CHAPTER 1822: CHAPTER 1822: ANCIENT BEAST DEMON INHERITANCE?

"Wyatt, since you are the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, with your status, why did you need to disguise yourself as ’Eden Lee’ to participate in the Overleaping Rankings battle to defend Julia? With just a word from you, would the Sky-scraping Mansion dare to defy you?"

After learning that Wyatt Barnes is indeed the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Augustine Landon was utterly puzzled by this.

These matters were previously mentioned to him by Wyatt.

In his view, with Wyatt’s status, just a single word would ensure the Sky-scraping Mansion dare not disobey!

Even a typical Third-Rate Power junior leader’s words have weight with the Sky-scraping Mansion, let alone a top-notch Third-Rate Power like the Mansion of Azure Clouds!

"Moreover, since you are the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, why come to the Mysterious Void Mansion? You could have obtained better cultivation resources there!"

Augustine was deeply confused.

"Brother Augustine, it’s normal for you to have such questions. But you must understand that until today, I didn’t know the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds was my father! Thus, I naturally didn’t know I had the identity of ’Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’... In such a situation, I naturally had to do everything by myself."

Wyatt lamented.

"How is this possible?!"

Hearing Wyatt’s words, Augustine was taken aback.

However, recalling Wyatt’s reaction when he asked about the name of the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, he felt that Wyatt was indeed telling the truth.

"Wyatt, didn’t your father ever mention that he is the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds? A few years ago, when he brought many relatives back from the Mortal Continent to the Mansion of Azure Clouds, why didn’t he bring you back?"

Augustine was puzzled.

"My father left me on the Mortal Continent intending to train me... Nevertheless, he left me ’clues,’ instructing that after I had the power to stand at the pinnacle of the Mortal Continent, I should seek him at the Martial Dao Sacred Land. Unfortunately, the clue he left me encountered changes due to my issues."

Thinking of the damaged sound-condensing jade piece inside the exquisite jade box from before, Wyatt sighed again.

Fate plays strange games!

After Wyatt’s explanation, Augustine had a moment of realization, "So that’s how it is... However, it’s also fortunate that there were changes. If you had gone to the Mansion of Azure Clouds right after arriving at the Martial Dao Sacred Land, perhaps we wouldn’t have the chance to know each other."

"Indeed."

Wyatt nodded, feeling a wave of emotion.

"Wyatt, since you’ve confirmed that the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Lanni Barnes,’ is your father, what are your plans, are you going to find him?"

Augustine asked.

"Certainly!"

Wyatt nodded without hesitation, "Before going to the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, my greatest wish was to reunite with my family... Now that I’ve received news of my family, I naturally must go find them!"

Knowing that his father was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Wyatt wished he could grow wings and fly as fast as possible to the Mansion of Azure Clouds.

There, not only did he have his parents, but also his fiancée, his child!

"Counting the time... Jovie and my child should be a few years old by now, right?"

Thinking of Jovie Lee, and the child they had, Wyatt’s eyes unconsciously softened with affection.

Seeing Wyatt standing there with a silly smile, Augustine knew he was thinking of his long-separated family and sensibly refrained from disturbing him, as if bothering Wyatt at that moment would be a crime.

Just as Wyatt mentioned, those disciples of the Dunn Family branch from the Mysterious Void Mansion hadn’t left long before the news of Augustine’s breakthrough to the ’Human Saint Realm’ spread throughout the Mysterious Void Mansion, causing an uproar.

The previously suppressed atmosphere due to the revelation of the Devouring Dark Demon Art also improved somewhat.

"Brother Augustine actually broke through to the ’Human Saint Realm’?"

"As expected of the Protector’s son, like father, like son!"

"Even when the House Master broke through to the Human Saint Realm, he wasn’t as young as Brother Augustine is now, right?"

"If Brother Augustine becomes our next House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion, we’ll surely have the chance to become a powerful force like the Mansion of Azure Clouds or the Shadow Mountain Black Market! It’s just a pity he once said that once he breaks through to the ’Human Saint Realm,’ he’d head to the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land."

"First, there was Wyatt, and now there’s Augustine, heroes capable of leading our Mysterious Void Mansion to greater heights... It’s a shame they both set their sights on the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!"

...

As the news of Augustine’s breakthrough to the ’Human Saint Realm’ spread, the elders and disciples of the Mysterious Void Mansion marveled in awe yet felt a tinge of regret.

Because they knew Augustine’s breakthrough to the ’Human Saint Realm’ also indicated he wouldn’t stay in the Mysterious Void Mansion much longer.

"Augustine actually broke through?"

At the Main Mansion of Mysterious Void Mansion, the Vice House Master ’Atlas Dunn’ also received this news.

Simultaneously, external opinions suggesting he was inferior to Augustine caused his face to darken.

He and Augustine were both sons of the two Protectors of the Mysterious Void Mansion, but when he was Augustine’s age, he was only a Martial Artist in the late stage of the Great Saint Realm.

There’s always a fear of comparison; his talent wasn’t bad, but in comparison to Augustine, in the eyes of others, it counted for nothing!

The most crucial thing was they both had a Protector father.

In summary, this time, he had embarrassed his father.

"Father!"

Amidst Atlas Dunn’s shame and anger at the circulating opinions, a familiar voice reached him, causing his expression to change dramatically in an instant.

His face, which was previously clouded as if by dark shadows, suddenly brightened as if the sun came out, dispelling all the gloom.

It was because he recognized the voice’s owner, his son, Tommy Dunn, who had gone missing for nearly two years!

Initially, after the life-and-death battle between Wyatt Barnes and Quentin Dunn in the Life and Death Chamber of the Heavenly Palace, he never saw his son again.

However, since his son’s "Soul Bead" remained intact, he wasn’t worried.

"Hmph! Where have you been for the past two years? I almost thought you forgot about having me as your father."

When Tommy Dunn walked in, Atlas Dunn deliberately put on a stern face and snorted coldly.

He appeared serious, but upon careful observation, one could notice a hint of delight deep in Atlas Dunn’s eyes, showing the joy at his son’s return.

"Father, I just found Wyatt Barnes’s strength impressive at that time, so I left the Mysterious Void Mansion somewhat frustrated and wandered around... and during my travels, I’ve gained quite a bit."

Tommy Dunn said with a smile.

"Gained quite a bit? Hmph! Did you make a bunch of disreputable friends outside again?"

Atlas Dunn continued with a stern face, sneering.

"Father, I didn’t make any friends this time... however, in the eastern regions, I discovered a place that seems to be a relic left by someone who surpassed the Heavenly Saint Realm!"

Saying this, Tommy Dunn looked excited.

A relic supposedly left by someone who surpassed the Heavenly Saint Realm?

Upon hearing Tommy Dunn’s words, Atlas Dunn could no longer maintain his seriousness and asked in shock, "Are you sure it’s a relic left by someone who surpassed the Heavenly Saint Realm?"

"Yes."

Tommy Dunn nodded and divulged a prepared statement, "According to the message left by the powerful one who left that Divine Ability relic, he is indeed someone who surpassed the Heavenly Saint Realm... Moreover, in his era, the Martial Dao Sacred Land had not yet been divided into ’Upper Domain’ and ’Lower Domain’."

When Tommy Dunn mentioned this, Atlas Dunn’s breathing became rapid.

An era when the Martial Dao Sacred Land had not yet been divided into Upper Domain and Lower Domain—that’s the ancient era!

And the relics left by the powerful ones of that era are referred to as ’ancient relics’.

There are many legends about ancient relics in the history of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land:

Whoever obtains an ancient relic inevitably becomes an exceptional powerhouse in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Even later, upon reaching the Upper Domain, they carve out their own territory with their power!

And now, he learns that his son has encountered an ancient relic!

"Ancient relics generally come with a strong inheritance... did the ancient relic you encountered have an inheritance?"

Atlas Dunn asked breathlessly.

"It did!"

Almost the instant Atlas Dunn’s words fell, Tommy Dunn nodded, "The inheritance within that ancient relic is now mine."

Atlas Dunn’s eyes shone; his son has received the inheritance of an ancient relic?

For a moment, Atlas Dunn’s breathing became rapid.

Meanwhile, Tommy Dunn sighed and continued, "Unfortunately, after I obtained the inheritance inside, that ancient relic collapsed... I initially planned to let father and grandfather also try to see if they could gain the inheritance, but now it seems there’s no chance."

"Silly child!"

Hearing Tommy Dunn’s words full of filial piety, Atlas Dunn was naturally very pleased, "Inheritances from ancient relics are generally passed down singly, which is what makes them valuable! Your ability to obtain the inheritance only brings joy to both me and your grandfather."

"What kind of inheritance did you receive?"

Atlas Dunn asked again.

"It’s a Demon Cultivator’s inheritance... to be precise, it’s the inheritance of the Beast Demon."

Tommy Dunn replied.

Beast Demon!

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, besides humans, Sacred Beasts can also cultivate demons.

Human Demon Cultivators are called ’Human Monsters’.

Sacred Beast Demon Cultivators are called ’Beast Demons’.

"Beast Demon inheritance?"

Atlas Dunn’s eyes shone again, "Inheritances of Demon Cultivators are generally among the best in ancient inheritances... Have you undergone any changes since gaining the inheritance?"

Almost the instant Atlas Dunn’s words fell, a vast, overwhelming, and sinister aura suddenly emerged from Tommy Dunn, causing the surrounding temperature to seem to drop a few degrees.

"Hu-Human Saint Realm?!"

And upon sensing this aura, Atlas Dunn was startled, eyes widening with horror and disbelief.

Although he knew that the ancient Beast Demon inheritance was extraordinary, he hadn’t expected it to be this exaggerated!

Turning a martial artist who was only in the mid-Middle Saint Realm just over a year ago, to suddenly cross into the Great Saint Realm and break through to the ’Human Saint Realm’ in less than two years!

However, Atlas Dunn could only dream that his son was deceiving him!

What ancient Beast Demon inheritance, all of that is fake!

Devouring Dark_Demon Art, that’s what’s real!
