Chapter 2733
My Substitute CEO Bride
"Long time no see, Nashy."
Upon hearing these words, Nash became even more certain. The person before him was indeed his master!
"H-How did you end up here?" Nash asked, his voice slightly choked.
Johnathan pointed at the cave entrance and asked, "Shall we go inside to talk?"
Suddenly, Nash recalled the words of the All Souls Token. "Why? Can't we talk here?"
Johnathan smiled gently, revealing a look of reassurance.
"I see. It seems you've inherited the Six Ritualistic Weapons."
Nash felt bewildered; his master actually knew about the Six Ritualistic Weapons.
"Master, how do you know about that?"
Johnathan sat cross-legged at the cave entrance.
"Nashy, you must have many questions. Don't worry. Today, I'll answer them one by one."
"But-"
Before Nash could finish, Johnathan interrupted, "You must have heard about Amulet Glory from others, right?"
Nash nodded.
Johnathan continued, "But they probably don't understand it well. Amulet Glory is not just for conferring the position of a Heavenly Master and their power. It's more like a physical constitution.
"Those endowed with Amulet Glory can not only reduce the difficulty of cultivation but also possess a particularly important ability. It can guide them onto the correct path and help them become a human emperor."
"Become a human emperor? How can Amulet Glory be related to the Six Ritualistic Weapons?" Nash felt confused.
Johnathan explained leisurely, "Indeed, they seem unrelated. But they originate from the same force. The Six Ritualistic Weapons are the miracles left behind by the human emperor. And did those miracles appear out of thin air? Of course not. "It's said that the human emperor possessed the complete cultivation methods of all sects at that time. He integrated them and ultimately forged the Six Ritualistic Weapons from the initial core.
"And that initial core is Amulet Glory. The origins of Amulet Glory have always been shrouded in mystery. Some say that Amulet Glory actually comes from the underground and is the core of this world.
"These details remain unverified, but what I want to tell you is that the relationship between Amulet Glory and the Six Ritualistic Weapons is like that between raw materials and finished products.
"So, those who inherit Amulet Glory represent their qualification to refine their bodies, merge with the ritualistic weapons, and ultimately transform them into their own power."
"But..... aren't these ritualistic weapons my power now?" Nash questioned, puzzled.
He could use the ritualistic weapons, so did that not mean he had gained power? Johnathan shook his head expressionlessly. "Not at all. This is what I am about to explain next. You should've noticed that the Six Ritualistic Weapons only exist within specific organs in your body. This is related to the legends of the past.
"After the human emperor's defeat, his body fell back to the mortal realm. But a long time passed, and the emperor's body did not decay. When people went to observe him, they discovered that the six organs in his body continuously emitted true energy, which served as the predecessors of the Six Ritualistic Weapons.
"People buried the emperor's body, and that power merged into the earth. The six burial items beside the emperor were influenced by the emperor's true energy, granting them awareness.
"Do you understand now?
"From start to finish, the power of the human emperor came solely from himself and not from the ritualistic weapons. The ritualistic weapons forged for battling the divine emperor, based on Amulet Glory, were ultimately destroyed.
"Fortunately, the emperor's power was preserved in this manner. This is what I meant when I said the power should belong to you and not be confined within the ritualistic weapons.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
