Chapter 6349: Sequence Inheritance
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jian Wushuang was the first to arrive at the temple.
There were many details, and Jian Wushuang explained them in great detail, almost convincing himself of their truth.
Of course, it was all a lie he had fabricated. Whether the other party believed him or not, he didn’t know, but he himself had come to believe it.
In his mind, a world also appeared.
It was an ancient domain before its destruction.
The Upper Realm had 108 ancient domains.
He had heard Qianzu Saintess mention that later, 36 of these ancient domains shattered, forming countless small worlds.
The Crimson Eye Realm was one of them.
Before these 36 ancient domains collapsed, they had also been glorious.
The Heavenly Fire Domain, where Immortal Jiu Chen resided, was one of them.
At that time, the Heavenly Fire Domain was the Origin Source of the Flame Emperor.
This Origin Source was naturally innate. For the acquired to possess an Origin Source, one had to become an Emperor.
Although the Upper Realm was vast, there likely weren’t any Emperor-level figures.
Moreover, from Jiu Chen’s description, Jian Wushuang could deduce that the Flame Emperor was a divine demon.
A special life form of the fire path, born with divine flames.
At that time, besides the Flame Emperor’s Flame Dragon Palace, there was another grand palace in the Heavenly Fire Domain that was equally renowned.
“The Divine Fire Palace!”
It was the grand palace before them.
This palace had been arranged by a supreme being within the Divine Eye Clan.
“The First Sequence Legacy Hall!”
The Divine Eye legacy was divided into five major sequences.
The first sequence was the strongest.
The fifth sequence was the weakest.
However, within the Divine Eye Clan, strength was not the sole determinant.
Some had even cultivated legacies from two different sequences, and their power had surpassed those who had only inherited the first sequence.
Therefore, the initial legacy one accepted wasn’t too important; what mattered was dual cultivation.
To merge all five sequences into one was a heaven-defying feat.
However, even in the 108 ancient domains back then, those who could merge two sequences were as rare as phoenix feathers, and the merging of three sequences was merely a legend.
“Each sequence has 36 types of legacies, and the five major sequences have a total of 108 legacies. To merge other sequences, one must first complete all 36 legacies within the initial sequence. This alone has stumped countless cultivators!” Jiu Chen’s original body shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Not to mention, just the foundational legacies required for the first sequence—I haven’t encountered a single person capable of mastering them in tens of thousands of years!”
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath and nodded.
He had learned about the uniqueness of the Divine Eye legacy.
At the same time, he admired this clan greatly, and even more so the strong individual who had created the Divine Eye legacy. He wondered just how powerful that person had been.
To create such a heaven-defying legacy, they must have been at least a Universe God.
“So, you’re the true spirit of the Divine Fire Palace? Created by a powerhouse of the Divine Eye Clan back then?”
Jiu Chen nodded and said, “It seems you know quite a lot. At your level, to know this much, you must hold a high position in the Crimson Eye Realm!”
“I’m the current Dao Child. My master has told me many things!” Jian Wushuang lied without even blinking, leaving the other party stunned.
This, too, was a talent, Jian Wushuang thought to himself.
“You don’t even need to say it. If a cultivator like you, with a soul power a hundred times stronger than ordinary people, isn’t a Dao Child, then my clone must be blind!” Jiu Chen was in a good mood, but he didn’t hold back when cursing his own clone.
Jian Wushuang respectfully said, “Senior, since I’ve arrived here, shouldn’t I enter the Divine Fire Palace to receive the legacy?”
He had gathered almost all the information he needed. The only thing he was still puzzled about was why the other party wanted to break free from this palace and transform into a cultivator.
Perhaps it was due to ambition, or maybe the formation within the temple had malfunctioned, causing the True Spirit to lose its restraints.
The final reason could be that the master who established the temple had perished.
This was the most likely possibility.
The formation malfunctioned, and with the restraints gone, the True Spirit developed ambition.
But how could the first-sequence inheritance created by a supreme powerhouse possibly have issues with its formation?
Most likely, that existence had already fallen, and the soul imprint on the True Spirit had been exhausted, allowing it to break free.
The remaining true form was loyal and devoted.
The clone that left was the manifestation of that ambition.
This revealed the cunning wisdom of Qishen back then.
By splitting his consciousness to create the True Spirit, the issue of betrayal never existed.
Since he himself was the True Spirit, how could he betray himself?
Even if he fell, there was nothing to fear.
Upon hearing that Jian Wushuang intended to enter the Divine Fire Temple, Immortal Jiu Chen’s expression instantly became solemn.
“I am the True Spirit of the Divine Fire Temple. Originally, I was supposed to personally guide you in receiving the inheritance, but as you know, my spiritual consciousness is currently too weak to lead you inside. So…” Jiu Chen sighed before continuing, “However, if you nourish me with your soul power for three to five hundred years, once my spiritual consciousness has recovered, I will be able to guide you into the Divine Fire Temple!”
Three to five hundred years?
Jian Wushuang frowned. In the past, even if you added a “ten thousand” after that number, he wouldn’t have batted an eye. But now, he didn’t have time to nourish someone’s soul.
Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang were waiting for him outside!
That ancient demon posed a threat, and Jiu Chen’s clone and Li Miao’s schemes could lead to Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang’s demise.
He had little hope in Xiang Yang now. Even if he found Xingluo, the most he could do was gain some understanding of the world from him.
As for asking for help, he no longer needed it.
His main concern now was Jiang Shang.
She was Jiang Shang’s daughter.
There was no need to elaborate on who Jiang Shang would have a daughter with. When Jian Wushuang saw Hu Qing’s Dao Image, he understood.
This was Hu Qing’s bloodline.
Whether or not he found Jiang Shang wasn’t important anymore. If he could bring little Jiang Shang out, even Hu Qing bowing to him wouldn’t be too much.
He was more than willing to see Hu Qing happy and forgetting the past.
So, he couldn’t let Jiang Shang die.
Even if it meant not receiving the inheritance, he couldn’t let anything happen to Jiang Shang.
Naturally, he couldn’t agree to nourish Jiu Chen’s true form.
With some reluctance, Jian Wushuang asked, “Senior, is it only under your guidance that I can enter the Divine Fire Temple?”
“Of course. Without my guidance, entering the Temple of Inheritance is impossible, unless your strength reaches a level defying the heavens, surpassing the one who created me!” Jiu Chen’s tone was firm.
Forcing entry was possible.
But you’d have to be a level stronger than the one who originally created this Divine Fire Temple.
This was a widely accepted understanding. For example, the inheritance formation set up by a Dao Lord was nearly impossible to break for someone of the same level, unless they were a heaven-defying Dao Lord like Jian Wushuang back then.
If it were an Emperor, breaking it would be much easier.
“Senior, what level was that Eye of God clan expert who created this inheritance?” Jian Wushuang probed.
Jiu Chen squinted his eyes with pride and said, “Your talent is not bad. If you can accept the inheritance of the Divine Fire Temple, you might have a chance to transcend and even become an immortal. However, my master’s realm surpasses that of an Immortal!”
