C56 Second Thoughts

"Jiang Chen? Woah! So my father was the mc! Hahaha." Kyle laughed on his mind as he heard the child dragon spoke his father's name.

"Hmmm...." Kyle re-organizes his thoughts since he suddenly learned a lot of his body's origins today.

Strangely... When he had learned of the calamity that befalls his Clan. He wasn't so affected by it.

Maybe, because he had no memories of them, or maybe because he wasn't the real Jiang Juxie. He just felt that it was such a wasted opportunity.

If he could have been transmigrated in their clan. He could have a lot of resources to cultivate faster. He could even ask and learn from their elders on how to cultivate properly and gained higher cultivation manuals.

However, he wasn't given such an opportunity and transmigrated on a secluded forest.

Nevertheless, he was already thankful because at least, he had gained the gura gura no mi.

Who knows? He might not have this devil fruit if he had such an advantage on his life, and living on a weak minor world on the early stage of a cultivation life isn't so bad.

Especially for him, a normal human from earth, who lacks the experiences and the cruelty of a strong preys the weak kind of world.

...

He pondered for minutes and asked the child dragon: "You told me that I could be the new owner of this pagoda. What should I do to own this pagoda?"

"Young master... As I said, you are now the future owner of this pagoda, however, you need to be at least on the Saint Realm to control this pagoda. Such as, you still can't enter it."

The child suddenly threw a bombshell on him.

He doesn't know what this Ancient Pagoda could do, but he believed that owning this pagoda could give him a lot of benefits.

"Wai-- wait for a second... Can't enter it? Aren't I already inside the Pagoda?"

"I believe you are mistaken, master. You and that woman out there are only inside a formation. All those trials and floors that you had seen are only the effects of this formation." The child dragon explained with a straight face.

Hearing this made Kyle even more impressed by this so-called formations. He had always thought that the trials they were taking, were inside the Ancient Pagoda.

Who knew... That all this time, they were only inside a grand formation? This really shook him to the core, and his yearning on formations heightened.

"You cannot enter the pagoda before stepping on the Saint Realm, however, you could take its ownership; by refining its Divine Core." The child dragon spoke as he took out a circular transparent boulder, that looked like a diamond.

"This Ancient Pagoda is a Divine class treasure. Even on those Major Worlds, Divine class treasures were very rare. This kind of treasure could cause a calamity in this minor world if the word spreads."

"Fortunately... Those cultivators who had come here cannot recognize it's worth, and those who had higher cultivation were prevented from coming up close, hence no one has still learned of the worth of this pagoda."

"Divine Class Treasures? Are there any classes of treasures?" Kyle asks as he doesn't have any info regarding this.

"Yes, young master. Same as those manuals, treasures could be categorized by Earth, Heaven, Holy, Spirit, and Divine."

"Spirit Treasures and above are treasures that had a spirit inside them. This Spirit of this Ancient Pagoda had been asleep for years now, because of the injury it took in the past. So, you need to refine it's Divine Core to help it recover and wake up." The child moved forward and gave the core to Kyle.

"I just need to refine this?" He asks as he inspected the core on his hands.

"Yes, young master. You just need to instill your Qi inside of it. It would take a couple months before you could finally finish on refining it, so you better hurry up."

"Damn!"

Kyle thought that it was damn too easy to own such a high-class treasure' but the child's next words broke his thoughts.

Truthfully... Using a couple of months to refine a Divine Class treasure wasn't a bad idea.

However... Kyle's situation right now was bad timing to refine this treasure.

Feng Yexue needed to return home fast because of her little sister's sickness. The deadline of her sister's life is almost up, and if you count the traveling time and the remaining time, they don't have a couple of months to spare in this pagoda.

Obviously... Kyle wanted to follow and travel together with Feng Yexue.

However... Because of this current situation, he was now having second thoughts if he should follow her.

The refining process could take a couple of months, so a lot of his time would be wasted, and refining the treasure right now won't be useful since he needed to be on the Saint Realm to enter it, such as it's better to take a pass on refining it for now.

However... It's a Divine Class Treasure! From what he had heard, Divine Class Treasures are something rare, even to those in the Major Worlds, so obviously... It would be much rarer in this world.

He might not be able to use it for now, but what about on the future? Does he also know that taking ownership of it right away was the correct decision since who knows? There might be another young master out there, who could be a descendant of his clan or some bullshit reason and he could've lost this treasure if he delays it.

So, he was having a hard time to decide of his next actions.

The child dragon saw his hesitation, so he asks: "What are you waiting for? This is a good opportunity for you. During the refining process, I could teach you and help you to become a Soul Symbolizer Since seeing someone from the Jiang Clan, especially master's offspring; that wasn't a Soul Symbolizer, would be such a waste.

The child gave Kyle more temptation to stay and part ways with Feng Yexue.

Kyle also had some problems in following Feng Yexue, because he knew that after they came out of this place. The disparity between the two would be shown clearly.

Feng Yexue was a Saint Realm Cultivator. While as, he is only at the early stages of Xiantian.

Truth be told... He was a lot younger than her, but the gap between the two's cultivation is just too high, and Kyle did not want to look weak, especially before his woman.

Obviously, Feng Yexue did not care about such matters, and Kyle knows this.

However...

Kyle is a man, and no matter how he would see and think about it. He also has his pride' and he can't accept the fact that he would need to rely on her for protection.

He already knew what would happen if he follows her carelessly. As a beauty and a genius, Feng Yexue must have a lot of courters or followers, And if they saw him around her.

They would obviously provoke him, especially since he only had a Xiantian Realm Cultivation. They would felt like he was a toad trying to eat a swan.

Kyle knew, he still couldn't handle Saint Realm Cultivators. Heck... He wasn't even sure if he could fight against a late-stage Xiantian right now.

Such as, he wanted to part ways with her right now until he could have the strength to face her.

Refining the Ancient Pagoda was a good opportunity for him. The child would also help him become a certified Soul Symbolizer, so this was also a huge bonus.

He would also need to explore the misty ruins, so he could cultivate his new found body cultivation manual, hence he needed time to stay in this place.

The pros in staying outweighed the cons, so Kyle decided to stay here.

Besides... It's not like they would break up or something. He just needed some space and time and this was the perfect opportunity.

However, he needed to discuss with her first, so he replied to the child dragon:

"I need time to decide, give me a couple of days." He said as he returns the core to the child dragon.

He then went back to the portal formation and jumped inside.
