Chapter 2481
The Secretly Rich Man
The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2481 âNot a clueâ replied Gerald.
âWell, heâs Zedd Burns, the youngest son of Duke Carlos, the War God of the Qin Kingdom at the end of the Great War period!â explained Finnley.
âlâve never heard of Zedd, but I do know Carlosâs eldest son, Zelig. From what remember, after Zeligâs father was executed by the Qin Emperor, the rest of his family moved to Yorkland, which is why most of Zeligâs descendants are Yorklanders, right?â asked Gerald, who knew his history since he used to be a literature major.
âOh? Not bad! True enough, all that happened, and you may already know this, but the Burns family quickly regressed after Carlosâs death. Though Zelig was nowhere near as capable as his father, Zedd had inherited Carlosâs bravery and hostility. With that in mind, the youngest son soon ended up handling most of the familyâs affairs.â
âAfter a period of time, Zedd even wanted to use another name to conquer the land for Westland during the Great War period. In the end, Zeddâs savagery surpassed his fatherâs, and lives were lost everywhere he passed..â added Finnley.
âNo wonder he became a devil after he died.. He had been that hostile even when he was alive!â
muttered the enlightened Gerald.
âThatâs⦠Partly right. While his resentment and wrath from being beheaded definitely served to push him toward becoming a demon, that alone wouldâve done little to turn him into a devil! The truth is, his previous incarnation was a powerful Zearl. For context, once one enters the Ziyiryon Realm, itâs near impossible to further ascend. However, this Zearl was ambitious, and he dedicated his life to pursuing the most supreme realmâ
âlâm sure you know that after one becomes an Angelord, theyâll definitely strive to become a Vizkaunt next, right? As long as youâre willing to train, youâll eventually be able to achieve that. However, progressing to become a Zearl is exceedingly difficult. Aside from needed great fortune- since youâll need to be at the right places at the right times a lot, youâll also need to overcome a hundred heavenly tribulations to succeed!â
âFor a Vizkaunt, itâs quite difficult for them to survive even three heavenly tribulations. With that in mind, just imagine how hard it is to go through a hundred heavenly tribulations just to become a Zearl!
Thereâs a good reason why the Ziyiryon Realm was once considered the peak of cultivation!â added Finnley, leaving Gerald utterly dumbfounded.
After all, the boy had only experienced one heavenly tribulation before, and he had only survived since he had access to the Velement Method. Unable to fathom just how obsessed that man was with cultivation, Gerald then asked, âBut even then, he still wasnât satisfied and wanted to continue cultivatingâ¦?â
âBingo! But before that, I hope you now understand just how dangerous itâs going to be on your journey to becoming an Angelord. One wrong move could straight-out result in you turning to ash! With that in mind, what you reap really isnât proportional to what you sow. Still, it was what that man was utterly bonkers about. To think that after becoming a near- invincible Zearl, he was still willing to sacrifice everything to become a Xenquis!â
âJust so you know, before you can become a Xenquis, you must first be reborn in the secular world to re-experience life as a mortal. During that period, your internal pellet will follow you, and it must get damaged. If it does, not only will all those years of cultivation go down the drain, but your mortal body will also be destroyed!â explained Finnley.
âChrist⦠Did he end up damaging his internal pellet in the secular world?'â asked Gerald who really wasnât keen on playing such high-risk games.
âEven worse, actually. Before he was reborn into a mortal, he hid his internal pellet in his skull.
Unfortunately, during a war, a rebel soldier ended up chopping his head off and presenting it to the enemy! As if that wasnât humiliating enough, they then fed his head, along with his internal pellet, to the dogs! One can only imagine how resentful the headless general ended up becoming!â muttered Finnley with a bitter laughâ¦
