"To think it was refined from a plain Gourd? Damn, Laozi was incredible."
Zhang Bin was so shocked he was nearly stupefied.
After half an hour, the Gourd indeed opened up again. A strange force erged, ejecting both Zhang Bin and Little Lucky Star. As for Xiao Qing, she had, of course, returned to Zhang Bin’s Dantian long ago.
BANG...
Zhang Bin slamd into the ground, creating a pit. Little Lucky Star did the sa. The two of them scrambled up angrily. Little Lucky Star was still unwilling to give up and wanted to attack again, but Zhang Bin stopped her. Moreover, he put Little Lucky Star away, because he knew that another attack would just get them sucked into the Gourd again, without exception.
Nevertheless, he looked at Li Taiqing with confusion and said, "What does the Ancestor an by this? He won’t let you obtain the subsequent Cultivation Techniques? He won’t give us these Magical Treasures?"
The last sentence struck a chord. He truly desired those wondrous Magical Treasures: the Taoist Robe, the Horsetail Whisk, and the Gourd. Perhaps even that pair of straw sandals was a great Magical Treasure too. If he could show off with these treasures, how impressive would that be?
"When I first ca here, it might have been because I have the Ancestor’s bloodline in . So, I effortlessly obtained the Jade Scroll. I even got a Space Ring, which contained the Tao Te Ching," Li Taiqing said. "I also heard a vague voice telling to cultivate to the strongest and purest state before coming back for the subsequent legacy. Every ti I co here, I feel that I’m very strong, but I still can’t obtain it. Now I have cultivated to the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, and there’s no way for to get any stronger. Still, I can’t get it. I don’t know what’s going on."
"The strongest and purest?" A contemplative look appeared on Zhang Bin’s face. "You have indeed cultivated to the strongest state, but not yet to the purest. That’s why you can’t et the requirents, and the legacy cannot be passed to you."
"Right, it shouldn’t be a matter of power anymore. You’re much stronger than , but you can’t get the Jade Scroll either. It really seems to be an issue of purity," Li Taiqing said. "I must diligently accumulate rit and strive to purify my spirit and body to beco purer. If I can et the Ancestor’s requirents and obtain the complete legacy and the Magical Treasures he left behind, our Taiqing Sect will truly beco a powerful sect."
"My husband should be very pure and strong already, but he can’t get it either. Maybe it’s because my husband doesn’t have the Ancestor’s bloodline, or perhaps because he hasn’t cultivated the Three Purities Secret Technique," Xiao Qian said with a sigh. "It seems we can only co back for it later."
"But what if the secrets here are discovered? What if a master of the Fusion Stage cos and takes the Treasures away?" Zhang Bin was not content to leave it at that.
"The Ancestor is so powerful, with abilities that reach the heavens. The legacy will by no ans fall into the hands of others," Li Taiqing said.
However, Zhang Bin suddenly knelt and shouted fervently, "Ancestor, although I don’t carry your bloodline, Li Taiqing is my father-in-law, and I am his son-in-law. In the future, the children I have with Xiao Qian will have to cultivate the Three Purities Secret Technique.
"We have also established a sect—the Taiqing Sect—but we lack the complete legacy. I hope you can return with us instead of staying here, to prevent any accident from befalling the inheritance. You must know that Earth has many terrifying beings, like powerful Demons."
Yet, there was still no response.
"Ancestor, your legacy might be powerful, but mine is even more mystical. It is not inferior to yours, perhaps even more sophisticated," Zhang Bin said proudly. "However, only I can practice my cultivation thod; other Disciples cannot. So please, Ancestor, grant my request. Trust that I have the ability to keep your legacy safe and ensure it won’t fall into the hands of others. My territory is secured with very powerful Formations."
"Ancestor, please co ho with us," Li Taiqing and Xiao Qian also said expectantly, kneeling.
"Ancestor, I will carry you ho."
With brazen courage, Zhang Bin stood up and walked over. He actually lifted the statue of Laozi and the Green Ox without suffering any attack.
"Aweso..."
Zhang Bin grinned so widely his mouth seed crooked.
"Is this really possible?"
Li Taiqing and Xiao Qian were stunned, their jaws almost dropping.
Zhang Bin tried to put the statue into his Space Ring, but he failed. He also tried to put it into the Flying Saucer, but that failed too.
Damn it, looks like I’ll have to carry it out. Zhang Bin muttered to himself and imdiately started striding toward the exit.
But after just one step, he felt the statue had beco heavier by an unimaginable amount. It was like a small mountain, nearly crushing him beneath it.
"AHH..."
Zhang Bin imdiately channeled his True Qi and roared madly, continuing to walk forward step by step. However, his body trembled uncontrollably, his face turned blood-red, and beads of sweat dripped from him like rain.
"It’s that heavy?"
Li Taiqing and Xiao Qian were both shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
CRACK, CRACK...
With every step Zhang Bin took, the ground cracked and the cave shook. Rocks flew and dust rose. The scene was terrifying.
"ARGH..."
Zhang Bin continued to shout madly, his True Qi circulating at maximum speed. Every cell in his muscles strained with effort, and every fiber of his bones endured the terrifying pressure.
Suddenly, threads of Dragon Qi hidden within the gaps of his bone tissue began to erge, only to be quickly devoured by the bones themselves. His bones grew even harder, and more dragon symbols slowly manifested on their surface. His strength was slowly increasing.
Therefore, he was still able to endure, forcing himself step by step out of the cave.
The mont he stepped out, sothing miraculous happened.
The terrifying weight vanished.
Even so, Zhang Bin fell to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath. But a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. He imdiately sat cross-legged and began to earnestly cultivate. This was the only way for his bones to better absorb and refine the Dragon Qi. After all, any amount of Dragon Qi he absorbed and refined would increase his strength, even if just by a little. There was no bottleneck to this growth. Such an opportunity naturally had to be seized.
He now understood clearly. The Ancestor’s statue becoming so heavy was a trial for him. If he didn’t have the capacity to carry it out, he wouldn’t have passed the trial. The statue would not have gone ho with him; instead, it would have continued to wait here for a more suitable descendant to claim the inheritance.
Fortunately, he had previously absorbed Dragon Qi, and his strength far surpassed that of other experts at the sa realm. He was invincible in the Golden Core Realm, and with his trendous potential, he had actually managed to carry the statue out. Even better, he had gained a benefit, as the ordeal had forced his body to refine and absorb more Dragon Qi. The next ti he went to the Dragon Palace to cultivate, he would be able to devour even more of it.
This son-in-law is incredible. He’s an absolute, one-of-a-kind genius to have actually passed the Ancestor’s trial. Li Taiqing’s face lit up with delight as he praised him in his heart.
My husband is getting stronger and stronger. He actually managed to bring out the Ancestor’s statue! Now the Taiqing Sect will have the complete inheritance. Xiao Qian reflected with deep emotion.
Finally, Zhang Bin fully recovered. He leaped up excitedly, effortlessly picked up the statue, and flew off in high spirits, shouting, "Let’s go! We’re taking the Ancestor ho!"
