Chapter 514: Chapter 458: Saint Heir
"Good! I have chosen this Jade Scroll!"
Lin Feng declared firmly, feeling that the Cultivation Technique was indeed perfectly suited for him.
As Lin Feng’s voice fell, the white-haired elder waved his hand, and the Jade Scroll flew into Lin Feng’s hands.
"This mass of blood is from the Ancient Dragon Elephant, of course, it’s just ordinary blood, not Essence Blood, and since it’s from an era long past, ninety-nine percent of its Essence Qi has dissipated. However, it will still be of great benefit to you."
The white-haired elder then pointed to a clump of golden blood.
"Ancient Dragon Elephant blood!"
Lin Feng was astonished; it was incredible that the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace even had the blood of such Divine Beasts.
Lin Feng gazed at the small clump of golden blood, within which he sensed not only a barbaric aura but also an overwhelming dragon might.
"Good, I’ll also take this blood!"
Lin Feng said without any hesitation. With this droplet of blood, his Wanxiang Divine Skill... no, it should be called the ’Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique’ would definitely make great strides.
"Alright! This last item, you can choose either this Bao Li Sword or this Yun Shen Dan!"
The white-haired elder nodded and pointed at a white Longsword and a light blue Elixir, continuing: "This Bao Li Sword is a Level Eight weapon, also known as an Emperor’s Divine Weapon, and this Yun Shen Dan is also a Level Eight Divine Pill, with the miraculous effect of permanently increasing spiritual power and improving comprehension!"
Lin Feng was deeply moved, as both were Level Eight treasures, making them rare treasures for him.
Lin Feng wished he could take both treasures, but the white-haired elder only allowed him to choose one, so he could only reluctantly make a choice in his heart.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I choose this Yun Shen Dan!"
Lin Feng did not choose the Level Eight Emperor’s Divine Weapon, but the Yun Shen Dan. Although the Emperor’s Divine Weapon was precious, the Yun Shen Dan was more important to him.
Weapons are, after all, external objects, while the Yun Shen Dan could enhance his innate Talent.
Increased spiritual power and improved comprehension would make the cultivation of Martial Arts much smoother.
Subsequently, all three treasures were in Lin Feng’s hands, and he solemnly put them away.
"Lin Feng, this token is the Holy Order of our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, which represents your identity as the Saint Heir. With this token, you can command all disciples of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace!"
The white-haired elder then took out a palm-sized token, which had nine colors, representing the Nine Great Palaces of Heavenly Vault Divine Palace. Additionally, a lifelike golden Divine Dragon was carved on it.
"Moreover, with this token, you can open a portal to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace at any of the Hundred Extremes Sacred Cities in the East Continent!"
Hearing the white-haired elder’s words, Lin Feng nodded, but his heart subtly stirred with the ability to command all disciples.
"Elder, how many disciples does the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace have at present?"
Lin Feng asked, knowing that even though the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace had long since fallen, they must have accepted numerous Official Disciples and Registered Disciples over the years!
The white-haired elder sighed upon hearing this and said, "Indeed, our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace has taken in quite a number of disciples over the years, but alas, most leave after obtaining some legacy, with only a handful eligible to return. Thus, these disciples lack a sense of belonging to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, and how many are willing to serve it remains unknown!"
Lin Feng frowned upon hearing this. If that was the case, those disciples were practically useless, unable to serve any purpose at all!
"Jing Yi, how many disciples does our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace have?"
The white-haired elder looked back at the middle-aged puppet.
Jing Yi saluted the white-haired elder and reported: "Honorable Thick Earth Palace Master, over these tens of thousands of years, our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace has accepted a total of 123,766 Official Disciples and Registered Disciples. According to the Soul Jade Scroll, there are 173 still alive in the world!"
"One hundred and seventy-three?"
The white-haired elder shook his head slightly. Once, in ancient times, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace had millions of disciples under its command, but now there were only a mere hundred or so left. Even among these, few could truly serve the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace. It was truly lamentable!
"Among these disciples, are there any strong individuals? Or particularly outstanding ones? Suitable to inherit the legacies of the Nine Great Sub-Palaces!"
The white-haired elder asked further.
Jing Yi responded, "There are two individuals with exceptional talent, barely suitable to inherit the legacies of the Nine Great Sub-Palaces. They are currently under observation."
"As for the strong, amongst all the surviving disciples, the one with the highest cultivation has reached the threshold of the Martial Venerate Realm, becoming one of the peak powerhouses on the Mainland. This person, known as ’Emperor Shih’, is the Palace Master of the Emperor Xuan Palace in the Central Continent!"
Upon hearing Jing Yi’s words, Lin Feng was deeply shocked.
The Palace Master of the Emperor Xuan Palace?
That person is the female emperor’s right-hand man!
This cannot be mistaken!
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
"Emperor Shih became an Official Disciple of our Golden Brilliance Palace ninety-five years ago. With his current cultivation, he could completely become a True Disciple of the Golden Brilliance Palace and possibly even the Palace Master in the future. However, he has never returned nor contacted us again, probably not wishing to serve our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace any longer," Jing Yi continued.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly. The other party had become the Palace Master of one of the Nine Great Forces of the Central Continent, controlling the life and death of millions. How could he be willing to serve as a mere disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace?
After listening to Jing Yi, the white-haired elder fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, as the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, you also need to find successors for the nine sub-palaces under your command. Only with the unison of the Nine Palaces can we better support the Saint Heir in achieving the ultimate great cause!"
