Seizing The Inheritance?

Seizing The Inheritance? . . .

Mo Xie advanced further into the cavern's depths. Inside, he encountered a monumental statue, a likeness of the impervious body from earlier. Towering and grandiose, this statue bore a smaller entrance on its surface, radiating a brilliant inner light.

Several geniuses followed in Mo Xie's wake, but their progress ground to a halt upon sighting the statue. All eyes fixed on Mo Xie, awaiting his lead.

Mo Xie's figure flickered, swiftly making his way into the golden-hued statue's interior.

"This must be the formidable ancient emperor's visage, and perhaps more treasures lie within." Eager anticipation gleamed in the eyes of the pursuing group. Bone Demon, with his exceptional swiftness, surged ahead, intent on claiming all the potential riches.

Yet, Mo Xie's eyes narrowed, and he cast a cold glance at Bone Demon, who had brushed past him. Vast and imposing power radiated from Mo Xie, dark golden beams shooting forth from his eyes.

"Back off," Mo Xie's voice carried an icy edge as he thrust out his palm. Bone Demon, in response, extended his own palm, infused with incredible capabilities.

However, Mo Xie's current might was simply overwhelming. His entire being shimmered with a dark golden brilliance, and the force packed within his palm attack was enough to reduce his opponents to supplicants. His aura soared to its zenith, and with a resounding explosion, the two palms clashed. In an instant, Bone Demon let out a wretched cry as the arm he'd extended earlier shattered into pieces. The other geniuses watched in astonishment as Bone Demon was sent hurtling through the air, fresh blood spurting uncontrollably.

"Incredible."

"Mo Xie's aura is utterly terrifying now. Given the might of his current physique and his unwavering fighting spirit, Bone Demon couldn't withstand even a single blow, and he ranks in the top ten."

A shudder coursed through the onlookers. Their steps involuntarily faltered, and they dared not overtake Mo Xie.

Mo Xie's eyes flashed as he addressed Bone Demon with a cold retort, "You've overestimated your abilities."

He then turned his gaze toward the others, a sneering smile gracing his lips. Only then did he resume his journey deeper into the golden statue's cavern. His fellow geniuses, now filled with trepidation, followed at a respectful distance. They didn't dare to draw near Mo Xie.

Even Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue couldn't hide the traces of fear in their eyes. Prior to this, Mo Xie had already been a terrifying figure with ruthless methods, willing to be ruthless to both himself and others. Now, having acquired the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's inheritance and established a supreme physique, he was unrivaled in this world. Who could possibly stand in his way?

Mo Xie ventured further into the cave's inner sanctum. Within this sacred space, radiant light bathed the surroundings, and intricate runes emitted a resplendent glow. Each rune seemed to exude a supreme power, portraying the life journey of a martial cultivator in various stages.

Mo Xie casually surveyed the room, disregarding the martial cultivator figurines he considered insignificant, and pressed on deeper into the cave. Upon reaching the far end, his eyes fell upon a series of words: "To establish a Saint-grade Immortal Foundation, one must first attain a supreme indestructible body."

"Saint-grade Immortal Foundation!" Mo Xie's eyes ignited with a brilliant gleam. A Saint-grade Immortal Foundation! Had there truly been individuals who achieved this pinnacle of immortal foundations before?

Could it be that the legacy left by this ancient emperor aimed to pave the path toward establishing a Saint-grade Immortal Foundation?

A knowing smile danced in Mo Xie's eyes. This inheritance far surpassed his initial expectations.

Tilting his head, Mo Xie studied the surroundings with a luminous fervor burning in his dark, golden eyes.

Meanwhile, outside, Qin Wentian and his companions had not yet entered the inner chamber.

Qin Wentian sat serenely in the air, his aura concealed, exuding an air of tranquil concentration. White flames enveloped his body's surface, and he focused all his awareness within himself. He keenly sensed the ceaseless transformations transpiring within his body, with every part interconnected through a distinctive network of runes, gradually converging into a unified whole. A faint but extraordinary qi pulsed from him.

Yet, among those gathered nearby, none paid him any heed. They were all eager to rush forward and uncover the awaited treasures. Only Qing'er and Qin Wentian's companions remained behind.

As before, Qing'er stood vigilant by Qin Wentian's side, ensuring his safety. Jun Mengchen and the others were also present. Jun Mengchen, having completed his own transformation, felt elated to witness Qin Wentian experiencing a similar process. Excitement flashed in his eyes; he didn't feel despondent about failing to attain the indestructible physique of the golden body because he knew that his senior brother was undergoing another transformation just as remarkable.

Establishing a physique didn't necessitate adopting the same indestructible physique as the golden body. For those with immense potential and unique factors, the golden body's energy could serve as a catalyst, allowing them to awaken and establish their own distinctive physiques.

The energy within the golden body had multifaceted effects. Besides facilitating physique establishment, it could also act as a catalyst. Jun Mengchen turned to Nanfeng Yunxi and offered, "Nanfeng, feel free to proceed ahead. We'll remain here a while longer to guard Senior Brother."

Nanfeng Yunxi gazed at Jun Mengchen and replied, "Do you think Mo Xie would allow me to claim his inheritance?"

Jun Mengchen pondered briefly, then nodded, "Given his domineering nature, it's highly unlikely he'd permit anyone to contend for the inheritance with him."

Despite Nanfeng Yunxi's considerable strength, she couldn't match Mo Xie's might.

"In addition, we are all part of the Qin Sect alliance," Nanfeng Yunxi responded without meeting Jun Mengchen's gaze. However, Jun Mengchen couldn't help but wear a sly grin as he watched her. "That's true; we're all part of the Qin Sect. After Senior Brother finishes his cultivation, we can team up to claim Mo Xie's inheritance. It's a shame that Senior Brother Qin's cultivation level is lower than his. If they were both at the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Senior Brother Qin wouldn't lose to Mo Xie."

Nanfeng Yunxi remained silent. Who knew who would be the stronger of the two? Yet, there was no denying that Mo Xie had become exceptionally formidable. His strength had not merely increased slightly but had now far surpassed his past abilities.

Hua Taixu observed Qin Wentian as well. Qin Wentian appeared exceptionally calm, and his experiences seemed distinct from the others. However, seeing Qin Wentian in such a composed state, Hua Taixu couldn't help but feel that Qin Wentian was an enigmatic individual, impossible to fathom. For this journey, although Hua Taixu hadn't gained much, he wasn't particularly bothered. Sometimes, it was clear that good fortune wasn't meant for him. It was futile to covet it all. Nevertheless, if the good fortune was suitable for him, he would give his all to attain it.

As the final cycle of light enveloped Qin Wentian, his aura vanished entirely, as if nothing had occurred. He then opened his eyes and calmly surveyed his surroundings. Upon seeing Qing'er standing protectively in front of him, as well as his other companions by his side, a profound warmth welled up in his heart, and a gentle smile graced his eyes.

"Let's proceed," Qin Wentian said. Upon witnessing the warmth in Qin Wentian's eyes, everyone felt reassured. His smile had a unique ability to bring tranquility.

Hua Taixu's eyes gleamed, recognizing that wherever Qin Wentian went, he effortlessly gathered a circle of close friends. This quality came naturally to him, as if he were born with charisma and charm. However, he was never overbearing, and he possessed a unique trait that made people feel secure around him. Regardless of how fierce the storms might be, he conveyed the impression that he could navigate through them.

This quality went unnoticed by most, but the observant Hua Taixu spotted it. Even Nanfeng Yunxi, the third-ranked genius in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, had subtly changed. She was now willing to play a supporting role, allowing Qin Wentian to take the lead.

Their group ventured deeper into the cavern. Soon, they encountered other geniuses and a massive golden statue up ahead. When the others noticed their arrival, strange expressions crossed many of their faces.

Before Mo Xie had appeared, Qin Wentian had been truly remarkable. Unfortunately, after Mo Xie's arrival, Qin Wentian's brilliance had waned. Nevertheless, when Qin Wentian, Princess Qing'er, and Nanfeng Yunxi joined forces, they astounded everyone by managing to injure Mo Xie.

At this moment, this group of individuals was perhaps the only one capable of challenging Mo Xie's might. The alliances formed by the other geniuses had long crumbled.

Qin Wentian and his companions entered the cave within the golden statue with a sense of urgency. As they ventured inside, they encountered statues formed from intricate and potent runes. Qin Wentian couldn't shake the feeling that these statues held a profound and symbolic significance. Meanwhile, Mo Xie, who had entered ahead of them, stood deep in thought, contemplating the whereabouts of the inheritance.

Mo Xie turned to regard Qin Wentian and his companions. His dark, golden eyes radiated an intense aura. Despite Mo Xie's menacing presence, Qin Wentian calmly approached him, his attention drawn to a row of inscriptions left behind by the ancient emperor.

"Do you have even a trace of fear for me?" Mo Xie asked, his gaze locked onto Qin Wentian.

"What makes you think I should fear you?" Qin Wentian responded. His eyes brightened as he read the inscriptions. Could establishing a supreme physique be just the initial step toward achieving a Saint-grade Immortal Foundation?

"Do Saint-grade Immortal Foundations truly exist?" Nanfeng Yunxi wondered aloud, her eyes filled with intrigue. Could the figure who once stood on par with the Brahma Heavenly Emperor possess such a legendary foundation? Was this individual truly unmatched and supreme?

Such a person would be undeniably formidable. It was no wonder they could rival the Brahma Heavenly Emperor.

Mo Xie smirked, displaying a cold, disdainful smile. His dark, golden eyes were sharp as they bore into Qin Wentian. "Your strength is passable, but your arrogance knows no bounds."

Qin Wentian glanced back at Mo Xie before turning away and heading back towards the cave entrance. There, he closely examined the statue-like bodies manifested by the powerful runes. Could the secret to obtaining a Saint-grade Immortal Foundation be hidden within them?

"Arrogant," Mo Xie muttered, positioning himself at the center of the cave. His body emitted a formidable and substantial energy, creating a continuous rumbling in the cavern. The statues suddenly came to life, illuminated in an instant. A sinister dark light radiated from Mo Xie's body as he extended his hand, conjuring a terrifying vortex. He closed his eyes, fully immersed in his task. It appeared as though he intended to use the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's inheritance to locate and claim this new one.

Qin Wentian didn't interfere or employ any techniques of his own. He stood there in silence. Despite not establishing the indestructible physique of the ancient emperor, he still held deep respect for such an extraordinary figure. These statue-like bodies were placed here for a reason. He needed to use his heart and mind to unravel their secrets.

"Qin Wentian doesn't seem to have given up yet. It's as if he plans to challenge Mo Xie and seize the inheritance. But can he truly succeed as long as Mo Xie is present?" The various geniuses contemplated quietly as they observed the scene. Many believed that Mo Xie had a firm grip on this inheritance. Even if someone managed to snatch it away, with Mo Xie's current power, why would he allow them to escape unscathed?

In Mo Xie's presence, who could possibly wrest this inheritance away from him?
