XIAO SHUXIANG'S
191 - Second Sky Heritage
Far ahead of them, the White, Neutral, and Black Stream cultivators fought each other for an earth-level heirloom embodied in the Spear of the Spirit Qilin.
Only Sky Level Heirlooms have Spirits and it is rare for an Earth Level Heirloom to have a Spirit in them.
The spear they fought over was still imperfect but already possessed a spirit, it meant that the earth heirloom was able to break through the Sky Level when it was successfully refined.
"Sir.."
Hu Li looked at Xiao Shuxiang, he asked if his Master wanted to take the spear while these cultivators were fighting. He was confident that his Master could obtain the heirloom in just a few moves.
"No Hu Li, I prefer the sword. Let's go somewhere else.."
"Brother Xiao.."
Xiao Shuxiang was not a greedy person, the treasures in this tomb were not his, so he should not monopolize everything by himself.
If one wanted to think about it, Xiao Shuxiang would not need to explore the tomb if one wanted wealth. He could become the richest cultivator in this Continent by relying on his three skills, without even unlocking his identity that of a grandson of the Emperor of the Northern Continent.
?!
Hu Li suddenly stopped walking, there was a familiar feeling that instantly approached him. Xiao Shuxiang and Nie Shang were about to ask, but Hu Li immediately asked the two to follow him.
"What's the matter, Hu Li..?" Xiao Shuxiang ran after Hu Li from behind, the three getting further away from the fight of the three flow cultivators.
"This feeling was the same as back then, no longer wrong. This way..!"
Xiao Shuxiang did not get an answer to his question just now, but upon seeing Hu Li's serious face.. He's not fighting it.
!!
Nie Shang had only first run this fast, he was so breathless and felt his legs squeezing. But his face revealed shock as Hu Li led himself and Xiao Shuxiang to a cave's deepest place.
Beneath them, a sea of blazing fire raged. There was a large golden-yellow door across this sea of fire. The longer you stand, the more heat from the fire is felt.
"In there, sir..!" Hu Li pointed towards the golden door, this strange feeling was similar when he found the Night Star Sword.
Hearing him made Xiao Shuxiang surprised. Could it be that one of the Heavenly Heirlooms was behind that door?! But how to get through the flames in front of them?!
"Hmmm.." Xiao Shuxiang thought for a moment before taking out his three little blue flames.
The flames started to streak and blend with the flames of this ancient tomb, they were looking for a path that Xiao Shuxiang and his companions could cross.
Apparently there was a fire that was not hot at all, this was the entrance to the golden door. The problem was, when the three blue flames Xiao Shuxiang was about to return.. Suddenly the tail of the beast appeared which turned out to be a Demonic Beast in the form of a Fire Lizard.
!!
The three blue flames Xiao Shuxiang disappeared and appeared beside their Master. Nie Shang and Hu Li were surprised, moreover the two could see these fire lizards staring furiously at them.
This Demonic Beast's age was too terrifying, it was close to ten thousand years. Xiao Shuxiang almost forgot to breathe as the eyes of this animal glittered when he looked at her.
"I-I remember the first animal I killed. Her.. Looks like it's been a virgin for quite a while, a ha ha ha.. My God, why is this lizard looking at me like he's got a grudge..?"
Xiao Shuxiang laughed awkwardly, he did not even realize he was taking shelter behind Hu Li.
Xiao Shuxiang peeked at the lizard that kept staring at him with its body shrouded in flames. The next second, the lizard growled and attacked them.
!!
Hu Li embraced Nie Shang and jumped dodging the lizard's attack. While Xiao Shuxiang was protected by his Phoenix spirit.
"Hu Li's..! I am 'Your Master', why is it even Nie Shang that you are protecting?!"
Xiao Shuxiang looked at Hu Li in disbelief. Had it not been for his Phoenix spirit, he would have already become grilled meat by now.
"Sorry Master, I think Nie Shang needs me more than Young Master.."
Nie Shang was silent, clearly still not aware that he was about to burn. His heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, before finally racing faster.
"Here you go, you go to a safe place. I'll go in that door, if in thirty minutes I don't come back.. Get out of here and find Brother Jing. Wait for me where we agreed to before.."
Xiao Shuxiang clenched a sword from his Spatial Ring and immediately darted out using Water Breathing against this Flame Lizard.
Hu Li intended to help, but he noticed his Master's fighting moves not to defeat the Demonic Beast, but rather to look for a gap in order to pass through.
Xiao Shuxiang already remembered his path, aided by his three little blue flames.. He started to attack blindly towards this Fire Lizard.
"Seventh Stream.. Waves Attacker..!"
!!
The attack from Xiao Shuxiang's Water Breathing Technique collided with the other's flames producing a bluish-white smoke vapor as it was mixed with Xiao Shuxiang's small blue flame.
This opportunity was not wasted, Xiao Shuxiang immediately darted away with being led by one of his flames.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang could see this room was so spacious, it was yellow gold with the ceiling filled with glowing rocks.
He could also see a waist-high dragon-carved pillar in front of him. There was a wooden chest that had a strange aura on top of the pillar.
Tap
Tap
Xiao Shuxiang started walking towards the wooden coffin located not far in front of him without lowering his guard.
Xiao Shuxiang's little blue flame darted first, he floated above this chest and then opened the lotus flower-carved wooden chest for his 'Master'.
!!
Pure Qi instantly burst out from within the coffin, filling the room even partially into Xiao Shuxiang's Rooted Dantian.
"What's in that box?"
His blue flame hovered up and down in response to Xiao Shuxiang's question just now. He immediately approached his little blue flame and stared at the contents of the box that had opened.
"It's.."
Xiao Shuxiang picked up the object inside the box, a flute made of white jade. The color was inversely proportional to his Night Star Sword.
"What is this Sky Heritage..?" Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he was astonished that since the Sky Heirloom was a flute, how could this thing be used to kill?!"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang's head suddenly ached, as soon as the memory of this flute-owning cultivator filled his head.
Cultivators who had once worn this flute all came from the White and Neutral Stream. They were the best cultivators and had almost reached the level of immortality.
"Died..?"
With his eyes closed, Xiao Shuxiang could see the tragedy of every cultivator who had ever possessed this White Jade Flute.
They all died for sacrificing their own lives in order to bring out the original power of this flute. Each cultivator fought a different and extremely powerful enemy, and the payoff from defeating such an enemy was loss of life.
Until one of the cultivators at the end of his life bequeathed the White Jade Flute to a wandering swordsman who helped him. It was the warrior who owned this ancient tomb.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang opened his eyes, he rubbed the cold sweat on his forehead and began to pay close attention to the Heavenly Heirloom in his hands.
"It's been used a lot.." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed the White Jade Flute on his clothes, after being sure it was clean.. He tried to blow the flute.
!!
There was no sound whatsoever coming out, Xiao Shuxiang even let out a lot of power but still this flute did not make any sound.
"What's broken..?"
Xiao Shuxiang's gaze led to the old paper within the wooden city. He read the inscription saying the next owner of the White Jade Flute must remain on the path of truth, bringing peace, and prosperity wherever he goes.
Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times, This Heavenly Heirloom is in his hands. He who incidentally was a cultivator who had made chaos and fear wherever he stepped. It was obvious the White Jade Flute was in the wrong hands.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he heard the noise outside, moreover he could sense there was a cultivator who was like about to enter this place.
"If I take it, the man will be suspicious.." Xiao Shuxiang thought for a moment before taking out his three grains of Dragon Breath Pills.
He stuffed the three pills into the crate as a substitute for the White Jade Flute and inscribed the properties of the pill behind the wooden casket cover.
A worthy Sky Heirloom replacement. Xiao Shuxiang closed the chest and started to use the seal of the Moving Mirror as his feelings began to feel uneasy.
!!
The door opened slowly, Xiao Shuxiang looked around to find a place to hide.
He saw a cot on top of which was a coffin made of black jade, Xiao Shuxiang and his little blue flame darted out and hid behind the coffin as the door opened.
Xiao Shuxiang could only temporarily eliminate the air of his existence, yet he was not sure the cultivators who came could be fooled by his technique.
Tap
Tap
A long-haired and white-clothed cultivator in golden dragon style stepped towards the wooden coffin, where Xiao Shuxiang had placed his pill.
This cultivator looked to be 39 years old, his practice was at the Mortal Stage GrandMaster who was a little more at the Earth Stage, Xiao Shuxiang explained would be discovered if he had his existence back.
