After a long pause, Zhang Wujue slowly said, "All my treasures are left in this coffin; you can use them freely. As for the Gate of Inheritance, each person can only inherit once, so you don't need to go again. Jin Xi does not need my inheritance. She only needs Guan Yue's help, so Guan Yue must assist her completely, allowing her to evolve into a Sovereign."
Sovereign? Jin Xi's big eyes couldn't help but shine with a green light; she understood what Sovereign meant. Now that Guan Yue was willing to help her, she actually had the chance to become a Sovereign. This was beyond her expectations, and how could she not be excited?
She couldn't help but speak up, "Thank you, Master. From now on, you will be like my reborn parents, and Guan Yue will be my reborn brother. I thank you both once again."
Zhang Wujue smiled wryly and said, "Girl, how can you compare your master to your brother?"
Jin Xi quickly replied, "I was wrong. First, I thank Master for giving me life, and then I thank my senior brother for helping me grow. Is that acceptable now?"
Zhang Wujue laughed heartily, and Guan Yue along with Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia also joined in the laughter. This junior sister was truly straightforward and very cute.
Zhang Wujue specifically called Guan Yue over and said to him, "Disciple, Old Man's spirit is about to leave. I am very satisfied; I have unexpectedly gained five disciples, each with their own specialties to strike from multiple angles. Old Man is content. I see that you, the eldest disciple, are still lacking, so I will give you one last push. You must lead the four junior sisters to strive for success; I hope we can meet again someday. Don't let me down, child."
Zhang Wujue's final words were heartfelt, allowing Guan Yue to sense the elder's sincere intentions. Thus, his eyes became moist as he solemnly nodded and gently said, "Master, rest assured. Disciple Guan Yue will not disappoint you; I will take good care of them all and follow in your footsteps to the other world."
Zhang Wujue nodded in satisfaction: "Good, it's up to you now. By the way, you can take all four of them as wives; that way everyone will be more united."
Although Zhang Wujue's tone was light, the three girls understood it very clearly. Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia immediately blushed and their hearts raced with excitement. Meanwhile, Jin Xi burst into laughter: "So we can become wives of Guan Yue! Great! Now I don't have to worry about him not helping me."
Guan Yue hesitated on how to respond while Zhang Wujue grew displeased: "Kid, do you not listen to your master's words?"
Startled, Guan Yue could only agree: "Disciple will strictly follow Master’s teachings."
Zhang Wujue looked at the other four female disciples and was astonished. He never expected that Old Man would hold a farewell ceremony and end up with five disciples, just waiting for them to enter the other world.
The difference between the disciples collected here and those gathered in the other world was too great to be measured by reason. Therefore, after entering the other world, Zhang Wujue felt this even more deeply, which is why he tirelessly sought out his successors here.
Zhang Wujue specifically shared many cultivation insights with Guan Yue, especially regarding the key to cultivating blood. Guan Yue gained a lot from it.
After five hours had passed, Zhang Wujue reluctantly said, "I have to leave now. Guan Yue, make sure to take good care of my disciples. I want them all to appear before me again, not leaving anyone behind, including Gao Yuxin."
"Master, don't worry. I will lead them all the way to the other world," Guan Yue said through gritted teeth, expressing his strong determination.
Only then was Zhang Wujue satisfied. He softly told everyone, "Disciples, you can comprehend things here for a while. You are free to choose anything within this place. Digest everything you can master before going out. Once you leave, this place will no longer exist."
Seeing each disciple nod in agreement, he glanced at Gao Yuxin within Guan Yue's body, who also nodded repeatedly in affirmation.
Zhang Wujue then pointed at Guan Yue and said, "As the eldest senior brother, your task is the heaviest. I will transfer all this remaining energy to you. Remember to quickly improve your cultivation; don’t let your junior sisters surpass you."
Zhang Wujue pointed his finger at Guan Yue's forehead. With a shudder, he sent a massive amount of energy into Guan Yue, causing him to feel intense pressure and pain. Gao Yuxin shouted from within, "Oh no, Brother Guan, your Essence is surging rapidly! It's already a million drops... two million drops... three million drops... four million drops... Oh my, it's too fast and too much! I need to count slowly; don’t let me mess it up."
Guan Yue felt changes occurring in his body as well, especially with his Divine Sense undergoing significant evolution. The precision of his Divine Sense was expanding while its range was also spreading out. This was a qualitative leap.
At the same time, his Mental Strength and Consciousness were also changing, leaving Guan Yue immensely surprised.
Gradually, Zhang Wujue's figure began to tremble faster and faster, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter as he slowly disappeared.
Following that, Zhang Wujue's energy transfer to Guan Yue came to an end. Gao Yuxin's voice followed: "Brother Guan, your Essence has reached seven million drops."
Guan Yue felt a surge of energy throughout his body and chuckled, saying, "Zhang Shizun has shown me great kindness, and I will never betray my master's teachings. I will definitely take you all to the Alternate Space to meet him."
Huangfu Jiayin immediately asked, "So we can call you 'Big Senior Brother' from now on?"
Naijia also looked up at Guan Yue, waiting for his response.
"Of course! From now on, I am your leader, so it's only right for you to call me Big Senior Brother," Guan Yue said proudly, raising his head and striking a pose befitting a senior brother, unable to suppress a smile.
Having unintentionally taken on a cheap master and gained the benefit of over seven million Essence, how could he not be happy? Now he wanted to open his master's coffin to see what treasures lay inside.
He arranged Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and Jin Xi in a line with him, and after bowing respectfully to the coffin, he slowly opened the lid. To his surprise, he found nothing inside the coffin except for a passage that led deeper underground.
The four of them entered one after another and arrived at the bottom, where they saw a spacious and magnificent hall with eight rooms dedicated to weapons, techniques, medicines, rare materials, spells, tactics, insights, and comprehension. The four entered different rooms to select their favorites for cultivation. Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia focused on medicines and techniques, while Jin Xi was particularly interested in rare materials. Guan Yue concentrated on searching for Lat's Hand.
He was not disappointed; he finally discovered Lat's Hand in the comprehension room. Guan Yue did not recognize it at first, but there was an explanation next to it stating that Lat's Hand should not be used recklessly. It required immense Mental Strength and Willpower as well as over ten million drops of Essence before its features could be utilized; otherwise, it could potentially destroy one's cultivation. This explanation piqued Guan Yue's interest in Lat's Hand significantly.
The description read: Lat's Hand is an object from beyond the heavens but has existed in this world for tens of thousands of years without ever being conquered by humanity. Its true purpose remains unknown.
He thought to himself that he must become the one who completely conquers Lat's Hand and makes it serve him!
Inside his master's Treasure were two communication stones, so he casually gave one to Huangfu Jiayin and kept one for himself. This way, he could stay in touch with the girls in the future.
Guan Yue felt very satisfied. He asked his three junior sisters to enter their preferred rooms for closed-door cultivation to fully grasp the inheritance they had received. For Jin Xi, Guan Yue passed on the Li Zu Divine Fist technique to her for her comprehension. He then quietly sat down in one of the rooms to analyze Lat's Hand. This Lat's Hand was a small fleshy rod covered with a layer of unknown beast skin, about a foot long and as thick as a thumb. It was filled with fluctuations of spiritual energy and seemed alive, as if it could understand human language.
However, Guan Yue did not dare to converse with it; he merely toyed with it in his hands before placing it back into his storage. He realized that he would need over ten million Essence to activate it—how long would that take?
At this moment, at Dragon Lake Academy, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui is talking with Little Red Fish.
Little Red Fish says to Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, "I just received information that this Guan Tian is very likely the same person as the Guan Yue who defeated you back then. He is being hunted by the royal family because he possesses Sky Peak Tower. Therefore, he has to change his identity. As for how he changed his appearance, it is still under investigation. Once he is confirmed to be Guan Yue, his life will be in danger."
Little Red Fish takes a breath and continues, "He once relied on Gambling on Stones in Nanyang City to produce divine artifacts, Celestial Soldiers, and Origin Tools. It caused a stir throughout the Yongning Continent. However, at that time, he was posing as a fortune teller."
"Gambling on Stones? He participated in Gambling on Stones?" Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui furrows her beautiful brows and asks, "What name did he use for Gambling on Stones?"
"Guan Tian." Little Red Fish had just returned from her master and was immediately pulled aside by her senior sister for questioning. She feels very hungry and tired. But Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui takes the information brought by Little Red Fish very seriously.
"Oh, no wonder I won against you; it turns out he has x-ray vision. This Guan Tian should not be underestimated." Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui immediately thinks of Guan Yue's x-ray vision ability.
However, she remains puzzled.
If he really is Guan Yue, there would be no need for him to take such a name that seems ambiguous. Is this really Guan Yue's character? Guan Yue was able to defeat her and also win in Gambling on Stones, indicating that his x-ray ability is exceptional. All of this shows that Guan Yue is not someone to be taken lightly.
But first, it must be confirmed whether Guan Yue and Guan Tian are the same person. If they are the same person, she needs to find a way to control him and make him work for her.
Thinking of this, a joyful smile appears on Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui's youthful face. Alright, let's investigate this person named Guan Yue first. Confirm whether Guan Yue is indeed Guan Tian.
This kind of challenging task is what Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui is most interested in. She is the most proactive in doing things, which often gives her master a headache!
