Chapter 357 - 364: There is Another Heritage! (Fourth Update)
“Yang Zhen? Yang Zhen?”
Mo Xueling’s voice echoed in his ears, and in a haze, Yang Zhen jerked back to consciousness.
With a soft thud, Medicine Madman’s body collapsed to the ground, scattering a pile of bones, and even the lingering breath on his body disappeared completely.
“Yang Zhen, are you okay?” Mo Xueling looked curiously at Yang Zhen, her face mixed with bewilderment.
“I’m fine!” Yang Zhen shook his head, bending over to gather Medicine Madman’s body together. He moved it to a cliff edge, dug a pit with the Great Missing Sword, and buried it.
“In death, we find peace. Old man, you’re lucky to have this Sao Saint’s undying brilliance wait for you.”
Boom !
A terrified wave of fire spawned, and Yang Zhen casually waved. The Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire shaped a medium-sized stele on the cliff side, which stood in front of Medicine Madman’s grave as Yang Zhen etched his name on it.
Upon Yang Zhen’s completion, a wave of energy dramatically flew out to all directions with a hum, revitalizing the surrounding vegetation.
Mo Xueling and others looked at Yang Zhen in astonishment as he effortlessly set a magic formation around the area, using heaven and earth as pillars, True Essence as the source, enhancing the vitality of the plants around, making it flourish endlessly.
Such a divine craftsmanship left the crowd in awe.
“What exactly happened?” Mo Xueling curiously asked Yang Zhen, “Did you inherit Medicine Madman’s legacy?”
Yang Zhen nodded, a strange look on his face, replying, “This Medicine Madman… he really was an eccentric fellow.”
Reason why Medicine Madman was called as such, was because he did whatever he fancied, sometimes risking his life to prove his theories.
Yang Zhen didn’t know much about his personality, but he could feel that Medicine Madman’s attainment in alchemy was unmatched. His inheritance allowed Yang Zhen to make great leaps and bounds in his understanding of alchemy.
In disbelief and admiration, Mo Xueling stared at Yang Zhen and asked, “Do you know why he came to the Forbidden Land of Life, and why he came here? Was it for the Shanggeng Secret Clan’s inheritance?”
Yang Zhen shook his head, saying, “Not sure. The inheritance didn’t mention this. But I don’t think Medicine Madman’s purpose was to find the Shanggeng Secret Clan’s inheritance; his meeting with the Sinful Clan’s people was probably a coincidence.”
“How would you know that?” Mo Xueling asked, looking blankly at Yang Zhen. “If it wasn’t for the Shanggeng Secret Clan’s inheritance, why would Medicine Madman come here?”
The bloodline in the form of a translucent, crimson liquid, floating on top of a massive stone pool held the Sinful Clan’s inheritance not far from here.
After asking her question, Mo Xueling seemed to have an epiphany and shook her head, saying, “No, if Medicine Madman were here for the Sinful Clan’s inheritance, it would not still be here, and Medicine Madman would not have perished here, either.”
Hua Youyue, who had remained silent by Yang Zhen’s side, finally spoke, her voice gentle, “‘There’s another inheritance here, and it’s more potent.”
Startled by the revelation, Mo Xueling looked around and asked, “Another inheritance?”
Yang Zhen glanced at Hua Youyue, taken aback, then confirmed, “Yes, there indeed is another inheritance here!”
Yang Zhen turned to Hua Youyue and asked, “Little girl, why don’t you tell us what kind of inheritance it is?”
Hua Youyue gave Yang Zhen a long, thoughtful glance before replying, “Stop testing me. At present, I don’t know anything. I only sense an incredibly powerful aura around here, but I don’t know its exact location or what sort of inheritance it is. All I feel is something profound reverberating in my heart and… this inheritance… should be much more powerful than the Shanggeng Secret Clan’s inheritance.”
Yang Zhen sighed, his eyes filled with curiosity as he stared at Hua Youyue.
If not for Medicine Madman’s inheritance, he wouldn’t have sensed the location of the other inheritance. It was only after he received Medicine Madman’s legacy did he feel the presence of another force.
However, the fact that Hua Youyue felt the other inheritance the moment she arrived, despite staying in the same place without saying a word or moving an inch, took Yang Zhen by surprise.
Hua Youyue’s face suggested nothing but bewilderment, a sensation that became increasingly intense since she entered the Forbidden Land of Life. Yang Zhen silently moved to the spot where Medicine Madman met his end. He copied the Medicine Madman’s strange posture and closed his eyes. No sooner had he done this than a deafening roar exploded in his mind, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Hua Youyue and the others were startled, hurriedly rushing to Yang Zhen’s side, looking at him with shock and uncertainty.
“No one move!” Sao Saint stared at Yang Zhen, exclaiming in confusion: “Let me think, I’ve seen this pose before, but why can’t I remember it?”
Sao Saint, the damn fool always screwed up at crucial moments. Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling had no intention of relying on him either and kept their nervous gazes on Yang Zhen.
Even a character like Medicine Madman had died here without touching the Sinful Clan’s heritage. Would Yang Zhen be in danger if he followed in Medicine Madman’s footsteps?
The big rooster nearby had been standing in the same position for a long time, its gaze falling on Sao Saint while circling around Yang Zhen for quite a long time, before suddenly saying: “Forbidden Skill!”
Upon hearing this name, Sao Saint shrieked, jumping up to three feet high, staring fixedly at Yang Zhen and saying: “Kid, you’re crazy, how dare you consider a Forbidden Skill?”
Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling were both profoundly shocked, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief, particularly Hua Youyue, whose face turned deathly pale, about to reach out to pull Yang Zhen.
Rumble??? !
The entire world seemed to boil violently, with lands collapsing, huge waves rolling, and endless power, seemingly as relentless as the heavenly might, visible to the naked eye, rapidly shrinking and gathering onto Yang Zhen.
Before everyone could react, the whole world had completely changed.
The lush plants were gone, the sky and earth darkened to chaos, even the stone pool carrying the Sinful Clan’s heritage made a loud noise, nearly collapsing.
“Damn it, kid, what did you do?” Sao Saint swooshed onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder, “You destroyed this mini world?”
Rumble??? !
The horrifying sound was deafening, waves of sounds like tidal waves surged from all directions.
Yang Zhen got up, pulling Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling along as he made his way out, saying, “Destroyed my ass, I just collected something. Hurry, this place is going to collapse.”
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion came from the tunnel where they had entered, violent waves welled in, rolling like tides, deafening.
Mo Xueling’s face changed drastically, exclaiming, “Not good, the restrictions here have been destroyed by you, wouldn’t that allow the sea monkeys to enter…run!”
Countless sea monkeys squeezed into the tunnel, rushing toward Yang Zhen and the others.
All the people, including the big rooster and Sao Saint, changed their faces.
In such a hellish place, encountering these sea monkeys, there was simply nowhere to run, and they were exhausted to death.
Sao Saint clutched Yang Zhen’s head, shouting loudly, “Kid, hurry, what did you just collect, bring it out now.”
Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up, his gaze fixed on the sea monkeys that covered the sky and earth, he snorted coldly, “Scram!”
Buzz !
An invisible wave surged from Yang Zhen’s body in all directions, visible to the naked eye, crushing everything in its path.
The ferocious-looking sea monkeys trembled violently, suddenly wailed, and turned to run.
“What the hell, so dope?” Yang Zhen dumbfoundedly watched the fleeing sea monkeys, his face full of confusion.
“What…what did you collect?” Mo Xueling asked subconsciously, her face stunned..
