11: Chapter 11 Bai Weixi

[After leaving the inheritance hall, you and Jin Qiang continued forward.

Since you were already here, you had to see what this Ancient Inheritance was all about.]

[Before long, you arrived at the final inheritance site.

A large number of cultivators had already gathered here, with countless Golden Core Peak cultivators among them.]

[A sword stele stood in the middle of the square; just looking at it made you feel a bit breathless.

Then, an aged voice rang out again, telling you how to obtain the inheritance.]

[Trial-takers are divided into groups of a hundred. Once each group's trial begins, they will face the impact of the sword intent released by the sword stele.

The final three who remain standing will advance to the next round of the trial.]

[There are at least a thousand people on the field, yet only a few dozen will ultimately advance.

You deeply felt the terrifying nature of the Ancient Inheritance.]

[Soon it was your turn. Fortunately, you had an innate affinity for the sword and narrowly advanced to the next round in third place.]

[After the final group's trial ended, just as you were recovering, you heard that aged voice ring out again, laced with uncontrollable rage.]

[You opened your eyes to see the distant inheritance stele slowly rising, and beneath it was that female cultivator from the Human-Dragon Clan!

She held a mirror-like object in her hand, completely ignoring the voice's verbal abuse.]

[To your horror, the female cultivator from the Human-Dragon Clan rushed toward you, carrying the inheritance sword stele with her.

Before you could react to how she did it, she grabbed you and took you out of the secret realm.]

[Seeing the inheritance stolen, the others didn't even have time to recover before exiting the secret realm one by one to pursue you.]

[You didn't know how she could move that sword stele, but you didn't have time to react; you could only follow her as she fled toward the depths of the sea.]

[Fortunately, with the female cultivator's help, your speed was incredibly fast. Few of the Golden Core cultivators present could keep up with you.

Only the Golden Core geniuses from a few major forces clung to your trail.]

[To your surprise, the female cultivator directly released her Nascent Soul aura.

Her extreme speed quickly allowed her to shake off the pursuers and reach a barren island.]

[By now, you had reached the depths of the Starry Sea; any further would be the Erosion Abyss.

Gasping for breath, you asked her why she did this. It didn't matter that she stole the inheritance,

but why take you with her? You were just an innocent bystander.]

[The female cultivator wasn't angry and told you bluntly that this Ancient Inheritance requires both the Alchemy Dao and Immortal Dao inheritances to be obtained simultaneously to be truly effective.

Now, she would either kill you to take the Alchemy Dao Inheritance, or you could obediently hand it over, and she would leave your corpse intact.]

"Wait, who did I even offend?"

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and cursed every member of this Human-Dragon Clan woman's family.

He had finally obtained the Alchemy Emperor's inheritance, and now he was being forced to hand it over?

[Naturally, you were unwilling to hand it over and immediately thought of committing suicide.

Because after committing suicide, your real-world self could at least take this inheritance out, but the female cultivator spoke up again to stop you.]

[This time, she bashfully admitted that once the inheritance is obtained, others cannot get it even if they kill you.

She was just trying to scare you earlier and didn't expect you to actually try to kill yourself.]

[Hearing this, you felt more confident. Since the Alchemy Dao Inheritance was in your hands, you would commit suicide the moment she dared to make a move.]

[After a long stalemate, she finally told you with a flushed face that there was another way for her to get the inheritance while you also gained benefits.

Curious, you asked what it was. She told you that after she finished comprehending the inheritance on the sword stele, she would use the Human-Dragon Clan's secret dual cultivation method with you to combine the two inheritances.]

[You also felt a bit awkward hearing this, as you were still a virgin at twenty.

You figured it was mostly because of the Peach Blossom Luck talent, but naturally, you wouldn't refuse.]

[Anyway, you were all alone now, and dual cultivation was a rare opportunity for cultivators.

Besides, she was a genius of the Human-Dragon Clan; you could be considered to have found a powerful backer.]

[In your conversation with her, you learned her name was Bai Weixi, the daughter of the Human-Dragon Clan leader.

She was also a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius of the Human-Dragon Clan, already at the Nascent Soul stage at less than twenty-two years old.]

[She had come out this time specifically for this Ancient Inheritance. She had intended to hide her cultivation and ambush whoever among you obtained the Alchemy Dao Inheritance.

However, she didn't expect you and your protector to enter the inheritance site together.

Inside the secret realm, she could only exert the strength of a Golden Core Peak. Under Jin Qiang's protection, she could only follow you to the trial grounds.]

[Everything was within her plan. To seize the sword stele, she even used the Human-Dragon Clan's guardian artifact, the space-time mirror.

Of course, except for you, the variable.]

[You asked Bai Weixi what would happen if the Human-Dragon Clan was attacked by various forces after she stole the inheritance, but she said the Human-Dragon Clan had already become the leader of the Sea Clan.

Other forces would certainly not dare to go to war with the Sea Clan directly. Even if they knew, they could only swallow their anger. Moreover, this plan had the support of the Yin Yang Spirit Sea Garden.]

[A few nights later, Bai Weixi comprehended the sword stele inheritance.

She told you that the master of this inheritance, the Thousand Swords Sovereign, was the master of the Wanfa Daoist. After dual cultivating with her, you would also have a chance to comprehend this inheritance.]

[With a red face, Bai Weixi told you that after dual cultivating with her, you could only join the Sea Clan as a matrilocal son-in-law.

Otherwise, you would be hunted to the ends of the earth by the Sea Clan.]

[You naturally had no objection; after all, it was just in a simulation.

Moreover, in the face of the threat from the Upper Realm, there was no longer any distinction between the Sea Clan and the Human Race.]

[After a night of passion, you thoroughly felt the terrifying nature of this dual cultivation method.

With your powerful Sword Spirit Root, you comprehended part of the Thousand Swords Sovereign's inheritance, while Bai Weixi's cultivation directly stepped into the mid-Nascent Soul stage.]

[You no longer hesitated and immediately began preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage.

After comprehending the sword dao inheritance, you were confident you could break through to the Nine-Turn Golden Core!]

[You asked Bai Weixi to protect you. Although Bai Weixi was at the Nascent Soul stage, after being conquered by you, she naturally listened to your ideas.]

[However, to your surprise, your breakthrough actually triggered a Heavenly Tribulation!]

[Bai Weixi looked at the thunderclouds in the sky in shock: "How is this possible? Only breaking through a major realm above Nascent Soul will trigger a lightning tribulation, yet you are just a tiny Foundation Establishment cultivator..."]

[You guessed it might be due to the uniqueness of the Nine-Turn Golden Core or the influence of the Ancient Inheritance.]

[You resisted the Heavenly Tribulation with all your might. Although you were seriously injured, you also successfully formed your core.]

[And as you had hoped, you finally formed a Nine-Turn Golden Core!]

[Although the Nine-Turn Golden Core is difficult, it is not uncommon in these top-tier forces. However, a Nine-Turn Golden Core that could trigger a Heavenly Tribulation during the Foundation Establishment stage is probably one of a kind.]

"Finally, finally. This was way too hard..."

Chen Yuan wiped his sweat; even watching it felt difficult, his talent was just too poor.

If he hadn't happened to meet Bai Weixi, and if he hadn't happened to roll the Peach Blossom Luck talent,

this inheritance really wouldn't have been easy to get.

But now it was all worth it. Chen Yuan was also curious about what the Sea Clan was like.

[You followed Bai Weixi back to the Sea Clan's territory and became a matrilocal son-in-law.

However, because you had a Nine-Turn Golden Core, you were still welcomed by the Sea Clan.]

[But many young people showed hostility toward you because Bai Weixi was like a goddess in the Sea Clan.

To think she was arched by a tiny human like you; they wished they could kill you.]

[Two months later, while you were in seclusion, a blood-red figure appeared before you.]

[You died! You were 20 years old.]

[Beginning the settlement of this simulation, you can choose two items from the following rewards!]

[1. Golden Core Level 1 cultivation (Nine-Turn Golden Core)]

[2. Tier 3 Peak Alchemist experience]

[3. Ancient Inheritance (Alchemy Dao and Immortal Dao inheritances)]

[4. Peach Blossom Luck (1-star talent)]

[5. This simulation's experience (in the form of memories)]

"Wait? How did I die??"

Chen Yuan hadn't reacted yet; hadn't he joined the Sea Clan?

Why did he die so inexplicably?"
