"You're a toad lusting after swan meat!" the Spirit Maiden said angrily.
"Can a toad pass the trials of four Holy Beasts and take all the inheritances in the Spirit Patriarch Palace?" An Lin didn't back down and retorted.
The Spirit Maiden choked upon hearing this, and her face flushed red.
"In any case, even if I die and live alone in the Spirit Patriarch Palace forever, or even perish together with the Spirit Patriarch Palace, I will never acknowledge you as my master!"
The Spirit Maiden pointed a finger at An Lin's nose and said angrily.
An Lin blinked.
Why did this sound so familiar?
It was also at this moment that the space around them suddenly began to tremor.
A gate of light suddenly appeared in the middle of the vast palace.
Immediately afterward, a majestic and invigorating voice sounded. "Congratulations, trial-taker. You have obtained the core inheritances of four Holy Beasts in a row. The hidden trial of the Spirit Patriarch is now activated. Trial-Taker is welcome to participate."
An Lin was astonished upon hearing this. Had he obtained a new achievement and unlocked a hidden mission?
The Spirit Maiden was rooted to the spot.
"The Spirit Patriarch! This is the voice of the Spirit Patriarch! Who would have thought that he would leave behind an invisible restriction in the palace …" The Spirit Maiden was extremely excited, as if she had discovered a new continent.
An Lin stepped into the gate of light without any hesitation.
"Wait for me!" The Spirit Maiden followed behind An Lin and also flew into the gate of light.
A powerful spatial power swept toward them.
An Lin realized that this was a small mystic realm within the Spirit Patriarch Palace.
Soon, the space around them transformed, and a strange place filled with jagged rocks and vibrant soul power appeared before their eyes. There were harmless spirit bodies floating around, and they sized up An Lin curiously.
They flew toward the Spirit Maiden in an intimate manner as soon as she appeared.
A spirit body with a mushroom-like head and a deep-fried dough stick spread open its arms, and a rose appeared. It was confessing its love to the Spirit Maiden.
A spirit body that resembled a white ball even snuck over and tried to kiss the Spirit Maiden's cheek. However, it was mercilessly slapped away by the Spirit Maiden.
An Lin was quite intrigued. It looked like the Spirit Maiden was also a goddess among the Void Spirit Tribe.
It seemed like the Void Spirit Tribe didn't choose their partners based on looks. Instead, they only looked at the attributes of their spirit bodies.
This was also why the Sword Essence Emperor, the Chaotic Demon Ball, and the other Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures had all expressed their approval toward the Spirit Maiden when she had transformed into a sinister monster.
Now that he thought about it, the Void Spirit Tribe was the most romantic and shameless tribe.
Yes, choosing a mate only depends on your inner self, only your interesting soul.
As for appearance? Sorry, Void Spirit Tribe living beings had no fixed appearance. Ten thousand Void Spirit Tribe living beings had ten thousand strange appearances …
The Spirit Maiden's spirit body attributes were most likely quite good. All of the Void Spirit Tribe living beings in the mystic realm were rushing toward her and professing their love. However, the Void Spirit Tribe living beings were quickly intimidated by her violent personality and restrained themselves.
"There are so many weak Void Spirit Tribe living beings here, and there are also many undulating hills, but they're all a mess. Where is the Spirit Patriarch, and where is the trial taking place?" An Lin was perplexed.
The Spirit Maiden closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she pointed a slender finger in a certain direction. "I can sense the Spirit Patriarch's aura. It's in that direction."
An Lin immediately set off upon hearing this. After walking for about a dozen kilometers, he discovered an ordinary-looking cave atop a mundane looking hill.
"Hmm … The mighty Spirit Patriarch buried himself in this cave?" An Lin finally sensed a peculiar aura upon arriving here. It was extremely faint, but it was impossible to ignore as the soul power emanating from it made even An Lin's consciousness tremble.
"How can you imagine how low-key my master is?" The Spirit Maiden raised her chin.
An Lin rolled his eyes. What's with that expression? Is this something to be proud of?
"Master regards money and fame as dirt, and he dedicated his entire life to the research of spirit bodies. He is the undisputed number one being in the Void Spirit Tribe, and he paved a path of hope for billions of Void Spirit Tribe living beings to reach the Great Dao. The Void Spirit Tribe can't find a second such a mighty being! "The Spirit Maiden's eyes were filled with admiration and yearning as she talked about the Spirit Patriarch.
"Such a mighty being who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Why did he die?" An Lin asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
The Spirit Maiden faltered slightly upon hearing this. Then, a hint of grief appeared on her face, and she shook her head. "I can't tell you. The Spirit Patriarch personally told me that he can only tell me the true reason for his death."
Tell me the true reason?
The Spirit Patriarch is already dead. Can I still tell him?
An Lin couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
He walked into the cave and continued forward for about a hundred meters. Then, he saw a red barrier that isolated and protected him from the outside world. This barrier was of a very high rank.
It seemed to be able to scan An Lin's body. After ascertaining that An Lin's consciousness possessed a few unique auras, the barrier suddenly opened up to welcome him.
An Lin walked in, and he was greeted by the sight of a large laboratory.
There were all kinds of strange instruments on the laboratory, some of which were extremely intricate and high-end. They could slice and peel, reconstruct life forms, impact particles, and reconstruct space. There were all kinds of functions, and it was comparable to what he had seen in Bai Ling's research room. Some of the instruments were extremely strange. They looked like ancient cauldrons, chains, and ghostly totem poles. There were countless curses and strange energy engraved on them.
An Lin also saw a series of spirit monsters that were still stored in transparent containers. They were enshrouded by some kind of special energy, and they still possessed signs of life. However, they were all in a deep slumber.
He also saw the Spirit Patriarch's body. It was a delicate and pretty skeleton.
The skeleton was only about the size of a child. It had the skull of a dragon, the wings of a phoenix, and the body of a human. From its bone structure, it had four arms and two legs, and they were all human.
As for why An Lin was certain that this was the Spirit Patriarch, it was because this little skeleton was releasing a soul power that made even An Lin's heart palpitate. It was dead, but it didn't die!
The Spirit Patriarch sat silently on a laboratory chair. In front of him was a workbench. It was as if it were using its decaying voice to shout, "I, the Spirit Patriarch, will die in this laboratory even if I die!"
As expected of a research maniac.
This identity definitely wasn't just for show!
Which supreme being didn't have a majestic and imposing statue or a vast and majestic mausoleum after they died?
However, this Spirit Patriarch didn't stick to any of these conventions. Its body sat silently in this small laboratory. It was so simple and so simple. It was as if time had frozen at the moment of its death. It was also a vivid depiction of its life's pursuit.
An Lin was moved, but his attention was still focused on the inheritance.
He turned his gaze toward a pitch-black stone slab beside the Spirit Patriarch. A series of white words were written densely on the slab.
An Lin was instantly dumbfounded when he saw the largest words at the top of the black stone slab.
The words were written on the slab: Do you want to obtain my inheritance? Do you want to obtain wealth, fame, and power? Then answer the questions! Answer all one hundred questions correctly, and I'll give everything to you!
