Chapter 5

"Rubbish! Hurry up! This isn't the time for you to be curious!" The warrior Ling scolded, his eyes glaring, and then he earnestly instructed, "First, try to memorize the 'Wushen Heart Sutra' as much as possible; it will help you withstand the impact of the divine statue's inheritance information!"

"Okay!" Wu Yuanxin took a deep breath, solemnly accepted the three volumes of the 'Wushen Heart Sutra,' and began to read them with full concentration. Time passed...

Wu Yuanxin, whose soul had merged with another, indeed had an extraordinary spirit, almost possessing the ability to remember things at a glance. In about half an hour, Wu Yuanxin had carefully read through the three volumes of the 'Wushen Heart Sutra' several times and managed to memorize them completely! Closing the 'Wushen Heart Sutra,' he closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment before handing it back to Wu Shiling and said, "I'm done!"

Wu Shiling was taken aback and reminded him, "Don't underestimate the scriptures. The information from the divine statue's inheritance may not be more or more complete than the scriptures..."

"No need! I didn't miss a single word!" Wu Yuanxin replied confidently with a smile.

"Phew..." Wu Shiling looked deeply at Wu Yuanxin, took a long breath, and said with a complex tone, "Now, I believe that Xiner has a good chance of mastering the clan's treasure scripture! Unfortunately..."

Unfortunately what, Wu Shiling didn't say more, tacitly acknowledging Wu Yuanxin's departure! The 'Wushen Heart Sutra' was profound and extensive, with complex and numerous contents, making it difficult to understand, comprehend, and memorize! To be able to recite it word for word and backward in half an hour, Wu Yuanxin's talent was indeed astonishing!

Unfortunately, the Wang family of Taiyuan was too powerful. If it weren't for the presence of the divine tortoise, the Wu family would have no chance of resistance. Wu Yuanxin's departure was the best choice; otherwise, he would eventually face disaster.

"What's unfortunate?" Wu Yuanxin vaguely guessed and still asked.

Wu Shiling didn't answer but instructed, "Cut your wrist and let the blood flow onto the chest of the divine statue, then press the statue to your forehead! Don't think about anything else, prepare to receive the information's impact, and try to endure as long as possible, the more you can bear, the better!"

Originally, Wu Shiling thought that Wu Yuanxin memorizing the three volumes of the 'Wushen Heart Sutra' in two hours was a bit of a stretch, and he only needed to withstand the statue's impact at the last moment.

Wu Yuanxin didn't ask more, and with a single swipe of his fingernail, he cut the veins in his left wrist... The blood, bright and vivid, fell and strangely merged into the divine statue. The divine statue had been passed down through generations, and the number of times it had been inherited through blood must have been considerable. However, there were no traces of blood left on the statue, which surprised Wu Yuanxin!

Wu Shiling gave Wu Yuanxin a puzzled look, wondering what he was thinking at this critical moment. He sternly ordered, "Press it to your forehead!"

Wu Yuanxin quickly calmed his mind, solemnly lifted the statue, and pressed it to his forehead... It felt icy cold and scorching hot, like being in the nine layers of ice and fire.

"Boom..." Before Wu Yuanxin could think more, a loud noise echoed in his mind, like a flood suddenly rushing into his brain, almost bursting it. Fortunately, Wu Yuanxin was well-prepared, and he had already experienced the fusion of his predecessor's memories a few days ago. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging, and bones crackling. Wu Yuanxin held the divine statue with one hand, pressing it to his forehead, his eyes bloodshot and wide open, staring at the statue...

"Huh?!" Wu Shiling's eyes widened in surprise, even more convinced of Wu Yuanxin's extraordinary soul talent. Throughout history, very few people could withstand the impact of the divine statue, and each of them was a significant figure in the Wu family. In a thousand years, only a few could be counted on one hand, with the most powerful being the fifth-generation ancestor, Wu Shengui, who endured for the duration of a joss stick!

Ten breaths, a hundred breaths... A joss stick, half an hour, an hour...

"Phew, phew, phew..." Wu Shiling stared at Wu Yuanxin without blinking, his breathing heavy, and his body trembling with excitement. Unnoticed, several figures appeared in the room, dressed differently, mostly appearing old and weathered, their depths unfathomable.

"Third generation..." Wu Shiling's eyelids twitched, his body trembling, about to pay respects. An old man in a black robe with white hair glared at him, stopping his words. Even more, his aura locked onto Wu Shiling, making him feel like he was in a deep sea, frozen in ice. Wu Shiling understood and blinked, the aura dissipating. Just as he was about to take a deep breath, he held it in, slowly releasing it...

Several more figures arrived like the night wind, quickly increasing to over a dozen, all arriving silently, staring at Wu Yuanxin with intense eyes! These were all the ancient Wu family's reclusive elders and grand elders, some of whom were believed to have passed away, and some whom even Wu Shiling didn't know were still alive. Even as the clan leader, Wu Shiling could only meet one or two of the elders when he needed to.

This was the strength of a powerful ancient clan! Suddenly, a tall but hunched figure, resembling an old tortoise, arrived with the night wind. Despite seeing it with his own eyes, there was no feeling, as if the figure had always been there, extremely strange!

Tortoise Immortal Wu Shengui! The strongest existing power of the ancient Wu family, the stabilizing force of the Wu family, and one of the three immortals at the peak of the world! The aura in the room changed, and most of the people were about to bow in respect, but Wu Shengui's glare made them all understand and hold back!

Wu Shiling's heart raced, and he endured, breaking out in a cold sweat, extremely nervous and anxious. He thought he had used all his means as the clan leader to silently take out the divine statue and the 'Wushen Heart Sutra' to let his son inherit early, feeling quite proud and satisfied. It turned out that so many people knew and were constantly watching the divine statue, just pretending not to know and not stopping him!

In addition to his nervousness and anxiety, Wu Shiling was also quite excited, moved, and proud, his emotions like waves! Not stopping was a form of tacit approval and recognition! This was his son, Wu Yuanxin, who had endured the inheritance longer than the fifth-generation ancestor Wu Shengui, and by a significant margin!

According to the clan's inheritance experience, if there were no accidents, Wu Yuanxin's future achievements would definitely surpass Wu Shengui, the divine tortoise. What kind of existence would that be?!

A divine warrior! A true divine warrior!

"Um!" After more than an hour, Wu Yuanxin let out a light moan, not a sign of fainting, but an indication that the inheritance was about to end! He was the first in history to endure from start to finish, completely receiving the divine statue's inheritance!

"Phew, phew, phew..." Including Wu Shengui, everyone in the room breathed heavily, clearly audible, and even the night wind seemed to become hot!

"Get out! All of you, get out! The path of a divine warrior is destined to be difficult and bumpy. Nothing happened tonight, everything remains the same, and everything continues as usual! Whoever leaks a word, no matter where they run, even to the ends of the earth or beyond the domain, I will personally kill them, don't have any illusions!" Before anyone in the room could think more, Wu Shengui's domineering and decisive voice echoed in their minds!

Hunched like a tortoise, his tone rough, making him even more domineering and powerful, this was Wu Shengui! The people present, all at least in the early stage of the Spirit Cultivation realm, understood Wu Shengui's meaning and left more cautiously.

Wu Shengui looked at Wu Yuanxin with intense hope, then glared at Wu Shiling, and silently left! Wu Shiling's face changed, his eyes complex, looking at Wu Yuanxin, his emotions like waves.

Wu Shiling naturally understood the meaning of the fifth-generation ancestor. But, what should he do? Ignore the pressure from the Wang family of Taiyuan and be kind to Wu Yuanxin? Or ignore him to help him train? How to make everything continue as usual? If he did well, it would be his merit, and he could benefit from his son's success; if he did poorly, he would bear the greatest responsibility, with serious consequences!

Timely updates, during the new book period, two updates are temporarily set, times: midnight and around 5:30 PM. Additionally, based on reader feedback, I want to emphasize one point. This is not a fairy tale; a hero can't withstand a crowd, and even the three immortals and four demons would have to bow before an army. These are just titles, like the sages and kings in the martial world, don't think of it in terms of a fairy tale!
