Chapter 14153 Successor of the Sea God Palace
But Ling Xiao believed in Ah Li's perseverance; he was confident that the little fox would be able to overcome this challenge.
Ahri has had a tenacious character since childhood, and she will never give up easily no matter how great the difficulties she encounters.
Finally, on the third day at sunset, the setting sun, like blood, dyed the entire ruins of the Sea God Palace with a tragic golden-red hue.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Ling Xiao, gilding his resolute figure with a golden glow.
He stood quietly in front of the stone hall, his gaze fixed on the hall's entrance, waiting for that moment to arrive.
"Roar~~!"
A deep and majestic dragon roar suddenly rose into the sky from inside the stone hall!
The sound was so powerful it seemed to pierce through gold and split rocks, like a sharp sword cutting straight through the sky.
It possessed an unparalleled power that made the entire ruins of the Sea God's Palace tremble.
Even the millennia-old gloom that had shrouded the ruins was briefly dispersed by the powerful roar, revealing the long-lost blue sky.
The dragon's roar carried unparalleled majesty, as if it were the roar of an ancient divine beast, inspiring awe in all who heard it.
It also contains a sense of joy and vitality of new life, as if a giant that has been sleeping for thousands of years has finally awakened at this moment and is ready to meet new challenges.
Hearing the roar, Ling Xiao was overjoyed. He knew that Ah Li had succeeded!
She not only successfully completed the inheritance, but also obtained a portion of the power of the mysterious sea beast, which will be a powerful aid on her future cultivation path.
He excitedly took a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on the gate of the stone palace, waiting for Ah Li to appear.
At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, with only the gradually fading dragon roar echoing in the air.
Ling Xiao's heart raced uncontrollably; he couldn't wait to see Ah Li's familiar yet vibrant figure.
The tightly closed stone door slowly and silently opened inwards amidst the stillness.
The heavy stone door, seemingly a dividing line between history and the future, is now slowly opening, revealing a mysterious and unknown interior.
When the stone gate opened, it made a faint, muffled sound, as if time itself was sighing softly.
A white figure shot out of the hall like an arrow.
Its speed was so fast that it created a whooshing sound, like a white lightning bolt slicing through the air.
She carried a refreshing yet powerful aura, pure and full of strength, like the first breeze in the mountains at dawn, or the hidden, surging waves of the ocean, rushing straight towards the sky.
"Brother Ling!"
The little fox's clear voice was full of excitement, as melodious as a silver bell, echoing in the air.
Her little face was rosy, like a ripe apple, and her eyes were incredibly bright, like two dazzling stars, sparkling with joy and excitement.
Like a joyful little bird, she flew to Ling Xiao's side in an instant, her hands tightly gripping two antique-style rings. The rings were engraved with mysterious and complex patterns, radiating a strong spatial fluctuation, as if hiding endless secrets.
The little fox couldn't wait to stuff the two rings into Ling Xiao's hand, her little mouth chattering like a machine gun: "Look!"
"Left by the patriarch!"
"There are so many treasures inside!"
"I just glanced inside. Those weapons, each one of them radiated a sharp light. Some were chillingly cold, while others were as hot as fire. They were clearly not ordinary!"
"And the cultivation techniques, the words on those pages seem to carry a mysterious power, as if they can make people instantly understand the secrets within!"
"Not to mention martial arts skills, just thinking about learning those powerful moves makes me incredibly excited!"
"There's also a pool of Sea God Jade Marrow!"
"The chalcedony was crystal clear, emitting a soft blue light, just like a fairy spring in a dream!"
"We're getting rich!"
The little fox was so excited that it was incoherent, waving its arms and jumping around, its little face full of "praise me!" expressions. It looked so cute, like a child who had received a favorite toy and couldn't wait to show it off to others.
Beside him, the illusory figure of the man in the green robe who had just floated out of the stone hall was noticeably dimmer than before.
He was like an oil lamp about to burn out, its light growing dimmer and dimmer.
At this moment, seeing his new sect leader "dividing the spoils" like this, the illusory figure's face seemed to twist for a moment, and his originally indifferent expression instantly became somewhat ridiculous.
His aura became erratic, as if he was angered by the little fox's words and was about to lose control. He wanted to say something, but hesitated and could only shake his head helplessly: "..."
Ling Xiao caught a glimpse of the green-robed man's phantom out of the corner of his eye, looking like he was about to "come back to life in anger" but was also helpless. He suppressed a smile, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, but he quickly regained his serious expression.
He quickly put on a serious face, trying his best to look solemn, and then solemnly stuffed the two storage rings back into his sister's hands.
His movements were slow yet firm, as if he were performing an important ritual.
His voice was serious and earnest, each word carrying immense weight: "Ah Li!"
"Nonsense!"
"This is the culmination of the hard work of generations of ancestors of the Sea God Palace, the wealth and wisdom they have accumulated over countless years."
"The senior entrusted these things to you because of their trust and responsibility!"
"These are all yours!"
"I won't touch a single penny of yours!"
"You must keep these safe; they are the foundation for rebuilding your sect!"
"With these, you can restore the Palace of the Sea God to its former glory!"
His words were righteous and resounding, each word carrying an undeniable power.
Upon hearing this, the little fox's initial excitement gradually subsided. She looked at her brother earnestly, nodded vigorously, and her eyes shone with determination.
The previously stiff lines of the green-robed man's illusory figure seemed to soften slightly after hearing Ling Xiao's words and seeing the little fox's gradually calming expression.
The lines that were originally taut, as if being pulled by invisible threads, now slowly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
He slowly floated in front of the little fox. With each step he took, his illusory figure became more transparent, as if a gentle breeze would cause him to vanish into nothingness.
However, even so, his voice carried an unprecedented solemnity and expectation. It was deep and resonant, as if it had traveled through the long river of time, carrying the past glory and honor of the Sea God Palace.
“Child, from this moment on, you are the thirty-seventh sect master of the Sea God Palace.”
The illusory figure in the green robe fixed his gaze on the little fox, his eyes filled with both nostalgia for the past and anticipation for the future. "Throughout my life, I have cultivated myself in this vast ocean, weathering countless storms and experiencing all the vicissitudes of life." (End of Chapter)
