Chapter 696   - 696: Do You Really Not Want The Inheritance?

At the Sun Moon Peak, Bi Zhu carefully searched the area but found nothing.

She began to doubt whether the Xuanyuan Sword was actually here.

“Both Xing and Xuanyuan Tai said it’s here. They can’t both be wrong. So, why can’t I find it?” Bi Zhu frowned.

If it was just a regular hiding place, she and the Blackheaven Sect would have discovered it long ago.

Xuanyuan Tai would have found it too because he was about to become the Grand Earth Emperor. The fact that Xuanyuan Tai hadn’t found it meant that the location of the Xuanyuan Sword was far from simple.

“Where could it be?” Bi Zhu couldn’t sense anything.

Time was running out, and she had no other options. She reluctantly took out the stone tablet and entered it. She called for Xing and Liu.

After a while, a figure appeared in the public area. It was Xing.

“Gui, have you run into any difficulties?” asked Xing with a smile.

“The Grand Earth Emperor is about to appear, but there’s an issue. To make the Xuanyuan Sword emerge, I need to set up the Burning Immortal Formation,” Gui said.

“So…what’s the problem?” Xing asked in confusion.

“The problem is that I can’t find the Xuanyuan Sword,” Gui said.

“I see.” Xing nodded. “It’s challenging to find the Xuanyuan Sword. The fact that the Xuanyuan Clan couldn’t find it for so long means that conventional methods won’t work. So, we can use the Burning Immortal Formation. Since that requires the core of the Burning Immortal Formation, it means that the formation is part of the location. You can use the method of tracing the Burning Immortal Formation to determine the exact location.”

“How will I do that?” Gui asked.

“I will find a way to help you locate the pattern of the Burning Immortal Formation,” Xing said.

A little while later, Bi Zhu once again started her task in the Sun Moon Peak. With another formation in her palm, she searched for the pattern of the Burning Immortal Formation.

It eventually showed her that the formation was the mountain’s base.

“It was hidden all this time. It is no wonder we couldn’t find it anywhere!”

As she approached the base, she realized that the magic on it was incomprehensible.

“How will I get in now?” Bi Zhu was cautious and patient.

On top of the Sun Moon Peak, she sensed the flow of great fortune, which meant that the Grand Earth Emperor was about to accept the blessing of the Mountain and Sea.

“I hope I can make it in time.”

Seeing that the True Dragon had agreed, Jiang Hao felt relieved.

This was the Xuanyuan Sword, and it deserved respect. If he wasn’t allowed to clean it, he wouldn’t dare to approach it.

“My apologies,” Jiang Hao said and cautiously approached the Xuanyuan Sword. He gently gripped the hilt of the sword. Then, he exerted a little force.

Clang!

The sword hummed slightly as he drew it out.

‘Huh?’

The True Dragon stood still and wondered if its memory was working right. It forgot that it had just suppressed the power of the sword, and that was why the human could draw it from the floor.

Although the Xuanyuan Sword showed no aura of power, it was still very formidable. This human shouldn’t have been able to draw it so easily.

The True Dragon silently observed Jiang Hao.

At that moment, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged and placed the sword on his lap. He then took out a delicate cloth that he often used to clean his Primordial Heavenly Blade.

It seemed he knew how to clean the Xuanyuan Sword.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao gently wiped the sword.

As he continued to wipe, blue bubbles fell and were absorbed in his body.

[Cultivation +1]

Jiang Hao smiled and continued to clean.

Blue bubbles kept appearing.

[Cultivation +1] [Lifeblood +1]

[Lifeblood +1]

As he continued wiping it, the rusty sword began to shine.

The True Dragon watched as the person before him cleaned the sword in joy. As the sword became radiant, the person seemed a bit reluctant.

Throughout history, the True Dragon had never seen anyone look with such emotions at the Xuanyuan Sword.

As the Xuanyuan Sword became clean, it vibrated as though it had been reborn from decay.

Jiang Hao smiled, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit melancholic.

He got up and returned the sword to its original position. Now, the Xuanyuan Sword was gleaming in grandeur.

“You really don’t plan to take the sword?” asked the True Dragon. “Of course not, ” said Jiang Hao. “I don’t think I’m capable.”

It wasn’t a matter of strength or good and evil intentions. It was about ambition.

“Is that so? You’re the first one to come here and claim to not want anything. You truly don’t want anything?” asked the True Dragon.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and smiled. “I entered this place accidentally, and I’ve never thought of taking the sword for myself. I already have what I wanted the most.”

“What about an inheritance? You don’t want the Human Emperor’s inheritance, but maybe you could have mine,” said the True Dragon.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “I have enough. Even if I get your inheritance, I

might not be able to live up to its name.”

“Do you really have no desires?” asked the True Dragon in disbelief.

“I do, but my aspirations lie elsewhere,” Jiang Hao said truthfully. “I used to dislike humans, and now I dislike them even more. In the past, humans would beg me for my inheritance, but now, they don’t want it even when I offer it for free,” said the True Dragon in disdain.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, Senior.”

He then took two steps back. The formation had suddenly lit up. It meant someone was approaching.

“The Xuanyuan Sword is about to emerge. What are you going to do, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

There wasn’t much time left before someone found their way inside.

“I will enter the Xuanyuan Sword and sleep. Maybe someone will awaken me again. Perhaps we might meet again then,” said the True Dragon.

“I understand.” Jiang Hao nodded.

The Grand Earth Emperor was Xuanyuan Tai, so they would indeed meet again unless Xuanyuan Tail s attempt to become the Grand Earth Emperor failed. magic

“Do you really not want my inheritance?” asked the True Dragon once more.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

“Indeed, I can’t help but dislike humans,” said the True Dragon. It then entered the sword and fell into a deep slumber.

Jiang Hao watched for a while and then placed the purple bead on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he used the Seven-Star Seal to seal it.

If the person, who was approaching, was Gui, she would know that this was a temporary seal and could remove it.

The bead was contaminated, and Jiang Hao lacked the ability to cleanse it, so he had to leave it to someone else.

Gui was highly capable and should be able to handle it. After that, he left.

“Senior,” said Feng Wei respectfully. He had heard everything inside, and he felt a deep respect for Jiang Hao, even more than before.

“I’m leaving,” Jiang Hao said.

Feng Wei looked regretful for a moment but quickly regained his composure. “There’s… something I’d like to ask you, Senior.”

“Go ahead,” Jiang Hao said.

“I used to be from the Heavenly Note Sect. I had a difficult time there and was desperate. At that time, a junior extended a helping hand and gave me the courage to continue. This junior seemed to have good talent and should have successfully built his foundation by now. However, his personality didn’t fit in well with the sect. He might have been… killed,” Feng Wei said.

He took out a dagger and cut open a slit in his waist. A bottle of pills covered in various formations appeared.

Feng Wei reluctantly took the bottle out and cleaned it before handing it to

Jiang Hao. “This is the Heaven Rejuvenating Pill that I had saved for myself. Since I have no hope, I want to request you, Senior, to make a trip to the

Heavenly Note Sect on my behalf. If that junior is still alive, please give it to him. If he’s… dead, you can keep it for yourself, Senior.”

Jiang Hao took the bottle, opened it, and looked inside. It was indeed a Heaven

Rejuvenating Pill.

“Who is that person?” Jiang Hao asked.

“His name is Jiang Hao. He is from the Cliff of Broken Hearts,” said Feng Wei.

Jiang Hao looked at the pill and sighed. “I’ll do it.”

“Thank you..”
