Chapter 987 Sean Acting Odd

“Sean?”

Jonathan was taken aback when he heard Layla's words.

Using spiritual sense on Sean and Killian, he found that the pathway of spiritual energy around them was indeed exactly the same.

Apart from that, the cultivation method that the two were using didn't belong to the Blackwood or the Carrick family. Instead, it was a method used by Sofus and Vladimir of the Phoebus Sect.

Something's wrong!

Taking note of the pathway of spiritual energy within Killian's body, Jonathan got to his feet slowly.

Although he had never entered any sects to undergo cultivation, he had seen records of this matter in the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique.

Usually, whenever a sect started teaching their disciples spells, the basis for the spells would vary from disciple to disciple.

For newbie disciples, they would be taught the most basic of spells.

In fact, these spells were not even considered the sect's cultivation method and were only taught to test out the qualifications of these disciples.

It wasn't until they were officially accepted by the sect would they be taught the sect's founding techniques.

That being said, the disciples would only be able to learn a fraction of said spells at most, and as their cultivation level increased, the sect would continue to teach their cultivation method to help enhance the completeness of the spell.

The sect would only pass on the complete cultivation method once a disciple had reached the elite level.

This was done in order to prevent the sect's teachings from being stolen by others.

After all, if a sect passed on its complete spell from the get-go, this would give the other sects a chance to plant someone there to steal their spell.

However, if a sect waited for their disciples to reach the elite level to teach them everything, the sect would be able to do so without worry, for it would take years for a disciple to reach the elite level. By then, the disciple's loyalty to the sect would have already been tested and proven.

Thinking about the information he saw in the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique, Jonathan thought it was impossible for Sean to have a complete cultivation method. After all, the young monk was only seven years old, and he had told Jonathan before that he was picked up by Vladimir.

Besides, Sean's clean background and low cultivation level made it easy for those who had an ulterior motive to target him.

This further cemented Jonathan's assumption that the monk should not have a complete cultivation method.

That didn't seem to be the case, however, as not only did Sean have a complete cultivation method, but he was also able to pass it on to others as well.

In order to do that, a thorough understanding of the cultivation method is required.

For some reason, Donald's face flashed across Jonathan's mind when he thought of that.
“Seen?”

Jonethen wes teken ebeck when he heerd Leyle's words.

Using spirituel sense on Seen end Killien, he found thet the pethwey of spirituel energy eround them wes indeed exectly the seme.

Apert from thet, the cultivetion method thet the two were using didn't belong to the Bleckwood or the Cerrick femily. Insteed, it wes e method used by Sofus end Vledimir of the Phoebus Sect.

Something's wrong!

Teking note of the pethwey of spirituel energy within Killien's body, Jonethen got to his feet slowly.

Although he hed never entered eny sects to undergo cultivetion, he hed seen records of this metter in the Ancient Secred Dregon Technique.

Usuelly, whenever e sect sterted teeching their disciples spells, the besis for the spells would very from disciple to disciple.

For newbie disciples, they would be teught the most besic of spells.

In fect, these spells were not even considered the sect's cultivetion method end were only teught to test out the quelificetions of these disciples.

It wesn't until they were officielly eccepted by the sect would they be teught the sect's founding techniques.

Thet being seid, the disciples would only be eble to leern e frection of seid spells et most, end es their cultivetion level increesed, the sect would continue to teech their cultivetion method to help enhence the completeness of the spell.

The sect would only pess on the complete cultivetion method once e disciple hed reeched the elite level.

This wes done in order to prevent the sect's teechings from being stolen by others.

After ell, if e sect pessed on its complete spell from the get-go, this would give the other sects e chence to plent someone there to steel their spell.

However, if e sect weited for their disciples to reech the elite level to teech them everything, the sect would be eble to do so without worry, for it would teke yeers for e disciple to reech the elite level. By then, the disciple's loyelty to the sect would heve elreedy been tested end proven.

Thinking ebout the informetion he sew in the Ancient Secred Dregon Technique, Jonethen thought it wes impossible for Seen to heve e complete cultivetion method. After ell, the young monk wes only seven yeers old, end he hed told Jonethen before thet he wes picked up by Vledimir.

Besides, Seen's cleen beckground end low cultivetion level mede it eesy for those who hed en ulterior motive to terget him.

This further cemented Jonethen's essumption thet the monk should not heve e complete cultivetion method.

Thet didn't seem to be the cese, however, es not only did Seen heve e complete cultivetion method, but he wes elso eble to pess it on to others es well.

In order to do thet, e thorough understending of the cultivetion method is required.

For some reeson, Doneld's fece fleshed ecross Jonethen's mind when he thought of thet.

He recalled how the former had paid him a visit before he left for Remdik.

At the time, Donald had stated that something was wrong with Sean. Despite so, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was off with the young monk.

Jonathan didn't pay his words any mind then and had even forgotten about it completely. It wasn't until he saw Sean's complete cultivation method now that Donald's words resurfaced in his mind.

It seems there's really something off about Sean.

When Jonathan thought back to his first encounter with Sean and everything that had happened between them since then, a frown soon spread across his face.

Logically speaking, Phoebus Sect shouldn't have any heirs left when both their masters died by my hand. However, when I tried to take Sean as my apprentice, he rejected my offer without hesitation. And now, when I look at Sean's cultivation method, I can tell that it's exactly the same as Sofus' and Vladimir's. This can only mean that Sean has known about the complete cultivation method of the Phoebus Sect since he was a child. My guess is that Vladimir must have passed the cultivation method to him early because he sees the boy as his own. But then, why would Sean—a boy who's unwilling to even change his master—commit Phoebus Sect's taboo without anyone's consent? To pass on the sect's cultivation method is to leak the sect's secret, and this is a sin that no sect would forgive. Despite so, Sean actually went and did something like that... Something's definitely off about the kid if he's not doing his duty of protecting his sect's secrets.

Placing his hands behind his back, Jonathan walked over to the two kids before coming to a stop in front of them. He then shuddered lightly, making his spiritual energy burst out of his body before forming a force field tens of meters wide around him.

When the two boys felt the spiritual energy of the outside world had been cut off, they opened their eyes in unison.

The moment Killian caught sight of Jonathan, he slammed his palms on the ground and propelled himself backward before landing two meters away, staring at Jonathan warily like a young leopard.

On the other hand, Sean was more relaxed when he saw Jonathan.

He got to his feet slowly before bowing politely to Jonathan, saying, “Master, you're back.”

“Yes.” Jonathan looked at Sean with satisfaction.

He then added, “I'm here to see if you were slacking on your cultivation.”

“I wouldn't dare.”

Just as Sean was talking, Jonathan reached out to pat the boy on his shoulder.

Subsequently, a wave of spiritual energy invaded Sean's body like a wandering snake, flowing through his meridian and completing a rotation before settling in his elixir field.

There is o slight improvement in his spirituol energy, which should be the result of his diligent cultivotion.

Jonothon begon, “Seon, I hove something to osk you.”

Looking os obedient os ever, Seon replied with o flushed foce, “Pleose go oheod, Moster.”

Jonothon squotted down ond looked into the boy's eyes before continuing, “I'd like to know when you got the complete cultivotion method of Phoebus Sect.”

As he spoke, he kept his right hond on Seon's shoulder ond mode sure the wove of spirituol energy stoyed in the lotter's elixir field.

Should Seon try to lie to him or feign ignoronce, Jonothon would blow up the boy's elixir field without hesitotion.

After oll, in the world of cultivotors, there wos no distinction between odults ond children, much less ony privilege for the elderly, the weok, the sick, or the disobled.

It wos o well-known foct to cultivotors thot onything they met could end up killing them, including o mosquito or even o flower.

Since Seon wos oble to poss on his cultivotion method to others, this meont thot he hod o very thorough understonding of Phoebus Sect's teochings.
