Chapter 6739: Heavenly Sacred Master

“The founder of the Heavenly Sacred Temple?” Chu Feng was surprised.

“Back in the Immemorial Era, people called him Heavenly Sacred Master,” the red lightning beast replied.

“He sounds formidable,” Chu Feng remarked.

“That’s just the tip of the iceberg. He is the creator of the Martial Manifestation Formation, Immemorial Cosmos Map, Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes, and Massacre Forbidden Art,” the red lightning beast revealed gleefully.

“Elder, your master created the Heavenly Lightning Nine Slashes? No wonder you said that... Hold on, Immemorial Cosmos Map? Massacre Forbidden Art? Aren’t those skills I have gotten before?”

Chu Feng had obtained the Immemorial Cosmos Map in the Ancient Era’s Spirit Domain, but he still didn’t know what it was about. The Ox-nosed Old Daoist took it away, claiming that it was a show of filial piety from Chu Feng, and that he would impart it to Chu Feng after grasping it.

As for Massacre Forbidden Art, Chu Feng had obtained its scroll from the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect. It was a bizarre scroll that would throb along with his heartbeat as if it had a life of its own. It was now hanging inside his World Spirit Space.

According to the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect’s monstrous old man, he would be close to being unrivaled in the world of cultivation if he were to master it. Unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to open and read the Massacre Forbidden Art, let alone practice it.

“Yes, you have obtained them,” the red lightning beast replied.

“Elder, may I know what their uses are?” Chu Feng asked excitedly.

Putting aside the Immemorial Cosmos Map, which had been taken away by his master, the Massacre Forbidden Art was sitting in his World Spirit Space right now. Since it was created by the lightning beasts’ master, surely they must know how to practice it.

“The Immemorial Cosmos Map is the ultimate treasure coveted by all world spiritists in the world, for it contains the deepest secrets of world spiritist techniques. Qin Jiu’s Pulse Searching Method, Hundred Methods of Gu Control, and God’s Contract are derived from the Immemorial Cosmos Map,” the red lightning beast said.

Chu Feng’s eyes gleamed in excitement. No wonder the Ox-nosed Old Daoist wanted the Immemorial Cosmos Map!

“The Immemorial Cosmos Map doesn’t contain any formation; it provides insights to broaden the perspectives of world spiritists, so that they can grow.

“In contrast, the Massacre Forbidden Art is a formation created by my master. It is the world’s strongest slaughter formation. Similar to secret skills, it is sentient, but it can be both practiced and inherited,” the red lightning beast said.

“Then why am I unable to practice it?” Chu Feng asked.

“The Massacre Forbidden Art is too powerful. Those who aren’t strong enough will suffer a backlash, potentially corrupting their minds. Your mental resilience barely hits the mark, but I’m guessing that the Massacre Forbidden Art wants you to further build up your foundation to lower the risk of practicing it. It’ll naturally open up once you’re ready,” the red lightning beast replied.

“I see. That explains it.” Chu Feng’s mind was put at ease. It was fine as long as he would eventually get to learn it. Good things were worth waiting for.

Chu Feng continued asking, “Elder, what kind of means is the Martial Manifestation Formation?”

He suspected that was the key to grasping martial formations.

“The Martial Manifestation Formation is a top-notch formation on par with spirit power formations. It differs from world spiritist techniques, but it has its strengths. It is created for people who lack talent in world spiritist techniques, but the requirements to learn it are harsher than learning world spiritist techniques. That martial power formation your father left inside you is a Martial Manifestation Formation,” the red lightning beast replied.

“Did my father obtain the Martial Manifestation Formation?” Chu Feng asked.

“You’d have to ask him. I can only say that your father is a person of great luck,” the red lightning beast replied.

“No wonder.” Chu Feng was certain that his father had obtained the Martial Manifestation Formation even though the red lightning beast refused to confirm the matter.

“Chu Feng, I am sharing all this information with you to make you understand something. There are no true gods in this world. Those who are sufficiently strong are thought to be gods by the masses. Even Martial Exalted level cultivators are viewed as gods in Lower Realms. You are qualified to be crowned as a god in the eight galaxies.

“There are many remarkable figures in the Ancient Era and the Immemorial Era, but only my master, the Heavenly Sacred Master, is worthy of being crowned a god. It’s not just about his incomparable strength but his principles as well. He founded the Heavenly Sacred Temple and upheld order in the world of cultivation. He imparted the foundation of martial cultivation and world spiritist techniques to the world, so that everyone would have a chance to cultivate.

“I believe that someone would have eventually grasped martial cultivation and world spiritist techniques even if not for my master, but the world of cultivation would have never prospered so quickly. If he were still around, the world of cultivation wouldn’t have landed in its current state. It would have been a hundred or a thousand times more prosperous now,” the red lightning beast said with a sorrowful tone.

“Has he passed away?” Chu Feng asked.

“There had been a calamity in the final years of the Immemorial Era. My master sacrificed himself to stop the calamity,” the red lightning beast replied.

“A calamity? What kind of calamity was it?” Chu Feng asked.

The red lightning beast shook his head.

The blue lightning beast remarked, “Something has happened in the final years of the Ancient Era as well. I wonder if it’s the same calamity. We had hibernated for a long time after the Ancient Era, and when we woke up, we realized that our memories were impaired. We can’t remember most things about the calamity or the incidents in the final years of the Ancient Era. It’s not that we don’t want to tell you about the calamity, but we also don’t know ourselves.”

“How did that happen?” Chu Feng was intrigued. This was not his first time hearing about this. Most people didn’t remember what happened in the final years of the Ancient Era, but he didn’t think this would affect the lightning beasts as well.

“So what happened in the Immemorial Era might have been the same as what happened in the Ancient Era. If so, there might be a similar calamity in the present era as well,” Chu Feng stated.

“It’s very possible, and I don’t think we are far from that anymore,” the blue lightning beast said.

Chu Feng’s heart grew heavy. He couldn’t imagine how many people would die in this calamity. The current him didn’t have the strength to protect his friends and family from it.

“Chu Feng, we believe that you have the greatest chance of stopping the calamity if it truly strikes,” the red and blue lightning beasts spoke at the same time.

“Me?” Chu Feng was surprised.

While he had always been confident in his talent, this was a calamity concerning the entire world of cultivation. He couldn’t help but falter a little.

“That’s right. You’re very similar to our master. He also possessed Imperial God-tier bloodline.” The two lightning beasts looked at Chu Feng intently.

“Could I be the reincarnation of your master?” Chu Feng asked.

“Hahaha!” The two lightning beasts laughed. “No. He is he, and you are you.”
