Stepping into the vortex of light, Yin Ming and his companion passed through a colorful spatial tunnel, and the scenery inside the monument finally unfolded before their eyes.
Contrary to Yin Ming's expectations of extreme luxury, the interior of this mausoleum was quite simple, with only a main burial chamber and two side chambers on the left and right.
Yin Ming thought for a moment and then understood. Of course, the Divine Realm wouldn't be so generous as to put all the items of a peak Ninth Realm cultivator into the stone tablet.
What remains here should only be the cultivator's cultivation legacy, some tools to aid cultivation, and at most some items that the tomb owner wanted to leave to future generations.
Lingyao said that he no longer needed the cultivation inheritance, so this windfall naturally fell on Yin Ming's head.
Yin Ming was overjoyed and practically jumped for joy. He'd gotten lucky! Thanks to the protagonist's halo!
However, Yin Ming was not in a hurry to accept the cultivation inheritance at this moment, because he wanted to know more about whether the tomb owner of Lingyao's mother had left Lingyao anything good.
Or perhaps, there are fragments of truth about the world that she discovered during her lifetime.
Therefore, Yin Ming went to the left side chamber first.
Yin Ming searched inside and out, but didn't find anything special; they were all rare and precious materials that could aid in cultivation.
The same applies to the other side chamber.
The only unusual thing was that Yin Ming found an ordinary ring among these things.
Yes, it was an ordinary ring that was neither a spatial ring, nor a Warcraft spatial ring, nor a soul ring, and had no spiritual energy whatsoever.
The ring itself is not strange, but it becomes very strange that such a ring is mixed in with a pile of rare and precious materials.
Although he didn't know what the ring was for, since it was a heirloom left by the tomb owner, Yin Ming couldn't be too picky about it.
After Ling Yao made it clear that he didn't want any of these things, Yin Ming waved his hand and put all the items stored in the side room into his spatial ring.
Including that ring.
Anyway, it doesn't take up much space.
"Ah Yao, shall we go in together?" Yin Ming stood in front of the main tomb chamber and turned to ask Ling Yao beside him.
In fact, he had always sensed that Lingyao's condition was not quite right.
Yin Ming thought it was probably because he had also guessed the identity of the tomb owner.
He has absolutely no idea how to deal with this woman who abandoned him at birth.
No matter how reasonable her reasons may be, once abandoned, it's abandoned.
It's perfectly understandable that Lingyao would resent or even hate her.
After all, the damage she caused is real and difficult to erase.
Parents are always a child's refuge. Imagine if they had their backing, where would the Grand Elder have gotten the audacity to send Lingyao to reincarnation nine times?
Having suffered so much for no reason, Lingyao didn't curse and accuse them of giving birth to her but not raising her or being irresponsible. He felt that his self-cultivation was already quite good.
Ling Yao simply shook her head at Yin Ming's tentative invitation and didn't say anything more.
Yin Ming saw that although he clearly did not want to approach the main tomb chamber, he still stood at the door like a gatekeeper. He was obviously worried that something might happen when Yin Ming received the inheritance, and he wanted to be close enough to react in time.
He really did cry his heart out!
Seeing how loving he was, Yin Ming announced that he would no longer hold a grudge about what happened last night.
With Lingyao guarding the door, Yin Ming did feel much more at ease. He composed himself, stepped into the main tomb chamber, bowed to the jade coffin placed in the center of the room, and then walked forward.
Yin Ming originally thought he would see a peerless woman with celestial beauty. After all, according to the usual tropes of cultivation novels, the corpses of powerful figures never decay, and they can maintain their appearance even after a thousand years.
Suddenly it dawned on me—oh wait, he seems to have switched frequencies.
Only powerful figures in supernatural stories have incorruptible bodies who can suddenly rise from the dead.
I misremembered.
Getting back to the main point, inside the coffin was a golden skeleton. The robes worn by the sect leader of the Divine Realm made Yin Ming even more certain of its identity.
Yin Ming was still confused about what to do next, but then he suddenly remembered the half of the golden skeleton that Ling Yao had left him. He immediately understood and skillfully focused his mind, sinking his consciousness into the skeleton in front of him.
A gentle female voice suddenly rang out in the Divine Court's sea of consciousness, each word clear and distinct.
"It is a pleasure to have met you, successor. I am Chu Ya, the 353rd sect master of the Divine Realm. From now on, I will impart to you all the knowledge and understanding I have gained throughout my life..."
Just as I expected.
Although Yin Ming did not know Ling Yao's mother's name, the current sect leader, Chu Li, was the 354th sect leader, while Chu Ya was the 353rd. Clearly, she was the previous sect leader and Ling Yao's mother.
But Yin Ming had no time to sigh about anything; he was trying his best to memorize the insights into the realm spoken by the female voice in his mind.
Actually, Yin Ming didn't want it to be like this either, but those words were just too obscure and difficult to understand.
I recognize the characters when they are separated, but I still don't understand why they are put together.
Yin Ming knew that this was because his comprehension was not yet sufficient, which was also why he had not gained the approval of the remnant soul when he touched the stone tablet earlier.
Since things had come to this, Yin Ming could only write it down for now and slowly ponder its underlying meaning later.
"If one day you can fully understand what I just said, I believe you will be able to inherit my will and benefit the people."
The gentle female voice paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, I have another request. Among the items I left behind is a ring, and I hope the inheritor can help me deliver it to Lingyao of the Demon Sect."
"I know that the gods and demons have always been at odds, and the successor will face many dangers on this journey. But I only have this one wish left, and I hope that the successor can grant my wish."
"Consider this... the exchange condition for accepting my inheritance. Please, inheritor, do not divulge this matter. Chu Ya is deeply grateful."
A faint sound of clothes rubbing together rang out in Yin Ming's mind, as if someone was bowing solemnly to him.
Yin Ming's feelings were complicated. Sure enough, what parent doesn't love their child?
In fact, Yin Ming was not surprised by the current situation.
It's clear from the fact that Lingyao's parents begged the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect to save his life before they left, and also asked Yin Sha to take good care of him afterwards, that they cared about him.
Parents who worry so much about their children for over a century have never returned to search for them. There's only one reason for that—
They're not coming back.
