"Junior has found this treasure sword by a lucky chance that helped me to fight with the Sword Spirit Puppet." Feng Yun explained vaguely. He knew that he could not hide from such a powerful existence, so he told him about the Sword.
"This Sword!" The silver-haired old man stunned as he stared at the sword which was in Feng Yun's hands. He was even more shocked when he tried to examine the sword with the help of Spirit Sense but got rejected by the sword.
"Your luck is good, you had found a top treasure. I don't know the grade of this sword but I can tell that this sword at least an Immortal Ranked weapon. Although the old man was shocked by the sword, he didn't ask more about the sword.
"Senior, did I pass the all tests? Feng Yun asked the old man.
"Congratulations, you have passed the trial." the silver-haired old man said "It has been over 100,000 years. The treasure I left here finally has an heir."
"Before I give you the reward, you need to answer a question honestly."
"Senior, please speak." Feng Yun said in neither haughty nor humble manner.
"My name is Xiong Shoushan, my clan was also one of those unfortunate clans that have been destroyed in the ancient era. Accepting my clan's inheritance means that you have to shoulder the deep grudge of my clan's blood. This path of revenge is likely to be a path of no return. Are you willing to embark on this path of no return and take revenge for my clan?"
"Senior, I wonder who the enemy of your clan is?" Feng Yun pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Right now, you are too weak. You don't need to know who my clan's enemies are. You only need to answer whether you want to shoulder the sea of blood and take revenge for my Xiong clan. Some of my clansmen have fled and had been hiding in the shadow. It has been over a hundred thousand years, the history is going to repeat itself soon and the chaos spread in the entire world. When the time comes, you need to find my clansman and bring them here in this Secret Realm. Are you willing to shoulder these responsibilities?"
"Junior is willing." Feng Yun took a deep breath and nodded.
The reason why he agreed to this was not only because Xiong Shoushan gave him an indescribable good impression. More importantly, the path of cultivation was a path of no return, and great opportunities were right before his eyes. No matter what, he could not give up.
"Senior, can I ask a question?" Feng Yun hesitate for a moment and asked, "Senior, what is the reason which causes such great destruction in the Ancient Era."
"This is something that will give you no benefits after knowing it, so I will not tell you about the Ancient Era. You will understand soon that there are many incredible things outside in the world. The more try to find the mysteries the more you will be struck by these mysteries. At this stage, you should focus on cultivation and raising your strength." the silver-haired old man said while he stared into the endless void as he was remembering the past.
"Alright, then swear on the Dao of the Heavens, and I'll give you the most precious treasure in the true spirit secret realm after that oath." The enormous head said softly.
"I am, Feng Yun, willing to swear on the law of the heavens to bear the blood feud of the Xiong Clan and kill its enemies. I will find the remaining members of the Xiong clan and bring back them here" Feng Yun nodded and swore an oath to the heavens without any hesitation.
The cultivators used to swear on the Dao of Heaven to make any unbreakable promises. It can't be broken until the promise is completed, if someone broke the swear then he will be punished by Heaven Law.
Seeing these Dao patterns appear, the old man knew that Feng Yun's oath had already been incorporated into the rules of the Heavenly Dao. His deep eyes revealed a sense of gratification, and the gaze with which he looked at Feng Yun became gentler.
"Next, I will give you a map to help to find the location of my clan's remaining members."
As he said that, he opened his mouth. A white stream of light shot out from his forehead and entered Feng Yun's mind.
In the next moment, a map formed from white light appeared in his mind.
"This map will help you find the location of my Xiong clan's remaining members. Remember, this land which has shown on the map is far more difficult than this Secret Realm. If you do not have enough strength, remember not to barge in. Otherwise, you will lose your life." the old man said with a serious tone.
"Junior understands." Feng Yun nodded and said.
"Now, I'll give you a reward." the old man said.
"This is Nine-Floor Black Pagoda, supreme treasure, and more precious than any Divine Weapon." the old man reached out his hand, and suddenly a small tower-like pagoda appeared in the air while floating towards Feng Yun.
The Black Pagoda has ten floors and every floor was intricately crafted and exquisite.
"What is the use of this tower. It is more precious than any divine weapon."Feng Yun took the little tower in his hand, moved it left and right to check, but he didn't find anything precious.
"You will understand soon after you became the owner of the tower." the old man said, "Drip a drop of your blood on the tower and the knowledge of the tower will appear in your mind."
Feng Yun did as Xiong Shoushan said. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the tower.
Boom!'
Suddenly new information appeared in his mind. After being digested the information, Feng Yun showed a very surprised and elated expression.
