256: The remains are revealed for the first time, the Holy Lord's inheritance!

The dozen or so people below looked at each other, falling silent. For a moment, the hall became incredibly quiet, and no one dared to respond.

After a moment of silence, the Fifth Elder of Wuji Pavilion stood up and said,

“Pavilion Master, I feel this matter should be related to Danling State!”

“Danling State? What makes you say that?”

The Fifth Elder stood up and slowly said,

“Pavilion Master, as everyone knows, after I plundered the Origin of Lieyang State last time and integrated it into the Thousand Stars State’s Origin, I broke through to the Yang Shi Realm.”

“According to the rules of my Wuji Pavilion, anyone who reaches Yu Xu Ninth Layer or above will get one chance to use a Dao Grade magical artifact.”

“Sixth Elder has been at the Half-step Yang Shi Realm for a long time. Putting myself in his shoes, if I were him, I would definitely use this Dao Grade magical artifact to plunder the Origin of a state to help myself break through!”

“And among the territories governed by my Wuji Pavilion, only Danling State has not yet had its Origin plundered, so I can basically assume he went to Danling State and encountered an accident.”

Lü Chengtian pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said,

“Danling State is merely a state famous for Alchemy; its combat power has never been strong. How could it possibly pose a threat to the Sixth Elder, who possesses a Dao Grade magical artifact?”

“This doesn't make any sense.”

“This......”

The Fifth Elder was speechless for a moment...

At this moment, the First Elder said,

“Sect Master, perhaps Sixth Elder met with danger on the Devouring Demon Sea?”

“Although a Half-step Yang Shi Realm Cultivator is generally safe in the outer reaches of the Devouring Demon Sea, there’s still a very small chance of encountering some extremely terrifying sea beasts.”

“Or… Sixth Elder accidentally exposed his whereabouts, and was targeted by experts from the other three states, who then ambushed him midway!”

Lü Chengtian felt there was some truth to the First Elder's words.

He would rather believe that Elder Liu died on the Devouring Demon Sea, or was ambushed by them, than believe he died in Danling State.

“He must have been ambushed by people from the other three states! When Sixth Elder was on his way to Danling State!”

“Damn it, just when my Wuji Pavilion needed people, Sixth Elder inexplicably perished! This is truly adding insult to injury…”

Lü Chengtian sighed deeply, then slammed his hand on his seat.

“Once I find out who did this, I will surely grind him to dust!”

At this moment, the Second Elder asked,

“Pavilion Master, what exactly happened that has made all the forces in my Thousand Stars State so tense, as if they are on edge?”

“Could it be the Eastern Domain Ruins?”

Lü Chengtian looked up at the Second Elder and slowly said,

“I originally summoned you all today to discuss this matter, but then I suddenly received the news of Sixth Elder’s soul tablet shattering, which angered me for a moment.”

“Second Elder is right, this matter is indeed related to the upcoming Eastern Domain Ruins! We only recently became aware of it.”

“Originally, the Eastern Domain Ruins was a small piece of land that split off from my Eastern Domain due to a battle between two Immortals, and it floats to the south of my Thousand Stars State.”

“Because that was once the core area of the Eastern Domain, and also the core battleground of the Immortals, some Immortal Qi still remains there!”

“Immortal Qi swirling within it naturally formed certain natural Laws.”

“Therefore, due to the influence of the Laws on it, we Cultivators can only enter during a specific period of time.”

“When the Eastern Domain Ruins opened before, many Cultivators entered it precisely for that trace of Immortal Qi, and to seek those inheritances that only exist in legends!”

“But not long ago, a very drastic change suddenly occurred in the Eastern Domain Ruins!”

“That day, the entire Eastern Domain Ruins first suddenly emitted an overwhelming golden light! It shot straight into the sky! And formed several large characters on the sky curtain: ‘Saint Spirit Heart Sutra’!”

“Saint Spirit Heart Sutra?!”

The several Elders below, upon hearing this name, instantly lost their composure and cried out in astonishment!

“Isn’t that the Cultivation Technique of the Saint Lord from the legends?! Could it be that this time, the Saint Lord Inheritance is about to appear?!”

Lü Chengtian looked at the speaking Elders, and nodded slightly, saying,

“It’s highly probable! The Eastern Domain Ruins has had similar occurrences a few times before, and each time, it turned out to be related inheritances appearing!”

“So now you understand why all the forces in Thousand Stars State are on edge, right?”

The Saint Lord was an unparalleled expert from the original Eastern Domain. When the Eastern Domain had not yet split, it was truly a place teeming with experts!

At that time, the Eastern Domain was the strongest among the Five Domains of East, South, West, North, and Central. One can imagine how terrifying his strength must have been to be so renowned even in such an Eastern Domain!

But after the Eastern Domain split, all the experts from the Eastern Domain at that time vanished, and no one knew where they went.

Later generations speculated that they must have all been slaughtered by those two powerful individuals!

After all, even a renowned expert like the Saint Lord was no match for them.

But no matter what, if a supreme expert like the Saint Lord could return to the current Hundred and Eight States, he would likely be able to unify the Eastern Domain directly!

The First Elder slowly stood up and said,

“The Eastern Domain Ruins has appeared five times before! These five inheritances respectively created our Five Great Powers!”

“Now that the Sixth Inheritance is about to appear, will this Sixth Inheritance also create a sixth power?!”

Lü Chengtian slowly shook his head and said,

“Who can know that?”

“From our perspective, we naturally do not wish for the emergence of a sixth power, but inheritances of this level possess a consciousness for choosing their master.”

“Without destiny, even if one reaches the inheritance, they simply cannot obtain it! If it weren’t for this, how could our Five Great Powers open the Eastern Domain Ruins? We would have long since claimed it for ourselves!”

“So no matter what, if someone can obtain the Saint Lord Inheritance, even if they are not from my Wuji Pavilion, it is ultimately a good thing for my Thousand Stars State!”

“After all, we have not yet fulfilled our long-cherished wish of re-gathering the Heart of Origin, so we still need to strengthen the power of my Thousand Stars State as much as possible.”

The First Elder continued,

“Pavilion Master, if the Saint Lord Inheritance is seized by other states, then…”

Upon hearing the First Elder’s words, Lü Chengtian’s aura suddenly sank! He said coldly,

“This kind of inheritance must never fall into the hands of outsiders! If such a situation occurs, our Five Great Powers will join forces to eliminate this person!”

After a moment of thought, Lü Chengtian continued,

“Regarding this inheritance matter, I still need to communicate with the other Four Great Powers. You all go prepare first, I will make a trip.”

After Lü Chengtian finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the main hall.
