59: Inheritance, then a lucky draw

After some journeying, the two finally arrived before Starfall Lake.

Standing above Starfall Lake and looking down, they saw that the ground resembled a massive crater formed by a falling meteor.

It was shaped like a fallen star, hence its name, Starfall Lake.

"Third Martial Brother, let's go into the water. The surface has been thoroughly searched; it seems the only things left are underwater now."

Lu Zifeng finished speaking, and without waiting for Dai Wuyou to react, he plunged into the water.

Dai Wuyou hadn't even reacted before he shouted out after realizing what happened.

"Junior Martial Brother, wait for me!"

However, by the time he reached underwater, Lu Zifeng was nowhere to be seen.

He became extremely anxious. If anything happened to his Junior Martial Brother, their Revered Master and Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters would surely not let him off easily.

Shifting his attention to Lu Zifeng's location.

After diving underwater, he closed his eyes and felt around carefully. He soon sensed something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved towards it.

Starfall Lake was extremely deep, and Lu Zifeng quickly submerged a thousand zhang below the surface.

An ordinary person would have suffocated long ago, but Lu Zifeng was a Core Formation expert; even at a depth of a thousand zhang, it was like entering an uninhabited Realm.

Soon, he found himself before a massive boulder.

"If I remember correctly, it should be inside this boulder."

Lu Zifeng's expression turned solemn, and he smashed the boulder in front of him with a single punch.

After shattering the boulder, a dazzling golden light emerged from within it.

He reached out and gathered the golden light into his hand. In an instant, the light melted into Lu Zifeng's body.

When Lu Zifeng opened his eyes again, he found himself inside his spiritual space.

As he looked up, he saw a massive phantom figure appearing before him.

"I am a Peak Great Saint expert. Are you willing to accept my Legacy and avenge me?"

The Great Sage expert looked at Lu Zifeng with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

Hearing that there was a requirement, Lu Zifeng's expression became slightly grave, and he asked.

"Senior, how am I supposed to avenge you?"

"It's simple. I was killed by my Dao Companion and my Elder Brother working together while attempting to break through to Saint King. You only need to avenge me after your Cultivation is successful."

Hearing this, Lu Zifeng pondered briefly and then agreed.

"Alright, Senior, I promise you. If I achieve success in Cultivation and gain the strength one day, I will certainly avenge you."

"Good. Here are the likenesses of my Elder Brother and Dao Companion. If you are fortunate enough to encounter them, avenge me then."

The Great Sage expert finished speaking, flicked a finger, and his entire being transformed into countless specks of light that poured into Lu Zifeng's mind.

Soon, Lu Zifeng's mind gained a wealth of memories, including the Great Sage expert's insights and foundation.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already refined the Peak Great Saint Legacy, and his Realm had consequently broken through to Late Core Formation Stage.

This sight stunned Dai Wuyou, who had just arrived.

"Junior Martial Brother, are you alright?"

Dai Wuyou rushed over and, after a careful inspection confirming Lu Zifeng was fine, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his Junior Martial Brother break through to Late Core Formation Stage made Dai Wuyou fall silent again.

Is this Junior Martial Brother a poet?

"Third Martial Brother, I'm fine."

Lu Zifeng waved his hand.

He did not intend to tell others about obtaining the Great Sage Legacy, as if the news got out, the Evergreen Sect might not be able to protect him.

Moreover, that Senior had two enemies at the Great Sage level; he wondered if those two had broken through to Saint King yet?

"Right, Junior Martial Brother, what was that bright light just now?"

Dai Wuyou suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.

He was attracted by that bright light, which allowed him to find his Junior Martial Brother so quickly.

"Oh, that was a Celestial Light Stone."

Lu Zifeng already had an excuse ready and took out a stone emitting a dazzling light.

Looking at the Celestial Light Stone in Lu Zifeng's hand, Dai Wuyou still held some doubts in his heart, but ultimately, trusting his Junior Martial Brother, he did not press further.

"By the way, Junior Martial Brother, since there's nothing at Starfall Lake, how about we head to Heaven Peak Mountain instead?"

Dai Wuyou hadn't found anything useful along the way, not even encountering many Yao Beasts, so the thought resurfaced in his mind.

Hearing this, Lu Zifeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Inappropriate. Heaven Peak Mountain is too dangerous, unless you, Third Martial Brother, are confident you can defeat a Spirit Infant Realm great demon."

"Therefore, my suggestion is to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and find some suitable Yao Beasts to practice against."

Now that Lu Zifeng had broken through to Late Core Formation Stage, combined with the Peak Great Saint Legacy and his past life's experience, ordinary Core Formation cultivators were no match for him, and he even had the strength to contend if he encountered a Spirit Infant Realm expert.

Hearing Lu Zifeng's words, Dai Wuyou felt helpless but still agreed.

Compared to Heaven Peak Mountain, the Star Dou Great Forest was somewhat more ordinary, but only 'somewhat,' as it still contained plenty of Heaven And Earth Treasure and Yao Beasts.

The next moment, the two headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest together.

!!!

At this moment, within the Imperial Capital.

The eight Supreme experts had already arrived at the Imperial Capital, but they did not act rashly. Instead, they concealed their auras, waiting for the Supremes from the other five Dao Domains to arrive.

Only when everyone was present and the situation was foolproof could they maximize their chances of success.

However, they had all been detected by Gu Jixiao, yet they remained unaware.

"Oh, the Domain Lords of the six Dao Domains are making a move together? This is getting a bit troublesome."

Gu Jixiao felt a slight headache and rubbed his temples vigorously.

It wasn't because he was worried about losing the fight, but because with the territory expanding so much at once, he worried about how to govern it.

"How about I kill one randomly, and the remaining five swear a Heavenly Dao Oath? They can manage it for me?"

A flash of inspiration struck Gu Jixiao, and he increasingly felt this idea was highly feasible.

The problem with having too large a territory was the lack of sufficiently powerful figures for deterrence.

He currently only had three Peak Great Emperors and ten Peak Saint Kings under him. If the territory continued to expand, he would need more powerful subordinates to help him manage it.

After thinking it through, he looked at his panel again.

His prestige value had reached a full 1.5 billion, enough for one Diamond Draw and five gold draws.

After some consideration, he silently commanded.

"System, perform five gold draws for me."

On one hand, his own strength was becoming insufficient. Mid-stage Great Saint might be enough for a normal faction, but it was not enough to satisfy him.

Furthermore, since his talent had already reached Immortal-Grade Spiritual Root, if he could draw the hundred-thousand-year cultivation from last time, he was confident he could break through to Great Emperor.

On the other hand, he lacked enough subordinates.

Even if he could force those Supremes outside to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath of allegiance, what if they refused?

Therefore, he needed to prepare for both possibilities.
