The Last Primal

Although he had already started cultivating a long time ago, he had only just begun on the long path of cultivation.

"How do you learn and more importantly, train divine powers?"

Aiden asked excitedly.

Shaking his head gently, Ward Atrez replied, "You are too far from being able to do anything with divine powers and even I'm unable to train them. Martial Grandmasters are merely specks of dust in the grand picture of things. Thereafter comes an entirely different world, the world that transcends mortality where they are known as Divine Beings, or in some cultures Gods. The first step in that journey, once one breaks through entirely and not that fake Quasi-Divine rank, would be the Lesser God Realm. Even after that is the True God realm where one will be known as a true Divine Figure. Lastly, they will reach the Medium God realm and become the true leaders, known as Patriarchs!"

"One is only qualified to cultivate the art of divine powers when they are at the Medium God realm."

Aiden was a little disappointed.

He was only at Martial Knight realm right now and even the Martial Grandmaster realm was far from his reach, let alone the Medium God realm.

However, on second thought, he exclaimed softly and asked with a frown, "However, that elderly beast, that swan has just broken through and is only equivalent to a Lesser God. How is she able to comprehend divine powers?"

"That's because she's a demonic beast."

Ward Atrez replied, "After Martial Grandmaster realm, demonic beasts would comprehend a divine power with every step they advance thereafter. The purer their bloodline, the more frightening the divine powers they comprehend would be!"

Suddenly, Aiden's eyes shimmered when he heard this as he was enlightened about something.

Thinking about these things, he asked again after a while.

Aiden asked again. "Beasts are already able to comprehend innate divine powers at the Lesser God realm. Since divine powers are so strong, how do normal martial artists deal with them?"

Ward Atrez replied, "Once a human enters the Lesser God realm, they would naturally undergo transformations as well and be able to sense heaven and earth while summoning supreme spiritual powers. At that point, the heaven and earth essence of the Lesser Gods, that they conjure would be able to fight against the innate divine powers of the demonic beasts race!"

Aiden seemed to have an understanding.

It was the same as when in Eora, the creatures formed their first Inner Cores. At that point, the strength and speed would increase exponentially and their physiques would reach a terrifying level of toughness that weak humans or the other races that had no cores couldn't fight against.

However, after the elites of the human race formed their Martial Masters, they would be able to produce Martial Master phenomenons.

The immensely powerful phenomenons, these mysterious arts could enable them to fight against demons!

From the point where they were enslaved in the primordial era to their rise in the ancient era, the training methods of the various ideologies of the mortal, modern races had matured for a long time.

The rise of the human race was definitely not due to luck!

"With this act, I have already severed my karma, it's time for me to leave."

Ward Atrez left a single remark and did not linger further, soaring into the skies before speeding into the distance.

"Young Master Atrez!"

The old heavenly swan called out hurriedly when she noticed that.

In the eyes of the younger generation, Ward Atrez was a cold and indifferent old monster.

However, more than a thousand years ago when he joined Azure Myst Sect, he was still a child.

The old heavenly swan had seen him grow up and advance step by step.

Ward Atrez's figure staggered for a brief moment but did not turn back. He continued heading forward and disappeared into the horizons before long.

When he saw that, Aiden came to a sudden realization.

The reason why Azure Myst Sect lingered so long in Azure Myst Sect after the battle was not merely because of him.

Ward Atrez was worried about the old heavenly swan's safety and was actually defending her in silence here!

Given Ward Atrez's character, he would definitely not admit to something like this.

The old heavenly swan had a conflicted expression and sighed gently.

Aiden could vaguely sense that there was something more as to why Ward Atrez betrayed Azure Myst Sect and joined the fiend sect, Asura Sect, more than a thousand years ago.

The old heavenly swan turned and transformed into a middle-aged redheaded beauty. She had blushed fair skin and looked to be in her early thirties.

Waving her arm casually, her robes extended thousands of feet away and brought Aiden before her instantly.

"Congratulations, senior!"

Aiden was truly elated when he saw that the old heavenly swan was able to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth and extend her lifespan.

With the addition of a new Lesser God expert, itinerant martial artists in the territory of would definitely want to join Azure Myst Sect in the future and the rise of the sect was certain.

"No. In reality, I should be the one thanking you."

The old heavenly swan smiled and looked towards a spot in the forest outside of Azure Myst Sect. "Just from the fact that you showed up, as well as he did… Someone special must have sent a message for Young Master Atrez to arrive in time. I suppose that has something to do with you?"

Aiden remained silent.

"I don't have any biases towards the 'evil' sects. Head over there and take a look, someone has been waiting for you for a long time," The old heavenly swan pointed to a deep portion of the forest and said with a smile.

"Alright."

Aiden smiled and activated his internal energies vanishing from where he stood and turning into a blur, speeding towards the forest in the next moment.

In the depths of the forest, a pink figure stood upright with black hair that fell like a waterfall. Her long dress accentuated her curvy figure to its best.

The veil on the girl's face had already been removed and she was smiling towards his direction with a peerlessly flawless face.

"Thank you for that."

Aiden was silent for a long time after arriving before finally speaking.

"Pfft!"

Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa could not help but stifle a laugh.

Blinking her eyes, she skipped around gently and closed in to Aiden playfully.

A fragrance wafted over.

Their cheeks were extremely close together and Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa asked with a sweet breath. "How are you going to thank me?"

With that said, she bit her cherry lips in a seemingly dissatisfied manner and looked at Aiden expectantly.

He lowered his gaze with the calmness of an old monk. Not daring to meet with her gaze, he took a step back instead.

After not seeing her for half a year, Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa's charm techniques had gotten even more terrifying.

Aiden lamented to himself, "Seems like she has gotten quite a few opportunities in the Ancient One's Palace back then as well."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa returned to normal and chuckled before remarking with a relaxed tone, "You don't have to thank me since you've saved me before as well."

Aiden heaved out a sigh of relief.

After a brief silence, Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa whispered, "You offended so many people in the Ancient One's Temple's battlefield before, why didn't you join the fiend sects together with Senior Asura? Although he is cold, indifferent and doesn't care about relationships, I can tell that he seems to treat you rather specially."

Aiden shook his head.

Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa continued, "There's another 20 years to go before the intermediate ancient battlefield opens up. Azure Myst Sect doesn't have the strength and isn't able to break through the barriers to enter the intermediate ancient battlefield as well. At that time, remember to come look for me. I'll bring you in."

"We'll discuss it again. In any case, there's 20 more years to go. There's no hurry."

"I'll… make a move first?"

"Yes."

Seeing that Aiden had no intention of asking her to stay, Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa was secretly frustrated and harrumphed gently in a begrudging manner.

She had just turned around when his voice sounded, somewhat hesitantly.

"What's the meaning of the Pure Maiden Sect's mate?"

Holy Maiden Sylvie Dewa's back was facing Aiden and a hint of shyness flickered through her eyes. Hiding it swiftly, she turned around with a fake smile. "What do you think it means?"

There was a saying in the martial world that mates were members of the opposite sex captured and used by evil martial artists to increase their power realms. They would use these vessels, these hosts to do a secret technique by using the captured internal energy during an intercourse to replenish their own or vice versa.

These mates were akin to slaves and most of them ended up in miserable states, dying from a complete exhaustion of their own essences.
