Chapter 226 Blue Duck Appears
Just as Lin Zhao had expected, Ji Wantang didn't stay inside for long before causing a big commotion. When she and the young man felt the ground tremble, they exchanged a glance.

The young man immediately covered his head and asked tremblingly, "Is Ji Wantang about to succeed?"

Lin Zhao frowned, not because he was unhappy, but because he felt that the commotion didn't seem like the sound of success.

Sure enough, the next moment, a bright red person was thrown out of the open door. Lin Zhao and the young man quickly recognized that it was the previously imposing Ji Wantang.

Even when she fought Shen Yuhan before, she had never seen Ji Wantang in such a disheveled state, covered in wounds, which, combined with her red dress, made her look as if she were covered in blood.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhao's pupils contracted, and the young man took a deep breath.

"How could this be?"

Lin Zhao's lips twitched: "Failed, didn't you? I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."

As Ji Wantang's defeated figure slowly disappeared at the gate, it was likely that she had used a teleportation talisman to leave due to her severe injuries, or that her soul was too badly injured and she needed to return to her physical body.

If it's the former, that's fine; if it's the latter...

If Lin Zhao remembered correctly, if the injury to the soul was this severe, without a year or two of recuperation, the Dao heart would easily be in trouble in the future.

Seeing this, the young man was still shaken. "Luckily we didn't go in."

Lin Zhao asked, "And now?"

The young man shook his head: "I don't have any other good points, except that I'm humble and have self-awareness. I'm not going. I plan to look around here for any bargains I can find."

Lin Zhao said, "Then you go, I want to go in and try."

After saying that, Lin Zhao moved so fast that only afterimages remained as he entered the door.

The young man stood there, watching the route Lin Zhao had taken, then slapped his forehead and sighed, "It's true what they say, you can't reason with a damned devil."

As soon as Lin Zhao entered the gate, he was plunged into darkness.

This might not mean much to ordinary people, but it's quite strange to cultivators, especially one in the Fusion stage.

Lin Zhao's spiritual perception remained in complete darkness.

"Young lady, you dare to come in with your level of cultivation?"

In the darkness, a melodious and light voice entered Lin Zhao's ears.

Lin Zhao immediately walked towards the source of the sound.

"Don't go any further, you'll fall into a pit."

As soon as the voice finished speaking, Lin Zhao lost his footing and fell straight down.

At this moment, Lin Zhao realized that something was wrong. Here, she seemed to have become an ordinary person with only her five senses being more acute.

Was Ji Wantang just like that too?
Lin Zhao reacted and tried to summon the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword. Fortunately, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword could still be summoned. So, in the darkness, she thrust the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword forward to cushion her fall. Using the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, she hung herself in the air somewhere unknown.

"Fortunately, I didn't neglect the body-refining technique." Lin Zhao tugged at the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, leaped up, and stood on the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.

"This little girl is quite clever."

The voice appeared again: "But if you don't go down, how will you know where the inheritance is?"

Lin Zhao wasn't falling for it: "If I can't summon my natal artifact, given the conditions here, I'd be lucky to survive or have half my soul destroyed."

The other person seemed surprised: "How did you know?"

Lin Zhao: "...Just guessing."

"Of course I won't pass on my inheritance to anyone who jumps into my trap," the voice said lightly. "But you're much worse than that little girl from before. She walked right through my trap and came straight to my inheritance. It's a pity, though her aptitude is excellent, she's not qualified." Lin Zhao sensed the regret in the other's voice and didn't speak. Instead, she kept feeling around the wall in front of her. After confirming that it was a bare earthen wall, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword transformed into two parallel longswords at her feet.

Lin Zhao pulled out one of the swords and used the two swords to climb back onto the ground.

After climbing to the ground, Lin Zhao ignored the voice no matter what it said, instead pondering how she could find the Blue Duck's legacy in such an environment.

Although the sound was incredibly noisy, it reminded Lin Zhao that the inheritance was nearby.

Where will it be?
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up as he thought of something, and he immediately tried to activate his Phoenix Luck. The next moment, an ancient phoenix radiating a faint purple light appeared in Lin Zhao's field of vision.

With the help of the purple phoenix's light, Lin Zhao was able to see some of the surrounding scenery.

This was a very simple tomb, with bare walls all around, except for a huge coffin on the east side.

She pondered for a moment, then walked toward the coffin.

The coffin was uncovered, and Lin Zhao looked at the empty interior and fell silent.

"You've found it. Now lie down in it and see if you're qualified."

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment: "Why didn't you say earlier that you wanted someone with the Phoenix Luck or the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline?"

The blue duck replied cheerfully, "I thought that setting up that secret realm that only these two types of people could enter was to tell you the answer. Okay, enough of this nonsense, let's go in quickly."

Lin Zhao chuckled lightly: "This coffin is for you, what would I do sitting in it?"

After saying that, Lin Zhao looked at the Purple Phoenix on his shoulder: "Turn into a lid."

She can no longer mobilize her spiritual energy, but she should be able to use some of the purple phoenix formed from her phoenix luck.

Purple Phoenix flew down from her shoulder, intertwined with purple light, and the huge purple coffin lid slowly fell down.

The blue gyrfalcon's voice rang out again: "Although your cultivation is weak, you are still quite polite."

A flash of light appeared beneath Lin Zhao's feet, and the next moment, she found herself seemingly back beside the waterfall in the secret realm.

No, it's not a secret realm?
Lin Zhao looked at her somewhat transparent fingers.

"This is the real tomb I built for myself with my soul."

The melodious voice rang out again beside Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao turned her head to look.

A girl with braided pigtails sat beside her. She had a sweet face and a lively temperament, and looked like an ordinary girl next door, with no resemblance to the legendary mythical bird, the Blue Fly.

"Aren't you surprised to see me?" the blue duck chuckled.

Lin Zhao withdrew his gaze and looked at the waterfall over there.
In the secret realm, and even in this real cemetery, there is this waterfall. What does it represent?

Within the Blue Duck's secret realm, Lin Zhao's every move was under her control.

Knowing Lin Zhao's doubts, she smiled and said.

"Because my father was a merman. He was once the little prince of the merman clan. He fell in love with my mother at first sight. After learning that she had a phoenix husband, he was willing to give up his position as the heir of the merman clan and follow my mother, becoming one of the phoenix husbands unknown to the world."

The blue duck rested its chin on its hand: "Later, my father took me to guard this place so that my mother wouldn't be so worried. But the evil thoughts from the other world were too strong. My father died while guarding this place, leaving only me. Later, I failed to live up to my mother's expectations."

Lin Zhao was silent.

"You have the scent of your mother and Aunt Baihuang on you, so you must have been approved by them."
