"Hehe!"

Gu Hui's face showed a smile, "If that were not the case, how could it be called the inheritance of a Divine Being? The body of a Divine Being has already undergone changes, under certain circumstances, even a drop of blood can bring about rebirth."

"Compared to rebirth from a drop of blood, what's leaving an inheritance in the bloodline?"

"Some descendants of Divine Beings are even born as Divine Spirits."

"And don't forget, 'incense fire' has another meaning, which refers to descendants. For divine entities, as long as they are strong enough, even if they die themselves, as long as there are descendants and the bloodline remains, there is a possibility of rebirth."

"This..."

Gu Hui's words left Xiao Mu at a loss for a moment about how to respond. Having cultivated to his current stage, his form of life had already undergone huge changes, and it was vastly different from that of regular mortals.

It's indeed full of contradictions to think about Divine Spirits from the perspective of mortals.

The Divine Monarch Wu De was sealed, lost his Divine Body, but could be reborn through a Sculpted Image and setting up a temple.

The Emperor Miaoyi had only his will left and still had the possibility of resurrection.

Qi Xie not only lost his body but also his soul was incomplete. With only one soul and one spirit, he still lived well and could even burst forth with astonishing strength.

Compared to these three individuals, what Gu Hui said about Divine Beings leaving inheritance in their own bloodline for their descendants didn't seem that significant.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but ask Gu Hui out of curiosity, "What inheritance did the Yang Divine Being leave in his bloodline?"

"Hard to say."

Gu Hui shook his head, "Before Yang Jun inherits it, none of us can say for sure what inheritance Yang Yuan left in his bloodline for his descendants."

"But Yang Yuan once served under the Lord of White Mansion and was related to him. Helping him to receive the inheritance is helpful in our search for the Lord of White Mansion, or at least in finding some clues."

That made sense.

Xiao Mu nodded, and although he didn't continue to respond, he inwardly agreed with Gu Hui's opinion.

In any case, it was to the benefit of the entire Alliance to have Yang Jun receive the inheritance, and it would be advantageous to him as well.

Besides, he couldn't help but think of Yuan Lin.

Yuan Lin's bloodline also had an ancient breath; he should be a descendant of an Ancient Divine Being like Yang Jun. If Yang Jun could inherit ancient legacies from his bloodline, Yuan Lin should be able to as well.

If possible, what kind of Ancient Divine Being inheritance did Yuan Lin receive? Was it related to his father Yuan Wei's specialty in sculpting Divine Beings?

Gu Hui's words made Xiao Mu think of many questions.

However, after a moment, he set these questions aside and replied to Gu Hui, "I will take appropriate care of him."

Xiao Mu didn't make any firm promises, whether he could take care of Yang Jun ultimately depended on chance and the situation; he would never make promises rashly.

"I'm counting on you," Gu Hui said with gratitude as he glanced at Xiao Mu.

"You're welcome."

"Yang Jun, you take Xiao Xiao to the Putuo Domain for a visit. Once you get to the Putuo Domain, seek out the Domain Master Hao Qing and request information on the recent activities of the Life and Death Sect. Remember, this is of great importance; do not slack off."

After finishing his conversation with Xiao Mu, Gu Hui began to give Yang Jun his solemn instructions.

"Yes, Elder Gu. Please rest assured, Elder Gu; I will complete the task you have entrusted to me," Yang Jun responded with seriousness.

"Go!"

Gu Hui instructed with a smile.

Xiao Mu took his leave from Gu Hui and followed Yang Jun out of Gu Hui's office.

"Brother Xiao, I have long heard of your great name. The merits you have earned in the South Five Regions and Azure Sky City fill me with genuine admiration," Yang Jun said.

After leaving Gu Hui's office, Yang Jun began to open up like a floodgate, and soon brought up Xiao Mu's merits with a tone of admiration.

"Brother Yang is too generous, I merely had good luck in achieving those merits,"

said Xiao Mu modestly, before casually asking, "Does Brother Yang know what your esteemed ancestor Yang Yuan was known for?"

"I don't know much about my ancestors, and most of what I know comes from the records of the Alliance."

Upon hearing Xiao Mu mention his ancestor, Yang Jun immediately showed a proud expression, clearly proud of his forebear, "According to the Alliance's records, my ancestor Yang Yuan was a great general under the command of the Lord of Bai's Mansion. Although he joined the Lord of Bai's Mansion's side only at the end of the Ancient Great War, he still contributed significantly to the human world's war. Whether it was the battle against the Curse Ancestor, the battle against the Undying Divine Sovereign, the Yin and Yang Divine Sovereign, or the Five Elements Ancestor, my Yang family's ancestor took part in all of them."

Xiao Mu was taken aback; had Yang Jun not mentioned it himself, he would never have thought that Yang Yuan had participated in the great battles between the Lord of Bai's Mansion, and the Curse Ancestor, the Undying Divine Sovereign, Yin and Yang Divine Sovereign, and the Five Elements Ancestor.

It seemed that this ancestor of the Yang family likely held a much higher position than Xiao Mu had originally imagined.

"Does Brother Yang know what responsibilities Yang Yuan held under the Lord of Bai's Mansion?"

Xiao Mu was very curious about Yang Yuan's experiences and hoped to learn more about the Lord of Bai's Mansion through his deeds.

"I know some, but not much. My ancestor was an expert in arrays, and many of the Great Arrays laid down by the Lord of Bai's Mansion were created by him. For example, Brother Xiao must be aware of the Underworld Ghost Spring beneath Ge Earth God's mansion in the Cuiyun Mountain Region..."

Yang Jun spoke with pride in his voice, and when he mentioned the Underworld Ghost Spring, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Mu.

"The Underworld Ghost Spring?"

Xiao Mu exclaimed in surprise. The Underworld Ghost Spring was the Great Array used by the Lord of Bai's Mansion to seal the Curse Ancestor. It was originally a treasure vault, but it was temporarily converted into a prison to seal the Curse Ancestor.

"So the Great Array of the Underworld Ghost Spring was actually crafted by Yang Yuan."

Xiao Mu sighed deeply, holding Yang Yuan in even higher esteem.

The array of the Underworld Ghost Spring was able to seal a being like the Curse Ancestor—a near-True God—for fifty thousand years.

Even if Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying hadn't used the Spirit Key to open the Treasure Vault from the outside, the Great Array of the Underworld Ghost Spring would still not have been opened, and the Curse Ancestor would have continued to be sealed.

The capabilities of Yang Yuan were even more formidable than Xiao Mu had imagined.

Xiao Mu had thought he had already held Yang Yuan in high regard, but after listening to Yang Jun's words, he realized that his own respect for him was still not enough.

"The arrays set up by my ancestor aren't limited to the Underworld Ghost Spring alone. It's just that our Alliance lacks records of the Ancient Great War. There are many arrays whose existence we know about but not their locations,"

Yang Jun seemed to find his area of expertise when it came to arrays, and he talked at length, "Just like Brother Xiao surely knows, both the Five Elements Ancestor of the Five Elements Sect and the Yin and Yang Divine Sovereign of the Yin Yang Sect were sealed by the Lord of Bai's Mansion. The locations of their sealed lands were designed by my ancestor's arrays."

"Unfortunately, although our Alliance knows that these two were sealed, we do not know the exact locations where they were sealed."

At this point, Yang Jun suddenly paused before expressing his regret, "Actually, even if we found the sealed lands, it would be useless. Without knowing the method to break the arrays, our Alliance does not have the capability to break through the Great Arrays."

The Great Arrays set up by Yang Yuan were indeed formidable; without the correct method to break the array, it would be difficult even for True Gods to break through.

Only, what exactly did Yang Yuan leave in his bloodline as a legacy, and was it related to arrays?

Xiao Mu's thoughts raced, and he suddenly glanced at Yang Jun, "Is Brother Yang seeking a Divine Spirits' office?"

Upon hearing the four words "Divine Spirits' office," Yang Jun's face turned somewhat sorrowful, and the spirited demeanor he had when mentioning his ancestor's achievements faded away, "My realm is a little too low. It'll be difficult to obtain a Divine Spirits' office before stepping into the Divine Spirits Realm."

The Divine Spirits' offices in the Great Tang Ruins are a scarce resource. Wu Yan, after stepping into the Divine Spirits Realm, went without his own office for a long time.

While it is true that Cui Yan had an office earlier, it was only for a Kitchen God—a minor role among the Yin Gods.

Yang Jun, who was at the Mid Yin God Realm, not having an office was only to be expected.

Xiao Mu then said, "Can a Divine Spirits' office help Brother Yang obtain the ancient heritage from within his bloodline?"

Yang Jun nodded, "There are many descendants of Divine Beings in the human world, yet not many have hidden legacies in their bloodline."

"Most of the children of Divine Beings were born before their parents became Divine Spirits, so the legacy couldn't be passed down through the bloodline. But as long as it has been passed down, it can be obtained through the bloodline."

"However, Divine Spirits' legacies are not all equal. Some are easily obtained, while others are extremely difficult to obtain. The legacy left by my ancestor is one of those that are difficult to obtain; I cannot touch it before I become a Divine Spirit."
