That was when everyone noticed that. That was surprising indeed because they heard that from stage ten, the opponents were already early stage dao ancestors.
Aolig is just a mortal-dust realm brat!
"What a cunning artifact spirit!" Ranly Gwamho said.
Being from Gwamho clan who are well known for deduction and calculation it was easy for him to deduce it.
"It obviously favours Aolig and Tarh because of their bloodlines," another ancient existence said.
Most people agreed with him. During ancient era, bloodline is the most important thing in determining inheritance, family position and resources allocated to individuals.
It is not surprising that the artifact spirit will be prejudiced against others since his master is from a fiendcelestials lineage.
Back in the cave abode, Aolig saw herself in a well furnished room. There was table with an ink and paper radiating a powerful darkness law, the table itself is a transcendent artifact.
She was still hesitating until she heard a creaking sound as another person came in. She turned and it was Tarh.
Tarh himself was very surprised, of all the people he expected to see he never envisioned that it would be Aolig.
"Aolig?" he called to be sure it was not an illusion.
It was when he saw her warm smile that he knew that all this is real.
Aolig wanted to ask him something before the artifact spirit reappeared before them.
"Congratulations on passing the trials set by master. You are now eligible to receive everything here including this artifact. My name is Ken," the artifact spirit said excitedly.
"Aolig Eyme has seen senior"
"Tarh Vaharyl has seen senior"
They bowed and introduced themselves.
'It seemed that it is fate, both clans are ancient clans and direct descendants of ancient ancestors,' the artifact spirit thought.
"This cave abode is a defensive primal treasure," he enticed.
Both Tarh and Aolig's heart started beating faster. That is a primal treasure. In the multiverse, how many primal treasure are there?
Great emperor realm is a journey towards detachment, hence the treasure they use is very rare as it is mostly product of nature or chaotic tools!
Every clan would increase its strength with addition of a primal treasure. Both Aolig and Tarh looked at each and smiled. There was no hostility at all.
Ken nodded inwardly. I definitely made the right choice.
"However to possess it, there is a ritual that must be done. It was set up by master. He loved his wife a lot so this technique involves both a man and a woman to comprehend it together and then retrieve the treasure," ken explained.
However he kept out the key points hidden. Patriarch of darkness clan the dark emperor set up the rule of dual cultivation for his inheritance. He was a man infatuated with love.
"We are ready!" both Aolig and Tarh said together.
Is it not just learning a technique. They can manage.
The artifact spirit looked at them pitiful.
"I hope I did the right thing," he murmured to himself.
The artifact spirit gave the spirit wine prepared by dark emperor. The name of the wine is 'love tribulation'
It facilitates learning dual cultivation techniques. It also heals internal injuries, watches the marrow and increase cultivation realm.
The side effects is that the duo might be drunk for days or a week without knowing what was going on.
Moreover the only way to get rid of it is through dual cultivation!
Both Aolig and Tarh took the wine and gulped it down in one go. They felt hot all over.
They subconsciously operated their cultivation techniques to digest it but found out that it was not working.
