Lin Tian swept his gaze over and discovered that inside the wooden box, apart from a piece of paper, there was nothing else.
“This is the Saint’s inheritance?”
Lin Tian frowned and said, “Why would a Saint-level powerhouse leave behind just this one sentence?”
“The first thing every morning when you get up, give yourself a pep talk.”
“I understand.”
Lin Tian had a sudden realisation and said, “The Saint-level powerhouse is telling future generations that the plan for a day starts in the morning. Every day upon rising, one must build confidence and firm the Dao heart. Only in this way is it possible to become a peerless powerhouse.”
“Worthily a Saint-level powerhouse. Simple and straightforward words, yet they strike straight to the heart.”
Lin Tian put the piece of paper into his pocket.
Just at that moment, people from the three holy lands and the Mending Heaven Sect entered. They saw the three characters “Inheritance One” and also spotted the wooden box on the ground.
“The Saint’s inheritance is ahead. Charge!”
This group of people were like they had been injected with chicken blood and rushed over swiftly.
Lin Tian shot forward like lightning. He had already obtained the inheritance and did not want to tangle with this group.
The disciples from the three holy lands and the Mending Heaven Sect arrived before the wooden box and discovered it was empty inside. They immediately cried out.
“The inheritance has been taken by Lin Tian.”
“Quick, catch up to Lin Tian.”
“Seize the Saint’s inheritance!”
These people went mad and quickly pursued Lin Tian.
Lin Tian soon emerged from the cave and saw a peach grove.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom, emitting a rich fragrance. It was like a paradise outside the world.
“Worthily the Saint’s tomb. The scenery is truly superb.”
Lin Tian did not hesitate. His body leaped out and he plunged into the peach grove.
Not long after, inside the peach grove, he saw a smooth stone. On the stone were carved three glowing large characters.
“Inheritance Two!”
Similarly, below the three characters was placed a wooden box.
“I wonder what treasure is inside this wooden box?”
Lin Tian was somewhat excited. He stepped forward, picked up the wooden box, and quickly opened it. He discovered another piece of paper inside, with two sentences written on it.
“Every time you eat one more grain of rice, you must say sorry.”
What did this mean?
Lin Tian was utterly baffled. He thought to himself, I have never said sorry even when eating spirit beasts. Why must a Saint-level powerhouse say sorry for eating one more grain of rice?
A moment later.
“I have comprehended it!”
Lin Tian said, “The meaning of the Saint-level powerhouse is that one must have a heart of gratitude towards nature and a heart of reverence.”
“By the same token, on the path of cultivation, which defies the heavens, cultivators should harbour gratitude towards all things in the world and revere the Heavenly Dao.”
“Only in this way can one grow stronger step by step and ultimately become a peerless powerhouse.”
When Lin Tian thought of this, he only felt his thoughts clearing. In his heart, he admired the owner of this tomb immensely.
“Simple and plain two sentences, yet they reveal endless philosophy. As expected, a Saint-level powerhouse is extraordinary.”
“Since this is Inheritance Two, there must be Inheritance Three and Inheritance Four.”
Lin Tian put the piece of paper into his pocket again. Then, as if he had thought of something, he took out the two pieces of paper from his pocket and examined them back and forth.
“These two pieces of paper are extremely ordinary. Stored in this tomb for so long, not only have they not been damaged, but the writing is as fresh as new. The methods of a Saint-level powerhouse are truly profound and unfathomable.”
“I will bring these two pieces of paper back to show Master later. Perhaps Master can comprehend the Saintly Dao from them.”
Lin Tian put the two pieces of paper back into his pocket and prepared to continue searching for the inheritance.
Just then, shouts came from behind.
“Lin Tian is ahead. Do not let him escape!”
Lin Tian turned back and saw that the people from the three holy lands and the Mending Heaven Sect had caught up.
“You lot wait for me. Once I find all of the Saint-level powerhouse’s inheritance, I will slaughter you one by one.”
Lin Tian thought darkly and rushed forward swiftly. However, soon he retreated back to the original spot.
A giant python crawled out from the peach grove.
The python had a large triangular head. Below its neck was a circle of red floral patterns. Its two eyes were like copper bells, devoid of any emotion, staring coldly at Lin Tian.
“Nine Nether Earth Nether Python!”
Lin Tian recognised the origin of this python at a glance. He also noticed that there was a wound on the head of the Nine Nether Earth Nether Python, which was bleeding outside.
A Nine Nether Earth Nether Python comparable to the early Cavern Heaven realm was not enough to make Lin Tian take it seriously. His gaze shifted to the side.
“Swish swish swish—”
A rustling sound came from the peach grove. Following that, the peach trees shook one after another, with petals falling.
A few seconds later, an even larger Nine Nether Earth Nether Python drilled out from the peach grove.
This Nine Nether Earth Nether Python was fully dozens of metres long. Its triangular head was like a small hillock. Its body emitted a bloodthirsty aura, far stronger than the injured Nine Nether Earth Nether Python.
“A ferocious beast at the peak of the Cavern Heaven realm!”
Lin Tian’s expression changed slightly. He had precisely sensed the danger earlier, which was why he retreated.
At this moment, the people from the three holy lands and the Mending Heaven Sect caught up.
“Lin Tian, hand over the Saint’s inheritance quickly.” A disciple from the Mending Heaven Sect shouted.
He was An Ruochen, the Holy Son of the Mending Heaven Sect.
The people from the three holy lands also spoke one after another.
“Lin Tian, obediently hand over the Saint’s inheritance. Do not force me to become your enemy.” Huangfu Qi from the Primeval Holy Land said.
The Holy Maiden Lin Qianqian from the Chaos Holy Land said, “Brother Lin, one must know contentment in life. You have already obtained two Saint’s inheritances. Give one to me. This request is not excessive, is it?”
Lin Tian glanced at Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian had a tall figure and was very beautiful. Although she was a hundred thousand and eight miles inferior to Yunxi of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, she was still a rare beauty. If it were under normal circumstances, Lin Tian would still flirt with her a bit. But now, this woman was his enemy.
Lin Tian looked at Lin Qianqian indifferently and cursed inwardly, Bitch. Just you, trying to get an inheritance from my hands? In your dreams!
At this time, a youth stepped forward from the Desolate Ancient Holy Land.
His hair was dishevelled and draped over his shoulders. He was shirtless on top, revealing bronze-coloured skin. His developed muscles were full of wildness.
This person was the Holy Son of the Desolate Ancient Holy Land, Tuoba Ye!
Tuoba Ye looked at Lin Tian and said arrogantly, “Hand over the inheritance, otherwise, I will send you to the Western Paradise.”
Concise and to the point.
Lin Tian swept his gaze over the crowd and sneered, “What do you mean? You want to target me?”
“Just you lot, do you even qualify to bark in front of me?”
“Believe it or not, I will slaughter all of you!”
Lin Tian was utterly fearless and did not take these people seriously at all. In his heart, among those who entered the tomb this time, only Yunxi from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect was worthy to be his opponent.
As for the people before him now, they were all trash.
“Arrogant! Lin Tian, you are truly too arrogant. This is seeking your own death.” Lin Qianqian was so angry her face flushed red.
Huangfu Qi said coldly, “Slaughter all of us? What big words! I want to see if you have the ability.”
With that, he was about to make a move.
However, he was preempted by Tuoba Ye.
“You want to die? I will fulfil you.”
Tuoba Ye let out a great roar. His fist was like golden flames, carrying overwhelming power as it blasted out.
