Qin Xu never expected that he would be tricked by an old man.
He thought it would only take three or four days at most.
I never imagined that a year would have passed.
If the mother outside discovers that the fetus has lost its soul, she might think that the fetus has perished.
"I finally activated the system a hundred years ahead of schedule, but I still can't turn the tables?"
After calming down, Qin Xu felt like crying but couldn't.
I have no hope for my future.
Only a soul remains; it will likely be gone soon.
After all, he was only a Golden Core cultivator.
If one is at the Nascent Soul stage, without a physical body, one can survive solely with their primordial spirit and then seek opportunities to possess another's body.
Now, he doesn't even have the chance to possess another body.
"Hahaha!"
"Little one, you've misunderstood."
"You have spent a year here, but only an hour has passed outside."
The white-haired old man let out a hearty laugh.
He never expected that a casual remark he made would cause the little guy in front of him to break down.
ah?
Qin Xu was stunned. He stared at the white-haired old man in front of him, feeling his emotions surging.
“I’m not lying to you, this is the space inside the Holy Monument.”
"One hour has passed outside, but one year has passed here."
"However, maintaining this flow of time requires an immeasurable amount of energy."
The white-haired old man revealed a kind smile and said without any hesitation, "In the past year, we have consumed thirty percent of the Holy Stele's power."
The power contained within the sacred stele is the accumulated power of countless Confucian scholars.
Every Confucian cultivator who uses the Sacred Stele to test their talent will leave a portion of their power within the stele.
Tens of thousands of years of accumulation have just been consumed by 30%.
"Thank goodness."
Qin Xu let out a long sigh of relief. If a year had passed in the outside world as well, he thought he would definitely be fighting the white-haired old man to the death.
"Little guy."
"You are better than me, and you have more talent than me."
"Even when I was young, it was impossible for me to comprehend the profound truths of the Great Dao on the sacred stele in just one year."
The white-haired old man was generous with his praise.
In his view, Qin Xu was a peerless genius, one in a million, and an extremely suitable genius to embark on the path of Confucian cultivation.
"Stop flattering me. If there's nothing else, let me go back."
Although only an hour has passed in the outside world.
However, Qin Xu was worried that something unexpected might happen.
If the mother were to experience the loss of the fetus's soul, she might fight Qi Jianchun to the death.
"No need to rush."
"You are the only person in tens of thousands of years who has passed my test."
"This is a wisp of my primordial power that I have stored up for a long time. Take good care of it."
"At the same time, my legacy belongs to you."
The white-haired old man gently pointed a finger, and a beam of light instantly entered Qin Xu's brow.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a wisp of the Great Emperor Haoran's original power!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Confucian and Taoist inheritance of the Great Emperor Haoran!]
A pleasant sound rang out.
Qin Xu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that playing chess with the white-haired old man would actually yield some results.
He knew that the system was giving him hints.
This proves that what the old man gave was incredibly precious.
“Little one, my primordial power contains a fragment of the Great Dao.”
"When you embark on the path of Confucian cultivation and encounter a bottleneck, you can use it to break through it."
"As for my inheritance, it consists of some cultivation techniques and the like."
"If you don't want to cultivate, you can seek other inheritances."
The white-haired old man patiently explained that if the inheritance of a Confucian emperor were to be given out, it would inevitably cause countless Confucian sages to fight over it.
Even the Confucian immortal kings would yearn to receive his inheritance.
"Of course, there won't be any problems if you practice my techniques in the early stages."
"But I hope you remember this: if you simply follow my path, you will never reach my level."
At the end of every major road, there can only be one person.
The white-haired old man could tell that Qin Xu's talent was extraordinary.
If Qin Xu can live on, he will surely become an emperor.
However, the path taken by each emperor was different.
"Oh? Don't worry, I have a better technique."
Qin Xu glanced at the white-haired old man's technique and, after a brief comparison, discovered that the so-called Great Emperor's technique was actually slightly inferior to the Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique.
Although the difference isn't huge, it's definitely not as good as the Taihuang Devouring Heaven Technique.
However, his words had barely faded when...
The white-haired old man was completely stunned.
He thought to himself, "This little guy, is he joking?"
His own cultivation technique ranks among the top ten in the Great Wilderness Spirit Realm.
However, the little guy said he had a better technique.
"I'm not lying to you."
"The cultivation method I practice is better than yours."
"It's a pity I'm in soul form right now, otherwise I would have shown you something amazing."
Qin Xu said sincerely and without any politeness, "I have no reason to lie to you. I will come back to you after I am born and let you see my cultivation technique."
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man was half-convinced.
Looking at Qin Xu's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
Could it be that this little guy really possesses a better cultivation technique?
"No problem, I'll wait for you to come."
“As long as you come to the Holy Monument, I will be able to sense it, and then we will be able to meet again.”
The white-haired old man did not dwell on it any longer.
However, he thought about how he had waited so long for a genius who met his requirements.
Perhaps that one thing can be entrusted to this little guy to do.
"Little one, I have a favor to ask."
The white-haired old man couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if you could help me?"
Need help?
Qin Xu didn't agree immediately, after all, what if it was a trap? That would be a huge problem.
"Tell me what it is first."
"If I'm not in any danger, I'll get it done for you."
Although the white-haired old man gave Qin Xu a very good impression.
However, Qin Xu wouldn't readily agree to other people's requests.
After all, once you've agreed, you have to do it no matter what.
"I have left something in the forbidden area of the Northern Abyss."
"If one day you become strong enough, I hope you will go to the Northern Abyss Forbidden Land and help me retrieve it."
The white-haired old man pointed his finger again, and a golden light entered Qin Xu's brow. He then continued, "When you go to the Northern Abyss Forbidden Land, the mark I left in your soul will be sensed."
"Of course, the choice is yours whether to agree or not."
"If you refuse, I will take back the mark."
Is it the forbidden area of Beiyuan?
Qin Xu was taken aback. In fact, he knew very little about the Great Wilderness Spirit Realm, so he didn't know what the Northern Abyss Forbidden Land was like.
However, the name "Beiyuan" likely indicates that this forbidden area is located in the Northern Region.
The Northern Region is the territory of the Demon Clan, and it is fraught with danger at every turn.
