1366 Definition of Talent

After putting away Huang Xiao Li's 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 didn't question further.

Instead, Tian Yang inquired more information about the Immortal's graveyard.

"Tell me more about this Immortal's graveyard."

Kulas nodded and shared his knowledge, "The Immortal's graveyard's official name is Han Zexian's 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 must've 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 wouldn't dare to be so selfish. If this was just any ordinary tomb, then they would've 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.

He's 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.

"Don't 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.

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

It was no wonder he couldn't sense Kulas' cultivation.

"As long as we don't encounter any Spirit Sovereigns or above, I'll get rid of them," Kulas said as he removed his gauntlets.

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

"I'm 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 didn't 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 wouldn't have made a difference. Even if Tian Yang started at the moment of his birth, he wouldn't have been a Spirit Emperor by now.

Kulas saw the look of defeat on Tian Yang's face and smiled, "Talent isn't everything in this world."

Tian Yang looked at him and sneered, "That's 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 one's 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? You'd still live a life as a powerless ant."

Kulas smiled and said, "That's the thing—you don't know what fate has in store for you until it happens. While you may be born without talents, who's to say that you won't acquire talents in the future?"

"Acquiring talents? That's nonsense," Tian Yang sneered.

"I don't know what your definition of talent is, but one's 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 Kulas' words.

Kulas suddenly continued, "Why do you think places like the Immortal's 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 Zexian's legacy and become a dragon."

"Yeah, right."

Kulas looked at him with a profound smile and said, "That said, I think you're already quite talented."

"Me? Talented? Hah! That's the funniest joke I've heard all decade long!"

"Being able to survive is also a talent. I can tell at a glance that you're someone who has encountered countless life-or-death situations—more than anyone that I know. Despite having 'less talent' than those geniuses I know, you've managed to survive this long. If that isn't a talent. I don't know what is."

"You call that talent? If so, I'd rather not have such talents. What's the point if I keep barely managing to survive like a beggar? That's just called a struggle."

"I guess it won't be easy to change your mind, but I'm sure you'll eventually realize the truth." Kulas laughed heartily.

'What a weird fellow…' Tian Yang shook his head inwardly.
