CHAPTER 864: CHAPTER 864: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK

"Lift it for me!"

Inside the Inheritance Land, an angry roar shattered the silence.

A stone stele over three meters tall was slowly pulled up, the rumbling sound echoing in all directions.

Tang Zhirou, standing aside, covered her mouth, looking at all this in shock.

"Are you... are you even human?"

This was obviously a humanoid demon beast!

The stele was pulled out of the ground, and Chen Nan immediately felt a lightness in his hand. The Inheritance Tombstone of the Green Mountain Ancestor was finally in his grasp.

"Great, now all the Qingshan Sect members can attempt to gain the inheritance."

Looking at the multitude of tombstones on the ground, Chen Nan couldn’t help but smile joyfully.

Just then, Jiang Zheng’s voice suddenly echoed from the void.

"Disciple, I forgot to mention, you only have two hours in the Inheritance Land, the Array is about to close!"

Tang Zhirou, upon hearing this, almost wanted to curse out loud; her inexpensive master was too unreliable, not even mentioning such an important thing beforehand.

If interrupted at a crucial moment in obtaining the inheritance, what a loss that would be!

"Old fool, I’ll curse you when I get out!" she muttered softly, lowering her head.

Chen Nan didn’t hesitate, quickly storing all the Inheritance Tombstones into the storage bag, then returned to the Array with Tang Zhirou.

With a flash of light, they returned outside once again.

Jiang Zheng, who was waiting, awkwardly smiled, feeling quite embarrassed, as he’s the one who forgot about the time restriction.

To be fair, he had entered the Inheritance Land centuries ago, forgetting was only natural.

"Hehe, my good disciples, have you both obtained the inheritance?"

As soon as Tang Zhirou heard this, she got angry, akimbo and approached Jiang Zheng.

"You old geezer, not mentioning such matters at first, what if we got interrupted while acquiring the inheritance, wouldn’t that be a huge loss? You’re really unreliable."

"I think you should retire early. If you stay as the Sect Leader, you might unknowingly lead disciples to their doom!"

Jiang Zheng acknowledged his fault, so he didn’t argue back, just nodded repeatedly.

"You’re right, but I want to step down, yet your senior brother refuses to take over, I have no choice!"

"I can be the Sect Leader!" Tang Zhirou, instinctively puffed out her chest, but soon bowed her head sheepishly.

In terms of cultivation, she wasn’t the strongest in the sect.

In terms of abilities, she wasn’t as capable as Chen Nan.

Compared to herself leading, Jiang Zheng might still be better.

These thoughts just sprang up; if not becoming the senior sister, maybe directly being the Sect Leader would surpass Chen Nan, causing her to blush.

Jiang Zhirou chuckled, disregarding Tang Zhirou’s rudeness.

"So, the both of you got the inheritance?"

"Yes," Tang Zhirou nodded, "I received Master Yunmiao’s inheritance, she passed her mental method and magic to me."

"That’s wonderful, once back, make a Transmission Jade Scroll from it, then all Qingshan Sect disciples can cultivate it," Jiang Zhen excitedly slapped his thigh.

"Although Master Yunmiao was a female cultivator, her strength was formidable. With her inheritance, you could well become a war goddess of Qingshan Sect!"

Receiving such compliments, the proud Tang Zhirou couldn’t suppress a smile, nearly bursting into laughter, thus dismissing Jiang Zheng’s words.

"Alas, my master had no choice, you mustn’t blame him," Jiang Zheng thought silently seeing Tang Zhirou’s giddy, silly smile.

According to norms, the inheritance acquired within the Inheritance Land is a personal fortune, with which the sect has no right to interfere.

However, the current Qingshan Sect has almost no inheritance left, only a few complete Cultivation Techniques remain, others are all incomplete.

Thus, Jiang Zheng had no choice but to use this strategy to acquire more complete mental methods and magic, allowing disciples to cultivate even if it meant slighting his own disciples.

He then eagerly looked to Chen Nan, wishing to know who Chen Nan’s inheritance came from in the Inheritance Land.

"Master, I got the Green Mountain Ancestor’s inheritance, but it seems many have received it before, now all I got was a small sword, without any magic."

Chen Nan smiled wryly, withdrawing the small sword from the storage bag, placing it quietly on his palm, it looked petite and exquisite.

"Is this... the Void Breaking Sword?!"

Jiang Zheng’s eyes widened at the sight of the small sword, his voice turning sharp in shock.

"This was the Secret Treasure that accompanied the Green Mountain Ancestor throughout his battles, you’re incredibly lucky!"

He naturally knew about the overdrawn heritage of the Green Mountain Ancestor; after all, everyone entering the Inheritance Land aimed for it.

Even if just one in ten obtained it, many pieces of the Green Mountain Ancestor’s inheritance had already been given out.

Especially since the Green Mountain Ancestor had long passed, the lingering soul wanting to pass the cultivation on would imbue memories into the inheritors.

Hence, with each inheritance given, a portion became less.

The Void Breaking Sword still being available was unexpected to Jiang Zheng, who thought it might have been lost long ago.

Compared to magic, the Void Breaking Sword’s value was incomparable, especially its potential to turn the tide in pivotal moments.

"Ha ha, no worries, gaining this much from the Inheritance Land this time is already a big win. Once our sect grows, we can organize disciples to enter the Inheritance Land even more frequently."

Seeing Chen Nan downcast, Jiang Zheng assumed he was upset, so he comforted him.

But Chen Nan waved his hands, smiling sheepishly.

"Master, I’m not upset, just wanted to tell you that the Inheritance Land might not need visiting anymore."

"Huh? Why?" Jiang Zheng grew anxious, "Did you destroy the Inheritance Land?"

"It’s over, what will I say to the ancestral masters after death?"

Seeing him almost crying with worry, Chen Nan explained quickly: "Master, it’s not what you think."

"It’s just... I brought out all the Inheritance Steles!"

Saying this, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of Inheritance Steles from his storage bag appeared before Jiang Zheng, looking like an array of inexpensive wholesale goods.

Seeing the Inheritance Steles, Jiang Zheng rubbed his eyes fiercely, remaining in a daze before finally coming to his senses.

He truly didn’t know what to say, as taking out the Inheritance Steles allowed more opportunities to acquire Qingshan Sect ancestral inheritances, along with enabling regular ancestral worship, enhancing sect unity.

Attempts were made before, but they failed.

Simply put, his disciple Chen Nan was simply too fierce!
