Hun Xiu looked Soul Emperor straight in the eye without the slightest intention of backing down. He had to have this cultivation method.

Seeing the determination written across Hun Xiu's young face, Soul Emperor could not help sighing. "Xiu'er, do you know the origins of this cultivation method?"

Hun Xiu replied respectfully, "Xiu'er does not. I ask Father to enlighten me."

From Soul Emperor's manner, Hun Xiu could already tell that this so-called father of his was showing signs of relenting.

If Soul Emperor had insisted on not letting him cultivate the Fire Devouring Scripture, then honestly, Hun Xiu would have had no way around it.

But now that Soul Emperor seemed willing to relent, Hun Xiu could not help feeling a faint surge of joy.

Soul Emperor slowly explained, "I happened to obtain this cultivation method in an ancient cave dwelling when I was traveling the continent."

"I do not know its grade, and I cannot understand its contents. I only recognize the four large characters on its cover."

"So, Xiu'er, you should understand that you simply cannot learn this cultivation method. Give it up! Cultivate the Emperor Burning Fire Art properly instead."

As he spoke, Soul Emperor once again held the Emperor Burning Fire Art out to Hun Xiu.

He had made himself so clear. Surely the boy knew what choice to make now?

Hun Xiu looked at the Emperor Burning Fire Art Soul Emperor was offering, then at the Fire Devouring Scripture in his own hand.

Hun Xiu shook his head with considerable resolve. "Father, Xiu'er still wishes to choose the Fire Devouring Scripture."

"Ah..."

"What a foolish child!"

Hearing that Hun Xiu had actually chosen a "trash" cultivation method that could not even be understood, Soul Emperor shook his head and sighed inwardly.

Soul Emperor said, "Since you have chosen the Fire Devouring Scripture, then do not regret it."

His tone was firm, and it was not hard to hear a trace of displeasure in his words.

After all, he had made his intentions so obvious, yet Hun Xiu had still chosen the Fire Devouring Scripture rather than the Emperor Burning Fire Art.

Soul Emperor also regretted it deeply. Why had he suddenly, as if possessed, taken out this cultivation method that had sat in his Storage Ring for countless years?

Was he not harming his own Xiu'er?

With a determined look on his young face, Hun Xiu said, "Xiu'er will not regret it. Xiu'er will bear the consequences of his own choice."

"Good. Remember your words." Soul Emperor spoke in a deep voice, a hint of satisfaction flashing through his eyes.

"Xiu'er will remember."

"Hmph..."

Soul Emperor gave a dissatisfied snort and left, leaving Hun Xiu standing there alone.

Soul Emperor returned to Nihility Devouring Flame's side. Nihility Devouring Flame smiled and asked, "How did it go, Heavenly Emperor?"

Soul Emperor said, "That little fellow actually gave up the Emperor Burning Fire Art."

"Hm?"

Upon hearing Soul Emperor's words, Nihility Devouring Flame froze slightly. Once he came back to his senses, he said, "The Emperor Burning Fire Art is the highest known fire-attribute cultivation method in the Hun Clan."

"He did not think highly of it?"

"Yes."

Soul Emperor nodded slightly. In Soul Emperor's view, his son simply did not think highly of the Emperor Burning Fire Art.

"Uh..."

Nihility Devouring Flame clicked his tongue inwardly. "That little fellow is rather picky!"

He then asked, "Then, Heavenly Emperor, what cultivation method did he choose in the end?"

In Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes, the Emperor Burning Fire Art was already the highest-grade known fire-attribute cultivation method in the Hun Clan.

If that little fellow did not even care for the Emperor Burning Fire Art, then he surely would not care for the remaining fire-attribute cultivation methods either.

Soul Emperor said, "Nihility, do you remember that cultivation method we obtained in an ancient cave dwelling long ago?"

"Hm?"

Hearing Soul Emperor's words, Nihility Devouring Flame sank into his memories. Finally realizing what he meant, he said, "Heavenly Emperor, are you referring to the Fire Devouring Scripture?"

"Yes."

Soul Emperor nodded slightly. "That is the one."

Nihility Devouring Flame said, "Was that not an incomprehensible cultivation method?"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he instantly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "That little fellow chose the Fire Devouring Scripture?"

"Yes."

Soul Emperor sighed helplessly. He simply could not understand why he had taken out the Fire Devouring Scripture as if possessed.

Even now, Soul Emperor could find no explanation.

What had been wrong with him at that time?

Nihility Devouring Flame said in shock, "Is that not an incomprehensible cultivation method? Heavenly Emperor, why did you give it to that little fellow?"

"Do you expect him to understand it?"

Nihility Devouring Flame knew about the Fire Devouring Scripture as well.

After all, he and Soul Emperor had obtained it in an ancient cave dwelling while traveling long ago.

Both of them had been drawn to the Fire Devouring Scripture, especially Nihility Devouring Flame. When he saw the four words "Fire Devouring Scripture,"

he had once believed it to be the cultivation method practiced by that person. He had once thought that his opportunity had arrived.

But when he opened the so-called Fire Devouring Scripture, Nihility Devouring Flame was taken aback, because he could not understand its contents at all.

It was not only him who could not understand it.

Even Soul Emperor could not understand it.

They both knew that the Fire Devouring Scripture was an extraordinary cultivation method, and they had spent several years studying it.

But... they still could not understand the contents of the Fire Devouring Scripture. It was like a heavenly book.

Had Soul Emperor not brought it up, Nihility Devouring Flame would nearly have forgotten about the Fire Devouring Scripture.

Soul Emperor said, "What if he can understand it?"

"Let us hope so!" Nihility Devouring Flame did not believe Hun Xiu could understand it at all.

After all, he and Soul Emperor had studied its contents for years without figuring them out. Could a little brat who had not even grown all his hair understand it?

What a joke.

Soul Emperor did not wish to believe it either, but he still held a trace of hope in his heart.

After all, he had made himself so clear, yet Hun Xiu had still chosen the Fire Devouring Scripture.

What if he really could understand it? Just as he had said, perhaps they were fated.

After Soul Emperor left, Hun Xiu slowly opened the Fire Devouring Scripture.

But the moment he opened it, Hun Xiu was drawn in by its contents.

"These are... Chinese Characters?"

Looking at the Chinese Characters written within, Hun Xiu's heart trembled slightly, and he could not help becoming excited.

This was the Dou Qi Continent, another world. The culture here was different from that of the planet where he had lived in his previous life.

But the Chinese Characters written in the Fire Devouring Scripture filled Hun Xiu with excitement.

Because these Chinese Characters did not belong to the Dou Qi Continent. They were a language from the planet where he had once lived.

The Fire Devouring Scripture was actually written in Chinese Characters. Did that not mean that he was not the only transmigrator on this continent? He was not the only one; there had been other transmigrators before him? And they had very likely come from the same place as him in his previous life.

"Hiss..."

As this thought surfaced, Hun Xiu could not help sucking in a cold breath, because the idea was truly too terrifying.

Starting today, there will be two chapters a day. Today's two updates are here. I ask all my dear readers to add this book to your bookmarks and cast a few recommendation votes! Newcomer Little Feng Xin kneels here in thanks.
