Chapter 77

There are several brown cups on the simple stone table. Chen Xiao looked at Qin Mo's face through the dense steam raised from the cup and said, "The situation is like this, Lin Zizheng has to accept the inheritance in the same spot where Ling Yuan died."

Qin Mo lowered his head. His fine eyelashes quivered and gave a faint "en" as he gazed at his reflection on the tea in the cup.

Then Chen Xiao's brow picked up slightly as he faced Qin Mo on the opposite side, and asked quietly, "In fact, what I am more curious about is how your blood can break the stone tablet's seal?"

He watched for any changes on Qin Mo's expression as he said this. He paused then said, "When Ling Yuan fell, he once said that only his own blood or the blood of his reincarnation could break the stone tablet."

Qin Mo held his cup tightly, then he quickly released it without Chen Xiao noticing. He said after a long silence, "I don't know. Maybe it's because I consumed Lin Zizheng's blood before." 

Chen Xiao's brow wrinkled. He obviously does not believe Qin Mo's logic, but there is no other reasoning besides this one. The incident regarding Hong Min; he found many people, but their blood could not cause a response from the tablet, except for Qin Mo.

At last, Chen Xiao signed in a low voice. He turned around and left without touching the tea on the table and leaving Qin Mo alone on the stone bench.

Qin Mo stared at the hot jade cup on the table and gave a pitiful sigh internally. The tea here is really good.

He pondered over Chen Xiao's question for a long time and finally concluded. It wasn't the logic that he gave Chen Xiao, but the fact that he himself is the abnormal factor.

Once the idea arises, Qin Mo cannot give it up. He does not belong to this world and took a completely different path from the original Da s.h.i.+xiong. For this world, he is the large anomaly figure, and it is not impossible for his blood to break the seal. Although it is only a guess, he has already determined that this idea is right.

Raising the cup in his hand, he gently took a sip as his eyebrows relaxed slowly. 

When Wen Qing arrived at this scene, he saw a white clothed young man sitting alone at the stone table, and drinking tea with a cold expression. Even his state of mind gradually calmed down.

He lowered his gaze and strolled toward Qin Mo's side. He took the other cup and sipped the tea, tasting the faint tea flavor and exclaimed with a smile, "Excellent tea."

Because of Old Man Wen, Qin Mo is a little more generous to Wen Qing, and when he heard Wen Qing's complement, he immediately stepped out of his thoughts and looked at his cup with a small amount of green-colored tea remaining. He mumbled, "It is great."

Wen Qing is a man who appeared cold at first, but he is actually a gentle and cultivated person when interacting with him for a long period. He has a peaceful mind, which makes people feel extremely comfortable. 

At the beginning, Old Man Wen said that Wen Qing is like Qin Mo, but that's wrong.

Although Qin Mo felt strange that Wen Qing lived in the Dark Tomb since he was a child, why would his knowledge be this broad? Even insight on the spirit power that everyone within the boundary of spirit origin knows so very little. But he cannot deny it is delighted to interact with Wen Qing. 

After staying at the stone table for half a day, Qin Mo felt a sense of s.n.a.t.c.h peace from the daily chaos. When the sun was setting, he realized that another day had pa.s.sed. This is the third day since Lin Zizheng entered the tower to receive the last inheritance.

Qin Mo's eyebrows lightly knitted when thinking of this, he also doesn't have the mood to stay here for too long. He said goodbye to Wen Qing and returned to his temporary residence.

After Qin Mo left, Wen Qing sat at the same spot and looked at Qin Mo's cup. His eyes were obscure, unknown thoughts.

Chen Xiao lived in the mountain forest in a simple house, but he is someone who put great value in living. This can be seen from the layout of the house. Although Qin Mo lived in a simple room, the decoration is especially exquisite, even the bedding are woven from the precious heaven thread*.

*Direct translation: 天 day / sky / heaven, 絲 silk / thread / trace / (cuisine) shreds or julienne strips. I searched the word and Lyocell or Tencel came up a lot (Tencel is a company that branded Lyocell, which is more expensive than cotton)

Qin Mo sat in lotus position on the bed and used his divine senses to scan his body. Because there is no spirit energy in the environment, the spirit power in his veins are almost dried up, and only a faint purple light could be seen vaguely.

His divine sense bypa.s.sed the muscles and vines and entered his Dantian. Even without spirit power's support, the cl.u.s.ter of lightning fire still burns vigorously within his Dantian. Floating next to the flame is a square gray object.

This thing is exactly the same object that flew out of the stone tablet when he was on the altar. On closer inspection, this object is a shrink down stone tablet, even the traces are exactly the same.

As soon as his divine sense touched the small tablet, a paragraph appeared in his mind.

Through this pa.s.sage, he learned that the nascent spirit power from the boundary of spirit origin is the cultivation world's divine sense power.

At first, the boundary of the spirit origin is just another common boundary among the thousands in the cultivation world. The only difference is the people in this boundary are extremely good at using divine sense. Later, to seal the clan of evil spirits, this boundary was completely sealed, and the outside world gradually lost the divine sense – the easier method.

Besides this information, there are only a few simple ways to use nascent spirit power, including how to condense weapons and spirit beast with this power.

It has been several days since he got the small stone tablet. He has observed it repeatedly several times, and those were the only information he received, no other discovery.

With a sigh, he could only give up and start studying nascent spirit power. At first, he condensed a weapon out from nascent spirit power by mistake, now has the systematic knowledge he must study hard.

In a blink of an eye, two days have pa.s.sed. Qin Mo walked out and heard a loud "boom" in the distance. He looked up and saw the slowly collapsing stone tower standing in the far distance.

Lin Zizheng is still inside. Qin Mo's stopped his movement and turned to the stone tower's direction. When he arrived at the tower, Chen Xiao and Elder Jinbi were already standing there, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"The divine tower actually fell." Chen Xiao said with both hands behind his back, looking quietly at the tower. He showed an expression that could be at a loss and happy.

There was a flash of golden light from under the ruins of the stone tower, which became more and more flouris.h.i.+ng. Until it became a bright golden road and spread to the front of the three. Lin Zizheng's figure emerged slowly in it. As soon as it appeared, he walked along the golden road.

Feeling the heavy pressure from him, both Chen Xiao and Elder Jinbi smiled happily and looked at each other. They saw the comfort in each other's eyes. After so many years, Ling Yuan has finally come back.

Ignoring their sight, Lin Zizheng came to Qin Mo and said, "Da s.h.i.+xiong, I have returned."

When his eyes swept behind Qin Mo to Wen Qing standing in the distance below an ancient tree, his eyes suddenly darkened.

As if feeling Lin Zizheng's cold glare, Wen Qing slowly gave him a large grin, a kind of unspeakable provocation with his expression.

Lin Zizheng's gaze darkened furthered, then he smiled at Qin Mo and said in a relaxed tone, "Da s.h.i.+xiong, when shall we go back?" His right hand's cuff quivered slightly, and an invisible light shot straight at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing gave a taunting smirk and blocked Lin Zizheng's aggressive attack with a casual wave.

Wen Qing was behind Qin Mo and didn't notice the dark turbulent between them. When he heard Lin Zizheng's question, Qin Mo s.h.i.+fted his sight to Chen Xiao and Elder Jinbi. They were standing on the side without speaking, but their meaning was clear.

Their expressions changed. When Chen Xiao couldn't contain his heat, he glared at Lin Zizheng and said through gritted teeth, "Didn't you restore your memory?"

Lin Zizheng raised his eyebrows, Chen Xiao's tone was disdainful. He glanced at Chen Xiao and said absent-mindedly, "It's just a useless memory of the head. Remembering or not, it is still the same."

Chen Xiao's face turned red. He snorted coldly and flung his sleeve as he left. Even the good temper elder's expressions do not look good.

He collected his thoughts and put on a difficult smile, "Follow me, the teleportation array is inside."

They turned, and Qin Mo saw Wen Qing under the tree in the distance as he followed the Elder Jinbi inward.

When they pa.s.sed by Wen Qing, Qin Mo paused, and his gaze fell on him. After considering for a moment, he said, "Stay in the boundary of spirit origin, don't go back to the Dark Tomb. I will ask Senior Chen Xiao to take care of you."

Although Chen Xiao was furious with Lin Zizheng's behavior, Qin Mo believed that he would be willing to help him take care of someone if he asked.

Wen Qing's gaze s.h.i.+fted and collided with Lin Zizheng. He suddenly smiled gently and said, "Can I go to the cultivation world with you?"

Qin Mo stared blankly, then thought of what Old Man Wen said in the Dark Prison. He nodded softly after pausing and did not see Lin Zizheng's extremely vile expression behind him.

Seeing Qin Mo and others disappeared on the teleportation array, Elder Jinbi signed slowly and said, "Alas, my dear old friend Chen Xiao, if you can't bear to say it straight, need not put on a long face all day."

"Humph." Chen Xiao gave a cold groan as his figure slowly appeared. He looked at the empty array and said in an icy tone, "Who cares about that brat. It's best if he never returns."

The elder shook his head without disclosing Chen Xiao's words not according to his heart. He could only frown and said with some doubts, "I don't know why, but Wen Qing looks very familiar, and he gave me a terrible feeling."

"You are thinking too much, there is nothing wrong. Besides, the kid is still there." A faint impatience surfaced on Chen Xiao's face.

"That's right." The Elder Jinbi smiled and abandoned his last thought.
