54: Jade Pendant Heritage

Because she had been injected with a serum, Chi Taohua was a psychic-type ability user.

She could sense neural reactions, and combined with Wu Yueyue's simplicity—whose mind held only straightforward thoughts—

Chi Taohua could instantly guess Wu Yueyue's intentions... Night fell.

Ling Xian was sleeping alone.

The mark on his right hand suddenly glowed with a faint white light, like a firefly illuminating the dark room.

As if guided by something, Ling Xian did not wake up despite the obvious change.

Instead, his mental energy and soul were pulled into a space.

The frigid winds of the far north, like countless ice blades, scraped against the spine of the Beast Bone Mountain Range before him.

The faint whistling sounds made it seem as if the world itself was constantly hammering away at its own form.

When Ling Xian opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the center of the Beast Bone Tribe.

"Where is this?" Ling Xian observed his surroundings.

He discovered that this place looked somewhat like an ancient tribe of some inheritance.

The tribe was built against a mountain, with its back to a precipice.

The entire tribe was constructed from giant beast bones, special logs, and unique stone materials.

The roof of every house was decorated with the skull of a different beast.

They were the bear, deer, tiger, ape, and crane.

It was as if they symbolized five types of inheritances.

This tribe was massive, so large that Ling Xian could not see its end at a glance.

He could faintly see other beast bones, but only the five beast skulls before him seemed to be the core.

The center of the tribe was also a circular martial arts arena built from the complete skeletons of five giant beasts.

The ground was paved with tempered rammed earth, engraved with the patterns of the five beast totems.

In the center of the arena stood a stone statue hundreds of feet tall.

Ling Xian looked up; the statue was magnificent, ancient, and majestic, seemingly the leader of this primordial tribe, yet also appearing as if it could awaken from the stone at any moment.

"To have such a sense of pressure from just a stone statue..."

"I can't imagine how terrifying the real person would be if they appeared in the world." Ling Xian marveled inwardly, having roughly guessed the situation.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an opportunity belonging to Lin Feng."

"It's because of that jade pendant..."

Ling Xian wasn't stupid; after he poured his mental energy into the jade pendant last time, it had vanished without a trace.

Now that this was happening, what else could it be but the jade pendant?

"The inheritance of an ancient powerhouse; as expected of a Child of Destiny. If I hadn't intercepted it, the potential of Lin Feng in the later stages would be unimaginable."

However, Ling Xian blinked.

The scene of the tribe changed from night to dawn.

Before the first ray of sunlight could cross the eastern peaks, a low horn blast sounded in Ling Xian's ears.

It was a morning exercise horn made from a giant bison horn; its sound was deep and long, resonating through heaven and earth, capable of reaching every corner of the tribe.

Ling Xian covered his ears, barely resisting the grand and powerful sound.

"Hiss! It's really deafening!"

But what happened next made Ling Xian lower his hands.

As the sound entered Ling Xian's ears, his entire body seemed to undergo a slight change.

"Just hearing it once, I feel the dantian in my body stirring, almost breaking through to Grandmaster uncontrollably."

"If this were to accumulate over time, the resulting changes would be unimaginably powerful."

Being able to come here, this single horn blast alone made it worth it; one could see how terrifying this inheritance was.

At this moment, Ling Xian couldn't help but envy these Children of Destiny; they were truly the darlings of heaven and earth.

Even if they fell off a cliff, there would always be opportunities like pills, secret techniques, or inheritances.

At sunrise, countless phantoms appeared before Ling Xian's eyes.

Children and adults of the tribe, clad in beast skins, gathered in the arena.

They lined up according to age and strength to begin their daily stance training.

Ling Xian observed these people's stance training.

"These are clearly just phantoms, yet they give me a sense of pressure.

So strong!"

He approached a muscular, burly man.

The man's legs were slightly bent as if hugging a tree, his arms embraced the void, and his breathing was heavy and slow.

In the next instant, the muscles all over his body trembled slightly, like a giant bear shaking off accumulated snow.

This was exactly the Bear Stance of the stance training!

Bang!

This tremor seemed to contain some kind of Dao of heaven and earth; just a phantom practicing the Bear Stance was actually able to affect Ling Xian himself.

He was even sent flying dozens of meters away.

"Fortunately, I reacted in time. Just a phantom has such power; if the real person were here, I'm afraid I'd already be dead," Ling Xian said with lingering fear as he stabilized himself and lowered his blocking arms.

Looking up again, he had arrived before a lean youth.

The youth was practicing the Deer Stance of the stance training.

He stood on one leg, his posture upright, his neck extended, gazing into the distance.

With a kick of his calf, even though he was several meters away from Ling Xian, he sent him flying.

Fortunately, it was just a phantom and had no hostility; otherwise, Ling Xian couldn't imagine the consequences.

Since returning to Donghai, he hadn't been this frustrated even when facing Lin Feng, the Child of Destiny, yet this time... it was too pathetic.

This time, when he looked up, Ling Xian was much more cautious.

But this time, he felt that the phantom of the middle-aged man practicing the stance training was looking at him.

Those eyes were like those of a true king, the king of a hundred beasts.

The Tiger Stance of the stance training!

With just one glance, Ling Xian's legs trembled, and he couldn't look directly at him.

Glancing sideways, he saw the other party lunging forward in a bow stance, hands shaped like claws, and spine tensed like a great bow, containing supreme explosive power.

With a punch thrown, Ling Xian spat blood and was sent flying.

This punch was clearly more ruthless than the previous two.

But fortunately, there was no hostility.

The fourth was a young girl in beast skins; she was on all fours but without applying weight, her body swaying flexibly as she imitated a spiritual ape, constantly demonstrating shifting and moving postures.

This was exactly the Ape Stance of the stance training!

This one was alright, not swinging or knocking Ling Xian away... After watching for a while, Ling Xian walked over to an old man not far away.

The old man was practicing the Crane Stance; he stood lightly on one foot, his arms spread like wings, and his breathing was gentle and long.

Clearly, this was the most difficult of the five stances, requiring extremely strong mental control.

Ling Xian wanted to observe other stances, but in the blink of an eye, all the phantoms vanished.

"A pity," Ling Xian could only sigh.

So many stances were equivalent to a body-refining method.

If he remembered them, even if he didn't practice them himself, he could give them to secret guards like Ling Wu for body refining.

Improving their combat power this way would certainly be no problem.

Just then, a blurred phantom appeared.

The figure slowly uttered a majestic voice: "This body-refining method was created by the first generation Beast God by observing the forms of hundreds and thousands of spiritual beasts, and has been refined and perfected over twenty-seven eras.

You may... call me the Beast King!"

A flash of light flowed into Ling Xian's mind.

In the next moment, the stances and techniques of the five beast fists appeared in Ling Xian's mind.

The Five Beasts Fist was not a simple imitation but an extraction and transformation of the essence of each beast form, turning them into body-refining and combat techniques that integrated offense and defense.

"Accept my inheritance, and you shall be my next successor.

And all you need to do is find the enemies of the Beast Bone Tribe for me."

Although the words spoken were in some ancient tribal language, as they fell into Ling Xian's ears, it was as if the world guided them to become a language he could understand.

"I can do that."

A free inheritance; Ling Xian was naturally willing to accept it.

Then, a vast amount of information flooded into Ling Xian's mind.

Among it was the Five Beasts Fist.

Besides that, there were also the Beast Soul Ritual and special methods to increase combat power through spirit bone artifacts.

"Senior, for this inheritance of yours, do you really have to play these little tricks?"
