BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120: Six Inheritance Steles_i
Five Elements Great Emperor?
Li Cheng had never heard of it, and Feng Wanli was also pondering over this figure, but Ye Chenfeng seemed to have heard of it and directly asked if there were any inheritances left behind!
Everyone looked at Ye Chenfeng together.
Ye Chenfeng quickly said, “To be able to set up such an array, the Array Mastery of the Five Elements Great Emperor must be inconceivably high, the only question is whether there are any descendants.”
Elder Qingfeng laughed and said, “Let’s listen to the story of the Five Elements Great Emperor first!”
This time, he didn’t give anyone a chance to interrupt and said, “Before the separation of the Five Elements Elf Tribe, elves of different elements could become couples and give birth to offspring. A sage from our Wood Elf Clan did just that, giving birth to an outstanding descendant!”
Aside, Monkey Kongxu covered his ears, showing no face at all.
Elder Qingfeng didn’t mind his reaction and, with the same smile on his face, continued, “When that descendant was born, there were unusual signs from the heavens, with dragons and phoenixes singing in unison, harboring the strengths of all five families…”
Following that, Li Cheng and the others understood why Monkey Kongxu had first tried to interrupt, and now covered his ears.
The story went on until the next day!
It was noon when Li Cheng and his companions were drinking Elf Brew in the cabin, still listening to Elder Qingfeng’s voice, “Until the day he came back and said he wanted to go to the Immortal World, and he asked us to separate the five tribes, alas, but after he left, he never returned again.”
“Before he left, he specifically set up arrays for each of the five tribes, but unfortunately, no genius like him has ever appeared among the five tribes again. The strength of these arrays has also waned over time, turning into what they are today.”
Seeing that Elder Qingfeng was about to continue, Monkey Kongxu couldn’t hold back, “The arrays are weakening because the tribes haven’t produced a decent Array Immortal Master. You modify a bit, I patch it up a bit, and over millions of years, a ninth-grade Immortal Array has become a fourth-grade Immortal Array!”
Elder Qingfeng’s mouth twitched, glaring at Monkey Kongxu, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”
“The reason the arrays are no longer as they were is because of time, for time is the strongest force. With the passage of time, even a ninth-grade Immortal Array cannot escape the erosion and fading of time!”
Monkey Kongxu laughed, a very playful laugh.
This smile made Elder Qingfeng a bit angry, and he gritted his teeth silently and said, “Monkey, can I take that expression on your monkey face as disrespect towards the Five Elements Great Emperor?”
Monkey Kongxu turned serious, “Brother Li, the Five Elements Great Emperor was really something. No one could match his array and arrow path rules. One of my ancestors, a Weihai Golden Monkey, was his sworn brother!”
“Back then, that Weihai Golden Monkey left with the Five Elements Great Emperor. For our Monkey Clan, the Five Elements Great Emperor even left behind an Inheritance Stele, which is still in our clan today!”
Li Cheng’s interest was piqued, “Which aspect of inheritance?”
Monkey Kongxu gave a sheepish smile, “I don’t know.”
Elder Qingfeng started laughing, “The Five Elements Great Emperor left behind six Inheritance Steles, scattered among the Five Elements Elf Tribe and the Monkey Clan. In a while, I’ll take Benefactor to see the one that belongs to my Wood Elf Clan.”
“This was left by the Great Emperor for you all; isn’t it inappropriate for us outsiders to look?” Li Cheng said.
Though he said so, how could he not be excited internally?
“No worries, possession lies with those who are fated. To my knowledge, no one from the old Qingfeng’s tribe has been able to understand anything from it,” Monkey Kongxu mocked.
Elder Qingfeng glared at Monkey Kongxu, who quickly said, “Brother Li, let’s first visit the one in my Monkey Clan. It’s the perfect opportunity to ask for your help in dispelling the death qi of my clan.”
Elder Qingfeng stood up, “Our clan’s is at the back on Floating Peak, Benefactor, please!”
Monkey Kongxu rolled his eyes, listening to your day-long story, and I still need to provoke you before you’ll let go of Brother Li?
With age, comes the love for nagging.
The Floating Peak behind the Clear Heart Immortal Tree was overgrown with weeds. As everyone arrived, Elder Qingfeng, with an embarrassed face, gave a light cough and said, “This place is a forbidden area, so no one dares to clean it up, and over time it’s become like this. Please forgive us, Benefactor!”
Li Cheng laughed, it didn’t matter, claiming blindness while seeing, there was nothing to it.
Obviously, since no one could obtain the inheritance from the Stele, over time people stopped coming, and thus the place fell into disrepair.
Among those several meters tall weeds stood a cyan Stele as tall as a person, and upon closer inspection, it was covered with moss.
Elder Qingfeng waved his hand, and Immortal Yuan surged, destroying the weeds and moss, finally revealing the stele’s original form.
The stele was gray-white all over, without any inscriptions or images, and seemed quite unremarkable, even unimpressive.
“You blow your horn about this old Qingfeng, yet you don’t take care of it. This is left by the Five Elements Great Emperor, and you let it be covered in moss. If the Great Emperor knew, tsk tsk…” Monkey Kongxu chuckled playfully.
He laughed for a few seconds but then quickly regained his composure, realizing it had been many years since he had tended to the Monkey Clan’s territory!
Probably it was also covered in moss by now!
“Don’t spout nonsense, Monkey. I told you, this place is forbidden… I can’t be bothered with you. Benefactor, please give it a try!”
Li Cheng stepped forward, and after scanning with his Immortal Sense for a moment, he discovered nothing. However, when he activated the Laws, he curiously found that the stele, like those broken bowls, could bear the Laws!
Moreover, as the Laws poured in, Li Cheng clearly sensed that the stele contained a vast number of Arrow Path Rules!
At least a million!
“It really is the aura of the Five Elements Great Emperor. Li Cheng, you’ve struck it big this time!” The voice of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan rang out, and then he said, “Don’t respond to me, just listen, lest old man Qingfeng detects my presence.”
“The Five Elements Great Emperor dominated the Immortal World for three million years. His mastery in both the Arrow Path and Formations reached an extremely high realm. Gaining any part of his legacy would benefit you immensely, but I sense that to obtain a complete inheritance, you must gather all six steles!”
Of course, Li Cheng believed what Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Cheng once again activated various Laws and pressed his hand onto the stele!
Immediately, the stele flashed with light, and Arrow Path Rules swept over, startling everyone into retreating repeatedly!
Li Cheng withdrew his hand, his gaze shifting to Elder Qingfeng, carefully observing his reaction.
Elder Qingfeng’s eyes widened with disbelief—this was the legacy left to the Five Elements Elf Tribe by the Great Emperor, yet it was triggered by an outsider?
What should he do?
Although Li Cheng was the benefactor of the Wood Elf Clan, and the legacy of the Five Elements Great Emperor should go to whoever was destined, he was still an outsider, not of the Elf Tribe!
Monkey Kongxu also had an ever-changing expression, pondering something.
“Congratulations, Brother Li! The Great Emperor’s inheritance can finally see the light of day again!” Monkey Kongxu seemed to have made up his mind, laughing heartily.
Li Cheng shookhis head and sighed, “It’s a pity, this is only part of the inheritance, like one-sixth of a cultivation technique. Having only a fraction of it is useless unless all six steles merge into one.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Li, I will go fetch the Monkey Clan’s part right away!” Monkey Kongxu left stepping on air.
Elder Qingfeng forced a chuckle and, coughing lightly, said, “Benefactor, I will contact the other four clans right away!”
Merging the six steles had been attempted countless times, but, undoubtedly, they had never been able to get anything from them!
Many even began to doubt the steles.
Only now did Elder Qingfeng understand that it was because they were not destined for the Great Emperor’s legacy!
He pondered over how to tie Li Cheng to the Five Elements Elf Tribe’s ship.
Otherwise, the Great Emperor’s legacy would end up in the hands of an outsider!
A marriage alliance? That could work!
Sworn brotherhood? Unreliable.
Having him take a few disciples? That could work!
If all these methods were employed together, that would do the trick!
Thinking this, Elder Qingfeng laughed, and without hesitation began to send out messages!
