After parting ways with Dongfang Shan, Gu Chen and the other three also left the depths of the earth.
Their location was still within the confines of Peidu. As soon as they left the underground and were about to return to Luoshui Palace, Gu Chen suddenly changed his mind.
"You guys go back first, I have to go somewhere." Gu Chen said.
The Yinlong clan chief and Taohua layman were a little surprised, but seeing that Gu Chen had no intention of explaining more, they nodded and went back first.
Gu Chen soared into the sky and flew towards the outside of Peidu, with a rare expression of excitement on his face.
The journey was very fast, and when he reached the wilderness hundreds of miles away from Peidu, he stopped, suddenly fell downwards, opened the mountain on the spot, and drilled into the heart of the mountain!
Gu Chen was sure that no one would notice no matter how hard he worked in this place. With a thought in mind, Gu Chen turned his hand and took out the Yuanzu's skull from the space in his body!
Just a few days ago, Yuanzu's skull was about to be broken, so he transferred the skull from the Origin Tripod to his own internal space.
Not long after the conversation with Dongfang Shan, he clearly felt that the seals previously placed on Yuanzu's skull were rapidly disintegrating, and it seemed that an explosive force was about to pour out of his skull!
So he left Peidu immediately because he was not sure what would happen next. If the commotion was too big and news of the rebirth of Great Yuan Lishu spread, then the new Pei Dynasty would be doomed.
The Taoist ancestors from all directions will come after hearing the news!
Arriving in this wilderness and imposing restrictions around him, Gu Chen finally had no worries and looked expectantly at the Yuanzu skull, which spontaneously floated in mid-air as soon as it left the space inside his body, bursting out with dazzling light.
The original crimson and hot skull of Yuanzu seemed to be about to melt at this time, and the original egg-sized spot where the brow bone was located was like the sun about to explode. Just by looking at it, Gu Chen could feel the energy contained in it.
The overwhelming aura within it!
This level of aura can only be possessed by the Taoist ancestor who stands at the pinnacle of the Hongmeng Taoist world. Even if the Yuanzu dies, the pressure he possesses is still far beyond what anyone can match!
Under the influence of Taoist-level pressure, the golden blood in Gu Chen's body spontaneously surged, exuding a vague domineering aura.
"After many years, a suitable successor finally appeared..."
In the skull, in addition to the constant flow of Dao mark fragments about the general outline of the Great Yuan Li Technique, there are actually new things this time!
It’s divine thought!
An extremely powerful divine thought!
Feeling the will revealed by his divine thoughts, Gu Chen's heart trembled!
Yuanzu, the belief of all body-refining monks in the Taoist world, the Supreme Yuanmen whose body could not be destroyed even by the Taoist ancestors from ten directions, still has consciousness remaining many years after his death!
"My descendant, come closer to me and let me take a good look at you."
Two balls of soul fire suddenly appeared in the originally empty eye sockets of Yuanzu's skull, and Gu Chen could feel that he was examining himself.
"I've met senior."
Gu Chen calmly approached the skull without much fear in his heart.
No matter how powerful the Yuanzu was, he is already dead. Even if he has any back-ups, they will not be of any use to him.
Gu Chen had already had an idea about how to start the inheritance of the Yuanzu, which must require extremely harsh conditions. Only when a successor who meets the conditions appears, the backhand left by the Yuanzu in the skull will be manifested.
Gu Chen didn't know what the specific conditions were, he only knew that he definitely didn't meet the conditions, otherwise he wouldn't have struggled for so long to elicit the divine will of the ancestor.
He cheated, using the special power of the Origin Overlord Cauldron to forcibly refine the skull of the original ancestor, and finally got this inheritance out!
Now that the Yuanzu's divine thought appears, there are two possibilities for this divine thought.
One is that this spiritual mind has long lost most of its ability to think, and it only exists to choose a suitable successor.
If this is the case, when Gu Chen has broken the seal, he will default to Gu Chen as the suitable successor and directly pass on the Great Yuan Li Technique to him.
Gu Chen hoped so, so he cooperated and obeyed.
There is another possibility, which is more difficult. Gu Chen doesn't want that result to happen.
Gu Chen walked close enough to the skull. The two balls of soul fire in Yuanzu's eyes flashed, and extremely pure spiritual thoughts were wrapped around Gu Chen.
"A member of the Overlord Clan! You are not my descendant!"
Suddenly, the two balls of soul fire became brighter, and the Yuanzu spoke, his voice mixed with overwhelming anger!
"People of the Ba clan, how did you do it? How did you unlock the restriction I left behind?"
Yuanzu asked, his voice hysterical, revealing a strong murderous intention!
Gu Chen felt the other party's anger and murderous intent and couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that things are going against expectations, and a second possibility has emerged.
The spiritual thought left behind by the ancestor still has the ability to think. It is even possible that part of the soul of the ancestor has remained!
Gu Chen once thought that the Yuanzu, who could not be destroyed physically and mentally even by the Taoist ancestors from all ten directions, would choose to blow himself up and commit suicide just because he couldn't bear the humiliation?
It would not be surprising at all if a person of this level left behind some means of resurrection from death.
The skull is obviously the ancestor's last resort, and the reason why he left the inheritance in the skull may not be to find a successor, but maybe to find a suitable host...
The murderous intention shown by Yuanzu now seemed to confirm some of Gu Chen's bold guesses, giving him a slight headache.
If this is the case, it will not be easy to successfully obtain the Great Yuanli Technique from the Yuanzu.
After all, even if the remaining soul of the Yuanzu is already very weak, it is not difficult for him to destroy the inheritance of the Great Yuanli Technique.
What's more, the brow bone obviously contains very terrifying power, maybe it's the Yuanzu's backhand.
If he could exert even one-tenth of his power during his lifetime, it would be enough to cause huge trouble for Gu Chen!
Gu Chen was glad that he had chosen the right place. If he were to deal with the remnant soul of the Yuanzu in Peidu, the movement would not be concealed at all.
"Senior, it is fate that you and I meet here across the long years. I am willing to accept your inheritance and avenge you on the Taoist ancestors of the ten directions in order to comfort your spirit in heaven." Gu Chen said without joy or sorrow.
"Fate is nothing! You ruined my whole plan. If I don't kill you, it's already a great gift!"
Yuanzu immediately roared, not at all like Daozu, but rather a little angry.
"The juniors have long admired the reputation of the seniors. Since childhood, they have made great ambitions to revive the Yuan Sect. They vowed to inherit the legacy of the seniors, avenge the grievances of the seniors, and hope that the seniors will fulfill their wishes."
Gu Chen seemed not to have heard the curse word and repeated it again in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"What legacy do I need you to inherit? I will avenge myself. Don't put money on your face!"
Yuanzu blurted out and didn't care about Gu Chen's intentions. He was so angry that he almost exploded.
Gu Chen was silent. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. The Yuanzu was not leaving his mantle to pass on to his descendants, but was looking for a body to be resurrected from the dead.
But his eternal plan was overturned in the gutter when he met someone like Gu Chen.
