The six newcors had all perished, their Dao extinguished. As the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile’s words echoed through the Great Hall, Lu Qingling’s brow furrowed slightly. She hadn’t expected Master Xuan Shui to have set such a difficult challenge within the inheritance. It was crucial to rember that only cultivators at the Furnace Fire Realm could reach this place.
It seems I really need to be more careful moving forward.
Fortunately, I made thorough preparations before setting out.
No matter what, with the Great Teleportation Talisman, I should be able to preserve my life.
Having made her decision, Lu Qingling, a Furnace Fire Realm cultivator, was not one to hesitate or worry excessively. A token appeared in her palm, but just as she was about to speak—
A surge of Primordial Power, gentle as a spring breeze, brushed past as Jiang Shu’s palm stretched out and grasped the token.
"Senior Sister Lu, let go."
Ever since arriving at this Inheritance Land, he had vaguely sensed sothing amiss, a feeling of discomfort. However, despite his best efforts, he couldn’t pinpoint the source of the danger.
The Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, simply lay before the Spirit Pond, showing no intention of acting.
What exactly... is the problem?
Jiang Shu kept his composure. The spiritual power of an Inner Core Realm Demon Beast was by no ans inferior to that of a Primordial Pill Realm True Man. Spiritual communication between Furnace Fire Realm cultivators was extrely easy to intercept.
Therefore, despite his premonition, he didn’t voice a warning, rely gripping the token and signaling with his eyes.
Compared to Lu Qingling, he was not only significantly stronger but also possessed the trump card of the Two Realms Shuttle, which would reduce the danger of the inheritance to an absolute minimum.
"Then... Brother Jiang, please be extra careful."
On their journey from the True Martial Sect to the Endless Sea, her bond with Jiang Shu had deepened. This was especially true after they jointly killed the Dao Yi Sect disciples and shared secrets, elevating their relationship to that of close confidants of the opposite sex.
She believed Jiang Shu wouldn’t act this way rely out of greed for the supposed Primordial Pill Realm inheritance.
It was very likely that he had discovered sothing.
Is it danger...?
Her spiritual power enveloped the Great Teleportation Talisman in her sleeve. Lu Qingling appeared to be ditating nearby, but in reality, her mind was highly focused, ready to escape at any mont.
No inheritance was worth more than one’s own life.
"Have you decided?"
The Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, unaware of what Jiang Shu and Lu Qingling were thinking, scanned Jiang Shu up and down. After seeing him nod, it took out a token and attached it to the jade wall, where a passage slowly erged.
The passage was deep and unfathomable. Faint traces of Primordial Power Formations were laid out within it.
Jiang Shu leaped into it.
An attack, comparable in power to the late-stage Furnace Fire Realm, imdiately struck with fierce intensity. Jiang Shu threw a punch and stepped directly into the second Array. This Array simulated Space Turbulence and would typically ensnare ordinary Furnace Fire Realm cultivators.
Divine Skill, Five Thunders Great Handprint!
With thunder in his hand, Jiang Shu tore through space and entered the third Array.
Master Xuan Shui’s trials might indeed pose significant challenges for an ordinary Furnace Fire Realm cultivator.
For him, however, it was like a leisurely stroll in a courtyard, presenting no difficulty whatsoever.
But the easier it seed, the more Jiang Shu tensed, stretching his limbs while his spirit grew increasingly vigilant.
A sense of crisis still lingered deep in my heart. Since the danger isn’t in these trials, it’s most likely within the inheritance itself!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Deliberately slowing his pace, Jiang Shu conserved his strength, the Five Thunders Great Handprint held ready. After half an hour, he broke through all the Arrays and entered a screen of light.
An endless assault of spiritual power surged towards him. Jiang Shu remained as immovable as a mountain. Employing the Holy Embryo’s respiration, he instantly activated the Divine Skill, Kunpeng Swallowing Technique.
It should be... ti for everything to be revealed.
As his eyes scanned the area, a closed, pitch-black tal door appeared before him.
Pushing it open, a secret chamber ca into view.
Compared to the Great Hall adorned with gold pillars and jade walls, this secret chamber was not only smaller but also devoid of any luxurious decoration. It was starkly simple, almost natural.
At the center of the secret chamber lay a Mystic Ice Coffin, situated within an Array. It emitted a bone-chilling aura, the ice having remained unlted for a thousand years.
Through the transparent coffin, the body inside was clearly visible.
The body’s owner, possessing white hair yet a youthful complexion, showed no signs of life. This matched Lu Qingling’s speculation that he had passed away due to reaching his lifespan’s limit.
A jade box rested quietly atop the Mystic Ice Coffin.
On the jade wall behind the Mystic Ice Coffin, rows of elegantly flowing script caught his eye.
"I am Master Xuan Shui. It took fifty years to reach the Furnace Fire Realm and three hundred years to attain the Primordial Pill Realm; I was a late bloor. Though my innate talent was lacking, my fortune was unparalleled. I once obtained the Heavenly Rank Technique, the ’Azure Sky and Blue Sea Technique’. Alas, my ti is now near. Despite re-cultivating this technique, I remain stuck at the Late-stage Yuan Dan, unable to advance to Nirvana. Therefore, I leave this technique to a successor, hoping the inheritor will carry on my unfinished aspiration and aim directly for Nirvana.
"This passage will vanish on its own in three years. One with exceptional talent who successfully achieves entry-level mastery of the ’Azure Sky and Blue Sea Technique’ within these three years may break the Array on the Mystic Ice Coffin, take my Divine Power Pill, open my Storage Bag, and receive my inheritance.
"If your talent is insufficient, then you are not the one I seek; you should depart at once. Do not attempt to be clever, or my mount, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile waiting outside, will surely not spare you."
Jiang Shu read these paragraphs repeatedly, his eyes narrowing slightly. Every sentence seed flawless.
But this very lack of problems is precisely the biggest problem.
A Heavenly Rank Technique...
The Cultivation Techniques practiced by cultivators are divided into Spirit Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank. These correspond to the Furnace Fire Realm, Primordial Pill Realm, and Nirvana Realm, respectively.
