From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 384 Breaking Through a Desperate Situation and Obtaining a Legacy

"Ziling!" I screamed desperately, my ears filled with the deafening roar of the collapsing passage.

At that moment, I felt as if I had returned to the modern world and was facing life and death once again!

No, I can't give up, absolutely not!

I suddenly stopped and tried to rush back, but was pulled back by a strong force.

Elder Qingfeng's weathered face was now filled with anxiety: "Xiao Yao, there's no time!"

If we don't leave now, we'll all die here!

I bit my lip so hard that my nails almost dug into my palm.

Zi Ling, that girl, is usually so chattering, like a happy little bird, but now...

"Don't worry about me, Sister Xiao Yao, you should go!"

"I...I'm fine!" Zi Ling's voice was trembling with tears, yet it still held a stubbornness.

“Ziling…” I choked up, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably.

"Go!" Elder Qingfeng roared hoarsely, his hand gripping me tightly like an iron clamp.

I took a deep breath and forcefully shook off Elder Qingfeng's hand.

No, I can't be so selfish!

Even if we have to die, we'll die together!

I turned around abruptly, wanting to rush towards Zi Ling, but suddenly felt my feet sink into the ground.

"Boom!"

A huge tremor came, and I lost my balance, falling forward uncontrollably.

Finished!

I closed my eyes in despair.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt as if I was floating in the air, surrounded by darkness, unable to see or hear anything.

Am I dead?

No, that's not right! I can feel my body, and I can still breathe!

I suddenly opened my eyes and found myself in a strange space.

There was no light here, but a gentle power enveloped my body, making me feel incredibly comfortable.

This is where?

I tried to stand up, but found that my body was so weak that I could barely muster any strength.

I struggled, crawling forward little by little.

I don't know how long I climbed, but I finally touched a piece of hard ground.

I leaned against the ground, panting heavily, trying to regain some strength.

Suddenly, I heard a faint sound.

I suddenly looked up in the direction the sound came from.

In the darkness, I saw a pair of eerie eyes staring at me without blinking.

"Who?" I asked in terror, my voice trembling.

"Heh..." A sinister voice echoed, "I didn't expect anyone would actually be able to get here."

I felt a jolt, and an ominous premonition washed over me.

"Who are you?" I asked again, trying to calm myself down.

"Who am I?" The voice chuckled softly. "I am the master of this land."

"This land?" I asked, puzzled. "What place is this?"

"This is... the Land of Inheritance," the voice said slowly.

A place of inheritance?

A thought suddenly struck me: Could this be the mysterious place with immense power that the ethereal immortal had spoken of?

"You...you are an ethereal immortal?" I asked tentatively.

"The Ethereal Immortal?" The voice seemed somewhat surprised. "You know him?"

“I…I’ve seen him before,” I said. “He sent me here to find the legacy.”

"Heh..." The voice laughed again. "It seems you are the chosen one."

"The chosen one?" I was even more confused. "What does that mean?"

"It means..." the voice paused, "...that you will inherit my power and become the new master."

My mind went blank; I couldn't understand what the other person meant at all.

I inherited his power? Became the new master? What on earth is going on?

“I don’t understand,” I said, shaking my head.

"It's alright if you don't understand," the voice said. "Soon, you will understand."

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a powerful force surge into my body.

I groaned in pain, feeling as if my body was being torn apart.

"ah……"

I clutched my head tightly and rolled around on the ground in agony.

This force is simply too powerful; I cannot withstand it at all!

I felt my consciousness gradually fading, as if I were about to disappear.

Just as I was about to lose consciousness, I suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps.

"Xiao Yao!"

I struggled to open my eyes and saw Ziling running towards me anxiously.

"Ziling..." I called out weakly.

"Sister Xiao Yao, how are you?" Zi Ling ran to my side and asked anxiously.

"I...I'm fine." I shook my head, wanting to tell her what had happened, but found myself unable to speak at all.

"Sister Xiao Yao, don't talk anymore, just rest." Zi Ling helped me up and let me lean on her.

Looking at Ziling's innocent face, my heart was filled with gratitude.

Fortunately, she is fine.

I closed my eyes, wanting to get some rest.

Suddenly, I felt a chilling killing intent coming towards us.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Xue Sha and Mo Yuan walking towards us with sinister smiles on their faces.

"Heh..." Blood Fiend said in a sinister tone, "I really didn't expect you to still be alive."

"How...how did you get here?" I asked in a panic.

"How did we get here?" Mo Yuan sneered. "We're here to send you on your way, of course."

"You...you can forget about it!" Zi Ling roared, blocking my way.

"You?!" Blood Fiend said disdainfully, "You're simply overestimating yourself."

"What if I join you?"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Elder Qingfeng slowly walked over.

"Old man Qingfeng?" Mo Yuan frowned. "You're still alive?"

"Hmph!" Elder Qingfeng sneered, "If anyone's going to die, it'll be you all first!"

"Is that so?" Blood Fiend sneered. "Then let's see!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Xue Sha and Mo Yuan launched an attack on us simultaneously.

"Watch out!" I exclaimed, trying to warn Zi Ling and Elder Qing Feng, but found that I couldn't move at all.

At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from my body.

I feel like a different person, full of strength and confidence.

"Heh..." I sneered, looking at Xue Sha and Mo Yuan, and said, "You think you can kill me?"

I slowly stood up, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions.

Xue Sha and Mo Yuan's faces instantly turned deathly pale.

"You...you..." Xue Sha looked at me in horror, unable to speak.

"What?" I sneered. "Now you're scared?"

I took a step forward, and Xue Sha and Mo Yuan were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

"Today is your death day!" I said coldly.

Suddenly, as if he had just realized something, Mo Yuan shouted, "Quick, let's go! Something's strange here!"

Although Xue Sha was unwilling, seeing Mo Yuan's panic, he knew things were going badly.

The two exchanged a glance, then turned and ran.

"Trying to run? Too late!" I snorted and was about to give chase.

"Sister Xiao Yao, don't pursue a cornered enemy!" Zi Ling suddenly shouted.

I paused, turning back to look at Ziling. She was looking at me with a worried expression.

I took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intent in my heart, and nodded.

“Let’s leave here first,” I said.

Elder Qingfeng nodded and led us deeper into the land of inheritance.

After walking for a short while, we arrived at a huge stone gate.

The stone gate was tightly closed, and it was covered with strange runes.

"Where...is this place?" Zi Ling asked curiously.

"This is the core of the Land of Inheritance," Elder Qingfeng said. "All the power and inheritance are behind this stone door."

"Then how can we get in?" Zi Ling asked.

Elder Qingfeng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

I walked up to the stone gate and carefully examined the runes on it.

These runes are so complex that I can't understand them at all.

Suddenly, I felt a familiar power surging out of my body.

This power resonated with the runes on the stone gate.

The stone door trembled slightly, then slowly opened.

"This... how is this possible?" Elder Qingfeng stared at me in shock, speechless.

I smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps, this is fate."

I took a deep breath and stepped through the stone gate.

Zi Ling and Elder Qing Feng exchanged a glance and followed them inside.

The stone gate slowly closed, isolating us from the outside world.

Beyond the stone gate lies a vast space.

The space was filled with a rich spiritual energy, making people feel incredibly comfortable.

In the center of the space, there is a huge altar.

An ancient treasure box was placed on the altar.

The treasure box emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire space.

"This...this is the inheritance?" Zi Ling asked in surprise.

I nodded and said, "That's right, this is what inheritance is."

I walked to the altar and slowly opened the treasure box.

Inside the treasure box was a jade slip.

The jade slip emanated a powerful energy that made my heart pound.

"What...what is this?" Zi Ling asked.

"This is... the legacy of the Immortal Venerable." A voice suddenly rang out.

We were startled and turned around abruptly.

A man dressed in white slowly walked over.

The man had a handsome face and an otherworldly air, as if he were untouched by worldly affairs.

"Who are you?" I asked warily.

The man smiled slightly and said, "Who I am is not important. What is important is... that you have received the inheritance of the Immortal Venerable."

His gaze fell on the jade slip in my hand.

“Now you can leave,” the man said.

"Leave?" I frowned and asked, "Where are we going?"

The man raised his head, looked into the distance, and slowly said, "Go...to your world."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a beam of light enveloped us.

I felt my body become light, as if I were about to fly.

"Wait!" I suddenly shouted, "You still haven't told me what this inheritance is? And who is the Immortal Venerable?"

The man did not answer, but smiled slightly, and his figure gradually disappeared.

“Remember,” his voice echoed through the space, “true power comes from within…”

I tried so hard to grab him, but I found that I couldn't grab anything at all.
