On one hand, there is a path with higher talent potential, and there is also a mid-level martial emperor willing to accept him as a disciple. On the other hand, he relies on himself to work hard to explore and practice. Any practitioner would know how to choose. But Wan Dong in front of him chose the difficult path. Yang Qi was also very curious about Wan Dong's thoughts.
After hearing Yang Qi's words, Wan Dong fell silent. After a moment, he looked at Yang Qi and asked, "Senior, do you know what kind of practitioners live in the Blood Soul Sea?"
"Um?"
Yang Qi was startled. He didn't expect Wan Dong to ask such a question, but he still said, "As far as I know, the cultivators living in the Blood Soul Sea are generally those who were forced to flee into the Blood Soul Sea. Some of these cultivators are evil demons, and some have offended some powerful enemies outside."
“What the senior said is right. Most of the practitioners in the Blood Soul Sea have this origin. In addition, due to the environment of the Blood Soul Sea, it is rare to see practitioners at the Martial King level in the Blood Soul Sea.” Wan Dong nodded slightly.
Those at the Martial King level can venture into the endless universe, but the environment of the Blood Soul Sea is special, and ordinary Martial Kings simply don't dare to come here. Therefore, there are not many Martial Kings in the Blood Soul Sea, and most of them are practitioners above the Martial Emperor level.
"However, the Blood Soul Sea has existed for countless years. Over the long years, some practitioners who escaped into the Blood Soul Sea have also taken root in the Blood Soul Sea." Wan Dong paused here before continuing, "Although it is very difficult for practitioners above the Martial King Realm to give birth to offspring, there is still hope after all, so there are still some practitioners who were born and raised in the Blood Soul Sea."
Yang Qi nodded secretly, not feeling the slightest bit surprised by this. After all, let alone cultivators above the Martial King realm, even cultivators above the Martial Emperor realm could give birth to offspring, but the probability would be relatively smaller.
“I am actually a native Blood Soul Sea practitioner.” Wan Dong said in a deep voice.
When Wan Dong mentioned that the Blood Soul Sea was home to living creatures, Yang Qi had already guessed this. Now, after hearing Wan Dong admit it himself, he couldn't help but say, "You can't choose your birth environment."
“I really can’t choose where I was born.”
Wan Dong gave a bitter smile and continued, "But after I was born, I never saw my parents, and I don't even know whether they are alive or dead."
Um
Hearing this, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Wandong was an orphan since birth. You know, the more powerful the creature, the higher the talent potential of its offspring.
The cultivators who can live in the Blood Soul Sea are generally at the Martial Emperor level, which means that Wandong's parents are most likely at the Martial Emperor level. Even if they are not at the Martial Emperor level, they are definitely at the Martial King level. Therefore, even if Wandong is just born, his strength will not be weak, and he may even have some impressions of what happened after he was born. However, Wandong said that he had never seen his parents, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Yang Qi looked at Wan Dong, frowned slightly and said, "You really have never seen your parents?"
"I have lived in Blood Sea City since I can remember." Wan Dong gave a bitter smile and continued, "Senior Wu Xin once said that part of my memory after I was born was erased."
It is true!
There was a gleam of light in Yang Qi's eyes. After Wandong said that he had never seen his parents, he guessed that some of Wandong's memories after birth had been erased, otherwise it would be impossible for Wandong to have no impression of his parents at all.
"Being able to erase part of your memory without affecting you is something that even an ordinary Martial Emperor cannot do." Yang Qi looked at Wan Dong and said.
Erasing memories involves the soul. If one does not have a certain level of attainment in the soul, it is absolutely impossible to do it easily without damaging the practitioner's soul.
"Senior Wu Xin said the same thing after he examined me, but he helped me erase that memory, probably to protect me." Wan Dong said calmly.
Hearing this, Yang Qi nodded secretly. If someone could do this easily, not to mention Wan Dong who was just born, even the current Wan Dong would not be his opponent. If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be easy, and there was no need to do so many things.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi's eyes could not help but fall on Wan Dong, and then he slowly said, "You are unwilling to give up the sword, is it related to the erased memory?"
Memories can be erased, and naturally they can be restored, but destruction is easier than construction. If you want to restore erased memories, the soul's attainments are naturally higher.
If someone helped Wandong recover his memory, the memory would involve things related to kendo. It is understandable that Wandong insisted on following the path of kendo.
"It's related, but also unrelated." Wan Dong said with a wry smile.
Um
Hearing this, Yang Qi looked at Wan Dong with some confusion. If it is related, then how can it be unrelated
"Because I insisted on following the path of swordsmanship before I found out that my memory had been erased, and until now, my erased memory has not been restored." Wan Dong smiled bitterly and immediately told him what had happened.
Wan Dong has lived in Xuehai City since he could remember. However, at that time, he was not even at the Martial King level, but only at the Martial Honor level. He worked hard at the bottom of Xuehai City and reached the Martial King level step by step. When he was at the Martial King level, Wan Dong met his first master, a practitioner who followed the path of swordsmanship.
The reason why Wandong insisted on following the path of swordsmanship was because he was influenced by that person. That person taught Wandong practitioners until he reached the peak of Martial King. Finally, he left behind a long sword and disappeared mysteriously!
Looking at the long sword in his hand, Wan Dong slowly said, "After my master left, he left this long sword behind and told me that as long as I can understand the secret of the long sword, I can recover my erased memories."
I see!
After listening to Wan Dong's narration, Yang Qi also understood why Wan Dong was so obsessed with kendo. It was not just because of how passionate he was about kendo, but more importantly, he wanted to comprehend the sword in his hand and recover his erased memories.
Yang Qi thought for a moment, then looked at Wan Dong and said, "Your master should have some relationship with your parents, and may even be the one who brought you to Blood Sea City."
Wan Dong has lived in Xuehai City since he could remember. What about before that? If he had always lived in Xuehai City, there was no need to erase this memory. The only explanation is that Wan Dong's parents encountered some danger and left Wan Dong in Xuehai City. The erased memory was actually to prevent Wan Dong from knowing his identity and thus attracting enemies!
"Senior Wu Xin also guessed the same. Comprehending the secret of this sword is my only way to restore my memory at present." Wan Dong sighed softly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi's eyes fixed, and he immediately said in a deep voice, "That may not be the case!" (To be continued)
