Chapter 1204: Chapter 1203: Secret Technique of the Wudao Saint Child

[Today’s first update delivered, three more Chapters coming, Xiao Gou continues to work hard...]

Besides Ye Tianchen, the smoking old man, and the woman shrouded in veils, there were also a Tripod Sect elder, a member of the Xinyang family, and the Wudao Saint Child from Wudao Sacred Land. In total, six people entered the Inheritance Small World of the Taishi family.

The elder from the Tripod Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family were aggressive and domineering, intending to kill Ye Tianchen and the others on the spot to avoid contention during the search for inheritance. In contrast, the Wudao Saint Child was a friendly young man who acted as a mediator, urging everyone not to fight hastily, as inheritance could be shared. Not everyone who gains inheritance becomes strong; obtaining it is merely the first step, and the key lies in successful cultivation.

However, when the elder from the Tripod Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family planned to eliminate the Wudao Saint Child due to his meddling, the Wudao Saint Child displayed extraordinary combat power, handling the joint attack from two Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm experts with ease and retreating without a scratch. This level of strength and battle experience was astonishing. Even Ye Tianchen didn’t have absolute confidence in dealing with it, as facing two Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm experts simultaneously feels like being overwhelmed, handling them as effortlessly as the Wudao Saint Child is indeed difficult.

”What’s this? Aren’t you going to fight to the death? I, old smoking pipe, am waiting eagerly for the show!” the smoking old man sneered at the Tripod Sect elder.

”Hmph, a good show? I’ll make sure you see something great!” the Tripod Sect elder snorted coldly, speaking stubbornly.

”It’s rumored that Wudao Sacred Land is always full of uprightness, and every cultivator there is upright and talented with a heart for the world. No matter when, Wudao Sacred Land adheres to the ancient traditions, producing a Saint Child every thousand years—it truly is exceptional!” the veiled woman remarked as she looked at the Wudao Saint Child.

”Thank you, Fairy, for your praise, though it’s too generous. Our Wudao Sacred Land has always been uncompetitive, hoping for harmony in the Martial Arts World and less killing. I hope everyone can receive the Taishi family’s inheritance this time. This is a respectable family, and I hope nobody destroys anything here, as the Taishi family, despite being annihilated, shouldn’t be wantonly destroyed!” the Wudao Saint Child said with righteousness.

”I agree!” the veiled woman was the first to speak.

”I’m no destroyer; I won’t attack without reason like a mad dog.” Ye Tianchen smiled calmly as he spoke.

”I, old smoking pipe, have lived for more than half a lifetime, and the sole intention of coming here is to see what kind of powerful inheritance the once invincible Taishi family has, nothing more.” The smoking old man said after taking a puff.

”I only seek the Taishi family’s inheritance!” the Tripod Sect elder said coldly.

”The Xinyang family also came for the inheritance.” The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family replied.

At this point, the Wudao Saint Child looked at everyone present and smiled amicably, saying, ”Since we all share the same goal and everything here is unknown, possibly fraught with unforeseen dangers, why not join forces to find the inheritance left by the Taishi family? We six obtaining the Taishi family’s inheritance would be a small fraction among martial artists; later, it depends on individual talent and comprehension!”

Ye Tianchen nodded; indeed, the Wudao Saint Child was extraordinary, magnanimous, and upright, possessing both profound cultivation and exceptional wisdom. Unwittingly, he made people accept his words, dissolving the aggression between the Tripod Sect elder and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family—a rare achievement. If it weren’t for the Wudao Saint Child, a battle might have been inevitable.

For the time being, everyone accepted the Wudao Saint Child’s suggestion, focusing on finding the Taishi family’s inheritance. Currently, they had only entered the Taishi family’s Inheritance Small World and hadn’t found the real inheritance. Before them lay three channels, uncertain which one was correct, and nobody dared to recklessly enter, aware of unimaginable dangers. No one wished to endanger themselves in such a predicament, so they all remained in the open area, with nobody taking the initiative.

According to the smoking old man, the Taishi family’s Inheritance Small World was forged by the family head and several Supreme Elders, who foresaw the disaster of annihilation for the Taishi family. This world differs from the outside world, containing not only the powerful inheritance of the Taishi family but also treasures left by them. It’s likely some Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass cultivated by the Taishi family is here as well, unknown as it may be. After all, the Taishi family’s head, along with highly revered and powerful Supreme Elders from the family, must have foreseen the unavoidable disaster; thus, likely placing all the most valuable items of the Taishi family into this small world.

One must admit, those who crafted this small world were remarkably clever and considerate. The inherited small world exists amidst the ruins of the Taishi family, yet isn’t easily found, appearing only once every five hundred years when its seal manifests. Only those who break the seal can enter this world; otherwise, another five hundred years must be awaited. Within the small world, easily obtaining the inheritance is impractical, as a series of tests and challenges await, with any slight carelessness potentially leading to total annihilation. This was the Taishi family’s method to prevent their inheritance from falling into the hands of others.

”There are three channels here; which one should we enter?” the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family walked to one channel entrance and asked.

”I don’t know.” The smoking old man replied indifferently.

”So we’re just going to wait here and not dare to enter?” The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

”You have such high cultivation, formidable combat power, and are so aggressive, why not try each channel? Or are you afraid?” The smoking old man countered sharply.

”You... Hmph, are you trying to trick me into encountering danger as a scapegoat? Do you think I would fall for that?” the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family snorted disdainfully.

”Then just wait. I’m not in a hurry; relaxing with a smoke isn’t bad.” The smoking old man relaxed and smoked for a while.

Ye Tianchen, the veiled woman, the smoking old man, the Tripod Sect elder, the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, and the Wudao Saint Child remained in this vast space. Before them were three channels, with nobody knowing which one led to the true Taishi family’s inheritance. Clearly, one channel should lead to the genuine inheritance, while the other two are likely traps filled with various dangers. Who dares to take risks lightly? Even though they were all Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm experts, none dared be reckless here. It’s essential to know the Taishi family was the most powerful inheritance in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, possessing one of the strongest Divine Arts in the Martial Arts World, the Burning Sky Finger. Such a family’s legacy, whether inheritance or trap, is undoubtedly terrifying.

About an hour later, the Wudao Saint Child suddenly stood up, glanced at everyone, and said, ”Everyone, waiting here isn’t a solution. I have a Secret Technique that isn’t Divine Thought but is much more powerful in detection. It’s an ancient secret technique passed down in Wudao Sacred Land; we can give it a try!”

”Then go ahead and try it!” the Tripod Sect elder said.

”However, I am not yet adept in using this Secret Technique, so I’m unsure if it can accurately detect things. I hope everyone will understand!” the Wudao Saint Child spoke politely.

In truth, the Wudao Saint Child was indeed praiseworthy, friendly, exuding a sense of uprightness from head to toe, unlike the feeling of a despicable person. This provided an impression of being easy-going, potentially forming friendships in a straightforward manner.

The Wudao Saint Child then sat cross-legged at the entrance of the middle channel, slowly bringing his hands together, then continuously waving them to unleash one mysterious Rune after another, all charging into the three channel entrances. As time passed, the Wudao Saint Child’s eyes suddenly shot two beams of Divine Radiance, seemingly able to see through everything at the ends of the three channels.

Before long, the Wudao Saint Child stood up and smiled at Ye Tianchen and the others, saying, ”I used the Secret Technique earlier; at the end of the first channel, there’s a powerful treasure; at the end of the second channel, some Spirit Grass is planted; at the end of the third channel, there’s a giant stone stele, but as for what’s inscribed on the stele, I’m unaware!”

Hearing this, the Tripod Sect elder had a cunning look, glanced at the Wudao Saint Child, and sneered, ”There are treasures in each of the channels—that seems unlikely, and you didn’t sense any danger?”

”Indeed, I didn’t sense danger; it might be because my cultivation isn’t sufficient, I hope you understand!” the Wudao Saint Child said kindly. (To be continued.
