Chapter 1308 It was hasty; I shouldn't have called him!
"Oh?"
Despite the exaggeration the other party was making, Jiang Han remained unmoved: "If that's the case, fellow Daoist, just go in. Why bother telling me all this?"
Just kidding. If that place were truly the strongest inheritance of Xuandao Mountain, the other party would probably be fully prepared and rush in to seize the inheritance the moment they discovered it. Why would they kindly tell him these things?
Are they afraid of having too few competitors?
Of course not. There must be some limitations they themselves faced, which forced the other side to seek outside help.
"To be honest, there is a reason why I have come to see you, fellow Daoist."
Gu Chenyin sighed softly, "At the entrance to that inheritance site, there is a guardian spirit. Only by defeating it can the entrance be opened completely, allowing us to enter."
Jiang Han nodded: "So, fellow Daoists, you are not a match for that spirit body?"
Gu Chenyin was a little embarrassed: "Not bad."
“My cultivation is not as good as yours, fellow Daoist, so I’m afraid it will be even more difficult for me to deal with that person.”
"No."
Gu Chenyin explained, "The so-called inheritance is not about hiding in a dark and sunless place to lure people to their deaths, but about selecting a suitable successor."
"The strength of the guardian spirit changes according to the challenger's realm fluctuations, but no matter how it changes, it will only be one realm higher than the challenger."
"We tested him when we first met him. He was very strong, ridiculously strong. He not only had several top-grade true spirit treasures, but also many powerful supernatural abilities. When they fought, he would throw his supernatural abilities and magical treasures at people like he didn't care about his life."
Neither Yun Fengzhu nor I were a match for him. When we sent our junior brother, who had a lower cultivation level, he was also easily defeated.
However, if Fellow Daoist Jiang is willing to make a move, there might be some chance.
His voice carried a hint of resentment, but his words were truly sincere.
Although it's only a minor realm higher, if it were someone else, they simply couldn't beat them, and they might not be able to overcome it even if they spent their entire lives.
But for Jiang Han, it was just a small leap in realm, which was a piece of cake.
After all, the other party had beaten Chen Zhou, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, into a half-crippled state right in front of him.
Dealing with a mere spirit should be a piece of cake for me now.
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Han with some anticipation and continued, "Of course, if you are willing to help, you will naturally receive your share of the benefits."
“I can persuade Yun Fengzhu to invite you and Fellow Daoist Meng to come with us to explore the inside. We will each rely on our own abilities to find the treasures.”
"In addition, the guardian once said that whoever can defeat him can choose a reward from him, which could be one of the top-grade true spirit treasures or one of the supernatural powers he has mastered."
A supreme spiritual treasure! Supernatural powers! And the chance to enter the Land of Inheritance!
Jiang Han was slightly moved. Each of these three items was an extremely precious treasure, especially the True Spirit Treasure and the Divine Power Technique. If he could obtain them, they would greatly enhance his strength.
Not to mention, you can also find out the exact location of the treasure land and gain the qualification to enter it.
However, while the rewards are generous, the dangers involved are naturally extremely great.
Jiang Han asked, "How strong is that spirit? How many moves did Fellow Daoist Gu exchange with it?"
Mentioning this, Gu Chenyin couldn't help but sigh:
"To be honest, I only exchanged three blows with that spirit..."
"Of course, it's not that I'm not strong enough. Yun Fengzhu was also watching from the sidelines, which prevented me from going all out. But according to my estimation, even if I went all out, I wouldn't last more than six moves."
At this point, Gu Chenyin's expression became much more serious:
"I must also remind you, fellow Daoist, that when that spirit made its move, every single one of its techniques was an extremely powerful divine ability. Even if I tried my best to block it five or six times, I could only be defeated in the end."
"The only way to defeat him is with overwhelming strength; otherwise, no one can defeat him here."
Every move and stance is a supernatural power; no wonder they consider it the strongest inheritance.
Moreover, this is merely the spirit guarding the entrance; the true guardians of this treasure land are likely far stronger than anyone can imagine.
Jiang Han nodded slowly, having already gained some understanding of this place.
The danger is immense, but the allure is equally strong. This treasure, passed down through generations, is likely to be the most abundant in history.
"Well, fellow Daoist, are you willing to lend a hand?"
Gu Chenyin's face showed a hint of anticipation. Apart from Jiang Han, they really couldn't find anyone else to deal with that spirit.
If all else fails, the only option is to spread the word and pool everyone's resources to see if they can break through the limits of that spirit and try to forcefully destroy it.
Of course, this method is too risky. If something goes wrong, even if they work together, they won't be able to reach the limits of the spirit, and they will all perish there.
Unless it's a last resort, no one would agree to do that.
Jiang Han pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, but we'll have to wait a while."
Yun Fengzhu was a member of the Holy Sect, and Jiang Han had always harbored some inexplicable thoughts about him. With Yun Fengzhu present, Jiang Han naturally had to be extremely vigilant.
Even with Senior Brother Meng accompanying us, we must always be prepared for a sneak attack by the Holy Sect.
Moreover, now that he has the treasure furnace in hand, all those materials have a purpose. He wants to take advantage of this time to work with the sword spirit to refine some true spirit treasures and improve his own strength.
In this way, even if the Holy Sect has any designs on him or sets up some ambush, he will still have the strength to fight back.
“This is easy to discuss. When you are ready to leave, just come and find me here.”
Gu Chenyin said with some excitement.
With Jiang Han around, their chances of success increased to over 70%. He was willing to wait three to five years, let alone just a few days.
As long as he can enter the treasure land and obtain its inheritance, his future path of cultivation will be smooth sailing.
But the excitement on Gu Chenyin's face suddenly froze the next moment.
Wait a minute, Jiang Han is the chosen one. According to the common tropes in storybooks, wherever there is a chosen one, all the treasures will be taken by him, and no matter how high their cultivation level is, they can only be used as supporting characters...
Upon hearing this thought, a hint of resentment appeared in Gu Chenyin's eyes.
Alright, no wonder he ran into this place; it turns out this treasure trove was prepared for Jiang Han.
He wondered why he could only look but not enter, and why there was a gatekeeper spirit restricting him. It turned out he was just a minor character who delivered messages.
