The Key to the Inheritance
"The strongest?"
If a secret realm is designated as the strongest, it means that the environment of that realm is undeniably superior.
Correspondingly, there is the issue of ownership of secret locations. Everyone wants the best, which inevitably leads to competition.
Zhang Xuezhou was indeed somewhat surprised that the Yin-Yang School could win in this competition, after all, he had only witnessed the decline of the Yin-Yang School, and had never seen Yin-Yang School heyday.
"The Yin-Yang School was indeed unparalleled in its time; their ghostly and uncanny Technique Method abilities made people want to stay away!"
In the secret location, Emperor Jing shared his conjectures, and Zhang Xuezhou readily acknowledged his own school of thought, resulting in a relatively smooth exchange between the two.
Zhang Xuezhou knew some of the past events, and Emperor Jing hoped that Zhang Xuezhou, as a successor of the Yin-Yang School, could decipher them.
Flying zombies dislike the Yin-Yang Secret Realm environment, but once they condense their Yang Soul incarnation, Emperor Jing and others need a large and abundant supply of Spiritual Qi to solidify their bodies, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.
"As long as we can unravel the mysteries of this secret place, the reward will definitely be of considerable value," Emperor Jing confirmed.
"I want to know just how strong the strongest is?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
As the inheritor of the Sinkhole No. 2. Sinkhole No. 2, which is the strongest Spiritual Qi secret place Zhang Xuezhou has ever seen in his life, the Spiritual Qi is so dense that it is difficult for the human body to withstand.
He had visited many secret places, but none of them could compare to the Sinkhole No. 2. This made Zhang Xuezhou very interested in knowing the former glory of the Yin-Yang Secret Place.
"I've heard that dozens of the True Self Realm cultivators have been born in this secret land," Emperor Jing said after a long pause. "Such brilliance is something no other Sacred Land or secret land has ever possessed!"
"That doesn't sound like much!"
Zhang Xuezhou muttered something under his breath. Emperor Jing Zhang Xuezhou it difficult to retort, feeling that the other party was treating True Self Realm cultivators like dirt.
Leaving aside others, Emperor Jing also considered himself to be exceptionally talented and had the resources of the Great Han Dynasty to support him, but he never reached the True Self Realm before his death.
However, considering that Zhang Xuezhou was only a hair's breadth away from the True Self Realm and possessed strength surpassing that of Emperor Jing back then, Emperor Jing found it difficult to refute him.
Generally speaking, people with different levels of personal cultivation and strength will have different standards in their hearts.
For Emperor Jing, such a secret place was truly rare and precious; if he could obtain anything from it, it would be an extraordinary stroke of luck.
"Stop talking so much, hurry up and fix your leg and find a cheap place to go," Shi Wudao urged.
"The surrounding area is desolate, the secret realm is lifeless, with only a dilapidated palace," Zhang Xuezhou said. "This place is like a graveyard; there's absolutely nothing of value to be found here!"
There were no flowers, trees, or plants in the Yin-Yang Secret Land; the ground was as gray and white as the Daoist temple of the Lord of Mount Tai.
Aside from the impact of Spiritual Qi he felt when he first entered and exited, Zhang Xuezhou had no other special impressions of this secret place.
On the other hand, the rich Spiritual Qi accumulated in the Yin-Yang Secret Land for hundreds of years is still no match for the natural overflow of Spiritual Qi from the Sinkhole No. 2.
Zhang Xuezhou found this strongest secret realm hard to understand, and didn't know how it could be considered the strongest.
"Impossible!"
Shi Wudao cried out.
Among the four continents, the Southern Jambudvipa Continent is the place with the strongest Technique Method, the most frequent battles, and the region with the most cultural heritage.
In a sense, being the strongest in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent) means being among the world's elite.
Having finally arrived at the strongest secret realm in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent, Shi Wudao felt that this secret realm couldn't possibly be this bad.
He urged him repeatedly, and Emperor Jing had no choice but to remain silent, letting Shi Wudao run around searching.
Like an abandoned mine that has been completely depleted, this secret place is barren and desolate. When searching, one can hardly see any trace of the glory that once made it the most powerful secret place in the world.
"Even if the Yin-Yang School acquired the secret location and began to develop it, there's no need for them to turn this place into a wasteland. What kind of school of thought's tradition is that?"
After searching around in vain, Shi Wudao finally stood before the ruins of the dilapidated hall and sighed.
He quickly searched through the ruins and found nothing there.
If the Yin-Yang School had set up something to prevent outsiders from entering, Shi Wudao felt he could completely understand it, but he couldn't understand why the secret place was so desolate.
The Yin-Yang School's acquisition of the secret realm did not make it the strongest school of thought in the world; instead, it withered to the point of near extinction. This is most likely related to the fact that this secret realm had only a reputation but lacked practical use.
"Realistically speaking, don't you think it's quite impressive to turn a top-tier secret realm into a wasteland?" Emperor Jing couldn't help but ask.
"What's so great about that?" Shi Wudao retorted.
"If this secret realm is a top-tier secret realm, powerful figures from all over the world will inevitably continue to vie for it, and even the mighty Yin-Yang School cannot stop it," Emperor Jing said. "Only by turning this secret realm into ruins can we extinguish the ambitions of others!"
"That's pointless," Shi Wudao retorted. "If we all go down together, no one will benefit!"
"What if they have the means to restore it?" Emperor Jing asked.
"The school of thought is gone, how can you expect it to be restored?" Shi Wudao said. "Even if they were hiding their true abilities, they couldn't have hidden them to this extent!"
Shi Wudao believed that the Yin-Yang School had long-term plans, but he didn't believe that the Yin-Yang School could remain silent for so many years.
If it could be restored, this place would have been restored long ago.
"I don't know any recovery methods, and neither does my martial uncle!"
Upon seeing Fei Jiang's gaze fall upon him, Zhang Xuezhou quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have that ability, Jin Chang didn't have that ability either, Zou Bugui certainly didn't have that ability either.
If they had inherited the essence of the Yin-Yang School and had a top-tier secret location supporting them, Zou Bugui fallen to the point of refining pills for others, Jin Chang wouldn't have been living under someone else's roof, and Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't have been running around for so many years.
"You really don't understand?" Emperor Jing asked doubtfully.
"If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be in this state now!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand repeatedly, but Emperor Jing's doubts remained unresolved.
Without the resources and foundation of a particular school of thought, Zhang Xuezhou could still have reached his current level of cultivation. Emperor Jing was unaware that Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation aptitude far surpassed his own.
He found it hard to believe that Zhang Xuezhou had no means of concealment, but judging from the fact that the other party led them into the secret place, the other party was indeed somewhat confused, probably knowing about this secret place but never making good use of it.
"Think carefully, really think about it. What kind of treasures does your Yin-Yang School possess that you have inherited, or are there any related clues within your heritage?"
Emperor Jing repeatedly offered his guesses, while Zhang Xuezhou shook his head from time to time, indicating that he had not obtained any treasures from the Yin-Yang School, nor had he received any secret teachings from Yin-Yang School.
Zhang Xuezhou's life was almost entirely ruined by the Yin-Yang School. If he had chosen another school, he might not have reached the True Self Realm, but at least he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
Of course, Zhang Xuezhou cannot say that the Yin-Yang School is nothing, after all, his Law Power strength, depth, and control are almost top-notch, and these characteristics are closely related to Technique Method such as evasion.
Tian Fen was out of breath after flying two or three hundred miles on his Sky Shuttle, while this was only the initial flying distance for Zhang Xuezhou. There was also a huge difference between the two in their skill in controlling Law Treasure.
Sometimes it's not that Tian Fen is bad, but rather that Zhang Xuezhou has a better foundation. All these factors combined led to the two players being at completely different levels.
Although there are other influences such as demon wings and Technique Within the Clouds, Realm Technique are undoubtedly the most fundamental aspect of the differences between them.
Aside from inheriting the Realm Technique, Zhang Xuezhou didn't really gain any significant benefits from the Yin-Yang School. His alchemy and formation skills were only mediocre; they only truly excelled when combined with various real-world applications.
No, no, no!
Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly.
"Is the jade token you brought with you a heirloom? Is there any record on it?"
When Shi Wudao couldn't help but focus his gaze on the Tai-rank six-talisman in Zhang Xuezhou's hand, Zhang Xuezhou suddenly remembered the secret key of the Yin- Yin-Yang School, which had been passed down from generation to generation.
