Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Jin Kui Shows His Power
Outside the Inheritance Hall, Elder Yu Mo and the Hall Master of Mu Residence Killing Hall were currently guarding the entrance.
During this time, they had already scoured all the surrounding halls for inheritances, gaining quite a bit of benefit.
Moreover, both of their cultivations had advanced from the Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm to the Peak of Earth Immortal Realm.
Now their strength had increased significantly compared to a month ago.
"Brother Wei, do you think this kid can obtain the third round of inheritance? It’s been almost a month; his formation should be almost undone by now," Elder Yu Mo said with a smile as he glanced in the direction of the Inheritance Hall.
Wei Dong still wore a cold, indifferent expression.
This Inheritance Hall was the core of the Sage Sect, so the third level of inheritance must be extremely unusual.
However, although the Sage Sect’s inheritance lasted for so long, no disciple had ever passed the third test. Even though Xu Nian was outstandingly talented, acquiring the inheritance would not be so simple.
"The inheritance at this third level is incredibly difficult. He can’t possibly pass the third test in just a month. Even if he is fortunate enough to obtain the inheritance, I am confident I can kill him, and by then the inheritance will still be ours," Wei Dong said calmly, with a tone full of confidence.
He possessed the Secret Technique of Slaughter from the Mu Residence Killing Hall and had now mastered a Blood Burning Secret Technique, with an ace up his sleeve. He couldn’t believe Xu Nian could withstand his attack.
Moreover, with the crafty elder like Elder Yu Mo by his side, no matter how extraordinary Xu Nian was, he was no match for them.
Elder Yu Mo nodded, revealing yellowed teeth, and said, "I always felt something strange about this Sage Hall, as if we haven’t found the true inheritance here. Yet, we’ve searched all around and found nothing peculiar."
Wei Dong nodded, pondering over the same issue.
Although they had scoured all the halls and acquired many spirit pills and immortal artifacts,
they felt they hadn’t found the core foundation of the Sage Sect.
For the Sage Sect to last all these years, it wouldn’t survive solely on a few immortal artifacts and spirit pills.
"These guys are about to come out. Let’s deal with them first, then slowly search again," Wei Dong said.
Elder Yu Mo nodded, agreeing with this approach.
"Buzz!"
Just at that moment, the formation in front of them disappeared.
"They’re out!"
Elder Yu Mo and Wei Dong immediately looked toward the Inheritance Hall.
Sure enough, several figures walked out from the hall.
They noticed that besides Xu Nian and others, there was also a metal puppet following behind them.
But they paid it no mind; it was just a puppet, how powerful could it be.
"I didn’t expect you all to actually come out. I thought you’d keep hiding in there," Elder Yu Mo said with a mocking look at Xu Nian and his companions.
Xu Nian’s cultivation was still at the Middle Stage of Earth Immortal Realm, which eased Elder Yu Mo’s worry.
He really feared this kid might have suddenly powered up significantly. Although they weren’t afraid, they’d prefer to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As for Li Tiangang, Liu Bai Ru, and the others, they weren’t worth considering.
Wei Dong’s gaze was sharp, his expression cold, with a hint of murderous intent.
"I wouldn’t have thought you both to be so patient; it’s been a month, yet you’re still guarding outside. It seems you’re determined to kill us," Xu Nian said with a smile, looking at Elder Yu Mo and Wei Dong.
A month ago, he indeed feared these two.
But now, Xu Nian had strong confidence that he could slay these two old foxes.
After all, he had three bodies, including his original form, each with independent thoughts. As long as one made progress in cultivation, the other two would likewise advance.
This was the power of having multiple forms; it not only provided extra lives but also accelerated insight cultivation.
"Of course, you killed my disciple, and as his master, how can I not avenge him? Boy, if you’re willing to kneel and acknowledge me as your master, perhaps I might consider sparing your life," Elder Yu Mo said with a smile after some thought.
"Acknowledging you as a master isn’t impossible, but I’m afraid you can’t teach me anything new. On the contrary, I, as your disciple, might have to guide you a bit," Xu Nian said with a faint smile.
Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang behind him couldn’t help but laugh; at this point, Xu Nian indeed had the qualifications to instruct Elder Yu Mo.
"Old man, did you hear that? My brother means you should kneel and acknowledge him as a master, and perhaps he might spare you," Shi Guangxu chimed in, mimicking the tone of Elder Yu Mo.
Elder Yu Mo’s eyes flashed with fierceness, coldly snorting, "I didn’t expect your tone to become so arrogant after just a month. It seems there has been considerable improvement. In that case, let this old man see what you’ve got!"
With that, Elder Yu Mo unleashed his Immortal Essence, immediately swinging his cane towards Xu Nian.
The cane was imbued with terrifying power, capable of splitting the heavens and the earth.
But Xu Nian sneered, looking at the swinging cane with a nonchalant expression.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Xu Nian’s insolent attitude, Elder Yu Mo increased his strikes, seemingly aiming to kill Xu Nian in one blow.
However, just before the cane could hit Xu Nian, a golden figure charged forth, throwing a punch.
"Boom!"
The cane instantly shattered.
The terrifying shockwave hit Elder Yu Mo like an invisible giant hammer.
"Puff!"
Elder Yu Mo spat out blood, his body flying backward.
Elder Yu Mo scrambled to plant his feet on the ground, trying to stop his backward motion.
Yet the force was too strong, causing him to lose his balance, dragging his face on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.
"Wow, braking with the face? Impressive, impressive!" Shi Guangxu clapped and cheered at the scene.
Li Tiangang, Liu Bai Ru, and the others couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Senior, even if you want to become a disciple, there’s no need for such formality. I truly can’t afford it," Xu Nian said in a teasing manner.
Elder Yu Mo stood up, his face as dark as could be.
His eyes, however, were fixated on the puppet in front of Xu Nian.
He could never have imagined that the puppet he had ignored was so powerful.
Wei Dong also furrowed his brows, his expression serious.
"It seems this puppet is the third level of inheritance. This guy really obtained the third level inheritance, an Immortal Level Puppet, only the Sage Sect could produce something like this," Wei Dong said, eyes filled with contemplation.
"Immortal Level Puppet?" Elder Yu Mo’s brows furrowed with disbelief, but his eyes had a gleam of greed.
This puppet was indeed a treasure. If acquired, it would be an enormous gain.
Xu Nian watched their greedy expressions and said with a smile, "It’s not truly an Immortal Level Puppet, but it’s made of a mid-grade immortal material. As my strength continues to rise, so will the puppet’s. It might eventually become an Immortal Level Puppet. So, are you two planning to snatch it?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Yu Mo and Wei Dong’s eyes lit up; a puppet that can grow with its master?
This was indeed a rare treasure!
This puppet must be seized!
