I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1553 - 1552: Speculation (Seventh Update)

"Wait!" Zhang Xiaohao frowned.

"What’s wrong, Brother Xu? Is there something amiss?" Zi Wuling asked.

"Yes," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Did you notice anything strange about what that old guy said just now?"

"Strange? No, it’s just part of the inheritance after all. To us, even the smallest inheritance is a rare treasure! This is the legacy left by the Great Mahayana Ancestor!" Zi Wuling said excitedly.

"The inheritance left by the Great Mahayana Ancestor is real, but it’s a trap!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"A trap?" Zi Wuling asked, puzzled.

"Yes! Think about it; doesn’t all this seem too strange, especially that evil spirit we encountered earlier? From the current analysis, it doesn’t seem like it had lost its spiritual intelligence. It should still be alive, intentionally luring those of us with compass tokens here!" Zhang Xiaohao speculated.

"Ah! Brother Xu, then what is his purpose in doing this?" Zi Wuling exclaimed.

"If my guess is correct, he intends to use people from the younger generation of his clan to take over their bodies and be reborn!" Zhang Xiaohao said each word carefully.

"Ah! Isn’t that too exaggerated?" Zi Wuling shouted in disbelief.

"Think about it, that Ruoshui River, if he only had the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm, do you think he could have done it? Could he have moved the Ruoshui River into this secret realm space? Also, if he was at the Nascent Soul level, could he have silently snuck into the Ming Han Mountain under the surveillance of Ming Han Snow City and set up a gigantic Grotto Heaven here?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in return.

"Ah! Could all this be real? Did he do all this just for a body takeover and rebirth?" Zi Wuling was so surprised that her mouth hung open.

"If I had any doubts before, after hearing what he said, I have no doubts anymore! The way he talked, it was as if he were speaking to the dead!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Brother Xu, what should we do now?" Zi Wuling asked.

"Why not grab what we can get for free?" Zhang Xiaohao smirked.

"Ah! Didn’t you just say it was dangerous?" Zi Wuling asked.

"There is definitely danger, but if we don’t take his stuff, we’ll be trapped here until we die of old age. By taking it, there’s at least a glimmer of hope." Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"I understand." Zi Wuling nodded.

"Let’s go, let’s grab his inheritance." Zhang Xiaohao said.

Immediately, he led Zi Wuling to the front of the high platform. With a single hand, he grabbed the items on it, and without even looking, he tossed them into the Shennong Ring.

"Brother Xu, what do we do now?" Zi Wuling asked.

"Wait! Since we’ve taken his inheritance and haven’t been transported away, it means the time isn’t ripe yet! Once the time comes, we’ll be transported automatically! By then, the one who inherited his legacy will surely not just be us." Zhang Xiaohao analyzed.

"Brother Xu, is that true?" Zi Wuling asked nervously.

"If I’m not mistaken, there are at least four inheritors! Once all four gather, we’ll be transported away!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Brother Xu, be careful." Zi Wuling said.

"I will, there’s still some time left, let’s take the opportunity to cultivate!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

Saying this, the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground, each taking out elixirs for cultivation and operating their Cultivation Technique to enter a state of cultivation.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.

Suddenly, one day, a powerful and mysterious force surged from the high platform.

Swish!

Zhang Xiaohao opened his eyes, and with a single step, appeared next to Zi Wuling. He grabbed her, shielding her behind him, clutching ten Sky Bombs in his left hand, watching the scene unfold tensely.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A ray of blue-green light shot out from the high platform, enveloping Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling. In the next second, a series of profound, complicated formations appeared beneath their feet.

Whoosh!

The blue-green light flashed, and the two disappeared without a trace.

After a dizzying sensation, Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling reappeared on a vast plaza. Many people were gathered in the plaza, including those from the City Lord Mansion, the City Guardian Mansion, and hundreds of descendants of the Great Mahayana Ancestor.

The sudden appearance of Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling did not attract any attention. Everyone around looked eagerly at the vast sky above the plaza, where a massive, three-zhang tall golden statue hovered, radiating with gold light.

This statue was identical to the Spirit Clan Mahayana that Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling had encountered in the space before, except this statue was golden.

In front of the golden statue, three treasures hovered.

In the center floated a blue-green Inheritance Light Ball, in which countless secret techniques and powerful cultivation techniques flashed.

To the left was a storage bag embroidered with gold and the pattern of a Jiao Long, clearly a remarkable item.

To the right was a blade of grass, seemingly an ordinary piece of grass, yet the surrounding space was shattered in its presence, emitting traces of fragmented air currents.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!!!

Witnessing this scene, everyone present swallowed hard, staring fervently at the three treasures suspended in the air.

At this moment, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, pressing on everyone present. At the same time, a blue-green spiritual light flew out from the golden statue and quickly coalesced into the figure of the old man who had disappeared earlier.

"You have done well to make it here! As my descendants, you are worthy of receiving all my inheritance! However, before you can receive my legacy, I must clear out some outsiders with ulterior motives! Anyone without a Compass on them—will be killed without mercy!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

As his words fell, the dense nature’s spiritual energy around vibrated violently, forming countless sword lights. A murderous intent exploded from these sword lights.

Seeing this, the people below hurriedly took out the Compass tokens from their bodies, suspending them above their heads.

The only ones without Compasses were the people from the City Guardian Mansion and the City Lord Mansion.

"Ah! Brother Xu, my father is in danger, can you help them?" Zi Wuling said urgently.

"Let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

With that, he grabbed Zi Wuling and rushed in the direction of the City Lord Mansion.
