Chapter 1262 - 89: The Blank Inheritance Pillar
Passing through the white mist of the valley, Yun Sheng and the three others finally entered the Ancient Sealing.
At the moment of stepping into the Ancient Sealing, Yun Sheng felt her eyelids twitch heavily, and a sense of foreboding surged up from the soles of her feet.
There was always a feeling that something was abnormal about this Ancient Sealing.
"Perhaps I’m being overly suspicious. With Boss Peng Yu here, there shouldn’t be any mistakes," Yun Sheng steadied her emotions.
Yun Sheng was different from the others. Although they had the fewest numbers, in their camp, Boss Peng Yu had already disguised himself.
The Pengyu Three Demons had once entered the Ancient Sealing. Although they were eventually forced to withdraw, they still managed to escape successfully.
This also means that after Yun Sheng and the others enter the Ancient Sealing this time, their chances of escaping from the sealing are much higher.
"So many Inheritance Pillars!" Other tribes, including Hu Linglong and others, who entered the Ancient Sealing ahead of Yun Sheng and her group, exclaimed in delight.
Unlike the narrow entrance of the valley, the terrain became much broader after entering the valley.
Many Inheritance Pillars were embedded along the spacious valley path.
For most of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan on the continent, apart from a few noblemen and direct bloodlines of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, very few people could directly touch the Inheritance Pillar.
No wonder everyone was cheering.
"Yun Sheng, look, there are Inheritance Pillars here too."
Not far from Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang, there were two or three Inheritance Pillars. This was also Yun Sheng’s first time seeing a real Inheritance Pillar. Previously, she had either relied on her own understanding or copied down the inheritance to learn the Sky Fox Inheritance.
The Inheritance Pillars, carved as if from ivory, each one was as white as jade.
Each Inheritance Pillar signifies the sacrifice of an Ancient Eight Desolate Beast Descendant. Only on the verge of death would those from the Eight Desolate Beast Clan condense their cultivation into an everlasting Inheritance Pillar.
Even someone as indifferent as Lu Yunshuang couldn’t help but feel her soul waver upon witnessing the hard work left by these ancestors.
"Don’t celebrate too soon, this is just the outermost part of the sealing, and these Inheritance Pillars are the lowest grade. Most of the inheritance recorded on them has already become ineffective," said Boss Peng Yu, who had come to this area before.
When the Pengyu Three Demons entered the valley, they were also delighted for a while.
But as they looked more closely, disappointment replaced their joy.
Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang stepped forward to discover the Inheritance Pillars were blank.
"It’s a pity. It’s been too long, and the Inheritance Power on the Inheritance Pillars has also dissipated," Lu Yunshuang lamented.
"Ladies, I need to remind you, until you find the Inheritance Pillar that’s most suitable for you, even if you find a pillar that still has power, don’t touch it lightly. Otherwise, if you rashly touch the Inheritance Pillar and are forced to learn the inheritance causing your capacity for inheritance to become full, you won’t be able to comprehend higher level inheritance, leading to more loss than gain," cautioned Boss Peng Yu, who had the most experience among the three.
He knew the most about Inheritance Pillars.
He told Yun Sheng and the others that different Eight Desolate Beast Clans left behind different Inheritance Pillars.
For example, the Inheritance Pillars of the Sky Fox Tribe mostly have the Heavenly Fox emblem engraved on them.
Other Beast Clans are the same.
Since each Eight Desolate Beast Clan has limited personal inheritance they can acquire, Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang can only choose the most suitable Inheritance Pillar to absorb.
"I can still absorb two inheritances." Lu Yunshuang, a Five-tailed Heavenly Fox, had already comprehended three inheritances.
"I can also still absorb two inheritances. It seems we can only go deeper and decide then," Yun Sheng, having comprehended four inheritances, understood after witnessing Yu Shang’s special inheritance of "Shifting Flower and Wood" that when choosing an inheritance, one shouldn’t blindly seek quantity but must combine one’s own strength to choose the strongest inheritance that one’s ability can withstand.
As Boss Peng Yu said, the stronger the inheritance, the deeper within the Ancient Sealing it is, and now is not the time for joy.
"Ugh, what a rip-off! They’re all blank! Isn’t this just a false joy?" A Pengyu Clan warrior, filled with joy upon finding an Inheritance Pillar, was annoyed to find it blank when he walked up to it, and punched the Inheritance Pillar in frustration.
With that punch, the Inheritance Pillar cracked in response.
As stone chips flew, a wisp of blue smoke floated out from the Inheritance Pillar.
The blue smoke formed into a blue-faced, fanged War Evil, holding a bloodied battle axe, standing over two meters tall, clearly a War Evil from the Bimong Clan.
The Inheritance Pillars were left by the ancient ancestors of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan. Each one is like an ancestor of the Eight Desolates and should be revered. This Pengyu Clan warrior’s rash desecration of the Inheritance Pillar drew the War Evil.
The War Evil was full of Evil Qi, swinging the menacing giant axe, striking the Pengyu warrior, and blood splattered on the spot.
"Woo—woo—not knowing your place, daring to disrespect the ancient power, kill!" The War Evil tasted blood, releasing a howl like a wolf or tiger.
With its howl, the originally blank Inheritance Pillars cracked in response, and from each pillar emerged War Evils of different Eight Desolate Beast Clans, including Bimong, Pengyu, and Ba Snake.
All at once, a large number of War Evils appeared in the previously empty valley. These War Evils transformed into beast forms and attacked fiercely, killing many Beast Clan warriors in an instant.
"Not good! We must leave quickly!" Boss Peng Yu shouted, and Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang also realized the precarious situation.
These War Evils, transformed from Inheritance Pillars, had strong power and large numbers. If they launched an encirclement, no matter how skilled one was, escape would be impossible.
"Silver Roc, see what your subordinate has done." Rita, also infuriated, led a group of Bimong warriors into the midst of the War Evils, desperately fighting to carve out a bloody path.
Boss Peng Yu, having visited the Ancient Sealing, was more familiar with the paths in the valley. He led Yun Sheng and the others swiftly away from the scene, but just then, Yun Sheng heard a Magic Wave behind her.
Yu Shang, leading a group of Sky Fox Tribe candidates for the Holy Daughter, was almost parallel to them, also withdrawing to the safe area.
Why? Why was she so familiar with the terrain here?
Yun Sheng couldn’t help but wonder. It was unsurprising for Boss Peng Yu to know the paths having been here before, but why could Yu Shang also skillfully find the route?
"That area up ahead is safe, follow me," Yu Shang also gave Yun Sheng and the others a peculiar look but had no time to worry about them with the urgent situation.
