The Legendary Man

Chapter 678 Apparition

Jonathan had inherited the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique by chance. It happened when he had just joined the military and was serving under Quilton Army at Harfush.

Back then, Hades was but a regimental leader. Quilton Army wasn’t able to hold itself against its opponent which was triple in size. Thus, they could only retreat into the mountains while engaging in intermittent fights.

Jonathan’s company was tasked with delaying enemy troops to buy more time for the main troops. The company retreated as they fought, and Jonathan ended up being the sole survivor.

While fleeing from the enemies, he fell through a hole beneath a river by accident. The hole started off being the width of a well, but there was a cave the size of a basketball court after passing through it.

Within the enclosed space, Jonathan found nothing aside from a corpse that sat upright. Another object that caught his attention was a jade slip that was glowing in the dark.

After he reached out to touch the jade slip, he felt as if a cool stream flowed through his arm before seeping into his mind. Within an instant, it eradicated all of his negative feelings, including hunger, fear, and panic.

He was so focused on leaving the place alive that he didn’t pay attention to all that had happened and merely assumed that the place was a tomb that saved his life.

It wasn’t until he thought back on it that he realized it was a retreat for someone that went into seclusion during ancient times.

Somehow, that person didn’t manage to emerge from his period of seclusion and passed away inside instead. Meanwhile, Jonathan obtained that jade slip by a twist of fate and inherited the divine knowledge it contained.

After Jonathan was out of danger, he returned to seal the cave lest somebody else disturb the eternal rest of the deceased.

According to the introductory chapter, the technique was passed down from ancient times, but nobody knew who exactly created it.

It was also mentioned that it was the later generations who named the technique according to the sigil of the Sacred Dragon which could be found in the introductory chapter.

The contents of the text spanned various topics, including but not limited to the basics of the technique, cultivation methods in general, spells, pill-making, and weapon-refining.

Fast-forward to then, the spell that Jonathan was casting was Five Elements of the Dragon Deity, which was one of the most basic spells within the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.

Although he had no idea what ancient times might look like, the fact that even the most basic of moves recorded within the text required wielders to have achieved God Realm was proof of the spell’s sheer power.
