Chapter 206 Exposed
After subduing the Black Gold Puppet, Xu Nian led a group of people towards the inner part of the great hall.
This was a Saint Palace, presumably the inheritance inside would be extraordinary.
Upon entering the palace, a thick, ancient aura immediately hit them in the face.
The palace had not been opened for over a thousand years, so it could be imagined what the air inside must be like.
However, Xu Nian and the others were not concerned with such things; what they really cared about was the inheritance left by the Saint in this palace.
"Look quickly, what is that?" Chen An pointed at a cushion in front of the hall and said.
Around the cushion, a powerful formation was laid out, but this formation seemed to carry no dangerous aura.
"This is an Inheritance Array Rule. As long as the inheritor sits on it, they can receive the direct inheritance of the Great Formation, and what each inheritor receives is likely to be different. The former owner had left all his lifelong learnings and Cultivation in this Great Formation. What can be obtained depends on the fate of the masters." Black Gold addressed Xu Nian.
"Inheritance Array Rule? Direct inheritance?" The others also showed surprised expressions.
Such arrays had long been lost, only the Ancient Sects possessed these marvelous formations; it seemed this Inheritance Array was also obtained by the Chen Family's ancestor from some relic.
"How many times can this Inheritance Array be passed on?" Chen An promptly asked.
The people around also looked at Black Gold, their faces curious.
"Five times!" Black Gold responded.
"Five times, there are exactly five of us here," said Chen An excitedly.
Five times meant that he also had a chance to receive the inheritance from the Great Formation.
The others also showed delighted expressions, the Inheritance Array seemed tailor-made for them.
"Who will go first?" Chen Wudi asked.
"I'll go first. Since each inheritance is personalized, I'll pave the way for everyone," Chen An volunteered.
Zhao Yanyun and the others nodded, it didn't matter who went first or last.
Xu Nian naturally had no objections, his interest in the so-called direct inheritance was not too great.
Chen An walked directly to the cushion in front of the formation and sat down cross-legged on it.
Suddenly, the Inheritance Array emitted a bright light, and a strong, peculiar formation fluctuation spread from the formation, enveloping Chen An completely.
"Ah..."
However, just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what inheritance Chen An would receive, he let out a miserable scream.
At the same time, they noticed Chen An's previously severed arm was regrowing at a visibly rapid pace.
Not only that, but his newly grown arm also had red patterns on it, looking like burning flames.
"Regrowth of the severed arm? Could this be the work of a Saint?"
Chen Yao and the others all showed surprised looks, the Inheritance Array had actually caused Chen An's arm to regrow.
Truly wondrous!
Soon, the fluctuation of the formation dissipated, and Chen An opened his eyes.
His face showed ecstatic joy, looking at his newly regrown left arm, his eyes gleamed with a fiery glow.
"Chen An, is there anything special about this arm?" Chen Wudi asked.
"Yes, look!" Chen An said excitedly, following which his arm burst into fierce flames.
"Could this flame be the Red Scorching Nether Fire?"
Seeing this, Xu Nian also revealed a look of surprise.
As an Artifact Refiner, his knowledge of flames was better than others, and Red Scorching Nether Fire was indeed a powerful flame.
"Yes, it's indeed Red Scorching Nether Fire," Chen An said excitedly, then clenched his fist and punched a nearby stone pillar.
A burst of fire light erupted from his fist, and a fiery punch made entirely of flames directly slammed into the stone pillar.
"Boom!"
Immediately, a fist mark was left on the pillar, and beneath the mark, it was scorched black.
"How strong, is this the power of the Red Scorching Nether Fire?" Chen Yao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This inheritance is indeed incredible, you guys should try it, the gains are certainly stronger than what I received," Chen An said excitedly.
Now, with the enhancement of the Red Scorching Nether Fire, even if he faced a mid-stage One-star Battle General, he could fight on equal footing.
The second person to receive the inheritance was Chen Yao.
As Chen Yao sat on the cushion, the fluctuations from the Great Formation resonated once more.
Then everyone saw Chen Yao's strength skyrocket in a straight line, promoting her directly from a Five-star Battle Sect to the peak of the Nine-star Battle Sect.
That's right, Chen Yao's inheritance was the enhancement of strength.
She had ascended four stars, which equated to nearly a year's worth of cultivation.
Chen Yao was also very satisfied with the enhancement of her strength. Without any side effects, now at the age of twenty, she had already reached the peak of the Nine-star Battle Sect and was hopeful to breakthrough to the Battle General Realm before her twenty-first birthday.
This was a terrifying realm that only a true prodigy could achieve.
The third who ascended the cushion was Chen Wudi, whose inheritance was a Heavenly Rank Top Grade defense combat skill, Star Protection.
Once mastered, even a One-star Battle General would hardly be able to harm him.
However, Chen Wudi was not very satisfied with this inheritance but there was nothing he could do.
The fourth was Zhao Yanyun, her inheritance was a Mid Grade Heavenly Rank Cultivation Technique tailor-made for her cold attribute.
Although it didn't help much with her current strength enhancement, it would be a massive aid in her future cultivation.
After all, on this continent, the most superior were only Heavenly Rank Top Grade Techniques; other Emperor-level, Immortal Level, and Divine Level Techniques were just legends that no one had ever seen.
Of course, the "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus" and "Divine Demon Refining Body" practiced by Xu Nian must have been categorized as Divine Level Techniques, but these two techniques had special requirements for physique.
Having all four inherited, it was now Xu Nian's turn.
Xu Nian sat on the cushion, feeling the fluctuations of the Great Formation around him.
The Formation began to transmit the inheritance to Xu Nian.
Suddenly, Xu Nian felt a surge of power flowing into his limbs and bones through the pores all over his body.
"Wow, it's actually enhancing the Body Cultivation, that's great," Xu Nian sensed the power flowing into his body and transforming into Divine Demon Gang Qi, showing a pleased expression on his face.
He had been worried about the slow enhancement speed of his Divine Demon Refining Body, but he never expected the Great Formation to understand his desires so well.
Consequently, Xu Nian immediately started to activate the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique, beginning to frantically absorb this power to enhance his Body Cultivation.
Three-star Body Sect, Four-star Body Sect, Five-star Body Sect...
Xu Nian's Body Cultivation soared at an incredible speed, his flesh and blood voraciously absorbing the divine Spiritual Energy and transforming it into Divine Demon Gang Qi.
As his flesh and bones devoured the power, his bones and muscles became even more robust, and the lines of his muscles became more defined.
But Xu Nian's absorption rate was too fast, and the Inheritance Formation couldn't bear the load, finally with a loud bang, the entire Formation completely exploded.
"What happened? Why did the Formation explode?" Chen Yao and others showed surprised expressions.
"Is Xu Nian okay?" Zhao Yanyun and others showed worried expressions.
The Formation exploded into a cloud of smoke, blurring their vision so they could barely see Xu Nian's condition.
"I'm fine!" came Xu Nian's voice from within the smoke.
As the smoke cleared, everyone gradually began to see Xu Nian's figure.
But when everyone saw Xu Nian's figure, all of them stared wide-eyed and froze in their tracks.
Especially Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun, their eyes round and unblinking as they gazed at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian stood there, completely naked, his tall and upright physique, the muscle lines as if chiseled, could only be described as flawlessly perfect.
The key was that Xu Nian's skin wasn't dark but, on the contrary, was as translucent and snowy white as pearls.
Such a perfect body made the two women unable to shift their gaze away.
Although they knew it was a rather embarrassing situation, their eyes unconsciously remained glued as if stuck.
However, in their hearts, they couldn't help but admit, truly damn good looking!
Xu Nian was dumbfounded, and when he realized, he found all four in front of him staring unblinkingly at his body.
At that moment, Xu Nian really wanted to bash his head on a nearby stone pillar.
It was one thing for the girls to stare, but Chen Wudi and Chen An, what was the meaning behind this obsessed look?
