Chapter 418: Ancient Mountain Inheritance!

The God Bone possessor with the surname Chu comes from Wangcheng, and his status is noble.

The Lin Chao before his eyes, who displayed Legendary-level strength, though it surprised him, did not make him afraid.

In the Ancient Tang Empire, two-thirds of the powerhouses are gathered in the Royal Capital.

Within the family of the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu, there is more than one Legendary.

"My father is Chu Renli..."

The God Bone possessor with the surname Chu was still introducing himself.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words of the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu, the God Bone possessors present all revealed expressions of astonishment or awe in their eyes, clearly knowing who the father of the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu was.

However, Lin Chao's gaze shifted slightly, or rather, he had not taken the words of the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu to heart.

He felt a trace of hidden killing intent on this person.

That was enough.

He dared to even slay gods; would he be afraid of a mere God Bone possessor?

Under circumstances no one expected, Lin Chao struck directly, giving the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu no time to react at all.

In just a single breath's time, the body of the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu fractured, the expression on his eyes frozen, clearly having not yet reacted.

Lin Chao casually Slayed the God Bone possessor with the surname Chu and clapped his hands: "Alright, the annoying little bug has been dealt with.

Everyone... continue."

The crowd looked at Lin Chao, some showing fear, others stunned.

Xue Yang was also somewhat surprised.

He had not expected that the person he had casually saved back then would possess such strength.

"Xue Yang thanks you for your life-saving grace, Excellency. If the Chu family pursues this in the future, Xue Yang is willing to face it together with you." A look of gratitude appeared on Xue Yang's face.

Lin Chao waved his hand: "If we are talking about gratitude, it is I who should be expressing gratitude to you."

Beside them, Yuwen Kang looked at Lin Chao, sighing inwardly: "Brother Lin, you truly are full of surprises."

And at this moment, among the crowd of God Bone possessors, a middle-aged man stood out.

This middle-aged man was precisely the one Lin Chao had seen in the restaurant.

The middle-aged man walked toward Lin Chao and bowed slowly: "I, Ye Shu, greet you, Excellency.

Your strength, Excellency, should already have surpassed Legendary.

The Ancient God Temple of today has frequent strange occurrences; almost all the Temples have been emptied by someone.

Only the Ancient Mountain Palace remains safe and sound.

With the other Temples emptied, we God Bone possessors present might return empty-handed after entering the Ancient God Temple this time.

Your God Bone is peculiar, Excellency, and likely does not resonate with the Ancient Mountain Palace, so you probably will not have any gains either."

What Ye Shu said was the truth.

Only if the God Bone possessed by a God Bone possessor resonates with the Ancient God Temple can there be great gains.

Of the dozen or so God Bone possessors who came here, if the Ancient God Temple had not undergone changes, everyone would have had significant gains.

But now, only the Ancient Mountain Palace remains, and it will become difficult for the other God Bone possessors to have any gains.

"I am willing to cooperate with you, Excellency, to obtain the gains from the Ancient Mountain Palace together." Ye Shu spoke, his words sincere.

Seeing this, the other God Bone possessors also stepped forward one after another: "I am willing to cooperate with you, Excellency."

Lin Chao swept a glance at the few of them, his gaze calm.

He did not blame them for not having stepped in to help just now.

This world is just that realistic; most people are unable to repay kindness.

Therefore, people like Xue Yang are rare and commendable.

Ye Shu continued: "Now that the other Temples have undergone changes, if we wish to obtain gains in the Ancient Mountain Palace, it is best if one person can attempt to obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace.

Even if it does not succeed, triggering the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace will suffice.

Once the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace is triggered, we God Bone possessors present will, at the very least, obtain a God Skill."

This was Ye Shu's true purpose.

He did not believe Lin Chao could obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace.

His goal was for Lin Chao to be able to trigger the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace with the help of all of them.

The moment the inheritance opens, they will all enter.

In that case, every one of them will have rich gains.

Of course, wanting to activate the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace is not that simple.

First, one needs a person whose God Bone resonates with the Ancient Mountain Palace, and second, one must satisfy some hidden conditions of the Ancient Mountain Palace.

For example, to activate the inheritance of the Ancient Mountain Palace, one needs a powerful individual to defeat an ancient puppet.

However, the ancient puppet of the Ancient Mountain Palace is, in terms of strength, at the peak of Legendary.

To defeat it, at least Legendary strength is required.

Ye Shu explained these conditions to Lin Chao.

Lin Chao became interested.

But more so, he was curious about that Legendary Puppet.

However, he still had some doubts: "This matter can be a cooperation.

But I have one more question: does Your Excellency know why the gains in the other Ancient God Treasure Halls have all disappeared?"

Hearing this, a look of contemplation flashed in Ye Shu's eyes, and he then said: "Actually... although God Bone possessors are the people closest to the Ancient God Treasure Halls.

But the Ancient God Treasure Halls are mysterious and unpredictable, and changes we cannot understand often occur.

For example, someone once entered an Ancient God Temple, and the Ancient God Temple collapsed with a boom."

Someone once saw the Ancient God Treasure Hall take flight.

In the last thousand years, such strange occurrences have become increasingly frequent.

It is said that the Heavenly Court also dispatched experts to enter the Ancient God Temple, but they discovered nothing.

It is also possible that they discovered something, but we have no right to know.

Therefore, we have no way of knowing, and no need to know, what happened in the Ancient God Temple.

It is better to secure the benefits first, then leave the Ancient God Temple, and report the matters here to the imperial court; the Heavenly Court will send people to investigate."

Hearing this, Lin Chao pondered for a moment.

He could sense that this Ye Shu was concealing something.

But he did not pay it any mind.

If there were any conspiracy, he would simply break it with force.

"Since that is the case, let us go and activate the Ancient Mountain Inheritance."

Lin Chao spoke; among the God Bone holders present, some were eager to try, while others chose to leave.

After all, Lin Chao had Slayed two God Bone holders, and his strength was so formidable.

They did not trust Lin Chao.

Immediately, three God Bone holders pondered for a while and chose to leave.

Lin Chao did not stop these people.

Xue Yang, who was in the crowd, had already obtained the Ancient Mountain God Soul and had already made gains, so he could have left.

However, he still remained: "I have come to lend everyone a helping hand."

He possessed the Ancient Mountain God Soul, making it easier to activate the Ancient Mountain Inheritance.

He did this mainly to repay Lin Chao's kindness.

Hearing Xue Yang's words, many of the other God Bone holders present had their expressions change slightly, feeling ashamed in their hearts.

Previously, when Xue Yang was in difficulty, they had stood by and watched, gloating over his misfortune.

Of course, more people accepted it with a clear conscience.

On the other side, the three God Bone holders chose to leave, and their figures vanished.

They walked separately, returning along the same path through the Mist Forest.

Suddenly, however, a large hand reached out from the mist and crushed one of the God Bone holders to death.

The remaining two God Bone holders had no time to react before they were also grabbed by the large hand in the mist, dying without a sound.

The Mist Forest instantly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, inside the Ancient Mountain Palace, the group finally arrived at the deepest part of the Ancient Mountain Palace, which was the place where the Legendary Puppet was located.

As far as the eye could see, there was a stone Gate.

The stone Gate was ancient and simple, covered in moss, and seemed to have some years on it; on the stone Gate was a plaque inscribed with the two characters "Ancient Mountain".

"The Legendary Puppet is inside; to activate the Legendary Ancient Mountain Inheritance, one must defeat the Legendary Puppet." Ye Shu stood in front, his gaze flickering.

Lin Chao swept his gaze over the stone Gate, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"Everyone be careful, it seems someone has been here." Although this Gate looked as if it had not been opened for many years, Lin Chao still sensed something on it.

Beside him, a God Bone holder immediately chuckled: "With so many of us together, what is there to fear?"

Ye Shu was pondering something, then asked: "Did Brother Lin perceive something?"

"About a month ago, someone should have been here." Lin Chao stated his judgment.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people on the scene laughed: "Brother Lin must have sensed it wrong.

When the Ancient God Temple is not open, no one can enter; even if those people from the Heavenly Court come, they cannot enter.

This Ancient God Temple was last opened ten years ago.

After the Ancient God Temple closes, if anyone has not left, they will surely die!

Therefore, every time the Ancient God Temple is about to close, all God Bone holders must leave quickly."

Ye Shu was also thoughtful: "Regardless of when, it is always good to be more vigilant.

We might as well go in and take a look."

The stone Gate opened at this moment.

The crowd entered and immediately felt a sense of killing intent.

"Where is the Legendary Puppet?" Upon entering, Lin Chao did not see the expected Legendary Puppet.

Ye Shu was also somewhat surprised: "Where is the puppet?"

Behind the stone Gate, it was empty.

"Look quickly, what is that?" At this time, someone made a sound, pointing to the corner.

The crowd immediately looked over, and upon seeing that object, everyone present revealed a look of shock.

"Puppet Fragment!"

"The Legendary Puppet here was smashed by someone?"

"What is going on?"

The people present were shocked beyond measure and also became vigilant one after another.

That was a Legendary-level puppet, yet it had been violently smashed like this; everyone present felt a sense of crisis.

"Everyone be careful, it is possible that, as Brother Lin said, someone has come here." Ye Shu reminded them.

Those who had previously distrusted Lin Chao now changed their expressions and became cautious.

Ye Shu also looked at the puppet and examined it carefully.

Lin Chao, however, was somewhat disappointed; the Legendary Puppet was shattered, and shattered quite thoroughly—if he wanted to figure out the principle, it would be better to create one himself.

The people present were trembling with fear, all sensing a feeling of crisis.

"Should we... leave?

Report what happened here to the Heavenly Court!" one with a God Bone said, feeling fear in their heart.

They felt that things had exceeded their expectations.

"I also think it's better to leave; if the benefits are gone, we can come back, but..." many others agreed with leaving, as they already had thoughts of retreating.

However, Ye Shu looked at Lin Chao at this moment: "What is Brother Lin's opinion?"

Lin Chao was the strongest person present, and being by his side provided a greater sense of security.

Lin Chao looked around: "The Legendary Puppet is dead; has the inheritance here not been activated?"

"No, perhaps... the person who Slayed the puppet cannot activate the Ancient Mountain Inheritance."

"Within the Ancient Mountain Inheritance, is there a technique for creating Legendary Puppets?" Lin Chao asked slowly.

"There is." At this moment, the silent Xue Yang spoke up, "The Ancient Mountain God knew some puppet-making techniques, but was not Proficient in them.

Among the God Skills, there is one related to puppet making, called the Wood Stone Technique."

Hearing this, Lin Chao smiled: "I think it is better to obtain the Ancient Mountain God's inheritance first."

The God Bone holders present had varying expressions.

Ye Shu stepped forward: "I agree with Brother Lin.

If there is danger, there is no difference between leaving now or leaving later.

If there is no danger, it is the same; it is better to take the Ancient Mountain God inheritance before leaving."

Ye Shu dispelled the hesitation of those present.

Ye Shu was right; if the danger still existed, it must be watching them from the shadows.

They would encounter it whenever they chose to leave.

"The Legendary Puppet is dead; how do we activate the Ancient Mountain God inheritance?" Lin Chao asked.

He was not interested in the Ancient Mountain Inheritance; he just wanted to obtain the puppet-making technique.

If only there were a way to make God-level puppets, that would be even better.

"The Legendary Puppet has been destroyed, and our biggest trouble has been resolved. We only need a God Bone holder who has undergone Awakening of the Ancient Mountain God Soul to guide it, and the Ancient Mountain Inheritance can be activated. We all have a chance to enter and gain benefits." Ye Shu looked at Xue Yang.

Currently, only Xue Yang could open the Ancient Mountain Inheritance.

The others felt the same, and were somewhat excited.

Although they were not compatible with the Ancient Mountain Palace, the probability of obtaining the Ancient Mountain Inheritance was close to 0.

But what if they were the Child of Destiny?

And obtained the Ancient Mountain Inheritance?

Of course, they also understood that among those present, probably no one could obtain the complete Ancient Mountain Inheritance.

Xue Yang walked forward and said: "Everyone, please wait a moment, I will activate the Ancient Mountain Inheritance."

He walked forward and placed his hand on the wall.

A phantom of a Divine Soul emanated from Xue Yang; it was a flawless stone, crystal clear, without any defects.

Following Xue Yang's guidance, a light Gate appeared in everyone's line of sight.

The people present were all incomparably excited.

"The Ancient Mountain Inheritance has been activated. The light Gate can only last for thirty breaths; everyone, hurry in."

After Ye Shu finished speaking, the people present quickly entered the light Gate.

Lin Chao looked at the crowd: "I will go in last."

He wanted to see who was playing tricks.

Hearing Lin Chao's words, the others entered the light Gate one after another.

Within the Ancient God inheritance, even if they could not get the Ancient Mountain Inheritance, it would be no problem to get some benefits.

Yuwen Kang felt a sense of warmth: "Brother Lin, I will go in first."

After speaking, the others quickly entered the light Gate.

Only Lin Chao remained here, but it was still empty; no one appeared.

Lin Chao was somewhat disappointed, and the light Gate before him was about to close. At the last moment, Lin Chao entered the light Gate.

The light Gate closed at this moment, and then a figure appeared, a smile on his face.

"The final inheritance... I hope you are not so useless and can help me obtain it."

The figure said, and his form disappeared again.

At the same time, Lin Chao scanned his surroundings.

The figures of those God Bone holders had all disappeared.

In front of him were many light shadows.

Lin Chao knew that these light shadows belonged to the Ancient Mountain Inheritance.

To obtain the Ancient Mountain Inheritance, one needed to comprehend these light shadows.

These light shadows encompassed almost everything the Ancient Mountain God was Proficient in.

Of course, it was the basic version.

To obtain the Ancient Mountain Inheritance, one needed to have some insight into all of these things.

Therefore, these God Bone holders all felt it was impossible to obtain the Ancient Mountain Inheritance.

After all, although the Ancient Mountain God did not rank high among the many Ancient Gods, the inheritance was one of the most difficult to obtain.

Because what the Ancient Mountain God learned... was very miscellaneous.

Lin Chao's gaze fell on a cluster of light shadows, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes: "The Ancient Puppet Making Method?"
