Chapter 1266: Chapter 1256: The Things Father Left Him The Black Wooden Box burst forth with a dazzling light. Immediately, the box slowly began to open on both sides. Then, the contents inside were revealed. Within the Black Wooden Box, three items lay quietly. A letter! A sheepskin scroll! A Bodhi Seed! Seeing these three items, the Senior Sovereign Witch was the first one to speak, "That is a Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed, which will be of tremendous help to you." "A Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed? Could it be a Semi Medicine King?" Lin Dong hurriedly asked. According to his understanding, thousand-year medicinal materials belong to the category of Semi Medicine Kings. And if it’s over three thousand years, then it is a Real Medicine King. However, as soon as Lin Dong spoke, the Senior Sovereign Witch rolled his eyes and said, "A Semi Medicine King is nowhere near this Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed." "This item is far more precious than a Semi Medicine King." "Let’s put it this way, ordinary Medicine Kings can’t compare to it either. This is the key to whether you can step into the Heavenly Realm as a Martial Artist." "A Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed is a sacred object of the Buddhist Clan, the fruit of the Bodhi Tree. Have you heard the story of the Buddha’s enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree?" Lin Dong nodded, "Of course, I have heard it." "Both the Bodhi Tree and the Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed possess the ability to enlighten one on the Martial Way. Like Earth Realm martial artists breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, one must attain Enlightenment." "If one cannot achieve Enlightenment, they are doomed to never enter the Heavenly Realm. Enlightening is extremely difficult, and some who are gifted Martial Artists may be thwarted by their inability to attain it, thus spending their lives stuck as Earth Realm martial artists..." "But if you consume a Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed, then you can instantly understand the Martial Way. There is absolutely no need to worry about Enlightenment." "To an Earth Realm martial artist, this item is a supreme treasure! Something countless Earth Realm martial artists would desperately desire to possess." Hearing this, even Lin Dong couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath. He was well aware of how difficult it was to become a Heavenly Realm martial artist in this Age of Dharma End. Take King Kunlun, for example, such a monstrous figure, who had also been stuck at the pinnacle of Earth Realm martial artists for many years. Thinking about it now, it was probably due to the lack of Enlightenment, which prevented stepping into the Heavenly Realm! "This item is too against the heavens. According to Senior Sovereign Witch, doesn’t that mean that any Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster who consumes this Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed could instantly understand the Martial Way and step into the Heavenly Realm?" Lin Dong couldn’t refrain from asking. The Senior Sovereign Witch nodded: "That’s roughly the idea. Consuming a Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed, it is like securing a Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster an assured entry into the Heavenly Realm." "Your father was truly defiant of the heavens, to actually leave such an important item for you. Even Heavenly Realm martial artists would fight tooth and nail for it." "You must absolutely never expose it, or it will surely attract a host of Heavenly Realm martial artists to pursue and kill you..." The Senior Sovereign Witch earnestly admonished Lin Dong. Although Heavenly Realm martial artists no longer needed the item. They certainly have younger generations. If they were to learn that Lin Dong had a Thousand-Year Bodhi Seed, they would definitely steal it to keep for their descendants. As long as their descendants could cultivate to the peak of the Ninth Stage Grandmaster, they could create another Heavenly Realm martial artist. Who wouldn’t be willing to do that? Lin Dong nodded solemnly, "Hmm, with such importance, I will naturally not expose it." He carefully stored it away. Of course, he currently had no use for it. Because at the moment, Lin Dong was not yet at the peak of the Ninth Stage Grandmaster. Only as a Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster can one achieve enlightenment and step into the Heavenly Realm after taking it. He was merely a Seventh Stage Grandmaster, still far from it. At the moment, after safely putting away the Thousand Year Bodhi Seed, he turned to look at the second item. That letter! On the cover of the letter, it was handwritten by Lin Zhan Tian himself, "For my son Lin Dong to open," with ten large characters. That was his father’s handwriting! As Lin Dong was opening the letter, his hands were trembling. He was eager to know if there were any clues about his father in the letter. To know what his father had written to him. After opening the envelope, Lin Dong began to read. "My son, by the time you receive what I have left for you, you must have stepped into the Martial Arts World and possess a certain level of strength and renown." "You are the son of your mother and me, inheriting our most perfect bloodline. Your talent in the Martial Way, talent in the medicinal field, and all your gifts should indeed surpass those of your forebearers." "A long time ago, a Heavenly Master prophesied that you were the real ’Chosen One’... but alas, you were destined to face many disasters and hardships." "Many calamities lie in your path; our separation is one such calamity written in your destiny. Forgive your father for not being able to protect you and your mother, for not allowing you to grow up in a healthy family like an ordinary person." "Regrettably, as a father, I have never fed you a meal when you were a child, never bathed you, never changed your diapers, never taken you to school, never lulled you to sleep... I haven’t even heard you call me ’Dad’." "But Dad believes in you, that even without me, you will still grow to be a real man." "You will make many friends, you will meet the person you love, and like a sapling, you will grow into a towering tree that protects everyone..." "On the road to growth, you will encounter much pain and heartache. The cold laughter and mockery from others, the ridicule and disapproval, you will also see the darkness of this world, facing the injustices of society... But you must persevere in being yourself, and you must have a dream..." "Dad really really wants to be by your side all the time, but Dad cannot, because Dad has a very very important task to do." "If you wish to find me, then you should strive to cultivate to the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible. Once you reach the Heavenly Realm, your spirit and soul will be able to enter the Dragon Ring. Inside the Dragon Ring, I have left clues for you. You can follow those clues to find me..." "Lastly, I look forward to the day I see you, looking forward to the day our family reunites..." After reading the letter, Lin Dong felt as if something was stuck in his chest. All this time, he thought that his father had not come to see him because he didn’t love him. But now, it seemed his father had his compelling reasons. From this letter, it appeared that his father loved him very much. But there was something that he had to do. Yet, what was it? Why had it taken so many years? And where was he now? Also, he left clues for him in the Dragon Ring? What were those clues? At this moment, Lin Dong quickly contacted the Senior Sovereign Witch with his spiritual power. "Senior Sovereign Witch, Senior Sovereign Witch, are you there in the Dragon Ring?" The Sovereign Witch, silent and rolling her eyes, said, "Of course, I’m here. Where else would I be? On your head?" Lin Dong felt awkward and touched his nose, hurrying to converse with her. "Senior Sovereign Witch, my father’s letter says that there are clues he left for me inside the Dragon Ring!" "Following those clues, I can find him. Can you help me see what clues he left inside the Dragon Ring?" After hearing this, the Sovereign Witch remained silent for a long time. "Senior Sovereign Witch, why aren’t you speaking? Please tell me, what clues did my father leave inside the Dragon Ring?" He was eager to know the whereabouts of his father.
