Chapter 150 Inheritance Finally Leads to Brilliance
A burst of golden light erupted, and Fei Yu's attack arrived as expected! That dazzling pillar of light seemed to devour everything, carrying a world-destroying aura, and slammed heavily into my protective spiritual power.
With a deafening boom, I felt as if I had been struck by a mountain, my internal organs trembling violently. My protective spiritual energy shattered instantly, and the golden beam of light pierced through my body without mercy.
Intense pain instantly swept through my body; I felt as if my bones were breaking inch by inch, and my meridians were being torn apart. A mouthful of blood gushed out, staining my clothes red.
I crashed heavily to the ground, my vision blurred, my ears ringing, and I almost lost consciousness. My body felt completely drained, and I couldn't muster any strength.
"Xiao Yao!" I vaguely heard Ling Meng's anxious cry, but she was quickly stopped by the ancient immortal. "Don't interfere. This is her tribulation, and only she can overcome it on her own."
I struggled to open my eyes, and everything before me became distorted. Fei Yu's figure appeared above me, a sinister smile on his face.
“It’s over, Xiao Yao!” He looked down at me, his eyes filled with smugness and mockery. “You have lost after all.”
I wanted to argue, but I found I didn't even have the strength to speak. The spiritual energy within me was in complete disarray, almost collapsing. The shadow of death loomed over me, and I felt myself slowly sinking into oblivion.
Am I really going to die here?
No! I'm not reconciled! I haven't achieved my goal yet, I haven't become a Celestial Venerable, and I still need to protect the people I want to protect!
I gritted my teeth and tried my best to gather the remaining spiritual energy within my body. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, I will never give up!
"You... are...too happy...too early..." I squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, using all my strength.
Fei Yu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.
I struggled to raise my hand and pointed to the void behind him.
"Look...at...your...back..."
Feiyu instinctively turned around to look...
The instant Feiyu turned around, I mustered all my strength to mobilize the last bit of spiritual power in my dantian. This power was so weak that I could barely feel it, yet it was like a spark about to explode, containing immense energy. Just as Feiyu was distracted, I poured all of this power into my long-dormant secret technique—"Nirvana Rebirth."
Golden light burst forth from my shattered body, dazzling like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Fei Yu whirled around, his face filled with shock and disbelief. He clearly hadn't expected that even in my current state, I could still unleash such immense power.
Nirvana Rebirth, as the name suggests, is about being reborn from the brink of death. This secret technique is a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble, and I will never use it unless absolutely necessary. It can unleash all the potential within me, but at the same time, it will place a tremendous burden on my body.
Golden light enveloped me, repairing my shattered body and reshaping my meridians. I felt an unprecedented power surging within me, as if it were about to break through all constraints.
"This...how is this possible!" Fei Yu retreated in terror, his eyes filled with fear as he sensed the powerful aura emanating from me.
I slowly stood up, and the golden light around me gradually dissipated, revealing my unharmed body. I felt full of power, as if I could control everything.
“I told you, you’re celebrating too soon.” My voice was clear and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.
I raised my hand, and a golden beam of light shot out instantly, striking Fei Yu directly. He didn't even have time to dodge before being blasted away by the light, crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.
Silence enveloped me, broken only by the sound of my heavy breathing. I looked down at my hands, feeling the surging power within me, and an indescribable joy welled up inside me.
Just then, the figure of the ancient immortal appeared before me. He looked at me, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Congratulations, Xiao Yao, you have successfully passed all the tests." His voice was solemn and sacred. "The courage and perseverance you have shown far exceeded my expectations."
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my excited emotions.
"Thank you, senior." I bowed respectfully.
“Now, only one last ritual remains,” the ancient immortal continued. “You need to undergo the baptism of the ancient inherited power in order to truly become an inheritor.”
My heart was filled with anticipation, but also a touch of trepidation. I knew this final ceremony would not be easy.
The ancient immortal led me to an ancient altar. The altar was covered with mysterious runes and exuded an ancient and powerful aura.
"Stand in the center of the altar, relax your mind and body, and receive the baptism of the inherited power," said the ancient immortal.
I took a deep breath, walked up to the altar, and stood in the center.
A powerful force surged from the altar and enveloped me. I felt as if my body was being torn apart, and a sharp pain swept through my entire body.
"Remember, you must control your spiritual power and fight against the power of inheritance." The voice of the ancient immortal rang in my ears.
I gritted my teeth, trying to control the restless spiritual energy within my body... My hands began to tremble slightly.
The runes on the altar seemed to come alive, flashing with dazzling light, and powerful forces surged into my body like a tidal wave. This power was violent and domineering, impacting my meridians and tearing at my soul. I felt like a small boat tossed about in a storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
I gritted my teeth, struggling to control the turbulent spiritual energy within my body, fighting against this powerful inherited force. The spiritual energy within my dantian was like boiling magma, slowly enveloping the violent power under my guidance, attempting to tame it.
My body trembled violently, and my clothes were soaked with cold sweat. I felt my consciousness gradually fading, as if I were about to be swallowed up by this force.
"Xiao Yao, hang in there!" Lingmeng's voice came from afar, filled with deep worry.
I struggled to open my eyes and saw Reimu's anxious figure. Her eyes were filled with worry and expectation, which strengthened my resolve to persevere.
I took a deep breath, summoned the last bit of spiritual energy in my dantian, and channeled it into my heart meridian. This faint spiritual energy was like a thin thread connecting my body and soul, keeping me conscious.
I constantly adjusted my spiritual power to resist the power of inheritance. Sometimes it flowed like a gentle stream, slowly guiding the power of inheritance; other times it surged like a raging torrent, colliding head-on with it.
Time seemed to stand still; I felt only endless pain and torment. My body was torn apart time and time again, only to be repaired again and again. My soul struggled in agony, and was sublimated in torment.
I don't know how much time passed, but the violent power finally subsided and merged into my body. I felt as if I had been reborn, full of power.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Reimu looking at me anxiously. Her eyes were filled with tears, but there was a relieved smile on her lips.
"You succeeded, Xiao Yao." Lingmeng's voice was choked with emotion.
I stood up, feeling the surging power within me. This power was stronger than ever before, as if it could control everything in the world.
I took a deep breath and looked into the distance. I knew my journey had only just begun.
The ancient immortal walked up to me, his eyes filled with admiration. "You have done very well, Xiao Yao. You have fully mastered the power of the ancient inheritance."
He handed me an antique-looking ring. "This is a token of inheritance; it will help you better control the power of inheritance."
I took the ring and put it on my finger. A warm current instantly spread throughout my body, and I felt myself becoming more closely connected with the power of inheritance.
"Next, you need to go to the Immortal Medicine Valley to collect precious immortal herbs and refine the 'Nine-Turn Golden Pill'," the ancient immortal said. "Only by consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Pill can you completely consolidate your inherited power and reach a higher realm."
The Valley of Immortal Medicines… A vague unease crept into my heart. It was said to be fraught with danger, and even experienced cultivators dared not venture there.
I gripped the ring tightly in my hand, my eyes resolute. "I'm ready."
The ancient immortal nodded and said, "Go, child. Your destiny is in your own hands."
I turned and walked towards the Valley of Immortal Herbs. Lingmeng followed behind me, her eyes filled with worry, but she didn't say anything, just silently accompanied me.
A gust of wind blew past, making my clothes flutter. Ahead lay unknown dangers; behind me, unwavering support. I took a deep breath and quickened my pace… “Wait,” Reimu suddenly called out to me, “This is for you…” She pulled a sachet from her bosom. The pale purple silk was embroidered with delicate orchids, emitting a faint fragrance. “This is a calming sachet I made myself; perhaps it will come in handy in the Valley of Immortal Herbs.”
I took the sachet, my fingertips touching the smooth silk, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. "Thank you, Reimu."
Having bid farewell to Lingmeng and the ancient immortals, I embarked alone on the journey to the Immortal Medicine Valley. The power of inheritance flowed within me, surging and vast, seemingly containing inexhaustible energy. I clenched my fist, feeling this unprecedentedly powerful force, my heart filled with confidence. Once, I was a useless person without spiritual roots, subjected to endless ridicule and scorn; now, I have obtained an ancient inheritance, possessing the power to change my destiny! I took a deep breath, quickened my pace, eager to reach the Immortal Medicine Valley as soon as possible to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and thoroughly solidify the power of inheritance.
The journey was long and arduous; I traversed towering mountains and dense jungles, encountering numerous attacks from demonic beasts along the way. But these were no longer a threat to me. The power of inheritance granted me immense strength, and I slayed the demonic beasts with ease, as if cutting melons and vegetables. I could even feel the power of inheritance constantly nourishing my body, and my cultivation level was rapidly increasing.
Finally, I arrived at the entrance to the Immortal Medicine Valley. A rich spiritual energy wafted towards me, mixed with various exotic medicinal fragrances. A thin mist shrouded the entrance to the valley, obscuring the view inside and adding to its mystique.
I hung the sachet that Reimu had given me around my waist, took a deep breath, and stepped into the valley.
The scene before me left me in awe. All sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs bloomed in vibrant colors, a breathtaking sight. A rich, spiritual energy permeated the air, invigorating my spirit. I even saw some legendary celestial herbs, radiating a dazzling light.
However, hidden dangers lurked beneath the beautiful scenery. The valley was eerily silent; apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no other sound. I proceeded cautiously, not daring to relax for a moment.
Suddenly, I felt a chilling aura coming from behind me. I turned around abruptly, but saw nothing. Was it just my imagination? I wondered, and continued walking forward.
"rustle……"
It was that strange sound again, this time clearer, as if something was approaching me. I looked around warily, gripping my longsword tightly.
"Who's there?" I shouted.
The surroundings remained silent, with no response.
I held my breath, listening intently to the sounds around me. Suddenly, I felt the ground beneath my feet tremble slightly, and a powerful sense of pressure emanated from underground.
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly retreated. Just then, the ground suddenly split open, and a huge black shadow burst forth from the earth… “What is that…”
