002-Great Desolate Halberd Art

The martial arts panel works by exchanging "Energy" to generate points, the source can be variable, but through Situ Heian's experiments so far, he has determined that the best ones are the stones of true essence that, through the conversion of the panel, an ordinary grade true essence stone equals one point.

The points can be used for various purposes, he has not yet been able to actively test their uses, but so far he has used them to break bottlenecks and constantly improve in cultivation. With this, he managed to achieve pulse condensation at the age of 8 after only 2 years of cultivation without using any advanced methods or techniques, using only the basic cultivation techniques taught to him by the Situ family instructors. Despite that, the techniques are not bad, they are techniques used to establish a stable foundation from the stages of body tempering to pulse condensation, they are basic but in the continent, they are among the best.

Now that he has achieved pulse condensation at such a young age, he will receive more attention from the Situ family, which consequently will provide more resources, and he will be able to further test the capabilities of the panel. Despite being the son of Situ Haotian, the divine emperor of the Asura divine kingdom, he did not have many privileges in terms of resources. With the large number of descendants of the Situ family, he would not pay attention to a son of a small concubine in some random harem. He could have received more advantage due to his Extreme Violet Dantian, but he was unlucky because when he was born there was no powerful cultivator nearby capable of sensing the extreme violet dantian, he only had a chance to show that he had it when he was taken at the age of six by the instructors to start cultivating. If he hadn't been so unlucky, he would probably be in a completely different place by now. From what he remembers in the novel, everyone born with the extreme violet dantian was the result of intense planning in the direct line of the Situ family clan, like Situ Yaoyue and her younger sister who was kept in maximum secrecy by the Asura divine kingdom throughout her life. Situ Yaoyue was only revealed in the final moments of the Asura divine kingdom.

Since he was already six years old at the time, the Situ family clan chose to leave him in the light instead of making him one of the ascetics for now, hoping to train him as the future crown prince. However, until he passes the royal family's smelting test at the age of 15, he will not have any giant leap in status by the Situ family clan.

However, this does not stop him from gaining many advantages over other individuals, such as those from his mother's family, Xuan Yue. His mother was not an incredible cultivator, nor was she especially favored by the Emperor. The only thing she had was being a descendant of the Imperial Scholar Xuan, which in reality wasn't very useful. Before it was discovered that he had an extreme violet dantian, Imperial Scholar Xuan didn't even know she existed. For an individual who was over 1500 years old, she was just one of his many descendants.

"You truly are a genius, already at pulse condensation in such a short time." A very cute and adorable little boy spoke cheerfully, walking alongside Situ Heian. "Your future is limitless, boy."

Situ Heian put a funny smile on his face as he looked at the little boy. "Ancestor, are you sure that if I practice your Samsara Devil Arts I won't end up with a child's body forever?"

This little boy was the Imperial Scholar Xuan. He was over 1500 years old and a cultivator of the 6th Life Destruction. He looked like a little boy because he fell into depravity while cultivating his Samsara Devil Arts, and the more he practiced, the younger his appearance became. Now, he remained like this. Once he consumed some of his cultivation to revert his appearance, but it didn't take even a few decades for him to revert again. Now, he could only remain like this.

Imperial Scholar Xuan coughed lightly and spoke. "Don't worry about that, Situ Heian! The Samsara Devil Arts will present that risk only at a certain level, and you don't need to worry about it because of your talent!"

After walking for a while, the two arrived at a large purple pagoda. This was the repository of the imperial palace of the Asura divine kingdom, containing various techniques of the demonic path. It wasn't the largest or most precious in the Asura divine kingdom, but it contained a large part of the cultivation methods up to life destruction.

Situ Heian came here to obtain the Great Desolate Halberd Art from the Demon Emperor. The Asura divine kingdom claims to be a descendant of the Demon Emperor, but in reality, they only found a mystical realm with part of the Demon Emperor's heritage. So, they plundered the mystical realm, and one of the things they obtained was the Great Desolate Halberd Art, which became one of the favorite methods of the Situ family clan from lower members to emperors who cultivated it.

"Ah, Imperial Scholar Xuan and Prince Heian, I have already prepared the jade slip of the Great Desolate Halberd Art as requested." Said an old man wearing a black robe at the door of the large pagoda with a small jade in his hand.

Situ Heian took the jade slip containing the Great Desolate Halberd Art from the old man's hands and thanked him before being led by Xuan to another place.
