Chapter 6408: Chosen “Do you know why I betrayed Trinity, Young Noble?” She asked. “I don’t know.” He said before scanning her: “Because of the luosha physique?” “You figured out with just a glance, Young Noble. Yes, disaster started because of it.” She said. “Hmm, this physique should only be useful for you.” He slightly frowned and said: “Ah, the trinity physique.” “Yes, our ancestors were indeed looking to understand this physique.” She smiled bitterly. “A tale as old as time. However, they shouldn’t have been so despicable.” He said. “The three ancestors have lived for a long time, even addressing Moshi as a brother. However, their dao stagnated.” She elaborated. She was referring to the entity known as Trinity comprising of a triplet - Immortal Saint, Devil Saint, and Human Saint. They once stood shoulder to shoulder with Moshi but the latter became an immortal while they were stuck in the eternal stage of the primal realm. Nevertheless, the triplets were more than just the addition of their cultivation when fighting together. Because of this, they became the top masters after the downfall of Seventy-two Origin Ancestor. “They picked you.” He said. “Yes, and since they were primal ancestors, my cultivation was not enough. I needed to be a heaven-slayer first.” She elaborated. “Three old men wanting to find a female disciple as their cauldron, how vulgar and disgusting.” He chuckled. “They spoke of this and wanted to help me reach the right realm.” She said with a dejected expression. “You refused.” He understood. “That was easier said than done but as long as I didn’t break through, they couldn’t do anything. Thus, I was sent down to Devil Cult and my junior brother was in charge of watching me.” She said. Rumor has it that she killed her junior brother out of jealousy since he was chosen to stay in Trinity while she was pushed out to Devil Cult. None knew the story behind it all. This wasn’t uncommon during the selection process. Many emperors didn’t accept the system such as Whale Ancestor and Ocean-gaze Ancestor. Whale Ancestor didn’t wish to leave his home so he left entirely, eventually joining Desolate Frontier. He was an essence-stage primal ancestor then so no one could stop him. There were stages to the primal realm - obtaining a primal anima, earth, heaven, unequaled, essence, and eternal. After that would be the extinguish path to become a supreme overlord. Ocean-gaze also didn’t accept the selection and left. Nevertheless, he still had ties to Trinity. As for Luosha Devil Emperor, she didn’t wish to become a yin cauldron for the triplets. Their dao stagnated for a long time so they thought about using a cauldron to contain their primal anima. An ordinary cultivator couldn’t withstand their anima so they started grooming qualified candidates. Luosha was the best one at the heavenreach stage. Moreover, her luosha physique allowed her to contain a primal anima. With that, they would be able to break through. Ultimately, she killed her junior brother who tried to stop her before fleeing into Isles of Evil. “I cultivated my whole life only to become someone else’s cauldron?” She sighed. “You escaped a tiger only to find a wolf.” He said. “Yes, Young Noble. Heavenly Crane Master also searched for a yin cauldron, hence his being obliterated by Staff Ancestor. He still wants to try again but can’t leave Immortal-seek Peak.” She said. “You’re relying on him to deal with Trinity as well.” He smiled. “I have a hiding place here but it’s not the best strategy. When the triples come themselves, they will be able to find me, it’s only a matter of time once I finish three cycles.” She said. “When cultivators stagnate, they’ll resort to consumption or cauldron cultivation. Human nature can sometimes be predictable.” He shook his head. “We’re always food to someone, no different from mortals.” She sighed. “This is not a reason to fall to the darkness.” He said: “It wasn’t easy to get to this level so you should cherish it.” “Can I still escape my fate, Young Noble?” She stared at him. “Why not?” He smiled. “If I make it through the three cycles or even higher, I still can’t defeat Trinity.” She said. “You aren’t aware of the treasure in your possession.” He responded. “Treasure?” She took a second before taking out the strand of light: “This?” “Of course, it has been protecting you all this time. Do you know what it is?” He asked. “A light left behind by you, right?” She said with uncertainty. “It picked you for a reason.” He said sentimentally.
