Sacred Saint King, The Truth About the Inheritance

In the Heaven's Secret Pavilion, Li Yuan was sitting calmly on his wooden chair, sipping some Soul Calming Tea with his right hand.

The Soul Calming Plant is a special plant of the Sun Empire that is mostly used for making tea by powerful cultivators.

Drinking it not only helps with increasing cultivation, but as the name suggests, it also has some benefits for the soul.

The soul is actually very mysterious for most cultivators and they will only come into contact with it at the Soul Transformation Realm, increasing Soul Calming Plant's value.

Just the tea inside Li Yuan's cup was worth a small fortune.

Li Yuan's hand moved methodically, but his mind was not here, but on his split soul that had followed Xiao Huo.

When the split soul obtained the high-level Divine Weapon, he clenched his fist in excitement and when they managed to escape, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, after his split soul killed the old man wearing golden armor and disintegrated, he returned to reality.

Li Yuan wasn't surprised by his split soul's destruction.

He already knew that his self-created talisman could only attack once before being inevitably destroyed.

"But it's all worth it."

"Sure enough, following the protagonist is the right way to get stronger."

"...As long as you can survive of course."

Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Unconsciously, he stretched out his hand and created a flame in-between his fingers.

The flame was golden and red, hot and cold, illusory yet real.

Its appearance and aura were completely contradictory and would cause one's consciousness to fall into chaos just by taking a look at it.

Obviously, this flame was his Chaos Flame.

"Just the Chaos Flame is already worth the trip, not to mention that there is still a high-level Divine Weapon and the other inheritance items."

Even if these items were not currently on him, Li Yuan still trusted Xiao Huo.

The protagonists' personality has many issues, but most of them are not so short-sighted and can make logical decisions.

Offending Li Yuan, the "hidden expert", who can deduce secrets and predict the future is obviously not something a wise person would do.

Li Yuan felt that Xiao Huo knew better.

Moreover, judging from Xiao Huo's admiration and gratitude towards him, Li Yuan believed that Xiao Huo would come and complete his side of deal regardless.

Unconsciously, Li Yuan thought about the inheritance space and the information he had previously obtained.

According to the information from the system, the inheritance space was left by a Saint King that was commonly known as the Sacred Saint King.

Years ago, the Sacred Saint King was a powerful cultivator that possessed the Blood Burning Flame and was famous in the entire Xuan Continent.

Unfortunately, due to certain events, he had a fight with another Saint King cultivator, the Blood Devil King.

Li Yuan guessed that the Blood Devil King was most likely greedy for Sacred Saint King's Heavenly Flame.

Although the Sacred Saint King possessed the Blood Burning Flame, the Blood Devil King was also a powerful evil cultivator and in the end, they both ended up suffering.

The Blood Devil King was forced to abandon his body and escape in the form of a soul, while the Sacred Saint King suffered internal injuries and had only a few months to live.

Before he died, he created the inheritance place, informed his descendants of it and finally died.

However, despite what he said, his true purpose was not to leave an inheritance.

Instead, it was a trap.

Sacred Saint King knew that the Blood Devil King had survived and did not want his enemy who had caused him to die to to remain alive.

Filled with hatred, he created an "inheritance space" and put Blood Devil King's body in it, hoping to attract him once the inheritance opened.

Then, the Blood Burning Flame, which had been burning for countless years in Blood Devil King's body, accumulating strength, would explode violently and destroy everything and everyone around it.

In Sacred Saint King's mind, as long as Blood Devil King died, he would in peace.

Even if this meant that his descendants would die with him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"You have to be more careful when dealing with these old monsters in the future."

"It doesn't matter that their strength is so strong, but they are also so insidious and leave countless back-up plans behind."

"Even if they have to sacrifice their descendants, they will do it without hesitation, provided that they can achieve their goals."

Li Yuan felt that even without the Chaos Flame and the other inheritance items, this experience alone was worth it.

Peeking into the mentality of a hidden expert would not only make it easier to communicate with other powerful cultivators, but could also enhance his way of showing-off.

"But is the Blood Devil King and Emperor Wu really dead?", Li Yuan wondered.

For some reason, he had a hunch that Emperor Wu, as a villain, would not die so easily.

'System, who is the strongest person with malice towards me?'

[Strongest person with malice towards you. Price: 900.000 HS Points.]

Seeing the price, Li Yuan felt that sure enough, Emperor Wu was still alive.

Not only was he alive, but his strength had also greatly increased.

From the HS Points needed, Li Yuan judged that Emperor Wu was only a sliver away from breaking through the Soul Transformation and realizing his dream.

Li Yuan was sure that this person was Emperor Wu because he hadn't offended anyone else in the past few days and nobody would hate him for no reason.

As for the cultivators that witnessed Li Yuan's killing of the old man?

Li Yuan believed that they didn't dare to hate him.

Even if they did, their strength was obviously strong enough to need so many HS Points.

"It actually doesn't matter to me whether Emperor Wu got stronger or not."

"No matter how strong he is, he shouldn't dare to come here after he learns that I 'easily' killed a Saint with just an attack."

"It is Xiao Huo who should worry about it."

"It is worthy of being the protagonist..."

When other people obtain inheritances, they will increase their strength massively in a short period of time, kill their enemies and be completely carefree.

On the other hand, Xiao Huo got an inheritance and obtained a new powerful enemy instead.

"Speaking of Xiao Huo...", Li Yuan stood up and looked on the horizon, where a black shadow was flying.

It was an young man with ordinary appearance, with a pair of wings created out of red fire behind his back.

His face was filled with excitement, completely clueless about his new powerful enemy.

Seeing his clueless expression, Li Yuan thought that as expected, stupid people were always the happiest.
