Old man

Lin Hai entered the temple. Inside was only a wooden table and two chairs, the first chair was empty and fit Lin Hai's size as if it was made for him.

On the second chair was a closed-eyed and burly old man. Although he was old, he looked like a young emperor capable of crushing the seven heavens and seven worlds with a single blow from him. Even the strongest cultivators of the current era gathered together to kill them with a simple flick of his hand. .

A dangerous aura was emitting from him, similar to the halo that enveloped the outside of the temple, it was clear that he was the person protecting this temple or perhaps he was also the creator of it.

"Sit." The old man suddenly opened his closed eyes and said slowly.

"Yes… yes sir." Lin Hai quickly sat down on the chair, unwilling to anger that monster in front of him, he was sure that if he did something wrong, he would be transformed into a bloody mist in a split second due to his tiny strength compared to this old man.

"Good, now do you know why I brought you here instead of killing you outside?" said the old man.

"No, my little brain can't figure out what your greatness is thinking," Lin Hai replied submissively.

"Hmph, of course you won't know, even I don't know what the master is thinking," said the old man.

"Your master? Do you mind, sir, if I ask you what do you mean by your master, from what I see now? You look closer to a god. You can rule the entire world, so how do you have a master when you are so powerful?" Lin Hai laughed bitterly and said.

Although he couldn't tell what level of cultivation this old man had in front of him, his intuition told him that this old man could kill everyone with a single look.

"Stop, you will know who the master is in time so there is no need to rush," answered the old man, and then added, "Also, the master is not my teacher, I am just his servant."

"Kha... servant? You mean that your greatness is someone else's servant!!!!!! Lin Hai said in astonishment.

Just think with me, this old man was a heaven-defying existence capable of doing whatever he wanted without the presence of any opposition, if this existence was a servant of another person, wouldn't that mean that the other person was a true immortal who had lived for billions of years? Number one in the universe?God?.

"Let go of this. Anyway, you wouldn't be able to imagine the master's greatness. I brought you here by order of him to train you a little so that you would be ready to receive guidance from him personally," said the old man flatly.

"Cultivation? What am I going to train for, and also why exactly me?" Lin Hai asked exactly why he was chosen, after all, there were millions of geniuses far better than him in the Blue Wind Kingdom, so why exactly him??

"Don't think too high of yourself, boy. You're neither a genius nor a heavenly child. You don't have legendary talents or a good thing. You're even below average. It's just that there isn't much time left, so the Master has bet everything he has on you. You must live up to his expectations or die." Just waiting for you, and also don't ask, you'll know everything when you meet Master," the old man said coldly.

"H...well, how much do you want, sir." Lin Hai accepted the absurd situation he was in right now, not wanting to lose his head out of curiosity.

"Then if you're done, introduce yourself, and then we'll start training," said the old man.

"Okay, sir." Lin Hai took a deep breath, then began introducing himself, his personal life, and everything he had been through since his birth until this moment.

"My full name is Lin Hai and I am 20 years old. I am a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, a third-rate sect that is the closest one to the Bone Abyss. I was born in a city within the Blue Wind Kingdom and…"

"Well well boy I told you to tell me your name, your age and which sect you belong to, I didn't tell you your damn life story!" the old man shouted angrily.

"Sorry, sir, please don't get angry." Lin Hai said fearfully, he was afraid that this old monster would kill him out of anger.

"Hmph, at least there is something a little sexy about you, for example you are a disciple of the sect that idiot founded, remind me of his name," the old man said with a sly smile on his face.

"Hm, I don't know about the idiot you mean, but as for the founder of our sect, he is the great ancestor of the Sword Emperor." Lin Hai said with pride and reverence, after all, the Sword Emperor was the founder of his sect, so naturally Lin Hai considered him as his idol.

"Hahahaha yeah yeah Sword Emperor is the idiot I'm talking about here, he thought himself invincible once he became a Founding Emperor and wanted to sweep his way through my own abyss, but he overestimated himself to end up dead like the other ants who tried before him, hehehe The old man laughed savagely and said.

"What… what the hell are you saying, how would our great ancestor die here, our ancestor is an invincible emperor capable of obliterating the heavens and earth, how would he die without a grave, you are just kidding me right sir????" Lin Hai staggered back, doubt evident on his expression.

"I'm not kidding kid, I killed him right here in this place, well he was a little strong because he was able to block a move from me but the second move killed him if I remember well hahaha" said the old man with complete disdain.

"You killed a Founding Emperor with two moves???? Lin Hai's mind stopped working at this moment, then he added, "Wait, wait, is that why my master warned me not to approach the abyss??? Is this why he did not want to talk about our predecessor??? At this moment, Lin Hai instinctively fell to the ground blankly.

Now his suspicions are confirmed, the founding emperor is his idol?? What is this nonsense!! That old monster in front of him killed one with two moves, "Damn it, so what have I been striving for my whole life for, become a sect master? become a founding emperor?"

Lin Hai's martial heart was completely shattered now, this was the most dangerous thing that could happen to a cultivator, if a cultivator's martial heart was shattered, he would never be able to advance, he would be forever stuck at the same level.

Unless there is something that inspires him to return to the right path or I hope there is something that will enable him to go beyond his previous goal.

"Hmmm, you really are weak in terms of everything kid, you look more like a piece of trash than a cultivator hahahahaha" The old man laughed at Lin Hai and said scornfully, then added on.

"But even a piece of rubbish will become something miraculous in the master's hands," said the old man with a sly smile.
