Chapter 462: Land of Inheritance

“Alright,” Ye Ruxue said as she stood frozen, gazing at Su Chen’s retreating back in a daze.

After a long moment, she finally snapped out of it. Her intuition told her Su Chen had likely harbored suspicions about her for some time, yet never voiced them out of respect.

Thinking of this, Ye Ruxue struggled internally. Should she reveal her reborn identity to Su Chen or not?

After all, not just Su Chen, even she herself could sense how abnormally she had been acting recently – no, to be precise, far too abnormally! A True Immortal Realm formation was no trivial matter. It wasn’t something just anyone could easily comprehend through casual research.

One had to understand that even Great Emperor Realm powerhouses proficient with formations wouldn’t be able to exhibit such ease as she had shown!

If she did inform Su Chen of her rebirth though, how would he react…

For a time, Ye Ruxue was caught in indecision.

Soon after, however, she gently shook her head to dispel the chaotic thoughts, moving to catch up with Su Chen’s footsteps. For now, she could only take things step-by-step. If a suitable chance arose in the future, she might consider revealing the truth to Su Chen.

The rest of their journey proved surprisingly smooth, with none of the expected accidents occurring.

Though they encountered some formations in the interim, most were illusory or trapping formations. As long as one did not deliberately court death, these would pose no mortal danger. And failing that, they could simply choose to withdraw.

The inheritance left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master would not overly torment those who opted out. This represented the last vestiges of conscience left by the Sword Master.

In but a blink of an eye, nine days had passed.

At the heart of the grand immortal formation, an erect and precipitous mountain peak appeared. It towered several hundred thousand meters high, piercing the clouds like a titanic sword on the verge of being unsheathed, standing aloof in the firmament.

Yet the oppressive aura it emitted was not to be underestimated.

The surrounding sea of clouds roiled as gorgeous rays of light enshrouded the entire sacred peak in layers of dazzling magnificence.

Atop the peak sat an ancient palace suffused with the aura of the Great Dao, laws swirling around it. The main hall gates stood flung wide open as endless Dao patterns emerged while liquefied spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth. It was like the abode of an archaic immortal king, containing not just fragments of time but chaotic mists as well – the scene was highly bizarre.

“That should be where the World-Transcending Sword Master left his inheritance,” Su Chen muttered as he stood before a flight of white jade steps, eyes flashing strangely as he peered ahead.

The white jade stairs underfoot wound ahead, extending into the cloud sea’s depths as they connected to the colossal palace crowning the mountaintop.

Oddly enough, despite the many trials they had faced along the way, there were no more obstructions on these jade steps leading to the peak.

This was highly odd. Based on the World-Transcending Sword Master’s notoriously vicious nature, things should not be this simple.

For some reason, Su Chen felt a vague disquiet.

Yet thus far, nothing dangerous had actually occurred.

“Am I overthinking things?” Su Chen murmured while shaking his head at the roiling clouds.

“I heard that so long as one passes the guardian’s checkpoint, they earn the right to meet the projection left behind by the former World-Transcending Sword Master,” Ye Ruxue suddenly spoke up, seizing Su Chen’s attention.

She paused, wet her red lips, then gazed up at the palace. “If one can gain the recognition of that projection, they may become the new World-Transcending Sword Master!”

With her prior foreshadowing, adding more details now seemed reasonable enough.

“Is it really that easy?” Su Chen raised his brows slightly.

In his subconscious, he still felt there would be further grand trials awaiting them.

Yet based on things now, including his earlier disquiet – it seemed he had been overthinking.

“Now that you mention it,” he smiled at Ye Ruxue and continued, “I’m rather interested in this World-Transcending Sword Master.”

Naturally, more than the Sword Master himself, Su Chen was curious about the man’s inheritance.

If that inheritance fell into his grasp, then he spread the word of it across the world…just how great a reward could he reap?

One had to understand – even at his weakest, the World-Transcending Sword Master had been a True Immortal Realm master and one without limits at that. His inheritance would tempt more than just Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses. Even great emperors would be moved.

If he trumpeted this news, likely within a single day people would be boasting about him breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm!

Pondering this, Su Chen was filled with keen anticipation regarding the Sword Master’s inheritance.

At the same time, on the path where the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man and the white-haried elder had perished…

A divine chariot came streaking over. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚

Within the sedan oozed astonishing Qi and blood. One could vaguely make out a thirty-foot-tall figure seated inside, like a simmering volcano on the verge of eruption, exuding extremely oppressive might.

Standing respectfully outside the chariot was a late-stage Great Saint Realm powerhouse – none other than Heavenly Demon Alliance’s Zhu You.

Yet even someone of his level could only stand beside the chariot, not daring to be discourteous in the slightest for fear of irritating the eminent being inside and incurring his displeasure.

If not for that existence lending a hand, Zhu You himself would currently be a vengeful ghost beneath the Nine Nethers.

“This place seems to have just undergone tremendous battle…” Zhu You muttered then, eyes shining brilliantly.

Next, he gently grabbed at the air ahead, intercepting the lingering aura of past participants. After carefully sensing it, his brows furrowed tightly.

“Xiao Zhu, have you discovered something?” the imposing figure in the sedan suddenly asked, his voice like deafening thunder that shook the surrounding void.

“I shall not hide it from Senior. I seem to have sensed the auras of…the Golden Crow Clan and White Ape Clan. If I am not mistaken, they likely exchanged blows with someone here…”

Hearing that majestic existence speak, Zhu You immediately returned to his senses and respectfully cupped his fists toward the sedan. When faced with this senior before him, he did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

After all, no matter what, the other was still a terrifying Saint King Realm
