I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Rewind to a few days earlier, when Toyokawa received two animal skin scrolls from the eldest princess.

In a sacred place far away in the Central Plains, within the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

A powerful demon of the time suddenly became uneasy.

He focused his mind and sensed for a moment, finding nothing unusual within the sect. He then examined himself and found nothing unusual either, nor had any inner demons arisen.

This is very strange; why would someone suddenly become so restless?

Then he summoned a disciple.

"Master, are you looking for your disciple?" a red-haired woman asked.

"Hmm, I suddenly feel uneasy. I have investigated several times, but to no avail!"

Take my token and go see the Holy Lord.

I have asked him to entrust Tianxin Pavilion to calculate the secrets of heaven for me.

Afterwards, I will certainly present you with a fine gift!

The Black Fiend Demon Lord spoke to his little disciple, the Red-Haired Passion Demon, Wei Wuqing.

"Yes, Master, I will take care of it right away!"

After saying this, the red-haired woman left the cave and headed straight for the Holy Lord's main hall.

The red-haired woman was very efficient; the matter was completed in less than half an hour.

Upon learning the details, the Holy Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave dared not delay. He immediately mobilized the Communications Division to seek help from the Heavenly Heart Pavilion.

Tianxin Pavilion might dare to be a bit more aloof elsewhere.

But the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is a genuine demonic sect, and they dared not be negligent in the slightest.

After all, the other party is a holy land, while they are at most a super sect.

When the strength of the two sides is not equal, it is best not to offend the other party easily.

Therefore, after learning about this, the head of Tianxin Pavilion immediately began to mobilize people.

Soon after, he sought out several elders to help him divine the secrets of heaven and see what this important matter was.

As a result, the elders in charge of this matter acted like tigers, but the result was a complete mess.

We didn't figure anything out!

This greatly worried the head of Tianxin Pavilion.

Other sects generally don't ask them for help without a reason. If they do, it's because they need something.

But right now, they haven't even figured out a single thing. Isn't that obviously making the other party think they're fooling them?

Not only would it be difficult to explain, but it could also damage the company's reputation.

Therefore, the Pavilion Master of Tianxin Pavilion had no choice but to send a message to the Holy Lord of Wanmo Cave. He said that they had made some progress, but it would take a few more days to calculate the detailed results.

The Holy Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave had no doubts and readily accepted the other party's explanation.

Only then did the Pavilion Master of Tianxin Pavilion breathe a sigh of relief.

He then instructed the elders to perform the calculations several more times in the coming days.

On the other side, at the entrance of the Icefield Canyon.

After Fengchuan and the ancestor reached an agreement, he led the ancestor into the Grand Canyon.

For the first part of the journey, the route to Toyokawa and the markings on the map basically overlapped.

So Toyokawa simply followed his instincts and passed through safely without any trouble.

However, once they reached the middle stage, Toyokawa began to be extremely cautious.

Because the routes here, the lines marked on the map, and the results of my own observation have begun to differ.

Upon arriving at an entrance/exit point, Toyokawa no longer dared to be blindly confident.

True to his cautious nature, he still believed that it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Then, he took out a fresh, cheap spirit fish from his storage bag and threw it out without hesitation.

Although it is an inanimate object, a natural array should not have much intelligence.

Sure enough, while the spirit fish was still on the route indicated by the map, a barely perceptible breeze blew by.

The spirit fish instantly turned into a large lump of ice.

Holy crap, thank goodness I had to test it out, and thank goodness it was him who came.

Otherwise, if someone else had come, there would likely be another lost soul and another ice block in the canyon. And this ruin might have been lost forever.

Just to be on the safe side, he took out another spirit fish and threw it onto the path he was observing.

The spirit fish landed safely, and after waiting for a while, nothing changed.

This made Toyokawa even more convinced that the path he was following was correct.

He then stopped hesitating and slowly walked along the path he had been observing.

As he passed by the spirit fish, he didn't forget to pick it up and put it back into his storage bag.

Even though it was a dead fish, it still made a contribution to him.

He secretly resolved that he would take good care of it once he got out.

So he decided not to make grilled fish, but to make braised fish instead!

Fish: What the hell? So no matter what, you're going to eat me?

Accompanied by the Cloud-Walking Ancestor, they walked slowly along the way.

Toyokawa kept his eyes open the whole time, checking things as he walked.

After nearly two hours, they finally emerged from the most dangerous part of the Grand Canyon.

The next part of the journey was much easier. After walking for another half an hour, the two finally arrived at a gate.

This gate is heavy and imposing. It consists of two stone doors, each over ten feet high.

At this moment, Toyokawa looked at the stone gate, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

Because both doors have inscriptions on them.

The inscription on the left reads: "Inherited from me";

The inscription on the right reads: "I bear the consequences of my actions."

At this moment, the venerable Xingyun, who had been silently following behind Fengchuan, spoke up.

"Young Feng, are you sure you want to go in and obtain the inheritance?"

Confused, Fengchuan turned around and asked, "Ancestor, is something wrong?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it; this is simply a place of inheritance!” Ancestor Xingyun replied.

"Did the ancestor have something to say when he reminded his disciple?" Feng Chuan asked in confusion.

"Haha, don't rush, let me finish what I have to say."

Did you see the words on the door? This method of inheritance has been passed down since ancient times.

When you see these two doors, I can tell you definitively that there is no danger inside.

Just because there is no danger doesn't mean that the inheritance is so easy to obtain!

The key to everything lies in those eight big characters!

This is a form of contractual inheritance.

When a successor establishes a lineage, they take the lineage as their guarantee and the Way of Heaven as their oath.

Those who receive this transmission are those who have taken the oath.

As the one who takes the oath, one must fulfill the contractual entrustment left by the successor.

Otherwise, they will surely be investigated by the Heavenly Dao and punished by Heaven.

Even if one does not die or lose one's spiritual path, one's spiritual path will be severed, and one will hardly make any progress in one's lifetime.

"Do you understand now?" Ancestor Xingyun asked after explaining.

"Ancestor, what will be the consequences of receiving the inheritance and bearing the karma?" Fengchuan asked.

"It's hard to say. Some inheritors have very simple requirements, just to ensure that the tradition can continue to be passed down."

Some inheritors require those who take the oath to establish a sect and to carry it forward.

Some inheritors will also ask those who have sworn an oath to avenge them, and so on.

In short, the requirements are incredibly varied and anything is possible! " said Ancestor Xingyun.

"But Ancestor, we can't see any specific requirements here!" Toyokawa was still confused.

“Indeed, so it’s a gamble! It all depends on your luck!” Ancestor Xingyun replied calmly.

"Um... okay!" Toyokawa stopped in front of the door, hesitant.

Although the inheritance was right before his eyes, and the feeling in his heart was becoming more and more obvious, he suddenly didn't want it anymore!

He had an absolute understanding of his own talent and abilities. No one of his generation could be better than him.

Therefore, he believes that even without this inheritance, he can still rise rapidly.

However, at this moment, Ancestor Xingyun spoke up again to remind him.

“Young Feng, I know you like to keep a low profile and you have a good understanding of your own talents and abilities.”

But I have some bad news for you.

According to my prediction, a great era is coming, and chaos will begin.

Only with sufficient strength can one secure a place in the world in the future.

So now, time is of the essence.

If, when chaos erupts, you discover that the strength you've lost due to a missed opportunity is just a tiny bit less than what you'll face in the future, won't you regret it?

Alright, Ancestor, I won't say any more. You decide for yourself!

Although Master Xingyun intended to persuade him, he did not force him.

Toyokawa was still pondering the meaning behind the ancestor's words.

After a moment, he finally made up his mind.

He then strode forward and placed his hands on the two large doors.

I pushed it in with all my might, but it wouldn't budge.

He channeled his spiritual energy and pushed again, but it still wouldn't budge.

When Ancestor Xingyun saw Fengchuan go to receive the inheritance, he nodded with considerable satisfaction.

But after violently pushing the door open, he was covered in black lines, and his eyes kept twitching.

He then put a hand to his forehead and reminded him, "Young Feng, is it possible that it's not pushing inward, but pulling outward?"

Upon hearing the reminder from Ancestor Xingyun, Fengchuan paused in his movements, his entire body seemingly frozen in place.

After a moment, he placed his hands on the doorknob on one side, his lips twitching slightly.

With a strong pull, the right-hand gate opened immediately.

Uh, how embarrassing! I made such a silly mistake!

Then, adhering to the principle that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was someone else who was embarrassed, Toyokawa casually opened the left-hand door again.

In this way, the entire portal is fully opened.

Just then, a red light shone down from the sky.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Heart Pavilion far away in Zhongzhou, the group of Heavenly Secrets Elders who were still doing their best to calculate were all stunned.

Because the celestial divination instrument in front of them suddenly produced a result.

However, just as they were preparing to press on and continue their calculations, the celestial instrument displayed a chaotic state, making it impossible to discern anything.

Meanwhile, on Toyokawa's side, as the red light shone down, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled incessantly.

Immediately, without any prompting from Toyokawa, the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire, along with the other four lotuses, manifested together high above Toyokawa's head.

The red light that shone down was caught by the karmic fire lotus as it fell.

The red light then contracted, transforming into a lotus seed that landed inside the lotus pod of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Subsequently, the other four lotuses each emitted a beam of light, which landed inside the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Meanwhile, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus spontaneously emitted a ray of light, which, together with the other four rays of light, enveloped and sealed the lotus seed from before.

Only then did the five-colored sacred lotus slowly close up and return to Fengchuan's spiritual space.

But all of this left the New Cloud Ancestor, who was watching from the sidelines, completely bewildered.

The old ancestor was completely bewildered.

What's going on? He's such an old man, and he's learned something new today?

In this world, there are actually people who can escape the causal lock and even seal off causality.

This is so surreal! Are you kidding me?!

Is it because he's old, his eyesight is failing, and he's no longer useful? Or has the world changed so much that he no longer recognizes it?

This is the first time I've heard of a contractual inheritance being carried on in this way.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely have called the person who spread the news an idiot!

But the facts were right in front of him, and the old man felt like he was about to become that stupid thing!

Wow, young man, you really know how to have fun!

So you only care about inheritance, not cause and effect?

If you do this, what are future generations supposed to do? Who will dare to establish this contract for inheritance in the future?
