"Did you sense anything?" Ming Zhi Tian soothed the Chang Sheng Jue, which calmed down a bit.
Not long after, they saw the focal point where all the lights gathered. A man in armor was kneeling on one knee, propping himself up with a stone sword, his eyes blazing with spirit.
At first glance, he might have been mistaken for being alive, but he had indeed been dead for a long time.
Ming Zhi Tian touched the stone sword. "Is this the inheritance? This stone sword... seems to be sealed by some kind of magical power."
If Ming Zhi Tian applied the slightest pressure, the stone sword would undoubtedly shatter, but he did not do so.
He looked at the armor. "It's also a high-grade magical artifact."
He didn't take it. Ming Zhi Tian respected the deity and did not disturb him. Instead, he looked for something like a storage bag.
After searching for a long time without any sign, Ming Zhi Tian decided to give up. "Apologies for the intrusion."
Suddenly, a four-legged insect crawled onto the head of the statue. Ming Zhi Tian flicked his hand to drive it away. Abruptly, a strange force pulled his palm.
Ming Zhi Tian found himself unable to break free. The scene shifted, and he entered a spiritual sea within a certain divine consciousness.
A pair of phantom purple divine eyes enveloped Ming Zhi Tian, and they opened. "The new master has finally been found."
Ming Zhi Tian rejoiced. "So, you are that inherited divine body?"
"Indeed. I am the Xuan Ling Divine Body, carried by the eternal primordial flow. You are quite good. At such a young age, you are already at the tenth level of the Feng Shen realm! You are very suitable to be my vessel."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "Didn't you call me master? What, you want to control me?"
The Xuan Ling Divine Body burst into laughter. "Fool! Although I acknowledge you as master, your body naturally belongs to me. What else do you think?"
Ming Zhi Tian understood. "Oh, so you want to use me as a puppet."
The Xuan Ling Divine Body said arrogantly, "It is a fortune beyond your three lifetimes to be the puppet of this venerable one. Boy, I advise you not to resist futilely. Just comply willingly, and you won't suffer."
Ming Zhi Tian sneered. "You want to keep me? If I want to leave, no one can stop me."
The Xuan Ling Divine Body said, "Boy, aren't you overestimating yourself? Let alone a mere tenth-level Feng Shen realm like you, even a tenth-level Jue Xing realm would have to sit down!"
Seeing him about to escape, the Xuan Ling Divine Body immediately attempted to seize Ming Zhi Tian's body!
Ming Zhi Tian was enveloped by an invisible golden force, feeling as if he were being pressed down by thousands of pounds, unable to move. He allowed the Xuan Ling Divine Body to encroach upon him bit by bit.
Just as the Xuan Ling Divine Body was about to succeed, the Chang Sheng Jue began to circulate, resisting!
The Xuan Ling Divine Body was greatly astonished! "Tian He Divine Body?!"
Ming Zhi Tian was confused. The Xuan Ling Divine Body continued, "Although it is still in its nascent form, it is on the right track. Boy, where did you obtain the Tian He Divine Body cultivation technique? You've been cultivating it for some time?"
Before the Xuan Ling Divine Body could say more, it was suddenly counter-attacked by the Tian He Divine Body. Subsequently, a backlash force, gathering from a sesame-seed-sized point to a bowl-sized extent, engulfed the entire Xuan Ling Divine Body!
The Xuan Ling Divine Body let out a final, unwilling cry: "No...!! If I weren't sealed here and had lost some of my power, how could I be defeated by a nascent Tian He Divine Body? I am unwilling!..."
Soon after, the Xuan Ling Divine Body was absorbed and fused by the Chang Sheng Jue's Tian He Divine Body, becoming the Xuan He Divine Body!
Ming Zhi Tian felt his body strengthen by a millionfold. If ninety thousand bulls were to charge at him now, they wouldn't be able to harm him.
Leaving the divine tomb, Ming Zhi Tian had gained immensely. All the magical artifacts and pills he had obtained previously combined were not as good as this single opportunity. He would now reach a new height in killing enemies across realms.
Upon returning to the Peerless Home, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Ming Zhi Tian suddenly had a bad premonition.
The women nudged each other. Jie Qingxia asked, "Who will tell him?"
Ren Xingyao said, "Mi Rui, you tell him."
Xiao Mi Rui shook her head. "I won't."
Ouyang Ni Feng saw Ming Zhi Tian return and said to them unhappily, "If you're too scared to say it, I will."
