The Golden Cloud Peak Ruins, among the thousands of Flood Desolation Ruins under the jurisdiction of the Holy Sect, are the largest, the most risky, and the most rewarding.

Legend has it that the origin of the Holy Sect's inheritance comes from this, and the two first sect masters also chose the ruins of the Flood Desolation as their burial place at the end of their lives. In the following two thousand years, there were no less than 100 large-scale exploration operations led by the Holy Sect, of which the Holy Sect Master personally led more than 20 actions.

And the Golden Cloud Ding Ruins have not lived up to the two thousand years of hard work of Xiangzhou immortal cultivators, the treasures contained are endless, and every successful exploration can bring a revolutionary impetus to the development of Xiangzhou's immortal civilization, no matter what kind of achievements the Xiangzhou civilization has made, compared to the Golden Cloud Ding Ruins, it is not worth mentioning. And to this day, after countless explorations, the ruins of Jin Yunding still contain endless mysteries, and even the three words of Jin Yunding were reluctantly brought back to Liantian City by others after the sacrifice of the two deans of the Qinglian Sword Academy.

Now, Wang Jiu stood in front of the gate leading to the ruins of the Golden Cloud Summit.

This is a spherical door, to be precise, Wang Jiu seems to be inside a stone ball. Behind him, the narrow passage he had walked through had disappeared, and all around him were immaculate gray stone walls, with only four line segments dividing the sphere into four equal petals, and then at the intersection in front of him, a seal was affixed to it.

Beside him, the Holy Sect Sect Master explained: "Actually, even if the seniors don't mention it, I want to find an opportunity to invite the seniors to come, and now that you take the initiative to bring it up, I am relieved." Among all the flood ruins, the No. 1 ruin has the highest risk index and the strongest instability, and very dangerous things will flow out of the ruins if you are not careful, so the seal protection here is also the most solid. As you can see, this door is an independent space for transit, one side is connected to the No. 1 Ruins, and the other side is in the hands of the Holy Sect Master, once there is an uncontrollable risk, as long as this independent cave is eliminated, the risk can be isolated from Xiangzhou. ”

Wang Jiu asked, "Then if you lose this transfer station, how are you going to lock the location of Jin Yunding?" ”

The Sect Master replied: "If it is an ordinary flood ruin, it can be cross-located through several other ruins, but the situation of the No. 1 ruin is very special, it has been in an unstable state for two thousand years, not only the internal changes are unstable, but the position of the ruins in the chaos also changes from time to time. There is currently no very stable means of positioning, and once this transit station is destroyed, we will almost lose the means to re-enter the First Ruins. Fortunately, there have been no accidents of this magnitude in the past 2,000 years. It is also thanks to the members of the exploration team of the past generations that many times they would rather give up that glimmer of life and sacrifice themselves in the ruins than bring the risk back to Xiangzhou. ”

Wang Jiu nodded, and asked again: "So, if you destroy this transit station now, I will never be able to return to Xiangzhou again?" ”

The sect master was visibly stunned, and then sighed.

"It's worthy of the predecessor of the sword spirit, and his insight is so keen, I thought I could at least hide it for a while...... The predecessor guessed correctly, as long as I destroy this transfer station, within the scope of my knowledge, there is no way for the predecessor to accurately find the way back, not to mention that there is a strong chaotic tide around the Golden Cloud Dome Ruins, which will generate a great gravitational pull. Even if the predecessors could find a way, they might not have enough strength to resist the tidal gravity from the ruins. ”

As he spoke, the Sect Master had already pressed his hand on the spherical stone wall beside him.

"Of course, I don't want to commit such a crime against the savior of human civilization if it is not necessary, so there are some things I must ask to understand."

Wang Jiu did not rush to answer, but carefully observed his opponent, and deduced in his heart the changes that might occur in the event of an engagement.

Unfortunately, the probability of winning is no more than one in a hundred, and the probability of even preventing an opponent from destroying the Shimen Transit Station is not more than one in ten.

Once the war starts, the biggest possibility is that the transit station will be destroyed in an instant, and then it will be bound by the gravitational pull of the Golden Cloud Dome Ruins and be firmly trapped in the ruins.

The limit of what he can do at present is to drag his opponent into the water, although he can't defeat the Holy Sect Master, Wang Jiu has enough ways to prevent him from returning to the Holy Sect along the original passage when the transit station is broken, and fall into the Golden Cloud Peak with himself...... It's just that it doesn't seem like the opponent necessarily cares about this issue.

"Well, if it comes to the last resort, I will die with my predecessors, and I will not hesitate to do it. Before welcoming you to your arrival, I have already made arrangements for the future, selected the next sect master, and prepared the ceremony of inheritance, so I hope that my seniors will answer my questions seriously. ”

Wang Jiu thought about it and decided to respond to the other party head-on: "Ask." ”

The Holy Sect Sect Master took a breath, as if suppressing the tension in his heart, and then, after a long silence, he opened his mouth and asked, "Senior, are you willing to come and be the Holy Sect Master?" ”

This question surprised Wang Jiu.

"Holy Sect Master?"

"Yes, take my place and become the leader of the Xiangzhou Continent." The Sect Master said, "As long as the seniors are willing to nod, I can immediately perform the inheritance ceremony." ”

Of course, Wang Jiu did not rush to respond, but fell into a long contemplation.

The other party's question is really unexpected, even contrary to common sense.

Can the position of the Holy Sect Sect Master be handed over like this? According to the information, the Holy Sect Sect Master is a generational bloodline, and he is obviously not related to him by blood—unless he is using a roundabout way to take advantage of ethics.

At this time, as if he saw through Wang Jiu's doubts, the other party took the initiative to explain: "The inheritance of the Holy Sect's sect master does not need to be related by blood, to be precise, it will only be related by blood after the inheritance. ”

As he spoke, the sect master took the initiative to spread out his hand, revealing a drop of blood in his palm.

"This is the sect master's immortal true blood, inheriting it, you will inherit the holy sect's immortal dao true inheritance for two thousand years, and at the same time, you can also have all the bloodline divine powers of the sect master."

Wang Jiu looked at the drop of blood in front of him that was more golden in color.

This kind of blood-dripping inheritance, which also existed in the Kyushu period, is not a particularly rare technology. As long as the recipient integrates the blood into his own bloodline, he can have the core supernatural power of the other party and become a family member close to the bloodline.

The Outer Heaven Divine Sword is not human, but as long as you create a flesh and blood puppet in the sword world, you can still use the blood inheritance, and the true blood in the sect master's hand should be genuine, and the rich supernatural power is almost overflowing...... Here's the catch, though.

"Didn't you say that you had already arranged the aftermath outside? If you die here, won't the True Blood of the Holy Sect be lost as well? ”

The sect master said: "Senior, don't worry, I have left half of my true blood before I came, which is enough for the sect master's inheritance." ”

"Only keep half of it, you won't get the real supernatural powers."

"Theoretically, this is true, but in fact, the inheritance of the Holy Sect is slightly different, from the first generation, the Holy Sect has two sect masters, and therefore has two inheritances. However, 1,200 years ago, due to internal reasons of the Holy Sect, only one sect master was retained, so the inheritance quota was actually rich. ”

When Wang Jiu heard this, he frowned again: "So you have always mastered two inheritances by one person?" Hmm, it's no wonder that two drops of blood can be divided, but it's easier to fuse two inheritances into one, but it's difficult to split one person's inheritance into two equal parts of true blood, can Xiangshu's technology do it now? ”

The sect master said, "...... Frankly speaking, I can't do it, the drop of blood left in the sect is not equal to the drop in my hand, and it is impossible for me and the entire Holy Sect to have all the magical powers and inheritances that I have to divide them into two parts, and it is difficult for me and the entire Holy Sect to have such a technology in the next 100 years. ”

Wang Jiu said: "If it is not equally distributed, then the two inheritances are actually incomplete. Because there must be supernatural powers that exist only in one drop of blood. ”

"Yes, it must be incomplete, unless you get both of these two inheritances at the same time, and then merge them into one—and there will be some wear and tear in the meantime. But, in fact, it doesn't matter. The Sect Master sighed, "As early as when the first Sect Master left a legacy, it was already lost and polluted, and the technology at that time was even more crude than it is now, and the successor had to rely on his own efforts to complete the missing parts. And this bloodline has been passed down to the present, and many of the supernatural powers of the first generation have long been unrecognizable, and some of the treasures left by the first generation of sect masters cannot be opened by the sect masters of later generations with their bloodlines. In other words, after two thousand years of inheritance, the bloodline of the first sect master has long been severed. But what does it matter? The Holy Sect is still the Holy Sect, and Xiangzhou is also ten million times stronger than Xiangzhou in the past. So, we don't really care if the bloodline inheritance is complete and pure. ”

"I see, this explanation is much more reasonable, then the next question." Wang Jiu was very naturally anti-guest-oriented, and asked the Holy Sect Master.

"Why are you obsessed with making me the Holy Sect Master?"

"Because that's the only way to limit you."

"Limit me?"

The sect master asked, "Sword Spirit senior, with your foundation, how long will it take to recover enough to suppress Xiangzhou?" ”

Wang Jiu made a rough calculation: "First of all, it depends on your standard of 'suppressing Xiangzhou', if it only means that your personal strength can surpass the sentient beings in Xiangzhou, then the fastest 3 years, the slowest 5 years, mainly depends on the collection efficiency of heaven and earth treasures." If I had to be able to slaughter the living beings of Xiangzhou with my own strength, including all my friends...... Then the fastest 10 years and the slowest 50 years mainly depend on my analysis efficiency of the laws of Xiangzhou Heaven and Earth. ”

Listening to Wang Jiu's constant reports, the sect master's face kept changing: "In other words, in 50 years at the latest, a monster that can destroy the world will appear in Xiangzhou at any time." And after 3 years at the earliest, no one in Xiangshu will be able to stop you from growing into that monster, so I have to do everything I can to restrain you. ”
