Chapter 1954

After parting ways with Dongfang Shan, Gu Chen and the other two also left the depths of the underground.

They were still within the boundaries of Peidu. As soon as they left the underground and were about to return to the Luo Water Palace, Gu Chen suddenly changed his mind.

"You guys go back first. I need to go somewhere," Gu Chen said.

The Hidden Dragon Clan Leader and Taoist Master Peach Blossom were a little surprised, but seeing that Gu Chen had no intention of explaining, they nodded and went back first.

Gu Chen soared into the sky and flew out of Peidu, a rare look of excitement on his face.

He flew as fast as lightning all the way to the wilderness hundreds of miles away from Peidu. Only then did he stop and suddenly fall down. He cut open the mountain on the spot and burrowed into the belly of the mountain!

After making sure that no one would notice him in this place, Gu Chen flipped his hand and took out the Ancestor's skull from the space within his body!

Just a few days ago, the Ancestor's skull was about to break the seal, so he moved the skull from the Dominating Cauldron of Origin into his body space.

Not long after he finished talking with Dongfang Shan, he clearly felt that the seals that had been placed on the Ancestor's skull were rapidly disintegrating, as if an explosive force was about to gush out of the skull!

Therefore, he left Peidu immediately because he was not sure what would happen next. If the commotion was too big, it would cause the news of the Great Primordial Energy Technique to spread. Then the newly born Peidu Dynasty would definitely be finished, and the Ten Directions Dao Ancestors would come after hearing the news!

When he arrived in the wilderness and placed restrictions around him, Gu Chen finally had nothing to worry about. He looked expectantly at the Ancestor's skull that had spontaneously floated in midair and erupted with a dazzling glow as soon as it left his body space.

The Ancestor's skull, which was originally red and boiling hot, seemed to be about to melt, and the light spot that was originally the size of an egg at the brow bone was like a sun that was about to explode. With just a glance, Gu Chen could feel the monstrous aura contained within it!

This level of aura could only be possessed by the Dao Ancestor who stood at the peak of the Primordial Dao World. Even though the Primordial Ancestor was dead, the pressure he possessed was still far from what an ordinary person could compare to!

Under the influence of the Dao Ancestor level pressure, the golden blood in Gu Chen's body surged spontaneously, emitting a faint domineering aura.

"After so many years, a suitable successor has finally appeared …"

Inside the skull, other than the dao mark fragments of the Great Yuanli Technique's general principles that kept surging out, there was actually something new this time!

It was divine sense!

An incomparably powerful divine sense!

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he sensed the will emanating from the divine consciousness!

The Primordial Ancestor was the belief of all the body-tempering cultivators in the Dao World. Even the combined forces of the Dao Ancestors of the Ten Directions were unable to destroy his physical body. However, his consciousness still remained after so many years!

"My successor, come closer. Let me have a good look at you."

Two balls of soul fire suddenly appeared in the empty eye sockets of the Progenitor's skull. Gu Chen could feel that he was scrutinizing him.

"Greetings, Senior."

Gu Chen approached the skull without batting an eyelid. There was not much fear in his heart.

No matter how powerful the Progenitor had been, he was already dead. Even if he had any backup plans, it would be useless against him.

Gu Chen already had an idea on how to activate the Progenitor's inheritance. It would definitely require extremely harsh conditions. Only when a successor who met the conditions appeared would the Progenitor's backup plan in the skull be revealed.

Gu Chen did not know what the specific conditions were. He only knew that he would definitely not meet the conditions. Otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble to draw out the Progenitor's divine consciousness.

He had cheated by using the special characteristics of the Dominating Cauldron of Origin to forcibly refine the Progenitor's skull and finally get this inheritance out!

Now that the Progenitor's divine consciousness had appeared, there were two possibilities for this divine consciousness.

One was that this divine consciousness had long lost most of its ability to think and only existed to choose a suitable successor.

If this was the case, under the circumstances that Gu Chen had already broken the seal, it would tacitly agree that Gu Chen was a suitable successor and directly impart the Great Yuanli Technique to him.

Gu Chen hoped that this was the case, so he cooperated and obeyed.

There was another possibility, which was more troublesome. Gu Chen did not want that to happen.

Gu Chen walked close enough to the skull. The two balls of soul fire in the Progenitor's eye sockets flickered, and an extremely pure divine consciousness wrapped around Gu Chen.

"Tyrant Clan member! You are not my successor! "

Suddenly, the two balls of soul fire brightened a little. The Progenitor spoke with a voice that was mixed with monstrous anger!

"Tyrant Clan member, how did you do it? How did you open the restriction that I left behind? "

The Progenitor questioned. His voice was hysterical and revealed a strong murderous intent!

Gu Chen could not help but sigh when he felt the other party's anger and murderous intent.

It seemed that things did not go as he wished. There was a second possibility.

The divine consciousness left behind by the Progenitor still had the ability to think. It was even possible that a part of the Progenitor's soul had been left behind!

Gu Chen had once thought that the Progenitor, whose body and soul could not be destroyed even with the combined efforts of the Ten Directions Dao Ancestors, would choose to commit suicide by blowing up his body just because he could not bear the humiliation?

It would not be surprising for a person of this level to leave behind some means of resurrection.

The skull was obviously the Progenitor's last resort. He might not have left the inheritance in the skull to find a successor, but to find a suitable host …

The murderous intent displayed by the Progenitor seemed to have verified one of Gu Chen's bold conjectures, which gave him a slight headache.

If this was the case, it would not be easy to smoothly obtain the Great Yuanli Technique from the Progenitor.

After all, even if the Progenitor's remnant soul was already very weak, it would not be difficult for him to destroy the inheritance of the Great Yuanli Technique.

Moreover, the brow bone obviously contained a very terrifying power. It might be the Progenitor's last resort.

If he could exert even one-tenth of the power he had when he was alive, it would be enough to cause great trouble for Gu Chen!

Gu Chen was glad that he had chosen the right place. If he dealt with the remnant soul of the Progenitor in Peidu, the movement would not be concealed at all.

"Senior, you and I have crossed a long period of time to meet here. It is fate. I am willing to accept your inheritance and avenge you against the Ten Directions Dao Ancestors to comfort your soul in heaven." Gu Chen said without joy or sorrow.

"Fate my ass! You ruined my overall plan. It is already a great gift for me not to kill you! "

The Progenitor immediately roared. He did not have the demeanor of a Dao Ancestor at all. Instead, he was a little flustered and exasperated.

"I have long heard of senior's reputation. Since I was young, I have made a great wish to revive the Yuan School. I vowed to inherit senior's will and avenge senior's hatred. I hope senior can fulfill my wish."

Gu Chen repeated it again in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, as if he had not heard the dirty words.

"What will I need you to inherit? I will take revenge on my own. Don't flatter yourself! "

The Progenitor blurted out. He did not care about Gu Chen's intentions at all. He was simply about to explode.

Gu Chen did not speak. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. The Progenitor was indeed not a descendant who left his mantle to pass on, but a host who was seeking death and resurrection.

It was just that his plan had failed miserably because he had met Gu Chen, who had intercepted his plan.
