Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 221 King of Wu
In the vast plaza, Zhang Yi stood quietly before the 6333rd stone pillar, after he used his divine power to perfectly outline the three-dimensional phantom of the pillar.

The refined-looking middle-aged general reappeared in the square.

"Congratulations, you have passed the test perfectly."

The general said with a broad smile.

"Come with me."

After the general finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Yi to react.

A dark spatial entrance appeared, and he was directly pulled into the spatial entrance by an invisible force, with the general following closely behind.

Standing outside a palace radiating dazzling light, Zhang Yi gazed at the massive and majestic palace. On the palace's plaque were three large characters, the style of which was the same as that of the previous Yi Jiu Palace.

Wu King's Palace!
These are the characters engraved on the plaque.

Whoosh! The general appeared beside Zhang Yi. He also looked up at the huge plaque, his eyes filled with complex emotions and a hint of relief.

"Your Majesty, I have succeeded. I have found the best successor for you."

After saying that, he turned to Zhang Yi and said, "Go in."

The general walked respectfully toward the palace. As he approached the palace gates, the gates slowly opened, and he stepped inside.

Zhang Yi followed closely behind and entered the magnificent palace.

Inside the main hall stood a throne radiating an eerie light, silently suspended in mid-air.

"Zhang Yi, human, I ask you again, are you willing to accept the legacy of the Wu Kingdom?" The general stared at Zhang Yi and asked slowly.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yi asked, "General, are there any additional conditions for accepting the Wu Kingdom's legacy?"

"No," the general replied succinctly.

“Then I am willing to accept the inheritance.”

“Alright, since that’s the case, before you begin receiving the inheritance, let me first introduce my Wu Kingdom to you,” the general said with a smile.

"Among the countless kingdoms of ancient civilization, my Wu Kingdom was quite powerful, and at its peak, it had three top experts. King Wu was the founder of Wu Kingdom and also the most powerful being in Wu Kingdom."

"Even the most powerful third-generation patriarch of the Duan Donghe lineage is not as good as the King of Wu."

The general's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Even among those at the peak of existence, King Wu was barely considered to be at the second level. Unfortunately, in a forbidden land, he was plotted against by the King of the Food Kingdom and perished completely, unable even to reincarnate."

"Under the powerful offensive of the three kings of the Food Kingdom, although my Wu Kingdom still has a peak existence, he is far inferior to the Kunpeng King of the Food Kingdom and can only flee in defeat."

"Whether I can save my life, I have no way of knowing."

"I happened to be leading an army in the field at the time, and was not in the capital, so I escaped the disaster."

"After that, following the message left by the King of Wu before his fall, I found the inheritance space of the Wu Kingdom. Then, I led a powerful army and boarded the ships you call the Cosmic Ships to this sea area of ​​your primordial universe."

Zhang Yi listened carefully, secretly marveling at the experience.

"It seems that the Wu Kingdom, like the Jin Kingdom of the Mountain Guest, was destroyed by the Food Kingdom. However, according to this general's description, the Wu Kingdom was much stronger than the Jin Kingdom, and at its peak, it was guarded by three God-Kings."

"King Wu is very powerful, probably at the second level of the God King realm."

"That's lucky, this inheritance should be even more powerful than Duan Donghe's."

"Come, kneel before His Majesty King Wu." With a wave of his hand, a blurry phantom appeared above the throne.

The phantom's appearance was unclear, but the unique charm it exuded captivated Zhang Yi.

"Why aren't you bowing?" The general's low shout interrupted Zhang Yi from his reverie.

"Even a mere phantom is so powerful, truly worthy of being called the King of Wu." Without further hesitation, Zhang Yi quickly knelt down in the void.

Whoosh! As Zhang Yi stood up again, a beam of white light surged from the throne beneath the illusory image, shot into Zhang Yi's body, and disappeared.

The white light entered his body, passed through it, and appeared between his eyebrows, where a strange mark of inheritance began to form.

Just then, in Zhang Yi's mind, the mysterious stone tablet also emitted a white light, reflecting onto the soon-to-be-formed inheritance mark. Zhang Yi himself didn't notice the change in the inheritance mark; he only felt the stone tablet seem to move slightly before falling silent again. The general outside also noticed nothing unusual.

嗗~
The stone tablet disappeared again, and the mark of inheritance was formed, etched between his eyebrows.

The general, standing to the side, couldn't help but smile when he saw the inheritance mark between Zhang Yi's eyebrows.

"This inheritance mark was created by the King of Wu. Once you acknowledge it as your master, you must never betray the Kingdom of Wu, nor can you reveal the core heritage of the Kingdom of Wu."

Following that, the general introduced Zhang Yi to the various matters concerning the inheritance space.

Overall, the lineage of Duan Donghe is similar to that in the original work, only much more powerful.

For example, the three core inheritances of Duan Donghe are three unique skills.

The core heritage of the Wu Kingdom consists of nine unique martial arts, six of which were left behind by the King of Wu.

Other, such as some relatively weaker lineages, are naturally countless, and there are no restrictions on their transmission to outsiders.

"This is a time-accelerated space!"

"This is the memory bank of all the black pebbles that store the inheritance."

As time passed, the general led Zhang Yi out of the palace and then introduced each place in the inheritance space.

for a long time.

After giving his introduction, the general disappeared again, whether completely vanished or simply left temporarily, it was unclear.

After the general left, Zhang Yi sensed through the inheritance mark that the entire inheritance space had been completely recognized as his own.

He stood atop a high mountain, overlooking the space of heritage, feeling joyful.

"I never expected that when I came to that mysterious ten-colored star, I was only thinking about finding a way to leave with the giant axe. I never expected that I would actually obtain the inheritance of the Wu Kingdom."

"Now, our human race is about to rise up completely."

Thinking of this, he could no longer restrain himself.

In the virtual universe, on the long table outside the Giant Axe Temple, Zhang Yi appeared instantly, followed by the figures of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City.

"Zhang Yi, why are you in such a hurry to find us? Is something wrong in the palace?" Giant Axe asked anxiously as soon as he appeared. "Do you need me to go in and help you?"

At this moment, his true form was still waiting outside the palace on the Ten-Colored Star.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly, "Giant Axe, it's a good thing, I've found a way to leave."

"Really?" the Chaos City Lord beside him exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah." Zhang Yi nodded.

In fact, the space where the Ten-Colored Stars are located is part of the Wu Kingdom's heritage space.

Earlier, when the general was leading him through the inheritance space, he had naturally discovered the giant axe outside the palace, but the giant axe could not detect them.

What's inside the palace?

Giant Axe was a little curious.

"It is a legacy of an ancient civilization."

"I was fortunate enough to pass the test and inherit the legacy."

Zhang Yi said calmly.

For a moment, both the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos were stunned.

"The inheritance of ancient civilizations?"

"You got it by sheer luck?"

They quickly recovered and eagerly asked Zhang Yi for details of what had happened.
