Chapter 686: Is this the Heavenly Court?

Forget waiting until evening, I'll update directly!

Bing Lu was immersed in the process of accepting the inheritance.

A thin layer of blue-gray mist faintly appeared on her body, similar to the color of azure dragon scales.

The azure dragon in the painting seemed to be dancing, trying to break free from the picture and rush into her mind.

At this moment, Bing Lu's brain received a huge amount of information; a great door opened, leading her into a brand-new world.

At the same time, Xiao Feng also brought He Er Na and examined all the inheritance items in the imperial study.

After she carefully contemplated, among the more than forty ancient inheritances, only two had a relatively high compatibility.

One is the book 《God Demon Hundred Changes》 placed on the desk.

The names 《God Demon Hundred Changes》 and 《God Dragon Nine Changes》 look somewhat similar, but they are actually two completely different inheritances.

God Dragon Nine Changes is the path of true dragon evolution; upon reaching the highest realm, it can transform the Li Ti into a pure-blooded divine dragon, shaking the four seas!

Meanwhile, God Demon Hundred Changes is a complex divine ability, containing over a hundred miraculous techniques!

Here, the 'change' means adaptation and flexibility; by means of these over a hundred divine abilities, one can adapt to any situation and gain advantageous factors.

God Demon Hundred Changes, neither purely god nor demon, yet both! If one masters all its means, even if the apocalypse arrives, one retains self-preservation ability; it is the supreme wondrous method that enables one to 'leap beyond the three realms, not dwelling within the five elements'!

Its quality is naturally extremely high, even higher than that of 《God Dragon Nine Changes》!

However, He Er Na's compatibility did not reach the highest level; she herself felt it was 'very suitable for me,' but not the perfect 'tailor-made for me' degree.

According to Xiao Feng's estimate, the compatibility should be between 87% and 92%.

Another one is the inheritance named 《Profound Heaven Gang Wind》; He Er Na felt it was 'extremely suitable for me, I really want to obtain it'.

Its compatibility is estimated to be at least 98% or higher, possibly even 100%!

He Er Na has always cultivated wind-system magic; she is a born spirit, possessing from birth a high affinity for wind.

《Profound Heaven Gang Wind》 is also a wind-system inheritance, naturally matching her highly.

But...

In Xiao Feng's view, the quality of 《Profound Heaven Gang Wind》 seems not particularly high; at least it is definitely not as formidable as 《God Demon Hundred Changes》!

One inheritance has 100% compatibility but only level 1000, while another has 90% compatibility but can reach up to level 1500; which should one choose?

The potential of the two perhaps cannot

be expressed in such a way using levels.

But in Xiao Feng's view, it's roughly this difference.

After much thought, he still felt that 《God Demon Hundred Changes》 is somewhat more formidable.

With over a hundred techniques, it's surely more formidable than a single wind-system technique, right?

Even if the compatibility is slightly lower, the advantage lies in the multitude of methods!

When wind-system attacks are ineffective, one can switch to fire-system.

If fire-system still fails, summon golden-armored divine soldiers to smash!

If still ineffective, one can even flee! Directly perform a great void teleportation, see you in another world—no one can catch up!

This is the charm of 《God Demon Hundred Changes》!

Following Xiao Feng's suggestion, He Er Na chose to accept the inheritance of 《God Demon Hundred Changes》, sitting on the cushion where the emperor had sat, calmly receiving the cultural treasure left from the ancient era.

Hmm… the cushion has been swept clean, so there's no need to worry about getting dust on one's backside after sitting!

Both women were receiving inheritances, and Xiao Feng himself did not want to stay idle.

He had not yet toured this entire imperial palace; there were still many places to visit.

The city outside the imperial palace is the same; perhaps some powerful inheritances might appear in the city as well.

Since no one else has entered this world, he need not worry about any danger; he put the duster back on the shelf, left the imperial study, and continued to wander about.

He first strolled around the imperial palace, walking through all the larger buildings.

The small rooms are for servants to live in, with floor heights still under 1.8 meters, forcing people to live with their heads lowered.

In such rooms, there usually are no peerless experts, so there's no need to inspect them.

Because among the servants, whoever rises will immediately move out of the small rooms into larger ones—for example, a little eunuch becoming a chief eunuch—thus the small rooms have no exploration value.

This time, Xiao Feng's speed was much faster.

The experience accumulated from the imperial study enabled him to quickly discern whether something had inheritance effects, without wasting too much time slowly searching.

Thus he only wandered for about three hours, after which he circled the remaining palaces and found most of the inheritances.

Among these inheritances, there are also several of quite good quality, which should not be inferior to 《God Dragon Nine Changes》.

The one with the highest compatibility for him is named 《Auspicious Weather Method of the Duty Officer》, with compatibility as high as 99%, also a very suitable inheritance.

However, compared to 《Ninefold Heavenly Dao》, it seems slightly lower in grade, so Xiao Feng did not choose it.

As more and more inheritances appeared in Xiao Feng's

field of vision, he gradually noticed the special nature of this imperial palace.

If nothing unexpected happens, this palace city…… is very likely the same as the legendary 'Heavenly Court'!

Among the inheritances here, there are those for summoning clouds and rain, punishing evil, governing disasters, suppressing rebels, and so on.

All the inheritances pieced together form a relatively complete 'system'.

This 'system' is very similar to the institution in mythological stories that governs the three realms, the 'Heavenly Court'.

But…… there are also differences!

In mythology, the Heavenly Court is already the supreme existence; no stronger force in the world can compete with it, and it is even more impossible to destroy it!

Yet everything of this imperial palace, including the outside city, even this entire world, has been destroyed!

It was destroyed in an instant, wiping out all living beings across the world!

What tremendous power would that require?

So, Xiao Feng speculated that this 'Heavenly Court' probably isn't as powerful as in mythological stories; it's likely a level 500-1500 map, existing as a background.

It might be a symbol of an era with watershed significance in the game's background.

According to convention, when dividing history, people usually have the distinctions of 'ancient, upper ancient, remote ancient, and primordial ancient'.

Gods can live for ten thousand years, so 'ancient' must be at least a 100,000-year historical tier.

Upper ancient ranges from several hundred thousand to around one million years.

Remote ancient is at least two to three million years ago.

Primordial ancient is even older, likely requiring tens of millions of years.

This is the era of the imperial palace's heyday.

Moreover, in the eyes of that era, there is another 'Primordial Ancient', even older!

That must be at least an era from 20 million years ago!

Xiao Feng doesn't know, in the setting, how long a level 2000 super boss can live.

But he expects it to be immortal!

After all, the Supreme God can live for tens of thousands of years, and that is an existence several major realms above the Supreme God; if it were short-lived, that would be hilarious!

So, the level 2000 and above bosses in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield might have survived from the Primordial Ancient era to the present!

If that were the case, they would know of the existence of this imperial palace, as well as the existence of the emperor and ministers here!

If there is a chance in the future to come into contact with such a top-tier boss, one could inquire a bit, ask why this world was destroyed, and make up for one's curiosity about this mysterious inheritance site!
