A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

“Senior is right, I have indeed found it.”

"That person is... the Northern Emperor Teng!"

"what?"

"But...didn't you already defeat Wang Teng?" The crane asked, somewhat confused.

"That's right, he lost."

"That is precisely why he should be the true successor of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor."

"If one were truly invincible for an entire lifetime, that wouldn't be like the successor of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, wouldn't you agree, senior?"

Crane: "......."

What does it mean to only resemble the successor of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor after defeat?

The crane always felt that Lin Xiu was badmouthing the Ancient Emperor.

While that is indeed the case, could you at least tone it down a bit?

"You mean, you intend to personally temper Wang Teng's Dao heart?" The crane temporarily put the matter of Little Blackie out of its mind and continued to ask.

"Yes."

"Now..." Lin Xiu glanced at the golden battle flag and smiled brightly.

"Right now, he has been defeated more than twenty times by the Azure Emperor's phantom."

"Ah, this..."

The crane silently turned its head away, unsure of what to say.

He could certainly understand the phantoms of emperors at the same level, and there were similar things in the trials of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

But where can you find tests that are mixed up?

Wang Teng defeated the illusory image of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor at the Immortal Realm 1, yet he was used as a punching bag by the Azure Emperor... Doesn't this mean the Chaotic Ancient Emperor is inferior to the Azure Emperor?!

Okay, although the Chaotic Ancient Emperor is indeed inferior, Lin Xiu's actions are really disrespectful to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor!

"Ah~"

"In short, I hope you can handle things well and help Wang Teng rise from the ashes."

The crane is numb.

Well, with Lin Xiu around, Wang Teng really has no choice but to follow the path of becoming an emperor through countless defeats.

"That's certainly how it should be!"

"It is my duty as a junior to hone the skills of the Great Emperor of Chaos and Ancient Times!" Lin Xiu declared passionately.

The crane, however, brushed its wings against her face.

do not talk.

He just wanted to beg Lin Xiu to stop talking.

.......

Gai Jiuyou listened to the conversation between the crane and Lin Xiu, and a smile crept onto his old face.

He was glad that he was the supreme ruler of his time.

Otherwise, if he were to die and Xia Jiuyou came to find Lin Xiu again, she might receive the same treatment as Wang Teng.

The thought that it would be the Azure Emperor who would humiliate him made Gai Jiuyou feel a headache coming on.

All I can say is that it's amazing we've managed to survive until now.

Not only can he outdo the successor of the Azure Emperor, but he might even be able to have a grandson before going on to conquer the Supreme Being.

He... has no regrets!

"In that case, I'll go with you."

"Seeing that Lin Xiu has obtained the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, I can finally go into seclusion with peace of mind." Gai Jiuyou planned to escort Lin Xiu one last time.

"Alright, please follow me, senior."

The crane sighed. He knew that Gai Jiuyou wouldn't give up until he saw Lin Xiu obtain the inheritance of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

If that's the case... then let's all come together!

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Could his situation be any worse than it is now?!

.......

The northern plains are a vast expanse of ice and snow.

The crane carried Lin Xiu and Gai Jiuyou across tens of thousands of miles of ice plains to a secluded valley.

There is an ancient underground palace in the valley, which seems to have existed for countless years.

"This place... is the Chaotic Ancient Palace, the place where the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's legacy is passed down."

"Trial participant, here, your cultivation level will be suppressed."

"You must start from the Sea of ​​Wheels realm and pass the trials step by step before you can obtain all the inheritances of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor." The crane looked like a serious and responsible guardian of the inheritance.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Lin Xiu nodded, took a step, and entered the gate of the underground palace.

The moment he stepped into the underground palace, a powerful force descended, suppressing his cultivation to the Sea of ​​Wheels realm.

The first test is the trial of reaching the Sea of ​​Wheels realm.

Lin Xiu stood in a chaotic space, surrounded by a dense aura of death.

Deathly energy surged in like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf him entirely.

According to the requirements of this level, Lin Xiu activated the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, using the Wheel of Life and the Sea of ​​Bitterness to evolve Yin and Yang Chaos to resist the invasion of death energy.

Holy blood surged, the golden sea of ​​suffering churned, the wheel of life turned, and the yin and yang energies circulated, dissolving the approaching death energy one by one.

For Lin Xiu, this level was not particularly difficult. With his experience with the Innate Golden Taiji Circle and the Innate Dao Diagram, Lin Xiu's understanding and application of "Yin and Yang" far surpassed that of other cultivators at the same level.

Soon, Lin Xiu completed the first test and obtained the Wheel Sea Scroll of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, as well as the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's notes, which recorded the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's understanding of Yin and Yang, life and death, chaos, victory and defeat.

Lin Xiu already possessed the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture and such, but he still greatly needed the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's own understanding of the Great Dao.

.........

The second test is the trial of the Dao Palace realm.

Five elements of lightning tribulation descended from the sky, tempering the Dao Palace Gods of the trial participants.

Lin Xiu activated the Five-Colored Divine Light, using the power of the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation to strengthen his Dao Palace God.

Amidst the roaring thunder and flashing lightning, Lin Xiu's Dao Palace God not only remained standing but even became more solidified during the tribulation.

After passing this test, Lin Xiu obtained the "Former Word Secret" and a scroll containing the Ancient Chaos Emperor's understanding of the "Former Word Secret" and the Five Elements Gods of the Dao Palace who could communicate with the past and future.

.......

The third test is the trial of the four extreme realms.

Lin Xiu appeared in a martial arts arena, surrounded by dozens of illusory figures of martial artists of the same realm.

These phantom figures, wielding various weapons, surrounded and attacked him.

Lin Xiu used the Origin Heaven Divine Eye to see through the attack trajectory of the illusory figure.

With limbs moving and fists flying, he easily distinguished between reality and illusion, shattering one after another the illusory figure with real effect.

After passing this test, Lin Xiu obtained the cultivation method of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

......

The fourth test is the trial of reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Before Lin Xiu appeared a phantom of a golden dragon and a phantom of a blazing phoenix. The golden dragon possessed some true dragon blood, while the blazing phoenix possessed some remnants of divine phoenix blood.

This level was the most dangerous, with the immense pressure from the Golden Dragon and the Blazing Phoenix forcing Lin Xiu to go all out.

Lin Xiu activated the Undying Scripture, and golden blood energy soared into the sky. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist flew back and forth, his body entwined with the illusory images of the Six Paths Reincarnation of the heavens, as he fought against the Golden Dragon and the Blazing Phoenix.

After dozens of rounds, Lin Xiu successfully defeated them without triggering any divine restrictions.

After passing this test, Lin Xiu obtained a drop of Divine Phoenix Blood and the cultivation method of the "Slay Myself and Enlighten My Way Technique".

......

The fifth test: the trial of the Sendai realm.

A majestic phantom appeared before Lin Xiu—it was the phantom of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, a being at the Immortal Realm One!

This stage is a real-world test; Lin Xiu needs to fight and defeat the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, who is at the Immortal Realm Level 1.

Fortunately, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, who was at the Immortal Realm 1, had not yet completed his transformation and had not formed a demonic embryo; he was merely at the level of an Eight Forbidden Prodigy.

Moreover, his cultivation level was limited to the first level of the Immortal Realm.

In just over ten moves, Lin Xiu triggered the Divine Restriction and sent away the illusory image of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor in one move.

It's fair to say that triggering divine restrictions at the Immortal Realm One is too overpowered. Most Great Emperors can only comprehend them for a moment at the Great Power Realm, and only occasionally after the Immortal Realm Three has severed its Dao.

By passing this test, Lin Xiu obtained the Chaotic Ancient Sacred Technique, the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Sword, and the Chaotic Ancient War Chariot, among other inheritances.

.......

Next comes the test of the second level of immortality.

After some deduction, Lin Xiu decisively entered the test of the second level of immortality.

The test for the second level of the Immortal Realm was also a phantom of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, but the realm was the first level of the second level of the Immortal Realm.

This time, Lin Xiu had an extremely difficult time.

The eight forbidden geniuses of the first level of the second immortal realm posed a great threat to him, and he was always on the defensive until he triggered the divine restriction.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu had already gotten used to fighting against people of the same realm who were higher than him during the tribulation.

The illusory image of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor in the first level of Immortal Realm 2 is strong, but are the nine humanoid lightning emperors in the third level of Immortal Realm 1, who have all entered the state of divine restriction, not strong?

In the end, Lin Xiu and his Daoist self joined forces, at the cost of severely injuring his Daoist self, and simultaneously unleashed the Azure Lotus Immortal Seed Technique and the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, defeating the second immortal phantom of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.
