And those fish leaping from the sea, seemingly harmless, were in fact even more terrifying primordial fire spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning heaven and boiling seas, I alone reign supreme; fire spirits like carp circle the knees, their warmth lingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbidden, these words surfaced in Lin Chen’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be the founding ancestor of Wan Huozong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Chen confirmed the identity of Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor, the figure slowly turned, his deep eyes reflecting an endless sea of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the peak of martial cultivation, one must forge a divine seal, then become the lord of all under heaven, borne by heavenly fortune. If you seek this path, my legacy does not suit you—leave now, and I shall grant you a technique so your journey is not in vain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words of Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor, Lin Chen froze. He now understood what the divine seal truly was, and knew the path beyond the Ten Thousand Forms realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To forge a divine seal, like the founding emperor of the Yan Empire, to become lord of all under heaven, peerless among divine-level cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor told him his legacy did not follow this path—did that mean the highest his martial path could reach was pseudo-divine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen did not believe himself a favored child of martial cultivation, but from the moment he entered the martial hall in Poyang County, his goal had been the peak of martial cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for that, after securing first place in the county exam and bringing glory to his family, why would he have trained so relentlessly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now a difficult choice lay before him: accept Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor’s legacy, or take a technique and leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique the founding ancestor called “not a wasted journey” must surely be a sect-level technique—certainly not a fruitless trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you made your choice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen hesitated, Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I choose to accept the legacy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen no longer hesitated—he gave his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you certain? If you accept my legacy, you shall never again pursue the path of forging a divine seal to reach the peak of martial cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple is certain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s expression grew even more resolute. He had not considered this a test by the founding ancestor, to gauge his resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator of this caliber had no need to use such verbal tricks to test a successor. If he truly wished to test resolve, he had far better methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to accept Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor’s legacy because he recalled his journey through martial cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning, when he walked the extreme martial path—the Ninefold Blood Refinement… the Body Tempering cultivation… every path was uncharted, even his elders doubted him and urged him to abandon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he given up then, faced with the difficulty ahead, he would not stand here now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he would still be on Canglan Island, perhaps merely an ordinary disciple of Canglan Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even if he wished to pursue the divine seal path, he could not—Eastern Young Master ’s father was already the next heir to the divine seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no other path to choose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving Lin Chen’s confirmation, Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor raised his right hand and pointed—one flame appeared on Lin Chen’s third eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Lin Chen fell into a profound, mysterious state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May you walk the path I could not complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor gazed deeply at Lin Chen, as if seeing through time to his own unfinished martial path; finally, he uttered only this hope, then turned away decisively. As he turned, his towering figure instantly grew ethereal, stepped into the sea of fire, and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the disappearance of Wan Huozong’s founding ancestor, the entire sea of fire froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>",718,"2026-06-19T20:25:58.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f213ee68fb13b98d37450675ed1b2948cd31d52074c57d489503797290edb7a9","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-571","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-569",591,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-cover.jpg"]
