Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1019 Guanjiang Estuary, Erlang Shen, Inheritance Dojo
A month later, Gao Yang stood in front of the teleportation array, looking back at the Flame God City behind him.

The statue of the Heavenly Emperor still stands in the center of the city, and a faint red glow still permeates the air.

The hibiscus flower field swayed in the wind, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted through the air.

A month has passed since they returned from Buzhou Mountain. Erlang Shen's dojo will open in just one month, so he needs to arrive there in advance so that he can enter the dojo as soon as it opens.

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze, turned around and stepped into the teleportation array. As the array lit up, his figure disappeared.

Half a month later, Gao Yang appeared in the southeast of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and was traveling along the great river on the vast land below.

He didn't know the name of the great river, but the inheritance token pointed to this river. Following the river downstream, he could reach Erlang Shen's dojo.

On the wide river, several large ships are sailing downstream.

On the deck, a group of slightly excited young people were standing by the ship's railing, talking animatedly.

The central topic of their conversation was the soon-to-open Erlang Shen inheritance dojo.

In their conversation, they all expressed their longing for the inheritance of Erlang Shen's dojo, fantasizing about being able to receive the inheritance and then ascend to heaven in one step.

Standing high in the air, Gao Yang looked at the many young people on the ship and knew in his heart that these young people would not have the opportunity to receive the inheritance.

They came from afar, only to gamble on a vague opportunity: to see if they could be directly chosen by the Land of Inheritance when it opened.

However, from these young people, Gao Yang learned the specific details of Erlang Shen's dojo.

Erlang Shen's dojo is located at the mouth of the Mingjiang River. The dojo is guarded by many mountain spirits, who only temporarily leave each time the dojo is opened.

There are rumors that if someone inherits the complete legacy of Erlang Shen, they may become the master of all mountain spirits and rule over all the mountain spirits and monsters in the prehistoric world.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Gao Yang did not wait there and flew directly towards the location of Guanjiang Estuary.

He arrived at Guanjiang Estuary in just one day.

Upon his arrival, he felt a series of unfriendly gazes upon him. The owners of these gazes were both humans and beasts, and their cultivation levels were generally at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level or above, with the possibility of them concealing their cultivation levels not being ruled out.

Their gazes were filled with obvious wariness and hostility, some subtle and others undisguised.

Gao Yang didn't care about these gazes. He put his hands behind his back, found an open space, and stood there, looking at a palace located at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

Above the palace are the three large characters “True Lord Hall”. Around the palace, there are many strangely shaped mountain spirits holding weapons and guarding the area. The leader of the mountain spirits is a mountain demon about three zhang tall. He stands guard in front of the gate of True Lord Hall, holding a long spear and looking fierce. He is clearly a quasi-saint.

The mountain demon looked at Gao Yang, and two beams of tangible, ghostly light shot directly at him.

However, before the ghostly light could reach Gao Yang, it was blocked by a token.

The mandrill glanced at the token in Gao Yang's hand, then looked away.

Since the other party possesses the inheritance token, they can stay here. As for whether anyone will be interested in the token in their possession, that is not something the guardian needs to worry about.

Gao Yang stood on the open ground, his aura barely visible, quietly waiting for the training ground to open.

There are 33 cultivators of Taiyi Golden Immortal level or above in this area, and with him, that makes 34. Considering that there is still about half a month before the opening of the Daoist temple, the final number should exceed 100.

While waiting, Gao Yang discovered that many people in this place did not have inheritance tokens. As long as one person in a group had an inheritance token, the quasi-saint mountain demon would not drive them away.

Zhu Qing had previously stated that only those who possessed the Inheritance Token could enter the Inheritance Land. Now, these cultivators do not have the Inheritance Token, so why are they waiting here?
Gao Yang looked at the Zhenjun Temple not far away, lost in thought.

This situation can only mean one thing: the location of Erlang Shen's inheritance is within the Secret Realm Cave Heaven. These cultivators only need to enter the Secret Realm Cave Heaven, and are not required to enter the inheritance site located within the Secret Realm Cave Heaven.

Of course, it's also possible that these people might try to steal other people's tokens in the secret realm.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang gently closed his eyes. If that were the case, perhaps he could gain something again.

Half a month passed quickly as one cultivator after another arrived.

With the opening of Erlang Shen's dojo imminent, the number of cultivators who have come here has exceeded two hundred. Some come in groups, while others, like Gao Yang, come alone, but they are few in number.

On this day, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles.

The numerous mountain spirits who had been waiting in front of the True Lord's Hall for months arrived there, led by the Quasi-Saint Mountain Demon.

As the quasi-saint mountain demon performed a magic incantation, the gates of the True Lord's Hall slowly opened.

The moment the gate opened, boundless golden light burst forth from within, lotus blossoms descended from the sky, and peach blossoms surged from the river beneath the True Lord's Palace.

Gao Yang squinted at the strange phenomenon before him, his heart unmoved.

He can now perform the same simple vision.

Compared to these strange phenomena, he was more curious about the golden spatial vortex that occupied most of the space in the center of the True Monarch Hall's gate.

Clearly, those who wish to obtain Erlang Shen's inheritance must enter this spatial vortex, where they can find the corresponding place of inheritance on the other side.

The mandrill took a step out in front of the gate and appeared in mid-air the next instant.

It surveyed its surroundings, its sharp, hoarse voice booming: "The True Lord's Hall is now open. Each token allows a maximum of five people to enter. If you don't go now, when will you?"

As soon as the Quasi-Saint Mountain Demon finished speaking, a handsome Taoist priest, wearing a phoenix-winged golden-feathered crown, a purple-gold eight-trigram robe, and auspicious cloud boots, stepped forward from the crowd, bowed slightly to the Quasi-Saint Mountain Demon, and then flew towards the gate of the True Lord's Hall.

After he set off, the four Great Luo Golden Immortals behind him followed closely behind, and together they entered the vortex in the center of the gate.

As Gao Yang watched the other party disappear into the vortex, and listening to the discussions of the surrounding cultivators, he realized that the young Taoist was a true disciple of the Taoist sect, and the four Great Luo Golden Immortals were his protectors.

After the true disciples of the Daoist sect entered, many cultivators began to set off, and all sorts of rainbow lights continuously entered the teleportation vortex.

That's about it.

After dozens of people entered the spatial vortex, Gao Yang took a step forward and flew towards the gate of the True Lord's Palace.

As he set off, several teams followed closely behind. Without exception, these teams were all five-person teams, and most of the members were Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Gao Yang glanced at them, then disappeared directly into the golden vortex.

After a brief sensation of teleportation, Gao Yang stepped onto a giant rock.

He landed on a broad mountain ridge covered with jagged boulders, and above him was a slowly rotating golden vortex.

At this moment, several cultivators were passing through the golden vortex.

Gao Yang looked up as they passed through the whirlpool, waiting silently.

A few seconds later, all twenty cultivators stepped through the teleportation portal, their eyes scanning Gao Yang up and down.

The cultivators who subsequently stepped through the teleportation portal witnessed this scene and quickly departed. This sight made their smiles even more arrogant. The gaunt Daoist at the head of the group looked at Gao Yang and said with a forced smile:
“Fellow Daoist, we have arrived at the True Monarch's Secret Realm. My friends and I would like to borrow something from you. We hope you will grant our request.”

Gao Yang glanced at him and slowly uttered a single word: "Get lost!"

The gaunt Taoist was taken aback, then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "If you are unwilling, then don't blame us for being ruthless."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding cultivators released their cultivation power, and in an instant, the magical pressure of more than ten Great Luo Golden Immortals descended, causing the world to change color.

Surrounded, Gao Yang's lips curled slightly, and in the next instant, his sword flashed, and he vanished from his spot.

The gaunt young man immediately shouted, "Don't let him escape!"

But before he could finish speaking, a large hand covered his face, its five fingers hooking tightly around his head.

Through the gaps between their fingers, the young man saw that the one grabbing his head was the same young man they had surrounded.

Gao Yang's body was ablaze with golden solar battle aura, and his five fingers were filled with sword intent. Surrounded by numerous cultivators, he suddenly clenched his fist.

puff!

The sword energy raged, and the gaunt youth's head exploded like a watermelon. The murderous sword energy directly annihilated his soul, leaving no chance of survival.

Gao Yang flicked away the blood smeared in his hand, looked at the cultivators around him, and naturally took Yongyao into his palm.

"Let's not waste any more time. Next time, keep your eyes open."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually slashed out with his sword.

Only then did the cultivators surrounding him react. Some unleashed their magic to attack him, while others' pupils constricted and they turned to flee.

In response to their choices, Gao Yang simply stood quietly in place, watching the sword he had unleashed spread outwards.

In an instant, all nineteen cultivators around him were swept away by the sword light transformed from "Man-made Disaster - Slaughter".

The cultivators froze, their life force dissipated, and their bodies fell limply from the sky.

A series of network notifications appeared before Gao Yang's eyes. He looked at the notifications and nodded with satisfaction.

These twenty people contributed a total of twenty-three Life Essence Crystals, three Power Fragments, four Physique Fragments, one Agility Fragment, and over one hundred million Legendary Experience Points.

"not bad."

Gao Yang put away Yongyao, not even glancing at the corpses scattered on the ground. He made a fist and took the four inheritance tokens from their bodies into his hand before flying away.

These people had ill intentions, so Gao Yang naturally wouldn't be polite to them.

Now that the trivial matters are finished, the focus naturally shifts to passing on the legacy.

Fortunately, after entering this True Monarch's Secret Realm, his inheritance token underwent some changes, with four points of light appearing in the four directions of the token.

After a brief examination, Gao Yang realized that these four points of light were the location of the inheritance within Erlang Shen's dojo.

The place to the due north is where Erlang Shen's mantle was passed down, containing all that Erlang Shen learned in his life, including the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

However, Gao Yang was not interested in Erlang Shen's lifelong learning. Compared to the inheritance from the due north direction, the inheritance from the due south direction of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts suited his taste better.

He only needs the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts; he doesn't need the rest of the inheritance, including the rare and precious materials nurtured in this secret realm.

Without hesitation, Gao Yang headed due south.

He arrived relatively early, and there weren't many who were faster than him. In just half a day, he reached the place of inheritance of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts in the due south direction. At this time, there were only three people in front of the inheritance site.

The three stood in a triangle, each quite wary of the other.

Gao Yang's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the three. Without the slightest hesitation, the three looked at Gao Yang in perfect unison, their gazes filled with pressure as they fell upon him.

Clearly, they intended to discourage Gao Yang from making a move.

"I don't want to kill you, and you shouldn't cause me any trouble."

Gao Yang landed in the center of the three, a scarlet aura emanating from him, and walked towards the main hall ahead.

The main hall was tightly closed, indicating that no one else had gotten there first.

Wow~
The three cultivators stared at Gao Yang with horror in their eyes. The stench of blood emanating from him was so strong that it almost created a tangible illusion.

Just looking at each other, they felt as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood were spreading out before them, and they had no thought of fighting against each other.

They stood frozen in place, watching Gao Yang walk to the front of the hall and press the inheritance token in his hand against the gate.

Rumble~
He pressed the token against the gate, and the tightly closed palace doors burst open. Gao Yang strode inside without looking back.

As soon as he entered the hall, the door behind him slammed shut.

At the same time, the space inside the hall changed, and in just a moment Gao Yang found himself standing in front of a towering cliff.

On the sheer cliff in front of him stood a human-shaped statue that was ten thousand feet tall.

The human-shaped statue has a vertical pupil between its eyebrows and holds a three-pointed, double-edged sword; it is none other than Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

Gao Yang looked up at the Erlang Shen stone statue in front of him and slowly said, "Then, how can one be considered to have inherited the legacy?"

As he finished speaking, the Erlang Shen statue in front of him suddenly emitted a faint light. Then, the divine light condensed, and a figure wearing bright silver armor and holding a three-pointed double-edged sword walked out of the statue.

With just one step, it shrunk to the size of a normal person and stood not far from Gao Yang.

"Fight me and defeat me, and you will receive the inheritance of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts."

Gao Yang looked at the figure in front of him and sensed the Dao aura emanating from him. He knew in his heart that this was Erlang Shen's projection of the Great Dao.

Defeating the projection of the Great Dao before you will grant you the qualification to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. It can be said that this inheritance couldn't be simpler.

Gao Yang stepped toward the projection of Erlang Shen's Great Dao, making a grasping motion with one hand, only to find that Yongyao did not appear in his palm.

The projection of the Great Dao also strode towards him, and Gao Yang noticed that the other party's three-pointed double-edged sword had also remained in place.

So this battle isn't a contest of weapons, but purely a test of physical strength and close-combat skills?

Upon seeing this, Gao Yang immediately understood.
