At those words, Emperor Tianwu was stunned. So was Wu Xuantian beside him.
They stared at the seed before them, black as jade, shock piling up in their eyes to a terrifying degree.
Only those who knew a little about such things understood what the Pitch-Black Seed was.
It could change a person's appearance, build, aura—everything about them—and turn them into someone entirely new.
No method could detect the change.
Not only that, it could restore their remaining lifespan to what it had been in their youth. It was almost like living a second life.
But the Pitch-Black Seed had vanished long ago. Rumor had it that none remained. They had never imagined the Heavenly Demon Chief Envoy still possessed one, much less that he had hidden it in this Forbidden Land.
Emperor Tianwu finally understood what the Heavenly Demon Chief Envoy meant.
He intended to use the Pitch-Black Seed to change his aura and appearance completely, escape the Great Qian Kingdom's pursuit, and assume an entirely new identity.
Emperor Tianwu's expression grew complicated. He finally understood why the Heavenly Demon Chief Envoy had asked whether he was willing to change everything for revenge, even make a tremendous sacrifice.
The sacrifice was immense.
If he agreed, then once he became another person, everything he had once been would pass into history.
There would be no more Emperor Tianwu in this world, no more emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. There would only be someone new.
The Heavenly Demon Chief Envoy nodded slightly. "Exactly. It's just as you imagine. Agree, and you'll enter this deep sea. Once you undergo the Pitch-Black Seed's transformation, you'll become someone who has never existed in this world."
"Then I can teach you the strongest method of concealing your aura, making your cultivation look utterly unremarkable.
