Chapter 301 Fifth Level Palace The Strongest Mans Last Wish

The two stopped in their tracks, both with joy on their faces.

This “Lin” technique for escaping into the void is more than 50% faster than the void-escaping techniques the two of them are currently using!

This is a very large gap.

After all, given their speed of escape, they were among the top cultivators, not to mention those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment or even those at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage.

However, in ordinary combat and pursuit, their speed is no slower than others.

But now, with the activation of the Forest Technique, the speed has increased by another 50%!

It’s easy to imagine that in the future, when the two of them fight or kill others, whether they are fleeing or chasing, they will have a great deal of initiative!

Moreover, the two of them have only just grasped the essence of this “Forest” technique. As they delve deeper into its meaning, their escape speed will only increase.

If the latter two do not obtain it, or if they create a better and faster method of escaping into the void.

This “Lin” technique is already sufficient for the two of them to reach the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Deity Transformation stages!

As expected of a spell created by a Void Returning expert.

Hua Yuandu exclaimed with delight, “What a wonderful escape technique! Although it’s much slower than my combined sword and man speed, how can I use my combined sword and man speed so often? This escape technique is even faster than my sword flight!”

“Hmm, that’s a good escape technique.”

Yu Xian nodded. This Lin Character Technique was more than 50% faster than his Spirit Body Step. In the future, he would no longer need the Spirit Body Step to escape into the void, and could simply activate this Lin Character Technique.

“You are the second person to comprehend the Lin character formula, and you will receive the second inheritance reward from my fourth trial.”

“You are the third person to comprehend the Lin character formula, and you will receive the third inheritance reward from my fourth trial.”

Two voices rang out one after the other, both stemming from that thought.

Then, two streaks of light flew one after the other to Yu Xian and Hua Yuandu.

“Are you and I second or third?”

Hua Yuan frowned and said, “Could it be that the first place is that bitch?”

Yu Xian looked at the fading light before her and said calmly, “It should be her.”

The light faded, and what remained suspended in front of me was a white jade bottle.

magic weapon?

Or is it a bottle containing the precious pill?

“Then we’d better hurry. It would be such a pity and so hateful if that bitch took the inheritance!”

Hua Yuan frowned and scanned the area ahead. The withered forest had gradually disappeared, clearly formed by illusory magic.

Now that the two have grasped the essence of the “Lin” character, the illusory magic has naturally dissipated.

Only those who come after can see it again and continue to understand it.

“You don’t need to rush.”

Yu Xian shook his head, reached out and grasped the white bottle, and looked ahead, saying, “The inheritance here is not some specific thing. Since we stepped into this place and began our trials, we have actually been gradually accepting the inheritance of King Zheng Cheng.”

“Um?”

Hua Yuandu also reached out and grasped the jade bottle in front of him, looking at Yu Xian with some surprise, and said, “How do you know that the predecessor who left this place of inheritance was named King Zheng Cheng? Oh, and you refined and bound the jade pendant fragment of Yun Buyi to your own?”

“good.”

Yu Xian nodded and said, “I have already refined that jade pendant fragment, and I know some of the information about it.”

“No wonder.”

Hua Yuandu casually refined the jade bottle and looked ahead, saying, “You’re right. In fact, we have been receiving inheritance all along. The Mountain Technique, the formation, the treasures, the Wind Technique, the Forest Technique, and the rewards for clearing the level are all part of the inheritance.”

Yu Xian also refined the jade bottle and learned its origin.

This jade bottle is called the Elixir Nourishing Bottle, and it belongs to the category of rare treasures. It has good effects.

Even if elixirs are sealed in jade bottles, their efficacy will gradually decrease over time.

If the time is very long, the medicinal effect may be completely lost, rendering it a useless pill.

This jade bottle, however, can preserve all pills of the eighth rank and below, and their effects will be retained no matter how long they have been stored.

Even low-grade pills placed in this jade bottle can be nurtured and promoted to higher grades.

Of course, it’s just a slight nurturing and advancement.

For example, if you put in a top-grade third-tier precious pill, it might be nurtured into a low-grade fourth-tier precious pill after a period of time.

However, it’s impossible to nurture an ordinary first-tier pill inside and nurture it to the fifth or sixth tier.

It’s a pretty good item. When your cultivation level reaches a higher level in the future, and you often go into seclusion for more than ten or even several decades, this jade bottle will be a valuable treasure to ensure that the medicinal properties of the pills are not compromised.

However, this treasure is of little use to Yu Xian now.

Yu Xian put away the pill-nourishing bottle and said with a smile, “Let’s go to the fifth level. It’s probably the location of the final level, the Fire Technique, and also the final place where that senior left his thoughts.”

“Let’s go! If that bitch values ​​her life, she’ll run away! Otherwise, I won’t show any mercy!”

Hua Yuandu’s gaze turned cold, and he took a step forward, using the Lin-character technique to escape into the void and disappear into the distance.

Gao Yu tortured him to the point of wishing he were dead with her soul-capturing magic weapon. Several large chunks of flesh were bitten off his tongue, and it hasn’t fully healed yet. If he were to run into her again, he would definitely stab her with several bloody holes!

Yu Xian remained calm as he stepped out and headed towards the fifth level.

Unexpectedly, when he chased Gao Yu into the black mist, she gained the upper hand, and her quicker advance led to her even greater advantage.

I wonder if she has successfully mastered the fifth level?

What was left behind by that Void Returning expert in the end?

The woods disappeared, leaving behind a vast open space.

In the distance, the air currents twisted, resembling patches of water, waves, and swirling clouds…

Waves of heat were already emanating from it.

fire……

Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest are not ranked in terms of superiority or inferiority; they belong to various different types of magic.

Fire is one of the purest and most aggressive representations.

Fire-type spells seem ordinary and commonplace; every cultivator knows a few fire-based spells.

But very few people truly grasp its essence.

If one masters the essence of fire magic, its destructive power is absolutely remarkable. If one can even reach the level of creation, then its power is supreme, no weaker than that of lightning tribulation!

It is said that the Samadhi True Fire, the Five Samadhi True Fire, the Heavenly Divine Fire, and even the World-Destroying Calamity Fire, etc., are all manifestations of the ultimate killing power of fire.

Therefore, the Fire Mantra left by King Zheng Cheng must be one or more great fire-based spells, the final and ultimate inheritance.

The two traveled several more miles, and the air grew increasingly hot. Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared on the ground ahead. Upon closer inspection, they found a lava pool that was tens of feet long and wide, with rolling lava slowly churning and waves of heat sweeping around it.

On the lava pool, there floated a palace, neither too big nor too small, rising and falling with the rolling lava.

“It seems this is the final destination.”

The two landed in front of the lava pool and each cast spells to resist the terrible heat.

At such temperatures, if an ordinary person stood that close, they would be instantly dried out and burned.

Hua Yuandu looked at the lava pool before him and the palace within it, and frowned, saying, “Shall we go into the palace, or do we try to understand it outside?”

Yu Xian was also frowning in thought, unsure whether to enter the palace or continue to study the lava pool outside. Hearing Hua Yuandu’s words, he couldn’t help but complain, “Can’t you think for yourself? Why do you ask me everything? Am I here to retrieve the inheritance or are you?”

“Forehead……”

Hua Yuandu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, “You’re a little smarter than me, alright, alright, I’ll think of it myself, just don’t mind the time it takes.”

As he spoke, Hua Yuandu looked at the lava pool and palace in front of him, frowning in deep thought.

Yu Xian solved most of the problems along the way, so he got used to asking Yu Xian for help.

But I’m not stupid either; thinking about it together is the right thing to do.

Yu Xian shook his head helplessly, frowned as he looked at the lava pool and the palace, then suddenly his gaze sharpened and he said, “Gao Yu should be inside the palace.”

The palace gates have remained untouched for tens of thousands of years; even without dust, they should be perfectly sealed.

But upon closer inspection, the massive hinge of the palace gate had clearly turned once, revealing a new trace!

Who can open the door?

It must be Gao Yu; she’s already inside!

“Um!?”

Hua Yuandu’s gaze suddenly sharpened, his spiritual power surged, and his sword light flashed. In the next instant, he shot out like a sword beam, heading straight for the palace!

“What are you doing? Watch out, there might be an ambush!”

Yu Xian hadn’t expected Hua Yuandu to react this way, so he quickly shouted and strode after him.

“You bitch, do you think I can’t do anything to you just because you’re hiding inside?!”

Hua Yuandu let out a furious shout and pointed forward with two fingers together!

boom!

Sword energy roared, and rolling sword beams shot forward, attempting to blast open the palace gates so that the gates could not block them in the slightest, allowing them to directly enter the palace.

But this main hall was the residence of that Void Returning expert back then, how could it be shaken by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Hua Yuandu?

You can push the door open and enter, but you can’t just bombard them with magic!

With a loud bang, all the sword energy shattered, but the gate remained completely unmoved.

On the contrary, Hua Yuandu’s expression changed from shock. He stopped on the spot, his face turned red, and he endured for a long time before he was able to suppress the power that was causing his blood and qi to surge.

Yu Xian followed closely behind, glanced at Hua Yuandu, and then quickly stepped forward. Protected by the Wood God Armor and surrounded by the Spirit God Shield, his muscles were already taut. He reached out and pushed the palace gate!

Rumble…

With a push, the massive palace doors slowly opened!

Yu Xian focused intently on the front, ready to defend himself should anything change once the door opened.

But as the doorway was pushed up to half a zhang wide, no attacks occurred. Could it be that Gao Yu wasn’t inside?

If she were inside, and we didn’t launch a sudden attack at this time, then once Yu Xian and Hua Yuan entered the main hall, she would truly have no chance to escape!

Hua Yuan took a few deep breaths, quickly walked over, stood with Yu Xian, and looked into the main hall.

Light surged into the main hall once more. The surroundings were empty, but in front of them sat a person, sitting cross-legged with his back to the two people, and behind him were four futons.

Gao Yu was already sitting on a futon behind this person!

“A living person!?”

At that moment, Yu Xian and Hua Yuandu’s pupils contracted simultaneously.

Gao Yu was inside the hall, which was expected.

But who is that Taoist priest?!

Could it be the master of this inheritance site?! That Void Returning Grandmaster?!

He’s not dead?!

Yu Xian and Hua Yuan both stood at the door, hesitant.

To go in, or not to go in?

“Who cares!”

Hua Yuandu suddenly shouted, “Kill this slut first!”

As he spoke, he was about to make another move.

But Yu Xian suddenly placed his hand on his shoulder, suppressing his outburst.

“Don’t act rashly!”

Yu Xian said in a deep voice, “She dares to sit here so openly, she’s not afraid of you making a move. If you make a move and trigger some mechanism, you will be instantly reduced to ashes under the majesty of a Void Returning Great Power!”

Hua Yuandu’s eyes twitched, filled with anger as he stared at Gao Yu’s retreating figure, his sword intent surging. But in the end, he restrained himself, letting out a sigh and saying, “You’re right, but that bitch is truly hateful…”

We’ll talk about it later.

Yu Xian said slowly, “Let’s go in and see what’s going on.”

“Walk.”

Hua Yuan nodded, and the two of them immediately stepped into the palace without hesitation.

“You’ve come…”

But just as the two stepped into the palace, a calm voice rang in their ears, the same voice that had sounded in the sky earlier.

The palace gates then closed.

Yu Xian and Hua Yuan both frowned, looking at the Taoist’s back in front of them, as well as Gao Yu.

“My inherited jade pendant split into four, circulating for many years, its whereabouts unknown… Now it has finally been gathered together, and has arrived…”

The voice rang out again, and Yu Xian’s storage bag suddenly lit up, and the jade pendant fragments inside were forcibly pulled out!

Yu Xian’s expression changed slightly, but he did not make any move.

Being able to retrieve items from someone else’s storage bag is beyond his current comprehension.

Similarly, two jade pendant fragments flew out from Hua Yuandu’s place, one of his own and one of Zhou Feng’s.

A fragment of a jade pendant also flew out from Gao Yu’s side. At this moment, she slowly exhaled, as if she had just realized that the two had arrived. She turned to look at the two and said indifferently, “You two are really slow to arrive. Your comprehension is really too poor.”

“You son of a bitch…”

Hua Yuandu’s eyebrows shot up immediately, and his sword intent was about to erupt.

Yu Xian reached out and patted his shoulder, saying calmly, “So what if you came quickly? You’re still just sitting here doing nothing.”

“Sitting idly?”

Gao Yu smiled calmly and slowly stood up.

Her clothes remained the same, but she was noticeably taller, several inches taller, and her figure appeared more slender and graceful.

Her disguise is gradually disappearing.

Just like Hua Yuandu, the disguise he had made when he came had been largely worn away by the various fights, comprehending techniques, and chaotic actions, leaving only a human skin mask on his face, making his true appearance unknown.

“I have already gained some understanding of the Fire Technique. You cannot catch up with me.”

There was a hint of arrogance in her eyes, a confidence in her own abilities.

“Congratulations!”

Yu Xian nodded calmly and looked indifferently at the jade pendant.

Hua Yuandu’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Whether you can even leave this palace of inheritance alive is another matter entirely! So what if you comprehend the Fire Mantra!?

The four jade pendants had merged back into one, and then landed on the head of the figure in the back, melting into it.

“Hmm…”

At that moment, the figure in the back let out a soft whisper, as if it had just woken up.

Yu Xian’s expression changed slightly, and he took a step back.

Hua Yuandu was startled and hurriedly looked at the figure from behind.

Gao Yu chuckled and said, “Congratulations on your awakening, senior. Please feel free to tell me anything. As a junior who has received your teachings, I will do my duty without hesitation!”

“I knew you would fight amongst yourselves. I thought only one of you would arrive in the end, but it turns out only one of you died. That’s not bad.”

The figure did not turn around, but a voice came, carrying a sense of vicissitude.

The three of them did not say much.

The figure said, “You all know who I am, as the information is left in the jade pendant fragments. Now I only want to ask one question: are there any of you willing to become my disciples?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people immediately froze.

Becoming an apprentice?

You’ve been dead for so many years, and now all that’s left is a thought that clearly won’t last long before it vanishes. What’s the use of taking you as my master?

Moreover, each of the three of them has their own master.

Hua Yuandu’s eyes flashed, and he respectfully asked, “Senior, you have already perished, so why do you still want to take on disciples now?”

“Those who are willing to become my disciples, all the inheritance here will belong to my disciples.”

The figure didn’t explain, but simply repeated the same sentence.

Clang.

The next moment, a sound came, and Hua Yuandu was seen kneeling on the ground, his expression respectful, and he shouted loudly, “Disciple Hua Yuandu is willing to take Senior as his master!”

Gao Yu’s expression changed, and she hurriedly lifted her skirt and knelt down, saying, “Disciple Bing Ning is willing to become your disciple, senior.”

Only Yu Xian, whose expression had already calmed down, remained silent.

Seeing that Yu Xian remained unmoved, Hua Yuandu quickly turned to look at him and gave him a wink.

This Void Returning expert is long dead; it’s just a thought, and becoming his disciple is nothing but a joke.

Once we inherit the legacy, who will remember this cheap “master”?

Quickly kneel down and become an apprentice. Given the choice of three, the chances of the two of them being an apprentice are naturally much greater than Gao Yu’s.

Once we obtain the inheritance, we’ll kill this bitch named Bingning and then divide the inheritance equally.

But Yu Xian pretended not to see Hua Yuandu’s gaze.

He looked at that retreating figure and suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice, “There’s no need for me to become your disciple. If you trust me, senior, please pass on your legacy to me. Rest assured, senior, I swear on my Dao foundation that if I ever gain the ability in the future, I will find your true spirit in the cycle of reincarnation and awaken you!”

What do you mean by taking on apprentices?

In truth, the strong man’s last wish was nothing more than to accept a responsibility and a bond!
