282Chapter 281 The Land of the Strongests Inheritance the Four Head There Together

kill?”

Yu Xian never expected that Hua Yuandu’s purpose in contacting him this time was to invite him to commit murder.

How can someone kill someone without having any interest in it?

Yu Xian certainly had no interest in killing people.

If killing is done for pleasure without any benefit, then one is purely a demon. Evil cultivators would not kill for fun without a reason.

“Yes, murder.”

Hua Yuandu said slowly, “Although I haven’t personally experienced your strength, it should be quite good, making you suitable for this trip. Therefore, I have decided to invite you to join me.”

Yu Xian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “Kill who? Your enemy?”

If it were Hua Yuandu’s enemy who asked him to help kill him, Yu Xian would naturally not go.

There was no friendship between him and Hua Yuandu that would help him kill his enemies.

“They are not my enemies, but in this world, many times people don’t kill each other because of hatred.”

Hua Yuandu said calmly, “This matter concerns a lineage. As far as I know, at least three other people besides myself are aware of this lineage. Therefore, when this lineage opens, those three will inevitably bring people with them. How can there not be conflict? How can there not be murder?”

“Inheritance…”

Yu Xian looked thoughtful and asked doubtfully, “This… Fellow Daoist Hua trusts me that much? To be chosen for Fellow Daoist Hua’s inheritance, one must be extraordinary, possessing an extremely great opportunity. You want me to go with you…”

“The opportunity is definitely great, otherwise why would I be looking for you? I trust you, it just depends on whether you trust me or not. If you trust me, we’ll go together to seize that great inheritance. If you don’t trust me, then forget it.”

Hua Yuan raised his hand and waved it off, saying bluntly, “Give me an answer.”

Yu Xian’s gaze was thoughtful.

Hua Yuandu is an extremely rare genius with a sword spirit root.

Therefore, the inheritance that can be chosen for him must have been left by some powerful being, and only those with sufficient qualifications can unlock it.

Therefore, this inheritance is probably no small matter!

Hua Yuan didn’t even look for his master. Instead, he wanted to lead his own people there. Either the inheritance didn’t allow those with higher cultivation levels to enter, or they would be killed on the spot!

Or perhaps… Hua Yuan is worried that Li Shengjiang will steal his inheritance!

However, he and Hua Yuan were not very familiar with each other, and he did not know much about Hua Yuan’s character, personality, or conduct.

If this trip helps him obtain the inheritance, perhaps he can gain some other benefits.

But what if you can’t get it?

After all, there were three other people who knew, and those three were definitely not ordinary people!

Yu Xian understood that the succession opportunity that could automatically select a successor meant that, aside from anything else, the successor chosen must have excellent aptitude!

Good aptitude means profound cultivation, deep foundation, and great strength!

In the end, these four inheritors must compete using various means, but only one person can ultimately receive the inheritance.

During that period, danger lurks everywhere, and it’s a matter of life and death!

“Going is fine… but wouldn’t Fellow Daoist Hua like to explain the whole story and all the details?”

After a quick thought, Yu Xian finally decided that it was worth a try!

The opportunity is right in front of you; it would be a real shame not to give it a try!

As for danger?

Danger and opportunity always go hand in hand!

If you fear danger and refuse to seize opportunities, how long can you live? And how high can you cultivate yourself?

It should be noted that, even among turtles, how many truly live for a thousand years?

The vast majority of them, by hiding away all day, ultimately end up being eaten by others.

“Come on, come on, we’re just waiting for you. I’ll explain everything to you in detail later.”

Upon hearing Yu Xian’s agreement, Hua Yuandu’s face lit up with joy. As he turned to leave, he quickly said, “Although that opportunity and inheritance resides within me, I, Hua Yuandu, swear that if you help me obtain it, we will split it equally!”

Yu Xian did not show any surprise at Hua Yuandu’s words. He only frowned slightly, nodded, and followed.

us……

It seems that Hua Yuan invited more than just him to go!

Similarly, the more eloquent Hua Yuandu is, the harder it is to obtain this inheritance, and the greater the crisis!

Otherwise, he would have gone by himself. Why bother finding someone else? It would only create unnecessary complications.

The two left the Haotian Sect and soon arrived at a small peak in the Little Kunlun Mountains.

Two people were already sitting cross-legged on that small hill.

One man and one woman.

Upon seeing Hua Yuandu and Yu Xian arrive, the two exchanged a glance and stood up simultaneously, though their expressions held a hint of doubt.

Who is the cultivator beside Hua Yuandu?

Why is there another person?

With each additional person, there’s an increase in variables and a greater chance of seizing opportunities.

Yu Xian naturally looked at the two people as well. He did not recognize them, and they were both highly skilled in cultivation.

The two appeared to be at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but their cultivation levels clearly surpassed that of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, yet they did not exhibit the fluctuations of Golden Core cultivation.

With a sudden realization, Yu Xian understood the level of understanding these two individuals possessed.

The two are at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage, also known as the False Core Formation stage!

The pseudo-core realm is a semi-finished product of someone who failed to break through to the Golden Core stage during the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection but did not die.

Although his cultivation level was much higher than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, it was still far inferior to that of a true Golden Core cultivator.

Furthermore, once a false core is formed, it becomes almost impossible to re-form a golden core, and one can only live to the end of one’s lifespan, which is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, fake pills are also rare and hard to come by.

A Qi Condensation disciple can have a dozen or even dozens of opportunities to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, provided there is enough time and Foundation Establishment Pills.

The vast majority of Foundation Establishment cultivators who attempt to condense their core will inevitably die if they fail more than twice, or fail a third time. They will not even be qualified to condense a pseudo-core.

As for those who strive to break through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, failure means certain death, with no second chance.

Similarly, a Nascent Soul cultivator who attempts to break through to the Divine Transformation stage will either die!

Two pseudo-Dan realm experts are quite rare.

Yu Xian and Hua Yuan both fell off the mountain peak.

Hua Yuandu laughed heartily and said, “Let me introduce you two. This is Yu Xian from my Haotian Sect! He single-handedly killed six Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection evil cultivators from the Blood River Sect!”

“oh?”

The man and woman’s expressions changed simultaneously.

Yu Xian’s reputation has spread not only throughout Haotian Sect, but also far and wide.

Otherwise, how would Zheng Huo have known Yu Xian’s name and come looking for him?

However, Xiao Wusheng has not appeared in the past few years. It is unknown whether he is cultivating somewhere and has not received news of Yu Xian, or…

After introducing Yu Xian, Hua Yuandu smiled at Yu Xian and said, “Yu Xian, these two are my friends who are independent cultivators. They are not disciples of the Haotian Sect. His name is Shen Ce, and her name is Wei Yun.”

Yu Xian nodded slightly and bowed slightly to the two of them, saying, “Yu Xian greets you two fellow Daoists.”

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yu.”

Shen Ce and Wei Yun quickly raised their hands in return.

Although the two were at the pseudo-Dan level, their cultivation was still higher than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators.

However, Yu Xian does not belong to the ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection level!

With his record of consecutively killing six Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivators.

Furthermore, they are qualified to be invited by Hua Yuandu to explore the secret realm of inheritance together.

Therefore, his strength is definitely not weaker than that of a pseudo-core cultivator!

It should be noted that Hua Yuandu has very high standards, and the two have long admired his strength. The fact that Yu Xian came with Hua Yuandu proves everything.

Therefore, neither of them dared to be arrogant or act superior; they simply treated each other as equals.

After Hua Yuandu introduced the three of them to each other, he laughed and said, “With the help of the three of you, my confidence has greatly increased on this journey to obtain the inheritance!”

Yu Xian smiled calmly.

Shen Ce laughed and said, “It is our good fortune that Fellow Daoist Hua invited us on this trip. If we can really obtain the method to reconstitute the Golden Core from the Pseudo-Core, then Fellow Daoist Hua will be our great benefactor!”

Wei Yun nodded and said, “Yes! I hope that on this trip we can obtain the method of reconstructing a golden core from the inheritance of that mysterious expert.”

Hua Yuandu laughed and said, “Don’t worry, there have been countless cases of pseudo-core reconstructing into a golden core since ancient times. Since there are so many precedents, this method must not be difficult, and there must be more than one! Therefore, such a method must exist in the inheritance of those powerful figures!”

“Then our hopes rest entirely on you, fellow Daoist!”

Both of them had excitement in their eyes, the hope of a new life after a period of despair and waiting for death!

“Don’t worry! We’ll disguise ourselves now and head to the place of inheritance. I’ll tell you about the origins of this inheritance along the way.”

Hua Yuan smiled and waved his hand, then took out some things and began to disguise himself.

As a holy son of the Haotian Orthodox Sect, he had long been coveted by the Blood River Sect. If he dared to openly and swagger out of the Haotian Orthodox Sect’s territory, it would be tantamount to courting death.

There are countless Golden Core cultivators, and even Nascent Soul experts, who want to kill him!

Therefore, disguise and casual clothes are absolutely necessary.

Seeing this, the other two took out their straw hats and put them on, without changing their appearance much.

Since the two were independent cultivators, they only needed to cover their faces slightly; there was no need for them to disguise themselves like Hua Yuandu and make themselves completely unrecognizable.

As for Yu Xian, he was also moved and took out the mask that he had kept in his storage bag for many years, and put on the bamboo hat.

“alright.”

About an incense stick later, Hua Yuandu had finished his disguise. He had grown a few inches taller and gained some weight. The human skin mask made him look like a completely different person, with a lifelike face that was hard to distinguish from the real one.

After adjusting for a moment, he smiled and said, “Let’s go!”

Having said that, he stamped his foot, leaped into the air, and headed south.

Seeing this, the three of them also used their escape techniques and followed.

Hua Yuandu wasn’t moving fast, clearly having plenty of time. As he flew through the air, he reached out and took out a broken jade pendant fragment, saying to Yu Xian, Shen Ce, and Wei Yun, “That inheritance, I obtained it by chance back then…”

As Yu Xian listened to Hua Yuandu’s explanation, he gradually understood.

It turns out that this broken jade pendant, a remnant of a secret realm, was obtained by Hua Yuandu from a monster’s lair.

Later, when he activated his sword spirit root to cultivate, the broken jade pendant sensed that Hua Yuan was qualified to receive the inheritance. Therefore, it automatically recognized him as its master, passed on the words of the powerful figures recorded within, and informed him of a great inheritance site.

That’s the legacy left behind by a legendary Void Returning expert!

Return to emptiness!

The so-called “refining essence into qi” means that ordinary people open their qi sea and step into the stage of qi condensation.

The next stage, Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, involves a cultivator progressing from the Qi Condensation stage to the Spirit Transformation stage.

After the transformation into a deity, the next step is to refine the spirit and return to emptiness!

The Returning to Emptiness Realm is a powerful realm that Yu Xian cannot even imagine at present!

Those at this level can move mountains and fill seas, travel thousands of miles in an instant, and possess boundless power with every gesture!

One can imagine how magnificent the legacy left behind by that Void Returning expert must be.

This is also why Hua Yuan was unwilling, or dared not, to tell Li Shengjiang.

The allure of such a legacy can drive even fathers and sons to kill each other, let alone master and disciple.

Although he believed that Li Shengjiang would not harm him, he did not want to try.

As for this broken jade pendant, based on this one piece alone, it can be deduced that it was originally a whole piece that broke into four pieces, and Hua Yuandu only obtained one of them.

There are three more pieces, scattered around.

So on the day the inheritance begins, if you’re lucky, only Hua Yuandu might come.

If we’re unlucky, then all four of us will have to show up!

Hua Yuan didn’t dare gamble that the inheritance would belong solely to him. He worried that the other three qualified inheritors would bring people to take it, since everyone has friends. That’s why he decided to inform Shen Ce, Wei Yun, and Yu Xian about this matter!

These three are all quite strong, though slightly weaker than me. I’m confident I can suppress their evil intentions!

With himself included, there were four of them in total, which greatly increased their chances of inheriting the legacy.

The legacy of a Void Returning expert…

Yu Xian pondered to himself, wondering how many benefits this inheritance could contain. Perhaps his trip was not in vain!

The four of them traveled through the air at a moderate speed, and because they were deliberately avoiding detection, no other cultivators noticed them.

After flying south for more than half a month, the four of them completely left the territory of the Haotian Sect.

From then on, the four of them stopped using the air and instead fled at low altitudes. Their speed was not slow either. They traversed mountains and forests or crossed rivers. Before they knew it, another half month had passed.

A full month later, they saw that the mountains ahead were covered with dense forests, with giant trees growing everywhere, and miasma and water mist filling the sky and earth.

The four of them had arrived at the front of a wild and desolate forest!

Within these wild and desolate forests, precious spiritual herbs, powerful demonic beasts, and even all sorts of spiritual objects exist.

However, if you want to go in and search, you must be prepared to be attacked and killed by monsters; life and death are in the hands of fate.

When the four arrived, Hua Yuandu was the first to exhale and looked ahead, saying in a deep voice, “The secret realm inheritance site is located here. It is said that there are seventh-order demonic beasts in this Southern Wilderness, which is as famous as the Northern Plains, the East Sea, and the Western Desert. There are countless dangers inside, and even ordinary Nascent Soul experts dare not venture deep into it easily.”

Nanze Wilderness…

Yu Xian also looked at the endless, misty forest, filled with countless giant trees tens or even hundreds of feet tall, with the roars of unknown beasts and the chirping of birds slowly drifting over, creating a sense of oppression. His heart was heavy.

This is unlike those so-called wilderness areas; this place is truly untouched by human activity!

Within this vast expanse, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles and leading directly to the South China Sea, countless demonic beasts of all ranks and types roam!

Even many powerful figures among the human race dare not come here easily.

So if the four of them went in, their fate would be truly uncertain.

Looking at the boundless wilderness, Hua Yuan felt pressure, but he was determined not to give up.

With a sigh of relief, Hua Yuandu turned to the three people beside him and said in a deep voice, “Yu Xian, Shen Ce, Wei Yun, my inheritance trial actually began here. If you want to stay with me, then stay. If you are worried or afraid, you can leave now. I will not blame you.”

Shen Ce shook his head and said, “If there’s anything to worry about, I would have left long ago. How could I have stayed here with Fellow Daoist Hua?”

Wei Yun nodded and said, “That’s right! Fellow Daoist Hua, rest assured! I will stand with you through thick and thin! I only hope that after you receive the inheritance, you can teach me the method of reconstructing the Golden Core from the Pseudo-Core.”

Yu Xianping said calmly, “I am the same as you two fellow Daoists.”

“Very good! The three of you are helping me so much.”

Hua Yuandu solemnly declared, “If I inherit the legacy, I will share it equally with you! I, Hua Yuandu, keep my word! Let’s go!”

After saying that, Hua Yuandu turned around and led the way into the dense fog of the mountains and forests.

Yu Xian and the other two immediately followed.

The four of them quickly disappeared into the vast wilderness of Nanze.
