of a fingernail suddenly ignited on Jiang Yun's outstretched right index finger, emitting a faint warmth.Looking at these flickering sparks, which could extinguish at any moment, Ginger Cloud's face w...As the jade slip fell into Jiang Yun's hands, the skeletal remains of the former emperor shuddered slightly.

Then, an overwhelmingly powerful aura suddenly surged from his body.

Especially in those two empty, jet-black eye sockets, two beams of light suddenly flared, striking Jiang Yun.

"Bang!"

Struck by the two beams of light, Jiang Yun was sent flying backwards like he had been hit by a powerful blow. Blood gushed from his mouth as he crashed heavily into the void.

Don't come here!

Before he could even stand from the void, Jiang Yun suddenly cried out and thrust the jade slip that was already clenched in his palm forward. “If any of you dare to move again,” he threatened, “I will crush this jade slip!”

This sentence, Jiang Yun said both to the Emperor's skeleton and to Xu Longxiang who was less than ten zhang away and ready to make a move, as well as Gu Qianxi and Mo Yuan who had also appeared within his sight!

As Ginger Cloud's voice fell, the three of them suddenly stopped moving, not daring to make another sound.

They came here with the sole purpose of inheriting the legacy of the Great Emperor.

Now that the Emperor's legacy has fallen into Jiang Yun's hands, and Jiang Yun is using the crushed jade slip as leverage, they naturally have no choice but to obey under fear of repercussions.

"Click, click, click!"

Although the three of them did not dare to move, the skeletal remains of the emperor emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds.

Next, under the gaze of the four, he slowly stood up, his whole body emanating an extremely terrifying aura.

The pressure from its passing even suppressed the bones of those comparable to Reincarnation Realm experts, rendering them unable to move.

This scene left all three of them dumbfounded, gasping in astonishment, "The Emperor is alive"

Jiang Yun temporarily ignored the three people and hurriedly cast his gaze to the bottom of the Emperor's skeletal remains, where he saw a mark shaped like a four-petal flower composed of four colors.

Indeed, the mark is the true eye of this great formation.

With the power of four clans, this great formation was condensed, imprisoning this emperor.

Now that the Emperor's Skeleton has risen, it means the power of this formation has been weakened to the extreme by these four individuals. It is likely that it can no longer hold him back.

Although Ginger Cloud had that thought, he didn't have time to think about it much longer and continued to shout, "He isn't alive; he never died in the first place. This isn't some Emperor's legacy."

"This emperor was imprisoned here by the people of the four clans using this great formation, unable to escape. That's why he used inheritance as bait and lured us here."

Jiang Yun stood up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the Emperor's skeletal remains, and briefly outlined his deductions.

Hearing Ginger Cloud's words, Xu Longxiang and the others couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment, their faces filled with confusion.

Obviously, for a while, they simply couldn't believe everything Jiang Yun said, nor could they accept it at all.

Jiang Yun wiped the blood from his lips and looked around, "Emperor Hao, until now, you still refuse to tell us the truth"

Jiang Yun's shout was directed at the divine consciousness clone of the Haodi.

Although Ginger Cloud hasn't seen him since he stepped into the darkness, Ginger Cloud believes he must be nearby.

Even, Jiangyun even surmised that the other party should not be able to enter this formation and could not directly attack those skeletons.

After all, he and the Emperor's Skeleton are one body.

If he enters, he will inevitably be suppressed by the power of the formation and lose his freedom.

His true purpose is probably to entice cultivators from the four clans into the so-called palace.

And then, at the opportune moment, provide hints to the people, allowing the cultivators of the four tribes to gradually step into this current formation.

Moreover, Ginger Cloud could also deduce that to rouse the spirit of this formation, it wouldn't be something any random member of the four clans could achieve. It would require specific and unusual conditions.

This is also the reason why, although a large number of cultivators from the four clans entered the Emperor's Cave, only thirteen people were able to reach the main hall in the end!

Just as Jiang Yun's words fell, a long sigh echoed in everyone's ears.

Above the Emperor's skeleton, Hao Di's figure appeared. His gaze fell on Jiang Yun, a wry smile appearing on his face as he said, "Little fellow, you've thought too much."

Speaking, the Emperor Hao's gaze fell again on the skeleton below and said: "This is my skeleton. Although it hasn't died, it's also at the point of dissipating."

"The reason for my dissipation is because I couldn't bear to see my legacy lost, so I used my last strength to open up this Emperor's Cave and accept you all inside. You are here to find a suitable person who can inherit my legacy."

Once you have obtained the inheritance and leave this place, this Imperial Cave will be closed forever, never to open again. This place will become my tomb.

"As for this formation, it is not meant to suppress me; it is here to protect you."

"Actually, there's a simple way to tell if what I say is true."

"Look inside the jade slip, is that not my legacy!"

"If that's the case, then it naturally proves everything I said is true!"

Hao Di's words made the confusion on Xu Longxiang and the others' faces even deeper.

By this point, they were truly at a loss as to whom they could trust.

They had originally trusted the Heavenly Emperor wholeheartedly, but Jiang Yun's words just now planted seeds of doubt in their minds.

Being able to become the proud disciples of major clans, their brains are naturally not dull.

Some things, perhaps they were overlooked before, making them unable to think of it. But once everyone else points it out, if they still can't see anything wrong, then they might as well not have cultivated all this time.

For example, choosing a suitable heir there are methods, but for something like entering a large formation and killing countless skeletons, this kind of assessment is really unnecessary.

Especially when they were already feeling strained, the Haodi kindly reminded them to seek aid from the power of formations.

Once the power of the formation was activated, they barely needed to make any moves. They just needed to bring the spirit of the formation and rush towards the Emperor's skeleton as much as possible.

Thus, how can one tell who is suitable to inherit

But now that Haodi has suddenly appeared and said these words, there is some truth to them.

In short, Ginger Cloud and Emperor Hao each held their own words, making it impossible for them to discern who was telling the truth.

Therefore, all their eyes were focused on Jiang Yun, waiting for him to see if the jade slip truly contained the Emperor's inheritance.

Jiang Yun rubbed the jade slip in his hand, but instead of looking at its contents, he looked up at the Emperor Hao and said, "I want to ask, if this is really your inheritance, then why am I here now, and after several times obtaining the jade slip, you still stop me"

"Even just now, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would have been killed by you."

The Jade Emperor sighed again, silent for a moment before saying, "I admit, I have some personal feelings about this, because you are not the right person to inherit my legacy!"

Ginger Cloud pressed on, "Am I not suitable Why did you let me in here in the first place, and every time I tried to leave, you wouldn't let me go"

It's not that I won't let you leave, it's because the traditions here are from my prime, and I set up rules for them.

"I am merely a wisp of consciousness, incapable of altering the rules governing this place."

"Actually, I wasn't planning on letting you into my palace. But you obtained the Hundred-Li Forest in a special way before, and there was my presence within it, so that's why you were able to enter!"

Listening to the explanations given by the Hao Emperor one by one, the firmness in Jiang Yun's heart also wavered at this moment, as if what the other party said was also right.

After a slight pause, Jiang Yun said faintly, "Then I'll take a look and see what's inside this jade slip!"

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ier has been witnessed by all of us. It proves that you are not a soul-stealing monster.""Now, if you don't mind, please come into the city with us!"As he spoke, the Bookworm formed several hand seals...
