Chapter 680: Massive Primeval Inheritances! 【7 more】

Xiao Feng continued searching inside the imperial palace.

There are too many palace rooms here; big and small buildings and houses together amount to at least three or four thousand.

He had already ignored the low huts where servants lived, but it was still troublesome.

In the blink of an eye, more than four hours passed, and he found another three inheritances.

Just looking at the names and the rank of the palaces they're in, they're not high, and their compatibility is below 60%, failing the passing line.

The owners of these inheritances are all skeletons; they can't even keep their Li Ti from decaying.

Therefore Xiao Feng didn't choose any of them.

However, these three inheritances did give him a heads-up.

Because they aren't all in the form of books; one of them, called the Growth Secret Art inheritance, uses a potted plant as its carrier.

That potted plant shows no attributes, but it emits a mysterious aura; it's likely of quality above supreme divine artifacts, possibly even a Lord Divine Artifact!

If it weren't that only one inheritance can be taken, Xiao Feng really would want to take it and give it a try!

At the fifth hour of being in this palace, Xiao Feng received a message from He Er Na.

He Er Na said: "Master, I also encountered an inheritance; it's in a stronghold, likely a set of sword techniques, but its aura isn't strong."

This discovery made Xiao Feng think for a moment.

Originally he was a bit worried that NPCs couldn't obtain the inheritances here, but now it seems unnecessary worry.

He Er Na also has the qualification to obtain inheritances, but she lacks system assistance, so she can't know the name of the inheritance she encounters, nor see its compatibility level.

Xiao Feng replied: "Let's leave it for now; we'll try to find the highest-quality inheritance so we don't miss this opportunity."

"Um, I'll keep looking; behind this stronghold there's a city, which might be where the master is located." He Er Na said.

"It would be best if you could come over; we'll search together, and if we encounter an unclear inheritance, I can also tell you what it is."

The two are far apart, which remains somewhat troublesome.

If they could explore together, it would be much more convenient.

While talking, Xiao Feng came near a relatively large hall.

At the hall's entrance stood skeletal guards wearing guard armor, but the guard wasn't strict; apparently they were just on routine duty, not protecting anyone.

Xiao Feng pushed open the door, and what met his eyes were countless bookshelves, plus a few rotted screens, desks, and other indoor furnishings.

Judging by the luxurious interior layout, it's definitely the emperor's

exclusive place.

So many bookshelves show that this is indeed the emperor's imperial study!

"What a great place."

As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.

There are so many books here!

The imperial study is where the emperor reads and stores books; the books he likes are all placed here.

Although the collection isn't as large as the imperial library's, the quality is definitely not lacking; there certainly are many inheritance books here!

Xiao Feng walked into the hall and immediately headed for the nearest bookshelf.

Many books are on the shelf, but most are covered in dust, seeming rotten; a gust could blow them away.

But in the middle of the third shelf, there's a book that's intact, preserved by the system!

This is the inheritance!

Xiao Feng took it down to look.

【You discovered the Primeval Inheritance 《Immortal Farmer Holy Law》，compatibility 67%，accept inheritance immediately？】

The system popped up a prompt.

Xiao Feng didn't choose it and continued looking at the next bookshelf.

There are many, many books here; although most have rotted and can't be read, some are still intact.

The number of primeval inheritances here is more than the sum of those elsewhere; we've come to the right place.

Xiao Feng checked them one by one, and the system's prompt messages kept refreshing.

【You discovered the Primeval Inheritance 《Beacon Fire Treasure Technique》，compatibility 49%，accept inheritance immediately？】

【You discovered the Primeval Inheritance 《Falling Sun Heavenly King Classic》，compatibility 62%，accept inheritance immediately？】

【You discovered the Primeval Inheritance 《Military Battle Tactics》，compatibility 19%，accept inheritance immediately？】

【……】

Seeing so many inheritances, Xiao Feng felt both happy and somewhat helpless.

The happy part is that there are many choices, with all types available.

The helpless part is…… the compatibility isn't very high.

Moreover, these inheritances each consist of only a single book, seemingly not containing Lord Divine Artifacts, Supreme Treasures, or the like. Even if obtained, they'd probably just let him learn one or two secret-art-level skills, with little improvement to basic attributes.

After finishing one side of the bookshelves, he came to the middle of the study.

In the middle stands a desk, which should be where the emperor sat to read.

On the desk are placed brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a book that's

open.

This book hasn't rotted, is also intact, and can be obtained for inheritance.

Xiao Feng hurriedly picked it up to look.

The system prompted: 【You discovered the Primeval Inheritance 《God-Demon Hundred Transformations》，compatibility 81%，accept inheritance immediately？】

This inheritance's compatibility is much higher than the others, already breaking the 80% threshold; it's considered high quality and a good fit!

Moreover, judging by the name it seems somewhat powerful, able to be placed on the desk; obviously the emperor who was previously in that hall was still reading this book.

Do you want to learn it?

Xiao Feng felt a little tempted.

But after thinking it over, since no one would compete with him for it, he could just leave it here for now, and after he had finished examining all the legacies in the entire palace, he could come back to consider it later without delay!

So he put the book down again.

The brush and paperweight on the desk seemed to be emitting spiritual power fluctuations, and Xiao Feng picked up the brush.

【You have discovered the Primordial Legacy 'Spring and Autumn Brush', compatibility 74%. Do you wish to immediately accept the legacy?】

This is also a legacy, and his intuition told him that the quality of this Spring and Autumn Brush was high, at least a divine artifact, possibly even a perfect divine artifact!

Shen Chuo's Taihuang Divine Sword was merely a perfect divine artifact; if this brush were of the same quality, then the quality of the Primordial Legacies here could be roughly estimated.

Xiao Feng put down the brush, then picked up the paperweight on the desk.

The paperweights were made of wood, with one piece on each side, forming a matched pair of treasures. They looked magnificent, carved with lifelike Eastern divine dragons; the vermilion lacquer was somewhat dim, filled with an ancient aura.

【You have discovered the Primordial Legacy 'Suppressing Way', compatibility 49%. Do you wish to immediately accept the legacy?】

The quality of this pair of paperweights seemed not inferior to that of the brush, but the compatibility was too low, so Xiao Feng had no intention of choosing it.

There was still half a bookshelf in the room unexamined; he continued to patiently look through it, checking names and compatibilities, screening for the legacy most suitable for himself.

After a while, Xiao Feng was examining the legacy quality of a thick volume in his hand.

But his ears heard a dull sound coming from afar.

It sounded as if a building had collapsed!

"What's going on? This place supposedly has no one, so the palace shouldn't mysteriously collapse for no reason!" Xiao Feng felt suspicious.

He Er Na hasn't arrived here yet, so it couldn't have been caused by her.

Could it be... that other living beings have also entered this place?
