The Azure Dragon's head moved slightly, and a scroll with an ancient aura flew out from its body.
"This is my inheritance. Keep it well."
Han Feng took the scroll, opened it, and saw a few large characters:
Azure Dragon Common People Formula
"You can use the content inside as a reference, but you don't necessarily have to inherit it. You have your own path to walk, and it will surely be more difficult than mine," the Azure Dragon continued.
"You possess the Black Tortoise Heavenly Ancestor Sutra and are accompanied by the Vermilion Bird Spirit. Now that you have obtained my inheritance, only the White Tiger's part remains."
"White Tiger? Senior Azure Dragon, I was just about to tell you about this."
Han Feng told the Azure Dragon what he had seen in the Black Tortoise inheritance ground.
"White Tiger killed Black Tortoise? How is that possible!"
The Azure Dragon immediately spoke in a tone of denial.
The White Tiger was a benevolent beast. The price it paid to protect the common people was no less than that of the Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon absolutely wouldn't believe that such a reliable companion would commit betrayal.
Seeing the Azure Dragon's certain tone, Han Feng stopped speaking.
"Senior Azure Dragon, this is the turtle shell left by Black Tortoise. There seems to be a starry sky coordinate on it. Could it be related to White Tiger?"
Han Feng sacrificed the black turtle shell. The Azure Dragon gazed at the turtle shell, and after a moment, it fell into a long silence.
The extreme metal energy of the White Tiger had left indelible scars on the turtle shell.
In other words, what Han Feng said just now might be true.
"How could it be..."
The Azure Dragon let out an extremely complicated sigh.
"Destined one, I'm sorry. I cannot understand this matter, nor can I give you more guidance. The coordinates on the turtle shell indeed hide clues about White Tiger. You must find it and obtain its inheritance."
"Only by gathering the inheritances of our four beasts can you open the treasure left by the Great Emperor. Inside, there will be methods to resist the Extraterritorial Evil Clans."
The Azure Dragon's body turned into specks of cyan light, gradually dissipating.
"I don't know when the Extraterritorial Evil Clans will arrive, but if that day comes, please protect the Dou Qi Continent."
"Protect the Great Thousand World."
As the voice fell, the Azure Dragon's body completely collapsed, and a wisp of cyan spiritual essence flew into Han Feng's body.
"This is the last wisp of true spirit I left in this world. It can temporarily conceal the time-space anomalies on your body, giving you more time to prepare. You can also comprehend it yourself. Understanding the laws of time early will be of great benefit to you."
Han Feng felt the miraculous laws of time flowing within his body.
It seemed that something had indeed changed.
"Destined one, may I know your name?"
A faint voice seemed to come from the space.
"Han Feng."
"Han Feng..."
That voice fell into silence, with no further ripples.
Inside the twelfth cave, the scene that was full of vitality just now had become unusually quiet. The empty space exuded a strange chill.
The Azure Dragon had left.
Han Feng's heart was somewhat heavy.
Such a powerful senior eventually aged and dissipated in the time and space of tens of thousands of years.
What virtue and ability did he have to shoulder the responsibility mentioned by the Azure Dragon?
Could he, who hadn't even resolved the Hun Clan yet, really deal with those powerful Extraterritorial Evil Clans?
Han Feng put away the inheritance method in his hand.
The Azure Dragon was right about one thing: he had his own path to walk.
Becoming a Saint was difficult, becoming an Emperor even more so.
If one blindly imitated the path of predecessors, one couldn't break through the limits.
Problems the Azure Dragon couldn't solve were handed over to Han Feng, so he couldn't walk the Azure Dragon's old path.
Of course, thinking about these things now was too far-fetched.
The power displayed by the Azure Dragon in the ancient battlefield had surpassed Dou God, a realm Han Feng hadn't touched even in his previous life.
Above Dou God, there was even higher.
The path of seeking the Dao was endless.
This realization was very important.
What Han Feng needed to do now was to perfect his comprehension of laws as much as possible, striving to go further after becoming an Emperor and surpass the Azure Dragon.
After finishing the matters on the Dou Qi Continent, Han Feng could also explore the Great Thousand World mentioned by the Azure Dragon.
Perhaps he could see some even more magnificent scenery.
Han Feng took a last look at the scenery inside the twelfth cave. After confirming that nothing was left, he turned and left.
The moment Han Feng stepped out of the twelfth cave, the entire Hidden Dragon Cave began to shake and tremble.
Lin Xian'er stood on the mountaintop, seeing the ground in the distance cracking rapidly. The huge mountain beneath her feet also made bursts of noise, about to collapse. She hurriedly spread her Dou Qi wings, but found that the space here was faintly pressing down, making even flight somewhat difficult.
"Master!"
Lin Xian'er looked anxiously in the direction Han Feng had left.
Swish!
A golden light flew from the distance.
Han Feng arrived at Lin Xian'er's side in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go. The laws here have dissipated and can no longer support the existence of the Hidden Dragon Cave."
Han Feng held Lin Xian'er's hand, his gaze fixed on the sky, and struck out a cyan dragon claw at a weak point.
Azure Dragon Sky Tearing Claw
The void was instantly torn apart, and Han Feng flew out of the cave with Lin Xian'er.
It was already night outside. Stars twinkled in the sky, and the bright moon was pure white.
Rumble!
Lin Xian'er looked back at the Hidden Dragon Cave. The entire secret realm had completely collapsed, turning into ruins.
That beautiful sea of flowers also dissipated into nothingness along with the collapse of the secret realm.
Lin Xian'er felt somewhat wistful.
Beautiful things were indeed fleeting.
Han Feng looked at the land below. The surroundings were faintly wrapped by a formation, and in the forest not far away, a group of soldiers hid their figures, waiting for an opportunity.
People from the Eastern Xuan Empire had prepared a trap?
Han Feng glanced casually and paid no more attention.
With his current realm, he didn't need to bicker with these people.
He had acted heavily before only because he was worried about Lin Xian'er's safety.
Han Feng flew straight towards the formation barrier. The ambushing army seized the opportunity and activated the formation.
Boom!
Before the formation could fully activate, Han Feng smashed a large hole through it.
Those cultivators of the Eastern Xuan Empire who set up the formation were blown away by the backlash force and fainted on the spot.
The remaining soldiers stared blankly as Han Feng flew away.
It ended before the fight even started?
"Master, those people really don't know what's good for them. They actually wanted to attack you!"
Lin Xian'er was somewhat indignant.
The Imperial Family were bad people, and those generals and soldiers were fools.
"Don't get angry over these small things. As long as you're fine."
Han Feng comforted.
Lin Xian'er looked back. Under the moonlight, a group of people with gleaming iron armor scattered and ran.
She sighed and finally ignored them.
"Master, where are we going next?"
Han Feng looked up at the stars in the sky and identified the current direction.
"Let's go south, to the Central Plains, and pick them all up."
Central Plains, Eastern Region.
Within the Gu Clan territory.
Gu Xun'er stood by the cliff, gazing west, slightly lost in thought.
More than a year had passed, and Mr. Han still hadn't come to the Gu Clan.
She could understand; after all, the Gu Clan wasn't a place anyone could just visit.
However, after being separated for a long time, she couldn't help but miss him.
Although life in the Gu Clan was affluent and she could have whatever she wanted, it was far less free than the time she followed Mr. Han.
Perhaps everything here didn't suit her from the beginning.
Gu Xun'er let out a long sigh.
People were like this, always envying things they couldn't have.
Standing in her position, not to mention the entire Dou Qi Continent, even within the already high-and-mighty Gu Clan, countless people pursued her.
Ling Ying appeared in a shadow outside the cliff.
Every time Miss was free, she would come here to look into the distance.
Those young talents in the clan thought Miss was aloof and didn't like going out.
Little did they know, she already had someone in her heart.
Ling Ying shook his head.
To be honest, he now faintly felt that Miss's feelings for Han Feng seemed to have deviated a bit.
Originally, he thought it was just a little girl's dependence on an elder, but as Gu Xun'er grew up, this emotion seemed to have changed qualitatively.
After all, cultivators had long lives, and the relationship between age generations couldn't be viewed with ordinary eyes.
Take the Clan Head for example; he was of the same generation as Xiao Xuan, but the daughter he bore was the same age as Xiao Xuan's descendants, separated by who knew how many generations.
Watching Gu Xun'er grow up in the Xiao family, Ling Ying often had some illusions.
He felt that the Xiao family members were raising an ancestor.
So Ling Ying felt it was normal that Gu Xun'er didn't play with the Xiao family juniors.
One shouldn't meet someone too amazing when young, otherwise the rest of one's life would be filled with his shadow.
Miss was a devoted person. Who knew when that Han Feng would come to the Gu Clan.
At this moment, Han Feng, whom Ling Ying spoke of, had already arrived outside the Ancient Saint City.
"Master, is it okay for us to go to the Gu Clan like this?"
Lin Xian'er asked.
When they came here before, that group of Black Submerged Army was quite scary.
"No problem. Watch Master operate."
Han Feng came to the city gate.
Before he could approach, a team of Black Submerged Army came up and said sternly, "Ancient Saint City is a vital area. Idlers keep away!"
"I am Han Feng, a newly promoted Dou Saint. I came to visit the Gu Clan. I hope you can make an exception."
"Dou Saint?!"
The expressions of this Black Submerged Army team changed drastically.
The person in front of them was actually a Dou Saint expert?
You know, even within the clan, Dou Saints were still a very small minority.
Gatekeepers like them generally wouldn't come into contact with Dou Saint experts.
"Do you have an identity?"
The captain of the Black Submerged Army squad stepped forward, bowed slightly to Han Feng, and asked.
"Successor of Falling Star Pavilion."
"The Falling Star Pavilion in the Southern Region?"
The squad captain glanced at Han Feng with some doubt.
He had naturally heard of the famous Four Pavilions in the Central Plains.
But he hadn't heard that a Dou Saint had emerged from the Falling Star Pavilion?
Such earth-shattering news, if true, would probably have been known by others long ago.
Han Feng nodded.
Seeing Han Feng's indifferent attitude didn't seem fake, the squad captain didn't dare to be arrogant and began to fill in the registration information.
"Senior, the entry and exit procedures of Ancient Saint City are cumbersome. If not a member of the Gu Clan, detailed information needs to be registered. Please don't take offense."
"Understood."
The squad captain personally registered the information of Han Feng and Lin Xian'er, then let the two enter the city.
"Please abide by the laws in Ancient Saint City. I will report this matter to my superiors immediately. Someone should come to find you tomorrow."
"Thank you."
Han Feng and Lin Xian'er took the identity information given by the squad captain and strolled leisurely in the city.
"Master, you just stated you are a Dou Saint like that?"
Lin Xian'er was puzzled.
According to Han Feng's usual practice, shouldn't he disguise it a bit?
Han Feng smiled gently.
Before breaking through to Dou Saint, be cautious. After breaking through to Dou Saint, many things didn't need to be so tangled.
"I have to explain it sooner or later. Better to leave an impression first."
When out and about, identity is given by oneself, and strength is also made up by oneself.
With Han Feng's current combat power, pretending to be a veteran Dou Saint wouldn't be a problem.
But he was still relatively conservative and chose the term "newly promoted."
"They didn't seem that excited. It's a Dou Saint!"
If ordinary people saw one, wouldn't they kowtow immediately?
Han Feng smiled and said, "After all, it's the Gu Clan. Although the individual strength of that Black Submerged Army just now wasn't high, they know they have an incomparably solid backing."
This is called confidence.
Even if that squad captain was only a Dou Emperor, even if a Dou Venerate attacked, they would probably dare to challenge him head-on.
After entering Ancient Saint City, everything was the same.
There were many descendants in the Gu Clan, and no one cared if you were new or old.
As long as you could enter this Ancient Saint City, you were a capable person.
Han Feng and Lin Xian'er found a popular restaurant in the city to eat, then booked a room to stay.
The view from the top floor was excellent. Looking down, there was a lake view. In the center of the lake surface, there was a martial arts arena.
The Dou Qi Continent revered martial arts. This was where people in the city competed daily.
As long as passersby were interested, they could go up and fight.
It was guarded by the Black Submerged Army, so generally, no major problems would arise.
Lin Xian'er lay by the window, watching a competition going on below.
"The Gu Clan people aren't anything special."
She chuckled.
"Don't underestimate them."
Han Feng stood by the window, gazing at the scenery below.
"The cultivation atmosphere here is very good. Even if you pick a random person from the roadside, they are at least at the Dou Grandmaster level."
In the outside world, a Dou Grandmaster could be considered a small expert.
But here, it was just the most basic realm.
"Master, he isn't!"
Lin Xian'er smiled and pointed to a little brat holding a candied hawthorn below the restaurant.
Han Feng's mouth twitched slightly.
"Don't make it hard for a child..."
"Hehe."
Lin Xian'er smiled happily.
"Although not a Dou Grandmaster, having 9th stage Dou Disciple at this age is better than I was back then."
Children born in the Gu Clan, even if just descendants, had starting points unknown how much higher than others.
"Xian'er, want to go down and fight with the Gu Clan people?"
Lin Xian'er shook her head.
"No need. Even if I want to fight, better save my energy to compete with Xun'er."
Han Feng smiled slightly.
Xian'er and that girl Xun'er were old rivals; they had competed many times before.
"Then you have to be mentally prepared. Xun'er's strength should have improved very fast."
"I'm not bad either, okay!"
Lin Xian'er retorted.
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't cry if you lose then."
