Chapter 477

Lan Caidie held the Stopping Spear and subconsciously imitated one of the moves.

"That's it! I've seen one of these sets of spear techniques in the No. 35 inheritance!"

Lan Caidie immediately took out a jade butterfly from her internal world, her expression somewhat excited.

"The Blood Shadow Spear Technique left by Yuan is one of them!"

"However, the one on this stone wall seems to be more advanced."

Lan Caidie had practiced this Blood Shadow Spear Technique before.

She herself was good at the way of the spear; naturally, the Empire had stronger ones than the "Blood Shadow Spear Technique".

But Lan Caidie loved spear techniques, so naturally, she learned it after obtaining it.

Since it could be rated as a Sun-stage spear technique, it naturally had its unique features, so she naturally wouldn't let it go.

She didn't expect it to come in handy in the third stage of the Body Palace.

"Chestnuts from the fire!"

Lan Caidie flicked her spear tip, and the Stopping Spear immediately drew a perfect trajectory, stabbing at the stone wall.

"Ding~"

The spear tip sparked, and all the power was condensed at one point.

"Boom~"

The stone wall immediately revealed a dent.

"There's a chance!"

Lan Caidie's spirit was shaken, and she immediately tried while learning.

While comprehending the spear techniques on the stone wall, she tried.

Soon, the power of her "Chestnuts from the fire" spear move also became greater and greater.

…………

At the same time, the third stage of the Soul Palace.

"Click click click~"

The sound of a lock core rotating echoed in the palace.

And in reality, in front of Zhao Xing, a strange trial had indeed appeared.

A bronze stone lock.

Zhao Xing's soul power drilled into the bronze stone lock.

According to the requirements of the inheritance trial, open the bronze stone lock with soul power to pass the stage.

And the bronze stone lock had one and only one way to be restored.

"Little White, how do I break this stage?" Zhao Xing asked. "I feel like inside this stone lock, it's like a maze; the soul extends infinitely, and the stone lock also extends infinitely."

The Bone Tree recalled for a while and said: "This is another little trick left by Yuan, the Soul Shi Suo."

"Back then, when Yuan imprisoned criminals, he used this kind of mechanism, using Fire Seed (soul) as a prison."

"It is forged from the special treasure Green Soul Stone that absorbs Fire Seeds; the more soul power injected, the harder the stone lock becomes, it cannot be destroyed, and the internal structure will become more complex, increasing exponentially."

"To break it with brute force, unless one reaches the Void-stage."

"Then how to break it?" Zhao Xing only focused on the point.

"The secret technique to open the Soul Shi Suo is actually very simple."

"Master can search for 'Soul Code Jailer' in the Empire's database, and you will find the secret technique to open the Soul Shi Suo."

"I don't know it myself," the Bone Tree said, "because it only requires a Skeleton King to serve as a Soul Code Jailer."

It was too simple, so the Bone Tree didn't care about it at all.

Zhao Xing immediately entered the virtual world.

He ordered Zero to search the database of the Fire Seed civilization.

The massive database had accumulated tens of thousands of years, and the information was massive.

However, Zero was already an SS-grade intelligent life, and it only took 10 seconds to retrieve the information.

If it had been before the upgrade, just A-grade, it would have taken a month to scan all the information.

"Soul Code Jailer, record the secret technique for unlocking, Silver Moon-stage secret technique, exchange only requires 100,000 high-tier origin crystals."

Zhao Xing immediately exchanged for it, because he had stored some high-tier origin crystals in his account at the base.

So he didn't need to return to exchange for the secret technique; he could learn it directly in the virtual world.

And a Silver Moon-stage secret technique only required 100,000 high-tier origin crystals, which was simply the lowest price.

It also proved that it was very simple!

Zhao Xing spent less than a quarter of an hour mastering this secret technique.

After mastering it, he immediately tried.

"Click~"

The bronze stone lock immediately changed, shrinking from the size of a millstone to the size of a Rubik's cube.

Third stage, passed!

A portion of Void Source Liquid floated down.

"It's that simple?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat incredulous.

This stage had no difficulty at all.

As long as one could find this crude Silver Moon-stage secret technique.

Even geniuses who weren't super-first-class could quickly master it and open it.

"Yuan has truly changed," the Bone Tree sighed. "He has become someone I don't recognize."

"In the past, he was decisive in killing, and I don't know how many Fire Seed lives and super-evolvers he killed, stepping on countless corpses to become the Sovereign."

"Now, he is so painstaking for the sake of his race, even prioritizing the race when setting the final stage."

The Bone Tree's voice seemed somewhat sad and dazed.

After a while, he said: "Master, I have already understood Yuan's intention."

"This final inheritance trial is completely inclined toward those geniuses who like the Fire Seed civilization and identify with the Fire Seed civilization!"

"Master, look, assuming I didn't remind you, how difficult would it be to break this Soul Shi Suo?"

Zhao Xing was stunned.

Indeed, without the Bone Tree's reminder, he would have been very hard-pressed to find a way to open it.

And without finding a way to open it, even a Void-stage couldn't forcibly break it!

Looking at it this way, the difficulty was simply maxed out!

"Being able to find the Soul Code Jailer and learn this secret technique means one must have a deep understanding of the Fire Seed civilization, even to the point of loving it, to know this secret technique."

"Yuan wants this kind of genius to get his treasures."

"Only then can it be considered beneficial to the race."

"What if no one knows, wouldn't they be stuck?" Zhao Xing asked.

"They won't," the Bone Tree said. "There are so many geniuses, and the Empire has so many powerful Lords; they will definitely think of this."

"If they get stuck, the geniuses will naturally go to understand the Fire Seed civilization deeply."

"Even the inheritance stages, secret techniques, and treasures set in the Emperor-grade cities are already a kind of hint."

Zhao Xing said: "Yuan isn't afraid of some people with poor talent taking away his inheritance? Assuming someone understands the Fire Seed civilization very well, but... I understand."

Halfway through, Zhao Xing suddenly realized.

This possibility had already been ruled out by Yuan in the first few stages.

Starting from the step of 'becoming a Star-stage Lord within 50 years.'

Then the Emperor-grade cities.

Only 29 geniuses could reach this final step.

And they were inevitably super-first-class geniuses!

Of course, among these 29 people, there were also differences in strength.

But for Yuan, screening to this step was enough.

For Yuan, the difference was already not big.

Even if a more heaven-defying genius obtained the inheritance among the 29, the overall lower limit was already high enough!

Even if it wasn't the strongest genius who obtained the inheritance!
