Chapter 702: Who Is It? Who Is It?

"It's too terrifying! How could my thoughts be so bold?" Xu Que looked at the waterfall that suddenly appeared, a little stunned!

Because of the appearance of names like Five Elements Mountain and Zixia Fairy, Xu Que couldn't help but think in the direction related to A Journey to the West, and at this moment, he subconsciously thought it was a Water Curtain Cave.

But in fact, there was no evidence to prove these guesses.

"Need to change the direction of thinking!" Xu Que didn't act rashly, stood calmly in place, held his chin with one hand, and thought carefully for a while.

In the end, he came to two possibilities, unrelated to the Water Curtain Cave!

First: According to the Zha Tian Bang's First Theorem, whenever a stick meets a hole, it will be very excited; from this, the Zha Tian Bang's Second Theorem can be derived: if a stick is inserted into a hole, it will spray water!

Second: Er Gou and Duan Jiude said that this firewood stick was the key to breaking the seal, but the seal had already been broken by Zixia Fairy. Now it seems that this firewood stick might be far more than just the existence that breaks the seal, but a key that can open certain restrictions of the Five Elements Mountain!

Reasoning this way, Xu Que's train of thought became clear.

He believed with great wisdom that the second possibility was more correct!

The collapsed stone wall in the cave should be the mechanism restriction. After the firewood stick appeared, it immediately reacted and, after being inserted into the ground, unlocked the restriction.

"Sigh, it's a pity that this firewood stick also comes from the Wei Wu Sect. I estimate that the things inside have long been moved away by Er Gou's previous two lives. It's really shameless!" Xu Que shook his head, slandering Er Gou's dog character for not being good, but didn't think that he was the same kind of person.

While speaking, he also decided to go in and take a look!

He pulled up the firewood stick. The stick had no movement, restoring its original black, inconspicuous appearance, looking really like an ordinary firewood stick!

Xu Que then weighed it, held it in his hand, and walked toward the waterfall!

"Open!"

He shouted softly, waved forward, and the entire waterfall was instantly torn open with a gap.

Xu Que stepped into it, not getting a drop of water on him, and instantly arrived at the cave dwelling behind the waterfall.

This was still a cave, but it was slightly more spacious than the outside, with green grass growing in the corners, blooming wild flowers, and the stone walls were also covered with some green plants, looking like a natural cave, but also appearing strange!

"A cave that is isolated from the world and sealed off, yet can still grow grass?" Xu Que frowned and looked around.

However, apart from flowers and plants, there was nothing else in the cave.

"It seems I didn't guess wrong. Even if there was any fortune, I estimate it was already taken away by the Qilin Ancestor of Er Gou's previous two lives! Damn, I have to beat Er Gou up when I go out!" Xu Que was a little annoyed, having gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, only to find not a single bit of fortune.

He waved the firewood stick in his hand and turned to leave.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the waterfall at the cave entrance surged wildly, as if turning into a water dragon, and suddenly darted into the cave.

Xu Que was stunned, his body swayed slightly, and he dodged the water dragon.

However, the waterfall wasn't rushing at him; it just brushed past him and slammed directly into the ground.

What was surprising was that the soil on the ground didn't absorb the waterfall, but was drilled out of a hole by the waterfall, and as the water flowed in, the hole became larger and larger.

In the blink of an eye, the waterfall disappeared, and in the originally empty cave, there was now a small lake!

"Holy crap, what's the situation?" Xu Que was stunned again, confused, and couldn't figure out the situation.

This cave was really too strange, first a cave within a cave, then a lake within a cave, set after set, always having the surprise of discovering a new continent!

This made Xu Que interested.

He held the firewood stick, approached the lake, and stirred it gently!

"Hum!"

Suddenly, the stick vibrated again, emitting a faint halo!

Following closely, the entire lake rolled like a vortex, and two golden lights bloomed from the bottom of the lake, like two huge eyes, staring at Xu Que!

"Holy crap, it turns out there's a water monster. Come, come out and fight, I want to eat seafood!"

Xu Que stood up immediately, pinched out True Essence in his hand, and prepared to fight!

However, the two golden lights in the lake magnified gradually, seemingly rising toward the surface of the lake.

At this moment, Xu Que finally saw clearly that they weren't eyes at all, but two jade beads shining with golden light!

At the same time, a sound like a bell ringing resounded in the cave!

"Five Elements Body, inherit my mantle!" 【702

Boom!

Following this sound, Xu Que's eardrums actually ached from the vibration, buzzing and ringing, his divine soul trembling because of it!

"Who? Who is hiding there making that ghostly noise?" Xu Que immediately circulated the True Essence within his body, forcibly dispelling the influence of that sound!

He watched his surroundings vigilantly, while at the same time feeling horrified in his heart; what level of expert was this?

Just a single sound had caused such great power against him! If this had been an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, they probably would have been shaken to death on the spot!

"Who exactly is it? Why don't you hurry up and get out here, you Pretension Saint?" Xu Que shouted again, watching his surroundings vigilantly!

However, there was no movement in the cave!

"Who is it, come out quickly!"

"Quick, I'm hungry!"

"Ho! Come out quickly!"

"Ho!"

"Ha!"

"Ho!"

"Ha!"

Whoosh!

At this moment, two golden jade beads darted out from the lake, suddenly floating before Xu Que.

"Who is it..." Xu Que was startled, looking at the two golden jade beads, "who sent you to my side!"

"Ding, technique inheritance detected, do you wish to collect it?"

Technique inheritance?

The system's prompt immediately brought Xu Que back to his senses, and thinking of that inexplicable sound from just a moment ago, it seemed to have mentioned something about inheriting a mantle and also mentioned a Five Elements Body!

Could this be the fortune beneath Five Elements Mountain?

"Collect!" Xu Que was overjoyed and immediately stopped caring about that voice from before, responding directly to the system!

The next moment, the two golden jade beads flashed and instantly darted into Xu Que's body, appearing in the system package!

The names were very simple, directly defaulted by the system as 【Technique Inheritance 1】 and 【Technique Inheritance 2】; they needed to be opened before the inheritance inside could be obtained!

Xu Que immediately raised an eyebrow: "Interesting, playing mysterious; this Pretension Saint loves a sense of mystery! Come, open them both for me!"

Swish!

The two golden jade beads were immediately opened, turning into wisps of golden light that surged into Xu Que's body!

"Five Elements Body, inherit my mantle!"

Suddenly, that voice from before rang out again, but this time it appeared within Xu Que's mind.

Xu Que's scalp immediately went numb, and he felt a mysterious force invade his body, which, at the very first moment, directly impacted his Dao Essence!

At the same time, the system prompt also rang out!

"Ding! Unknown technique inheritance invasion detected, it has been temporarily intercepted by the system firewall; do you wish to accept this inheritance?"

"Ding! Note: once this inheritance is accepted, the host's Dao Essence will be assimilated and changed!"

What?

You want to change my Dao Essence?

Damn it, change your mother's paralysis!

Is my Dao Essence something you can just change at will? A mere broken inheritance, what's so great about it!

Not changing, absolutely not changing!

"System, blow up that guy's broken inheritance for me, throw it out to feed Er Gou!" Xu Que said, staring wide-eyed.

"Ding! Are you sure you want to remove the 'Eight-Nine Profound Art' and the 'Fiery Eyes of the Pupils'?"

"Sure... huh? Wait! What did you just say? Eight-Nine Profound Art? Fiery Eyes of the Pupils? Isn't this just the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Fiery Golden Eyes?" Xu Que exclaimed on the spot, his eyes widening.

Following that, he couldn't help but feel a burst of wild joy in his heart!

"Ho! Ha! Ho! Ha! Who~ sent you to my side! Seventy-Two Transformations! Fiery Golden Eyes! Hahaha..."
