"What did you say?!" Sheng Long's words were too shocking for Wu Tian.
He widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears, and felt that Sheng Long was talking nonsense.
He said incredulously, "Lord Sheng Long, what you're saying... isn't it a bit too much."
"Even if you want me to inherit your legacy, you wouldn't say such terrifying things, would you?"
Sheng Long said, "No, I'm not lying to you. You are indeed the Son of Destiny, and the greatest hope of this world."
"Heaven's will has its own arrangements in the darkness. You just need to follow it."
Seeing Sheng Long speak so assertively, Wu Tian couldn't help but look at his own body. He felt that such news was truly astonishing, to the point where he found it difficult to accept.
Before receiving the inheritance from the God of Medicine, he had always thought that his life would just be spent as a village doctor, drifting along without any ambitions.
But now Sheng Long told him that he was the Son of Destiny, that he was born different.
Such a statement, no matter how you looked at it, seemed too absurd to him.
But since Sheng Long said so, what else could he say? Thus, he could only nod and say, "Alright, although I still don't quite understand what you mean, since you've said it, I can only agree."
"Whether I am the Son of Destiny or not, I will give it my all."
"After all, this is the world I live in. If the demon race invades it, it will be of no benefit to me, won't it?"
Sheng Long said, "Yes, I am very pleased that you can think this way. Since you have now reached the level of an immortal, I can teach you some things."
As his voice fell, Sheng Long's eyes lit up slightly, and a golden light cluster floated down, then hovered before Wu Tian.
Within this light cluster, a bone spur was suspended, and golden patterns were carved on the spur. It was evident at a glance that it was no ordinary item.
Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but ask, "Lord Sheng Long, what is this?"
Sheng Long replied, "This is a bone spur from my body. Take out your weapon now, and you will soon know what I am going to do."
Although Wu Tian was confused, he asked nothing more. The Thunderclap Sword immediately appeared in his hand.
The light cluster floated towards the Thunderclap Sword and merged into the sword body, quickly becoming one with it!
"This is..." Seeing this, Wu Tian was very surprised.
At this moment, the appearance of the Thunderclap Sword had changed. The sword edges on both sides were covered in gold.
And on the spine of the sword, a graceful, long dragon was carved, looking full of sacredness.
Without a doubt, after merging with the light cluster, the Thunderclap Sword had been strengthened.
Wu Tian could clearly sense that this was no longer a so-called top-tier spiritual artifact.
Sheng Long explained, "Your weapon was originally a spiritual artifact, but as an immortal, using a spiritual artifact is no longer appropriate. Therefore, I have combined my bone spur with your weapon, transforming it into a top-tier immortal artifact."
"However, with your current strength, it is still far from enough to fully unleash its power."
"Therefore, only later will you understand how much your weapon has improved."
Hearing Sheng Long's words, Wu Tian felt very surprised.
He knew the distinction between spiritual artifacts and immortal artifacts. Immortal artifacts were higher-tier weapons, and even the lowest quality ones would far surpass top-tier spiritual artifacts in quality.
As the saying goes, "To do a good job, one must first sharpen his tools."
With the enhancement of this top-tier immortal artifact, Wu Tian believed that his combat power would surely reach another level.
Afterward, Sheng Long continued, "Besides the weapon, I have one more thing to give you. Keep it safe."
With that, another light cluster descended and flew directly into Wu Tian's mind.
Wu Tian's expression immediately became stiff, and at the same time, it seemed as if the figure of a giant dragon flew across his pupils.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a shocked expression, "This is... a cultivation technique?"
Sheng Long said, "That's right. I have now passed on the 'Sheng Long Jue' to you."
"This is my personal cultivation technique. As long as you can cultivate it to its extreme, you will possess the same power as me."
Wu Tian briefly scanned the 'Sheng Long Jue' in his mind.
He found that the cultivation technique was obscure and difficult to understand, and he couldn't decipher it in a short time. It would require a lot of time to master its contents.
But at the same time, the 'Sheng Long Jue' gave him an extremely powerful feeling.
He could sense that even if he only mastered a little bit, he would probably be able to walk sideways in his current rank.
A feeling of joy immediately surged from his heart. He quickly thanked Sheng Long, "Thank you, Lord Sheng Long! Your junior will definitely do his best to contribute his strength to protect the world!"
Sheng Long said, "Yes, what this world will become in the future will depend entirely on you."
"The consciousness I left in your body is about to dissipate. The path ahead can only be walked by yourself."
"But I believe in your ability, Son of Destiny. If it's you, then you will surely be able to do what neither I nor Tian Feng could accomplish."
"I hope the history of the demon race can be completely ended in your hands."
Wu Tian nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Sheng Long, your junior will not fail the mission! Even if it costs me my life in the end, I will definitely stop the demon race!"
Sheng Long nodded and said, "I am relieved to hear you say that. Time is almost up, so let's end our conversation here. I have made my final arrangements and it's time for me to leave this world."
Wu Tian's heart trembled slightly, and then he cautiously asked, "Lord Sheng Long, have you truly fallen?"
"Your inheritance is still with me, so is there any chance for you to be resurrected?"
Sheng Long was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a chance to be resurrected, but even at my peak, I couldn't achieve such a thing."
"If you want to revive me, then first obtain power that surpasses mine."
Wu Tian also fell silent. The condition for reviving Sheng Long was too harsh.
Although he had readily agreed verbally, he was actually filled with doubt about himself.
Could he truly surpass Sheng Long? If that day came, what would he become?
Seeing his hesitant look, Sheng Long continued, "This is not something you need to worry about now. Focus on the present."
"As long as you can save this world, whether I can be resurrected or not is actually not important at all."
