"Unfortunately!"
Liu Qingyang sighed inwardly.
He witnessed Zhang Ming and others besieging the prince of the Hongwu Dynasty. Despite sustaining serious injuries, the prince managed to escape in his imperial chariot.
They were just a step away from killing the prince and seizing the eighth-grade quasi-imperial treasure.
However, an eighth-grade treasure was still just that—its power incomparable to that of a seventh-grade saint.
The golden war chariot sped like lightning, and Zhang Ming and the others couldn't intercept it, only watching as the prince disappeared into the distance.
Finding no trace, they gave up the pursuit and turned to search for the inheritance of the Holy Person of Shenxiao.
This so-called inheritance was actually a trial.
The five entered a pagoda, undergoing tests. In the end, it wasn't Gu Fang or Zhang Ming who reached the top, but the weakest member of the team, Ye Jiu.
This scene was unexpected even to Liu Qingyang and Ye Jiu himself.
...
At the top of the pagoda, inside a palace hall, a middle-aged cultivator in a light purple robe appeared before Ye Jiu.
"Congratulations on passing the trial and gaining my inheritance!"
The middle-aged cultivator looked at him with satisfaction.
"Younger generation pays respects to the Holy Person of Shenxiao!"
Ye Jiu bowed, his face filled with confusion.
"Why did Senior choose me as the inheritor?"
He was deeply puzzled.
Gu Fang, Zhang Ming, and others also participated in the trial. If he didn't perform better than them, Ye Jiu wouldn't believe it.
The Holy Person of Shenxiao smiled faintly and said, "You are wondering why I chose you instead of other extraordinary beings, right?"
"Please enlighten me, Senior."
"It's simple. I achieved enlightenment as a mortal, defeating countless geniuses along the way, but ultimately lost to Jiang Hongwu."
"People often say mortals are inferior to extraordinary beings, but I don't believe it. Mortals can also achieve enlightenment."
"My defeat to Jiang Hongwu only proves I was inferior to him, not that mortals are incapable."
"Today, you have achieved enlightenment as a mortal and stand shoulder to shoulder with extraordinary beings. In the future, you may have the qualifications to achieve enlightenment."
"If you receive my inheritance, you can use the power of mortals to create heavens and earth, defeat various geniuses, and ascend to the position of the Emperor!"
The Holy Person of Shenxiao spoke solemnly, his voice gradually becoming passionate, showing that he still harbored regrets about his defeat under Emperor Hongwu.
Then he continued, "In ancient times, mortals rose from obscurity, using mortal bodies to achieve the position of Emperor. Unfortunately, since then, there hasn't been another mortal Emperor. Now, with the golden age approaching, you may well recreate the glory of the ancient mortal Emperors!"
A mortal achieving the Emperor's position—this was the Holy Person of Shenxiao's persistence.
Ye Jiu's expression changed slightly, taking a deep breath. "If I can receive Senior's inheritance, I will do my best!"
"Good, with such determination, it's enough. The Shenxiao Tower is a top-grade saint's treasure I refined in the past, and its materials can be used to forge Imperial Weapons."
"If you achieve enlightenment in the future, the Shenxiao Tower may help you forge an Imperial Weapon."
"Of course, with sufficient cultivation, you can also refine the Shenxiao Tower into your own Imperial Weapon."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Jiu's response, the Holy Person pointed a finger at his forehead.
A massive amount of information surged in, and Ye Jiu felt his head ache.
By the time he fully digested this information, a set of laws had already been added to his mind.
Shenxiao True Technique, Seventh Rank Supreme!
If cultivated to perfection, it could reach the Sixth Rank Perfect, equivalent to the realm of a ten-fold Saint, with the potential to impact the Eighth Rank Quasi-Imperial realm.
This technique shook Ye Jiu's mind. The Shenxiao True Technique was much deeper than the technique he was currently practicing, surpassing any of the same rank.
It could be said that a Seventh Rank Supreme Technique saved Ye Jiu tens of billions in contributions in the future.
After all, a Fifth Rank Supreme Technique required five billion contributions, even if it increased tenfold, the Seventh Rank Supreme was still around fifty billion.
Moreover, besides this Seventh Rank Supreme Technique, there was also the Seventh Rank Supreme Treasure of Saint Shenxiao Tower.
Having obtained the Shenxiao True Technique, Ye Jiu also found himself making a connection to the Saint's treasure.
This Saint's Treasure has recognized him as its master.
Looking at the hall again, the Holy Person of Shenxiao's figure had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
Ye Jiu bowed to where he had just stood.
The next moment, Ye Jiu appeared outside the Shenxiao Tower, followed by Zhang Ming and a surprised face, he. for Let
