Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 216: Mysterious Grandfather

Sitting on the bed and looking at Becky and Zara departing, Sharky slowly closed his eyes.

Time gradually passed.

In the following days, Sharky remained at this place to teach Becky and Zara.

Although Becky’s body had issues, his comprehension was very outstanding.

Even some things that true cultivators would find hard to understand were easily comprehended by him.

As for Zara, this was even more so the case—her talent and comprehension were all top-notch.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was still young and Sharky had suppressed the progress of her cultivation, she might have already completed Foundation Building.

Soon, one year had passed.

Outside, Becky was wearing a beastskin cloak and had a wild boar on his back as he slowly walked in.

After one year, he had gone through many changes. Not only was his figure more well-built and taller, but his aura had also greatly changed, becoming much more confident.

During this year, after having his body cleansed many times by Sharky using magic energy, his body had finally become better. Even though it was still quite difficult for him, he could internalize qi by himself.

His qi internalizing speed was still quite slow, but with spirit stones and spirit pills from Sharky, his speed was not too bad.

After putting down the wild boar, he went towards the innermost room.

Before he entered, he could hear light coughing from within.

Hearing these sounds, he frowned.

"Teacher’s body still has not recovered," hearing the coughing from within, he could not help but sigh.

After one year had passed, his surroundings had greatly changed.

Zara had completed Foundation Building and was beginning to go through Qi Refining. She was on the path of cultivation and had become a cultivator.

What was worrying was that Sharky’s body still had not recovered.

On the other hand, it seemed that whatever was ailing him was becoming worse and worse.

Half a year ago, Sharky looked normal, apart from his face being a bit pale.

However, now, he would often cough to the point that his body sometimes trembled, making Becky feel pained.

It was just that he was unable to do anything about this.

At the end of the day, he was still a mortal who had not even completed Foundation Building; what could he do?

Standing there, he sighed before walking in.

Within the room, Sharky was sitting on the bed as he continuously coughed.

His face was incredibly pale and had no color to it.

Standing in front of him, Zara wore white robes and was gently patting his back with a look of worry on her face.

"Teacher."

Seeing Sharky like this, a look of worry appeared on Becky’s face.

"You’re back."

Sitting on the bed and looking at Becky, Sharky smiled before pointing, "Have a seat."

"How were your gains this time?" he asked.

"Not too bad. I caught some prey.," Becky said honestly.

Sharky smiled and said, "Not bad. Perhaps it is because of your body, even without completing Foundation Building, you have done well with the Body Forging Technique from the Feather Scripture."

"Normal beasts will not be able to harm you. For you to reach this level, I am at ease."

Following this, he began to cough again.

"Teacher."

Zara looked at Sharky worriedly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Sharky shook his head, "It’s fine. I’m alright. You two can go out; I want to rest."

Becky opened his mouth but chose not to say anything. In the end, he did not say anything and left with Zara.

After they left, the door was closed, leaving behind only Sharky.

He sat on the bed and shook his head.

"It’s getting worse and worse..." he lightly coughed, a bit of blood appearing on his palm.

Looking at the blood, he felt quite frustrated, "Things have become this bad so quickly."

His body’s decline was faster than he had expected.

He had thought that he would be able to last for three or four years, but now, it seemed that two years would be his limit.

Moreover, the changes in Becky and Zara were faster than he thought as well.

Recently, he had found that their Fortune had become more active and showed signs of breaking out.

Fortune breaking out indicated that they were going to break free from their current circumstances and begin to rise up.

He just wondered how it would happen.

As their Fortune began to break out, Sharky made a decision.

Sharky smiled, "It’s just a pity that I’ll never know just how far you’ll go."

Thinking about it, he felt that it was quite a pity.

On the other side, Becky was sitting in front of a small creek as he sighed and thought to himself, "Teacher’s illness is becoming worse and worse..."

Even though Sharky said he was fine, Becky could tell that he was just hanging on.

If his situation became worse and worse, then...

Thinking about it, he felt quite sad.

Over the past year, he had really come to see Sharky as his teacher.

During this year, after taking in Becky and Zara as his disciples, he had patiently taught them, as well as provided them with large amounts of spirit pills and spirit stones.

For someone to treat them so well, it was incredibly rare.

Even though Becky had just wanted to use Sharky at the start, in the end, he really did begin to think of him as his teacher.

"There have been rumors that Golden Dragon Grass has appeared in the Desolate Forest. It’s a peerless medicine and if I can get some, perhaps..."

Standing in front of the creek, he looked in a certain direction as he suddenly thought to himself.

It was said that someone found some Golden Dragon Grass in the depths of the Desolate Forest.

As soon as this news was spread, many people began to gather there.

Golden Dragon Grass was a unique spirit grass.

It was said that it was the main ingredient of Golden Dragon Pills, and it had immense medicinal properties.

With the Golden Dragon Grass, no matter how grave the injury, it could be healed.

Even if someone had stopped breathing the previous moment, they could become revitalized in the next.

Becky did not know how much use the Golden Dragon Grass would be to Sharky, but from what the legends said, it should be of some use.

Perhaps it could even cause Sharky to make a full recovery.

"Let alone the Golden Dragon Grass, even a Golden Dragon Pill would be useless," a cold voice suddenly sounded out.

"Who is it?!" Becky’s body froze as he instinctively spoke, his body feeling numb.

Was there someone listening nearby?

However, a voice sounded out in his mind.

The cold voice continued to speak, sounding a bit teasing, "What nonsense. There’s no one nearby; I’m in your body."

"In my body..." Becky shivered as many thoughts appeared in his mind.

Over the past year, Sharky had taught them much knowledge about cultivation, including some things about possession.

At this moment, Becky thought of this.

As such, he instinctively looked into the distance, where Sharky’s room was.

Those who could possess others were all old monsters.

Facing these old monsters, ordinary people would not be a match for them.

Only Sharky might be able to deal with them.

He quickly thought to himself.

It was as if that voice could read Becky’s mind, and it continued to speak, "What nonsense. Possession? Why would anyone want to possess you?"

"Didn’t your teacher tell you that possession targets at the very least have complete Spirit Roots?"

"Who would want to possess someone with as bad talent as you?"

Becky was stunned before coming back to his senses.

That made sense; he did not have to worry about this at all.

With his garbage talent, no one would want to possess him.

According to Sharky, if someone wanted to possess someone else, they had to fulfil three conditions: they had to have a similar cultivation foundation, a complete Spirit Root, and talent.

A complete Spirit Root was one of the most important requirements; even if someone tried to possess someone without a complete Spirit Root, it would just result in failure.

Right now, Becky did not know whether to rejoice or to cry.

So the worst thing in this world was not being possessed but not even having the qualifications to be possessed.

Thinking there, he inwardly sighed before asking, "Who are you then?"

He felt quite wary.

This person had suddenly appeared within him and seemed to have been watching him for a long time.

Putting aside the possibility of possession, he was still unable to relax.

After all, even though he could not be possessed, that was not the case for those around him.

If this person wanted to possess his little sister, he would not be able to accept it either.

It was even possible that this person was Sharky’s enemy; if he brought him over, wouldn’t he be helping the enemy?

The voice sounded out in frustration, "Stop thinking nonsense. Didn’t we meet long ago?"

"Meet long ago?" Becky felt quite stunned.

Following this, some mist appeared before his eyes, and an elder’s figure was revealed; this elder seemed incredibly familiar.

"It’s you!"

Looking at this person, memories flashed in Becky’s mind.

Back then, when he was young, a tragedy had happened.

The Adison family had fallen on hard times and their enemies came to attack them.

At the most critical moment, a black-robed elder had appeared, blocking those enemies.

Those things had happened when Becky had been very young; if it was any ordinary person, they would have forgotten about it already.

However, Becky was different.

As a transmigrator, he remembered practically all of his memories since he was young.

As such, he immediately thought of that person’s identity.

"You were that grandpa who appeared that time," he said as he looked at that person.

"Hmph, your memory is pretty good."

Looking at Becky, the elder smiled and said, "You’ve grown much over the years."

He looked at Becky with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Senior, you... just who are you?" Becky asked.

Just who was this person? Why did he save them back then and appear again now?

Standing before Becky, the elder stood with his hands behind his back, "I... According to mortal concepts, I am your grandfather, the father of your mother."

"Grandfather..." Becky felt quite stunned.

He examined the elder closely and discovered something.

The elder indeed had some features that looked quite similar to his, especially the shapes of their faces.

"My mother’s father..." Becky muttered, seeming to believe him.

His mother in this life was indeed quite mysterious; not only had she left when he was young, she had also not left any information behind.

The only thing she had left behind was the pendant in front of his chest.

Pendant...

Thinking about that pendant, he brought out the pendant and said, "You... were in here this whole time?"

The elder nodded, his expression still somewhat cold, "You’re quite smart. When you were born, I was already in this pendant, watching over you."

"This was something used as a protective measure, as well as to help you cultivate. However, I had never thought that the Adison family would be attacked, forcing me to block those people.

"After that, my soul was forced into a slumber and only recently awoke," he said softly.

Becky came to a realization.

So this pendant was something that his mother and the elder had left behind for him, so he could inherit their legacies and step onto the path of cultivation.

It was just that because the Trevor family’s enemies had attacked, the elder had been forced to act back then.

"So you understand now."

In front of the creek, the elder’s expression was calm as he told Becky many things.

His name was Steve and was Becky’s grandfather.
