Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Inheritance of the Immortal Emperor
Lu Changsheng and his companions flew upwards along the trunk of the ancient tree.
Above the ancient tree, a hollow finally appeared.
The group landed on the branch, wide as a plaza, and the Flying Sword returned to its sheath.
“Considering the hardness of the ancient tree, the existence of a hollow is unusual. It’s mostly likely the cave dwelling where the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor cultivated.”
“It seems there’s a barrier at the entrance, and the four great Demon Sects haven’t been able to get in.”
Everyone discovered the barrier set by the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, knowing that his inheritance was very likely within.
“There are many restrictions in this Immortal Ruins, mostly to select the proper successor. From now on, it’s up to each individual’s destiny to see who will try first.”
“Perhaps I should give it a try.”
Zhuge Changming, the chief disciple of the Hidden Dragon Temple, stepped forward as if it was his duty.
If two people both meet the selection criteria set by the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, the one who enters first has the advantage.
Zhuge Changming started his cultivation technique, attempting to break into the dwelling.
However, the barrier’s green light surged, repelling Zhuge Changming back.
Even with Zhuge Changming’s ninth level Dao Palace realm cultivation, he had no strength to resist it.
Zhuge Changming’s face turned pale, clearly indicating that he did not meet the criteria for the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s inheritance.
You all try your luck. If fortunate, obtaining the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s inheritance would give the Hidden Dragon Temple hope for tens of thousands of years to come.”
Zhuge Changming let the other Hidden Dragon Temple Elders give it a shot.
The young generation of Mount Shu’s Elders included two peerless geniuses, Li Changye and Lu Changsheng. The young disciples included Xiao Xiangdao with the Spirit Sword Physique, Lian with the Martial King Divine Physique, Chen Yao with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique, and Mo Huazhi with the Body of the Literary Sage.
The Hidden Dragon Temple was relatively weak.
One by one, the Hidden Dragon Temple Elders stepped forward to try.
However, without exception, these Elders were blocked by the barrier.
All from the Hidden Dragon Temple were rejected.
Zhuge Changming’s face could not save face.
This opportunity for immortal fate had slipped away from the Hidden Dragon Temple.
“Although our Refinement Sect is the lowest in cultivation among the six major sects, we would also like to try.”
Master Lu from the Refinement Sect took a step forward.
The green light barrier stopped Master Lu from going any further.
Master Lu’s face changed.
Clearly, he also did not qualify for the inheritance.
Dozens of Refinement Sect’s Dao Palace realm Elders stepped forward to try, one after another, but all returned without success.
“Amitabha Buddha, our Immeasurable Temple doesn’t follow the same path as the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, and this inheritance is not fated for us.” Master Mingzhi led the Immeasurable Temple’s members to try, but none could enter the immortal dwelling.
“What a pity, but I, Ye Wen, have my own path, and don’t necessarily need the
Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s inheritance.”
Following a string of failures from the Martial Alliance, Ye Wen crossed his hands over his chest, not at all discouraged.
He had created his own Heaven Rank martial technique, Wing Chun Fist, at the Dao Palace realm, and even without the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s inheritance, his potential was extremely high.
“Only Mount Shu and the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion remain.” The four major sects turned their gaze to the people of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
Zeng Yeqiu, the chief disciple of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, was the first to try and was repelled by the barrier.
The second disciple, Xiao Meng’er, also ended in failure.
When it came to Xia Ningxue, she actually managed to take more than a dozen steps forward.
“Could it be that Fairy Xia is the fated one to receive the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s inheritance?”
“It seems the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s inheritance will belong to the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.”
The Elders of the major sects were moved, as it appeared Xia Ningxue might be eligible. b
However, midway through, Xia Ningxue’s brows furrowed.
She sensed the green light barrier repelling her.
The reason she was able to take more than a dozen steps was because the barrier seemed to be suppressed by her Lingwa Holy Body, but in reality she was not eligible.
Xia Ningxue sighed softly and voluntarily stepped back.
“Junior Sister, there is no need for regret, this is a common occurrence.” ‘If one does not resonate with the legacy of the Immortal Emperor, even if they acquire it, it would be more harmful than beneficial.”
“With Junior Sister’s talent, barring any accidents, you will soon step into the Void Refinement Realm and become the youngest Supreme Elder of our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.”
The members of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion took turns consoling the half-failed Xia Ningxue.
Subsequently, elders like Ku Mu of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion stepped forward to try.
Unexpectedly, Ku Mu also failed at the halfway point.
“My physique and Cultivation Technique are very much in line with the requirements of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, just that my talent still falls short.”
Ku Mu couldn’t help sighing deeply, feeling a profound regret, as this had been his closest encounter with a celestial fate.
Only the group from Mount Shu remained.
Li Changye tried to cross through the barrier but was violently repelled by it and he shook his head helplessly, “This inheritance accepts only practitioners below the Void Refinement Realm.”
Song Wuchuan and other elders from Mount Shu took turns attempting to enter the cave residence, and all failed without exception.
“Master, let me give it a try.”
Xiao Xiangdao’s eyes were resolute.
He already possessed the Spirit Sword Physique, and if he could obtain the inheritance of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor, he might become the number one among Mount Shu’s young disciples.
Li Changye nodded, “Go ahead and try, but whether or not you can gain the
inheritance, you must not waver in your Dao heart.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Xiangdao took several steps forward, his Spirit Sword Physique generating Sword Qj that contended against the barrier.
Xiao Xiangdao felt the barrier’s rejection of him.
“I am not content, no matter what, I must gain the inheritance of the Divine
Tree Immortal Emperor!”
Xiao Xiangdao took a deep breath, circulated his Taxuan Skills, and faced the rejection of the blue light barrier, trying to enter the cave residence.
Boom.
The power of the blue light barrier was too strong, and even with the Spirit
Sword Physique, he was still repelled.
Xiao Xiangdao’s face was ugly with defeat; he had failed.
The rarity of the Immortal Ruins emerging, such an opportunity was seldom encountered, yet it slipped through their fingers.
“Lu, why don’t you give it a try?”
Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, and others noticed that Lu Changsheng seemed indifferent, as if he thought little of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor’s legacy.
“I have my own path, and I do not need the legacy of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor.”
“Lu’s Dao heart is incredibly steadfast.”
“Elder Lu of Mount Shu is truly unusual, no wonder the Ancestral Master of
Mount Shu would visit him in dreams.”
The six major sects were shocked by Lu Changsheng’s aura; faced with the legacy of an Immortal Emperor, Lu Changsheng didn’t even want to try, preferring instead to stick to his own great path.
What kind of spirit was this?
Lu Changsheng said to his eldest disciple, “Qingzhi, you go and give it a try.”
“Me?”
Lin Qingzhi was stunned.
He thought Lu Changsheng had only brought him down the mountain for training, to broaden his experience.
Little did he expect that Lu Changsheng wanted him to attempt to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng had already used the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator to simulate the outcome of bringing Lin Qingzhi to the Immortal Ruins in advance.
The legacy of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor was not a good match with Lu Changsheng’s attributes, so there was no need for him to waste time.
However, Lin Qingzhi, with his Heart of the Innocent and as someone with the Wood Spirit Root, was fully in line with the requirements of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor.
That is why Lu Changsheng had brought Lin Qingzhi with him.
“Even the elders of Mount Shu cannot enter the cave residence, now they are sending the young disciples to try, alas, it seems that this time, all six of our major sects have missed out on the celestial fate.”
“Our six major sects, with so many geniuses, is it possible that none of us meet the requirements of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor?”
“The requirements of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor are perhaps a bit too high.”
“Wait a minute, Lu Changsheng’s disciple has effortlessly walked into the cave residence!”
Amidst everyone’s astonishment, Lin Qingzhi encountered no obstacles and naturally entered the cave residence of the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor.
