The Last Primal

Nobody knew how to console her for something as such.

The atmosphere turned heavy.

Looking at Aiden, the spirit tiger hoped that he would say something.

After pondering for a moment, Aiden decided to distract little crane. "Little crane, how did you enter the intermediate ancient battlefield?"

Although the old divine bird had broken through 20 years ago into a high-level fiend demon that was equivalent to the Quasi Divine realm of mortals, it was probably impossible for her to open up a teleportation point to the intermediate ancient battlefield single-handedly.

As though she called something, little crane\'s expression changed all of a sudden and she turned into her mortal form. She grabbed Aiden\'s arm and said anxiously, "Save little Nora! Think of a way to save Nora Zell!"

"Hmm?"

Aiden\'s heart sank and he took a deep breath. "What happened? Calm down and speak slowly."

Nora Zell was the small girl that he \'picked up\' in the capital of Great North and she contained many secrets in her body.

For example, Nora Zell was already incredibly strong before she trained.

Also, Nora Zell did not seem to age.

Or rather, time seemed like it passed extremely slowly for her.

This meant that Nora Zell\'s lifespan was much longer than anyone else of the same level!

Even so, Aiden had no doubts towards Nora Zell.

Everyone had secrets.

Furthermore, she was only a child and had a pure heart. Be it to him or Azure Myst Sect, she carried no evil intentions.

She fought with all her might for the battle at Azure Myst Sect and almost died – it was clear that she had already regarded Azure Myst Sect as her home.

Little crane replied, "An old patriarch of the Great North Dynasty appeared and took the initiative to look mother up with the intention of opening a teleportation spot together."

"The patriarch was a Quasi Divine, but his blood energy has deteriorated and his lifespan is about to end. That was why he decided to use a secret skill to burn up the last of his lifespan and release a burst together with mother to open up a teleportation spot."

"However, the teleportation tunnel was extremely cramped and only two people can be teleported. The patriarch of Great North gave both spots to Azure Myst Sect."

When he heard that, Aiden raised his brow.

That action was equivalent to sacrificing his life to give a great gift to Azure Myst Sect!

The patriarch of Great North must have a motive for doing that!

Little crane continued, "The patriarch of Great North knew that his life was about to end and was worried that a calamity would befall the Great North Dynasty after his demise. As such, he wanted to use this gift in exchange for the protection of mother and Azure Myst Sect."

In the battle at Azure Myst Sect, the other four major sects suffered immense losses and their Void Reversions perished.

Although Azure Myst Sect suffered immense losses as well, its surviving disciples had great potential for the future!

Furthermore, the old divine bird managed to extend her life with that battle and advanced to the Quasi Divine realm. She broke free of the restraints of Heaven and Earth and freed herself from the threat of her demise with an extension of her lifespan.

With that, Azure Myst Sect became the leader of the five major sects instantly!

Its strength surpassed the other four major sects firmly and there were more and more martial artists that wanted to join the sect.

In the past 20 years, Azure Myst Sect turned into the true number one sect of Great North!

It was not hard to understand why the patriarch of Great North made that decision.

Little crane looked at Aiden and continued, "Mother told me that part of the reason why the Emperor of Great North left the throne to her daughter was because of you and your actions. At the same time, it was also because of her relationship with you as well as the fact that Azure Myst Sect was backing you."

Aiden nodded.

This was something he had guessed as well.

According to customs, the throne was passed down to the sons in order of seniority – no matter what, Seetho Khouge would not have inherited it.

Furthermore, she was a female.

Finally, despite the unrest and internal and external strife in Great North for the past 20 years after the throne was passed down to Seetho Khouge, she was not removed from position – that was definitely not a decision made by the Emperor of Great North alone.

So, the patriarch of Great North also backed the idea!

With that, everything made sense.

This patriarch of Great North had planned a long time ahead.

Furthermore, he made the right gamble.

The fact that the old divine bird sent little crane here meant that they had agreed on the deal!

Although he was dead, he paved the way for Great North before his demise with the protection of an expert at Quasi Divine realm.

From there on, it was no longer up to his control how Great North would grow in the future.

A thought struck Aiden as he asked, "Old divine bird sent you and Nora Zell in here with those two spots?"

"Yes,"

Little crane nodded. "Many martial artists joined Azure Myst Sect and the strength of the sect has grown. However, there are issues as well. We no longer have enough elixirs, weapons or martial art techniques to supply them."

"Both mother and the sect master looked highly forward to the opening of the ancient battlefield, hoping to use this opportunity to strengthen our sect\'s foundation."

"Although Nora Zell joined the sect pretty late, she is already the number one of the Martial Master realm in our sect right now! In fact, the sect master said that she might be comparable to you!"

"Mother also mentioned that Nora Zell\'s Martial Master phenomenon has a chance of making it to the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking!"

Aiden\'s eyes lit up.

He was surprised enough at the fact that she might be able to make it to the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking.

Sect Master Lian Liu was already at the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm and both he and the old divine bird were wise and sharp. The fact that they gave Nora Zell such a high evaluation was proof of her strength!

Of course, neither the old divine bird nor Sect Master Lian Liu knew of Aiden\'s true strength after he laid dormant for 20 years at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.

Nobody had witnessed it as well.

As though she recalled something, little crane\'s eyes were filled with fear. "Not long after we entered the ancient battlefield, we came across a group of seven! There were six men and one woman!"

"The seven of them were extremely strong! Extremely, extremely strong!"

Little crane emphasized continuously – it was clear how much of a blow it was for her!

"The group of them looked down on everything with a cold, arrogant indifference. However, something was off the moment they caught sight of Nora Zell."

"Nora Zell\'s expression turned terrible as well the moment we saw them. At that time, we were holding hands and her palm went ice-cold right away, filled with sweat."

Aiden and the others could not help but feel anxious at this point.

Little crane continued, "Thereafter, the seven of them had odd expressions and walked towards us, looking at Nora Zell with fake smiles. Nora Zell told me not to ask about anything and just run before rushing to them."

After pausing for a moment, little crane gulped. "The moment Nora Zell rushed up, she released her Martial Master phenomenon. However, it was shattered by a single punch from the leader of the opposing group!"

"Ah!"

Little fox exclaimed.

Narrowing his gaze, Aiden asked, "He destroyed Nora Zell\'s Martial Master phenomenon with a single punch?"

"Yes!"

Little fox nodded with conviction.

Aiden\'s expression turned grim.

According to the old divine bird, Nora Zell\'s Martial Master phenomenon had a chance of making it to the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking.

In other words, her Martial Master phenomenon was definitely not weaker than his Soaring Serpent and Divine Turtle!

However, such a terrifying Martial Master phenomenon was shattered by a single punch!

Aiden was secretly shocked.

Even he might not be capable of releasing such a powerful burst!

Suddenly, Aiden realized that the ancient battlefield this time round might be much scarier than he had imagined it to be!
