First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 91: The Inheritance of the Barbaric Bull Elder

He rubbed his cheeks and waited outside for a while before starting to communicate with the Spirit-Hiding Rat using his divine sense.

"How is it? What's the situation inside?"

"This restriction is an illusion. Once I enter, the restriction will gradually disappear."

"Now that the restriction has dissipated, come in and see for yourself."

The Spirit-Hiding Rat communicated through divine sense.

"It disappeared?" He was somewhat skeptical and reached out to touch it.

Sure enough, when Shen Mo's palm touched the wall, what he encountered was no longer an incredibly solid stone wall.

Instead, it directly penetrated the wall without any obstruction.

Only then did he believe it and stepped inside.

Inside the wall restriction was a narrow and dark room, with an area of only one hundred square meters.

It formed a stark contrast with the magnificent ruins outside.

Inside the dark room, there was not much decoration, and it was empty all around.

Only in the center was a statue as tall as a person.

The statue was of a minotaur, with the body of a human and the head of a bull, dressed in Daoist robes and holding a silver hook.

There were some small characters engraved on the statue.

"The Barbaric Bull Elder?"

Shen Mo approached and read the first few big characters that caught his eye, "This should be the name of the statue's owner?"

Then, he continued to read below.

The small characters below recounted the life experience of the Barbaric Bull Elder.

"I am an ordinary yellow bull from the countryside, rising from humble beginnings. By chance, I consumed a spiritual medicine and embarked on the path of cultivation."

No wonder he's called the Barbaric Bull Elder. The owner of this statue is not a human cultivator, but a monster beast?

Monster beasts can actually learn from human cultivators and leave behind cave ruins?

After seeing this self-narration, Shen Mo was somewhat astonished. He quickly read through the entire text and grasped all the information.

It turned out that the Barbaric Bull Elder was indeed born as an ordinary yellow bull in the countryside.

But because he often eavesdropped on lessons outside the village private school during his childhood, he learned many human principles.

Therefore, he disdained associating with ordinary monster beasts and instead wholeheartedly wanted to become a true human.

However, monster beasts were still monster beasts, and even if they possessed human nature, it was difficult for humans to accept them.

Unless they reached the fourth rank of Great Monster, they would have the opportunity to transform into human form.

So, the lifelong goal of the Barbaric Bull Elder was to become a fourth-rank monster beast and achieve human form.

But, how easy is it to cultivate as a fourth-rank Great Monster?

This realm is equivalent to the Yuan Dan realm of cultivators.

It can be imagined how difficult it is to achieve this goal.

Especially since this old yellow bull does not possess any special monster beast bloodline, but is truly an ordinary yellow bull. It was only through some fortuitous encounters that it was able to awaken its spiritual wisdom and embark on the path of cultivation.

With the difficulty of its goal, it can be completely compared to a cultivator with mediocre aptitude aspiring to become a powerful figure in the Yuan Dan realm.

Even with numerous adventures and luck along the way, it is not guaranteed to reach the end.

In this Celestial Immortal path, the old yellow bull eventually exhausted its lifespan without reaching that step.

Until its death, its cultivation remained at the peak of the third rank.

Although it did not achieve its wish in this lifetime.

The Barbaric Bull Elder still learned from human cultivators and built a tomb for itself, constructing various burial treasures.

Even more so, it left behind an inheritance technique, waiting for someone with fate to obtain it.

"Inheritance technique!"

The life story of the Barbaric Bull Elder only made Shen Mo feel somewhat curious, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But when he saw the last paragraph, which mentioned an inheritance technique waiting for someone with fate to inherit, Shen Mo suddenly became excited. After all, being able to cultivate a common yellow bull to the level of a human cultivator's Spiritual Sea realm was already extremely rare and precious.

"This hidden chamber is the most secretive place, and the inheritance should be hidden here and not taken away by anyone!"

Shen Mo began searching the hidden chamber, looking for traces of the inherited techniques.

The hidden chamber was not large, and he quickly searched through it.

"Tai Xuanjin Stone."

In a corner, Shen Mo found a piece of ore weighing more than ten catties, completely black in color. After careful identification, he quickly determined what kind of spiritual ore it was.

This Tai Xuanjin Stone is an essential item for advancing magical tools. It is extremely valuable and quite rare in the market.

In the market of De Dao Lane, one catty of Tai Xuanjin Stone would undoubtedly sell for over a hundred spiritual stones.

With the ten-plus catties in Shen Mo's hand, he could easily sell them for the price of a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

There was no doubt that this item was a treasure.

Finally, it wasn't in vain!

Immediately, Shen Mo put the Tai Xuanjin Stone into his Qiankun Bag and continued searching.

After searching all around, apart from the Tai Xuanjin Stone, he couldn't find anything resembling the inherited techniques of the Bull Demon Ancestor.

"In this hidden chamber, besides the Tai Xuanjin Stone, there is only this statue."

He stared at the statue of the Bull Demon Ancestor and speculated, "Could it be that the inheritance is hidden within the statue?"

Shen Mo reached out his palm and suddenly touched the statue.

"Buzz!"

The moment the statue came into contact with Shen Mo's palm, it emitted a buzzing sound.

Then, the black body began to emit golden brilliance.

Under the illumination of this golden brilliance, the hidden chamber was as bright as day.

One after another, fluorescent lights gradually converged into a line of small characters, appearing at the top of the statue of the Bull Demon Ancestor.

"My inheritance is all left here, waiting for someone with fate to unlock it."

Under the illumination of the golden characters, a white jade spiritual platform slowly appeared.

Above the white jade spiritual platform, a small golden imprint in the shape of the Bull Demon Ancestor floated in mid-air.

Even though Shen Mo was dozens of meters away, he could still sense the immense and majestic power contained within the imprint.

"It's actually an inheritance imprint!"

After seeing this golden imprint, he was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Although he had never encountered any relic dungeons before, based on what he had seen and heard in the Linjiang Sect over the years, he knew quite a bit about the deeds of powerful inheritances.

Usually, the ways in which cultivators leave behind their inheritances can be broadly divided into two categories.

The first category is leaving behind their lifelong insights and the most proud techniques and spells.

This type of inheritance is the most common.

The second category is through a divine consciousness imprint, passing down the inheritance through generations.

This type of inheritance is much rarer and also more precious.

Because the inheritance through divine consciousness imprints not only includes their techniques and heritage, but also a part of the original power left behind by the inheritor.

If successfully obtained, it may even have the opportunity to greatly enhance one's cultivation.

"This is the greatest opportunity I have encountered since I crossed over!"

He exhaled a breath and calmed down his excited emotions.

Then, he reached out his hand to try and take the golden imprint on the spiritual platform.

But just as Shen Mo reached out his hand, the golden imprint emitted a dazzling light and shot towards him.

Although Shen Mo knew that it wouldn't be easy to obtain the inheritance, he had already tightened his mental state and remained vigilant.

But he still couldn't avoid the backlash of this force.

"Poof!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face looked somewhat unsightly. "It seems that this divine consciousness imprint doesn't want me to approach and touch it?"
