Inside the cave that was as bright as day, the ground under Tan Xiu and Xue Yu's feet suddenly rotated and an enormous devouring force instantly disappeared.
"Where are we?"
In the next moment, the two of them appeared in an empty underground space. Scorching hot magma converged into a river and flowed in front of them, gushing into the rock stratum of the unknown cave. A head-sized green ball of light was suspended above the magma river, exuding a strong aura of vitality that made the pores all over one's body open.
Xue Yu pointed to the wall opposite the magma river and said, "Look over there!"
Tan Xiu looked in the direction of her finger and his expression suddenly changed because he saw a statue sitting on a huge bluestone in the surrounding shallow pool. There were also some words engraved on the bluestone wall.
"Let's go and have a look."
Tan Xiu hugged Xue Yu in his arms and floated up, dashing to the front of the statue in just a few seconds. While looking at the shallow pool around the statue, Tan Xiu's eyes slowly moved and finally landed on the words on the bluestone wall.
"I'm Dao Master Guai. I have thousands of incarnations and countless names, but only this name is true. Those who enter my cultivation place belong to the fated ones. Those who wish to worship me as their Master must kowtow and worship me to obtain my true inheritance. "
Tan Xiu and Xue Yu exchanged dismayed glances. They had been searching for a long time, yet they didn't see the Immortal Trove. Instead, they were fated to receive the inheritance of a cultivator. Tang Xiu was very disappointed. He was utterly disappointed. Given his former status and strength, why would he need to obtain the inheritance of others?
"It turns out that this Immortal Trove is Dao Master Guai's inheritance," said Xue Yu softly.
"I wouldn't have opened this Immortal Trove if I had known about this earlier." Tan Xiu forced a wry smile. "What a waste of time!"
"Isn't it a good thing to obtain his inheritance?" asked Xue Yu, confused.
"Unless he's a deity from the God Realm, his inheritance is worthless to me." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Forget it. Since you've spent so much effort to open this Immortal Trove and have come here, just give it a try! In any case, I don't have the slightest interest in Dao Master Guai's inheritance. "
Xue Yu hesitated for a moment. Then, following Tan Xiu's instructions, she came to the praying mat outside the shallow pool and kowtowed. Just as she raised her head after performing the ceremonial ceremony, the statue suddenly emitted a tremendous aura. The dark green liquid in the shallow pool turned into a water dragon that instantly enveloped Xue Yu. The head-sized green light ball suspended above the river of lava suddenly shrank a hundred times, turning into a thumb-sized light shadow that drilled into Xue Yu's head.
"Buzz …"
A mysterious aura formed in the entire underground space. Tan Xiu suddenly turned his head to look around and found that there were nine green light beads embedded in the walls of this space. As the green light beads connected with the green energy tide on Xue Yu's body, the green mist filled every corner of this space in just a few seconds.
"This is?"
Tan Xiu held his breath and looked surprised. He could clearly feel that the green aura surging around his body had an extremely strong repulsion to him. It was as if there were two positive and negative magnetic poles that were faintly repelling him out of this space.
"Hmph …"
Tan Xiu quickly grabbed the array disc and arranged it in the position of the Four Divisions Array lightning-fast. He then released his Primal Chaos Force to force the green aura out a few meters and immediately activated the array. Suddenly, the oppressive aura in his chest disappeared without a trace.
At this moment …
Tan Xiu raised his hand to touch his chin. A pondering look flashed in his eyes. He felt that this inheritance method was not something an ordinary cultivator could achieve. Unless one had reached the Immortal Realm, it would be very difficult to achieve this even with the help of arrays.
"Dao Master Guai … I've never heard of this name in the Immortal World. Presumably, he's not a powerful figure, right? However, it seems that the inheritance ceremony will take some time, so I'd better wait! "
Tan Xiu sat cross-legged and was ready to absorb the power of the stars to begin cultivating. However, he was dumbfounded to find that the green energy floating outside the Four Divisions Array had completely isolated this space from the outside world. Even if he forced himself to cultivate, he could no longer absorb the power of the stars from the outside world.
"Strange!"
Tan Xiu sighed and immediately gave up the idea of cultivating. He took out a book from his interspatial ring and sat cross-legged on the ground to read it quietly.
Time flew by.
After a full twelve hours, Tan Xiu had finished reading the fourth book and digested all the contents in it. His expression slightly changed as he looked at Xue Yu, who was shrouded in green light.
"I see."
Xue Yu looked at the statue in front of her. Her red lips opened slightly, and an emotionless voice came out. As her voice fell, she gently waved her arm. Suddenly, all the green light floating in the underground space swarmed toward her body. In just a few breaths, the entire space was restored to its original state.
"This aura is so strong."
Tan Xiu looked at Xue Yu in shock. He could feel that Xue Yu's body was brimming with power. Just the aura she exuded inadvertently made him feel suffocated. He couldn't even figure out whether this powerful aura came from Xue Yu or from Dao Master Guai who gave her the inheritance.
"Tan Xiu."
Xue Yu bowed to the statue and then floated outside the Four Divisions Array.
Tan Xiu removed the Four Divisions Array and circled around Xue Yu. After observing her for a long time, he asked, "What's your current cultivation level?"
Xue Yu thought for a moment and suddenly smiled. With a flick of her long sleeves, a mini version of Xue Yu appeared out of thin air, exuding a green light. This mini version of Xue Yu even winked at Tan Xiu and then covered her mouth with a chuckle.
"Nascent Soul?"
Tan Xiu was shocked as he looked at the naked mini version of Xue Yu, who looked somewhat mischievous in the green light. His heart fiercely twitched a few times. He never dreamed that Xue Yu could directly break through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage just by obtaining an inheritance.
"I don't seem to be at the Nascent Soul Stage." Xue Yu chuckled.
"Holy shit!"
Tan Xiu was shocked speechless and could only stare at Xue Yu's Nascent Soul.
Suddenly …
Xue Yu's pretty face blushed. She waved her long sleeves and immediately took back her Nascent Soul into her body. She didn't feel anything wrong when her Nascent Soul was naked at first, but Tan Xiu's eyes made her somewhat unable to bear it.
Tan Xiu looked up in amazement and saw the shy blush on Xue Yu's face. He suddenly realized something and burst into laughter. "We've been husband and wife for a long time, so don't be shy. I have some good stuff here, and we'll have Dual Cultivation sooner or later. No, I can't cultivate my Nascent Soul at all even if I change my cultivation technique. "
"You can't cultivate your Nascent Soul? Why? "
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and said with a bit of regret, "I used to cultivate a supreme immortal art, so I can naturally cultivate my Nascent Soul and Immortal Nascent Soul. But due to some special reasons, I became an ordinary person again, so I changed my cultivation technique to a more profound one. It's also a cultivation technique that focuses on refining the body, but it's impossible to cultivate my Nascent Soul. "
Xue Yu gently nodded. Although her cultivation had increased a lot and she also obtained a lot of useful knowledge from the inheritance, she still didn't know much about Tan Xiu's situation.
Tan Xiu didn't want to talk about his problem anymore, so he looked at Xue Yu and asked, "Tell me, you got the inheritance of Dao Master Guai. Who is this Dao Master Guai? What did he teach you? "
Xue Yu spread her palm and a green light sphere suddenly appeared. She then said, "This is my Master's Medium Sphere. As long as I activate it, my Master's Divine Sense will appear here."
After saying that …
She immediately activated the green light sphere.
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. His expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly shouted, "Don't activate it, I …"
"Buzz …"
A terrifying aura emanated from the green light sphere. In nearly an instant, the green light sphere exploded and formed a green figure in front of Tan Xiu and Xue Yu. He was thin and had a sage-like demeanor. He looked like an immortal.
"Xue Yu? I didn't expect my Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect to have a female disciple. How troublesome! " Dao Master Guai shook his head and helplessly said, "Fine, fine. Hand over a wisp of your Divine Sense and you'll be a disciple of my Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect from now on. But … after you ascend to the Immortal World, you must never directly seek refuge with me. I'll leave a mark in your Knowledge Sea, so you can directly go there to find me after you ascend. "
Xue Yu hurriedly knelt and respectfully kowtowed three times to Dao Master Guai. Then, she asked, "Why can't I go to the Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect to find you, Master? Aren't you one of the Elders of the Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect? It's mentioned in the inheritance you left me! "
"I'll let him answer this question for you! His Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect only accepts male disciples and doesn't accept female ones. It can be said that once bitten, ten thousand years afraid of ropes. "Tan Xiu sighed inwardly. He reached out to pull Xue Yu up and calmly said.
Dao Master Guai stared blankly. Only now did he notice that there was a young man beside his disciple. With a bit of shock, he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? This should be Earth, right? How do you know the situation of my Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect in the Immortal World? "
A faint smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth. "I don't know how much time has passed in the Immortal World, but I do know one thing. That old ancestor of your Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect was killed by my subordinate. It's also because of my subordinate that your Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect doesn't want to recruit female disciples. I may not know your name, Dao Master Guai, but I know your Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect's Pristine Liuhe. "
"What?!"
Dao Master Guai exclaimed and instantly retreated a few steps back. Looking at the faint smile on Tan Xiu's face, his eyes stared fixedly at Tan Xiu. After a long while, he suddenly knelt in front of Tan Xiu and spoke with 70% fear and 30% respect, "Dao Master Guai, the 326th generation disciple of the Pristine Immortal Confucian Sect, pays respect to Lord Supreme. This Junior didn't know you were here and was rude just now. I hope Lord Supreme can forgive me. "
