Xu Haode searched very carefully, from the main hall to the side rooms, and then to the distant houses.
He didn't miss a single one.
Not only inside and outside the houses, but also above and below, he searched meticulously, truly with the momentum of scraping three feet off the ground.
He was proficient in the art of mechanisms and the way of concealment, and no secret room or passage could escape his eyes.
Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be curious.
Could it be that Xu Haode also had a super-sense similar to his own, able to see these dark places?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his sharpness, which was a bit too keen.
After a while, Xu Haode finally stopped, stood in front of this pile of boxes and cases, and showed a satisfied smile: "It's all here!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Xu is amazing, able to find so much."
"I have a secret technique, and these things can't escape my eyes."
"Admirable," Chu Zhiyuan praised.
"Now, it's time for the most exciting moment!" Xu Haode smiled and said, "What I like most is this time, the most exciting moment!"
With super-sense, most of the boxes and cases could be seen clearly.
Only the kind of spirit-sealing box could isolate the super-sense insight.
Among this pile of cases, there was only one spirit-sealing box.
From this, it can be seen that compared to heritage, this Huaisu Sect is indeed just a small sect.
"... Then I won't be polite, let's start!" Xu Haode's eyes gleamed.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.
Xu Haode turned around and began to open the cases one by one. The contents of the cases were varied.
There were jewelry, gold and silver, secret manuals, letters, pearls and jade, and hair.
Xu Haode shook his head repeatedly, quite dissatisfied.
He didn't like these secret manuals, didn't care about the gold and silver jewelry, didn't need to read the letters, and the hair was even more inexplicable.
Chu Zhiyuan, on the other hand, opened the letters to read.
Some of these letters were family letters, some were love letters, and some were letters between enemies.
He read them extremely quickly, skimming through them and throwing them aside after reading.
Finally, he shook his head.
These evil sect disciples had extinguished human feelings, but they were not immune to worldly affairs. Some had relatives, and some had friends.
"Below are the boxes, Your Highness, don't you want to open one?" Xu Haode said, "I find that my luck today is not very good, I don't know if it's been contaminated by that extraterrestrial evil demon!"
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.
"Damn it, it must be contaminated by their bad luck!" Xu Haode raised his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, hating it dissatisfiedly.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Xu, you continue, but don't believe in this evil!"
"Wait a moment." Xu Haode faced north, put his hands together, closed his eyes, and muttered.
Chu Zhiyuan heard him muttering in his ear: "Ancestral Master bless, Ancestral Master bless, Ancestral Master bless..."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.
This was asking for the blessing of the Evil Emperor.
The Evil Emperor ascended, maybe he can really bless him.
Chu Zhiyuan carefully examined the things that appeared in the boxes, and used his super-sense to observe them several times.
Finally, his gaze stopped on a black iron plate.
At first glance, it looked like an identity plate, unremarkable.
It was palm-sized, with patterns engraved on both sides, the patterns were dark and deep, not attracting attention.
If it weren't for the super-sense, knowing that it was placed in the spirit-sealing box, I'm afraid I wouldn't think it was extraordinary.
But the spirit-sealing box would never contain ordinary things, and the entire Huaisu Sect only had this one spirit-sealing box.
But under the super-sense, he really didn't feel anything wrong, nothing different.
This was just an unremarkable iron plate, and the material was also ordinary.
He finally picked it up and handed it to Xu Haode, who had just put down his palm and was preparing to start opening the box again: "Mr. Xu, take a look at this."
Xu Haode took it over and looked at it, looking at Chu Zhiyuan in confusion: "What is this?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Is this plate a bit strange? That box is a spirit-sealing box."
"Can't see it," Xu Haode looked at it carefully again, squinting at it under the sunlight, looking at it vertically, looking at it straight, and looking at it in reverse.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly: "I really can't see anything, could it be that these patterns are strange?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "I'll take it back and study it carefully."
"Alright," Xu Haode handed it back to him.
Chu Zhiyuan put it back into his sleeve with his hands folded and sent it into the iron finger ring.
Xu Haode then began to open the boxes one by one.
The things in the boxes were even more chaotic, with bedding, clothes, gold bricks, silver bricks, weapons, precious toys, calligraphy and paintings, treasure clothes,
and silver notes.
Varied, almost all-encompassing.
Xu Haode cheered from time to time, excited and impassioned.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and looked at the jewelry that was opened, as well as some varied secret manuals.
Finally, all the boxes were opened, and the entire Huaisu Sect's wealth was revealed.
"Hehe, Your Highness, a windfall!" Xu Haode smiled.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, you only pick one? We'll split it in half."
Xu Haode waved his hand and said: "What do I want these things for? They're all burdens."
Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows.
Xu Haode said: "I'm a wanderer all year round. I can get silver from the evil sect demons at will, but I don't want to be tied down by these things, or I'll be far from death!"
Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "Admirable."
Most people don't understand this truth, and few people who understand this truth can do it.
There are very few people in the world who can combine knowledge and action to this truth.
It can only be said that Xu Haode is worthy of being a successor of the Evil Emperor, and the successors of the Evil Emperor are indeed not ordinary people.
Taking the path of devouring often affects the mind, making cultivators more and more greedy, wanting to snatch the world and occupy everything.
Once someone becomes like that, it's difficult to reach the top tier. They need to transcend and break free from the influence, which requires extremely high talent and mental fortitude.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Xu, I'm very curious about how you became the heir to the Evil Emperor."
"It's the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant," Xu Haode said with a smile.
"Oh—?"
Seeing his expression, Xu Haode couldn't help but laugh. "So, Your Highness, you didn't know that the Evil Emperor's inheritance is indeed passed down through the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
"I was three years old when I accidentally picked up a jade pendant," Xu Haode chuckled. "I guess I'm a genius. I could speak at birth and had memories. At three, I was equivalent to someone who was thirteen."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
This was indeed a child prodigy.
Xu Haode said, "When I was three, I found a jade pendant by the river. It was the Evil Emperor Jade Pendant. I obtained the Evil Emperor's inheritance and started practicing martial arts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped that massacre."
"Three years old—" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed. "When I was three, I was probably still breastfeeding. I can't remember anything from that time."
"Actually, sometimes I think having a good memory isn't necessarily a good thing. It's better to forget some things."
Chu Zhiyuan agreed.
He glanced at all the boxes and chests. "Mr. Xu, don't you think something is missing here?"
"What's missing?" Xu Haode asked.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The inheritance of the Huaisu Sect—the cultivation methods practiced by the Huaisu Sect disciples."
Xu Haode looked at the huge golden statue. "Is it hidden in there? Is it a mental transmission?"
"How can we receive it? It's not that easy, is it?"
"It's indeed strange…" Xu Haode frowned and pondered, then said, "It's a pity we killed them all. We couldn't ask them. Let me think, it seems there was a Huaisu Secret Scripture."
Chu Zhiyuan's spirits lifted.
Xu Haode said, "If it's the Huaisu Secret Scripture… it's often in the form of a token or jade pendant. Could there be one among these jade pendants?"
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and took out the black iron token from his sleeve.
"Is it this?" Xu Haode suspiciously examined the iron token, half-believing, half-doubting.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and tossed the black iron token towards the golden statue.
The black iron token accurately stuck to the center of the golden statue's forehead.
This was a flash of inspiration.
He didn't know why he did it, but a flash of inspiration in his mind led him to do it.
The golden statue suddenly lit up.
Xu Haode hurriedly said, "There really is something strange?"
Chu Zhiyuan's body tensed up. If his intuition hadn't given him a warning, he would have already retreated from the valley.
Even without a warning, he still prepared to retreat and leave at any moment.
The huge golden statue slowly became brighter, and then a murmuring sound seemed to come from the horizon, echoing softly.
The voice was ethereal, as if it were far away, but every word could be heard clearly.
It was a set of cultivation instructions.
After reciting it repeatedly three times, the golden statue slowly dimmed.
And the black iron token turned into a crystal clear, like mysterious ice.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and beckoned with his hand.
The crystal token transformed from the black iron token floated into his hand, and then a realization arose spontaneously.
This jade pendant contained information. As long as it was placed on the forehead, one could obtain its inheritance.
Was the huge golden statue activating it, putting it in a state of inheritance?
Was the inheritance method of this Huaisu Sect so miraculous?
Looking at the statue in this valley, with its multi-legged human body and imposing aura, with four small ones surrounding a large one, it was quite impressive.
Plus, the inheritance method was so grand, with celestial music lingering.
It was indeed cool enough, no wonder it could tempt so many people to join it.
Xu Haode also saw the truth and curiously said, "Your Highness, is this going to be an inheritance empowerment? Don't you want to try it?"
Chu Zhiyuan looked at the crystal clear token, resisted the temptation, and shook his head.
Xu Haode said, "What's the harm in taking a look?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "There might be traps inside. Let's forget it."
Xu Haode looked at him in surprise.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, brought his palms together and pressed gently.
"Buzz—" The crystal clear token emitted a trembling sound, shaking incessantly as if trying to break free from Chu Zhiyuan's palms.
Chu Zhiyuan was surprised and pressed again.
His palms had the strength of thousands of pounds, but he couldn't crush this token.
And the light of the token became brighter and brighter, even a little dazzling.
His palms seemed to be holding a small sun.
"Buzz buzz—" It trembled even more violently.
Patterns gradually emerged on Chu Zhiyuan's palms, the strange patterns were lit up, and began to flow as if they were alive.
With the flow of the patterns, he gained twice the strength out of thin air.
The power of the True Dragon was activated.
"Bang!" A thunderous explosion came from his palms.
The dazzling light disappeared instantly.
Opening his palms, he revealed a smile. In his palm was a pile of black powder.
The inheritance token was ultimately destroyed.
Xu Haode blurted out, "Your Highness, you're ruthless!"
This kind of inheritance treasure, the entire inheritance of the Huaisu Sect, he didn't even look at it.
If it were him, he definitely couldn't help but take a look. Whether he practiced it or not was another matter, but knowing more wouldn't hurt.
But His Highness just resisted it.
Another black iron token appeared in Chu Zhiyuan's hand.
