Chapter 20

She had just come out of the demon doctor's space, hadn't even seen the situation clearly, when she was pierced through by the Supreme Ultimate Sword.

As if afraid she would refuse, or afraid she would "run" again, the Supreme Ultimate Sword directly acknowledged her as its master on its own.

As an existence of the level of opening heaven and earth, the Supreme Ultimate Sword merely leaked a thread of sword energy, yet the inside and outside of Xuan Mountain were all startled.

The Xuan Mountain envoys all flew up into the air, bowing down toward the sword light atop Xuan Mountain's peak, "Supreme Ultimate Divine Sovereign."

"Has the Supreme Ultimate Divine Sovereign's inheritance appeared in the world?" Bai Renshan stared blankly; such an existence actually left its inheritance in Xuan Mountain.

No wonder the sect's ancestral precepts have always especially emphasized respecting the Xuan Mountain envoys and valuing the Xuan Mountain inheritance, even though over the past few centuries the inheritances that have appeared from Xuan Mountain have been quite ordinary, even inferior to those of the various major sects themselves.

It wasn't until three years ago, when the inheritance of the Fire Phoenix Immortal appeared, that people realized it wasn't that the Xuan Mountain inheritance was lacking, but that good inheritances disdain mediocrity.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Bai." The sect leader of a subsidiary sect of the Biyu Sect was already congratulating Bai Renshan.

Bai Renshan hadn't even reacted when they were saying, "Jianshu is young and accomplished; if he weren't unwilling, he would have already obtained the Supreme Sword Sovereign's inheritance three years ago. It seems he had already sensed the Supreme Ultimate Divine Sovereign's inheritance, which is why he made such choice."

"Yeah, he really can hold his breath." The echoing sect leaders were all convinced.

The Wanjian Sect Sect Leader laughed upon hearing, "Who else but my Wanjian Sect for sword cultivators? The Supreme Ultimate Divine Sovereign's inheritance will surely be obtained by my beloved disciple."

"Your Wanjian Sect is too arrogant; it simply isn't worthy of the Supreme Ultimate Sword's notice." Zhao Yue declared calmly.

The Wanjian Sect Sect Leader sneered, "Outstanding talent, what's wrong with being a bit arrogant?"

"The demonic cultivator path is indeed arrogant without bounds; Sect Leader Wan, are you looking to learn from demonic cultivators?" Zhao Yue countered.

"Zhao Saintess, calling you a saintess—do you really think you're divine?" The Wanjian Sect Sect Leader's words carried mockery, "I'm just giving face to your Biyu Sect's elders; you even slaughter your own biological daughter, worse than pigs and dogs."

"You, scoundrel!" Zhao Yue's face turned blue with anger, "Don't judge inner qualities rashly! Sect Leader Wan doesn't even understand this basic verbal etiquette—how did you become sect leader? No wonder your Wanjian Sect declines generation after generation."

The Wanjian Sect Sect Leader, however, couldn't be bothered to waste words, "Only petty people and women are hard to get along with! I won't argue with you; whatever you say goes."

"Old fool!" Zhao Yue was about to step forward to argue.

Bai Renshan, however, pressed her down, "Why bother to argue with that crude sword cultivator?"

Zhao Yue drew a deep breath of cold air before suppressing that indescribable irritation, "If it were about others, it would be fine, but they actually look down on Jianshu—what gives them the right?"

"The Wanjian Sect hasn't won first place for six straight years, so of course they can't stay calm." Bai Renshan gazed up at the Supreme Ultimate Sword in the firmament, his eyes also unable to hide their fervor, "I hope Jianshu can gain the Divine Sovereign's favor."

"He definitely can." Zhao Yue affirmed firmly.

"Chacha's talent is also excellent; I expect she'll obtain a good inheritance as well." Bai Renshan added.

Zhao Yue's expression instantly softened, "I'll take those auspicious words."

"Even that demon god statue has been forced by the Taiyi Sword's qi to dare not show itself." Bai Renshan wore a worried-for-the-world look, sighing, "We shouldn't have to worry about demonic cultivators causing trouble anymore."

"Before the Taiyi Divine Sovereign, what petty troublemaker would dare cause chaos?" Peak Master Xu of the Biyu Sect's Dan Peak stroked his beard, "I don't know if my Dan Peak might obtain a decent alchemist inheritance."

"That's hard to say; alchemists have always been rare, high-level alchemists even rarer, so their inheritances are naturally scarce as well."

Bai Renshan genuinely hoped such an inheritance would fall into the Biyu Sect; otherwise, the Biyu Sect would have to buy medicine from the Medicine God Valley every year, spending money like flowing water.

Medicinal pills of third grade and above are too expensive!

Among the alchemists of Dan Peak capable of refining third-grade and above pills, including Peak Master Xu, there are only three.

The pills produced each year by Dan Peak can only offset twenty to thirty percent of the Biyu Sect's daily needs.

Pills of fifth grade and above are almost entirely reliant on purchase.

"Ah."

Peak Master Xu himself sighed.

"The Medicine God Valley has taken in two disciples this year; a good alchemist inheritance will surely be obtained by them."

"Don't force it, just see what fate brings." Bai Renshan continued staring at the ever-present Taiyi Sword, thinking that even if he didn't obtain an alchemist inheritance, having the Taiyi Divine Sovereign's inheritance would also be fine.

After all, when the Medicine God Valley goes out to gather herbs or seek precious medicinal materials, it requires strong assistance, and the compensation each time is not low. So as long as one's cultivation is formidable, medicinal pills will naturally not be lacking.

After anticipating in this way for several days, the Xuan Mountain Grand Array faintly showed signs of reopening.

"They're coming out!"

Someone shouted!

Bai Renshan and the others had already focused their gaze on the Xuan Mountain exit!

Not long after, the Xuan Mountain Grand Array indeed opened wide, and a disciple flew out.

Leading the way…

"Chacha?"

Zhao Yue hadn't expected Su Chacha to be the first to come out.

Su Chacha stepped forward respectfully, her aura already markedly different from before.

"What is this…"

Zhao Yue could hardly contain her excitement; she faintly sensed an unusual aura.

Su Chacha slightly activated her xuan power, and a faint phoenix cry immediately rang out.

A golden phoenix slowly wrapped around her.

"The inheritance of the Golden Phoenix Immortal?" Zhao Yue exclaimed in surprise, truly never having imagined this!

Bai Renshan was also startled, "The Golden Phoenix inheritance, chief of the five-system phoenix immortals?"

"Reporting to Sect Leader and Master, disciple has not failed the mission and indeed obtained the favor of the Golden Phoenix Immortal."

Su Chacha bowed gracefully; though she tried to suppress her wild joy, it still overflowed.

From now on, Shen Qingli will no longer be the senior sister stepping on her head!

The inheritance she obtained is even somewhat stronger than that of the Fire Phoenix Immortal!

"Good, good, good." Bai Renshan praised repeatedly, "And what about your senior brothers?"

"Sect Leader, Master." Bai Li Chongtong, Gu Cihe, and others flashed out in succession, their auras having undergone considerable change, everyone beaming with joy.

Bai Renshan's smile never faded, yet it carried a hint of anxiety, for Pei Jianshu had not yet emerged—fortunately, the inheritor of the Taiyi Divine Sovereign had not appeared either.

Finally, Pei Jianshu, the Zhou Chuanqi siblings, and Zhao Jianming emerged, but none of them bore the aura of the Taiyi Divine Sovereign!

"Has anyone else obtained the inheritance of the Taiyi God Venerable?" the Wan Jian Sect sect leader asked first.

Zhao Jianming nodded, "Reporting to Master, it was a Tianxing Sect disciple who obtained that inheritance."

"Tianxing Sect?"

"How could that be!"

"Ah?"

The Tianxing Sect sect leader, who had been eating melon about himself, was dazed.

"What?"

Did their Tianxing Sect just strike luck?

Is their luck that good?

The Tianxing Sect sect leader scratched his head, but then saw his three disciples appear one after another, and they actually had the aura of Hongmeng purple qi!?

"Not us," Li Yidao said.

"Here they are! They've come out!" the Xuan Shan messenger suddenly exclaimed.

This was the first time everyone had seen the Xuan envoy lose composure, and they all fell silent.

However, the person who walked out leisurely from Xuan Shan was Shen Qingli.
