Chapter 341: The Inheritance of the Wuji Daoist!

As Chen Luo spoke, waves of icy cold energy emanated from his body.

This made the Chen family members present feel terrified.

Although Chen Luo’s aura had been strong before, it had never brought such an overwhelming pressure as tonight!

After going out for training once, his entire demeanor had undergone a tremendous change!

Even his parents standing before him, Lu Wanrong and Chen Nansheng, felt somewhat unfamiliar with him.

“Continue your meeting. I’ve just come back tonight for a brief rest. Tomorrow morning I’ll set off for the Central Region,” Chen Luo said.

“You just got back and you’re leaving again?” Lu Wanrong asked.

“Yes.” Chen Luo glanced at Lu Wanrong, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Lu Wanrong, Chen Nansheng, and the other Chen family members were all just outsiders to him.

The real Chen Luo had died long ago in that car accident when he was fifteen.

But this fact was known only to Old Man Chen; the other family members were unaware.

The current Chen Luo still needed the Chen family as a stepping stone and couldn’t leave them yet.

But once his power increased to the point where the Chen family had no value to him, he would leave without hesitation.

Nevertheless, he was interested in leading the Chen family to the top position in Huaibei.

Because he was born a winner, he enjoyed the thrill of standing at the peak.

“I’m going upstairs,” Chen Luo glanced at his parents, then turned to leave.

Tomorrow morning he would depart for the Blazing Flame Mountain Range in the Central Region to obtain the legacy of the Wuji Daoist.

The hall fell silent as they watched Chen Luo leave.

After Chen Luo disappeared from sight, Lu Wanrong turned to Chen Nansheng with a pale face and said, “Nansheng, why do I feel like Luo has become a stranger since he returned? He never used to speak to us so coldly…”

“Don’t overthink it. Luo is probably just in a bad mood,” Chen Nansheng patted Lu Wanrong’s shoulder reassuringly.

Old Man Chen, the only one who knew the secret about Chen Luo, merely sighed with a solemn expression.

From the moment he learned that Chen Luo had been possessed by a powerful being, he knew that one day, Chen Luo would leave the Chen family.

Compared to the powerful being possessing Chen Luo’s body, the Chen family was merely a pond.

But Chen Luo was a mighty dragon! He was destined to soar to the heavens!

The Chen family could not keep Chen Luo.

Old Man Chen’s only hope was that before leaving, Chen Luo would bring more benefits to the Chen family, securing their position as Huaibei’s number one martial arts family.

…

Fang Yu returned to his apartment, reflecting on the woman he met today and the giant black shadow his divine consciousness had captured.

The world seemed to be growing turbulent.

Undercurrents were flowing in various aspects.

In the past two thousand years, Fang Yu had never encountered so many situations as he had this year, even seeing many things unknown to him.

Of course, Fang Yu wasn’t omniscient, and considering he hadn’t been active for over a thousand years, it was normal that he wouldn’t know about the world’s changes.

But recently, there had been too many anomalies.

Regarding the immortal cultivation world… or today’s martial arts world, Fang Yu, who had lived for nearly five thousand years, had summarized a pattern.

That is, the more abundant the spiritual energy on Earth, the more major events occurred in the immortal cultivation world.

Four thousand years ago was the peak period of Earth’s spiritual energy.

During that time, the immortal cultivation world was filled with emerging talents and extraordinary individuals. Almost every few days, earth-shaking news would spread from somewhere in the world, such as legendary treasures appearing, prodigies breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm in just a few years, or rare divine beasts being discovered…

As time passed, the spiritual energy on Earth began to thin out.

Simultaneously, the frequency of these major events also decreased significantly.

This was the pattern.

The spiritual energy on Earth determined the prosperity or decline of the immortal cultivation world.

And now, the spiritual energy on Earth had thinned to an extreme point.

In the so-called martial arts world, even producing a single Nascent Soul cultivator could shock an entire region.

It was foreseeable that in not many years, spiritual energy would completely disappear from Earth.

Under such circumstances, the martial arts world should have been stagnant, with few anomalies.

For the past two thousand years, this had indeed been the case.

Although Fang Yu had been out of touch with worldly affairs for a long period, he had at least lived among people, and had heard of all major events.

But this year, the situation suddenly changed.

Just considering what Fang Yu had encountered – the Purple Flame Palace, the Shamanic God Cult, the masked person claiming to be the Heavenly Dao… including the huge black shadow beneath the ground today… and the assassin wielding the Five Poisons Sect techniques he had met before…

These phenomena could appear, but the frequency was too high.

In just a few short months, Fang Yu had encountered so many anomalies.

This didn’t fit the pattern!

Fang Yu walked to the apartment balcony, gazing at the night sky with a grave expression.

His intuition told him that the various anomalies he had encountered in the past year might be harbingers of some great change!

The stars in the night sky looked no different from a thousand years ago.

After standing on the balcony for a while, Fang Yu turned and went back inside.

At that moment, his phone rang.

It was Xia Xiaoying calling.

“Have you found the people from the Purple Flame Palace?” Fang Yu asked.

“No, but I just received intelligence. There’s an anomaly in the Blazing Flame Mountain Range in the southern part of the Central Region,” Xia Xiaoying paused, then said, “The Blazing Flame Mountain Range is the only volcanic group in the Nine Provinces Nation, though they’re all dormant volcanoes. But today around 6 PM, the Blazing Flame Mountain Range suddenly erupted with lava!”

“Fortunately, there are no residents within dozens of kilometers of the Blazing Flame Mountain Range, so the eruption didn’t cause much impact.”

“So?” Fang Yu asked.

“Later, I received a photo taken by a helicopter sent by the Geological Bureau,” Xia Xiaoying said with a shocked tone. “Besides spewing lava, those volcanic craters also emitted several huge beams of light! Seven volcanic craters, seven beams of different colors! Just like a rainbow!”

Fang Yu frowned.

“This incident has already caught the attention of the martial arts world in the Central Region. Many martial artists believe this is a phenomenon caused by the emergence of a divine artifact or an ancient powerful legacy! Many martial artists are already rushing to the Blazing Flame Mountain Range!” Xia Xiaoying continued, “I’m telling you this to see if you’re interested in going. If there really is some legacy or divine artifact, with your strength, you definitely have a chance to obtain it… and such a big commotion might also attract the Purple Flame Palace people you’re looking for…”

“Send me the photos of the scene,” Fang Yu said.

“Alright, I’ll send them right away,” Xia Xiaoying said before hanging up.

Seven volcanoes, seven beams of light…

This scene felt somewhat familiar to Fang Yu.

Soon, he received the photos from Xia Xiaoying.

In the photos were seven volcanic craters flowing with golden lava.

And from inside each of the seven craters extended huge beams of light.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple.

From a distance, the sight was extraordinarily magnificent.

But what Fang Yu cared about wasn’t this beautiful scenery.

Now, there was shock in his eyes.

He had seen this phenomenon once before.

This was the phenomenon that appeared during the founding ceremony of the Wuji Sect, a first-grade sect from over four thousand years ago!

At that time, Fang Yu had just started on the path of immortal cultivation, and his master had taken him to attend an exchange conference hosted by the Wuji Sect.

When that conference officially began, the seven main peaks of the Wuji Sect emitted seven-colored beams of light!

That was the peak period of the Wuji Sect.

Later, their sect leader, the Wuji Daoist, ascended to immortality and left Earth. From then on, the Wuji Sect began to decline, getting worse year by year, gradually lowering in rank, until finally all disciples left and the sect had to close its doors.

The immortal cultivation world discussed this matter, saying that the Wuji Daoist was inconsiderate for not leaving any legacy for the Wuji Sect before his ascension, leading to its decline.

But now, seeing the seven beams of light in the photo, Fang Yu could confirm that this was the same phenomenon the Wuji Sect had displayed back then!

“Could it be… that the Wuji Daoist had left a legacy for the Wuji Sect’s descendants from the beginning… but no one in the Wuji Sect discovered it?” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered with excitement.

Back then, after attending the conference hosted by the Wuji Sect, he had regarded the Wuji Sect as a sacred place in his heart for a long time.

The seven-colored beams were truly heart-stirring.

Seeing this phenomenon again now, waves of emotion stirred in Fang Yu’s long-dormant heart.

“I must go to the Blazing Flame Mountain Range!” Fang Yu thought.
