Chapter 1584: The Legacy of the Fifth Generation Ancestor of the Jian Family

Chapter 1584: Chapter 1584: The Legacy of the Fifth Generation Ancestor of the Jian Family

Yang Yan couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Jian Wuming smiled bitterly and explained, "It’s truly because simply mentioning it would bring about catastrophic disaster, so I am unwilling and dare not speak his great name."

"According to the historical records, back then, the True Immortal mastered the Origin of Life Rules, with no further mentions beyond that."

Yang Yan captured a key point.

The True Immortal mastered the Life Rule, how similar it is to the Spirit Rule?!

Yang Yan understood that perhaps the True Immortal did not die back then, and the current Spirit might very well be the True Immortal from that time.

Ancient True Immortal and the current Immortal Emperor share the same realm.

They wield the Rule Origin.

And the later generations can no longer become beings who wield the same Origin.

But in Ancient Times, the True Immortal perished and disappeared, leaving today’s Ancient True Immortal position vacant, which allowed the current Immortal Emperor to exist.

However, countless years have passed, and now those in the Immortal Emperor Realm are but a handful.

While Yang Yan thought about these things, he cut off his connection with the World Tree.

He was extremely puzzled, not knowing what Spirit intended by carrying the World Tree core into his body.

He had to be vigilant, preventing Spirit from discovering he knew her secret and subsequently killing him.

Yang Yan suddenly felt his heart grow heavy but did not reveal even a hint of it.

Yang Yan chuckled lightly, "Ah, father-in-law, how do you know so much? You wouldn’t be the one left behind after the Ancient True Immortal battled, would you?"

Jian Wuming could easily detect Yang Yan’s teasing and became furious, "You brat, what nonsense are you saying!"

"If I were the one who obtained the existence of the World Tree back then, would I still be stuck at the True Immortal level, unable to make any progress?!"

Yang Yan awkwardly smiled, not expecting that a casual remark would provoke a painful memory for Jian Wuming.

But this is entirely understandable.

After all, reaching the True Immortal state, making further progress is indeed extremely difficult.

Some people become True Immortals, and even after ten thousand years cannot take that step forward.

This surely relates to opportunity, but more due to talent.

Simultaneously, this is why True Immortals occasionally entered into enlightenment, only to be disturbed by others and could easily destroy a domain.

And at this moment, Yang Yan’s words were akin to suggesting Jian Wuming lacks talent?

Yang Yan quickly changed the subject, saying, "Senior, I am curious, what legacy did the five generations of ancestors buried in the Jian Family’s back mountain intend to pass down?"

Jian Wuming was still angry, snorting coldly, "I don’t know, if you want to find out, go seek it yourself."

Yang Yan was extremely surprised and blurted out, "Hasn’t anyone in the Jian Family obtained the legacy after all these countless years?! Could it be... the legacy conditions set by the five ancestors are extremely harsh?"

Jian Wuming, whose anger had dissipated some, flared again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Yan brat, are you looking for death? You actually doubt the talent qualifications of my ancestors?"

Yang Yan then realized.

His one sentence had offended everyone in the Jian Family.

Fortunately, Jian Mingyin quickly grabbed Jian Wuming and explained, "Actually, it’s not that the Jian Family lacks the ability to obtain the legacy, but acquiring the ancestors’ legacy requires a huge sacrifice."

"However, those cultivated deeply in our family cannot afford such a sacrifice."

Yang Yan became very curious and hurriedly asked, "What sacrifice is so great that your family cannot bear it?"

By this time, Jian Wuming’s anger had also subsided. He snorted coldly, "Abolish cultivation and redo the cultivation path. It doesn’t matter how much time it takes, as long as previous cultivation is abandoned."

Yang Yan’s expression turned extremely peculiar.

Back when he came to the Vast Sea, in the Land of Mist, he had a similar experience.

Yet he didn’t expect to meet this condition now.

Could there be some unforeseen reason behind it all...

Yang Yan composed his somewhat excited mood and asked again, "Is there only this one requirement?"

Jian Wuming snorted coldly and ignored Yang Yan.

Jian Mingyin softly said, "Just this one condition is necessary. As for why, the ancestor never explained."

"Perhaps... only when the inheritor arrives will we know."

Yang Yan laughed lightly, "Father-in-law, may your son-in-law go to the back mountain to try an experiment?"

Jian Wuming’s eyebrows subtly twitched, then he said indifferently, "As you wish. My Jian Family’s back mountain is open to anyone as long as you have the courage."

Yang Yan’s heart filled with jubilation.

Jian Mingyin softly said, "The ancestor’s will shall appear in half a month, by then I’ll accompany you!"

Yang Yan hurriedly nodded.

If he didn’t nod, Jian Wuming’s murderous gaze might very well tear him apart.

Over the next few days, Yang Yan truly enjoyed himself.

Led by Jian Mingyin, he toured around the Jian Family, and for a time, attracted many romantic rivals.

However, currently, Yang Yan can be called the number one below the True Immortal, so naturally no one dared to come seeking death.

During this period, accompanied by Jian Mingyin, Yang Yan also made a trip to the back mountain.

But when they arrived, the ancestor’s will hadn’t appeared, and Yang Yan found no abnormalities, leaving disappointed.

One day, Yang Yan was meditating in the cave arranged by Jian Wuming.

Jian Mingyin quietly crept into Yang Yan’s cave.

Yang Yan naturally sensed Jian Mingyin’s arrival, and a smile curled up at his lips, then he moved.

Appearing again, he already held Jian Mingyin in his arms, back in the same place.

Yang Yan smirked mischievously, "What, does my little darling miss me? If you miss me, come openly. Being so sneaky, I thought I encountered a thief."

Yang Yan’s hands did not behave, wandering all over Jian Mingyin, causing her to become overwhelmed in merely moments.

Blushing, she slipped from Yang Yan’s grasp and whispered, "Today is the day when my clan’s fifth generation ancestor’s will appears; I’ve come to call you."

Yang Yan then put away his roguish smile and, with a solemn expression, said to Jian Mingyin, "Okay, I understand. Let’s go!"

Yang Yan’s figure flickered, reappearing by the back mountain.

At this time, Jian Wuming was also at the back mountain.

Yang Yan nodded slightly to Jian Wuming, then turned his heavy gaze toward the expansive grave within the back mountain.

At this moment, not only was the grave where the fifth generation ancestor was buried, but the entire back mountain transformed into a Ghostly Land.

The entire back mountain seemed like a spectral realm, with gods and demons dancing chaotically.

Yang Yan nodded to Jian Mingyin beside him, released his grip on her hand, and stepped into the back mountain, heading toward the tomb where the fifth generation ancestor was buried.

Whenever the ghosts approached Yang Yan, his surrounding Wish Power pulsed gently, causing the ghosts to turn to ash.

Thus, Yang Yan successfully approached the expansive grave of the fifth generation ancestor.
