The Martial Unity

Chapter 1824  Reincarnation and Prophecy

Of course, it was entirely possible that the Beggar Sage possessed a mind that exceeded even that of his own. While Rui had yet to come across anyone who was clearly superior to him in this regard, he did not think that he was the greatest that the Panama Continent had ever seen.

Partially because it was embarrassingly arrogant to think that his mind was the greatest to grace this world. Aside from that, he especially was not too skeptical because of the revelations that human sages were effectively immortals that could seem to be able to undo death or reincarnate. He knew reincarnation was possible.

He had gone through it himself, after all.

Furthermore, it was the reason that his mind was as powerful as it was. While he had been exceptionally bright even in his previous life, the growth that he gained through this life was unlike anything he had ever experienced.

If the immortal human sages experienced something similar, then he would not have any questions regarding their intellect. It would also explain why they were greatly superior to their contemporaries in their respective fields, massively outstripping anybody in their domain.

It was another reason that Rui looked forward to meeting with the Divine Doctor.

He had questions.

Questions pertaining to their immortality and how they managed to return from death.

For the first time in his entire life, he had found a clue to his magical reincarnation, the greatest miracle he had ever experienced in his life.

He would be lying if he said he wasn't dying of curiosity as to the truth about his reincarnation into the world of Gaia.

Who wouldn't be?

He had simply resigned himself to putting away the matter on a day-to-day basis because he was helpless in finding out the answer. There was no point in thinking about it because there was nothing to be gained by doing so.

Now, however, there was finally an avenue of inquiry.

Of course, it was entirely possible that it was entirely disconnected from his reincarnation.

"Only one way to find out," Rui murmured. The Beggar Sage had reserved a spot as one possible avenue of pursuit of the Divine Doctor. As the leader of one of the most powerful intelligence and information broker organizations on the entire continent, he was undoubtedly highly credible.

Another avenue of consideration was the Transcendent Emperor of Britannia.

Rui had mixed feelings about this particular option.

As the future heir to the throne of the Kandrian Empire, he was diplomatically not on the best of terms with the Britannian Empire. On top of that, he was utterly helpless before a Martial Transcendent. None of the power that he amassed as a royal prince or as a Martial Artist could possibly resist the power of one of the thirteen pinnacle Martial Artists of all of human civilization. Not even the sum totality of the Martial Union could protect him from such a force. The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

The only consolation he had was that Martial Transcendents had a history of non-interventionism when it came to human matters. Based on that, the probability of the Martial Transcendent exercising his power to erase Rui was somewhat low, but Rui would be unable to stop him by any metric whatsoever.

Still, he was the second avenue of inquisition that Rui had considered.

The third option was the Panamic Adventurer's Guild.

This was the organization born to serve as a broker for Martial services pertaining to the Beast Domain. Essentially, it was a much larger version of the Martial Union that specifically dealt with commissions pertaining to the Beast Domain.

It was founded by the Venerable Venator, an extremely powerful Martial Sage, centuries ago and had grown into a behemoth of an organization over the years. The reason that it was in consideration was because it was the most knowledgeable organization when it came to the Beast Domain, and because of how extensively it dealt with that particular region of the Panama Continent.

Martial Artists who chose to register would be designated with the status of 'adventurer,' which was simply an occupation that specifically referred to those who chose to provide Martial Art services pertaining to the Beast Domain.

This was also an avenue that was worth exploring.

The fourth option was going down the same route as his father did. The Silas Clan.

His father had successfully found the Silas Clan and even made a deal with them to get him the Eye of Prophecy technique, which could significantly increase his chances of finding the Divine Doctor.

Unfortunately, he never got to use it. Probably because the technique would have harmed not just the woman he loved but their unborn child in her womb, Rui himself. Rui didn't know the exact principles of the forbidden technique, but it was a logical assumption that a technique that reduced lifespan would harm a fetus if used by the pregnant mother.

His father probably intended to wait until she gave birth and then have her consume the very best of life-prolonging potions before she executed the technique to help him find the Divine Doctor.

Alas, his mother died soon after giving birth to Rui, sealing that option for his father.

The question was whether this option was available to Rui even if his father had lost it. It was something that he needed to discuss with Sage Sayfeel. Otherwise, he highly doubted that he would be able to find the Silas Clan.

On top of that, he bore their blood. He was a descendant of the Silas Clan himself, not an outsider like his father. His ability to harness their power was probably much greater.

Of course, he also wanted to get his hands on the Eye of Prophecy technique. He would be lying if he wasn't deeply curious about this technique. The ability to peer into the future itself was an ability that was deeply important to him. It was the foundation of his pattern recognition system and his very initial solution to fulfilling Project Water itself.
