Chapter 1478 - 1477: Zhang Bin's Vow (Eighth Update)

"Buddha, 3.6 billion years ago, you must have sensed that Xue Ruyan was in mortal danger because if she fell, she would truly die. That's why you intervened and sent me back in time. However, how could you wield such great power to reach 3.6 billion years into the future? In other words, you could set up a time-space formation 3.6 billion years in the future to let me travel through time, is that even possible?" Zhang Bin asked in confusion, his face also full of anticipation.

If this is true, then when he becomes incredibly strong in the future, he might be able to travel 3.6 billion years back and save Ding Xiang.

"The mysteries of Time Dao Law are endless; nothing is impossible. However, there's a principle that history is almost unchangeable! You just need to know that you have nothing to do with that time and space of the Ice Clan. Furthermore, the fate of the Ice Clan's extinction does not change at all! Xue Ruyan was never a part of the Ice Clan. Therefore, she will not fall. Allowing you to travel back was within the rules. As for Ding Xiang, she was one of Xue Ruyan's nine adopted daughters and a true member of the Ice Clan. So, she completely fell and cannot be revived." The Tathagata Statue clearly understood what Zhang Bin was thinking and said calmly.

"No, absolutely not! I will never allow a woman who belongs to me, Zhang Bin, to fall. Even if it means destroying heaven and earth, I will save Ding Xiang." A ferociously intense aura erupted from Zhang Bin as he shouted angrily.

"Blessed be, blessed be." The Tathagata Statue let out a soft sigh, "Perhaps, an Immortal Emperor level might have a way, but it would come at a great cost!"

"Then I will cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor and save Ding Xiang!" Zhang Bin shouted resolutely, "If even becoming an Immortal Emperor doesn't work, I will break through the universe and search for a solution beyond it!"

He did not blame or resent the Tathagata for allowing him to travel through time, because during this journey, he had accomplished significant tasks and acquired the most precious treasures.

These most precious treasures were not only the Heavenly Demon Technique but also Xue Dingxiang's and the many Ice Clan scientists' research on Foundation Establishment.

Although the research has not yet succeeded and High-grade Magical Artifact Foundation Establishment is not yet possible.

However, a direction has been indicated, and the theory has been created.

In the future, as long as research continues, perhaps success can be achieved.

Then it would be possible to use a High-grade Magical Artifact for Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, Zhang Bin also finally understood why in the original history, Ma Rufei, a cultivator without much talent, also established his foundation, because he himself had researched a magical method of using a High-grade Magical Artifact for Foundation Establishment, and then used a High-grade Magical Artifact to help Ma Rufei establish his foundation.

It might not be easy for him to obtain an Elf and a Heavenly Treasure, but obtaining a High-grade Magical Artifact is not too difficult.

This is of such significant importance that it can rapidly enhance the strength of Human Cultivators.

Laying a solid foundation to deal with the Terrifying Black Prison Star Warship.

"Rumble, rumble..."

A terrifying thunderous sound echoed through heaven and earth, seemingly responding to Zhang Bin's words.

And also seemed to be signaling some kind of omen.

"This is not heaven and earth responding to your vow, but a warning for me revealing secrets that ought not to be revealed. Haha... I, Tathagata, am not too concerned with such warnings. However, this is just an image and mana I left 3.6 billion years ago. Now the mana has been used up. Farewell, see you in the Immortal Realm, and if there's time, visit Shaolin once." Tathagata said calmly.

With a loud crash, the statue shattered into powder.

It floated into the air, then transformed into five-colored light, completely disappearing without a trace.

"Truly impressive, worthy of being called the Buddha. 3.6 billion years ago, he acted, directly reaching the future, possibly seeing my genius and strength, and my ability to help Xue Ruyan, allowing me to travel back. Yet, he let me travel back naked, so as not to alter history. Moreover, the mana he left 3.6 billion years ago could be sustained until today." Zhang Bin marveled, pondering when he would become so strong.

He reminisced for a long time, then his face revealed a peculiar expression; though he traveled back in time and didn't change the outcome, didn't impact the battle, he managed to deceive Mo Yi and obtain the Heavenly Demon Technique. He wondered whether this counted as changing history?

Thinking this, the grief in his heart was somewhat alleviated.

And knowing that Ding Xiang was destined to fall 3.6 billion years ago, whether he traveled through time or not would not change the outcome, and realizing that emperor-level powers could revive Ding Xiang at a great cost, he buried his sadness deep within.

However, his hatred for Mo Yi and Tyrant Demon Emperor had not diminished in the slightest.

Once he becomes strong, he intends to level the Demon Realm, kill Mo Yi, and eliminate the Tyrant Demon Emperor.

To avenge Ding Xiang!

Zhang Bin then felt a bit frustrated and muttered, "This is the Hall of Inheritance, meant for inheritance. Although I've learned the Ice God Technique and can cultivate to Ascension Realm Great Perfection, is there no subsequent cultivation technique? Xue Ruyan may be the reincarnation of Guanyin, so the cultivation techniques she created couldn't be that simple."

However, Zhang Bin quickly found his own answer, the Ice God Technique was not created by Guanyin.

It was created by the Ice Clan.

Guanyin was merely reincarnated to save the Ice Clan and oppose the Demon Sect.

She had not awoken her memory, so naturally, she couldn't leave behind any powerful inheritance.

"Tathagata also left no treasures for me. Truly stingy." Zhang Bin muttered, but his eyes glowed, right, Tathagata asked me to visit Shaolin when I have time, perhaps he left something for me there, hehehe...

He immediately walked out of the room, then froze like an idiot.

For the main hall had changed.

Completely different from before.

The space had expanded, and an additional statue appeared.

It was actually a statue of Xue Ruyan.

"Now this genuinely looks like a place for inheritance. Earlier I must have stepped into the time-travel formation set by Tathagata." Zhang Bin murmured to himself, slowly walking to the statue of Xue Ruyan, muttering in confusion, "Tathagata said the entire Ice Clan fell. But then, who carved this statue? Could it be that Mo Yi didn't find the fan on Earth, nor the Ice Snow Heaven, left some demon cultivators, and went away. The descendants of the Ice Clan erected the statue here and retrieved Ding Xiang's skull. Later, the remaining demon cultivators discovered the descendants of the Ice Clan, leading to many battles until the Ice Clan was completely annihilated. But the inheritance was preserved."

However, he was still puzzled why the demon cultivators did not destroy the inheritance here?

Why keep it intact?

Is there perhaps another secret or reason I don't know?

Nonetheless, Zhang Bin did not dwell on these unimportant details.

He gazed at the statue of Xue Ruyan with complex emotions, really wanting to talk to her, converse.

But he clearly knew that once the statue of Xue Ruyan spoke, it would turn to dust.

The inheritance here might not even remain then?

After all, the descendants of the Ice Clan considered Xue Ruyan, who ascended to the Immortal Realm, as their most powerful ancestor.

Used for inheritance, they set up an immensely terrifying Great Array for inheritance.

Perhaps, the Great Array for inheritance even contained the handiwork of a great power like Tathagata.
