Chapter 512: Chapter 457 Wanxiang Divine Skill
Lin Feng nodded at hearing this, respectfully paying tribute to each statue in succession. Now that he had become the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, these figures were all his predecessors.
There were dozens of statues, each with a stone tablet beneath it, listing information about these predecessors.
"Emperor of Heavenly Vault, the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, the invincible existence of the Heavenly Vault Continent in the ancient era..."
The largest statue ahead was strikingly that of the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.
Lin Feng’s heart trembled, "The invincible existence of the Heavenly Vault Continent? It seems I have underestimated the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace."
"Emperor Bai, the second Palace Master of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, direct disciple of the Emperor of Heavenly Vault, a sword dao genius who created the Great Vault of Heaven Sword Technique, unmatched within his domain."
"Emperor Lei Yun, the ninth Palace Master of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, with unrivaled talent in the ancient era, ruled the Heavenly Vault Continent for thirty thousand years, never defeated..."
"Emperor of the Blazing Sky, the sixteenth Palace Master of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, Level Nine Xuan Grade, Fire Spirit Body, unmatched in his generation in all realms, reached the Emperor Level in just twenty years..."
"..."
Looking at the information recorded under these statues, Lin Feng’s heart was filled with awe.
These individuals were all earth-shatteringly powerful, almost all of them were once peak figures of the Heavenly Vault Continent.
Even amongst their contemporaries, while some might contend with them, none could defeat them.
"Compared to them, as the future heir to the Palace Master, my talent is indeed lacking!"
Lin Feng chuckled bitterly and shook his head. Their talents indeed far surpassed his own!
"Talent does not represent everything!"
The white-haired elder shook his head upon hearing this, and looking towards another taller statue, he said, "Look over there!"
Lin Feng walked over upon hearing this and looked at the stone tablet under that statue.
"Five Elements Emperor, the last Palace Master of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace and also the strongest amongst them. Born with poor talent, Three Stars, entered the martial master rank at eighteen, stepped into Great Martial Master at thirty, Earth Martial Master at fifty... It took him a thousand years to reach the realm of Martial Emperor, but his comprehension was exceptional, his perseverance was awe-inspiring, and with his unparalleled fortitude, he ultimately became invincible under the heavens..."
Lin Feng quietly looked at the information on the stone tablet, his heart unsettled for a long time.
This kind of talent was indeed exceptionally poor, yet this person’s final achievement was the highest, surpassing everyone, even the overall strength of the founding ancestor of the Divine Palace, the Emperor of Heavenly Vault.
Only the strongest among Martial Emperors could be called Emperor, and among these dozens of statues, aside from the founding ancestor Emperor of Heavenly Vault, the Five Elements Emperor was the only other Emperor.
"A person’s success, though talent is very important, what’s more critical is the heart, a heart to become a strong warrior, a heart of an invincible warrior!"
The voice of the white-haired elder echoed beside Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stood quietly for a moment, deeply moved by the elder’s words.
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder!"
Lin Feng bowed deeply to the white-haired elder, and at the same time, his heart stirred, his Five Elements Attribute was extremely high, could it be that he would receive the inheritance of the Five Elements Emperor?
"Thank you for your guidance!" Lin Feng thanked the white-haired elder again.
"You need not thank me, I am merely the Palace Master of the Thick Earth Palace, abiding by the will of the Palace Master while waiting for the heir, naturally, I will do my utmost to assist you!"
The white-haired elder smiled.
"Elder, you have waited for hundreds of thousands of years, so are you...?"
Lin Feng examined the somewhat ethereal body of the white-haired elder, hesitating.
Lin Feng didn’t believe a person could live for hundreds of thousands of years; the appearance of the white-haired elder was obviously not that of someone alive.
The white-haired elder obviously knew what was on Lin Feng’s mind, giving a bitter smile and sighing deeply, "I have already perished hundreds of thousands of years ago, in that final battle at the end of the ancient era. Not only did the Palace Master perish, but none of the nine Palace Masters of the divisions survived either! Our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace thus perished as well!"
The elder’s eyes showed a look of reminiscence and his face was filled with bitterness.
Lin Feng was shocked, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace was so powerful, who had the capability to destroy it?
And the Palace Master mentioned by the white-haired elder must be that strongest, last Palace Master, the Five Elements Emperor!
The Five Elements Emperor was already invincible under the heavens, who could have killed him?
The white-haired elder continued, "Now, I’m merely a lingering thought, only able to maintain this thought from dispersing with the help of the Spirit Protection Array, but I won’t last much longer!"
"Fortunately, in this last moment of time, I have finally found the most suitable person to inherit the mantle of the Palace Master!"
The white-haired elder looked at Lin Feng, a pleased expression in his eyes.
If another hundred years had passed without Lin Feng’s arrival, he would have chosen a genius with excellent talent, though unable to inherit the Dao lineage of the Five Elements Emperor, they could still inherit other powerful Dao lineages.
Lin Feng’s heart stirred, asking, "Elder, are you saying that my talent is the most suitable for the inheritance of the venerable Five Elements Emperor?"
"Exactly!"
The white-haired elder nodded, saying, "The inheritor needed by the Palace Master must possess the Five Elements Attribute, and the talent in Five Elements Attribute must be high. Your Five Elements Attribute has reached Level Seven and Level Eight, barely meeting the standards of the Palace Master!"
Lin Feng nodded, now thoroughly understanding, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace continuously emerging, attracting geniuses here, was all to select an heir for the Five Elements Emperor!
However, Lin Feng also had some doubts, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace had waited hundreds of thousands of years, countless geniuses had appeared during this time, even if no one met the standard of having simultaneous Five Elements Attributes as required, there must have been someone whose overall talent far surpassed his.
