Chapter 3068: One Change After Another!
Peerless Medicine God · 第3068章 变故连连!
"Greetings, Master! Thank you for the grace of your inheritance. Kongtan will surely carry on your great legacy!"
Kongtan stepped forward to meet Wutian Ancestor and knelt respectfully.
Everyone watched him with immense envy.
Wutian Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back; even as a mere phantom, he commanded the admiration of all.
His gaze did not fall on Kongtan but passed through the crowd to look at Ye Yuan.
"Ye Yuan, are you willing to become my successor?" Wutian Ancestor looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly.
Hmm?
What was Wutian Ancestor saying?
Everyone was dazed, momentarily unable to react.
Hadn't the Twelve Dao Diagrams recognized Kongtan?
Why was Wutian Ancestor asking Ye Yuan?
Was there some mistake?
Kongtan stood frozen, stunned by the sudden turn of events.
"What's going on? Why is Wutian Ancestor asking Ye Yuan?"
"Isn't he a waste? Even if there was a mistake, there are many others to choose from. Why pick Ye Yuan?"
"Could it be that Wutian Ancestor has been dead so long he's gone senile?"
...
After a brief silence, an uproar erupted.
Everyone's gaze turned to Ye Yuan, filled with incomprehension.
They couldn't understand how Ye Yuan, who had become just like everyone else, suddenly became the center of attention again.
Even Wuyan Ancestor and the others were dumbfounded.
"Is this old man crazy? With so many geniuses to choose from, he picks a waste as his successor?" Wuyan said in bewilderment.
"If he chooses Ye Yuan, then his earlier words were just hot air," Fentian Sovereign also said in confusion.
Yunni looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, only to find him equally bewildered, and she felt relieved.
So even this guy couldn't foresee everything!
Since meeting Ye Yuan, she had always seen him plan carefully and act deliberately, as if nothing escaped his control.
Though his strength was weak, he always played the most crucial role.
She had come to see him in a new light.
Even just a moment ago, Ye Yuan had seemed confident.
But now, he was dumbfounded!
Well, that wasn't so bad.
Ye Yuan truly hadn't expected Wutian Ancestor to suddenly ask that question.
But soon, his brow furrowed.
This was a very bad omen!
"Are you about to make a move?" Ye Yuan asked in return.
Wutian smiled and nodded: "You're very clever!"
"Then, are you dead or alive now?" Ye Yuan asked again.
"You could say dead, or you could say alive," Wutian replied.
Ye Yuan frowned and asked further: "I'm curious, how did you place the Lost Spirit Palace into the Ganges River?"
"You actually noticed!" This time, even Wutian's face showed surprise.
Ye Yuan nodded: "I noticed from the moment I entered."
Wutian laughed: "I was right about you! In the future, you might very well reach my level!"
Ye Yuan shook his head: "I am a reverse cultivator."
Wutian said: "What of it? Which of us cultivators is not a reverse cultivator? No one has ever survived the Ganges River, yet didn't I? Become my successor, and you will be the only one of your era! How can one who follows in others' footsteps sweep the world?"
A flicker of surprise passed through Ye Yuan's eyes.
This was the first time he had heard someone not care about his identity as a reverse cultivator.
This Wutian Ancestor was truly unique.
Ye Yuan could sense his heroic spirit.
That kind of disdain for all under heaven, not even putting the heavens in his eyes.
Perhaps that was why he dared to use the strength of a single clan to contend against the heavens?
Though defeated, still honored!
Ye Yuan and Wutian's conversation was cryptic; no one understood what was happening.
The mighty ones of the heavens were like a bunch of fools.
It seemed the only ones in the know were Ye Yuan and Ancestor Wutian.
Ancestor Wutian was naturally in the know, but Ye Yuan—how could he be?
Yet they also gathered that the place they were in seemed to be the Ganges River?
This realm was actually situated within the Ganges?
The entire assembly erupted in uproar!
"Here—actually within the Ganges?"
"Impossible! How could a realm be hidden within the Ganges?"
"Ancestor Wutian's power is boundless; it's one thing for him to survive in the Ganges, but how could he hide the entire Lost God Palace in the river?"
"What exactly does this fellow intend to do?"
...
The crowd instantly exploded into chaos.
A flicker of disdain appeared in Ancestor Wutian's eyes—truly a bunch of fools!
How peerless and elegant was this ancestor?
Even in death, he would die spectacularly; how could he possibly pass his power to others?
He knew everything about this realm.
The world was drunk, but Ye Yuan alone was sober!
This kid, from start to finish, never believed in any inheritance.
He came here solely to reap benefits.
When the supreme sovereigns and彼岸 experts fought over the Twelve Heavenly Dao Charts, only Ye Yuan remained unmoved.
Moreover, this kid had incredible luck, actually managing to find four Heavenly Dao Charts!
In the end, he was the biggest winner!
"M-master... didn't you say that whoever gains the recognition of the Twelve Heavenly Dao Charts would inherit everything from you?" Kongtan panicked.
Wutian looked at Kongtan as if he were an idiot and said, "What kind of figure is this ancestor? Why would I need a disciple? Inherit my legacy? Hah, you're truly a toad lusting after swan meat!"
"B-but... what about Ye Yuan?" Kongtan felt his intelligence had been devoured by dogs.
Drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain!
In the end, he had been toyed with all along!
Wutian said indifferently, "He is different from you."
Among the crowd, Hu Gaoshan suddenly stood up and walked toward Ye Yuan.
But at this moment, Hu Gaoshan's demeanor was completely different from before!
Ye Yuan watched Hu Gaoshan approaching and felt a sense of alarm.
Yun Ni beside him also narrowed her eyes, fully on guard, as if facing a great enemy!
Hu Gaoshan came before Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Ye Tiansheng, could you entrust the Twelve Heavenly Dao Charts in your hand to me for safekeeping?"
He simply looked calmly at Ye Yuan, unconcerned about Yun Ni beside him, as if doing something very ordinary.
Ye Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. Only he and Yang Qing knew about the Twelve Heavenly Dao Charts.
If there was one more, it would be Wutian!
But Hu Gaoshan actually knew as well!
Ye Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Hu Gaoshan. He already knew the other's identity.
"I never expected that the esteemed Lord of Reincarnation would be hiding right beside me!" Ye Yuan sneered.
"What? L-lord of Reincarnation?"
"Has Ye Yuan lost his mind? The Lord of Reincarnation is mysterious and unfathomable; how could he appear here?"
"This guy is just Di Haotian; how could he be the Lord of Reincarnation?"
"Wait, aren't the Twelve Heavenly Dao Charts in the sky? How are they with Ye Yuan?"
...
A single stone stirred a thousand ripples!
In this short quarter-hour, changes came one after another, leaving everyone dazzled.
Hu Gaoshan looked at Ye Yuan and smiled, "Old ghost Wutian spoke truly—you are indeed very clever!"
