Chapter 1039 Inheritor?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Chu Jun stood blankly at a fork in the road, and the words of the jade statue seemed to echo in his ears, "Hmph, you will show mercy to the jade!"

"Could it be Yu'er? If it was really her, why did she still attack me? But if it wasn't for her, why was her voice and tone different?" Chu Jun muttered to himself.

"Isn't the jade statue the inheritance of the Jade Emperor? But why did it suddenly become the Jade Emperor, and that Chai'er was recycled like Pearl as a magic treasure?"

Chu Jun did not catch up with the jade statue and returned to the cave hall with a stomach full of questions.

When Lin Yueyi saw Chu Jun return dejectedly, she knew without asking that she had not caught up with the jade statue. She gloated and said, "Your speed is too slow."

Chu Jun glared at Lin Yueyi unhappily. However, seeing her current appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Lin Yueyi, thanks to your help this time, how is this body? Although it looks clumsy, it's still quite cute. It's chubby. It won't break easily, right? Let me pinch it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pinch it.

A brilliant sword light sliced over. Chu Jun quickly stopped and jumped back. Lin Yueyi coldly said, "Open up the small world!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? It won't grow more than a few centimeters in a few minutes. Let's talk first. I still have a lot of questions to ask." Chu Jun said seriously.

Lin Yueyi cooperated strangely and said indifferently, "Ask!"

"Pearl said that the jade looked like the inheritance of the Jade Emperor, but why did it suddenly become the Jade Emperor again?"

"There are only two explanations. The first possibility is that the Jade Emperor's primordial spirit has always existed in the jade statue, and the second possibility is that the Jade Emperor's inheritor exists in the jade statue," Lin Yueyi said indifferently.

Chu Jun's heart stirred slightly as he blurted out, "Inheritor!"

Lin Yueyi glanced at Chu Jun and said coldly, "The inheritor is most likely Zhao Yu."

Chu Jun subconsciously shook his head, "It can't be Yu'er. If it was really Yu'er, how could she possibly snatch my Nine Dragons Cauldron? Yu'er wouldn't do that."

Lin Yueyi sneered, "Don't be too naive. In the past, Zhao Yu was still an ordinary woman. When the memories of the inheritance awakened, she was the Jade Emperor. She was no longer the Zhao Yu who loved you deeply. In the eyes of the Jade Emperor, the relationship between you and her was nothing more than a dream."

Chu Jun's handsome face darkened. Although he did not agree with Lin Yueyi's words, there was no way he could refute them.

"However, she didn't hurt you. It seems that she is being polite to you. Perhaps she still has feelings for you!" Lin Yueyi's words seemed to be comforting, but it sounded like it made people's hearts feel uncomfortable.

Chu Jun said unhappily, "I would rather believe that the jade statue is the original primordial spirit of the Jade Emperor than Yu'er."

"If that's the case, you'd better hope that Zhao Yu isn't an inheritor!"

"Why?"

"Since the Jade Emperor's primordial spirit has always existed, she doesn't need any inheritors at all. What she needs is a physical body!"

Chu Jun's expression changed slightly, but he quickly shook his head and said, "If the Jade Emperor's primordial spirit needs a physical body, then Pearl and Chai'er are fine. They don't need to look for Yu'er at all."

"Pearl and Chai'er are nothing more than magical treasures that she forged in a special way, but Zhao Yu is a real person, and …"

Chu Jun raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked, "And what?"

"Furthermore … Pearl said that the inheritor must place the jade statue on the platform to obtain the inheritance of the Jade Emperor. As you saw just now, the jade statue is absorbing the moonlight, but Chai'er, who is trying to obtain the inheritance power, has disappeared." As Lin Yueyi spoke, she extended her short chubby hand and pointed at the broken black flag on the ground.

Chu Jun immediately recognized this small black flag as Chai'er's magic treasure and blurted out, "Isn't this Chai'er's?"

Lin Yueyi nodded and said, "Chai'er placed the jade statue on the Moon Worshipping Platform for the purpose of obtaining the Jade Emperor's inheritance. However, now that even the Life Saving Flag has been crippled, it can be seen that she did not obtain any inheritance. On the contrary, she might even lose her life."

"So inheritance is just a conspiracy of the Jade Emperor? Is it deliberately deceiving the inheritor into sending the jade statue to the Moon Worshipping Platform so that she can absorb the moonlight of the Moon Worshipping Platform and seize the inheritor's physical body?" Chu Jun asked in shock.

"I guess so, but that Chai'er is obviously not an inheritor, so the Jade Emperor did not obtain the ideal physical body."

Chu Jun couldn't help but secretly pinch his sweat, and happily said, "Fortunately, the one who sent the jade statue this time wasn't Yu'er!"

However, Lin Yueyi shook her head and said, "All of this is only the first possible guess. If the person that exists in the jade statue is not the Jade Emperor's primordial spirit, but the inheritor Zhao Yu …"

"Hmph, you're really good at showing mercy to others!"

Jade Statue's jealous words sounded in Chu Jun's ears. Could it be that it was really Yu'er in the jade statue?

"If Zhao Yu was in the jade statue, then she was obviously still digesting the Jade Emperor's inheritance. Perhaps the reason why Pearl had sent her to the Moon Worshipping Platform was to speed up the digestion of the Jade Emperor's inheritance. In short, she had not fully obtained the Jade Emperor's power, otherwise, she would not have retreated so easily today."

Chu Jun's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He was both worried that Zhao Yu would treat him as a passer-by after obtaining the Jade Emperor's inheritance, and worried that his unintentional interruption would affect her inheritance.

Lin Yueyi seemed to have seen through Chu Jun's thoughts and said indifferently, "If the jade statue is the Jade Emperor's primordial spirit, then you really need to worry."

Chu Jun naturally understood what Lin Yueyi meant. If the jade statue was the Jade Emperor's playful spirit, then Yu'er, as the inheritor, would naturally have to contribute her physical body. As for Yu'er's original primordial spirit, she would be in danger of being fused or even wiped out. At that time, Yu'er would not be the Yu'er that he knew.

Lin Yueyi said coldly, "If that's the case, you don't have to worry. It's a thousand times easier for the Jade Emperor to find an inheritor than you. Let's face it."

Chu Jun also understood this principle, but it still sounded extremely ear-piercing. He glared at Lin Yueyi in displeasure and said, "Can you say something nice?"

Lin Yueyi seemed to understand that Chu Jun was in a bad mood, so she only snorted coldly and did not retort.

Chu Jun took a deep breath to calm his emotions. It was useless to worry now. The most urgent thing was to return to the ground as soon as possible so that no one would worry. After a long time, Xiangjun, Yu Yi, and the other ladies would come all the way here.

"What's the use of this Crescent Moon Divine Stone?" Chu Jun pointed at the round jade stone that was nearly two meters tall and had a radius of five meters.

"The Cold Moon Divine Stone is formed from ordinary jade by absorbing a large amount of moonlight essence. This Cold Moon Divine Stone is so huge, and the amount of moonlight contained within it is truly rare. It can't be formed in less than a hundred thousand years. This is extremely helpful to your cultivation of the Cold Moon Art. Unfortunately, it has been absorbed by the jade statue."

Hearing this, Chu Jun's mood improved a little and he asked, "Then these moonlights are enough for me to advance to the seventh level of the Cold Moon Art, right?"

"Of course it's enough, but refining and absorbing this kind of moonlight is not so easy. It will take a lot of time. If you run around like this all day, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so without spending a few years." Lin Yueyi said coldly. Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with Chu Jun's "carelessness". Fortunately, she no longer needed Chu Jun to reconstruct her physical body. Otherwise, she would force Chu Jun to cultivate in seclusion.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Don't forget that I have time to speed up the array disc!"

"That depends on whether you can still use it!" Lin Yue said indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Chu Jun asked in confusion.

'"Every magic treasure has its limits. Your current strength is no weaker than a king level magic treasure. The energy fluctuations caused by your cultivation are no longer something that the Time Acceleration Array can withstand. Perhaps, it will fail as soon as it is activated, and it will shatter severely!" Lin Yueyi replied.

Chu Jun couldn't help but rub his chin dejectedly. It seemed that there really wasn't an eternal cheating tool. Fortunately, Lin Yueyi reminded him that he could also use the acceleration array disc for others if he couldn't use it. It would be a pity if it was destroyed.

"You'd better work harder to cultivate. I have a premonition that the speed of the ritual has increased!" Lin Yueyi's tone was a little heavy.

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly said, "Are you saying that your world will meet the Three Realms ahead of time?"

Lin Yueyi nodded!

Chu Jun frowned and said, "Lin Yueyi, why aren't you willing to tell me the truth? For example, the Nine Cauldrons, the Fallen Immortal Period …"

"There are some things I don't want to tell you, but I can't!" Lin Yue said indifferently.

"It's this sentence again, you bastard!" Chu Jun said.

Lin Yueyi had already said "your sister" as a curse, and her gaze instantly turned cold as she shouted, "I dare to say it again!"

Chu Jun laughed, '"Lin Yue Yi, your body won't be like this in the future, right? Then his master is too cruel. A woman who was originally as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal has turned into a lotus root. Although she is a translucent crystal lotus root, she is still not a lotus root."

Lin Yueyi sneered, "There's no need for you to worry about this!"

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Can I not worry? Talking to a lotus root every day will seriously affect my aesthetic standards!"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" With a flash, Lin Yueyi entered the small world and returned to the Spirit Spring Lake to continue growing.

Chu Jun shrugged his shoulders and searched the cave once more. He discovered that there were no other treasures. Only then did he return along the path of origin. He discovered that the originally bright daytime passageway had turned black.

Very quickly, Chu Jun arrived at the bottom of the Lunar Phase Heavenly Pit. He raised his head and saw that the scene of light energy disappearing. He tried to soar into the sky and found that the pressure no longer existed. It could be seen that the strange effects in the Lunar Phase Heavenly Pit were caused by the Lunar Coldmoon Divine Stone. Now that he had taken the Lunar Coldmoon Divine Stone away, the phenomenon had disappeared.

Chu Jun soared into the air, and just halfway through his flight, he met Sikong Zhaiyue, Jiang Bin, and the others who had come down to look for him.

When Sikong Zhaiyue saw Chu Jun, she said happily, "Congratulations to His Majesty the World King for returning safely. We were just thinking of going down to search for him!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a little touched. Regardless of whether Sikong Zhaiyue was sincere or showing off, at least he still dared to bring people down to find him even though he knew that the Lunar Phase Heavenly Abyss was extremely dangerous.
