Ancient Cultivator Inheritance
"The cave was covered in dust, yet the formation was still functioning."
Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly, having roughly guessed the origin of this cave dwelling.
This cave dwelling has clearly been neglected for many years, yet the array still retains a certain amount of power, indicating that the original owner of this place was quite skilled in array formations.
"Call out--"
But at that moment, a streak of light flew across the void from afar.
As Deng Yuanwu flew by in his treasure boat, his eyes shone with spiritual light, and in the blink of an eye, he saw through the illusionary formation of the Spirit Mountain and discovered this third-tier Spirit Mountain.
"It's Ancient Cultivator Abode."
The Deng Clan ' expressions changed, and they quickly urged the treasure boat to fly into the Spirit Mountain.
Deng Yuanjie glanced at Spirit Mountain and said excitedly, "This cave has been abandoned for many years, yet the formation still retains 70% of its power. It must have a significant origin."
Deng Yuanwu nodded, but then turned his gaze to Chen Nianzhi.
"Kill him first, then we'll take this cave." As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his third-tier magic sword and slashed down.
Don't be reckless.
Deng Yuanjie's expression changed slightly, but it was too late to dissuade him.
Before Chen Nianzhi could make a move, this strike actually triggered a reaction from the protective formation of Spirit Mountain.
The formation on Spirit Mountain was activated, and a powerful suction force pulled everyone in, drawing them into the cave.
"It's a trapping formation."
As soon as she landed, Chen Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He carefully observed his surroundings and found that Ya Ya was still beside him, but the two members of the Deng Clan had disappeared.
The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, and he was trapped in the cave by a Tier 3 High-grade formation, which would likely make it difficult for him to escape for the time being.
"It seems the owner of this cave has no ill intentions."
Suppressing the thought, he carefully shielded Ya Ya behind him, and then noticed a piece of glass gemstone in front of him.
"Recording Stone"
Chen Nianzhi's gaze sharpened slightly as he recognized the origin of the object: the Recording Stone was a treasure specifically used to record images and sounds.
If this item were only of the Tier 1, it wouldn't be very expensive, but the Recording Stone in front of us is of the third rank, making it extremely precious.
A third-tier Recording Stone can store information for over a thousand years, making it an ideal treasure for burning and passing on cultivation Cultivation Method. Its value is also tens of thousands of Spirit Stone.
"It seems to be a message left by the owner of this place."
Chen Nianzhi whispered, and with a flick of his sleeve, he activated the Recording Stone, releasing a wisp of True Essence.
The Recording Stone emitted a light, and a phantom-like figure was projected out.
It was an old man with a withered face. He sat cross-legged in the cave and spoke calmly.
"I am Mo Hongwu, and I have cultivated for over five hundred years. Now, feeling that my lifespan is coming to an end, I leave behind this Recording Stone. I wonder which fellow Daoist will be fortunate enough to see it."
"..."
As the light from the Recording Stone shifted, Chen Nianzhi quickly understood the background of this senior.
This Mo Hongwu is the Mo Daoist Daoren from a thousand years ago. He was a Rogue Cultivator who, in his youth, fortuitous opportunity chance obtained a precious inheritance of alchemy and formation techniques. Coupled with his Bu Fan talent, he made a great name for himself.
Back then, Mo Hongwu was one of the top Purple Mansion cultivators in the Azuregreen Mountains. He had taken three Longevity Pill and broke through to the Golden Core realm stage three times in a row, even reaching the False Core realm stage.
Unfortunately, he was still just a step short, leaving him with a lifelong regret.
Moreover, due to his three consecutive failures to break through to the Golden Core realm stage, Mo Daoist's wealth accumulated over five hundred years was almost exhausted. Even his relatives and friends, who were trying to help him protect the Core Formation treasure, were all implicated and robbed.
After his final failed attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm stage, he found himself completely alone, his Qi and Blood almost depleted, leaving him with virtually nothing.
On his deathbed, Mo Hongwu died with resentment in his heart, leaving behind only this Recording Stone.
According to what was written on the Recording Stone, he wanted to pass on the Pill Formula he had inherited, and to ensure that these two ancient books would be passed down.
The place Chen Nianzhi was teleported to was the place of inheritance. As long as he could comprehend the control secrets of the Never Forget Peak formation within a day and prove his Bu Fan comprehension, he could inherit both kinds of inheritance.
"The control secrets of the Great Geng Sword Formation"
Chen Nianzhi's brow twitched slightly as he realized that the formation separating him from Deng Yuanwu was to prevent them from influencing each other.
Whoever can first grasp the secret of control will receive the inheritance of Mo Daoist.
If they fail to comprehend the formation within a day, the protective formation will be activated to kill them within the cave in order to prevent them from forcibly attacking the formation.
"It's still quite difficult."
Chen Nianzhi muttered to himself calmly that comprehending the control secrets of Tier 3 High-grade formation was not actually that difficult, since it was just a control method, and any Foundation Establishment cultivator could master it with careful study.
Unfortunately, the time given by Mo Daoist was too short; one day was simply not enough, and most Foundation Establishment cultivators probably couldn't even manage it.
However, he was very confident. When he was three years old, he could recognize his own meridians after seeing them once, and he could understand the cultivation Cultivation Method overnight and embark on the path of cultivation. This comprehension was even a bit astonishing.
"Let's give it a try."
Chen Nianzhi opened the Secret Method Jade Slip, glanced at it, and then fell into deep contemplation.
After about half an incense stick's time, he opened his eyes and began to try to activate the Secret Method to control the great formation.
The formation emitted a light, and in an instant, he had it under his control.
"It's not that difficult."
Chen Nianzhi murmured, realizing that after taking control of the formation, he was able to sense the state of the cave through it.
Deng Yuanwu and Deng Yuanjie were still at the other end of the cave, diligently studying the secret method of control.
"Perfect, saves us the trouble of a war."
Chen Nianzhi sneered and activated the mountain-protecting formation Great Geng Sword Formation.
A barrage of sword lights swept across the sky, crashing down on the crowd like a tsunami.
"No."
"How could it be so fast?"
Deng Yuanjie was horrified; he could hardly believe that the formation had been activated so quickly.
The two continuously activated their defensive techniques, attempting to block the attacks of the Great Geng Sword Formation. However, how long could they withstand the vast Spiritual Qi of Tier 3 Upper-grade Spirit Vein?
Seeing that the defensive Law Treasure was about to collapse, Deng Yuanwu finally showed a look of shock and said through gritted teeth.
"Sir, I have truly lost today."
"If you spare my life, I'll give you anything you want."
"Yeah?"
Chen Nianzhi sneered, showing no mercy whatsoever.
No matter how wealthy the two were, it was all in vain before Tier 3 High-grade Mountain-Protecting Array.
As countless sword lights fell, the two only lasted for a few dozen breaths before being pinned to death in the cave.
After doing all this, Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He took the two people's Storage Bag and rummaged through them for a while.
To prevent the other party from leaving tracking methods in the Storage Bag, he only took out a few precious treasures such as Spirit Stone, Law Treasure, pills, Jade Slip.
