Chapter 1796: Chapter 1793: Immortal Scripture Inheritance_1 Chapter 1796: Chapter 1793: Immortal Scripture Inheritance_1 “The Spirit God Clan’s Crown Prince? Could it be the son of the Spirit God Clan’s king that you mentioned?” asked Yang Chen in surprise.

“Yes, it’s him, the sixth son of the Spirit God Clan’s king! After my first master ascended to immortality, he escaped capture and hid among humans for countless years!” exclaimed the Artifact Spirit. “It was he who almost plunged humanity into irreversible doom once again. If you know your history, you’d know that after the humans’ internal strife, foreign races took the opportunity to invade, trying to gain control of the human territory.”

“That’s true. Is there more to the story?” Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

“Heh heh, it’s not exactly a hidden story, as all the foreign races know that the human infighting didn’t consume too many resources. The key factor that emboldened the foreign races to make trouble for humans was that Spirit God Clan’s Crown Prince Peng Wanli nearly destroyed half of the human territory!” explained the Artifact Spirit.

“How did he do that?” Yang Chen took a deep breath.

Artifact Spirit slowly said, “Peng Wanli was very smart. He knew that if his realm wasn’t strong enough, rashly appearing would only lead to his death. He hid for countless years, cultivating until he reached the Great Ascension Stage before appearing. You have to understand that even his father wasn’t more than at the Great Ascension Stage. He cultivated to the Great Ascension Stage with the aim of leading other Spirit God Clan members to enslave humans and ultimately the whole World Continent! Unfortunately, it seemed as if humans were the natural nemesis of the Spirit God Clan–his father met my first master, and he met my second master.”

“Who was your second master?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

Artifact Spirit proudly said, “His name was Mu Taiqing!”

“Mu Taiqing?” Yang Chen blinked.

“Yes… you should recognize him. I heard from Kun Peng that you seem to have received his Clear Heart Immortal Orb after he cultivated and achieved enlightenment!” said the Artifact Spirit.

Kun Peng felt a little embarrassed and worried, afraid that Yang Chen would blame him for revealing too much information.

However, seeing that Yang Chen didn’t seem to be upset, Kun Peng heaved a sigh of relief.

Yang Chen said, “Yes, I indeed met Elder Mu Taiqing. I just never dared to think that he used to be such a powerful figure.”

How could he have thought that? No wonder the people from the Fierce Ghost Sect didn’t dare to disturb Mu Taiqing’s corpse, even though he had passed away. It turned out that he was such a powerful figure back in the day.

“Before Mu Taiqing met me, he was indeed extraordinarily talented, but not yet qualified to reach the apex. Although his achievements later owed much to my help, ultimately, his world invincibility and his capture of Peng Wanli were both closely related to me,” said the Artifact Spirit proudly.

“Why? Could you make him stronger?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

“I indeed couldn’t, but the immortal scriptures left by my master could,” said the Artifact Spirit.

“Didn’t you say that your master didn’t leave any inheritance?” Yang Chen blinked.

“I didn’t say that. I just said that my master didn’t leave any inheritance for humans, but I never said he didn’t leave any for me,” the Artifact Spirit clarified.

“…”

Yang Chen rolled his eyes, finding the Artifact Spirit’s understanding of the matter somewhat problematic. If its master left the inheritance to it, didn’t that mean he wanted it to be passed on to the descendants?

It made sense since an artifact spirit, even if it was the Slaughter God Spear as a King Divine Tool, could not be more flexible and intelligent than humans in some aspects.

“What is the immortal scripture you mentioned? Is it the Bright Cloud Immortal Scripture?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

Artifact Spirit shook its head and then nodded, “The Bright Cloud Immortal Scripture is just a small part of the scriptures left by my master that Mu Taiqing revised. Simply put, the Bright Cloud Immortal Scripture is a small part of the immortal scriptures my master left behind. The reason for this was to make a contribution to his sect, the Taiyi Sect. Even though it was a small part, it was enough to bring endless benefits to the future generations. Back then, the Taiyi Sect regarded the Clear Heart Immortal Orb as a treasure, because it was one of the few cultivation methods that could directly reach the Nirvana Stage. It was also one of the reasons why the Taiyi Sect remained prosperous. After all, there weren’t many secret scriptures in the world that could help cultivators reach the Nirvana Stage. Most of them could only reach the Enlightenment Realm Great Perfection. After cultivating to the Enlightenment Realm Great Perfection, most of them relied on their own exploration to enter the Nirvana Stage.”

Yang Chen was well aware of the importance of a cultivation method.

If it took ten thousand years to cultivate to the Nirvana Stage with the Bright Cloud Immortal Scripture,

it wouldn’t be surprising if it took one hundred thousand years or even a lifetime to not achieve it without the Bright Cloud Immortal Scripture. There were too many cultivators who were stuck before the Nirvana Stage.

“So with the complete immortal scripture, what realm can it be cultivated to?” Yang Chen asked again.

“It can be cultivated to the Great Ascension Stage! This was the key to Mu Taiqing’s rise. Relying on the inheritance left by my master, he cultivated to the Great Ascension Stage in just eight thousand years, becoming the number one genius of all time,” said the Artifact Spirit.

“Then why didn’t Elder Mu simply pass on all of Elder Hua’s inheritance to the Taiyi Sect?” Yang Chen asked again.

“Because I didn’t agree!” replied the Artifact Spirit.

“…” Yang Chen said unhappily, “Wouldn’t it be better for such a secret inheritance to be passed on to future generations?”

The Artifact Spirit disagreed, “You’re oversimplifying it. The more important a secret inheritance is, the more carefully it must be guarded, and it can’t be easily handed over to others, not even the Taiyi Sect. Can you guarantee that there are no foreign races within the Taiyi Sect? What if they acquire this secret scripture? That’s not even the worst-case scenario, what if the members of the Spirit God Clan obtain this secret scripture?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen gasped.

“Even with the existence of such a secret scripture, there will still be only a few human cultivators who could cultivate to the Great Ascension Stage. The secret scripture is ultimately just a supplement, and talent is what’s most important. It doesn’t mean that with a scripture that can help them cultivate to the Great Ascension Stage, humans can indeed reach that stage. But the Spirit God Clan is different. If you give them such a scripture, there will be far more than just one or two who can reach the Great Ascension Stage. When that happens, it would be tantamount to digging our own graves. My master and I discussed this matter, and we agreed that when passing on this secret scripture to others, we must be very cautious and make sure to understand their character before doing so!” the Artifact Spirit said.

“Does that mean your recent decision to meet me was after secretly observing my character?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

The Artifact Spirit nodded, “You guessed it. I’ve been observing you all along! If I hadn’t found you trustworthy, I would have only told you about the Spirit God Clan and not about this immortal scripture inheritance.”

“So, are you now considering passing down the immortal scripture inheritance to me?” asked Yang Chen, puzzled.

Artifact Spirit solemnly said, “Whether or not I can pass it down to you depends on your ability to grasp the Bright Cloud Immortal Scripture. If you can master it, you’ll naturally have the foundation to cultivate the inheritance. Of course, before that, the most important thing is that you promise me to cooperate in sealing the Spirit God Clan’s Crown Prince, Peng Wanli, for an even longer time!”

“I won’t blindly believe your words just because of what you said. After I go back, I will check the ancient records to verify the truth of what you said,” Yang Chen said.
