Chapter 1269: Chapter 820: Why Was It Given to Zhang Yu?!
"Alas, I knew this kind of Immortal Inheritance... it’s all predetermined, there’s no way it’s our turn."
Seeing the Vice Minister Jiang Xunyi not far away still trying to rush inside, Qin Chuan reminded him: "Don’t try it, I think this Immortal Inheritance was predetermined. At this table, except for those chosen by the dealer, anyone who gets on will lose."
However, Jiang Xunyi resolutely said, "The Immortal Path is boundless, only gambling is the shore. A person’s life is just one bet after another."
"Now that there’s such an opportunity before me, if I don’t take a gamble, how could I achieve what I have today? If I don’t keep gambling, what chance do I have to climb to the Immortal Dao Peak?"
"The intent to gamble is the true essence of the Immortal Path that I, Jiang Xunyi, seek."
"Minister, I’m going..."
But before leaving, Jiang Xunyi suddenly stopped and said, "But before I go, there’s something I’d like to ask of you, Minister."
"Go ahead," Qin Chuan said, "Anything but borrowing money is fine."
Jiang Xunyi said, "It’s almost time to get off work, and I really can’t afford the overtime pay. I wonder if this upcoming exploration..."
Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "The upcoming exploration of the Immortal Inheritance is your personal decision; it’s unrelated to work and won’t count in your work hours."
Jiang Xunyi thought to himself, "Finally acting like a human, you stubborn brute."
"Thanks, Minister."
Having said that, Jiang Xunyi took a step forward, already with rays of Primordial Spirit entering the experimental area.
Watching the divine light emitted by Jiang Xunyi in the darkness, Qin Chuan shook his head, sighing, when suddenly his brow furrowed: "Jiang Xunyi is here, Ying Aikun is there... where is Senior Zhang?"
"Senior Zhang Yu was piloting the Immortal Shuttle; I clearly saw him ahead of us earlier, he should have arrived long ago."
"Why don’t I see his Primordial Spirit’s divine light?"
...
While cultivators were each striving to seize the Immortal Inheritance.
On the other side, after Zhang Yu entered the experimental area, he suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar space.
When he looked ahead, he saw a blood-red light shrouding a giant corpse sitting cross-legged, just less than a hundred meters in front of him, exuding wave after wave of overwhelming hatred.
Zhan Xian, looking at this scene, exclaimed: "Is this the corpse of a former Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect?"
"Did the ancestor create this Maze Realm to transform so many Frenzied Corpse Items into Cave Heaven Divine Beasts? Perhaps there’s a cultivator skilled in corpse item techniques collaborating with him. Could it be that this former Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect is the collaborator?"
"Is our ancestor... collaborating with the Sky Demon Sect?"
On the other side, Fu Ji was delighted: "We’ve reached the end just like this? Zhang Yu, it’s not easy; we finally have a day like this, predetermined even before the test... With this treatment, it seems we’ve made a name for ourselves in Kunxu."
In Fu Ji’s view, passing exams and competing for rankings through one’s own skill and talent is the lowest means.
Being able to buy answers, bribe opponents, and secure rankings with money... those are a step further, establishing some foundation.
But only being able to have things predetermined and reaching the end directly is truly having ability, truly making a name for themselves in Kunxu.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly at these words, but in the next moment, his brow furrowed deeply.
At the first sight of the corpse before him, a strong feeling welled up in Zhang Yu’s heart, or rather, the power of the [Immortal Descendant] surged with a strong desire to liberate the ancestral corpse ahead and absorb the Cave Heaven Power within.
But...
"Something’s off..." Zhang Yu carefully sensed his feelings and discovered that the Cave Heaven Power that the [Immortal Descendant] desired seemed...
"Not originating from this giant corpse, but from something within it."
"But no matter, I’ll take it all."
With his palms pressed together, Zhang Yu activated the power of "Kunlun in the Palm," intending to relocate the giant corpse and everything within it into his Immortal Cave Heaven in one go.
But with this action, Zhang Yu suddenly realized that, despite exerting himself to the fullest, he couldn’t distort the space structure where the giant corpse was located.
It was as if he were a child trying to pull out a tree with all his might, but no matter how much he exerted strength, roared, even strained his whole body until his face turned red, he couldn’t pull the tree out even an inch.
Zhang Yu’s eyes focused intently and thought to himself, "Is this a restriction intentionally left by Yingxin Heaven? To prevent someone from taking the corpse away directly?"
After pondering, Zhang Yu turned into a gust of wind and directly drilled into the giant corpse before him.
Since he couldn’t take it into his Immortal Cave Heaven entirely, he decided to venture inside to search and find the object he sensed, the one the [Immortal Descendant] yearned for intensely.
As Zhang Yu followed his instincts and the desires of the [Immortal Descendant] along the path, he finally found what he was looking for in the chest cavity of the giant corpse.
It was yet another corpse.
Zhang Yu could feel the surging Cave Heaven Power flowing within, waiting for him to claim.
He thought to himself: "So it’s a corpse within a corpse..."
"Thus, the ancestral corpse I ultimately liberate is not that of a former Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect but someone else entirely."
"That being the case... was the Sky Demon Sect Sect Master’s corpse merely a cover? Why do this?"
Looking at the unidentified corpse before him, Zhang Yu could only think of one answer: "It shows this person’s identity is extraordinary, warranting such concealment."
