Immortal God of War

Chapter 996 - 944: The Land of Inheritance, Senior Sister?

"What a remarkable word, ’calm.’"

Qin Feiyang murmured softly.

"Hmm?"

Young Master Hao looked at him, puzzled.

The General Tower Master also cast a curious glance at him, then put down the brush and asked with a smile, "How so?"

Qin Feiyang remained silent for a moment, then said, "Because within this word ’calm,’ I can see the painstaking efforts of you, the General Tower Master."

"Oh?"

The General Tower Master was immediately intrigued and smiled, "Tell me more."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Hao glanced again at the word ’calm’ on the white paper but couldn’t discern anything.

He then looked at Qin Feiyang and frowned, "It’s just a word, what hidden meaning could there be? Brother Mu, don’t be mysterious!"

"Mysterious?"

Qin Feiyang chuckled and shook his head, "As the ancients said, calm leads to certainty, certainty leads to wisdom, without calm there is chaos."

"Of course, this ’calm’ refers not to external tranquility, but to inner peace."

"Only with a calm mind can one achieve unity of body and mind, see through the essence of the world, and understand the root of all things."

"Similarly, in Buddhism and Taoism, there’s a saying: calm leads to enlightenment, and can also lead to the realization of the Way..."

At this point, Qin Feiyang turned to look at Young Master Hao and smiled, "If I guess correctly, this word ’calm’ by the General Tower Master is written specifically for you, Brother Hao."

"Written for me?"

Young Master Hao was taken aback.

"Yes."

"The Master hopes you can understand the true meaning of this word and focus on your cultivation."

Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

Young Master Hao frowned and looked at the General Tower Master.

But the General Tower Master didn’t respond, instead looking at Qin Feiyang and said, "Now I understand why Elder Wang likes you so much."

"Likes me?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

"You probably don’t know this yet!"

"In front of me, Elder Wang praises you highly, even to the point that he wishes to take you as his disciple."

The General Tower Master laughed.

"Uh!"

Qin Feiyang was shocked, then shook his head with a wry smile.

The General Tower Master sighed deeply, looked at Young Master Hao, and said, "Hao’er, if you could have half his wisdom, I would be content as your father."

"Am I really your biological son?"

"Yes, he is soon to become your direct disciple, so we’ll be like family."

"But isn’t he not one yet?"

"Must you say such things in front of him?"

"Besides, haven’t I already broken through to War Saint?"

Young Master Hao was certainly displeased, feeling embarrassed.

"Breakthrough?"

The General Tower Master was stunned and took a serious look at Young Master Hao, then immediately delighted.

Previously, he was too focused on talking to Qin Feiyang to notice Young Master Hao’s aura had already changed.

"How is it?"

"I entered War Saint in less than a hundred years, didn’t I do well enough for you?"

Young Master Hao said proudly.

The General Tower Master glared at him, then looked at Qin Feiyang and asked, "Can you tell me how many years you’ve cultivated?"

"Me?"

Qin Feiyang looked at Young Master Hao, hesitating a bit.

Young Master Hao said, "It’s okay, I’m not afraid of being put down, just say it."

"It’s been too long, I can’t remember exactly, but probably about two hundred years!"

Qin Feiyang said vaguely.

Young Master Hao immediately laughed, "See, I’m still more impressive!"

"Look at how pleased you are."

The General Tower Master glared at him again, then once more looked at Qin Feiyang and sent a message telepathically, "Thank you."

"Thank me?"

Qin Feiyang was momentarily stunned, puzzled in secret, "Why say that, Master?"

"I can tell, you didn’t speak the truth."

"I know you didn’t tell the truth because you didn’t want to discourage my son."

"Please take care of him in the future, since you are both young and have no generational gap."

The General Tower Master sent a message.

"Alright."

Qin Feiyang responded secretly.

The General Tower Master spoke with a smile, "Alright, let’s get back on topic. I’m taking you somewhere."

"I want to go too."

Young Master Hao hurriedly said.

"You?"

The General Tower Master furrowed his brows, contemplated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, since you’ve broken through to War Saint, you can give it a try."

With that.

He waved his sleeves, sweeping up Qin Feiyang and Young Master Hao into the air, heading deeper.

The General Tower Master’s speed was extremely fast, the ground and mountains beneath swept by like lightning, leaving Qin Feiyang and Young Master Hao only able to see blurry shadows.

It took about a hundred breaths.

The General Tower Master suddenly slowed down, and the mountains below clearly unfolded in Qin Feiyang’s view.

Below lay ranges upon ranges of majestic and grand mountains.

Fierce birds spread their wings in the sky, some as large as mountains, others as small as sparrows, but without exception, all exuded a terrifying aura!

In the mountain valleys, there were also packs of ferocious beasts.

Boom!

Suddenly.

Earth-shattering explosions erupted from somewhere below.

Qin Feiyang looked over, immediately turning pale with fright.

A cluster of mountains, about a hundred peaks, were rapidly moving, the earth trembling with each step.

Mountains moving, had they seen a ghost?

Young Master Hao transmitted, "That’s not a mountain, it’s a Stone Beast."

"Stone Beast?"

Qin Feiyang was stunned.

He had heard of these ferocious beasts, relics from ten thousand years ago.

Its exterior looks just like a mountain.

If it were lying still on the ground, you wouldn’t notice it’s a fierce beast at all.

But the fierce beasts here are extraordinarily powerful, aren’t they?

According to his observations, most of the fierce beasts and fierce birds here possess the strength of a War Emperor.

Young Master Hao seemed to notice Qin Feiyang’s confusion and communicated telepathically, "These fierce beasts exist solely to guard a certain place."

Qin Feiyang was shocked and suspicious.

What place could require so many powerful fierce beasts to guard it?

"The place of inheritance!"

Young Master Hao said.

"The place of inheritance?"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback.

Young Master Hao whispered, "You’ll understand once we arrive."

As they went deeper, Qin Feiyang became increasingly astonished.

Because deeper inside, there were almost exclusively War Emperor-level fierce beasts.

Soon!

A gigantic peak came into view.

The peak stood imposingly among the mountains, taller and more grand than any other peak, towering into the clouds.

But the summit of the giant peak was peculiar, as if someone had split it with an enormous axe, smooth as a mirror.

"There lies the place of inheritance."

Young Master Hao communicated to Qin Feiyang, his eyes revealing a strong desire as he looked at the summit.

Qin Feiyang looked up and saw a few blurred stone statues on the smooth summit.

Very tall, very large.

Even though he couldn’t yet make out the faces on the stone statues, he could already feel a strong oppressive force.

Swish!

A dozen breaths later.

The General Tower Master descended on the summit with two companions.

Qin Feiyang surveyed the summit, which spanned about half a mile, laid with dark stone bricks exuding an ancient aura.

And in the center of the summit, four stone statues stood in a row.

From left to right.

The first statue was of a white-haired old man, dressed in a white long robe, with a compassionate face and an ethereal aura about him.

The second statue was of a middle-aged man.

He was wearing a black long robe, with long hair draping over his shoulders, hands behind his back, and dark eyes gazing over the land with immense depth.

His entire being exuded a sharp and astonishing aura.

The third statue was of a woman.

Compared to the first two statues, she appeared particularly petite, but her temperament was even more outstanding.

Her smooth black hair was intricately tied up, adorned with a golden hairpin in the middle, exuding elegance and nobility.

Her features were exquisite, stature tall and slender, dressed in a light gold long skirt that trailed the ground, embroidered with a ’True Phoenix’ pattern.

She appeared just like an empress descended to the world, carrying immense majesty.

When Qin Feiyang looked at the fourth statue, he felt as if struck by lightning, his mind buzzing loudly.

The fourth statue, like the second one, was also of a middle-aged man.

But the difference was he wore an imperial purple gold dragon robe, exuding an astonishing aura of dominance.

And in his hands, he held a broken sword!

Wasn’t this his ancestor?

"How could this be?"

Qin Feiyang’s mind was thrown into chaos.

It must be known.

This was the place of inheritance of the General Tower.

And the so-called place of inheritance is actually the place to receive inheritance.

Such places could be said to be the most important restricted zones of the General Tower!

And for his ancestor, as the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire, how could his statue appear here?

"Greetings to the three ancestors."

Suddenly.

The voice of the General Tower Master rang out, waking Qin Feiyang from his thoughts.

"Ancestors?"

A hint of confusion appeared in his eyes as he followed the General Tower Master’s gaze.

Immediately.

His body and mind tensed up.

Under the first, second, and third stone statues, respectively, sat an elder.

These three elders had hair as white as snow, eyes like gold coins, and not a trace of aura about them, so their cultivation levels were indiscernible.

But Qin Feiyang could distinctly feel a powerful sense of crisis emanating from the three of them!

"Greetings to the three ancestors."

Young Master Hao also put away his frivolous attitude and bowed in salute to the three elders.

Noticing Qin Feiyang still nonchalantly sizing up the three, Young Master Hao quickly telepathically messaged, "Brother Mu, what are you doing? Hurry and pay your respects!"

Qin Feiyang shuddered and hurriedly bent over, saying, "Disciple Mu Ancestral, pays respects to the three seniors."

However.

Faced with the salutations from Qin Feiyang and the others, the three elders did not open their eyes, nor did they say a word.

Observing this, Qin Feiyang was taken aback to the extreme.

It made sense for these three elders to ignore him and Young Master Hao, after all, they were the younger generation.

But the General Tower Master is the supreme authority of the Forgotten Continent, in plain terms, its ruler.

So no matter what, facing the General Tower Master’s salute, they should at least respond!

Yet the three remained motionless, seeming not to even acknowledge the General Tower Master?

This certainly merits deep reflection.

Even ignoring the General Tower Master, what role do these three play within the General Tower?

However, the General Tower wasn’t surprised by their attitude, nor did he show even the slightest anger.

He turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Do you know who they are?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"Let me introduce them to you."

"The first statue is our Elixir Tower’s founding ancestor, also the first General Tower Master."

"The Elixir Tower was established single-handedly by him."

"The second statue is the second General Tower Master, who was also the founding ancestor’s only Closed-door Disciple."

"As for the third statue, she was the previous General Tower Master."

"Moreover, she is the second General Tower Master’s daughter and also my senior sister."

The General Tower Master said.
