Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 218: Trust

Becky returned back home, he noticed that Zara was making some medicine for the teacher.

As for Sharky, he was still within the room, and his coughs could occasionally be heard.

Hearing the coughs, Becky’s emotions became quite heavy as he walked over.

"Teacher," he lightly called out while standing at the entrance of the room.

"Come in," the gentle voice sounded out.

Becky opened the door and walked in.

Within the room, a dense smell of medicine floated out.

At the center, Sharky sat on the bed, continuously lightly coughing.

Under the faint sunlight, Sharky’s current appearance was revealed.

He looked quite handsome and his long black hair cascaded down his back, but his face was extremely pale and had no color. He was continuously coughing and looked like he was in great discomfort.

"Why are you back?" Sharky turned and looked at Becky with a gentle smile as he softly asked.

"Teacher..." Looking at Sharky, Becky hesitated before half-kneeling and taking out something.

It was a black gemstone that had been carved into a circle, and it looked quite pretty.

Within it, there seemed to be a unique energy flowing through it, making it look quite special.

"Eh?" Looking at this gemstone, Sharky felt quite surprised and sensed something.

As such, he waved his hand and brought the gemstone before him.

"What is this?" Sharky examined it before softly asking as he looked at Becky.

"This is something that your disciple found on the mountain; it looked quite extraordinary, so I brought it back for the teacher to have a look at," Becky said with a respectful expression.

This was something that Steve had prepared beforehand, and it contained the Devouring Scripture.

Steve had said that he did not intend on revealing himself yet and was not going to show himself before Sharky.

As such, Becky could not reveal his existence and could only use other methods to pass this Devouring Scripture to Sharky.

After passing this Devouring Scripture to Sharky, whether or not he would cultivate it was up to him.

"This is a type of spirit stone that is used for storing information, usually techniques," Sharky smiled as he looked at Becky.

"There is a cultivation technique within this spirit stone; after I break open the runes on it, I will teach the technique within it to you," Sharky said.

"Yes," Becky respectfully nodded and left.

After he left the room, Sharky looked at the gemstone.

"He’s especially passing something to me?"

Looking at the gemstone, Sharky smiled and thought to himself.

He did not completely believe what Becky had said.

With Becky’s Fortune, finding a legacy technique on his way was entirely possible, but it was also likely that this technique had been given to him by that old monster.

Sharky still had not forgotten that there seemed to be an old monster hiding in Becky’s body.

In recent days, Becky’s Fortune had broken out; perhaps that old monster had awoken too.

It was equally likely for this gemstone to have been found by Becky, or for it to have been given to him by the old monster.

Thinking there, Sharky’s expression was calm as he tightly gripped the gemstone. His magic energy surged out and his Fortune Mark was also activated as he wiped away the rune on the gemstone, causing the information within it to be revealed.

Large amounts of information flooded into Sharky’s mind.

Following this, Sharky gained information about the Devouring Scripture.

"This is..."

Sensing the information in his mind and learning about the Devouring Scripture, even Sharky’s expression slightly changed. But not more than this, because it was not worth even one percent of Devourer’s power.

"Devouring others’ constitutions and bloodlines to cause one’s body to transform..."

Going through the information in his mind, Sharky was a little bit angry, "Disgusting..."

He was now more or less confident that this technique had been given to Becky by that old monster.

Otherwise, things would not be this coincidental.

Sharky’s current predicament was because his cultivation foundation had been destroyed.

Forget about Devourer Scripture, just by using Devourer’s power. He could restore his cultivation foundation. And also without any side effects.

But what about the soul? Soul is the most important.

It would be too big of a coincidence for Becky to pick up such a perfect technique by chance.

"Devouring Scripture..."

Thinking of the Devouring Scripture, Sharky thought of Becky’s body.

With Becky’s body, ordinary methods could not change his constitution, but this Devouring Scripture could.

Moreover, if Becky was savage enough and devoured enough constitutions and bloodlines, he would go from being trash to a genius who could rival true geniuses.

It was as if this technique was made for someone like Becky.

"So this is Fortune..." thinking about Becky’s Fortune breaking out, Sharky thought to himself.

But this Scripture is very dangerous, it makes the people become crazy, savage and bloodthirsty. So disgusting.

And if the person wanted to avoid this kind of influence, they had to find existences with similar bloodlines, which were usually people of the same family or clan.

Killing one’s family to grow their constitutions and bloodlines; this was undoubtedly an evil path.

———

"The restrictions I left in the gemstone have already been undone by your teacher."

While Sharky was going through the Devouring Scripture, Steve’s voice sounded out in Becky’s mind.

His tone was one of surprise and hid traces of respect, "Incredible. Even those old monsters would take a few days to undo it, but he only used this long? Your teacher is not simple."

However, Becky was not paying much mind to what Steve was saying.

Right now, his attention was on something else.

Becky felt quite worried as he asked, "Grandfather... Do you think teachers will cultivate the Devouring Scripture?"

Steve replied, "I’m not sure. But the Devouring Scripture should be able to heal him."

"Your teacher seems like an upright person and is not a hypocrite like those other old monsters.

"Even though these people are quite rare, such inflexible people do exist, so it’s difficult to say whether or not he will use it."

"However, if he really does use it, then you will be in danger," Steve’s voice once again sounded out.

"Why’s that?" Becky frowned as he asked.

Steve’s voice was calm as he said, "What do you think? It’s not too bad for you, since your constitution is useless, but your little sister..." Steve said somewhat teasingly.

"Little sister..." Becky paused and his expression fell.

Indeed, the cultivation of Devouring Scripture required the cultivator to devour many constitutions and bloodlines.

Compared to Becky, Zara’s talent was very good. Not only did she have a complete Spirit Root, there also seemed to be something special about her constitution.

What’s more, she was only at Foundation Building, and her cultivation was quite weak.

Someone like her was a perfect target for someone who cultivated the Devouring Scripture.

If Sharky really cultivated the Devouring Scripture, would he set his sights on Zara?

Becky’s heart thumped as he thought to himself.

From an emotional standpoint, he felt that this was not very likely.

However, from a rational standpoint, he had to admit that this was a possibility.

Life and death was simply too terrifying.

Even family members who normally got along amicably and lovingly might change in the face of life and death.

Moreover, this person was a cultivator.

Most cultivators were incredibly cold and selfish.

Even though Sharky outwardly looked quite young, for him to have this kind of cultivation, he was most likely an old monster.

Those who were old monsters typically didn’t have a very good reputation.

Could Sharky be an exception?

At this moment, Becky could not help but feel quite worried.

"Feeling troubled, aren’t you?"

Within Becky’s mind, Steve’s cold voice sounded out, "No matter when it is, don’t easily trust anyone."

"No matter if it’s your family or your teacher, they might act against you for certain things. This is my first lesson for you."

Steve continued to speak calmly, "Don’t worry, you’re still young, and if it really comes to that, I will block things for you. However, remember this lesson in the future. Do not trust anyone except yourself."

"Does that... include you, grandfather?" Becky fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking.

Steve was taken by surprise before giving a pleased laugh.

"Naturally," he said softly without any hesitation.

———

"Becky," Becky hears Sharky calling him.

And he quickly goes inside the room. He was also a little worried, "What happened, teacher?"

He noticed, angry expression on his teacher.

"I don’t care, from where you have picked up this shit, but from the next time you promised me, that you will never pick shit like this."

Sharky shouted at him, but through him, he was indirectly shouting at the old monster behind him.

"Why teacher?" Becky looked puzzled, but he was also happy from inside.

"You know, what this shit is. This is some evil guy devouring scripture. Which can devour other’s constitutions and bloodlines to cause one’s body to transform. But it will make them crazy, savage, bloodthirsty even worse than a beast."

"And if even make someone to kill their own family, kin. This is the most disgusting technique I have ever seen."

Sharky shouted at him.

"Forgive me, teacher," Becky started apologizing to Sharky.

"You want to see Devourer power, then I will show you, come with me," Sharky shouted, as he brought Becky with him.

Becky didn’t know what his teacher was going to do.

"You know, in the air there is so much spirit qi, right," Sharky asked looking at him.

"Yes, teacher." Becky nodded.

"Now, focused," Sharky said, as he started breathing the air by opening his mouth.

"What is your teacher doing?" Steve was confused that he didn’t understand Sharky’s action.

Becky also didn’t understand, but soon, they got their answer, when Sharky from his hand started creating the Spirit Core Crystal.

"What the fuck?" Even Steve was shocked to see this. This was the most amazing thing he was seeing in his life.

"You have seen this Becky. I have power to devour the spirit qi, so, if I wanted to devour someone, I have already done it."

Sharky said, looking at Becky, but his main focus was on the old monster inside the pendant of Becky.

"Now, let me show you the effect of the disgusting devourer scripture," Sharky said, as he arrived in a forest.

With just his one slash, few wolves died. And then Sharky used the Devourer Scripture and soon the wolves’ corpses became dried corpses.

And he then gives all of the power which devoured from the wolves to Becky.

Becky soon started feeling uncomfortable, as he felt savage and bloodthirsty.

But with a sigh of Sharky, the discomfort of Becky disappeared.

"You have seen this, what happens when you train with the devourer scripture," He asked looking at him.

Becky nodded.

Then Sharky returned with Becky inside his room.

"Go, call your sister," He commanded him.

Becky nodded, and brought Zara inside the room.

"What happened, teacher?" Zara asked, looking at him.

Seeing Zara, he patted her head.

"I am going to go," Sharky smiled and said softly.

Hearing this, Becky and Zara both immediately looked up.

"Teacher, where are you going?" Zara asked reluctantly.

"A place very far away; my homeland," Sharky replied with a gentle expression.

"Teacher’s homeland?" Zara felt quite curious, "What is it like?"

"It’s a very good place," Sharky said as he smiled, "There is very little conflict there and the people don’t have to worry about not having food to eat. Everyone can study and learn martial arts..."

A look of longing appeared on Zara’s face as she asked, "Can you bring us as well? I don’t want to leave you, teacher."

On the side, Becky did not say anything, but he also looked quite reluctant. He knew, it was also his mistake, that he gave the Devourer Scripture to the teacher.

"I don’t want to leave you two either," Sharky stretched out his hand and patted Zara’s head.
