Chapter 1366 Definition of Talent

1366 Definition of Talent

After putting away Huang Xiao Liʼs storage ring, Tian Yang went after Kulas, who was waiting for him in the distance.

”What did you find on the ground?” Kulas asked him with a curious gaze.

”A purpose,” he responded in a cold voice.

Seeing his serious expression, Kulas didnʼt question further.

Instead, Tian Yang inquired more information about the Immortalʼs graveyard.

”Tell me more about this Immortalʼs graveyard.”

Kulas nodded and shared his knowledge, ”The Immortalʼs graveyardʼs official name is Han Zexianʼs Tomb. Han Zexian was one of the top Golden Immortals, but he vanished about 30,000 years ago.”

”The Nine Immortal Clans eventually learned that he was last seen in this Desolate Continent and spent the last thousand years looking for him. In the end, all they found was the entrance to a sealed tomb.”

”On the door to the tomb was a clue, which hinted at the Colossal. After eliminating the Colossal, the seal to the tomb was released.”

Tian Yang took a moment to digest this information before asking, ”The Nine Immortal Clans mustʼve expended an immense amount of resources to deal with the Colossal since it took them half a year of constant fighting to defeat it. Are they really allowing everyone to enter it? Sounds a little suspicious.”

”Even the Nine Immortal Clans wouldnʼt dare to be so selfish. If this was just any ordinary tomb, then they wouldʼve been able to do so, but Han Zexian was no ordinary cultivator. He was the first cultivator to ever reach Golden Immortal, and he helped the cultivation scene advance tremendously.”

”He was a public figure who shared his experience and knowledge with as many people as he could. If the Nine Immortal Clans were to dare take his tomb for themselves, you can imagine how the world would react.”

”Han Zexian…” Tian Yang mumbled.

Heʼs heard of this name several times during lectures at the sect, but he never really cared too much about it.

”Though, there is one caveat for making the tomb public. The Nine Immortal Clans get to send in their people first, and nobody can enter for the first seven days. After the seven-day period ends, it will be a free-for-all.”

”But the tomb will open in two days, so there are still nine days before we can enter?”

”Indeed. I came here early to witness the opening of the tomb.” Kulas nodded.

A few minutes later, they encountered a magical beast in the Spirit Emperor realm.

”Donʼt worry, I got this.”

Kulas suddenly charged at the magical beast without any hesitation. Wielding two gauntlets on his fists, he released a powerful punch, striking the magical beast directly between its eyes and killing it in a single strike.

ʼHeʼs a Spirit Emperor at such an age?! He must be a genius from a renowned sect!ʼ Tian Yang was greatly surprised.

It was no wonder he couldnʼt sense Kulasʼ cultivation.

”As long as we donʼt encounter any Spirit Sovereigns or above, Iʼll get rid of them,” Kulas said as he removed his gauntlets.

”How old are you?” Tian Yang asked out of curiosity.

”Iʼm 20 years old,” he calmly said.

”...”

Tian Yang was speechless. Kulas was half his age but had already become a Spirit Emperor. The difference in their talent was so vast that he didnʼt even want to think about it.

At 20 years old, Tian Yang was still a mere Spirit Apprentice. While he most likely started cultivation much later than Kulas, it wouldnʼt have made a difference. Even if Tian Yang started at the moment of his birth, he wouldnʼt have been a Spirit Emperor by now.

Kulas saw the look of defeat on Tian Yangʼs face and smiled, ”Talent isnʼt everything in this world.”

Tian Yang looked at him and sneered, ”Thatʼs easy to say for someone as talented as you.”

Kulas shook his head and said, ”While I may seem talented in your eyes, there are countless geniuses more talented than me. If you ask me what I think is more important than talent, it would be oneʼs fate.”

”No matter how talented one may be, if you were not fated to achieve great things, what use is such talent? Countless geniuses above me have perished before they even got the chance to flourish.”

”What use is fate if you have no talents? Youʼd still live a life as a powerless ant.”

Kulas smiled and said, ”Thatʼs the thing—you donʼt know what fate has in store for you until it happens. While you may be born without talents, whoʼs to say that you wonʼt acquire talents in the future?”

”Acquiring talents? Thatʼs nonsense,” Tian Yang sneered.

”I donʼt know what your definition of talent is, but oneʼs talent is not set in stone. There are countless treasures and mythical techniques out there that can turn someone ordinary into a dragon overnight.”

”...”

Tian Yang could not deny Kulasʼ words.

Kulas suddenly continued, ”Why do you think places like the Immortalʼs graveyard exist? So the rich could get richer? So the talented could become even more powerful? While that is certainly possible and happens all the time, I believe their main purpose is to attract the one with the strongest fate.”

”Who knows, you might acquire Han Zexianʼs legacy and become a dragon.”

”Yeah, right.”

Kulas looked at him with a profound smile and said, ”That said, I think youʼre already quite talented.”

”Me? Talented? Hah! Thatʼs the funniest joke Iʼve heard all decade long!”

”Being able to survive is also a talent. I can tell at a glance that youʼre someone who has encountered countless life-or-death situations—more than anyone that I know. Despite having ʼless talentʼ than those geniuses I know, youʼve managed to survive this long. If that isnʼt a talent. I donʼt know what is.”

”You call that talent? If so, Iʼd rather not have such talents. Whatʼs the point if I keep barely managing to survive like a beggar? Thatʼs just called a struggle.”

”I guess it wonʼt be easy to change your mind, but Iʼm sure youʼll eventually realize the truth.” Kulas laughed heartily.

ʼWhat a weird fellow…ʼ Tian Yang shook his head inwardly.
