Chapter 1253: Dark Saint, Enlightenment!
Translator: Lordbluofiro
Hu Xingjiang was a little dissatisfied that Yang Shizhan did not chase after Huangfu Long. However, he could not
order a saint to do things.
“Thank you for your help, Saint!
After Hu Xingjiang bowed to express his gratitude, he pleaded with Sun Mo to treat the injured.
Sun Mo did not decline. He guessed that Yang Shizhan was unwilling to kill Huangfu Long because he
sympathized with him. After all, this Mad Secondary Saint was also an experimental subject.
“Where’s Huangfu Long
Huang Tian asked anxiously when he saw Hu Xingjiang returning.
“He escaped:”
Hu Xingjiang checked his friend’s injuries. “Don’t worry about him. Take care of your injuries first!”
Huang Tian let out a deep sigh. He knew that there was no helping it, so all of his mental energy immediately
dissipated. He slumped onto the bed like a salted fish and said, “Teacher Sun, go treat those who are seriously
injured first!
Because of this, Sun Mo’s impression of Huang Tian changed quite a lot. At least, he was not a selfish and
cold-blooded person. “You’re also seriously injured.”
B… Boss, bad news. Puma injured springwater and Grasshopper, and he has snatched away a lot of data.”
An assistant rushed over anxiously.
Sun Mo frowned. He knew the assistant with the code name Puma,. He was a very amicable man, and Sun Mo
didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.
To everyone’s surprise, Huang Tian did not get angry. Instead, he waved his hand, indicating that there wasn’t a
need to chase after him.
It was very normal for people to flee on separate paths when facing a great crisis.
What followed was a busy week. It was time to clean up the laboratory, collect the corpses, and organize the
remaining data.
Everyone was in loW spirits.
That night, Huang Tian checked the laboratory while moving around with a walking stick.
Sun Mo was repairing the damaged equipment. When he saw Huang Tian, he quickly persuaded him. “Teacher
Huang, you can’t walk yet.”
“There’s no need to repair them. This laboratory is going to be abandoned.
Even though Huang Tian was a saint, he was sighing endlessly with tears in his eyes. This was the place he had
worked at for 50 years.
Due to the explosions, a lot of the rooms on this floor had been destroyed. Most of the equipment had also been
lost. Moreover, there was a great reduction in manpower. One-third of them had been injured or killed, while
most of the remaining people wanted to leave. Therefore, if Huang Tian wanted to rebuild the laboratory to its
previous standard, it would take him at least six to seven years.
Huang Tian was feelinga little dejected.
It’s good to abandon it too!
Sun Mo did not persuade Huang Tian to continue.
Although this place produced many technologies that were ahead of its time, many experiments had been
conducted on forbidden arts. From an ethical point of view, it was better to close it down.
There’s something I must clarify!
Huang Tian’s tone was calm. “Great teachers who are 7-stars or higher have contributed a lot to the Nine
Provinces. Therefore, we won’t treat them like monkeys, and we will ask them if they are willing to be
experimental subjects. However, that Mad Secondary Saint is an exception!
Huang Tian paused for a moment and said, “He’s a darkness seed.”
“No wonder he would go berserk and kill people after regaining his senses.
Sun Mo was struck by a realization.
In the Nine Provinces, darkness seed was a forbidden word that was banned from being mentioned in public.
Moreover, everyone had the right to punisha darkness seed if they were to see them.
Sun Mo had heard of this term from Mei Ziyu.
A long time ago, when great teachers had committed a crime, they would not be killed or imprisoned. Instead,
they would be exiled to the Darkness Continent.
In the Saint Gate’s opinion, this was a productive use of cast-offs because if those great teachers wanted to
survive, they had to explore the Darkness Continent.
Gradually, other than great teachers, many countries also started to banish various prisoners to the Darkness
Continent.
Many people died, but some lucky ones survived. As they had lived in the Darkness Continent under harsh
conditions for generations, their descendants were very hostile toward the people from the Nine Provinces.
“Great teachers can also be born from the darkness seeds, but secondary saints would be very rare. Therefore,
after we captured Huangfu Long, we treated him like a precious resource.
Huang Tian introduced, “His body is very strong and we were able to collect a lot of data that we couldn’t obtain
from ordinary experimental subjects. It lasted until we started using him in soul transfer experiments. Because we
used him as a vessel, we injected too many souls into his body, and he went crazy.
“This time, we didn’t know what went wrong. He accidentally regained his senses and then he started taking
revenge.
Huang Tian did not hate Huangfu Long. When he did these experiments, he was prepared to be killed one day.
“What’s up with that Puma who stole the data?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Many of my assistants are here to improve their knowledge and accumulate experience. Therefore, isn’t it normal
for them to steal the data?
Huang Tian chuckled and didn’t take it to heart.
After all, he had memorized all the data.
“I actually hope that Puma can use the data to achieve some results!”
Huang Tian was hopeful.
“What are your plans for the future?
Sun Mo sized up Huang Tian. This person should be from the Dark Dawn. However, after interacting with him for
a while, Sun Mo realized that he wasn’t bad. If Sun Mo could convince him to go to their school to be a teacher,
even if it was only for half a year, it would be a huge gain.
“Haha, stop dreaming. If I were to go to your school, you’d be in big trouble!”
Huang Tian teased. “T’m planning to travel to those remote villages in the Nine Provinces. I hope to unearth more
children with potential from poor families.”
Sun Mo shrugged, feelinga little regretful.
“Here, take this jade plate. In the future, if you encounter any of the five Doyens or the seven Starlords and they
find trouble for you, give this jade plate to them. The bit of reputation I have might be able to help you tide
through one crunch.
Huang Tian took out a palm-sized jade plate and handed it to Sun Mo.
The jade plate was dark green and had the words ‘Heavenly Fate’ on it.
Seeing this, Sun Mo finally knew where Huang Tian had come from. If he was right, Huang Tian was Heavenly
Fate Saint, one of the three Dark Saints under the Dawn Sovereign.
“Teacher, if I may ask, what is with that Zero Saint?”
Sun Mo had met Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves in the Greenhaze Forest and had even been poisoned by him. There
was some enmity between them.
I don’t know!”
Huang Tian pursed his lips. “Zero Saint is known as the most mysterious dark saint. Even people from our
organization have never seen him before, let alone you outsiders.
Sun Mo actually wanted to ask about the Dawn Sovereign’s identity, but Huang Tian would definitely not tell him.
Therefore, he saved himself the trouble.
“Sun Mo, I admire you very much. As a parting gift, do you want to accept my Enlightenment Provision
Huang Tian asked.
“Thank you, Teacher Huang!”
Sun Mo expressed his thanks.
After great teachers used Enlightenment Provision, they ould be able to forcibly stuff knowledge into their
students’ heads. As a result, the students would then be able to understand and use the knowledge directly.
At the same time, this halo would also bring great inspiration to the students.
In short, Enlightenment Provision could instill knowledge into students, akin to stuffing ducks. It would also
inspire them
However, great teachers would not use this halo easily because it would severely consume the great teacher’s
mental energy. Usually, after the halo was released, it would weaken the great teacher for at least ten days to half
a month. Moreover, great teachers did not like to take such shortcuts. They preferred for their students to learm
and grasp the knowledge they had imparted by themselves.
Sun Mo’s Soul Imprint had a similar effect to Enlightenment Provision, but the former didn’t have the ‘weakening
side effect.
At the same time, even if the students were too stupid to understand it, they would not turn into idiots.
However, it was different from Enlightenment Provision. If the student who received this knowledge was too
stupid, or if the great teacher transmitted too much knowledge, the student’s brain cells would be fried by this
information stream. In less severe situations, the student would have a headache for several days. In more severe
situations, the student would become dull-witted and might die suddenly.
“Then get ready!”
Huang Tian was very consoled that Sun Mo trusted him.
Typically speaking, when an unfamiliar great teacher wanted to perform Enlightenment Provision on a student,
the student would not agree to it. This was because they wouldn’t know if the great teacher was planning to take
the opportunity to ruin their future.
Besides, even if the great teacher didn’t have such intentions, being unfamiliar with the students, they wouldn’t
know how much knowledge they should impart to the students either.
After taking a deep breath, Huang Tian focused and calmed himself down, placing his hand on Sun Mo’s head.
Then, white light lit up on his palm. Like spring water, the light surged into Sun Mo’s brain.
“He’s indeed a genius!”
Huang Tian looked at Sun Mo, who was as stable as a mountain. He knew that Sun Mo’s endurance level was far
beyond his expectations, so he increased the amount of transmission.
After five whole minutes, Huang Tian stopped. He saw that Sun Mo was digesting and absorbing the knowledge,
so he left quietly.
Sigh, it was rare to meet such an outstanding student. He really wanted to impart all his knowledge to Sun Mo!
However, Huang Tian knew that this was impossible. Sun Mo was already at the ancestor level in both the study of
spirit runes and weaponsmithing. On top of that, he was a high star-level great teacher as well. He should make a
path for himself.
Sun Mo’s achievements would not be inferior to his.
Sun Mo sat cross-legged and went into deep thought for seven days before he was done digesting the knowledge
left behind by Huang Tian.
It included the data from the important experiments that Huang Tian had done over the past 100 years, especially
in soul transference. It was equivalent to giving Sun Mo an elevator, allowing him to take a shortcut to stand at
the top of this domain.
“You’re awake? Hu Xingjiang sized up Sun Mo. “How do you feel?”
“It’s very fulfilling!”
Sun Mo smiled and bowed in thanks.
Over the past few days, Hu Xingjiang had been keeping watch for him.
Old Huang has left!
Hu Xingjiang looked at the dilapidated walls here. The era that belonged to him had ended. “What about you?
What are your plans?”
“Tll go see if Yu Lin and the other prisoners have any thoughts of repenting. If not, I won’t be bothered to continue
participating in the examination. I’ll head back home!”
Thinking back, four years had passed since Sun Mo came to the prison. It was equivalent to him having attended
university.
However, in Sun Mo’s university days, he wasn’t very hardworking. Other than not dating, he had spent a lot of
time gaming and reading novels. However, in the past four years spent in this prison, Sun Mo had been working
hard constantly and had also gained a lot.
He had obtained Saint Bai Dong’s legacy, learned the Empowerment Divine Art, and also made great
improvements in weaponsmithing. He could now take the ancestor-level examination for weaponsmithing, and it
had also inspired him to come up with a new invention. Once it was completed, he would be able to change the
combat mode in the Nine Provinces.
Helping Yang Shizhan become a saint could be considered to have clung to someone influential. At least, this
favor could give Sun Mo the capital to go up against Secondary Saint Zhou.
Then there was the data.
Although Sun Mo wouldn’t conduct soul transfer experiments, many of the data here had inspired him, giving
him a new idea…
