Chapter 206
"Moreover, that Sylra has absolutely no guard up against you, Saint Lord, and is currently sleeping soundly."
"Even if I walked right in through the main entrance of the cave, he wouldn’t notice!"
Alex nodded. "Coming to find me, what is the matter?"
"Of course I’m here to report back on my mission." Blaze said with a grinning smile.
"That Saintess Iris has already been smoothly escorted back to the Holy Land by me."
"And on my trip back, I actually arrived just in time to catch the Noir family invading the Holy Land, with the First Elder fighting desperately to the death!"
"Oh?" Alex raised an eyebrow.
"And then?"
"Of course I couldn’t bear to watch the First Elder die in battle! So, upon seeing injustice on the road, I let out a roar, and when it was time to make a move, I made my move!" Blaze’s face was full of excitement, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
"Using the Supreme-Annihilating Flying Knife you gifted me, Saint Lord, I directly finished off that Noir family Saint Lord, Cyrus, and chased all the invaders out!"
"Oh." Alex nodded and laughed.
"I didn’t expect your performance to actually be so heroic?"
"Tell me, did you come back to report on your mission, or to claim credit for your achievements?"
"Uh..." Seeing his little thoughts exposed, Blaze laughed awkwardly.
"Saint Lord, I... of course I came to report on my mission."
"However, I know the Saint Lord has always been clear in dispensing rewards and punishments, and always rewards merit."
"So, if the Saint Lord wants to reward me with something, I wouldn’t mind at all~"
Alex couldn’t help but laugh. "Alright, stop being glib."
"Your heroic performance, I have long since known about."
"If you hadn’t rushed back in time and annihilated Cyrus, not only would the Holy Land have been invaded by the Noir family, but the First Elder would have also died without a doubt."
"Having established such a massive merit, I will naturally reward you."
With that said, Alex casually waved his hand. From his storage ring, he took out a secret manual he had prepared long ago and tossed it to Blaze.
Blaze hurriedly caught it, asking cautiously.
"Saint Lord, this is..."
"This Wind Spirit Illusory Heaven Technique is a Middle-Grade Supreme-tier cultivation technique. It is a wind-controlling art that perfectly matches your spiritual roots." Alex smiled faintly.
"Go back and study it carefully. This cultivation technique is enough for you to cultivate all the way to the Mahayana Realm."
"Even after stepping into the Supreme Realm, it will still be useful."
Blaze instantly widened his eyes, feeling a wave of overwhelming, flattered surprise.
"My heavens, Saint Lord, such a precious cultivation method, even the elders have never possessed something like this."
"I, I... how am I, a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, worthy of cultivating it? Wouldn’t that be ruining this divine technique?"
One must know, the two secret techniques passed down from the ancestors of the Hale family were only Low-Grade Supreme-tier.
This Wind Spirit Illusory Heaven Technique actually reached the Middle-Grade Supreme-tier.
Looking across the entire Heavenly Flame Dynasty, such things were as rare as phoenix feathers and dragon scales.
Such a formidable cultivation method, the Saint Lord didn’t cultivate it himself, but instead passed it on to him. How could he possibly bear such a heavy burden?
"Alright, since I have given it to you, it means I believe you will not recklessly waste a heavenly treasure." Alex patted Blaze’s shoulder and laughed.
"Instead of using your time to decline it, you might as well study it carefully."
"Strive to break through to the Mahayana Realm and the Supreme Realm as soon as possible, and become my right and left arm."
"Mm, rest assured Saint Lord, I will definitely cultivate hard!" Blaze clenched his fists and nodded heavily.
He hesitated for a moment. Then smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Saint Lord, I... have one more request."
Alex waved his hand. "If you have a request, just say it. Why are you hemming and hawing?"
"Saint Lord, I want to leave the Southwestern and return to the main family!" Blaze’s face was full of excitement.
"Recently, the Saint Lord has led the main family disciples to do many great things. I have long heard of it all the way in Southwestern."
"Right now, possessing this cultivation technique gifted by the Saint Lord, my cultivation is bound to multiply."
"When the Saint Lord leaves Southwestern, please take me back together with you."
"I will definitely do my utmost to assist the Saint Lord and achieve a grand enterprise!"
Alex froze slightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Brat, what is going on in your head?"
"So many disciples in the family cultivate desperately with their lives on the line, and their ultimate goal is nothing more than to take charge of a sector, rule a region, and become a Branch Family Saint Lord."
"As a Branch Family head, you actually want to go back and be an ordinary disciple. Isn’t that regressing the longer you live?"
Blaze said bitterly. "Saint Lord, if I could be a true Branch Family Saint Lord, I would naturally be willing."
"But... my Southwestern branch family, from the Saint Lord down to the clan members, consists of only me. It fundamentally cannot be considered a branch family at all."
"Back then, because I made a mistake, the Saint Lord punished me to guard this Southwestern branch family alone."
"Now I have realized my mistakes, and have also established merit to atone for my crimes. I beg the Saint Lord to allow me to return to the main family!"
"Taking you back to the main family is naturally no problem." Alex smiled profoundly.
"However, I can guarantee you."
"Before long, the Southwestern branch family will definitely have a massive influx of fresh blood joining it, occupy a pivotal position in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and become just as powerful and prosperous as the other branch families."
"At that time, the Saint Lord of the Southwestern branch family will also sit on equal footing with the other Branch Family Saint Lords."
"When that time comes, don’t regret it."
Blaze froze, revealing a look of astonishment.
"Saint Lord, are... are you telling the truth?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Alex smiled faintly.
"How about it, I will give you one more chance to choose."
