Chapter 409 - Lord Bai’s Heritage

Beside the insect mother queen and Lord Bai, there were many battles marks left behind by the strong and powerful skills; even after such a long time, some of the stronger skills were still active. It lent a deadlier air to the bloody battlefield.

Even a god wouldn’t be able to withstand those skills!

A distance away from the center of the battlefield, there was a teleportation portal that was linked to another planet.

Through the portal, they could see a planet that was larger than the Ancestral Star. The planet was also pockmarked with craters of various sizes all over its surface.

There was no ocean in the planet, and it looked like a wretched ball.

In the sky, they could also see clouds formed by the insects, flying above the ground and on the surface of the planet, there were the large and towering buildings, majestic temples, and mountainous insect god statues!

This was a planet of the insect race!

It was connected to the Ancestral Star, and this ice palace in the Frozen Ancient Capital was the nexus between the two!

“Interesting, very interesting!”

Xin Huo scanned the surroundings through Zhong Yue's eyes and said, "Ah, so this is what happened - someplace on the insect planet has overlapped with the dimension that the Ancestral Star is located in. It must be due to the insect god's skills that had opened a path to the Ancestral Star, falling right on the North Barren, right in Lord Bai's Frozen Ancient Capital, and Lord Bai sensed all of this. Thus, the ice palace was built, and layers of seals were put into place to prevent the insect race from infiltrating to the Ancestral Star. Then, he went over and fought with the queen mother, killing her but also dying himself!"

Zhong Yue nodded and softly said, "Lord Bai ... he really died in battle, these seals are not to leave the heritage behind but to seal the insect race away. His purpose was clear. And that was to prevent the insects from entering the Bai Zhe Clan territory."

He then looked at Bai Shuyue and said softly, "But death came upon him too quick. Lord Bai died in the battle without being able to tell the Bai Zhe Clan. His descendants then explored the ice palace in search of a non-existent heritage. And because of this, countless of your race's experts died here in vain.

Bai Shuyue's face blanched, and a profound sadness filled her eyes. She stared at Lord Bai's corpse, and her aura undulated violently.

Lord Bai, the grand ancestor of a great race, and a godly marquis of the ancient West Barren Imperial Court, had died in a battle against the insect race's queen mother for the survival of the Bai Zhe Clan. And yet, it was only after 50,000 years that his descendants would come to understand his sacrifice.

This was a great tragedy, countless Bai Zhe experts had entered the ice palace in the hope of obtaining Lord Bai's heritage, and because of this, one talent after another was killed. Eventually, resentment built up against Lord Bai for leaving behind such a vicious test. They all questioned why he hadn't just passed down his heritage to the Bai Zhe Clan directly?

But now, every question and doubt were made clear with this revelation.

It wasn't that Lord Bai didn't want to leave his heritage behind, but that death came way too quickly before he could explain.

However, even so, he had placed down three layers of seals and an array formation that could even kill the gods all so that he could protect his people even after death.

Suddenly, Bai Shuyue mumbled to herself, "No, no … Lord Bai left his heritage behind. He did, they are hiding in the skills he left behind on the battlefield. On this piece of land, these skills contain his totem patterns!"

She mumbled, "His heritage is still here!"

Her eyes were then filled with enthusiasm as she said, "I can study the skills here, I can attain his knowledge and recreate Lord Bai's heritage!"

While on the other hand, Zhong Yue shook his head and sighed. Even Zhong Yue himself with the divine third eye couldn't comprehend the knowledge and totem patterns in these leftover skills in a short time, let alone Bai Shuyue who didn't have the divine third eye.

She might not even be able to understand all of the skills even if she were to spend the rest of her life here.

Just as he thought about it, a bright ray of light blasted over like a rainbow bridge from the other end of the battlefield and shone right on Bai Shuyue's forehead.

The power of the light ray lifted Bai Shuyue into the air as if there were an invisible hand pulling her up from the ground. Then, more of these rainbow light rays blasted toward Bai Shuyue from every corner of the battlefield!

Zhong Yue was shocked, and just as he was going to pull her down, Xin Huo stopped him and shouted, "Don't! This is the little girl's fortune! Lord Bai's scattered soul is still lingering in this battlefield. He must have felt the aura of his own people. Lord Bai's scattered soul is passing all of his heritage into Bai Shuyue!"

“Lord Bai’s scattered soul?”

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he watched as the rainbow rays flashing across the sky disappeared into Bai Shuyue's forehead. Meanwhile, on Lord Bai's corpse, his wretched phantom was floating above it, looking at Bai Shuyue.

This celestial was slowly fading away. It wasn't hard for Zhong Yue to deduce his identity as Lord Bai.

His spirit was utterly destroyed, and even with the Bai Zhe Clan worshipping him as much as they could, it was still useless. The insect queen mother certainly possessed some means that could vanquish spirits.

However, there was an obsession he could never let go even after death, and this was what tethered this fragmentary piece of his soul to the mortal plane. Now, with his final wish being successfully carried out, his scattered soul began to disperse.

A god that was killed in the way he was would not be able to send his spirit into the Void World anymore, because the spirit and soul were destroyed entirely.

Zhong Yue sighed and then bowed at Lord Bai's scattered soul; although Lord Bai did it for the Bai Zhe Clan, his actions also saved the whole Ancestral Star.

If these insects entered the Ancestral Star, the whole planet would be turned like the insect planet, the landscape would change, and the world would become devoured by the insects. In the end, nothing would be left behind except for the insects and a ravaged planet.

The bright rays kept flashing across the sky, and Bai Shuyue's aura grew increasingly strong. All of a sudden, her inner core flew out and the rainbow rays curled around it, refining her inner core!

“This little girl is just so lucky!”

Xin Huo exclaimed, "Lord Bai's scattered soul is refining her inner core, strengthening her foundation and rectifying any flaws in her cultivation!"

Zhong Yue could also feel Bai Shuyue's rising aura as her cultivation base was steadily increasing. A lord-level deity, even though he was only a scattered soul, could still bring unimaginably huge benefits to Bai Shuyue!

With the fact that Bai Shuyue had acquired Lord Bai's heritage, she was destined to be the next clan master of the Bai Zhe Clan. She was initially just half a step away from the Heavenly Dharma level, but and after her inner core had undergone the refinement, she would break through to the next cultivation level in just the next few days!

Zhong Yue grew envious as he thought, In addition to the heritage of Lord Bai and his cultivation technique, she would be one of the strongest Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners in this world!

This was really a fortune one could ever dream of, although Zhong Yue was envious of her, he felt no resentment at all. This was meant for only Bai Shuyue, the fortune belonged to the Bai Zhe Clan, and in contrast to the powerful races, Zhong Yue had his own path to walk. He knew his own direction and was taking one step after another toward his goal with staunch conviction. He believed that even without any heritages, he would not be any weaker than her in the same cultivation level!

After a long time, Lord Bai's scattered soul had finally faded away, and the rainbow rays slowly dispersed before the last light of the rainbow rays disappeared into Bai Shuyue's forehead. The Bai Zhe Clan lady slowly returned to the ground, and her eyes were tightly shut as if she were asleep.

Moments later, she opened her eyes, and they flashed with a divine light.

Zhong Yue laughed and said, “Congratulations, Senior Martial Sister Shuyue.”

Bai Shuyue thanked him, and she said, "If it weren't for you, Senior Martial Brother Zhong, I wouldn't be able to obtain my grand ancestor, Lord Bai's heritage at all. Shuyue has said before. I will share the heritage of Lord Bai with senior martial brother; if you don't mind, you and I can study it together."

She raised her finger and elegantly touched on his forehead, a surge of psyche billowed into Zhong Yue's mind, and an abstruse cultivation technique was imprinted into his memory.

Zhong Yue's heart was in awe as he looked at the cultivation technique Bai Shuyue have passed onto him. It was one that contained 11,520 visualization picture arts!

Drawn on these visualization picture arts were many celestial gods. They covered over 11,520 celestial races!

The【Million God Ice Saint Art】!

A cultivation technique that included over ten thousand gods in it, with every forte and weakness of the many celestial races detailed within. With the knowledge granted by the cultivation technique, one wouldn't be hard to defeat someone a level above themselves!

However, there was a huge difference between the【Million God Ice Saint Art】that was given to him by Bai Shuyue and the one passed onto Bai Shuyue by Lord Bai. After all, Bai Shuyue was just an Inner Core Qi Practitioner. It was only her own understandings of the【Million God Ice Saint Art】that were passed to Zhong Yue, they weren't that profound and of course, incomparable to Lord Bai's.

Even so, Zhong Yue was still satisfied. He wasn't going to cultivate the【Million God Ice Saint Art】at all, only taking it as a reference.

With this【Million God Ice Saint Art】, my【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】can be strengthened even further. My attainments in the skill can also be heightened to a new level! Zhong Yue thought to himself.

The two of them stared at the battlefield and also at the insect planet on the other end before soon turning around and walking back the way they came. Zhong Yue cast out the Shao Hao Bell, and they walked into the ice tower, traipsing through the sea of ice flame again.

Shao Hao Bell's power reached Zhong Yue again and shielded them on their way back. They crossed shoulders with the many frozen gods, but when they walked past the last Bai Zhe god, Zhong Yue raised his eyebrows and stopped.

Bai Shuyue looked at him curiously while Zhong Yue moved again, he walked around the gigantic Bai Zhe god and said, “Senor Martial Sister Shuyue, do you notice it?”

Bai Shuyue frowned and asked back, “Notice what?”

“He moved.”

Zhong Yue's eyes were slowly brightening, and he said, "Also, there were no ice shards on the ground when we came, but now there are a few … these ice shards must have been those that were on this Bai Zhe senior's back and legs. They fell off when he moved…"

“You are saying that…” Bai Shuyue’s eyes were also brightening, she asked.

Zhong Yue laughed and nodded, "This god of yours, he is still alive! After we left, he must have broken part of the ice and taken a step before he was frozen again!"

Bai Shuyue's heart thumped in joy, and she implored, "If he is still alive, can Senior Martial Brother Zhong please save him out from this ice palace?"

Zhong Yue raised his head and measured the Bai Zhe god's size. He shook his head and said, "He is too big, my Shao Hao Bell can't cover him inside. Then, he is also frozen by the ice flame. It is incredibly hard to move him, at least, not with our abilities. Other than that…"

He flipped his hand, and the Luminant Sun Gold appeared on his hand, he then said, "I can try to melt the ice shards that are freezing his legs."

Bai Shuyue tensed up and quickly said, "Please be careful!"

Zhong Yue then gathered all of his might up, and the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen flew into the Luminant Sun Gold, causing the sunfire to burn even greater vigor. The ice shards were quickly melted away!

The ice shards were melting, and after some time, they all melted away. left only with the Bai Zhe god's legs frozen in the ice.

Zhong Yue continued melting the ice away, and in just a few moments, the smell of roasted meat filled the air, and Bai Shuyue shouted, "Senior martial brother, you've burned his leg … Ah, you’ve amputated them!”

Zhong Yue blushed, and he said apologetically, "I didn't know his mortal couldn't withstand the sunfire … But it's just two legs. Maybe the gods can grow them back again."

Bai Shuyue was between laughter and tears, and she replied, "The Bai Zhe Clan are not lizards, how can our legs be regrown?"

Zhong Yue's face blushed even more, and he quickly said, "Now, we can bring him out."

Bai Shuyue was helpless and the two youngsters each grabbed onto the god's legs while they dragged him along as they walked toward the outside.

"Senior martial brother, when we get out, remember not to say it was you that broke his legs," the young lady thought and said.
