Chapter 29 (1/2)
Old Huo had his old story.
An Zheng sat next to the Nine Stars dais and listened to Old Huo’s story about Martial Huo.
– “I had focused on weapon refining my entire life. I refined many precious weapons which caused the people in the underworld to have desired them, but I'm still a failure, I was not able to have changed my son into a precious one. I had refined weapons for more than half of my life, but I had failed in refining my son. This was not his fault but mine own because I hadn't taught him well. When being a child, he practiced and relied only on himself. Whenever he came to find me, I was always busy, so I had let him play on his own…”
Old Huo gulped a little wine and coughed:
– “Therefore, G.o.d was fair. Because he felt that I did not care about my son, he had taken my son away from me.”
An Zheng slapped Old Huo’s shoulder:
– “Don’t you want to take revenge?”
Old Huo shook his head:
– “Revenge? I didn't take revenge on his enemy, Mu ChangYan, but me. Mu ChangYan could have beaten Martial Huo to being severely injured but didn’t kill him. After that, Martial Huo returned. However, because he wanted to regain his face, he forced himself by using the Ming Emperor’s spiritual pillet.”
An Zheng's face turned pale because the Ming Emperor’s spiritual pillet was the most precious treasure of the f.u.xi Meditation Sect. It was said to have matchless effects, and was the only pillet which the leader of Meditation Sect had used when he revived. Using the Ming Emperor’s spiritual pillet would have definitely facilitated revivals. Moreover, the new Ming Emperor could have had perfectly inherited all the powers of the former Ming Emperor. This item had been the lost secret of Meditation Sect, but unexpectedly, Old Huo also had one.
– “Therefore, it was also me who had harmed my son.”
Old Huo gulped a little wine again:
– “I stored this spiritual pill so that I could last my life like that Repugnant seal. Martial Huo was aggressive, so I knew that he would have suffered a loss by himself sooner or later. It had taken me thirty-six years to create the Repugnant seal by mixing six Purple level treasures together. Later on, I again spent ten years fixing the Demon-Quelling Pestle for the Ming Emperor Meditation Sect, so the Ming Emperor gifted me one spiritual pill. I felt that my son would not have had to have worried about his life with the Repugnant seal and the Ming Emperor’s spiritual pillet.
– However, his injury had been too severe, and he did not know how to use it. Therefore, he swallowed Ming Emperor’s spiritual pillet directly. As a result, his body was not able to have withstood the power of the Ming Emperor’s spiritual pillet and was blown up…”
Old Huo looked at An Zheng and smiled with pain:
– “I have not talked to anyone for years. Therefore, I have talked to you quite much today. Please don’t mind, Sect Head.”
An Zheng shook his head:
– “Senior, you should not address me like that. I just played a joke with those children.”
– “No.”
Old Huo said:
– “The TianQi Martial School had been built up by my son, but he was not able to have kept this school. Therefore, when you came here, which could be seen as you were in charge of this duty. Last time when you said that you had wanted to change the name of the TianQi Martial School into the TianQi Sect so that this school could develop… maybe you didn’t know what I had felt when I had heard those words of yours. Martial Huo is no longer in this world, and I did not leave because this was Martial Huo’s desire.
– Therefore, you must be the Sect Head of this place.”
Old Huo took out a key from his chest and gave it to An Zheng:
– “In this Nine Stars dais is a small world. This key is used to open up into that world. Do you know why I had spent thirty-six years to have created the Repugnant seal? Because its effect was really repugnant. The Repugnant seal does not care about time. Once you come into the Repugnant seal to practice, the time inside of it will be frozen. If you stay there one year, then it would have been only today when you had come out. If you had stayed there for three years, then it would have only been three days from today when you have come out.”
An Zheng’s heart beat strongly:
– “It’s really repugnant.”
Old Huo said:
– “Due to its repugnance, it steals the time of G.o.d. However, G.o.d has his own path. If you are seen by his path, this item may be lost from your hands. Therefore, I had used the meteorite to create the Nine Stars dais in order to have covered and hide the Repugnant seal inside of it. However, I have never used it, so I don’t know if G.o.d will punish you for using it. If you want to use this, you must think carefully.”
An Zheng nodded:
– “Thank you, Senior!”
Old Huo shook his head:
– “I don’t have anything left. These items cannot go with me when I die. I would rather give this to the one who is more suitable with it than to the underworld outside so that it will have created a ma.s.sacre. You are a good child. Although my cultivation base is not very strong, I have more than a hundred years of experience. Therefore, I can evaluate a person's true nature. Handing this to you, I feel safer in doing so, than to the other people outside.”
He weakly stood up:
– “In this Repugnant seal, there is another ‘Me’ inside. In the future, if I die, and you have something to ask, you can ask ‘Me’.”
An Zheng stood up. He did not know what to say for a while.
Old Huo waved his hand to tell An Zheng not to care about it:
– “There are good and bad people, and there are also good and bad situations. In the Repugnant seal, there is a small world, so the good or bad are based on your choices. The Illusory Perennial Domicile is also a small world which is a minimized world of the great world. Therefore, I hope that your heart will not be affected by the human world. If you are affected, my Repugnant seal will be affected as well. Black or white is based on your choice.”
Old Huo could not have had recognized An Zheng's background not because that Old Huo’s cultivation base was not as good as Mu ChangYan's. Mu ChangYan could have guessed that An Zheng had revived because An Zheng had written the guildelines for Xiao QiDao. When Ye Aunty had met An Zheng for the first time, she could also feel that An Zheng was a special child. She could not see the differences of An Zheng. This world had no fiery golden eyes [1] . No matter how powerful a person was, he could not have seen the spirit inside of a person.
An Zheng bowed down to look at the key in his hand. He felt as if he was in a dream.
Old Huo was walking, smiling and saying:
– “Why don’t you go practice? With your weak body, if you want to succeed, you must take more time in doing so.”
An Zheng suddenly knelt down and bowed to Old Huo respectfully.

Old Huo stopped and said:
– “I am not a man of the sect. If I recruit a disciple, I will only recruit one who could have helped me in refining weapons. You don’t need to bow down to me. It’s all due to your good luck.”
An Zheng said:
– “Your great deed, Senior, the younger generations doest not now dare to bow.”
Old Huo gulped a little wine:
