Chapter 733 - Asura Clan

Xiao Hua's body trembled when she heard the name 'Asura Clan' come out of Senior Bai's mouth.

"You know Xiao Hua's family?" She asked him.

Senior Bai chuckled for a moment before shaking his head, "No, I don't personally know them, but who in the Nine Heavens hasn't heard of the infamous Asura Clan? Everyone born within that family is exceptionally talented, not to mention their heaven-defying physiques that give them an indestructible body."

"The Nine Heavens respected… feared the Asura Clan."

"Young lady, your family was banished to the Primordial Realm for a reason. Why do you want to set them free? What does your family plan on doing once they return?" Senior Bai was well aware of her Legacy and its purpose.

However, he does not know of Xiao Hua or her family's purpose.

"Xiao Hua does not know," she responded to him in a clear voice, indicating that she truly doesn't know her family's plan, nor why she's helping them.

Senior Bai narrowed his eyes at Xiao Hua before shifting his gaze to Yuan.

"The Primordial Realm isn't any better than the Nine Heavens Grotto, as they both serve the same purpose. However, there is a slight difference between the two. The Primordial Realm was created to punish those that have wronged, but they are not hopeless. As long as they fulfill the Supreme Heaven's Legacy, they may roam the land freely."

"As for the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto, once you're inside, it is impossible to come back out unless someone is daring enough to break you out."

"If the heavens are willing to give your family a second chance, I have no right to interfere with your legacy. However, not everyone shares the same sentiment as me."

"Some people out there have made it their lifelong mission to prevent those from the Primordial Realm from regaining their freedom, so it won't be easy. Although you won't meet any of these people right now, once you climb higher, where more people recognize her aura…"

"Her aura?" Yuan looked at Xiao Hua with raised eyebrows.

"I don't sense anything unnatural about her aura."

"Of course you don't. You have never met another exile in your life. Exiles have this unique aura that can be sensed by those with a superior divine sense, which you'll get once you reach Spirit Sovereign. However, knowing you, you'll probably learn it at a much earlier stage, perhaps as a Spirit Emperor." Senior Bai explained.

"Spirit Sovereigns can only be found in the Fifth Heaven and above. I hope you'll be ready then, because that is where her legacy truly makes it impossible. Of course, you can still choose to leave her. That's what Xu Jiaqi would suggest you do."

"That will never happen. Even if I have to fight the entire world, I won't abandon her." Yuan said with a stern face.

"Suit yourself." Senior Bai shrugged.

"Anyways, I have kept you here for long enough. Just remember to keep a lookout for the escaped immortals. If they're not caught soon, they will terrorize the world, and many innocent lives will be lost."

"I will let you know if I encounter them." Yuan nodded.

"Good. Then I will see you later."

Yuan and Xiao Hua left the place shortly after.

Senior Bai sighed to himself after they left, "The Asura Clan… They were once respected and admired by the entire Nine Heavens. But after their sudden rampage and their affiliation with 'that person' was exposed, they became the most feared family in the Nine Heavens."

"In the entire Nine Heavens, there are only a handful of people who wouldn't mind the Asura Clan regaining their freedom. Good luck, Yuan."

After returning to the Myriad of Techniques, Yuan sat down with Xiao Hua at an empty table.

"If you don't want to talk about it, you don't need to." Yuan said to her after a moment of silence.

Xiao Hua bit her lips and said, "Xiao Hua doesn't know why her family was banished to the Primordial Realm, and no matter how many times I ask my family, they would not tell me."

"However, they would always say that they weren't wrong for what they did and that they did not regret their actions even slightly."

Yuan smiled and said, "If they managed to raise someone like you, I don't doubt that whatever they did, they truly believed in their purpose. They are probably good people that made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes no matter how perfect they may seem."

Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "Xiao Hua's family are not good people. They have killed a lot of people, and they never smile."

"I will be the judge of that when we meet them." Yuan said.

"Un." Xiao Hua nodded her head before returning inside his body.

Sometime later, Meixiu and the others began returning one by one with a technique in their grasp.

Both Wang Ming and Wang Bingbing decided to pick a sword technique while Shi Lang picked a spear technique. As for Hong Xiuquan and Li Jinxi, they also picked a technique that benefited their weapon of choice. Of course, they were all Heaven-rank techniques.

"What did you get?" Yuan asked Meixiu, who was the last to return.

"It's a bow technique that was once used by a famous archer, who managed to pierce a star with this very technique— at least that's what the description said."

"Alright. Since everyone has their techniques now, let's check out."

Thus, they returned back to the first floor to 'pay' for the techniques.

"All done. You still have 6 free techniques for this year." The young man said after logging in their techniques into the logbook.

"Thank you."

Once everyone had their technique, Yuan and the others left the Myriad of Techniques.

"Thanks for the technique, Yuan. I am going to study the hell out of it to show my gratitude!" Wang Ming said to him after they left.

"Don't train too hard. I'm afraid that you'll break something if you train any more than you already are.." Yuan smiled.
