29: No need to revive the ancestor, I will surpass the ancestor

Hearing Jiang Yuhao's resentful words, Black Old chuckled, "Heh heh, although Lin Yang is only a small Peak Martial King, he is a Saint Body Awakener, and with your Sect Master protecting him, if you dare to kill him, you will inevitably face severe punishment after you leave!"

"Moreover, compared to killing him for revenge, I have an even better idea to help you teach him a lesson!"

Jiang Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, as if he had thought of something: "Black Old, could it be that you want to... Possess him?"

"Jie jie jie ~ That's exactly it!"

When the two met, they had an agreement: Black Old would do his best to help Jiang Yuhao improve his strength, and in return, when Jiang Yuhao's strength was sufficient in the future, he would need to help Black Old find a suitable Possession target.

Now, wasn't Lin Yang an excellent target for Possession?

The Saint Body's strength could fully accommodate Black Old's powerful Soul!

Moreover, Lin Yang's own strength was only at the Martial King Realm, so it would be as easy as flipping a hand for Jiang Yuhao to capture him.

More importantly, after Lin Yang was Possessed, no one outside would know that the real Lin Yang had died, and he himself would not suffer any harm for harming a fellow disciple.

He could fulfill his agreement with Black Old, kill Lin Yang for revenge, and not suffer any punishment. What reason was there not to carry out such a beautiful plan that killed three birds with one stone?

"Good, Black Old, I will help you Possess him!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Yuhao directly agreed to assist Black Old in the Possession.

Because his goal was very grand, aiming for the Central Continent, where heroes gathered and experts were as numerous as stars in the sky. He needed Black Old's power to protect himself!

"Good kid, you value loyalty and righteousness. I really didn't misjudge you!"

Black Old excitedly licked his lips. As long as he successfully Possessed the Saint Body, his return to his Peak would be just around the corner!

The thought of being able to return to his Peak one day made even Black Old, with his state of mind, feel a bit excited at this moment.

Moreover, the Saint Body had infinite potential. After his Possession, he could continue to explore it. One day, he might even be able to advance further with this brand new body.

On the other side, feeling Jiang Yuhao's gaze suddenly become excited, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a tremor throughout his body.

What's wrong with this person?

It was fine that he wasn't sad about losing the Legacy, but why was he looking at him with a smiling face?

He wouldn't have some strange habit, would he...?

To be safe, Lin Yang decided not to chase Jiang Yuhao anymore, and just slowly kept a safe distance from him.

Anyway, no matter what Legacy appeared ahead later, as long as Aili made a move, Jiang Yuhao would surely be dumbfounded.

And after the thought of Possession took root in his mind, Jiang Yuhao's hostility towards Lin Yang also dissipated a lot invisibly.

After all, who would be hostile towards an irrelevant dead person?

At this moment, Jiang Yuhao only wanted to reach the summit quickly and obtain the strongest Legacy on the divine mountain.

And as he got closer and closer to the summit, his Fusion with Black Old became more and more unstable, and the pain of his Soul tearing apart struck his heart like ten thousand arrows.

But Jiang Yuhao, who was determined to obtain the Legacy at the highest point, ignored it, enduring the severe pain and continuing to climb.

"As long as I obtain the strongest Legacy, I will be the Saint Essence Sect's undisputed most talented person, and then naturally inherit the position of Young Sect Master of the Saint Essence Sect. Immediately after, I can rightfully enter the Holy Emperor Sect."

"Only by entering the Holy Emperor Sect will I have a Heaven-Defying chance to change my fate!"

The reason Jiang Yuhao was so insistent on obtaining the position of Young Sect Master and a spot to enter the Holy Emperor Sect in the Central Continent, besides the Central Continent being vast and rich in resources and a cradle for experts, was also related to a secret of life and death he had hidden.

This secret involved another existence in the Central Continent that was as famous as the Holy Emperor Sect, the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

The Heavenly Kingdom Sect was an unimaginably colossal entity, possessing a notorious reputation even in the Central Continent.

With just the identity of a Saint Essence Sect Daoist, Jiang Yuhao could not guarantee his safety in front of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect. Only by entering the Holy Emperor Sect and receiving its protection could he have a glimmer of hope.

Thud!

Finally, before the power provided by Black Old faded, Jiang Yuhao successfully reached the ten-thousand-foot summit as he wished.

At this time, the pressure on the summit almost surged towards Jiang Yuhao like an overwhelming tide.

Jiang Yuhao swayed like a small boat on a stormy sea, but his eyes sparkled with incomparable excitement.

"Hahaha, the strongest Legacy is mine!"

On the divine mountain, Jiang Yuhao, having achieved his wish, laughed loudly.

In front of him, a mysterious stone tablet shrouded in Chaos Qi stood.

Within this stone tablet lay the strongest Legacy from the Saint Essence Sect's Ancestral Masters throughout the ages!

"Black Old, thank you for helping me reach the summit! After I retrieve the Legacy from this stone tablet, I will help you Possess that kid down the mountain!"

Jiang Yuhao, trembling all over under the pressure, looked back at Lin Yang, who was still slowly climbing the mountain, and a cold look, like that of someone looking at a dead person, flashed in his eyes.

-----------------

Outside the Ancestral Land.

"Senior Brother Lin Yang... did he still not catch up?"

Shen Youchu looked sadly at Jiang Yuhao, who had reached the summit first in the image, her small face filled with dejection.

"Jiang Yuhao already had an advantage in his Realm, and with the Dragon Pearl's help, it was only natural that he would reach the summit before Lin Yang."

In contrast, the Elders present were much calmer and not surprised by Jiang Yuhao's early ascent.

"I just don't know which Ancestral Master's Legacy he will obtain from the stone tablet?"

Within the stone tablet at the Peak of the divine mountain lay the Saint Essence Sect's strongest Legacy.

But the strongest Legacy, though it sounded like one, was actually not one, but three!

They were the Legacy of the strongest Ancestral Master!

The Legacy of the most talented Second Ancestor!

And the Legacy of the most potential Ninth Ancestor!

The three Ancestral Masters were the three most astonishingly talented individuals in the Saint Essence Sect's tens of thousands of years, revered by later generations as the "Three Great Saint Kings," sharing the title of 'strongest'.

-----------------

Inside the Ancestral Land.

Jiang Yuhao took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a step forward, placed his palm on the stone tablet, and began to acquire the Legacy within it.

However, since it was hailed as the Saint Essence Sect's strongest Legacy, how could these three Legacies be so easy to obtain?

As time passed by minute by minute, cold sweat gradually seeped from Jiang Yuhao's forehead.

"Buzz!"

Just as he was about to exhaust his strength, the stone tablet finally stirred.

Clang!

A crisp sword cry sounded, and then a crystal sword, clear as jade, whistled out from within the stone tablet, its brilliant sword light directly cutting into the sky.

In an instant, as if the heavens had opened a crack, the vast sky was directly split in half by the sword light from that crystal sword.

"It's the Zhu Xian Sword, the Ninth Ancestor's Zhu Xian Sword!"

Outside the Ancestral Land, the Elders who witnessed this scene instantly erupted in excitement.

"Ninth Ancestor, Chen Bei!"

As one of the three strongest Ancestral Masters in the Saint Essence Sect's tens of thousands of years, his life was a legend!

During Chen Bei's era, a mysterious Forbidden Ground of life and death once appeared in the Eastern Wasteland.

It was rumored that by sacrificing enough living beings to the Forbidden Ground, one could resurrect those who had passed away.

As a result, many within the Saint Essence Sect proposed the idea of resurrecting the Ancestral Master.

But after deductions, to resurrect their Saint Essence Sect's Ancestral Master, it might require sacrificing half of the living beings in the Eastern Wasteland!

If they did that, the Saint Essence Sect would undoubtedly bear an eternal infamy.

However, even so, many Elders within the Sect still wanted to try, and even the Sect Master at the time was somewhat tempted and indecisive.

Just as the Sect was embroiled in endless debate over this, the Ninth Ancestor Chen Bei, who opposed the sacrifice, stepped forward and uttered that world-shaking famous saying that has been passed down for centuries:

"Give me time, there is no need to resurrect the Ancestral Master, I will surpass the Ancestral Master!"
