Inheritance?
Fang Yun's first instinct was to bluff his way through and pretend he knew, but he immediately realized that everyone present was a Great Sage. If he lied, they would inevitably expose him, making things even more awkward. And though Lang Kun seemed enthusiastic, he was actually probing him.
Thus, Fang Yun said, "To be honest, I came here because I obtained an ancient map. I only knew there were treasures and Thunder Source here. I knew nothing about any inheritance."
"Oh." The five Great Sages softened their attitudes, their wariness noticeably easing.
"Of course, if there is an inheritance suited to this Sage, I would not mind trying for it." Fang Yun imitated the Sutra-Chanting Specters' habitual gesture and proudly raised his chin.
The five Great Sages' expressions remained unchanged, but the atmosphere grew more tense.
Fire Virtue Great Sage spoke. "Strength! In treasure hunting across the Myriad Worlds, there is only one rule!"
Fang Yun smiled faintly. The Bronze Ancient Book before him turned a page, and five peak Half-Sage Heaven-and-Earth Giants arrived on clouds, standing tall in midair.
The peak pyramid shot skyward with a stream of pure qi, shimmering above Fang Yun's head.
"This is half my strength." Fang Yun swept his gaze over the five Great Sages.
"Acceptable," Sun Great Sage said with a nod.
"Oh?" The other four Great Sages looked at Sun Great Sage in surprise. All four could sense that although the Sky-Swallowing Bird possessed the strongest innate gifts, Sun Great Sage was the strongest in actual power. His Great Sage Aspect had manifested earlier, taking the form of a blazing Divine Star. It was extraordinarily powerful, firmly surpassing the other four.
"I agree as well," Rock Ash Great Sage said.
The Sky-Swallowing Bird and Fire Virtue nodded lightly.
