"You... called here?"
Qin Yu felt that to unravel the mysteries, he had to ask the skull.
Although it was a bit absurd, the whole incident was cloaked in an abnormal aura from inside out.
"It seems, Qin Qingfeng that kid, has kept his word. He didn't disclose my identity to anyone, you included!"
Skulls definitely can't speak, yet a voice appeared out of thin air within the stone chamber.
"Who... exactly are you?"
Qin Yu was even more puzzled.
When Grandfather passed away, he was almost eighty. However, this voice called Grandpa "kid," could it be that he lived over a hundred years?
No, of course, there's another possibility. He knew Grandpa when Grandpa was still a youth, and the owner of the voice was already an old man.
"? I need to think about that.... Well.... do you know the Wu Clan?"
After pondering for a mont, the voice asked in return.
"I do!"
Qin Yu nodded.
Because the mysterious Phoenix hailed from the Wu Clan, which was one of the ancient sects.
"Then it's easy, I am the Wu Clan's number one expert, Li Jiutian."
The voice began to introduce itself.
"Wait, can you first tell if you're a human or a ghost?"
Though Qin Yu was brave, speaking to an elusive voice still made him a bit uneasy at heart.
"I don't know if there are ghosts in this world, but I should be dead. Just that before dying, I used the Wu Clan's secret technique to store my mory, voice, and thoughts in a ring. If I'm not mistaken, that ring should be on your hand!"
The voice seed keenly aware that it had died and beco a skeleton.
"Alright, the ring is indeed on my hand; it was given to by Grandpa. Do you want it back?"
Qin Yu spread his fingers and shook the ring, still unclear about the mysterious voice's intentions for summoning him.
"No, I'm dead, what's the point in taking the ring back? I just want to entrust you with two things. First, to lay my bones to rest. Second, to accept my inheritance, so that my life's efforts won't be wasted with no one to follow!"
The mysterious voice said.
"Let's... sort this out first."
Qin Yu didn't rush to respond, as he had too many questions in his mind.
"Go ahead!"
The mysterious voice seed patient.
"First of all, if you're the Wu Clan's top expert, you must be incredibly powerful. How did you die in a small place like Phoenix Village?"
Qin Yu asked his foremost question.
"Oh, I'm not only the Wu Clan's top expert but also the Demonic Path's top expert. I cultivated a demonic technique that backfired, killing many people, and even the Wu Clan despised . Later, I was chased and seriously injured, and just then t your grandfather.
Your grandfather brought back to Phoenix Village and hid in this crevice, coming every so often to administer acupuncture and treat my illness. However, with the heavy bloodshed I caused, I suffered retribution; my health deteriorated day by day. Finally, before dying, I summoned your grandfather and handed the ring over to him.
If he could gain the ring's acknowledgnt, he would receive my inheritance. Evidently, your grandfather's talent was lacking; all these years passed, and he never gained the ring's acknowledgnt.
Of course, this was also why he never left Phoenix Village in his entire life. He was waiting, waiting for the ring to recognize him. Unfortunately, the ring chose you. Otherwise, that ti you were thrown off the cliff, if it wasn't for my ring protecting you, you would've died long ago."
The mysterious voice said a lot in one breath, detailing the connection between him and Grandfather Qin very clearly.
"So that's how it was. When Grandfather gave this ring, he indeed didn't ntion its origin. He only said that if soone recognized this ring, they would help out. But, he also hoped that no one would recognize this ring!"
After hearing the mysterious voice's words, Qin Yu had unraveled many of his doubts.
Because the ring belonged to a master of the Wu Clan and he was also the number one master on the Demonic Path, he must have offended many people in his life. If his enemies recognized the ring, it would definitely bring unwarranted disasters upon him.
Conversely, if the descendants of the mysterious voice recognized the ring, they would surely help him out, considering the favor Grandfather had done by saving their elder.
Huh?
At that thought, a lightbulb went off in Qin Yu's head, and he asked again, "Who is Phoenix to you?"
"Phoenix? Hmm... she's probably my great-granddaughter, I've never t her. But in our lineage, we na ourselves after mythical beasts, my son is nad Azure Dragon."
The mysterious voice seed to think for a mont before replying.
So that's it!
Qin Yu nodded and continued to ask, "Another question, there's a cluster of black energy in my Dantian which is not under my control, what is it?"
"That's a strand of essence energy I left in the ring. With your weak cultivation, you definitely can't control it."
Said the mysterious voice.
"Alright, then one last question. Is there a realm above the Channel-Opening Realm? And what is your cultivation level?"
Since the black stream was the essence energy of a master on the Demonic Path, and since the man was dead and Qin Yu couldn't return it, he might as well let it take root and grow within his body, as long as it didn't harm him.
"Above the Tong Qiao, there certainly are other realms, but it's been too long, and I can't rember clearly. I've said so much, my secret technique is about to fail. Co stand before my corpse and kowtow to accept my inheritance!"
The voice of the mysterious entity grew weaker, clearly feeble.
"This...."
Qin Yu showed a perplexed expression, wondering if it was really appropriate to accept the inheritance of a Demonic Path master.
"Kid, I know what you're worried about! Let ask you, if a sword is wielded by a good person, can it not be used to uphold justice and aid the weak? Conversely, if it's held by a bad person, does it not beco a weapon of murder? In the end, the sword is innocent; it depends on who wields it. Likewise, my inheritance is clean; I only wish not to let my efforts go to waste, not to force you onto the Demonic Path!"
After speaking, the voice urged, "Hurry up, I don't have much ti left!"
"Alright then!"
Qin Yu admitted that what the other party said was quite persuasive.
By receiving his inheritance, as long as he maintained a righteous mind, at most he was gaining access to powerful forces.
Thinking of Phoenix, Han Qingying, and those two Dual Cultivation masters, with their incredible strength, Qin Yu felt it was ti to enhance his own cultivation.
With this in mind, Qin Yu knelt before the skull and respectfully kowtowed.
Swish...
A black light flashed and imprinted onto Qin Yu's forehead.
The amount of information was overwhelming, causing Qin Yu to feel an imnse headache, unable to ticulously sort through it.
"I'll tell you one last thing, I ca across that ring by chance, so how many secrets it hides is now up to you to uncover!"
With those words, the mysterious voice completely vanished.
