I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

After turning away, Cheng Ran went to the giant stone statue and kept touching it.

His immediate priority is to find a successor.

Otherwise, what if Ye Chen suddenly appears later and inexplicably takes away the inheritance...?

Wouldn't that cause it to explode?

With a palace master present, he couldn't very well kill Ye Chen on the spot to steal the treasure.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, a clear and calm female voice entered my ears again.

Lu Shixue slowly followed.

Anyway, it's not about doing...

cough cough.

Restraining his evil thoughts, Cheng Ran frowned slightly and asked:

"Palace Master Lu, didn't you tell me to get lost? Why did you follow me here yourself?"

Lu Shixue ignored him.

She simply looked up, gazing at the enormous stone statue before her:

"What do you mean by the Emperor's succession?"

"Is Palace Master Lu curious?"

As Cheng Ran searched, he turned his head to look at Lu Shixue.

Lu Shixue nodded slightly: "The Human Emperor is the ancestor of the Holy Land, and her legacy is of extraordinary significance to the Holy Land."

"Yes, that's true."

Cheng Ran nodded in agreement, then immediately began to make things up:

"In fact, I was given a dream last night. In the dream, a fairy with a 36E bust told me to come to the Valley of the Immortals today, saying that the legacy of the Human Emperor Ancestor is here."

Lu Shixue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

What is 36E?

Why is this beast staring at my OO when he's talking?

Moreover, the idea of ​​dreams being visited by spirits sounds like a scam...

wrong!

What is he looking at?

Lu Shixue felt angry and subconsciously reached for the talisman again.

But in the next moment.

Cheng Ran suddenly touched a switch on the giant stone statue.

He pressed the switch gently.

Suddenly, a jade pendant fell from the sky.

Cheng Ran walked to the jade pendant, bent down and picked it up.

Meanwhile.

A wisp of spirit suddenly shot out from the jade pendant.

"Who awakened the true self?"

What entered my ears was a voice that was neither male nor female, and sounded extremely indistinct.

The voice sounded like a cake seller, and Lu Shixue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

What that beast said...

Could it really be true?

She turned her head to look at Cheng Ran.

Cheng Ran remained expressionless and said:

"Senior, it was me and this beautiful older sister who woke you up."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the wisp of spirit seemed quite pleased:

"Not bad, not bad... The disciples of my Primordial Holy Land are getting more and more handsome."

That's all.

Suddenly, the eyes of a stone statue almost as tall as a person beside him gleamed with a ghostly green light.

The spirit rose into the air.

Then it traveled into the body of the stone statue.

Then, the stone statue seemed to come to life and transformed into a little girl with an ethereal and otherworldly air.

She walked up to the two of them, her tone carrying an air of authority and dominance:

"You two need not be alarmed. I am a wisp of the Human Emperor's spirit, and I have come to explain some things to you. You can regard me as the Human Emperor."

It really is the Human Emperor...

That legendary ancestor who slew the Demon Lord and, together with the Sword Emperor, created the Primordial Holy Land to suppress the fate of the human race...

Lu Shixue was slightly surprised.

At the same time, I felt a sense of joy.

You should know that she had only come to the Valley of the Immortals to relax today and never expected to have such an extraordinary encounter.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Shixue respectfully bowed with her hands clasped.

"Junior Lu Shixue greets the Human Emperor Ancestor."

Cheng Ran also bowed in response:

"Junior Cheng Ran greets the Human Emperor Ancestor."

No need for formalities.

The Emperor's voice was extremely majestic, yet it also revealed a hint of satisfaction:

"Since you were able to see the true self, it means that you are all people with firm Dao hearts and are able to be fearless of illusions."

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The reason I set up this illusory space in the holy land is not for any other purpose than to pass on something."

After saying that, she summoned four mysterious spirits from the air.

They are black, white, red, and cyan.

Cheng Ran was overjoyed.

This thing looks awesome.

It can't all be mine, can it...?

He quickly suppressed the urge to smile and asked, feigning respect:

"Ancestor, what is this?"

The Emperor spoke calmly and without a trace of emotion:

"These are the four symbols: Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger, which are the four manifestations of my primordial power."

"You can choose one of the four elemental powers and inject it into the jade pendant you just picked up. Then the jade pendant will gradually regain one of the four elemental powers."

Cheng Ran was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Ancestor, does that mean this jade pendant is the magical artifact you intend to pass down to us?"

The Emperor glanced at Cheng Ran and thought to himself that this kid was quite anxious.

He's quite a cute young man.

"That's exactly right."

"Gentlemen, if you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me."

The voice just fell.

"Ancestor."

"Ancestor."

Cheng Ran and Lu Shixue's voices rang out at the same moment.

"Palace Master, would you like to go first?"

Maintaining his gentlemanly manners, Cheng Ran humbly offered his hand.

Lu Shixue didn't stand on ceremony, but calmly asked:

"May I ask, Ancestor, what are the characteristics of these Four Symbols Power, and why can only one symbol be chosen?"

As the person in charge of the holy land, she naturally needed to understand the effects of the inheritance.

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor's mind stirred, and immediately the spirits of the Four Symbols swirled around her, complementing her explanation:

"The Black Tortoise belongs to the water element and can temporarily create protective barriers."

"The Azure Dragon belongs to the element of wood and can heal all living beings in the world."

"The White Tiger belongs to the metal element and can briefly intimidate the surrounding space."

"The Vermilion Bird belongs to the element of fire and can unleash explosive true flames to incinerate the enemy."

"As for why..."

The old ancestor sighed softly at this point, paused for a moment, and then said:

"Did you know that after the four elements unite, they will bear a portion of the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Um."

Lu Shixue had already heard about it.

She carries the legacy of the Holy Land and has read many ancient books related to the power of the Primordial Chaos.

Ancient texts say that the Human Emperor Ancestor only touched the origin of the Dao after he activated the unity of the Four Symbols.

However, later generations, and even fewer, were able to master the power of a single elephant.

Since the beginning of time, almost no one in the Primordial Holy Land has practiced the Four Symbols Technique anymore.

That includes herself.

"You mean, if the power of the four elements were to unite and this jade pendant fell into the hands of someone with malicious intentions, it would bring disaster to the Holy Land and even the entire Nine Provinces?"

The old ancestor nodded upon hearing this, and then added:

"That's right. Moreover, after the four elements are united, this jade pendant will become the vessel and carry the fortune of the sacred land."

"In my opinion, you should have the inheritance of the Holy Land."

"If you are used by someone with ulterior motives, that person can even use the power of the Holy Land's fortune to forcibly suppress you, regardless of your cultivation level."

Lu Shixue fell silent upon hearing this, understanding the ancestor's concerns.

The ancestor was worried that while this jade pendant brought immense power, it would also become a constraint on the sacred land and her.

How so?

That makes sense.

However, she felt that this was a bit too cautious.

She didn't believe that there could be such a daring person in the holy land who would dare to steal this jade pendant.

only......

Since it was the ancestor's will, she dared not disobey, even if she had a reason.

As the person in charge of the holy land.

It requires understanding human relationships and social etiquette.

That's all...

Lu Shixue fell silent, lowering her head to ponder which elephant spirit to choose.

"It's my turn to ask."

At this moment, Cheng Ran finally spoke, and also yawned.

To be honest, listening to these two old women babbling on and on was putting him to sleep.

"Um."

The old ancestor looked at Cheng Ran.

After all, she was a true immortal, so she didn't mind Cheng Ran's unconventional ways.

Cheng Ran then asked seriously:

"Ancestor, to be precise, you are not complete now, are you? After all, your original self has already ascended."

Oh, what a clever young man...

The old ancestor praised it in his heart, and also readily admitted it:

"Yes, my true form resides in the upper realm, therefore I can only project a portion of my will into the lower realm."

"To be honest, even my current clone has incomplete memories; I can only clearly remember the part about inheriting this jade pendant."

Cheng Ran then asked, "May I ask, Ancestor, what is your current cultivation level?"

The ancestor replied, "What cultivation can a wisp of spirit possess? Apart from inheriting this jade pendant, I am no different from a mortal."

Soga, soga...

Cheng Ran twisted his neck, a sly glint suddenly flashing in his eyes.

His perspective is novel and authentic:

"So, that means I can beat you up now, Ancestor?"

What? !

I didn't mishear, did I?

He said he beat up the real person?

The Emperor's spirit seemed somewhat flustered for some reason.

For a moment, she couldn't understand what Cheng Ran was trying to do.

However, the next moment...

She was completely dumbfounded.

Cheng Ran slowly walked up to her, raised his fist the size of a potato, and looked at her with a fierce expression.

Then, he slapped her across the face, making a loud thud.

"Damn it, he's so arrogant even without any cultivation, and he only gave me the power of an elephant."

"I don't care about inheritance or destiny, today you old geezer, you have to hand over all the power of the Four Symbols!"
