Chapter 51 Three Paths of Inheritance
"Let me into the cave."
Xia Mangqing spoke, and Lei Jiao lowered his head, saying:
"Yes, Master."
The next moment, accompanied by a thunderous sound, a cave dwelling suddenly opened beneath the swamp.
The gate to the mansion was only covered by a single layer of water. After passing through it, Xia Mangqing found himself in a very ordinary mansion.
As he was observing, a phantom image materialized—a young girl in red. Upon seeing Xia Mangqing, she bowed respectfully.
"Please follow me, senior."
Xia Mangqing nodded. This girl should be the spirit of the cave. Her aura was very weak, comparable to an ordinary celestial being in the Three Realms.
Before long, she led Xia Mangqing to a pavilion. It was an octagonal pavilion with three floors. It looked very ordinary and was not a treasure.
"Senior, the old master's legacy is kept in this pavilion."
The girl said respectfully.
"I understand, thank you for letting me know."
"You flatter me, senior. I'll take my leave now."
"Um."
After a brief exchange, the girl disappeared, while Xia Mangqing walked towards the pavilion. After several hundred steps, he pushed open the pavilion door and entered.
Upon entering the pavilion, one can immediately see rows of stone tablets, each three zhang tall, inscribed with ancient characters.
Xia Mangqing used his magical power to penetrate the stone tablet directly in front of him and instantly obtained a message, which was a message left by the Qiyue Ancestral Immortal specifically for those with a predestined connection:
"For those who are destined to arrive here, it means that I have already died and my life has ended..."
"Fortunately, I foresaw this, and thus left behind this legacy and treasures. You may freely take and learn from them, but I only hope that in the future you will choose a living being to inherit my mantle. Qi Yue thanks you in advance..."
"I am a peak Ancestral Immortal, specializing in the art of puppetry, with secondary cultivation in the arts of alchemy and formations. My puppetry lineage is placed on the third floor of the Moon Gazing Pavilion, my alchemy lineage on the second floor, and my formations lineage on the first floor..."
Xia Mangqing looked at it slowly and couldn't help but sigh. When this Qiyue Ancestral Immortal left behind this inheritance, he must have been in despair and felt that he had no hope of survival.
All of his instructions were imbued with a sense of impending death.
"Thanks to your kindness and support, senior, I will definitely find a suitable successor for you," Xia Mangqing said solemnly, bowing deeply.
This Qiyue Ancestral Immortal never considered taking any so-called destined person as a disciple, because it was unrealistic. She was well aware of the dangers of this chaotic void, and only those at the True God level could venture into it.
Moreover, the possibility of ordinary true gods falling is very high.
The fact that the Thunder Dragon she left behind possessed the combat power of a top-tier True God indicates that she envisioned the beings destined to obtain the inheritance being at least top-tier True Gods, or even Ancestral Gods or Ancestral Immortals.
As for Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals, Heavenly Gods and Heavenly Immortals are the most suitable to find a successor. Although top True Gods, Ancestral Gods, and Ancestral Immortals are powerful, they may not necessarily become her disciples.
Moreover, she is already dead and has no karmic vows binding her, so there is no need for her to offend those she is destined to meet.
Therefore, she allows anyone with the right affinity to inherit the mantle, as long as they can find a successor for her in the future.
They would accept her kindness, and it was not a difficult thing to do; generally, no living being would refuse.
Having figured this out, Xia Mangqing sat cross-legged on the futon, while simultaneously channeling his magical power into the remaining seven stone tablets.
"Among them, five stone tablets contain the 'Explanation of the Qiyue Formation,' a set of five volumes that elucidates the mysteries of numerous formations at the Celestial Immortal to Ancestral Immortal levels. It also includes the inheritance of over ten major formations such as the Three Thousand Immortal God Formation, the Mind-Disrupting and God-Bewitching Formation, and the Immortal-Slaying Blade Formation!"
There are more than a dozen great formations, all of which are extraordinary. For example, the Three Thousand Immortal God Formation can gather the power of three thousand immortal gods and transform them into a divine being with combat power close to that of an ancestral god.
There is also the Immortal Slaughtering Blade Formation, a grand formation at the Ancestral Immortal level. It can condense the Heavenly Tribulation Blade to slay gods and immortals, and at its strongest, it can unleash the power of an ordinary Ancestral God or Ancestral Immortal.
These were created by the Ancestral Immortal Qiyue herself. She must have possessed even more powerful formations, but she simply couldn't pass them on.
"The remaining two stone tablets actually represent two secret techniques."
Xia Mangqing continued his infiltration and soon obtained two secret techniques.
The first is called "Observing the Celestial Eyes," a wonderful method of eye technique that allows one to observe the operation of the rules of heaven and earth, as well as the operation of formations and restrictions. It is beneficial for enlightenment, breaking formations, and setting up formations.
The first is called "Illusory Heart Dao Guide," which is a secret technique of mental power and spirit. It can refine an Illusory Heart Dao Seed in the sea of consciousness. When combined with the "Illusory Heart Demon Array" in "Qiyue Array Explanation," anyone with mental power and spirit that penetrates the sea of consciousness will be instantly drawn into the illusion array.
"The methods of contemplation and the methods of protecting the soul are both very useful!"
Xia Mangqing smiled, especially at the "Illusory Heart Dao Guide," which he was lacking in protective measures. Now that he had this method, he could avoid being tricked by the Old Man of Source.
"I'll try to understand it later. Let's go check out the second and third levels first."
Xia Mangqing got up and soon went up to the second floor.
This place is smaller than the first level, with only four stone tablets. After penetrating it, he obtained the inheritance of pills at three levels, from Celestial Immortal to Ancestral Immortal, as well as a secret alchemy method created by Ancestral Immortal Qiyue.
Numerous elixir formulas, profound guidance, and a secret method called "Nine Refinements of the Immortal Pill" are all available. With sufficient aptitude, one could cultivate a master alchemist. This demonstrates the dedication of the Ancestral Immortal Qiyue.
On the third level, there are only three stone tablets, which record the puppet inheritance from the level of Celestial Immortal to Ancestral Immortal.
Although there are no secret methods, the instructions are extremely detailed. If the Three Realms possessed a puppet Heavenly Dao, they could completely use it to achieve the status of an Ancestral Immortal.
In addition, on the top of the third-floor pavilion, there is a precious pearl, which is a celestial treasure of the innate level.
After refining and binding it to its master, Xia Mangqing probed into it with his consciousness and was immediately amazed by the work of the Qiyue Ancestral Immortal.
She didn't keep many treasures, only a pill furnace, which was a rare treasure from the Chaos Realm.
However, a great many chaotic artifacts and rare treasures were left behind, all of which were needed for the three paths of alchemy, formation, and puppetry. Their total value was estimated to be equivalent to two or three chaotic treasures.
"As expected of one of the Ten Great Servants, his background is truly astonishing."
Xia Mangqing thought to herself, this is not all that Qiyue Ancestral Immortal has to offer. After all, when she went out with Chiyun Chaos Immortal, she took away her main weapon, strongest puppet, and protective treasures.
However, although she was a servant, she had followed the Crimson Cloud Chaos Immortal for three Chaos Eras, so it was normal for her to have such a background.
"What a rare opportunity..." Xia Mangqing thought with delight, "If a few of the ten great servants were to leave behind their legacy, we would have struck it rich."
This possibility is not small. After all, it's not just Qiyue Ancestral Immortal who can't see hope. Even that Crimson Cloud Chaos Immortal might have left something behind.
On the other side, with the sharing of memories, the second primordial spirit clone, who was waiting at the entrance of the Crimson Cloud Immortal Mansion, had already left the mansion and shared the inheritance he had received with his clones in the Three Realms.
This acquisition will enhance his methods of refining qi, especially the Immortal Slaughtering Blade Formation and other formations. Once he successfully cultivates them, he will possess the combat power of a top-tier True God or True Immortal simply through these formations.
With the addition of the Golden Crow Secret Technique and other techniques, he could be considered one of the more powerful among the top true gods and immortals.
