I Am Overlord

Chapter 1462: Master's Instructions

When Xiao Wei brought Xiang Shaoyun to the forbidden zone, he stopped and no longer took a single step forward. He could feel that someone had locked onto his aura. If he took even an additional step forward, he would be killed by the guardian in charge of the place.

The wolf guard appeared before Xiang Shaoyun and dropped down on one knee as he said, "Greetings, young master!"

Xiang Shaoyun was stunned. He hurriedly helped the wolf guard up and said, "Lord wolf guard, there is no need for that."

"The master orders that from now on, the wolf guards will all fall under your command. There are 365 of us in total. I am Lang Chen, captain of the seventh squad. I lead 64 wolf guards in my squad. We are at your command," said the wolf guard. historical

Both Xiang Shaoyun and Xiao Wei were shocked. Xiang Shaoyun knew that the wolf guard before him was a Great Saint or even a peak Great Saint. Just this person alone was an existence beyond many experts. This wolf guard also had 64 wolf guards under him, and it was extremely likely that all of them were experts.

Xiang Shaoyun did not need to know how strong the other six squads were to picture just how powerful the wolf guards were. Thus, he found it hard to believe that his master had handed the wolf guards over to him.

Xiao Wei was completely dumbstruck. He had long known about the existence of the wolf guards. He might not know too much about them, but he knew that they were the gravekeeper elder's personal army. Even the Dragon Phoenix Academy needed the gravekeeper elder's permission if they wanted to make use of the wolf guards.

In fact, the wolf guards were so powerful that the principal coveted them greatly. With the entire wolf guards being handed over to Xiang Shaoyun, one could imagine just how important Xiang Shaoyun was to the gravekeeper elder.

"I need to inform the principal about this," said Xiao Wei to himself before rushing away to look for the principal.

When Xiang Shaoyun recovered from his shock, he said, "Take me to my master."

"Yes, young master," answered the wolf guard before bringing Xiang Shaoyun to the gravekeeper elder's residence.

Xiang Shaoyun had thought that his master's residence would be luxurious. But when he entered the residence, he found that within the massive courtyard, there was nothing apart from a simple house and several trees.

"Perhaps for my master, cultivation is the same regardless of the location," muttered Xiang Shaoyun to himself.

Xiang Shaoyun alone walked up to the house. Just as he reached the door, the door opened by itself.

With one look, Xiang Shaoyun found the gravekeeper elder seated within the house. He wanted to kneel down and greet his master, but an incorporeal power stopped him from kneeling.

"Let's talk outside," said the gravekeeper elder as he appeared outside the house.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even sense anything, nor could he see his master moving out of the house. He could only imagine how strong his master was.

"Thank you for your help, master," said Xiang Shaoyun earnestly as he bowed.

If it wasn't for his master, he would still be known as a devil. No place in the entire dominion would be able to accept him.

"Don't mention the past. This time, I have three tasks for you," said the gravekeeper elder.

"Please give me your instructions, master. I'll do my best to complete them," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

"Firstly, agree to rejoin the academy. Secondly, take over the wolf guards and guard the Devil Domain entrance at the Dusk Dynasty with the wolf guards for three years. Thirdly, participate in the Heaven Battling Ranking, which will be held in 10 years, and take first place. The Heaven Battling Ranking is a competition that is held once every 500 years," said the gravekeeper elder. He was never one to beat around the bush. Using only several sentences, he said all he had to say.

"Yes, master," Xiang Shaoyun agreed without even asking for a reason.

"Now, release your energy and let me have a look. Have you really fused the nine energies?" said the gravekeeper elder.

"Yes, master," answered Xiang Shaoyun as he released primal inception energy. Instantly, he was shrouded in a nine-colored radiance.

The gravekeeper elder's empty eyes flickered as he instantly saw through Xiang Shaoyun's body. After getting a good look at Xiang Shaoyun's body, he said in astonishment, "What a perfect primal inception energy. It might not be completely pure yet, but this is still an impressive accomplishment. Looks like your talent and your luck are equally impressive. With the Primal Inception Physique showing itself, chaos is coming to the world."

"Master, I had accidentally completed the Desolation mantra. That was how I managed to fuse the nine energies together. All this is thanks to you, master," said Xiang Shaoyun as he told the gravekeeper elder about how he had comprehended the complete Desolation mantra before the Saintly Forest Stele.

The gravekeeper elder nodded and said, "The Saintly Forest Stele is an ancient stele originating from the times of antiquity. It is not surprising that it hid such a secret. However, you being able to complete the Desolation mantra can also be considered as a fortuitous encounter unique to you. Do not think that your path forward will be a smooth one. After forging the Primal Inception Physique, you will become someone all organizations would want to recruit. And if they fail to recruit you, they will likely choose to destroy you instead.

"Also, there are some other rare physiques capable of contending against yours. For example, the Primal Chaos Physique, the Yin Yang Physique, the Innate Golden Buddha Physique, the Boneless Divine Physique, and so on. These are rare but powerful physiques that have already appeared in the world. The owners of these physiques possess incredible cultivation speed and exceptional combat strength.

"The people currently with these physiques have long made their name. Your Primal Inception Physique is still new and still needs more improvement. Only when you truly complete your physique will you be able to surpass everyone, stand above all existence, and dominate the world."

After hearing of the various powerful physiques, Xiang Shaoyun felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. His heart that had recently been getting prideful calmed down.

The Primal Chaos Physique and the Yin Yang Physique were physiques he had witnessed before. However, the two he had seen were physiques that had yet to fully grow up. When those two completed their growth, would he still be stronger than them? As for the Innate Golden Buddha Physique, Boneless Divine Physique, Swordheart Physique, Myriad Devil Physique, and so on, would any of them be weaker than the others?

After learning about all that, Xiang Shaoyun warned himself inwardly, Looks like there is still a long road ahead of me.

"Alright. You don't need to overthink this. The Primal Inception Physique is definitely the strongest physique of all. So long as you can maintain your courage, a day will come when you no longer have an opponent," said the gravekeeper elder. "Now, attack me with all your strength. Also, use your Imperial Nether Clan abilities as well. Let me see just how much you have grown."

"Yes, master," said Xiang Shaoyun as he started attacking.

Imperial Nether Domain!

Nether Yin Gate!

One slash to obliterate the stars!

Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

Instantly, he unleashed all his trump cards.
