"If you complete the ninth test, I can accept you as my disciple and impart all the knowledge I have learned in my life to you."
The Sage of Xuanhuang spoke calmly, yet the content was extremely captivating.
Hai Bodong and Ling Ying both started breathing rapidly. The former felt a pang of envy, but also a strange feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
Ling Ying was happy for Zhang Yuan, but she didn't forget to send him a telepathic message: "Young Master Yuan, the inheritance of a saint is certainly good, but you should be careful to avoid any problems."
As a member of an ancient clan, Ling Ying knew the rise of many powerful figures, all of whom had unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of a powerful figure or acquired resources after entering the tomb of a powerful figure.
However, many people also fall into unknown traps or perish in the process of acquiring the inheritance.
The idea of inheriting the legacy of a sage sounds very tempting. A figure like the Xuanhuang Sage, who can retain a soul imprint for thousands of years, would not need to resort to trickery to harm them; they would genuinely want to find a successor.
However, these are only theoretical. When facing such a mysterious existence, one can never be too careful.
"Okay, I'm willing to accept the test."
Zhang Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment before walking toward the skeleton.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong suddenly transmitted his voice and said, "My lord, why don't you let me try it first?"
“If I were to inherit it, I would pass it on to you, after all, it was your opportunity to discover it.”
"If there is danger, I can stand in front of you and give you a chance."
Hai Bodong suddenly realized a huge problem.
The Xuanhuang Saint was an unparalleled powerhouse who was preparing to unify the Northwest Continent, but he suddenly disappeared without a trace. After news of his death spread, no one thought there was anything wrong, and the Xuanhuang Sect was quickly divided up.
Now that they have found his remains in this unknown corner, is there something wrong with this place?
Hai Bodong felt he could give it a try first.
"No, I'll do it."
Zhang Yuan replied to Hai Bodong and went straight to sit down a meter away from the skeleton.
Then, following the instructions of the Sage of Xuanhuang, he released his soul power to observe the Xuanhuang Flame.
The next moment, he felt as if he had entered another world, where the sky was black and the ground was yellow.
Between heaven and earth, there was a patch of yellow flames that formed a special pattern, resembling an array.
In the very center of this formation sat a figure in a golden robe and black robe. Judging from his face, he was none other than the Xuanhuang Saint, but at this moment he wore a sinister smile.
"Hehehe, kid."
"I must thank you; I am finally able to leave this Xuanhuang Flame Space."
"In return, I will accept everything you have, everything you control."
"I can sense that your physique is exceptionally outstanding and your foundation is extremely profound, even stronger than I was back when I was fighting spirits."
"Hehehe, with your body, the treasure trove left by the old ghost Xuanhuang, and my own insights, you will surely become a saint this time."
A voice, like that of a ghost, echoed in this peculiar world.
When the "hehehe" laugh was heard, Zhang Yuan's lips twitched subtly.
Sure enough, I'm not Xiao Yanzi, I don't have the protagonist's halo, and I don't encounter friendly old men like Yao Lao and Tianhuo Venerable.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and not disappointed. He was just more curious about the soul of this self-proclaimed Xuanhuang Saint.
Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw the guy who called himself the Xuanhuang Saint exude black energy all over his body. After solidifying, it shot out a stream of light that instantly entered his soul and tried to follow the clues to enter his sea of consciousness.
"boom!"
The visualization of Thor emitted a thunderous sound, conveying a message to Zhang Yuan.
First, he was told that he was currently inside the Xuanhuang Flame's inner space.
Heaven and earth are dark yellow, the universe is prehistoric.
Xuanhuang refers to the colors of heaven and earth, with Xuan representing the color of the sky and Huang representing the color of the earth.
In the beginning, in the vast and boundless primordial state, the pure and the turbid flowed together, and the black and the yellow were mixed together. The black and the yellow are the mixture of heaven and earth. Heaven is black and earth is yellow, so the black and the yellow are the colors of heaven and earth.
The Xuanhuang Flame ranks twenty-third on the list of strange flames in the Dou Qi world. It is a natural creation, a true spiritual object of heaven and earth, hence the name Xuanhuang. It can appear anywhere in the world, but ordinary people can only see its deep yellow color.
The Xuanhuang Flame doesn't have as many special abilities as other strange flames. It simply comes with its own thousand-foot-long space, forming its own world, imprisoning external enemies, and using the flames to refine and transform them into nourishment to enhance itself, or to give back to the person who controls it.
After telling Zhang Yuanxuan Huangyan the basic information, the Thunder God Visualization Diagram also stated that it could suppress the dark stream of light emitted by the "Xuanhuang Saint" at any time, as long as he had a thought.
Zhang Yuan was not surprised at all. After all, the Thunder God Visualization Diagram, which even the Sky Ranking could not sense and could suppress even the suspected original Dharma Body, would be easy to protect his soul.
He was now very curious about what the "Xuanhuang Saint" was going to do, so he cooperated with his performance and did not suppress that power.
The next moment, he felt a spatial force envelop his spirit body, and the surrounding environment changed instantly.
As far as the eye could see, there were deep yellow flames burning him with some strange power.
Even though he was a spirit soul, he felt immense danger at this moment.
But then, a booming sound came from the Thor visualization diagram, which made the surrounding flames behave.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan also noticed the figure of the "Xuanhuang Saint" not far away, who was laughing loudly and saying things like "I am finally free".
"Hehehe, you little fighting spirit brat, you didn't perish immediately after entering the Xuanhuang Flame's Soul Refining Array. You do have some skill after all."
The black-robed soul looked at Zhang Yuan with surprise in its eyes.
Zhang Yuan feigned weakness and asked in a trembling voice, "Senior Sage Xuanhuang, is this the test? What exactly is going on?"
"Hehehe." The old man in black robes laughed strangely, "Boy, I am not the Xuanhuang Old Ghost. You saved me, do you deserve to know my real name?"
"This Heavenly Venerable's soul will be annihilated."
Soul annihilated?
"Could you be a member of the Soul Clan?!" Zhang Yuan asked, feigning surprise.
No wonder he sneers when he's feeling smug.
"Since you know about the Soul Palace, it seems your identity is quite extraordinary." Soul Extinction sneered, "That's right, a thousand years ago I was one of the Three Venerables of the Soul Palace, known as the Annihilation Saint."
Since he was one of the three Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace a thousand years ago, he was most likely a Half-Saint rather than a true Battle Saint.
Therefore, it seems that the Xuanhuang Saint is a half-saint, not a fighting saint.
It is unknown why Soul Annihilation is trapped in the space of Xuanhuang Flame.
Based on the current situation and the other party's words, it is most likely related to the Xuanhuang Old Ghost.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan immediately said, "Soul Annihilation, I am a member of the ancient clan. When my soul perishes, the Soul Stele will shatter, and the clan's experts will immediately sense it. You still cannot survive. I advise you to release me immediately."
This was obviously a lie; he just wanted to extract more information from Hun Mieyan.
"An ancient clan member!?" Hun Mieyan's smile grew even colder, and he said without any fear, "No wonder he has such profound knowledge and strength at such a young age."
"You believed me so easily and accepted the test. It seems you wanted to surpass other imperial clans after obtaining the Saint's inheritance. And you also had methods to defend against enemies. Unfortunately, you fell into my trap. Hehehe."
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhang Yuan asked incredulously.
"Boy, you know nothing about the power of the Xuanhuang Flame." Hun Mieyan sneered, "The Xuanhuang Flame can also be called the Flame of Heaven and Earth. After swallowing things into this Xuanhuang Space, you can use the flame to burn and refine them, replenishing the power of your body and soul, and perfectly devouring the other party's memories."
"I will go out and take over everything you have, control the Xuanhuang Flame, and then devour your soul."
"With perfect memories, I will use a secret technique to imitate your soul fluctuations, and even a Dou Sheng will not be able to detect my deception."
"A powerful figure has come to rescue you? No, he's here to take me back to Zhongzhou, hehehe."
Soul Annihilation let out another smug laugh, then prepared to leave.
As he just said, he spoke to Zhang Yuan for the purpose of "rewarding" him, and also because he had not spoken to anyone for a thousand years.
But the most urgent task is to take over Zhang Yuan's body, then control the Yanhuang Flame and devour Zhang Yuan's memories.
With the formidable physical strength of the ancient clans, the cultivation techniques and combat skills of the Soul Clan, and the resources of the Xuanhuang Old Ghost, he was confident that he could reach the Dou Sheng realm this time, and perhaps even infiltrate the ancient clans. He could then contact the higher-ups of the Soul Clan.
Jie Jie Jie!
"Hahaha."
Just as Hun Mieyan was about to leave, Zhang Yuan's loud laughter, full of vigor, echoed throughout the world.
"What are you laughing at!?" Hun Mieyan felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Villains do indeed die from talking too much. Although you don't talk much, you're bound to die too." Zhang Yuan showed no signs of weakness at this moment. Instead, he manipulated the Xuanhuang Flame to transform into a stool for himself, crossed his legs, and said, "I was hoping to get some useful information out of you."
"For example, why are you here? Is the fall of the Xuanhuang Saint related to you or the Soul Palace?"
"However, since the Xuanhuang Flame can perfectly refine your soul and retrieve your memories, there's no need for such trouble."
"You might as well just die peacefully."
Zhang Yuan's smile was sunny, but his voice was extremely cold.
Hun Mieyan's bad premonition rose again, and he immediately decided to escape into the depths of Zhang Yuan's sea of consciousness.
But the next moment, he found that he had lost his connection with Zhang Yuan's body.
"How is this possible? What did you do, kid?!"
Hun Mieyan was terrified, but then he saw Zhang Yuan raise his hand and control the Xuanhuang Flame to transform into a long dragon, which flew through the air.
"A demigod's soul?"
"They must die today!"
Chapter 125 An Unprecedented Fortune! The Soul Clan and the Soul Realm Tremble
"How can it be!?"
Upon seeing Zhang Yuan's ability to freely control the Xuanhuang Flame, Hun Mieyan's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.
You should know that his soul, a dignified half-saint, was trapped in the Xuanhuang Flame Space Heaven and Earth Array and could not break free. He was refined and burned for thousands of years and was almost destroyed.
But Zhang Yuan was merely a Dou Ling, yet he was able to control the Xuanhuang Flame after his soul was trapped—it was practically a reversal of the natural order!
"Soul-Devouring Chains!"
Although Hun Mieyan was shocked, his awareness as a half-saint was not bad, and he immediately took action to block.
Although his soul was sealed and burned for a thousand years, he reached the Heavenly Realm at his peak, comprehended a trace of the Holy Will, and mastered the secret techniques of the Soul Clan.
He refused to believe that he couldn't defeat the soul of a mere fighting spirit.
