Chapter 2193: Chapter 1566: Acceptance (2)

"Alright, follow me."

This remnant soul also has the responsibility of guiding the inheritor to obtain the inheritance, but when faced with a passing cultivator, it has no authority to oppose.

Soon, under its guidance, Li Zhirui arrived in front of a jade platform, on top of which lay three jade slips.

"The ancient cyan-colored jade slip in the middle contains the core inheritance of the Tongtian Sect, including cultivation techniques, divine powers, cultivation experiences, and insights; the lustrous white jade slip on the left records information about the Tao Spirit Realm, spiritual objects, and other introductions, akin to an encyclopedia."

"The black jade slip on the right contains alchemy, artifact refining, formation and other cultivation hundred arts, primarily focusing on artifact refining and formation, with very profound inheritances."

"At the same time, this jade platform is also the control center of the entire ruins. Once refined, even in the presence of a Golden Immortal within the ruins, they can be immediately expelled!"

"Apart from these, the ruins also have inner and outer treasure houses filled with countless spiritual objects, as well as the sect hall, ancestor hall, alchemy room, and other basic facilities. Once the Sect Leader refines the jade platform, there will be plenty of time to explore them leisurely."

It can be said that the entire Tongtian Sect, except for the lack of disciples and cultivators, requires no additional effort or financial resources to establish anything else.

"Two Mystic Immortals have entered the ruins!" the remnant soul suddenly said.

Originally intending to first look at the three inheritance jade slips, Li Zhirui had sensed something odd from the earlier introduction.

The lustrous white jade slip that records the spiritual objects and regions of the Tao Spirit Realm, akin to an encyclopedia, how does it deserve to be placed alongside the other two? There surely must be something peculiar about it.

But upon hearing this, he immediately changed his mind and started refining the jade platform.

The entire process was extremely smooth, just under half a moment, and he had completed control over the jade platform.

With a thought, the great array of the ruins was fully activated.

Only a hum was heard, a burst of spirit light expelled all the cultivators, even the two Mystic Immortals, no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t change the outcome.

"What just happened?! How did we all get out?"

"I was about to pass the trial and obtain a spiritual object! Why was I suddenly expelled!"

...

The scene was in chaos, angry curses, unwilling howls, and sighs of disappointment mingled together, echoing thunderously in the underground passageway, making heads dizzy and minds swell.

The expressions of those two Mystic Immortal cultivators were the most unsightly. They had just entered the ruins, merely passing the first trial, only to be suddenly transported out.

Such a stance, it was as if someone was deliberately targeting the two of them.

The two exchanged glances, reluctantly flying towards the ruins, but no matter how they tried, they couldn’t pass through the thin layer of spirit light to get back inside.

And there’s only one possibility for this kind of situation!

That would be someone has already obtained the inheritance, hence no other cultivators are allowed in!

Who on earth managed to get the inheritance so quickly?

Through some inquiries, the two learned that a Mystic Immortal cultivator had already been inside before them and was progressing through the barriers very swiftly.

"It seems this person has obtained the inheritance."

Another Mystic Immortal asked those Heavenly Immortals, "Do you still remember his appearance?"

"Yes, yes, we remember."

Immediately someone used mana to depict Li Zhirui’s appearance, though it wasn’t his true face.

But regardless of that appearance, the two could not recognize him and had no impression of him at all.

"Who exactly is this person!"

As the two were deep in thought, a surprised outcry suddenly erupted from the crowd.

"Look! Is the ruin disappearing?"

Everyone turned to look and indeed saw what he had mentioned, the ruin was dissolving rapidly like bubbles.

In just a moment, it completely vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"Alas! It seems our Sea Lions were a step too late and someone has already beaten us to it."

A certain Mystic Immortal sighed and then flew away.

The other one didn’t linger much longer and left shortly after.

Among the remaining cultivators, some were still unwilling and continued seeking clues, but most were wise enough to know better. After all, if even the Mystic Immortals couldn’t manage, how could they possibly be stronger?

...

Meanwhile.

Having controlled the ruins and left the original spot along the earth’s veins, Li Zhirui paused his actions upon shaking off the group of cultivators.

The ruins happened to stop deep underground, with no immediate exposure risk, so he calmly examined the three jade slips.

He first examined not the most important inheritance jade slip in the middle, but the lustrous white jade slip on the left, which he found peculiar.

But quickly, Li Zhirui opened his eyes, furrowed his brows, and murmured, "Am I being paranoid? Is there really nothing special about it?"

He wasn’t convinced of this outcome and trusted his previous judgment, so he meticulously and seriously reexamined the jade slip’s content, triple-checking he hadn’t missed anything.

Just when he was about to finish and still had no leads or harvest, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind, spotting something odd within the jade slip.

Then, following this lead to review the entire content of the jade slip, a drastic transformation occurred. The encyclopedia of spiritual objects transformed into a very profound and mystic Taoist scripture!

Even at Li Zhirui’s current realm, it made him dizzy and unable to fully comprehend it.

And this, is likely the most valuable and precious of the three jade slips!

’But this might not be something I can comprehend at my current level...’

With this thought arising in his mind, he stopped forcing himself, collected the jade slip, and after a brief pause, proceeded to examine the ancient cyan-colored jade slip, the one the remnant soul mentioned was filled with the Tongtian Sect’s teachings.

The content inside indeed matched what had been described, whether the cultivation techniques, divine powers, or cultivation experiences, all were extremely precious.

To Li Zhirui, they could also provide immense aid.

But after seeing that Taoist scripture, looking back at those methods, the huge disparity made him feel somewhat disinterested.

Upon realizing this, he couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his head, never expecting that he, a little Mystic Immortal, would be choosy about a Golden Immortal’s inheritance.

The remnant soul looked at him in bewilderment, could it be that this person was dismissive of these inheritances?!

"By the way, didn’t you say earlier that the Tongtian Sect has a mysterious origin? Now that you couldn’t tell me before, can you say now?" Li Zhirui suddenly asked.

Even though, after the lecture, he had arrived at an answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear what kind of existence the Tongtian Sect was in its eyes. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"The Tongtian Sect...it’s not a native power of the Tao Spirit Realm but a sect established here by a certain distinguished Golden Immortal..."

As he spoke, a trace of nostalgia and reminiscence emerged in the remnant soul’s eyes.

...

Meanwhile, in another setting.

Inside Chaotic Heaven.

The figures on the six mats remained.

"Teacher, why do you hold that person in high regard?" asked the female cultivator whose surroundings depicted the transformation of chaos, reenacting earth, wind, water, and fire, with some curiosity.

Not just her; the others were also very curious about this matter.

Perhaps others might not know, but as direct disciples, they were aware that the same junior brother who had gone to the Tao Spirit Realm to leave the inheritance was not there to seek fortune voluntarily but was appointed by their teacher.

Initially, they couldn’t comprehend why their teacher arranged for a junior brother to go to that rather mundane Great Thousand World. If he wanted to break through and achieve Taiyi, he should go to a better world.

But not long ago, their teacher, who hadn’t lectured in thousands of years, suddenly summoned all the disciples under the sect, along with that Mystic Immortal cultivator, who wasn’t even a fellow disciple but got a place on the mat.
