Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Underwater Waterfall, Acquiring the Legacy_2
Seeing Yang Ji's intimidation and the display of his formidable strength, the Ancient Qiu Trees and Devil's Mushrooms dared not attack him any longer. Driven by their instinct to survive, they scattered and ran, comically disappearing from sight in no time at all.
Yang Ji gave a faint smile, not bothering with them anymore, and immediately headed towards the stone array.
With the ability of the Golden Finger, he quickly passed through the stone array, and now once again stood at the end of the underground world, facing a rock wall with no path ahead.
Yang Ji glanced forward, and the "Spatial Transmission Restriction" and "Invisibility Restriction" emerged.
"Transmission condition, the destined one who has cultivated the Humanoid Weaponry Volume One to completion."
Without further hesitation, Yang Ji activated his cultivation technique, and his body emanated golden light. As the golden light touched the "Invisibility Restriction", ripples of light twisted, revealing a semi-transparent wall of air before him.
Yang Ji knew that the "Spatial Transmission Restriction" hidden under the "Invisibility Restriction" had appeared.
He immediately exerted his full force to activate his cultivation technique and pressed his hand toward the Spatial Transmission Restriction.
In an instant, the Spatial Transmission Restriction produced a suction force and firmly locked onto him.
Then, an invisible force entered his body, scanning him back and forth like a Divine Sense.
Yang Ji felt as if he were as exposed as a naked maid, thoroughly scrutinized. Soon, an even greater suction force enveloped his entire body.
With a pop, it was as if his whole body was sucked into a bubble of water, and then he was pushed out from the other side.
Yang Ji knew that he had passed through the restrictions. He now looked forward, realizing that behind the spatial transmission restriction lay a hidden paradise.
As far as the eye could see, the area measured several acres, shrouded in a mist made of dense Spiritual Energy, with houses of various sizes built in a scattered but orderly fashion.
Outside the houses, the ground was paved with bluestone, the fragrance of flowers and plants filled the air, and there were ponds and pavilions, with springs babbling—an abundance of features.
Indeed, it was a tranquil and leisurely place, an excellent spot for secluded cultivation.
Yang Ji looked around, and various pieces of information appeared: "Spirit Gathering Array," "Fish Pond," "Flower Garden," "Kitchen," "Herb Garden," "Vegetable Garden," "Tide Listening Room," "Place of Inheritance," "Alchemy Room," "Artifact Refining Room."
Seeing this information, Yang Ji couldn't help but rotate his eyes and silently exclaimed that Fu Dongliu, his predecessor, truly knew how to enjoy life.
A typical person seeking secluded cultivation wouldn't bother with these fanciful things, just finding a quiet place to meditate for hundreds of years, but it seemed those who take delight in the rituals of life may grasp the Dao more profoundly.
After carefully surveying the area and confirming that there was no danger, Yang Ji headed straight for the "Place of Inheritance."
He crossed through the quaint houses, pushed open the doors, and before his eyes lay a mat with bizarre patterns holding three shining Jade Slips.
His gaze swept over them, and information displayed: "Sensing Mat," "Humanoid Weaponry Volume Two," "Humanoid Weaponry Volume Three," "Humanoid Weaponry Volume Four."
Yang Ji didn't rush to act and thoroughly surveyed the room once more. Not until he entered the room and held the three Jade Slips in his hand did he still find himself in a state of doubt.
Is this how I obtain the inheritance?
This is too easy!
If it weren't for the Golden Finger indicating there were no dangers, if it weren't for the Golden Finger confirming that what he held was indeed a cultivation technique, he wouldn't believe that he could obtain the inheritance this easily.
After quietly reflecting for a while, Yang Ji also came to understand that the competition and dangers were not here, but would come from other inheritors like him.
It's just that his fortune was profound; the earthquake had prematurely broken through the outer Spatial Restrictions and opened up the Cave Mansion. Otherwise, in a few decades, whether he could snatch the inheritance from the hands of many inheritors was still uncertain.
But now, he was overjoyed, unreservedly taking the Jade Slips for himself.
The feeling of picking fruit early was delightful indeed.
He wondered what the other inheritors would think decades later when they arrived here, only to discover that the inheritance had already been taken ahead of time. How would they feel?
Probably, their faces would turn dark.
With this thought in mind, Yang Ji couldn't help but let a smug smile appear at the corner of his mouth.
After securing the Jade Slips, he glanced at the mat with the strange patterns, the Sensing Mat. In a few decades, it would send out a signal for the inheritance, attracting other inheritors.
This was a hot potato that one shouldn't take.
Yang Ji just looked at it briefly before looking away, then headed for the nearby "Herb Garden."
But inside, there was nothing at all, not even a single blade of grass, though a dense Spiritual Energy lingered due to the presence of no fewer than three Spirit Gathering Arrays.
The intricate array patterns were carved with Dao Runes and were impossible to lay out even if one understood them. Yang Ji glanced at it a couple times, memorized the general patterns, and left the Herb Garden to continue towards the adjacent "Vegetable Garden."
He was curious about what sort of vegetables such a great figure would eat, but to his disappointment, it was just as empty, save for a patch of Spirit Soil.
Then, he followed the trail deeper inside.
He quickly passed through the "Kitchen," "Fish Pond," "Flower Garden," and "Tide Listening Room."
All these places were empty as well, without even a kitchen knife left behind.
Yang Ji couldn't help feeling frustrated, so he looked up and walked even further in.
There were two places left: the "Alchemy Room" and the "Artifact Refining Room."
Yang Ji looked up towards the Alchemy Room, and as information appeared, he felt a jolt through his body.
"Alchemy Room," "Nine-Transformation Golden Pill," "Nine-Transformation Golden Pill," "Nine-Transformation Golden Pill"...
His vision was filled with the information about the Nine-Transformation Golden Pills.
Yang Ji's eyes nearly popped out.
He flew towards the Pill Room and, the moment he pushed the door open, a flood of golden light surprised him. The whole room was filled with floating golden Medicine Pills, their Pill Fragrance overwhelming, a scene that crazily stimulated his eyes.
