C65 Inheritance monolith forest
When everyone was still at the bottom of the red peak, surprised by Wu Yi's corpse and guessing the culprit, Gu Hao had already snuck onto the red peak.
This mountain peak was precipitous and tall. It was completely red, and even the sand was red. It was a very rare sight.
The entire mountain peak had been set up with powerful restrictive spells, preventing people from entering.
To climb up the mountain, the only way was to walk on a mountain road made of sparkling and translucent red stones. Furthermore, one could only climb, and could not fly.
Of course, to the current Gu Hao, forbidding the air was indeed meaningless. After all, the current Gu Hao was only an Earth Elemental Realm cultivator. Even if he could not control himself, he would not be able to fly.
As the mountain road was somewhat rugged and Gu Hao's body was injured, it wasn't too fast to reach it. After walking for more than two hours, he finally reached the peak of the mountain.
Along the way, Gu Hao had not only climbed the mountain, but also swallowed and refined the two Origin Condensation Pills and one Energy Accumulation Pill that he had plundered from Wu Yi's place.
These three pellets were all replenished with spirit power, and were not of much use to Gu Hao's injuries. However, it could also help Gu Hao recover thirty to forty percent of his cultivation, so he wouldn't be powerless.
"Is the inheritance here?"
Gu Hao stood at the top of the red peak's peak and muttered to himself as he watched with furrowed brows.
At the peak of red peak, it was as if the tip of a sharp sword had cut off the mountain. In the center of the hall, there were a lot of red stone tablets.
Some of these monuments were high and some were low, but they were increasing in size towards the center.
In the middle of the forest, there was a three meter tall and two meter wide gigantic red stone monument. On the surface of the stone tablet, there was an equally large golden seal engraved: Crimson!
"Could it be that the legacy is on these stone steles?"
Gu Hao looked at the monolith forest in doubt.
"Little Brother, you've guessed correctly. The inheritance of the Crimson Monarch is in this Monolith Forest!"
Before Gu Hao even finished his sentence, a voice came from behind him.
Gu Hao was shocked, he immediately turned his head, and upon seeing the person, he squinted his eyes and subconsciously took two steps back.
The person who spoke was an extremely thin old man in a flowery robe. He wore a large white robe and walked over from the stone steps of the mountain path with a smile on his face.
Gu Hao recognized this old man. It was precisely the number one refiner of the Sun Force, Guo Lianchuan, who was discussed by the numerous cultivators in front of the Inheritance Hall not long ago.
Behind the Guo Laozi followed the Yan Nation's prefecture overseer, Murong Lie, who Lin Youyou had warned him to be careful of.
"Don't worry, little brother. This Legacy of the Chieftain is destined and cannot be obtained by force of fate. Cultivators who came here, regardless of their level of cultivation, all had the right to fight for the inheritance. This old one might not be a saint, but I am definitely not that evil person.
Guo Laozi thought that Gu Hao was afraid of his own cultivation, hence he subconsciously retreated, smiling as he explained to Gu Hao.
"If that's the case, then I'm thinking too much."
Gu Hao cupped his hands towards Guo Laozi and replied.
Of course, Gu Hao was not afraid of snatching the Guo Laozi at all. The main reason was because Gu Hao had mistakenly used Guo Laozi's Mirage Melting Stone.
Although Gu Hao did not make a mistake, it could even be said that he accepted the payment. But who knew that this seemingly amiable old man, after knowing that the man in front of him was using the fusion stone that he had accumulated for ten years, would actually make a move against Gu Hao?
Now that Gu Hao's injuries were so severe, naturally, he did not dare to take the risk. Seeing that the other party had not associated him with that matter, Gu Hao was naturally happy.
"Kid, can you put your heart in your stomach? What status does Guo Laozi have? Ever since the appearance of the Sun Moon Continent, the The Crimson Monarch Immortal Palace had been opened three times, and the Guo Laozi was the only one to have been in there consecutively three times! "
Just as Gu Hao finished speaking, Murong Lie who was behind Guo Laozi spoke out.
"In terms of understanding of the The Crimson Monarch Immortal Palace, the Guo Laozi is tens of thousands of times better than you, so why would I be afraid of you seizing the inheritance?"
"Oh? If that's the case, this inheritance of the Scarlet Monarch probably belongs to only the Guo Laozi. "
Gu Hao frowned, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands towards Guo Laozi and said.
However, Gu Hao thought differently. Although he was surprised that the Guo Laozi had actually entered the The Crimson Monarch Immortal Palace three times, but he had also entered the The Crimson Monarch Immortal Palace three times without obtaining any inheritances.
If the Vermillion Lord wanted to pass the inheritance to the Guo Laozi, he would have done so a long time ago.
However, Gu Hao only thought that, but did not dare say it out loud. Otherwise, it would just be slapping them in the face.
"Not at all." In order to obtain the inheritance of the Crimson Monarch, one had to obtain the approval of the Holy Lord, and the other had to work hard on their own. Compared to the number of times he had entered, it didn't matter at all. Otherwise, this old one would have received his legacy a long time ago. "
Guo Laozi waved his hand and answered humbly. However, there was still a hint of pride on his face.
"This old man knows his limits."
Gu Hao secretly thought in his heart, but he cupped his hands for the third time and asked the Guo Laozi: "Guo Laozi is too modest. "That's right, just now the Guo Laozi said that the inheritance of the Absolute Monarch Holy Lord was in the Monolith Forest. I wonder if that's true or false?"
"Of course it's true."
The Guo Laozi nodded, as though he was extremely satisfied with Gu Hao's respect, and replied as he looked at Gu Hao with praise.
"This old man is untalented. Although he entered the The Crimson Monarch Immortal Palace three times without being able to pass on his legacy, he still benefited from it. Not only did he enter the Venerable One's cultivation base, he also became the number one artificer in the entire continent."
"Oh? So Guo Laozi's refining methods were learned from this The Crimson Monarch Immortal Palace. "
Gu Hao realised and thought. It was no wonder that the Guo Laozi was able to become a high level artificer on the Scorching Sun Continent, where resources were scarce.
"That's why I have a good understanding of this place. And the inheritance of the Crimson Monarch is on the biggest monolith in the entire monolith forest. "
Guo Laozi paused for a moment and continued.
"Of course, don't look at how dilapidated this monolith forest is. No matter where you entered the forest of monoliths, if you wanted to reach the largest monolith, you would have to pass through the ten small monoliths. And among the ten small stone tablets, there was a portion of Holy Lord Chi's inheritance. The only way for you to get close to the biggest monolith is if you comprehend the legacies of the top ten monoliths. "
"So that's how it is!" "Gu Hao nodded, to express his understanding. "In that case, as long as you comprehend the teachings of the Crimson Monarch on the top ten monoliths, you will be able to obtain the complete legacy of the Crimson Monarch on the biggest monolith, right?"
"You could say so. "However, don't be happy too early."
Guo Laozi nodded and said to Gu Hao.
"Even if you have comprehended the legacies on the top 10 stone tablets, it doesn't mean that you have the complete Crimson Monarch's legacy on the biggest stone tablet."
"Oh? What do you mean? "
Gu Hao paused for a moment, and asked.
"Haha." Look at this old one, I can guess it. "
Guo Laozi laughed and explained.
"The third time this old man came here, he had comprehended the legacies on the top ten stone tablets, but unfortunately, he was still unable to obtain the complete legacy of the Ruby Sovereign. Do you know why?"
"I don't know. I hope Teacher can give me some pointers." Gu Hao shook his head and said.
"Because if you want to obtain the complete Crimson Monarch's inheritance from the stone monolith, you first need to comprehend the inheritance from the first ten monoliths. Next, you need to have a sharp weapon that can split apart the stone monolith."
Old Guo seemed to have already expected Gu Hao to say this, his face had a proud look as he spoke.
"You still need to split open that stone tablet before you can obtain the inheritance?" Gu Hao asked with a puzzled expression. Is that monolith very tough? "
"It's far more than hard. Last time when this old one entered, I used a high grade spiritual tool, but was unable to leave a single mark on the stone tablet, and in the end, it passed by the inheritance. "
Guo Laozi said with some regret.
"Perhaps it's because the Crimson Monarch himself is a high-level grandmaster refiner, so if I want to obtain his inheritance then I can at least refine a low-grade or even a high-grade immortal weapon."
"You need an immortal equipment to shake the stone tablet?"
Gu Hao froze, and at the same time that he opened his mouth to speak in shock, monstrous waves rose in his heart.
Before entering the Inheritance Hall, he had already been certain that the inheritance of the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary's Sacred Master was Gu Hao's. At that time, Gu Hao was still suspicious of this matter, but now it seems that Chi really was not lying to Gu Hao.
At the same time, Gu Hao also understood why Chi Fei wanted him to go to the Artifact Forging Hall and receive the test of divine will from the Scarlet Monarch.
So it turned out that in order to obtain the inheritance of the Ruby Sovereign, one would need at least one immortal artifact to break the heirloom stone.
Thinking about that, Gu Hao subconsciously touched his left shoulder. The Azure Sun Sword on his back was not a Immortal Equipment, but a Divine Equipment that was one level higher than Immortal Equipment!
"However, to little brother, this is also not important."
Seeing Gu Hao being silent, Guo Laozi thought that Gu Hao had opened his mouth to persuade him due to the disappointment.
"Outside the Inheritance Hall, this old one saw that the sharp sword that little brother used to fight the Emperor Wu was also extraordinary. "Why don't I borrow this old one's eye for a look and see what rank it is?"
Hearing that, Gu Hao's brows knitted, he did not expect that Guo Laozi would have their eyes set on the Azure Sun Sword, if he were to take action and rob it, he would not be able to protect himself.
"Guo Laozi has misunderstood. That treasured sword did not belong to me, but it belonged to the black clothed man who followed me here in search of treasures. The situation was critical then, so I had to borrow it to preserve my life. Now, it has been returned to you. "
Gu Hao thought about it and said to the Guo Laozi. He wanted to hide the Azure Sun Sword and avoid attracting the other party's attention.
But, just as Gu Hao finished speaking, Murong Lie who was behind him glared at him, took a step forward, pointed at Gu Hao and said angrily: "You little brat, you are full of lies. Isn't that sword of yours right behind you? This old man is not blind, why would I lie? "
"Hey, Brother Murong, don't speak nonsense. Since this little brother said he had already returned it, then he will return it. This old man only felt that it was rare and wanted to take a look. Since it's not here, then forget it. "
Guo Laozi suddenly waved his hand and said to Murong Lie.
"It's not too early yet. From this old man's perspective, we should enter the forest as soon as possible."
After saying that, the Guo Laozi gave Gu Hao an apologetic smile. After nodding his head slightly, he turned around and stepped into the forest of monoliths.
However, at this moment, an explosive shout came from the foot of the mountain, "Wait!"
