Chapter 930: Chapter 164: Equally Matched, The Secret of the Heritage Mansion! (Part 2)

"Divinity Transformation!" Zhou Xun succinctly exclaimed, and waves of great shock surged in his heart!

Back in the South Sea, he accidentally obtained True Monarch Celestial Star’s cave mansion and mastered its entrance,

and it was clear that the cave mansion belonged to an even more ancient powerful cultivator.

The heritage mansion that True Monarch Hundred Bones mentioned had a situation similar to Celestial Star Cave Mansion, half relying on the Human Realm but was actually an independent small space.

To achieve such a feat, one’s strength must be at least above Divinity Transformation.

"It seems Daoist Zhou knows quite a bit of secrets; indeed, there exists a heritage mansion of a Divinity Transformation cultivator here!"

"Now Daoist Zhou should understand why we at White Bone Mountain are striving for the position of the Jiangling Prefecture Lord!"

"It’s a pity that we encountered someone as talented as Daoist Zhou, who, at Early-Stage Nascent Soul, surprisingly defeated the combined forces of Wu Feng and the Profound Bone Flying Corpse,"

"and even seized my Profound Bone!"

At this point, Master White Bone glanced hatefully at Bai Yu, making the latter feel as if he’d fallen into an icy abyss, unable to speak.

Suddenly, Master Hundred Bones raised his head, staring at Zhou Xun with a fixed gaze, and changed the topic:

"Daoist Zhou, do you know how many years it’s been since a new Divinity Transformation emerged in our trembling Human Realm?"

"Please enlighten me, Daoist Bai!" Zhou Xun was unaware of such supreme secrets of the Human Realm.

"Three thousand years... a full three thousand years!" At this moment, Master Hundred Bones seemed as if he’d fallen into madness,

"Only one person over three thousand years!"

"Do you know how many cultivators have been awarded the title of ’Top Ten Cultivators’ in our Great Jin during these three thousand years?"

"Over one hundred and thirty individuals!"

"And that’s just within our Great Jin Continent, while in the entire Human Realm, there are as many as thirteen such continents!"

"Including the Demon Race, numbering over a thousand, yet only one could advance to Divinity Transformation!"

"Thus, you should know the difficulty of Divinity Transformation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the great hall fell silent!

They all understood that this was merely counting those at the level of Top Ten Cultivators. If we included Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators,

the number would increase twentyfold more.

No matter your inherent talent, unrivaled Spirit Body, before this heavenly threshold to Divinity Transformation, you could only turn into a handful of dust!

Even Zhou Xun, possessing the Spring Condensation Scripture of unparalleled quality, didn’t have the confidence to break through to Divinity Transformation at this moment.

The difficulty of the Dao is harder than ascending the heavens!

Of course, this also relates to the fact that the methods for breaking through to Divinity Transformation are only in the hands of a few top forces. The ordinary Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators have no opportunity for Divinity Transformation.

Master Hundred Bones slightly calmed down his emotions and continued, "Therefore, Daoist Zhou, this heritage mansion of the Divinity Transformation cultivator represents our sole hope to break through to Divinity Transformation."

His eyes flickered with desire and fervor, "I have schemed for many years for this and naturally wouldn’t forsake it easily."

"Why don’t we join forces to explore this heritage mansion together,"

"If the method to break through to Divinity Transformation exists inside, we’ll duplicate a copy jointly!"

"If there are treasures or opportunities to break through to Divinity Transformation, so much the better if there are two; we’ll split them equally. But if there’s only one..." Master Hundred Bones’s face turned fierce as he spoke.

"We’ll rely on our capabilities!" Zhou Xun said indifferently,

He naturally wouldn’t pass up such opportunities.

"Good, before entering the heritage mansion, we’ll work together sincerely until the heritage mansion is opened!"

"Where is the heritage mansion? Can you take me for a look?" Zhou Xun asked,

"Since we decided to cooperate, of course there’s no problem. My son is in charge of this matter and will take you there,"

"I still need to bring Junior Sister Red Refinement to find a suitable corpse, so I won’t stay longer, farewell!" With that, he transformed into a streak of white light, disappearing from the great hall.

Regarding Master White Bone’s ability to arrive so quickly, Zhou Xun had already deduced that it was likely due to a teleportation array set up between White Bone Mountain and Jiangling Prefecture; otherwise, it would be impossible to arrive so swiftly.

"Daoist Zhou... Daoist Zhou, my father has instructed me, so please follow me!" Bai Yu said awkwardly, slowly opening his mouth.

"Haha, if I’ve offended you before, Daoist Bai, don’t hold it in your heart!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily, patting Bai Yu on the shoulder.

"No problem, no problem; shall we go, Daoist Zhou?" Bai Yu asked tentatively,

"Then I’ll rely on you!"

...

Bai Yu led Zhou Xun along a seldom-trodden path behind the Jiangling Prefecture main hall.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a valley where several corridors were built,

"Daoist Zhou, follow me." Bai Yu occasionally reminded with a voice tinged with unease.

Previously, he had been in opposition to Zhou Xun, and now having to cooperate like this, he naturally felt uneasy.

"No problem." Zhou Xun responded, his gaze wandering around, not missing any detail.

Entering the corridor, taking a few twists, they arrived at a seemingly ordinary room.

Inside the room were some old bookshelves, stacked with yellowing ancient texts. Bai Yu walked straight to a corner of the room, gently pressing a hidden protrusion behind the bookshelf.

With a "boom," the wall slowly slid to one side, revealing a deep passage. The passage was filled with an old atmosphere, mixed with faint spiritual power fluctuations.

He didn’t expect the greatest secret to be hidden behind such a simple mechanism, but Zhou Xun had already discovered that these walls were made of materials that blocked Divine Sense, along with those restrictions,

unless they dismantle these buildings, it would be impossible to discover the passage.

"Daoist Zhou, the entrance to the heritage mansion is at the end of this passage." Bai Yu said.

Zhou Xun nodded and stepped into the passage first.

Inside the passage, the light was dim, with occasional glowing stones on the walls barely illuminating the path.

After advancing for a while, the passage began to descend, and the group walked forward for ten thousand feet before the area suddenly opened up.

What appeared before Zhou Xun and Bai Yu was a vast stone chamber space, nearly a hundred feet in size,

The walls were carved with strange patterns all around,

"This is the entrance to the heritage mansion." Bai Yu said.

Zhou Xun stepped forward, examining it carefully.

He discovered that these patterns seemed to depict an ancient story about the life and cultivation experience of a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.

On the north wall, there was an engraving of a doorway with faint Spirit Light emanating from it. With Zhou Xun’s current array mastery,

he could naturally discern that it’s at least at Tier Four Top-Grade level.

Within the stone chamber, a middle-aged man was studying something, and upon seeing Zhou Xun and others enter, he was momentarily stunned.

"Junior Martial Uncle Wu, this is Jiangling Prefecture Lord Zhou Xun. The Grand Elder has already discussed with him to jointly explore this heritage mansion!"

Bai Yu greeted the middle-aged man with a gesture of respect.

He then introduced the middle-aged man,

"Daoist Zhou, this is my Junior Martial Uncle Wu, a Tier Four Middle-Grade Array Master. He was the one who discovered the heritage mansion back then and is now responsible for cracking the restrictions!"

Junior Martial Uncle Wu heard this, slightly frowned, and scrutinized Zhou Xun with eyes filled with suspicion and caution.

"So this is Pavilion Master Zhou, I’ve long heard of your extraordinary strength. Now you even manage to convince the senior to agree, it seems the rumors are true?"

Zhou Xun smiled lightly:

"Daoist Wu, you flatter me. Since I’ve agreed to cooperate with Master Hundred Bones, I will devote myself entirely. Speaking of which, I am also a Tier Four Low-Grade Array Master. If I can be of assistance, feel free to ask!"

Though he said this, Zhou Xun had no intention of disturbing the middle-aged man in breaking the formation. He could tell,

from the outside passage to this stone chamber, there were countless restrictions in between, all likely cracked by this Daoist Wu.

Given his experience and skill, and the restrictions already largely cracked, what’s next can be left to him,

as for Zhou Xun, staying in the Prefecture Government Office and concentrating on cultivation would suffice.

"There’s nothing needing assistance; Pavilion Master Zhou may do as he pleases!" Wu, the middle-aged man, said faintly.

"My Junior Martial Uncle seldom interacts with others, so please don’t take it to heart, Daoist Zhou!" Bai Yu hurriedly explained. At this time, he felt a hint of fear towards Daoist Zhou,

someone who could match strength with his father.

"No problem, we should leave then!"

Then Zhou Xun left, and like True Monarch Tianci and others, chose his own cave mansion, beginning the peaceful and long-term cultivation life!
