Could it be that this Divine Seal is waiting for a genius to become its master?
Is it left by that Emperor-level powerhouse to choose disciples for inheritance?
"So, Senior Jiang created the Martial Arts Garden to search for talents to come here?"
"Yes... and no."
Jiang Taiyi sighed lightly, "I personally cultivated several geniuses, some of whom reached the Innate Second Realm at your age, and even surpassed you in terms of realm, yet none of them ever returned once they entered the Abyss."
Lin Chen noticed a hint of sorrow in Senior Jiang's eyes. Even though his purpose in cultivating those disciples was to suppress the black mist, there was a real master-disciple bond. Several disciples died in the Abyss; to say he wasn't saddened is impossible.
The Myriad Phenomena Realm is lofty, but that's towards those with no connection. How could there be no feelings for disciples he personally cultivated?
