Chapter 240: Chapter 146: Legacy - Ten Days Before the Tribute Exam

"I finally broke through, almost broke my hand digging," Gu Shanhai looked at his uncontrollably trembling hands. This thing was too hard, even in his extreme state it was strenuous to dig, definitely not meant to be entered this way, but rather through some kind of teleportation technology.

Otherwise, with this hardness, even a Martial Arts True Immortal would shake as he did trying to dig through.

"Like the special spaces in the enchantments of The Sun Never Sets Dynasty? Interesting." Below this layer of unknown metal, there was something like a barrier.

This barrier emitted a strong Spiritual Energy, making Gu Shanhai feel as if he was facing some vast ocean.

"That means, this should be the source of Spiritual Energy in the two veins of the Jianghu World, such dense Spiritual Energy, not even in Heavenly City," Gu Shanhai compared the data. If Bai Fen were here, he would faint immediately due to the high concentration of Spiritual Energy, and if he didn’t move away in time, death would follow.

"Just why didn’t anyone dig this out in the previous life... I was being foolish again, at this time in the previous life the players had almost all fled, only a few big and small cats left, this thing would only emerge after ten more years, having even one player would have been considered bustling." Gu Shanhai also realized, the timing was off, many things thus lost their heat.

"What’s next, jump in?" Gu Shanhai pondered for a while, he should probably just jump in now, but he didn’t know what was inside, only that it was dangerous, and even Prophetic Divination couldn’t reveal it, perhaps this place naturally carried an ability to shield fate, or maybe for some other such reason.

"I’m already here!" Gu Shanhai gritted his teeth and directly... first retracted all his root tendrils.

These were all precious materials, after collecting them all he chopped them up, keeping them for concocting pills later, otherwise, it would be difficult to proceed with such a large setup.

The collection process took him another half hour, mainly because the network of roots was indeed huge, and Gu Shanhai also had to process them a bit, these things needed to be processed for use in medicine, otherwise they would spoil.

"The quantity is still a bit beyond my expectations, too much to just make into pills."

After pondering for ten seconds, he threw most of them into the Magic Pet pocket, considering it food for Little White, better it eats them than they spoil.

Little White was also a bit baffled at the pile of plant roots and stems, the smell was somewhat familiar though, reminding it of Gu Shanhai’s scent.

"Yo!" And then it realized instantly, these plant roots and stalks were definitely cut from Gu Shanhai himself, which was somewhat horrifying, was it really okay to feed it Spirit Plant cut from his own body?

Oh, it seems there’s no problem, Gu Shanhai himself ate them, even cooked them into little pills and even shared them with others, it had also tasted quite a few of these little pills.

Thinking about this, Little White’s psychological burden grew heavier, it turned out it had eaten them before, just never this fresh.

What Little White thought, Gu Shanhai didn’t know, he had already directly jumped in.

"Illusion?" Gu Shanhai looked at the bustling street, feeling puzzled for a moment.

After entering, he didn’t see any marvelous scenes or the fear of obliterated paths.

Instead, as soon as he entered, his appearance changed, and he seemed to have been forcibly switched to someone else’s perspective.

"Inheritance?" Gu Shanhai moved his body a bit and found that all his powers had disappeared, his physical condition had also turned into that of a common man.

Such situations were common in inheritances in immortal and fantasy worlds, usually completing some plot would mean passing, this not only tests one’s character, disposition, and various other things.

But if it were an inheritance from the Evil Path or Demonic Path, it would likely involve seizing the body rather than genuinely granting an inheritance.

"Why is there something from an immortal fantasy world in the Martial World..." Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but remark. He now suspected that the source of Spiritual Energy in the two veins of the Jianghu World might be due to some powerhouse who died here, even that unknown metal might be a bone of this powerhouse, just because it had aged and lost its power was Gu Shanhai able to dig through.

Thinking this, Gu Shanhai felt somewhat uneasy.

He thought he was digging up buried treasure, but it turned out to be dead man’s bones.

As for how the powerhouse came and died, it didn’t matter anymore. It was normal for transmigrators not to fully cross over; not all transmigrators managed to come through completely intact.

"Brother Gu is in a good mood today, not studying but enjoying this bustling market," a male voice came through.

Upon seeing the man, an outline of him emerged immediately in Gu Shanhai’s mind.

Fellow student Deng Zhida, who came to attend the Imperial Examination ten days later with him.

"..." Gu Shanhai cursed inwardly; this was ridiculous, directly skipping ahead and making him attend the Imperial Examination.

What’s worse, he wasn’t given any memories, making it impossible for him to play along.

With ten days, how could he succeed? With his original body, maybe, but his current body was merely that of an ordinary person, even with ten days, there was no way to truly complete catching up from zero.
