System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 235 Ch 235: Two Years

Elder Valerio's sudden appearance startled Eric. Eric stepped back a little before balancing himself.

He has no idea who this middle-aged man standing in front of him is, but he could sense a boundless and monstrous aura radiating out of Elder Valerio's body that alerted him a lot.

Elder Valerio observed him for quite a while. He seemed to have noticed something that made him reveal an astonished look on his face. He could not bear to be let go of whatever he had noticed, and immediately asked Eric: "Young man, would you like to become my disciple?"

His words surprised Eric. He raised his head in astonishment and muttered in a low voice: "Become a disciple?"

Elder Valerio nodded his head, saying: "My name is Valerio Piroddi, and am a guest elder in the Profound Star Sect."

Eric has heard of Alex becoming the disciple of Elder Valerio, the mysterious guest elder of Profound Star Sect, but he never expected to see Elder Valerio like this. And he never expected to get an offer of becoming a disciple of Elder Valerio.

To be on the safe side, he still asked: "Is Alex your disciple?"

"Alex?" Elder Valerio was surprised. He carefully observed Eric and replied: "He is my disciple. Why do you ask?"

"Hello elder, my name is Eric, Eric Dawson. I am Alex's cousin and am looking for him for a long time." Eric enthusiastically introduced himself to Elder Valerio.

"Oh... So you are his cousin." Elder Valerio was surprised, then he frowned, and asked: "But why can't I sense that bloodline of yours in his body?"

"My bloodline?" Eric was startled and then replied: "I don't think so. Although Alex is a White, he should still have the bloodline of us, Dawson, since his mother was from our family. He should also have the Bloodline of Three-headed Hydra."

Elder Valerio nodded and frowned. Then he muttered: "There can be only one explanation. Alex's bloodline from his father's side suppressed or swallowed the bloodline of his mother's side. But... What kind of bloodline can swallow the bloodline of Three-headed Hydra? Even in the vast universe, the Three-headed, Five-headed, Seven-headed, and Nine-headed Hydra is very to be seen."

"No, Alex's father came from a very small family. This family doesn't have any bloodline or special physique." Eric shook his head and spoke subconsciously, but suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed: "Wait a minute... What do you mean by 'Vast Universe'?"

Elder Valerio didn't say anything. He seemed to have fallen into deep thought. After some time, he spoke again: "Answer me first, would you like to become my disciple?"

Eric thought for some time before nodding his head and greeted: "Disciple greets master!"

"Good!" Elder Valerio smiled and said: "Do you know why I asked you to become my disciple?"

Eric replied almost immediately: "Because of my bloodline... Maybe!"

"You got it half right!" Elder Valerio said: "The Three-headed Hydra is indeed a rare bloodline, and if stimulated to the extreme, it is capable of evolving into Five-headed, Seven-headed, and Nine-headed Hydra Bloodline. With each evolution, the devouring power of black flame originated from Hydra Bloodline will be strengthened by at least 10% and at most 30%."

"Not to mention, the fighting prowess brought by the Hydra Bloodline is something that could not be underestimated at all."

Elder Valerio stopped for a moment before speaking again: "But this is only half of the reason. The other half of the reason why I accepted you as my disciple is because of your fate!"

"My fate?" Eric was confused. This time, he could not understand what Elder Valerio was saying.

Elder Valerio nodded and replied: "Yes, your fate. You are fated to enter the Crimson Sky Ancient Ruin and become the master of Crimson Sky Ancient World, becoming the Crimson Sky Emperor himself!"

"Crimson Sky... What?"

"You don't need to know that yet. Cultivate well and become stronger first. When you could stand on the peak of this world one day, I'll tell you in detail!" Elder Valerio shook his head and said in a low voice.

Then he again said: "As for Alex, he is currently cultivating in a secluded world, and he will not come out from that world for three years. You should also close in and start cultivating."

Saying this, Elder Valerio pointed his hand at the center of Eric's forehead, and the next instant, a load of information immediately flooded Eric's mind.

Eric closed his eyes and started comprehending the newly obtained information. A few seconds later, when he again opened his eyes, a profound light could be seen in them.

"Swallowing Heavens!"

This was a cultivation technique given by Elder Valerio that could not only make it possible for Eric to cultivate his own Three-headed Hydra Bloodline and evolve them, but it could also make it possible for Eric to swallow all types of energy and treasures of the world and become stronger.

It was a Heaven-defying Technique that was comprehended and created by an Origin Martial God called Heaven Swallowing Emperor.

As for what an Origin Martial God is, Eric has no idea.

Elder Valerio gave him two cultivation techniques. One was called Swallowing Heavens and the other one was called Crimson Sky Emperor Art.

Elder Valerio spoke: "Since you are fated to inherit the legacy of Crimson Sky Emperor, I gave you a fragment of Crimson Sky Emperor's main cultivation technique for you to cultivate in advance. This technique will help you in many ways when you enter the Crimson Sky Ancient Ruin."

"Also, although this is only a fragment of original Crimson Sky Emperor Art, it is enough for you to cultivate to the Holy Lord Realm. I only had this fragment in my hand. As for the rest of the cultivation techniques, you have to obtain them on your own in the Crimson Sky Ancient Ruin."

"Let's forget about standing on the peak of this world, as long as you could cultivate to the Holy Lord Stage, I will tell you everything about the Crimson Sky Emperor."

After saying all these things, Elder Valerio then told Eric about the cultivation stages of True Essence Sky World. Then he brought Eric inside the D Grade Dimension Gate and told him to cultivate anywhere he wants.

.....

Just like that, time started passing second by second and minute by minute.

And very soon, two years passed.

In these two years, many events occurred that shook the entire Middle Land. In fact, there were few events that shook the entire Three Cultivation Lands.

First of all, in the Pill Assembly held by the Alchemist Association where countless Alchemists took part, a small Alchemist Association, that has never won before, actually won.

It was the Alchemist Association of Profound Star City.

Second, when countless geniuses and upper echelons of First- and Second-rate forces were away, either participating in the competition held by the Flame Dragon Clan or watching the competition, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above the Profound Star Sect.

It was then revealed that three people infiltrated the forbidden land of the sect and actually found the Dragon Egg that was hidden by the previous sect leader, Gatlin.

There were already countless rumors of Gatlin stealing the Dragon Egg from the hands of the people of the Flame Dragon Clan, causing the Profound Star Sect to bear the wrath of this powerful force. This was also the reason why the Profound Star Sect started declining and soon become a second-rate force from a first-rate force.

The appearance of Dragon Egg caused the entire Three Cultivation Lands to fall in a few days of chaos, to the extent that Flame Dragon Clan actually postponed the competition for a few days and issued an order to look for the three people who stole the Dragon Egg.

At the same time, they were about to attack the Profound Star Sect and erase its existence from the surface of the Middle Land, however, at that time, Elder Valerio came forward and stopped them on his own.

The Flame Dragon Clan, for some reason, stopped and did not dare to continue attacking the Profound Star Sect.

It is said that the Flame Dragon Clan was terrified of Elder Valerio.

Because of this, another rumor spread across the three cultivation lands that Elder Valerio is someone who came from the True Essence Sky World, a vast world on the other side of seemingly endless Death Valley that has separated the Three Cultivation Lands and the True Essence Sky World for countless years now.

These rumors caused countless forces to immediately become alert and they announced never to provoke the Profound Star Sect again.

And even the Flame Dragon Clan did the same.

Third, the Flame Dragon Clan continued to look for the people who have stolen the Dragon Egg but did not find them. Having no choice, they once again continued the competition and selected a total of ten geniuses, telling the world that they are going to bring these ten geniuses to the True Essence Sky World.
