A moment later, Aiden composed himself before asking.

"Of course not…"

The mysterious old man waved it off. "Master isn't here either. You don't have to dream about getting to meet him either, you're not qualified to meet them yet."

Aiden was not ashamed upon hearing that and merely took it in his stride and smiled.

Just what did that mean exactly? Who was this 'them' that the old man was referring to?

Could that perhaps mean…

Suddenly, Aiden's heart skipped a beat.

Could it really be a possibility?

No that's impossible. No matter from which angle would one take a gander, THEY could not possibly be still alive… somewhere…

But what if… Could there be a hidden, secret realm…

Was that the same world as the Ancient One?

Since there had never been any signs of Primals found on Eora, or any mention of them on this world at all, did it mean that after achieving perfection in his base form, could he perhaps find a gateway to pass through the void and travel to another world?

Could that world be filled with countless mythical creatures… like his own and the Ancient One? What sort of a vast and vibrant place was that?

Instantly, countless thoughts filled Aiden's mind and he developed a longing interest towards that foreign world.

"Before you, a total of seven people entered the Ancient One's Palace and each of them received a different inheritance. The inheritance you're about to receive is different from theirs. It can be considered as the true legacy of the Ancient One."

At that point, the mysterious old man looked deeply at Aiden before waving his sleeves gently, causing two objects to float in midair.

It was a piece of paper and a gigantic seal.

The paper was written with endless tiny words – Aiden merely swept his eyes across and felt them prickle slightly.

The gigantic seal was circular in shape and golden throughout. On it, the image of a majestic-looking dragon was etched, coiling around it in an almost life-like manner.

The gigantic golden seal hovered in midair, emanating waves of powerful might, as though it could crush the stars and suppress the entire world!

The mysterious old man remarked. "This is the Coiling Dragon Seal. It's a natural, peak-grade quasi-divine artifact, keep it well."

A natural, peak-grade quasi-divine artifact!

Aiden was shocked.

Prior to this, Aiden had never seen nor heard of any artifact of a similar grade! Not even in the hands of those old fogeys still lurking outside the Ancient One's Palace!

The shimmering silver circlet that Hart You brought out shattered his supreme-grade artifact weapon instantly.

That was also the reason why Hart You managed to survive with a sliver of health after receiving Aiden's punch!

Furthermore, Martial Knight realm martial artists were unable to unleash the full might of high grade artifact weapons.

The terrifying burst power of a high grade artifact weapons could only be released in the hands of late stage Martial Masters and above!

"Thank you, senior!"

Aiden did not reject and took over the Coiling Dragon Seal, injecting his own spiritual energy into it.

*Whoosh!*

A bright light shone on the Coiling Dragon Seal and Aiden seemed like he was holding a blazing sun with an intimidating might!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Aiden's expression changed and he shuddered as his wrist sank.

It was unbelievably heavy!

After it was injected with spirit energy, the Coiling Dragon Seal almost caused Aiden to embarrass himself as it weighed down on him.

Now that Aiden had been basicly reborn with a perfected lower reptilian form, his physique had the strength to suppress all other late or peak stage Martial Knight realm martial artists without even taking on his draconic form!

However, despite that, his body experienced a never-before felt pressure from the Coiling Dragon Seal.

The mysterious old man nodded to himself.

He thought that Aiden would definitely embarrass himself since he was unprepared and would be squashed by the Coiling Dragon Seal. The fact that the young man could remain standing without moving had exceeded his expectations.

Clearing away his internal energy, Aiden put the Coiling Dragon Seal away in his system's storage space a couple of moments later.

That was a great treasure!

Delighted, Aiden's gaze shifted towards the floating page at the side expectantly.

The mysterious old man pointed to the page and remarked indifferently. "This is a secret skill created by my master in the past. If you manage to master it, you could already fight against Martial Grandmasters while still at the Martial Knight realm."

"In fact… you can even challenge Martial Grandmaster Ultimate Skills!"

*Psst!*

Aiden's expression changed slightly.

The difference between martial realms were divided into minor and major realms. For example, in Martial Knight realm, early-stage, mid-stage, late-stage, peak and the elusive perfected were minor realms or 'stages' whereas it was a major realm between Martial Knight realm and Martial Master realm.

There was an insurmountable gap between major realms.

It symbolized one breaking free of the restrictions of the universe and extending their lifespans; the difference in strength was even worlds apart.

But right now, the Ancient One's secret skill could allow Aiden to challenge the strength not just one but two major realms above his own!

The mysterious old man's final statement was even more shocking.

"In fact… you can even challenge Martial Grandmaster Ultimate Skills!"

Every single martial artist knew that Martial Grandmaster Ultimate Skills were the extremes of spiritual arts and there were extremely few people who could actually learn and train them.

The reason why many Martial Knight realm paragons wanted to enter the ancient battlefield so that they could progress in their Martial Knight realm was because they wanted to be able to learn the strongest Ultimate Skills when they eventually broke through!

Without further description, the mysterious old man's simple statement had already revealed how terrifying that secret skill was!

Sighing gently, the mysterious old man continued. "The conditions required to cultivate this skill are extremely stringent and after my master created it, nobody else managed to learn it. I hope that you'll be able to succeed."

Even though he said that, it was clear that the mysterious old man did not bear much hope through his tone.

Aiden received the page of sutra and focused his attention. There were three tiny golden words in the middle of the first row – Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual!

Those four simple words caused a terrifying pressure that was shuddering.

For some reason, Aiden felt his body heating up; it was as though an inexplicable power was surging within him!

The mysterious old man's voice sounded once more, "Although you won't be able to transform into a true dragon after attaining greater mastery of the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual, you'll be able to conjure the phantom of an ancient dragon that possesses the true might of the dragons!"

"This world's mortals are weak and have ordinary bloodlines; they can't be compared against the dragons who are extremely powerful from birth. If you want to cultivate the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual, you will have to bathe in the true blood essence of the dragon race!"

"The elixir you consumed earlier was a Blood Flesh Elixir made from the flesh of a fledgling true dragon."

Instantly, Aiden had a look of realization.

That was the reason why he had a sense of familiarity towards the aura given off by the elixir.

Aiden's eyes flickered and he frowned in deep thought.

According to the mysterious old man's words, one could only succeed in training the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual after consuming the blood qi of the dragon race.

He was in a rather unique situation.

He already had the pure essence of a true ancient dragon. Whilst it was just a small essence, at the moment, it have already granted him incredible boons!

Although it was not formed yet, that was the egg of an ancient dragon after all!

"Hehe."

The mysterious old man chuckled coldly. "Don't look down on the fact that it's a young dragon. You were able to receive such immense benefits just by consuming an elixir made from the flesh of a young dragon. If it was an adult true dragon, the power of a single drop of its blood would be enough to destroy you, let alone its flesh!"

Aiden did not doubt that statement at all.

Back then, after he absorbed that dragon egg, his body almost gorged to the point of explosion and it took him a long time to process it completely!

"The conditions required to cultivate the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual are extremely stringent and obtaining the blood essence of the dragon race is merely the beginning. Among the seven people who entered the Ancient One's Palace before you, there were also some of them with potentials comparable to you. However, they were merely slightly inferior."

The mysterious old man said with a trace of pity, "Tsk, tsk. That Draka kid was rather decent as well. However, it was a pity that he couldn't unlock his perfected realm, causing him to miss this great opportunity to get the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual."
