Chapter 370: You Choose Your Path Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After calculating for a long time, Anthony looked up slightly. Sweat was dripping down his little face, and even the aura of his magical power had weakened significantly. It was as if he had just escaped from a bitter battle.

Zoro pulled out some paper to wipe his sweat, and then asked, “Anthony, how is it?”

“From the calculations of the Small Prediction Technique, it is more beneficial for Brother Formick to restore the poisonous body.”

As Anthony’s situation was special, the eleven-year-old had already started to participate in the decisions of important matters in the family. His premonitions would often be used as a primary reference.

Ron pondered. “Alright, we’ve obtained all the information we can obtain. We’ll leave the choice to the Old Ancestor…”

… .

At the same time, in the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family.

Without needing Ron and the others to relay the information, Romo had already heard all their conversation.

He had roughly anticipated what Scheer said earlier about the methods to restore the body and expel the poisons, so he was not surprised.

Of course, from Ron and the others’ perspective, the plan suggested by the knowledgeable Scheer was quite ingenious when compared to the methods they were able to find. However, Romo, who had the System and Faith Points, had a better method.

Excluding the methods to restore the body and expel the poisons, he was more concerned about the nurturing plan for Formick after his poisonous body had been restored.

Romo really did not know how to nurture a poison cultivator.

If Formick really wanted to cultivate poison, then Scheer, the founder of the Poison Sect, would be an instant teacher.

“In that case… Let Formick choose his own path in the future.”

Romo thought for a moment and made a decision.

He had originally wanted to wait for Formick to grow up before making this decision about the future, whether to keep the incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons? However, now that he had already encountered the poison cultivator, this choice was obvious. He would have to face it.

Even if he did not want to make a decision now, it would still be the descendant’s choice.

Just like Anthony’s early breakthrough, when the time came, he naturally broke through.

Although Formick usually did not like to talk to others, an introverted person would think more. His intelligence was not inferior to Anthony’s.

… .

Formick was lying down, looking at the ceiling now, his eyes were unfocused, as if he was thinking about something.

He was already a top Great Mage, so there was no need for him to break through. His daily cultivation was only to stabilize his realm. Moreover, he had encountered that person today, so he could not calm down and cultivate.

Poisonous body, poison cultivator, Poison Sect’s Grandmaster, Scheer…

This was the first time he had seen someone with the same constitution as him. He was a little excited and also felt a sense of closeness, as if he had encountered someone of the same kind.

When the senior poison cultivator, Scheer, had asked about his situation earlier, Brother Ron and his uncle had deliberately been vague. Formick had guessed that there would be another meeting, and the four of them apart from him would all participate. They would definitely talk about the secret of the incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons he had.

Actually, he did not know very clearly… about his background and his parents.

Formick’s memories had started with various family members of the Nicholas family. Having grown up in a large family, he had always been very happy.

Occasionally, he would feel a little lost and regretful. What had happened before he had memories?

Apart from being found by the clansmen together with Sister Lily, and his parents passing away midway, he knew nothing else.

Why they had died, why he had a poisonous body… All these details were completely unknown to him.

Formick had asked the adults in the family, but they all refused to tell him the details. They only told him to wait a little longer. After he had grown up and become a man in the future, he would know everything. Even the Old Ancestor had used the same words.

Formick understood that the reason the adults had not told him directly had to be a combination of considerations. He knew that it had been tough for the adults.

It was not that he was resentful. It was just that sometimes, he would feel very empty, as if a large part of his heart was missing.

Perhaps, that answer was far more brutal than he had imagined. Therefore, they had to wait for him to grow up before… telling him the truth.

However… how much more would he have to grow…

Formick’s eyes became more and more listless, and he gradually closed his eyelids. Soon, he “awakened” again.

It was a bamboo forest, and there was a bamboo table and a bamboo chair. Most importantly, there was a benevolent old man!

Formick’s eyes suddenly flickered and lit up. He immediately ran to the old man and said in surprise, “Old Ancestor!!”

Romo, who had transformed into an old man, smiled benevolently and pulled him to a bamboo chair to sit down. He took the initiative to ask, “Formick, do you know why I am visiting your dream today?”

Formick suppressed his excitement and guessed, “Is it related to Senior Scheer?”

Romo nodded, then shook his head.

“It’s indeed related to him, but the main purpose of my visit in this dream is you.”

Formick was a little stunned. He pointed at himself. “Me?”

“Yes, you.” Romo looked serious. “Formick, do you want to know the details about the incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons and your parents?”

Formick’s eyes flickered, and he nodded repeatedly. “I want to know! Old Ancestor, please tell me!”

… Thirty minutes later.

After listening to Romo’s story, Formick was silent for a long time.

Without a word, he became emotional. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists again… He suppressed his emotions.

He loosened his fists and clenched them again. The surging waves in his heart were indescribable.

As he had asked his elders many times to no avail, Formick had long known that the truth was cruel and heavy. However, despite being mentally prepared, he still could not bear the truth…

“I nearly became the enemy’s puppet. That poison cultivator killed my parents and my family. It was all because of that person!!”

“My incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons turned out to be… a curse that had been watered with the lives of my parents, my family, and others!”

Formick’s emotions were unstable, and his fists had turned pale…

Romo, who was by his side, did not interrupt Formick’s thoughts out of goodwill. His words of comfort were too weak. He had to cross this hurdle himself.

The guise of a temporary avoidance would only worsen the wound and cause greater harm in the future.

However… Romo took a look around and was a little surprised.

At this moment, this illusion was a little distorted, especially at the periphery. It was already showing signs of being on the verge of shattering. Even the entire world was trembling. All these signs meant that the owner of the dream, Formick, had suffered a collision of emotions…

Compared to the cruel reality, this little commotion could only be considered small.

In other words, despite the huge impact, Formick could still stabilize his mind!

He was more tenacious and determined than he had expected!

Romo nodded to himself. Whether it was Anthony or Formick, they were all extremely determined. They were even more determined than some adults.

After quite a while, Formick let out a long breath. His hands were covered in blood, but his eyes were shockingly bright.

“Old Ancestor, what are your thoughts on the incomplete Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons in me?”

“As to whether to keep the Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons or not, I want you to choose for yourself,” Romo said solemnly. “You can either expel the poisons or restore the poisonous body…”

Romo then explained the details of getting rid of the poisons and restoring the poisonous body.

Formick listened quietly, his head lowered in thought.

After a long while, he looked up at Romo with a firm gaze and said in a strong voice, “Old Ancestor, I want to restore the Body of Ten-Thousand Poisons!!”
