Chapter 797
The Pillar of Inheritance! The Master's Wife is Missing
"Is it a ruin or a tomb?"
Xia Hengbing's eyes lit up instantly.
Regardless of the type, it proves that there must be a great treasure here, making any ice pebbles seem insignificant in comparison.
soon.
The three then ventured deep into the cave.
The deeper they went, the brighter the cave became.
After finally walking through the long passageway, a bright and open space appeared before us, revealing an underground palace.
In the very center of the palace, there was an ice coffin, and mysterious patterns were carved on it.
Xia Hengbing, Lei Shuo, and Yu Feihan all immediately looked at Zhang Lingshan.
In their eyes, this was Zhang Lingshan's forte, and those mysterious patterns might be exactly the same as the stone slab at the entrance of the cave.
Zhang Lingshan said, "Why are you looking at me? These patterns are different. I can't take this ice coffin with me."
Xia Hengbing said, "Professor Li, you are too modest. Given time, I am sure you can also comprehend these runes. Then we can let everyone see what's inside this ice coffin."
"This must be the body of the owner of this place."
Zhang Lingshan said, "Let's leave this ice coffin aside for now and see if there are any other treasures. If all the treasures are in the ice coffin, then we'll have to study the runes."
"Exactly that."
The three nodded in unison, and then quickly began to search the entire hall.
However, before the three of them had gone far, three beams of white light suddenly poured down from the ceiling of the main hall, enveloping each of them.
Then, a voice slowly rang out: "I am Song Dayun, the sect master of the Great Fortune Sect. The three of you are destined to be with my Great Fortune Sect, so I bestow upon you great fortune. Keep it safe and cultivate diligently. When you find the ruins of my Great Fortune Sect in the future, the three of you should burn incense and bathe to welcome my return. I will lead you to fame throughout the world and share the Great Dao!"
That's all.
Before Xia Hengbing, Lei Shuo, and Yu Feihan could react from their daze, the white light above them began to become murky, instantly burying all three of them in the murky light.
Is this a transmission of power?
Moreover, it also contained a large amount of complex knowledge, as if it had imparted all the information about the Great Fortune Gate to the three of them.
Zhang Lingshan didn't hear the three people's screams, nor did he know what had happened inside, but he could only guess that it wasn't a bad thing.
'I didn't sense any soul entity, so it shouldn't be a case of possession, and there's probably no major problem.'
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.
At least for now, it seems that the three people are not in any danger, and there is no need for me to break the white light pillar.
Firstly, I might not be able to break it myself.
Secondly, if it is truly a great opportunity, it might actually affect the three of them.
Therefore, Zhang Lingshan could only observe the situation and at the same time release a large amount of divine sense to investigate everywhere.
All three of them received the inheritance; I can't go back empty-handed.
In any case, we should at least get something useful from the main hall; if all else fails, taking some plaster from the walls won't be a complete waste.
'Grandma's.'
A moment later, Zhang Lingshan cursed inwardly.
Good heavens, it seems all the good stuff is in those three pillars of light. Apart from the ice coffin in the center of the hall, there's nothing left for me.
He had come to deliver the package, bringing over Xia Hengbing and the other two so that Song Dayun could take them as disciples.
But you should at least pay some of the delivery fee.
'We can only continue studying the runes on this ice coffin.'
Zhang Lingshan sighed inwardly, then sprinkled divine dew and blood onto the runes on the ice coffin.
Xia Hengbing and the other two were all immersed in the inheritance and had no say in Zhang Lingshan's affairs, so he could brazenly use his blood to make imprints.
A moment later.
Zhang Lingshan then copied all the runes and inserted them into the acupoints, and began to comprehend them.
Once the runes are inside the body, they become incredibly easy to decipher.
However, compared to the runes on the stone slabs outside, the runes on this ice coffin are clearly more complex.
Zhang Lingshan only needed a few hours to comprehend the runes on the stone slab.
But that was to comprehend the ice coffin rune, which took a full five days.
'These are top-tier ice runes! Their purpose is to maintain this ice coffin.'
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.
Although it's only for maintaining the ice coffin, it doesn't seem to have any defensive or offensive capabilities.
But if you think like that, you're doomed.
Because the Frost Talisman is an offensive talisman, it can gather the power of heaven and earth's ice to form weapons made of ice, thereby attacking enemies.
The person who made the ice coffin clearly had a profound understanding of the ice talisman, to the point that he could use it with ease.
Therefore, he can transform the attack rune into an ice coffin to maintain it, but it still contains elements of attack.
If Zhang Lingshan hadn't comprehended the Frost Talisman beforehand, and instead rashly reached out to open the other person's ice coffin, the Frost Talisman would have been activated immediately, releasing a large number of frost weapons to attack him.
This is what makes this Frost Talisman so terrifying.
What's terrifying isn't the Ice Talisman itself, but the person who created it.
After all, even the most advanced ice rune is relatively simple compared to those high-level runes.
Many people know how to use the Frost Talisman, but very few can wield it with such masterful skill.
This is an attempt to mythologize something simple, demonstrating that the person who created the ice coffin likely possessed an unparalleled understanding of ice.
'Was this ice coffin made by Song Dayun, the sect leader of the Great Fortune Sect? Is he also an ice-type elemental spirit root?'
Zhang Lingshan secretly made a guess.
However, this question was not important, so he only thought about it subconsciously for a moment, and then continued to study the ice coffin.
To Zhang Lingshan's surprise, even after he had thoroughly understood the Frost Talisman, he was still unable to open the ice coffin.
Forget about opening it, we couldn't even get a crack in it.
Therefore, even immortals and gods cannot enter.
'Within this ice coffin formed by the Frost Rune, there are other runes mixed in, but my divine sense cannot penetrate them, nor can my blood enter, so I have no way to comprehend them.'
Zhang Lingshan finally understood that the person who made the ice coffin never intended for anyone to open it.
So this wasn't a test, but rather something they did intentionally to protect the things or people inside the ice coffin.
Unless you can forcibly destroy the ice coffin, you will never be able to see what's inside.
But even a single ice talisman conceals such terrifying attack effects.
If I dare to attack the ice coffin, the other runes hidden in the ice coffin's layers will surely unleash an even more terrifying counterattack.
With my current strength, it's absolutely impossible for me to withstand it.
and so.
Zhang Lingshan had no choice but to give up. He then looked at the three people still in the pillar of light and was speechless.
So he came here to be a protector of the Dharma.
Song Dayun should thank himself; if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have found these three disciples so quickly.
However, why are there only three disciples? Why can't there be one more, so that Zhang Lingshan can also see the so-called inheritance of the Great Fortune Sect?
'In five days, the turbidity of their three pillars of light has become much clearer. It seems that once they are completely clear, the three of them will have fully absorbed the inheritance of the Great Fortune Sect.' Zhang Lingshan pondered to himself.
However, he found it strange that, in theory, Xia Hengbing had the highest talent and the strongest strength, so he should have absorbed the knowledge the fastest.
However, according to his observation, the speed at which the colors of the beams of light changed for the three people was almost exactly the same.
Even with his divine sense, he couldn't detect much difference in the three people's colors, indicating that there was almost no difference.
This is completely unreasonable.
Yu Feihan's talent and strength were average, yet he received the inheritance at the same speed as Xia Hengbing.
This question cannot be explained unless the legacy was tailor-made for him and was an exceptionally perfect fit.
Of course, none of this had much to do with Zhang Lingshan; he was just curious. After his curiosity subsided, he began to study the ice coffin again.
Since he had nothing better to do, and he had already thoroughly understood the ice runes on the outermost layer of the ice coffin, he could try to use the ice runes to penetrate his divine consciousness into the interlayer of the ice coffin and comprehend the deeper runes within it.
Time flies by.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Zhang Lingshan finally glimpsed the dawn and sensed a sliver of extremely white light.
What's terrifying is that the moment this light entered Zhang Lingshan's extended divine sense, it instantly pierced through it.
Zhang Lingshan was greatly surprised.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and the amount of divine consciousness that was separated was small, so I could cut it off in time without feeling bad.
Otherwise, if he hesitated even for a moment, the light would have locked onto him along with that divine sense.
That would be terrible.
'Such powerful light! What is that? Is it the runic lines from the ice coffin's inner layers?'
Zhang Lingshan was extremely shocked.
If one can comprehend this rune, one can kill without leaving a trace.
If the Heavenly Wind Divine Curse can completely annihilate a person on a physical level, then this ray of light directly pierces and destroys a person's spirit on a spiritual level.
'We must seize this opportunity; it's a tremendous chance.'
Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed. He had finally found some plaster that he could peel off, so the trip had not been in vain.
So, in the following time, he continued to send in divine consciousness through the gaps he had already navigated with ease.
In any case, I only spare a very small portion of myself each time so that the light can penetrate it. Although it will affect my soul power, the impact is not significant. Afterwards, I can replenish it by consuming my physical body with the Ghost Pool.
Each time a divine consciousness was pierced, it brought Zhang Lingshan profound insights.
This is just like when he was sitting at the bottom of the chasm, being constantly cut by the blade of that chasm.
The difference is that back then I experienced it with my physical body, while this time I experienced it with my divine consciousness.
The similarity lies in the fact that both involve constantly consuming themselves to deepen their understanding, making them extremely efficient.
Moreover, with Zhang Lingshan's current divine consciousness, he hardly needs to rest. Even if he does rest, he only needs to eat some high-quality spiritual rice.
With Zhang Zixin handling logistics, I don't need to worry about anything at all.
Moreover, the high-quality spiritual rice can also help replenish the soul power consumed, so he doesn't need to consume his physical body and can continuously release his divine sense to comprehend.
then.
In just six days, Zhang Lingshan noticed a change on the screen.
【Extreme Cold Ice Talisman: Beginner, 0/1000 points】
'It turns out that the light didn't pierce my divine sense, but rather froze it directly. It was just that it was so fast that even my divine sense's perception was distorted.'
Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.
I finally figured it out.
Later, we can add some improvements.
Unfortunately, the Extreme Cold Ice Talisman and the Heavenly Wind Divine Curse are both level techniques, requiring far too many energy points.
I can't add points in a short time.
However, unlike the Heavenly Wind Divine Curse which no longer has the Heavenly Wind Array Plate, this Extreme Cold Ice Talisman is still in the ice coffin, allowing me to continue to comprehend it and gain a considerable amount of experience points.
'If I could send this ice coffin directly into my pouch, that would be perfect.'
Zhang Lingshan suddenly had this idea.
This is a treasure! If I hold it and study it every day, I will eventually understand the Extreme Cold Ice Talisman.
The savings won't just be 1000 energy points; it will be ten or even a hundred times more, because after mastering the Extreme Cold Ice Talisman, one still needs to cultivate it to perfection.
That's not just saving ten or a hundred times, it's saving a thousand or ten thousand times.
and so.
Once Zhang Lingshan had this idea, he couldn't stop himself and was determined to make it happen.
I just happened to have learned the transport talisman technique from the stone slab at the cave entrance. If I can't use it here, where else can I use it?
It's clear that Song Dayun had planned this all along; otherwise, why would he have insisted on using the transporting talisman as a barrier at the cave entrance for him to comprehend?
It has to be said that Song Dayun is truly a genius; he foresaw everything.
This ice coffin should rightfully belong to Zhang Lingshan.
So Zhang Lingshan immediately began to shed blood and inscribe transport runes on the ice coffin.
No, it shouldn't be called carving, because it didn't affect the ice coffin itself, so as to avoid any accidents.
He simply used his own blood, combined with the Frost Talisman, to condense another layer of ice around the ice coffin.
Within this layer of ice lies his transport rune.
Then, using the transport runes, he uprooted the ice coffin and sent it directly into his pouch space.
Things went more smoothly than I expected!
It's clear that Song Dayun had planned this all along, expecting someone like Zhang Lingshan to appear here.
The reason why he didn't pass on the pillar of light to himself was that Zhang Lingshan had to comprehend it himself and move the ice coffin.
'Now I can send my divine consciousness into the pouch space to comprehend things at any time—it's wonderful!'
Zhang Lingshan felt extremely happy.
Given time, once I fully comprehend the Extreme Cold Ice Talisman, those damned Golden Immortals won't even be worthy of my attention.
With just a thought, the other party will die instantly!
This move will undoubtedly become Zhang Lingshan's fundamental trump card for establishing himself in the Immortal Realm.
Thank you, Song Dayun.
Click.
Click, click.
Almost simultaneously, three cracking sounds rang out. Zhang Lingshan looked closely and saw that the three beams of light shattered and disappeared, revealing the figures of Xia Hengbing, Lei Shuo, and Yu Feihan.
It was revealed that not only Xia Hengbing, who was already at the Perfected Profound Immortal realm, but Lei Shuo and Yu Feihan had also broken through to the Perfected Profound Immortal realm.
Lei Shuo was alright; he was already at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, just one step away from perfection. It was reasonable for him to break through after receiving the inheritance.
But Yu Feihan is a bit of an exaggeration. He wasn't a genius to begin with, so how did he catch up with Xia Hengbing and Lei Shuo in the blink of an eye?
"Hey, where did the ice coffin go?"
Where is our master's wife?
“That’s our master’s wife sitting there.”
Xia Hengbing and the other two were all shocked and looked at Zhang Lingshan. (End of this chapter)
