"How is this possible? How can Lin Changqing's speed be so much faster than mine?" At this moment, the Fourth Prince was completely despondent. He hadn't expected Lin Changqing to be so much faster. He had hoped to reach the inner sanctum of the Inheritance Palace first, but now it seemed utterly impossible!
Lin Changqing's speed allowed him to reach the front with a single shift. Now, the Fourth Prince had absolutely no hope of reaching the inner sanctum of the Inheritance Palace first, which meant his chances of seizing the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art were practically zero.
After all, in a fair competition, he was no match for Lin Changqing. He had pinned his hopes on reaching the inner sanctum of the Inheritance Palace first to receive the inheritance, but now it seemed that this idea was about to be shattered!
"No, I can't give up! Obtaining the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art is the only way I can defeat Lin Changqing. I must find a way to obtain the inheritance," the Fourth Prince said through gritted teeth. He used all his spiritual power to accelerate towards the inner sanctum of the Inheritance Palace. As things stood, the Fourth Prince had no other choice. If he couldn't obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, the gap between him and Lin Changqing would only widen further, and he would have no hope of defeating Lin Changqing for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the Fourth Prince had to go all out now. He was determined to obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art and would not give up!
[The Fourth Prince is desperately chasing after you. With the Kun Peng Heavenly Art, you leave him far behind and reach the inner sanctum of the Inheritance Palace first. This is a huge white jade palace. You enter it, and inside are bronze statues everywhere, each three zhang tall, like statues of gods. For example, the first statue in the row on your left is surrounded by flames, like a flame god, and on the right is a golden-armored giant holding a giant sword, like a heavenly soldier.]
"Interesting, these god statues have appeared inside the Inheritance Palace, what does this mean?" Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes, looking at the bronze statues in front of him. For some reason, he always felt that these bronze statues had a fatal attraction to him. After hesitating for a moment, he tried to reach out to the flame god statue in the first row on the left.
The moment he touched it, the flame god statue erupted with flames, gradually forming a phantom of a flame figure. The flame figure looked at Lin Changqing and said, "Inheritor, congratulations on being the first to reach the Inheritance Palace. In the past, Sun Wukong fought against the gods of the Heavenly Court, battling many immortals. Sun Wukong is the Spiritual Stone Monkey, one of the Four Stone Monkeys, and has a super strong talent for learning. After a series of battles with the gods, he mastered the divine abilities of the Heavenly Court gods and immortals. These bronze statues are all derived from the divine abilities that Sun Wukong learned from the Heavenly Court immortals."
"When you touch these bronze statues, you will be able to learn the divine abilities of the immortals and gods that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven understood back then."
[Hearing this, you are very pleasantly surprised. Before even obtaining the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, you have already received a considerable appetizer. You are thoughtful, the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court are all in the Immortal Realm, and their divine abilities are also very powerful, now they are all on these bronze statues, which means that you have the opportunity to learn the divine abilities of the immortals and gods collected by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.]
"This move is called Crimson Fire Sky Blade, and it is a divine ability that Sun Wukong learned from someone named the Fire God of the Sky Blade. Now I will pass it on to you," the flame god statue said majestically. Then, he pointed his fingertip forward, and a flame rune appeared.
Lin Changqing accepted the flame rune.
In an instant, Lin Changqing felt a flame rune appear in his dantian, and he had a multi-layered understanding of flames.
"Crimson Fire Sky Blade is indeed extraordinary, this is at least a Golden Immortal level immortal divine ability," Lin Changqing said with joy. He pointed his finger forward, and a three-foot-long flame blade appeared beside him. This flame blade seemed to gather the flame energy of the world, and the air even burned as soon as it appeared, looking extremely powerful!
"Not bad, not bad, if I learn all the divine abilities of these bronze statues, my combat power will increase a lot, and I can also have dozens more Immortal King Body phenomena," Lin Changqing said happily. He glanced forward and saw that there were about twenty bronze statues, which meant that if he touched them all, he could learn twenty or thirty more immortal divine abilities, and most importantly, he could transform these divine abilities into Immortal King Body phenomena again.
Previously, he had 50 kinds of Immortal King phenomena, which was already on par with the phenomena of the Great Sun Immortal Venerable. Now, if he learns all these divine abilities, then he will have more than 70 kinds, which can already be said to far exceed the Great Sun Immortal Venerable.
[After learning the flame divine ability, you touched the golden blade giant statue next to it. This is a metal attribute divine ability, you learned it. Next, you walked forward again. This bronze statue is surrounded by black mist, this is a demonic sect divine ability, named Swallowing Heaven Demon Array, after learning it, you can set up a kind of Swallowing Heaven Demon Array formation. When set up, the sky will be filled with black smoke that can kill many powerful enemies.]
[Next, you touched all the twenty-odd bronze statues at an extremely fast speed. You added twenty-odd more Immortal King Body phenomena. Finally, you walked to the very center of the Inheritance Palace, where there is the largest bronze statue, it is a huge stone monkey, its eyes carrying incomparable majesty, its whole body golden, wearing golden armor, holding a heaven-swallowing, earth-destroying golden rod in its hand.]
"Is this the bronze statue of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong? I learned divine abilities by touching those bronze statues before, now if I touch this one, I should get the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, right?" Lin Changqing's eyes were filled with anticipation. He could only say that the benefits he had obtained from entering the Inheritance Palace this time were too great. The twenty-odd kinds of immortal divine abilities had greatly enhanced his strength, and if he could obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, then this trip would be complete.
Lin Changqing slowly reached out his hand, but just as his hand was about to touch the stone monkey statue, it was suddenly shaken away by a force. That force came from the bronze statue itself, it was the effect of the statue.
"What's going on?" Lin Changqing frowned. He had learned divine abilities very easily before, as long as he touched the bronze statue with his hand, he could automatically learn it, but this stone monkey bronze statue seemed to be different, he was actually rejected when he touched it.
"Could it be because of this gap? Must I wait for the Fourth Prince to come?" Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes. He keenly noticed that there was a circular gap at the bottom of this stone monkey bronze statue. He took out the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant and tried it, and it could just fill in nearly half of it, which meant that if the Fourth Prince's Yin-Yang Jade Pendant was combined with it, it could just block the circular gap.
"It seems that I must wait for the Fourth Prince to arrive. After his Yin-Yang Jade Pendant is combined with mine to block this circular gap, the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art can officially begin to be inherited," Lin Changqing thought with a frown. He didn't expect that he would have to wait for the Fourth Prince.
He had previously used the Kun Peng Heavenly Art to leave the Fourth Prince far behind and entered the Inheritance Palace alone, monopolizing the benefits ahead.
Now the stone monkey statue needs the Fourth Prince's jade pendant, and he doesn't know if the situation has changed.
