Free Web NovelChapter 113: Secret Realm Inheritance
“Congratulations to the Holy Son on breaking through to the Saint King Realm!”
After Lu Xiaoyao broke through to the Saint King Realm, the disciples who had previously lost the strength to keep fighting had already recovered their ability to move. They came before Lu Xiaoyao and congratulated him.
At the same time, their hearts were filled with envy. One had to know that the Holy Son was only in his teens, yet he had already broken through to the Saint King Realm.
When they were in their teens, they had not even reached Core Condensation.
“Keep it low-key. This was just routine.”
Lu Xiaoyao had a humble expression, but the corners of his mouth were somewhat impossible to suppress.
“Brother, are you all right?”
Lu Qingyun came before Lu Xiaoyao and asked with a worried expression.
“I am fine. It was a small matter. If I faced that Demon Monarch again now, I could easily crush and kill it.”
Lu Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.
At this moment, however, a disciple asked in confusion, “Logically speaking, a Saint Monarch Great Demon should not have fallen so easily. Also, it clearly could have dealt with the Holy Son just now, so why did it hold back?”
As soon as these words fell, the expressions of the disciples present became slightly solemn. Clearly, they had all thought of this point.
But after analyzing it for a while, Lu Xiaoyao explained, “Perhaps it was because of the pride of the Yellow Lightning Swift Tiger Race. After all, I was only a mere Peak Emperor Realm cultivator.”
“It is also possible that it was toying with me. But no matter what, I am the one alive now, and it is the one dead.”
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao had said this, they thought about it and felt that it did seem reasonable, so they simply stopped thinking about it.
At that moment, a voice appeared in the minds of every cultivator who had entered the Tiannan Secret Realm.
“If you wish to obtain my inheritance, you may head to the far north of the secret realm. The inheritance will open seven days from now.”
“Who? Who is speaking?”
Lu Xiaoyao’s expression instantly became solemn. He looked toward the surrounding disciples, only to see that their expressions were similarly incomparably grave.
“Holy Son, did you hear it as well?”
“It seems that all of you heard that voice. In that case, let us go.”
Seeing that everyone had heard that voice, Lu Xiaoyao immediately became eager to try.
However, they were somewhat worried. Several disciples who had once entered the Tiannan Secret Realm stepped forward and advised him.
“Holy Son, if everyone heard it, there is probably something suspicious about this. Should we be more careful?”
“It does not matter. We will simply go. We have more than one hundred and fifty Saint Kings here. What is there to worry about?”
“If you are not going, then this Holy Son will go by himself.”
Lu Xiaoyao had no apprehension at all and spoke with a serious expression.
When the other disciples heard this, they all sighed helplessly. In the end, they could only agree.
In the shadows, Lu Xunxian looked toward the far north of the secret realm, at the Inheritance Gate that had already appeared, and murmured to himself, “Very well. Let him experience this kind of thing. Next time, he will not be so careless and reckless.”
As soon as his words fell, Lu Xunxian had already arrived before the Inheritance Gate and quietly waited there.
The moment the voice spread throughout the entire Tiannan Secret Realm, all the cultivators who learned of the news instantly became excited. That was a mighty expert’s inheritance. If they obtained it, it would truly be enough to defy fate and change their lives.
Thus, for a time, all the cultivators who had entered began hurrying toward the far north.
The Tiannan Secret Realm was extremely vast. Even for Saint King cultivators, traveling from the far south to the far north would take several days, so they naturally could not delay.
“Eldest Senior Brother, let us hurry over!”
On Feng Qingyu’s side, after learning that there was a mighty expert’s inheritance, her heart faintly became excited.
She seemed to have seen the opportunity to break through to the Saint King Realm.
But Xu Nan’s expression was grave. He was knowledgeable and experienced, so he naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free meal under heaven.
“There is probably something suspicious about this matter. If we rush over rashly, something may easily happen.”
Xu Nan spoke slowly. An Luan also nodded, while Feng Qingyu and the other two looked anxious.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what if that mighty expert wants to choose a suitable person to receive the inheritance?” ƒrēewebnovel.com
“If we do not go, what will we do if the inheritance is taken by someone else?”
Xu Nan’s expression was complicated. “This…”
Only after quite a while did he finally sigh helplessly and compromise.
“Very well. Since that is the case, then we will go.”
“But remember, you must be careful.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Feng Qingyu and the others naturally agreed to Xu Nan’s reminder. After all, cultivation had always been incomparably dangerous, so they naturally had to be extremely careful.
Before the Inheritance Gate, Lu Xunxian sat beneath a large tree with his eyes closed, waiting for the Inheritance Gate to open.
Over these seven days, Lu Xunxian witnessed countless cultivators approach the Inheritance Gate. However, because the Inheritance Gate had not yet opened, they all waited outside.
What surprised him somewhat was that those two little girls from before had actually run over to him again.
“Hello. We met again.”
Xu Rou walked up to him and spoke as though they were already familiar.
Lu Xunxian frowned slightly and asked, “Do you two need something?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to get to know you. May I ask how I should address you?”
Xu Rou came to Lu Xunxian’s side and sat down, looking as though she knew him very well.
Lu Xunxian sighed helplessly. “I have tolerated you two for quite some time. Must you drag trouble onto me?”
As Lu Xunxian’s words fell, a group of Saint King cultivators hurried toward them from afar. Very soon, they surrounded Lu Xunxian.
“You stole my thing. Hand it over quickly, and while you are at it, become my women. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless toward beauties!”
The leader was a red-robed man dressed in gaudy red, his attire extremely flamboyant.
At this moment, however, the red-robed man looked toward Lu Xunxian—or more accurately, toward Xu Rou beside Lu Xunxian—with killing intent all over his face.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaoyi subconsciously stood in front of Xu Rou and said to Lu Xunxian, “This matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave first.”
Then she looked at Xu Rou again, her tone somewhat anxious.
“Xiaorou, hurry and hand the thing over. Otherwise, they really will attack.”
“Why should we return it to them? That was something we finally managed to snatch.”
The cause of the matter was this: not long after Zhao Xiaoyi and Xu Rou entered the secret realm, they saw an Eleventh-Grade Spirit Herb, the Heaven-Mending Fruit, in a great lake.
After consuming it, a Spiritual Root below Top Grade could be raised by one grade, with the highest possible advancement being to a Top-Grade Spiritual Root.
Naturally, Zhao Xiaoyi and Xu Rou did not need this. After all, both of them had Immortal-Grade Spiritual Roots.
But the Heaven-Mending Fruit was valuable. If they took it out and sold it, they could exchange it for enough resources to help them break through to the Saint Monarch Realm.
And in the secret realm, places containing opportunities such as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures naturally had accompanying demon beasts. The accompanying demon beast of the Heaven-Mending Fruit was a Saint King Realm Heaven-Swallowing Toad.
Zhao Xiaoyi and Xu Rou had gone through tremendous effort before finally dealing with the Heaven-Swallowing Toad. In the end, a group of cultivators rushed out and tried to seize the Heaven-Mending Fruit.
Xu Rou naturally refused, so she decisively dragged Zhao Xiaoyi and fled. That was what led to the current situation.
