Bai Ya only emitted a wisp of aura, yet Lu Ming felt his whole body turn ice-cold. With his current cultivation level, facing Bai Ya was like an ant facing an elephant, utterly powerless to resist.
Horrible, extremely terrifying!
This was Lu Ming's feeling. He had a feeling that if Bai Ya wanted to attack him, he could kill him with a flick of his finger. He had never felt this way with the Ancestral Dragon or the alien Saint Ancestor.
Lu Ming was even more shocked!
A being like Bai Ya has been sealed here, unable to leave for generations.
Furthermore, Bai Ya's master, Jing Yu, must have been even more powerful, yet he was killed. Just how strong must their enemy have been?
Furthermore, there are many cursed places in Huangquan Mountain. Could these also be methods laid by their enemies?
A series of thoughts raced through Lu Ming's mind.
"However, there is always a way out. In the darkness, there is always a glimmer of hope. Every ten thousand eons, the seal on Mount Huangquan will loosen, and you outsiders will be able to enter!"
“We have been searching for a suitable candidate, someone who can inherit the master’s legacy. Unfortunately, each time, the number of people who come from outside is small, and those with high talent are extremely rare. We have waited for a long time, and finally we have found you!”
Bai Ya said.
"Senior, there must be some requirements for me to inherit Senior Jingyu's legacy, right?"
Lu Ming said.
Bai Ya looked at Lu Ming with an appreciative expression and said, "You're very smart, that's right, you do have some requirements!"
"I can tell you that our master was framed and wronged, and died unjustly. His lineage was sealed here forever. So, if you want to inherit our master's legacy, you must swear by the very essence of your life that you will avenge our master, clear his name, and save us!"
As expected, Lu Ming knew this was no ordinary person.
Lu Ming smiled wryly and said, "Senior, even with your cultivation level, or Senior Jingyu's cultivation level, you are no match for them. How could I possibly do it?"
"You may not be able to do it now, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to in the future. There's no time limit for this. With your talent, you might be able to surpass your master in the future. Although this is difficult, there is still some hope!"
I can tell you,
What you have gained and comprehended so far is only a fraction of what your master has passed down. If you could receive the master's inheritance, you would avoid many detours in the future!
White Teeth began to seduce Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's mind raced as he began to think.
The owner of Bai Ya, Jing Yu, was clearly an incredibly terrifying being, whose cultivation level far exceeded Lu Ming's imagination.
Helping someone like that seek revenge would be extremely dangerous.
But Lu Ming immediately thought of the Evil God Clan.
If both the alien patriarch and the murderous patriarch were to recover, he probably wouldn't even be able to get past the evil god race. Everyone in the heavenly realm would die, including his family and friends.
As for agreeing to Bai Ya's request to help Jing Yu avenge himself, that would be many years from now, and even if he failed, only he would die.
Moreover, if someone of Jingyu's caliber could obtain the other party's inheritance, perhaps they would have a way to fight against the Evil God Clan.
Having thought this through, Lu Ming had already made his decision.
"Okay, senior, I agree!"
Lu Ming said.
"good!"
Bai Ya was overjoyed and said, "However, you still have to swear an oath on the very essence of your life!"
An oath made with the very essence of life is completely different from a blood oath.
Blood oaths, once one reaches the Martial Emperor realm, are sufficient to contend with them.
However, swearing an oath on the very essence of life directly affects that essence. Not to mention a Martial Emperor, even a Martial God would find it difficult to resist. If one breaks the oath, one will suffer terrible punishment.
Immediately, Lu Ming made the Oath of Life Origin as requested by Bai Ya.
"Senior, I still don't know who Senior Jingyu's enemy is."
Lu Ming said.
How can you take revenge if you don't even know who your enemy is?
Do you know about the Taixu Holy Dynasty?
Bai Ya pondered for a moment, then asked.
"The Great Void Holy Dynasty? Never heard of it!"
Lu Ming shook his head.
"Never heard of it? That's normal. Those guys must have sealed us away in a very remote place. You should have heard of the Boundless Star River, right?"
Bai Ya said.
"The Boundless Galaxy?"
Lu Ming was even more bewildered.
"I've never heard of the Boundless Galaxy, but surely I've heard of the Primordial Universe?"
Bai Ya said.
Lu Ming shook his head vigorously.
"Never heard of this in the primordial universe?"
Bai Ya was completely dumbfounded, staring at Lu Ming, speechless.
Lu Ming couldn't help but touch his nose. He really had never heard of it. Was it something shameful not to have heard of it?
"Where exactly did those guys seal us away? We've never even heard of the Primordial Universe. No wonder so few geniuses have come in all these years!"
"Ruthless! Those guys are really ruthless! They're making sure we'll never be able to turn things around!"
White Tooth's face was gloomy, and he was gritting his teeth.
Lu Ming was very smart and didn't say a word.
It took a while for White Teeth to calm down.
"You know nothing about this. Even if I explain it to you, you won't be able to explain it clearly. How about this, you inherit your master's legacy first!"
After Bai Ya finished speaking, a scroll appeared in his hand. When he opened the scroll, he saw a young man, handsome and lifelike.
It was none other than the owner of Bai Ya, Jing Yu!
Moreover, the aura of domination emanating from this portrait was astonishingly strong, countless times stronger than any statue Lu Ming had ever come into contact with.
"Lu Ming, use your Dominator's Way to resonate with the portrait of your master, and you will naturally be able to inherit your master's legacy!"
Bai Ya said.
Lu Ming nodded and immediately activated the Dao of Domination.
Sure enough, as soon as he activated the Dao of Domination, a layer of purple-gold light spread across the painting.
After a moment, the painting transformed into a beam of light and flew into Lu Ming's mind.
At this moment, Lu Ming seemed to see a young man standing in his sea of consciousness with his hands behind his back, radiating a dazzling purple-gold light, which was the vast intent of a sovereign.
"war!"
Just then, the young man shouted, and the word "war" flew out.
The word "war" is filled with an ancient aura, as if it has traversed endless years and come from the long river of time.
It seemed to represent the origin of all battles in this world, mysterious and unfathomable, countless times more profound than the 'battle' character that Lu Ming had comprehended before.
After a long while, all the strange phenomena in Lu Ming's mind disappeared, and only two things remained in his sea of consciousness.
A beautiful painting!
An ancient word for 'war'!
As for other information, there wasn't a single bit, nor any cultivation techniques or secrets, which greatly disappointed Lu Ming.
"So? What did you gain from your master's legacy?"
White Tooth quickly asked.
"Just two things: a painting and an ancient character for 'war,' nothing else!"
Lu Ming said with some disappointment.
"I see, I understand now. Master sealed everything within the scroll. It must be because your cultivation level is too low that you haven't received any information!"
Bai Ya said.
