Chen Tianwen looked at Bai Ze with a puzzled expression, wondering what Bai Ze was referring to.

Bai Ze seemed somewhat excited, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke to Chen Tianwen:

"Right now, I can only think of one possibility. The patriarchs of the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan fell into a coma after entering the Xuanwu Secret Realm. And their clansmen don't seem to be that nervous!"

Bai Ze paused, which piqued Chen Tianwen's curiosity.

Chen Tianwen already knew all this information. That's why he found it unreasonable and came to consult Bai Ze.

But Bai Ze seemed to be deliberately teasing Chen Tianwen, asking him:

"Brother Chen, what do you think are their reasons for doing this?"

Chen Tianwen rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"Brother Bai, if I knew the reason, I wouldn't be asking you for advice!"

Bai Ze also sensed the resentment in Chen Tianwen's tone, but he didn't take it to heart and continued speaking:

“I’ve thought of one possibility, and that is…”

Seeing that Bai Ze was about to take another deep breath, Chen Tianwen spoke up:

"Brother Bai, you're driving me crazy! Just tell me straight, I really have no clue what to do."

Bai Ze smiled and then explained:

"The two patriarchs of the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan must have already found the inheritance of the Xuanwu Divine Beast! However, their aptitude probably did not meet the Xuanwu Divine Beast's standards. Therefore, the Xuanwu Divine Beast sealed the two inheritances within the bodies of the two patriarchs!"

"The Xuan Turtle and the Nether Serpent clans must know the reason, which is why they are not in such a hurry. After all, as long as a suitable successor is found, not only can the two clan leaders be awakened, but it is not impossible to reproduce the power of the ancient divine beast Xuanwu!"

Bai Ze finished speaking in one breath, still appearing very agitated, while Chen Tianwen was completely confused and asked:

"Brother Bai, then why did Xuanwu leave the inheritance within the bodies of the two clan leaders instead of keeping it in the secret realm to await a suitable successor?"

Bai Ze shook his head and said to Chen Tianwen:

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but I suspect there are two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that Xuanwu's remnant soul is about to be exhausted and there is no time to wait for a suitable candidate, so he sealed the inheritance in the bodies of the two clan leaders."

"The second possibility is that the Xuanwu Divine Beast must have sensed some kind of danger, a danger powerful enough to destroy the secret realm, which is why the Xuanwu Divine Beast did this!"

"However, I tend to favor the first possibility!"

Chen Tianwen nodded. If it was really as Bai Ze predicted, the first possibility was indeed more likely.

After all, the ancient divine beast Xuanwu lived countless years ago, so it's only natural that its remnant soul would disappear.

Moreover, there have been no rumors of the secret realm being destroyed, which almost eliminates the second possibility!

However, Chen Tianwen was still somewhat puzzled and asked Bai Ze:

"But Brother Bai, while your analysis makes a lot of sense, it's all based on the premise that the Xuanwu Divine Beast sealed the inheritance within the two clan leaders. However, Brother Bai, why are you so certain that the two clan leaders' coma is because the inheritance was sealed within their bodies?"

Bai Ze looked at Chen Tianwen with an incredulous expression and asked:

"Brother Chen, don't you know about the Xuanwu Divine Beast's technique of feigning death? The situation of the two clan leaders is remarkably similar to this technique."

Chen Tianwen shook his head, his eyes blank. He had rarely even heard of the legends about the ancient divine beasts, let alone their methods.

Bai Ze sighed, looking at Chen Tianwen with a hint of disappointment:

"Brother Chen, these things all exist in the Qilin's memories. If you have time, you should read more of the Qilin clan's inherited memories; it will greatly help broaden your knowledge!"

Chen Tianwen blushed slightly upon hearing Bai Ze's words. In his memories of the Qilin clan, Chen Tianwen only focused on practical things like cultivation techniques, pill formulas, and weapon crafting. He had hardly ever looked into anything like strange tales or unusual events.

Bai Ze continued speaking to Chen Tianwen:

"The appearance of the Xuanwu divine beast's exclusive immortal technique must mean that the two clan leaders have seen the Xuanwu divine beast! And the most likely explanation for this immortal technique is that it appears in the Xuanwu's heritage!"

Chen Tianwen nodded. If that's the case, then what Bai Ze said makes perfect sense.

Chen Tianwen agreed with Bai Ze's analysis, but he still didn't quite understand what Bai Ze meant by "opportunity".

So Chen Tianwen continued to ask:

"Brother Bai, what are you referring to as an opportunity for us?"

Bai Ze sighed, paced back and forth for a while, and then spoke again:

"The opportunity I'm referring to, specifically, is Xuan Yanyan's opportunity!"

Chen Tianwen suddenly realized and said to Bai Ze:

"Brother Bai, are you referring to having Yan Yan obtain the inheritance within the bodies of the two clan leaders?"

Bai Ze nodded, but then shook his head and continued:

"Yan Yan does indeed have a chance to inherit the Xuanwu Divine Beast's legacy! Although Yan Yan currently lacks bloodline and even her body is from the Xuanwu clan, she has retained the Xuanwu clan's innate supernatural abilities. This is what makes Yan Yan special!"

Bai Ze knew that Chen Tianwen didn't understand these things, so he quickly finished speaking:

"To put it simply, Yan Yan is like an empty container, but this container is exclusive to the Xuan Turtle Clan. Therefore, Yan Yan has a greater chance to absorb the inheritance of the Nether Serpent Clan, which belongs to the same source! After obtaining the Nether Serpent inheritance, Yan Yan can turn around and use the Nether Serpent Clan's inheritance to absorb the inheritance from the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief!"

Chen Tianwen was confused by Bai Ze's tongue-twisting explanation, but he roughly understood what Bai Ze meant. In short, Xuan Yanyan was the most suitable candidate to inherit the legacy!

However, Chen Tianwen then thought of something and asked Bai Ze:

"Brother Bai, Yan Yan has no bloodline now. Can she gain the recognition of both clans? I think the Xuan Turtle and Ming Snake clans will not allow someone who is not recognized to obtain the inheritance of the Xuanwu Divine Beast!"

Bai Ze nodded, then took a deep breath and said:

"Brother Chen, rest assured, I will negotiate with the Nether Serpent Clan. If Yan Yan successfully absorbs the inheritance from the Nether Serpent Clan Chief, then the rest will be much easier!"

Chen Tianwen was overjoyed. With Bai Ze stepping forward, it was naturally much better than if he did it himself.

Chen Tianwen then summoned Xuan Yanyan and instructed her to take good care of her body these two days so that she could absorb the inheritance within the Nether Serpent Clan Chief in the best possible condition!
