Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 833 - 558: An Unbelievable Truth!_2

But at the last moment, for some unknown reason, he changed his mind, stood still, and chose another path.

However, what ’self’ ultimately acquired should also be the Divine Ancient Inheritance, otherwise the purifying of the Corpse Wrapping Cloth would not have resulted in the Divine Ancient Inheritance, but rather the Tao Ancient, or even the Ancient.

Qin Zheng thought this in his heart.

The middle-aged man also nodded slowly, his gaze first passing over the six prodigies who chose the safe plan, then looking at the three who chose another path, he said solemnly, "I’ll remind you one last time."

"Choosing the Divine Ancient Inheritance is almost a sure thing, seeking another opportunity on your own might return empty-handed; are you sure you want to find it yourself?"

"Yes!"

As the middle-aged man’s voice fell, three voices simultaneously sounded, echoing firmly in the empty cave.

"Good!"

The middle-aged man nodded, then waved his hand, causing nine of the surrounding dense holes to radiate a brighter light, and the emitted blood fragrance became even stronger.

"These nine places you cannot choose, the rest you may choose freely."

Seeing this, Qin Zheng felt a slight surprise in his heart.

Nine Divine Ancient Inheritance Lands, with only six chosen, leaving three, but the middle-aged man’s actions were no different from reducing the remaining three by three possible candidates.

After all, the remaining three are merely gambling on a chance, not refusing these nine Divine Ancient Inheritances.

Qin Zheng didn’t quite understand the behavior of the middle-aged man, but ’self’ and the other two had no objections, gently nodding and then choosing one from the myriad holes based on their intuition, turning into a stream of light and rushing inside.

The vast cave was far behind, the quiet passage came into sight, and Qin Zheng still did not understand why ’self’ suddenly changed, making another choice.

And just at this moment.

"Who are you?"

’Self’ stopped, turned around and looked around to ensure no one else was in the dark passage, speaking heavily.

Qin Zheng was originally pondering the reason for ’self’s change of mind, when suddenly hearing this question, his heart skipped a beat, and his mind quickly focused, ready and alert.

He could feel... this question was directed at him!

There was also no one else in this quiet passage!

Qin Zheng remained silent, even calming all mental activity, achieving a state of no thoughts or desires instantly.

However, ’self’ did not stop questioning, now muttering to himself: "Although my talents in Hou Shisan aren’t bad, I believe the strongest part is being able to maintain a tranquil mind at all times."

"But it’s because of your appearance each time that I am chastised by the elders for an unsettled mind, which is impossible for me!"

"I pondered repeatedly during cultivation, why would I be distracted at certain moments, carefully experiencing the differences from the usual, and then discovered some oddities."

"It is you who descended into my body, your will interfered with my soul, causing my distraction, which is the root cause!"

"Although your interference is very limited, merely making me look at unnecessary places, it is extremely dangerous for me!"

"Just because each time your descent is brief and you have not harmed me, I have kept your existence hidden, or else if I informed my clan’s ancient Tao ancestor, he would remove you from my body and refine you!"

Hou Shisan’s voice was calm and firm, as if not doubting his own assumption, directly affirming Qin Zheng’s existence.

And after speaking the last slightly threatening words, the quiet passage returned to silence.

Until a few breaths later, Hou Shisan lightly furrowed his brows and spoke again: "You needn’t think that staying silent can deceive me; just now, I discovered you descended again."

"I may not know who you are, nor why you silently descend into my body, but I won’t sit back and wait for death!"

"Today, in my clan’s Ancestor Tomb, with Ancient Taoist Soldiers constantly watching, either you are strong enough to occupy my body, or I will trigger them to slay you!"

"I will give you ten breaths, after which I want your response!"

Hou Shisan finished speaking and immediately started the countdown:

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"..."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

As the final countdown struck, Qin Zheng gently sighed in his heart and attempted to communicate mentally: "I mean no harm, I just..."

"No response, was I wrong?"

Hou Shisan mumbled to himself, momentarily causing Qin Zheng’s mind to freeze, but also letting him relax considerably.

With the confident tone just now, as well as speaking of each event correlating to his descents, Qin Zheng almost believed it.

And if Hou Shisan indeed sensed his presence, what was occurring wouldn’t be an Illusion Realm but current events!

This means the Merit Scroll didn’t let him enter a memory but directly placed his consciousness in Hou Shisan’s body across time and space in the ’present’!

The former would be like reading a book, watching past events; the latter truly possibly affecting the past, particularly the Ancient Clan’s past!

Qin Zheng’s thoughts quickly surged.

And right then.

"Forget it."

Hou Shisan’s voice sounded, then he continued rushing to the depths of the quiet passage, and soon after, a spacious cave filled with holes appeared, Hou Shisan continued into another dark passage following his intuition.

Countless choices, countless extensions, not knowing when the end could be reached, or what awaited at the end.

And in this endless cycle, Qin Zheng’s mind drifted back to the previous question.

Did Hou Shisan... sense my existence?

If he didn’t sense a self-change, why did he attempt such a probe?

But if he truly sensed my existence, even the faintest awareness signifies tremendous significance!

What could I do to benefit the future from this, or can I directly prevent the Power of Curse from appearing?

Numerous complex thoughts surged in Qin Zheng’s mind, optimizing and eliminating them according to the information he currently possessed, planning possible future actions.

At this moment, regardless of whether it was Hou Shisan or Qin Zheng, they were all immersed in their endeavors until entering a new cave where they saw a central figure sitting there.

A surge of intense joy erupted, instantly awakening Qin Zheng from his deep thought, allowing him to see the figure standing in the cave.

The figure was colossal, akin to a small mountain, covered with unknown massive beast hide, exuding an overwhelmingly terrifying aura.

Even though this figure had already fallen, the aura now emanated was far stronger than the middle-aged man’s!

The middle-aged man was at the Divine Ancient Realm level!

In that instant, Qin Zheng deduced the level of the middle-aged man, as compared to the Spirit Ancient Realm prodigies, he was immensely powerful!

And at that moment, with this gigantic figure appearing, he clearly understood that this figure was at the Tao Ancient Realm!

Because the aura from this figure, compared to the middle-aged man, also demonstrated overwhelming superiority!

Meanwhile, Hou Shisan, eyes gleaming, stared at this figure, with intense joy surging in his heart, and couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Indeed so! Just as the legendary records state!"

"If the ethereal will descends upon you, it can greatly enhance your fate, triggering rare opportunities!"

"My guess was indeed correct!!"
