"Do you see the many soul imprints around this residual pool?"
Ye Wuque immediately walked forward and immediately found that there were many residual fluctuations of soul imprints densely packed around the residual pool, each of which was completely different, and each seemed to represent a living being.
"The ones who left these soul imprints were the clan leaders of my Zhao family!"
"The latest soul imprint was left by me..."
"Including me, all the clan leaders who left all the soul imprints here are... losers!"
"Because we are not qualified to enter the dark gate in front of you."
"And the real opportunity to break through the 'black hole realm' is behind this dark gate."
Ye Wuque's eyes flickered.
So many ancestors of the Zhao family could not enter the dark gate?
To be honest...
it's really sad!
Doesn't this mean that there is a treasure mountain but it can only be seen and touched?
No wonder Zhao Yiyuan's soul fluctuations just now revealed unwillingness, sighing, and helplessness.
He had now walked to the front of the dark gate and found that the dark gate was seamless and very simple. There were no complicated patterns on it. Only in the center, there was a pair of sunken handprints.
"I thought I was different!"
"I, Zhao Yiyuan, am outstanding in the way of the soul. I have been practicing the power of the soul since I was young and have made rapid progress. In the end, I broke into the realm of the Great Soul Saint of Nirvana. I also got a lot of luck by chance. After escaping death, I finally set foot in the Dark Star Great Perfection in middle age!"
"When I learned about the existence of the black hole inheritance bead, God knows how excited and surprised I was!"
"With great ambitions, I thought I would definitely step into the forbidden area and achieve the black hole realm!"
"However..."
"After I passed the inspection of the Dark Gate, I got a cruel fact."
"The pair of hand prints on the Dark Gate can detect one's own aptitude in the way of the soul after being placed on it."
"There are five grades in total."
"From low to high, they are low grade, middle grade, upper grade, upper grade, and the highest grade...super grade." "
I, Zhao Yiyuan, only got a...middle grade!"
"My aptitude in the way of the soul was determined by the Dark Gate to be only middle grade!!"
"At that time, I could hardly believe it and could not accept it!"
"But the cruel truth is that, with mid-grade qualifications, one cannot open the Dark Gate at all, and does not even have the qualifications to enter."
"You know!"
"I successfully broke through to the Great Perfection of the Dark Star Realm! Even though I was already middle-aged when I broke through, I can be regarded as an outstanding soul cultivator in my Zhao family."
"But I only got a mid-grade."
"I will be curious until I die. If 'mid-grade' has the potential to break through to the Great Perfection of the Dark Star Realm, then what about the top-grade? What about the higher top-grade? Or even the highest limit 'super-grade'?"
"How terrifying is it to meet the qualifications and potential of these three higher-level soul cultivators?"
"And in my entire Zhao family, after counting all the results, only one person finally succeeded in entering the Dark Gate and met the conditions."
"He is my grandfather!"
"And the test result he got on the Dark Gate was 'top-grade'!"
"In other words, one must at least reach 'top-grade' to be qualified to enter the Dark Gate."
"In the entire Zhao family, only my grandfather has done it! I am not as good as him, far from it."
"Did my grandfather successfully break through to the 'Black Hole Realm'?"
"No!"
"Although he went in, no one knows what the opportunity inside the Dark Gate is, and no one knows what he saw."
"At that time, my father had already obtained the position of clan leader and had the right to know everything about the Black Hole Inheritance Pearl."
"So my father knew that my grandfather did get the opportunity and tried to break through. Even my father thought that my grandfather was about to succeed!"
"But one day, my grandfather suddenly died! The breakthrough failed, and his soul collapsed and died."
"Before he died, he left a last message..."
"That is the horrible truth I told you!"
"The severance of the path of the Great Power Heavenly Master will sever the path to the Black Hole Realm!"
"Even if it is just the first step of 'harmonious unity' with Gu Tianwei, it won't work."
"Because my grandfather once entered the third layer of the galaxy, comprehended Gu Tianwei, and reached the level of 'harmonious unity'."
"He tried his best to leave this message before he died. No one knows how he knew the truth. Maybe he found it in the Dark Gate, but it was to remind the descendants of my Zhao family!"
"This terrible truth was exchanged for his own life! "
Ye Wuque carefully checked Zhao Yiyuan's soul power, and when he saw this, he was also awed.
Zhao Yiyuan's grandfather failed to break through because he embarked on the path of the Great Heavenly Master, and finally failed to break through the Black Hole Realm, his soul collapsed, and he died suddenly.
Therefore, for the sake of future generations, he would try his best to leave this last message before he died.
"What a pity! What's the point of grandfather leaving this message?"
"My father, and I, the two of us don't even have the qualifications to enter the Dark Gate. What can we do if we know the truth that the path of the Great Heavenly Master cuts off the path to the Black Hole Realm?"
At this moment, Zhao Yiyuan's soul power fluctuated to this point with a trace of sadness.
Ye Wuque was also silent.
This is indeed miserable.
And Zhao Yiyuan's grandfather... is even more miserable!
The Black Hole Inheritance Bead, the treasure inherited by the Zhao lineage, was not passed down until it was passed to Zhao Yiyuan's grandfather before someone entered it for the first time.
Before this, the Zhao lineage would not know that the path of the Great Heavenly Master and the path of the Black Hole Realm could not coexist.
Which soul cultivator doesn't want to become a Great Heavenly Master?
Zhao Yiyuan's grandfather might have been able to break through successfully, but he ended up failing because he didn't know the truth.
"But think about it from another perspective. Compared to having no hope of breaking through to the Black Hole Realm, what's wrong with becoming a great and powerful Heavenly Master who is respected by everyone and exalted in the Human Realm?"
Ye Wuque also nodded slowly, agreeing with this statement.
"This is all the secrets about my Zhao family and the Black Hole Inheritance Pearl. Now you know it all."
"As for why I left the Black Hole Inheritance Pearl in the Water Palace for someone who is destined to find it?" "
First, I, Zhao Yiyuan, am alone and do not have any bloodline. When the Zhao family lineage comes to me, it is equivalent to being cut off."
"Second, it is because of... killing and coveting!" "
There are a total of three veins in the Soul Heaven Palace. The other two veins united together and wanted to expel my Zhao family. Due to their weak strength, my Zhao family was almost slaughtered. I was the only one who escaped with serious injuries and will not live long."
"Until I die, I don't know why the other two veins want to expel my Zhao family. Is it because the Black Hole Inheritance Pearl was exposed? But this possibility is extremely small."
"It's a pity that I will not live long and don't even have the qualifications for revenge."
"And before I die, my biggest wish is not to find out the reason for my expulsion, nor is it to seek revenge."
"The biggest wish is to continue to pass on this 'Black Hole Inheritance Pearl'."
"My Zhao family has guarded the Black Hole Heritage Pearl for a long time, but has never produced a true Black Hole Realm who has stepped into the forbidden realm!"
"Treasures are created by nature, and those with virtue can occupy them!"
"Since my Zhao family can't do it, it means we have no virtue, and we shouldn't occupy it anymore."
