a Divine Beast, no doubt, then he would become a hero in the Cultivator World.

Despite having power above reason, many Cultivators from various streams were trying to steal the power of the Divine Beast, which made a Heaven Seal have to hide his identity.

Zhou Jin gulped down a glass of water taken from the Blue Sky Lake saying, "My wife and I have been adventuring in various places in this Continent, and they have been, various terrain and weather have been passed by us to find a suitable Heir"

"Does this have anything to do with Master who is a Heaven Seal?"

"To be precise, at my current age I am not careless enough to defend the Divine Beast that is within me"

"But Master, wouldn't it be safer for a Divine Beast to be guarded by a powerful Cultivator like yourself?" asked Nang In while drinking a glass of sweet water.

"It's true, but just like life keeps turning, wouldn't it be appropriate if I gave the young generation a chance? after all what can an Old Man like me do?"

Nang In wanted to answer, but Zhou Jin first continued.

"Whatever fate has brought us together, son, what if you become one of the 7 Heaven Seals?"

"Pffftt-"

**

After being offered to become a Heaven Seal, thoughtlessly Nang In firmly rejected Zhou Jin's offer.

According to the book he read, the Heaven Seal was life bound to the Divine Beast, if the Heaven Seal died with the Divine Beast in their body, then the Divine Beast would die.

And if the Divine Beast was removed from the Heaven Seal body by force or voluntary, then the Heaven Seal would instantly die and the Divine Beast would be freed.

Therefore Nang In did not want to lose his Master just for the sake of inheriting the Divine Beast to himself.

Realizing that his disciple was worried about him, Zhou Jin was pleased, smiling and stroking Nang In's hair, "I know what you mean In'er, but don't worry, I have another way of inheriting the Divine Beast without sacrificing my life"

Nang In's eyes widened, "Really? is there such a way, Master?"

Zhou Jin smiled kindly, "There is, of course, this is the way that my wife and I created this island"

The payment Heaven Seal that wanted to inherit the Divine Beast was life. But during his time on the Spice Island, Zhou Jin and Lin Yue had managed to develop a way to move the Divine Beast without having to lose their lives.

If this thing were to spread, it would probably shake the entire Northern Heavens Continent!

For the Heaven Seal rules residing within the sect, they would be directly chosen by the Sect Leader, who was a Heaven Seal himself. Generally will be selected young seedlings that deserve to be made the next Heaven Seal.

Zhou Jin was actually a Heaven Seal tied to the neutral sect stream that was, Frozen Island. There should have been a selection process within the sect, but due to some issues, Zhou Jin chose to look for the heir himself outside the sect.

"So are you willing to become a Heaven Seal In'er?"

Nang In was speechless, his expression seemed complicated, according to him Zhou Jin's offer was too sudden and bore too much weight. Indeed, if it became the Heaven Seal it would gain tremendous power, but there would be many Cultivators eyeing it.

"I suggest you accept Nak" Lin Yue's voice sounded, he came over to the two of them.

"Teacher Lin"

"I know in the future you will be hunted by various Cultivators, but on the bright side you will get the power to suppress the Demon Jade"

Lin Yue's thought was to make Nang In a Heaven Seal and then use the restrained Divine Beast's power to suppress the existence of the Demon Jade, it would certainly not be easy, but at least there is a bright spot to respond to this problem.

But Lin Yue's words were still not enough to convince Nang In, although accepting the offer made him stronger, but the burden he had to bear became heavier.

Other than demon jade, he had to endure the existence of Divine Beasts within his body, wasn't that excessive?

"Forget revenge, don't you want to find your uncle's whereabouts? if you're weak, are you sure you can meet him?"

Lin Yue's words made Nang In aware of the Cultivator world's concept, it was the strong who would rule, whereas the weak would continue to be trampled and lose the most important thing to them.

Like Nang In who had to see the massacre that occurred in his village, then parted with his uncle, if he was strong then he might be able to prevent or at least save one life, this is what made him change his mind.

Closing his eyes, Nang In made up his mind to believe in the decision he was about to make.

"I'm well prepared"
