I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

"Hehe, in that case, how about handing over the Eightfold Floating Pagoda inheritance on your person, Senior, to Yan Jing?" Mo Yu said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Mo Tong and Xuan Xin, who had been rapidly approaching from afar, stared at Mo Yu in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.

They never expected that Mo Yu, who fought so hard in this battle, would hand over the opportunity to inherit the Eightfold Floating Pagoda to Qing Yanjing.

Even Qing Yanjing herself was taken aback, and a complex expression appeared in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Mo Yu.

Upon hearing this, the Floating Ancestor was also taken aback. He looked at Mo Yu, stroked his beard, and smiled, "I said before that whoever can help me get rid of the Blood Zombie Heavenly Demon Emperor will receive a great gift."

"And you, Mo Yu, have accomplished that. Therefore, you naturally have the qualifications to receive my inheritance. Do you intend to give this opportunity to someone else?"

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong were alarmed and hurriedly said, "Ancestor, no! This person is from another race. How can we hand over your legacy to an outsider? If it is passed back to the clan, it will cause a great uproar. Even other forces in the Great Thousand World will laugh at our Futu Ancient Clan for having no one to rely on!"

Upon hearing this, the Floating Ancestor frowned and fell silent for a moment.

Besides being a hero who protects the world, he is also the ancestor of the Ancient Buddha Clan. It would be unfair to hand over the inheritance of the Eight Buddhas to outsiders, since everyone has selfish desires, and he is no exception.

Seeing that his words had an effect, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed deep in Xuan Guang's dark eyes.

If Mo Yu is excluded now, then Qing Yanjing will be the only remaining competitor, greatly increasing their chances.

While the two were secretly delighted, Mo Yu remained quite calm, cupped his hands in greeting to the Floating Ancestor, and said indifferently.

“Senior, as I just said, the inheritance of the Eight-Part Buddha can be handed over to Yan Jing. She is a member of the Buddha Ancient Clan and should be the only suitable candidate.”

"This is an opportunity you deserve, and I don't need you to give it up." At this moment, Qing Yanjing looked at Mo Yu, her brows furrowing slightly, and said coldly.

She knew that Mo Yu meant well. After all, the Eightfold Floating Pagoda was one of the thirty-six peerless divine powers in the Great Thousand World. Anyone who came across it would probably try every means to possess it. How could anyone give it up so easily?

However, in Qing Yanjing's view, Mo Yu's actions seemed to be an attempt to make amends for the mistakes he made in the cave and to sever ties with the two of them.

And for some reason, Mo Yu's behavior made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Do you think you can repay what you've done with just one eight-story pagoda?
Her innocence is priceless.

Seeing Qing Yanjing's cold refusal, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Indeed, he gave the Eightfold Floating Pagoda inheritance to Qing Yanjing to make up for the misunderstanding of that wonderful encounter in the cave.

Although the misunderstanding didn't originate from Mo Yu, as a man, he certainly benefited greatly.

After all, with Qing Yanjing's appearance, background, and talent, she could be considered one of the most outstanding beauties in the world. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to even get close to her, yet Mo Yu managed to get intimate with her.

Although the Eightfold Floating Pagoda is one of the thirty-six peerless divine powers, in Mo Yu's opinion, it is not as valuable as Qing Yanjing.

On the other side, Mo Tong and Xuan Xin saw Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing actually refusing to admit their mistake, and they couldn't help but grit their teeth, clench their fists, and their eyes turned red.

The eight-part pagoda, which they considered a priceless treasure, was being pushed around by the two of them. It was truly too Versailles-like and too infuriating.

At that moment, they really wanted to shout, "Don't want it, give it to me, I want it!"

At this moment, the aged gaze of the Floating Ancestor swept over Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing. He could see that there seemed to be an extremely complicated relationship between the two.

The Floating Ancestor was once young, so he had a vague idea about the strange relationship between Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing. He then smiled slightly and said.

"Since that's the case, then you two should stop arguing. You both deserve credit for slaying the Blood Zombie Demon Emperor this time."

Therefore, you two both have a share in the inheritance of these eight pagodas!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Guang and Mo Tong on the altar turned pale. They were clearly surprised that the Ancestor of the Floating Pagoda would pass on the Eight Floating Pagodas to Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing at the same time.

"Ancestor!" The two tried to persuade him further.

"I have made my decision." But the patriarch Futu waved his hand, his voice resolute, and then he looked at the two of them and said, "You two go back and tell the elders in the clan."

The reason why our Futu clan has been able to exist from ancient times to the present is not only because there are many talented people within the clan, but also because we are able to accommodate outsiders and recruit geniuses from outside the clan.

But now you are becoming increasingly pedantic; if this continues, I fear my Buddha Clan will never regain its former glory!

By the end, his voice had become somewhat stern, clearly indicating that the two men's unusual targeting of Mo Yu's identity as a member of the Futu Ancient Clan had greatly angered the Futu Ancestor.

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong were scolded and dared not speak, their heads hanging low, but their eyes still flickered with jealousy and resentment.

Qing Yanjing was one thing, but he was a rare genius of spirit arrays in the ancient Futu clan, who had always been superior to them within the clan. Even after obtaining the inheritance of the Eight-Part Futu, the two of them had nothing to say.

However, the fact that the ancestor entrusted the inheritance to outsiders instead of passing it on to them truly filled the two with resentment.

"Mo Yu, Qing Yanjing, come with me to receive the inheritance."

The Floating Ancestor ignored the two of them and instead looked at Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing. With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual light surged, and the two figures disappeared from the altar.

As the three disappeared, Xuan Guang and Mo Tong finally raised their heads, their faces extremely gloomy.

"So you just let him inherit the legacy like that?" Mo Tong said in a gloomy voice.

Xuan Guang paused for a moment, then sneered and said, "An outsider, does he deserve to possess the 'Eightfold Pagoda'? Since the Ancestor insists on choosing him, then let him be."

"However, whether he can bring the 'Eight Pagodas' out of the Holy Abyss Continent is not up to the Ancestor to decide..." As he said this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Mo Tong was taken aback and said, "What do you mean?"

Xuan Guang said coldly, "Do you think Elder Hei Hui and Elder Mo Jin would sit idly by and watch the Eightfold Floating Pagoda fall into the hands of an outsider?"
Once they learn of this news, they might be able to temporarily disregard even the order issued by the Grand Elder.

Moreover, it's obvious that Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing have an illicit relationship, and Qing Yanjing is the object of our clan's marriage alliance with the Maha Ancient Clan. If the Grand Elder finds out, he'll probably be furious. At that point, even the Qing Clan probably won't protect Mo Yu."

Upon hearing this, Mo Tong nodded slightly. Indeed, if Elder Hei Hui and Elder Mo Jin were to take action, no matter how capable Mo Yu was, he would absolutely not be able to escape the pursuit of the two Heavenly Sovereigns.

The relationship between Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing can also be explored in great detail.

"Let them be smug for now..."

When the light before Mo Yu's eyes dissipated, he found that the scenery around him had changed.

This must be inside a tower, and ancient patterns are faintly visible on the mottled walls. An air of vicissitude and antiquity permeates the tower.

"Where is this place?" Mo Yu glanced at Qing Yanjing, who seemed lost in thought beside him, and then looked at the Floating Ancestor in front of him and asked.

"This is inside my pagoda."

The Floating Pagoda Ancestor smiled slightly, then said with some reminiscence, "However, with the passing of my original body, this Floating Pagoda has also lost its former glory and has gradually crumbled over the years."

Mo Yu nodded slightly. Even though the pagoda was already in ruins, he could still feel an indescribable aura swirling around it.

That aura was extremely terrifying; it was the powerful aura of a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign.

This is a level that even the original body, who has already advanced to the Heavenly Supreme, cannot reach far at this moment.

The will of the Floating Pagoda Ancestor sat cross-legged inside the tower, then smiled at Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing and said, "Do you know the origin of my eight Floating Pagodas?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu seemed to be deep in thought. With the help of his memories from his previous life, he vaguely knew some of the inside stories of the Eightfold Floating Pagoda.

However, he did not speak, but looked at Qing Yanjing beside him. He saw the latter shake his head and say softly, "Ancestor, this Eight-Part Pagoda was created by you. Therefore, even I, a junior, have only heard of its fame and do not know its origin."

Seeing this, the Floating Ancestor did not take it to heart and said, "This peerless divine power was created by me at the peak of my life."

"And at that time, the extraterrestrial evil race was invading the Great Thousand World."

"I have slain countless demons, and within the Floating Pagoda, I have sealed dozens of Demon Emperors, including some who are comparable to Celestial Sovereigns."

Upon hearing this, even though Mo Yu roughly knew the inside story, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.

Sealing dozens of Demon Emperors is an extremely impressive feat, as it is equivalent to the power of dozens of Heavenly Sovereigns.

Qingyan Jingmei's eyes also flickered, a hint of pride appearing in them. As expected of the ancestor of her Futu Ancient Clan, such achievements would probably be considered top-tier even in the ancient times when powerful figures were everywhere.

"It was precisely because too many Demon Emperors were sealed that the Demon Sealing Tower became somewhat unstable. Later, I had a flash of inspiration and decided to refine these Demon Emperors into guardians of the Floating Pagoda..."

Seeing the surprise in Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing's eyes, Ancestor Futu smiled slightly and then continued.

Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing were shocked. They had refined the Demon Emperor into a guardian? That was no easy feat.

This is because the first step is to erase the Demon Emperor's original consciousness, much like creating a puppet. However, generally speaking, the puppet's power is far weaker than it was in life.

However, if that's all there is to it, then these eight pagodas are probably not qualified to be included among the thirty-six peerless divine powers.

"Hehe, I am naturally aware of this, so I ultimately imprinted the Demon Emperor Guardian that I had refined onto the Floating Pagoda, connecting it to my main body."

Then, day and night, they are cleansed and tempered using secret methods, so that their own power can be preserved to the maximum extent. "The Floating Buddha Ancestor said with a hint of self-satisfaction.

Mo Yu clicked his tongue in admiration. The Floating Ancestor truly lived up to his reputation as one of the strongest beings in the ancient world. His methods and ideas were truly ingenious.

"However, the only setback is that the failure rate in refining this kind of guardian is too high. Among those dozens of demon emperors, only three succeeded in the end."

"So in the decades that followed, I took advantage of the war with the extraterrestrial evil race to seal and refine the Demon Emperor, and only then, a year before my fall, did I finally complete the cultivation of the 'Eightfold Pagoda'." The Pagoda Ancestor sighed.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu nodded slightly with a sigh. Indeed, war was the fastest way to get rich.

At the same time, a look of doubt appeared on Qing Yanjing's pretty face.

So even if they knew how to cultivate the Eightfold Pagoda, what use would it be? They can't exactly be asked to kill Demon Emperor-level experts, can they?

Seeing Qing Yanjing's expression, the Floating Pagoda Ancestor smiled and said, "The precious thing about this 'Eight-Part Floating Pagoda' is not actually its cultivation method, but the 'Eight-Part Floating Pagoda' itself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Floating Ancestor slightly raised his hand, and the dilapidated Floating Pagoda suddenly began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing saw that cracks suddenly appeared on the tower wall.

The cracks, accompanied by a shattering sound, slowly crumbled, while eight beams of crimson light shot out directly from the tower wall.

Eight mysterious crimson lights descended and began to rotate continuously around the body of the Floating Ancestor.

Only then did Mo Yu and Qing Yanjing realize that they were actually eight crimson beads.

However, on the surface of those eight crimson beads, there seemed to be some slightly ferocious and savage patterns engraved.

Mo Yu only glanced at the eight crimson beads before feeling his blood surge and a murderous intent rise within him.

However, this murderous intent was suppressed by Mo Yu as soon as it arose. After all, he had fought his way up from the Dou Qi Continent and had also cultivated the Self-Sacrifice Demon Fist. He had long since mastered the murderous intent in his heart.

hum!
At this moment, the Holy Pagoda within Qing Yanjing's body released holy light, immediately purifying and expelling those murderous thoughts, restoring her to consciousness.

When Qing Yanjing saw Mo Yu regain her composure so quickly, a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes. After all, she had relied on the sacred light of the Holy Pagoda, while Mo Yu was able to maintain his consciousness on his own.

The difference is obvious.

"This is the core of the 'Eight Pagodas' – the Pagoda Pearl."

The Floating Ancestor also glanced at Mo Yu with surprise, somewhat astonished by the latter's control over killing intent. He then pointed at the eight crimson beads and smiled slightly.

Then, the Floating Ancestor waved his sleeve, and the eight beads suddenly burst forth with crimson light.

Above that light, eight ferocious giant shadows gradually formed.

The eight giant shadows were all hundreds of feet tall. They had ferocious faces, some like angry Vajras and others like vicious Rakshasa. Without exception, they all exuded an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

Qingyan gazed at the eight colossal figures, seemingly enlightened: "Ancestor, could they be the Eight Pagodas?"

The Old Ancestor Futu smiled and nodded.

"The most precious thing about these eight pagodas is not the cultivation method, but the eight pagoda beads forged by many demon emperors!" (End of this chapter)
