Chapter 307: The Five Saints' Eggs and the Inheritance Realm

Chapter 307: The Five Saints' Eggs and the Inheritance Realm

"Hahahaha! Haha!"

On the wall, the Rong family emblem, still recording that was still recording that voice:

"Rong family member Su Ping, having gained my approval, is granted a Snake Saint's Egg!"

Over and over again, Rong Bao repeatedly listened to the imprint on the Rong family emblem.

He laughed heartily.

"Not bad, with this, the Rong family members will have no resistance to this little guy obtaining a Five Saints' Egg. The others won't have anything to say either."

The Snake Ancestor beside him nodded, but it was clear that he, who had personally sensed Su Ping's unique connection with snakes, was not too surprised by this outcome.

"Spring's spirit can finally rest in peace."

Rong Bao seemed to have lifted a thousand-pound burden, and his mind suddenly felt several times lighter.

After all, although he had been in control of the Rong family for many years, he was still under a lot of pressure to allow an outsider to obtain a Five Saints' Egg.

But now, regardless, Su Ping had gained the Snake Saint's approval, which meant this Snake Saint's Egg had gained a legitimate status. Not only Su Ping himself, but the pressure he faced had also suddenly decreased.

The Snake Ancestor understood Rong Bao's thoughts and also thought about it.

"I wonder which snake pet egg this year's Snake Saint's Egg came from?"

The Five Saints' Eggs were created by the Five Saints' Souls using the power of the Five Saints' Secret Realm to transform and evolve the eggs of the Five Toxins pets. This was the biggest secret of the Five Saints' Secret Realm and the Rong family's foundation.

"I'm not sure, but it seems that the quality of the eggs this year is quite good, and the potential for a Holy Spirit-level race should be fine."

Rong Bao shook his head.

Historically, there had been accidents with the Rong family's Five Saints' Eggs, such as when the born pet's race failed to reach the Holy Spirit-level.

This was because the quality of the pet eggs transformed by the Five Saints' Secret Realm was not up to standard.

However, historically, there had only been a few such cases, and the probability was low, so there was no need to worry.

"Haha, this kid has already gained the Snake Saint's approval. I wonder who it is, is it like me, a descendant of the Green King Snake?"

Rong Bao's eyebrows furrowed, and the Snake Ancestor beside him also frowned.

"What's going on? Once someone is approved by the Five Saints' Souls in the Secret Realm, the hanging paintings outside the realm that bear the breath of the Five Saints' Souls will also give feedback, intertwining with the approved Rong family member's family emblem, making it impossible to forge or cheat!"

But now, why weren't there any lit family emblems?

Could it be that something happened within the secret realm?" Rong Bao asked, his doubts evident.

But that didn't make sense. After all these years, there hadn't been any issues, and this task required neither significant consumption nor technical expertise. For the Five Saints' Souls, this faint connection was merely a drop in the ocean.

So, what was going on? Rong Bao and the Snake Ancestor waited for a while, but there was no response.

It was as if the illuminated Spider Saint's image was fake.

Finally, Rong Bao thought for a moment and once again focused his mental energy on Su Ping's family emblem. It wasn't that Rong Bao believed Su Ping had gained the Spider Saint's approval; he simply wanted to check if there was an issue with the family emblem's imprint.

Rong Bao wanted to sense the emblem that had been illuminated by the Snake Saint's approval.

As soon as Rong Bao's mental energy touched the emblem, he froze.

Not only Rong Bao, but even the Snake Ancestor beside him, was stunned.

At that moment, under the activation of the mental energy, a voice completely different from before resonated within Su Ping's family emblem, echoing throughout the Rong Family Ancestral Hall and its surroundings.

"Rong Family descendant Su Ping, having gained my approval, is granted the Spider Saint's Egg!"

Rong Bao looked at the Snake Ancestor with confusion.

"Snake Ancestor, did I hear that correctly?"

The Spider Saint? Not the Snake Saint? The Snake Ancestor glanced at him with his triangular face, also looking doubtful.

It was impossible for them to have misheard, and the same went for the other Rong Family members outside.

"What's going on?"

Didn't Su Ping already receive the Snake Saint's approval? What was happening now?

In the history of the Five Saints' Sacred Realm, such a precedent had never occurred!

The Five Saints' Souls were interconnected, and they were the true spirits within the realm. It could be said that if one had something to convey to the others, it would only take a thought.

Therefore, once one received approval, the other Four Saints' Souls would not grant the same gift to the same person again.

This had always been the case, regardless of the exceptional Rong Family descendants. Such an occurrence had never happened before, which was why Rong Bao didn't initially consider this possibility.

But what was this nonsense?

Rong Bao and the Snake Saint stared at each other, and the entire Rong Family was shaken by this unprecedented situation.

However, Su Ping, who was still in the secret realm, paid no heed to this astonishing event. He also didn't rush to take the purple Spider Saint's Egg that appeared before him.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of Rong Mang, Rong Cheng, and the others, Su Ping closed his eyes.

The Five Saints' Souls were interconnected, and perhaps the Snake Saint's Soul had already informed the Spider Saint about Su Ping and Xiao Qing. After sensing their auras, the Spider Saint made the same choice!

The Spider Saint's Egg was an object of envy, jealousy, and hatred for others, but for Su Ping, the most important thing was the vision he received.

Indeed, it was the same vision as before.

The only difference was the sequence of events.

In the vision granted by the Spider Saint, the extremely handsome man in ancient attire hadn't opened the strange spatial vortex yet. Instead, he was flying slowly from the sky, and as he flew, he spoke:

"I wish to head north, seeking a chance to break into the legendary realm. This journey north is perilous, so I must leave my legacy in the Nanzhao Kingdom. If a descendant of mine gains your approval in the future, they may come here and open it! Remember, this place is at the peak of the Nanzhao Kingdom's Elm Ridge.

It was my place of adventure in my youth, and I later sealed it with a special method. Only by using my secret technique can one reopen this broken world and obtain my legacy!"

Just as expected.

The Spider Saint's Egg was indeed the same as the Snake Saint's Egg.

The only difference in this vision was the absence of the scene within the secret realm, as shown in the Snake Saint's vision. Therefore, Su Ping didn't see the opening of the cave again.

It seemed that only a Beastmaster approved by the Five Saints' Sacred Realm could obtain the complete story.

In this vision, although a location was mentioned, opening this so-called legacy required the approval of the other Five Saints' Souls.

However, was the place mentioned the Dianzang Region?

Who knew what it was called now, after so many years? The landscape could change drastically due to the presence of powerful Companion Beasts. Although the legacy of the Five Saints' Sacred Realm seemed to be anchored in space, such changes might not affect it.

But if the spatial anchor couldn't be found, it would be a challenging task.

Shaking his head, Su Ping opened his eyes and bowed to the Spider Saint's Soul before him. Then, he turned his attention to the purple spider egg.

Another one? In truth, Su Ping didn't particularly care about this egg.

However, seeing the others' envious gazes, Su Ping raised his eyebrows and slowly extended his hand, taking the egg into his palm.

Compared to the previous red 'Red Devil' Snake Saint's Egg, this purple Spider Saint's Egg felt cold, like a lifeless dead egg.

Su Ping thought for a moment and then used the True Eye to examine the purple Spider Saint's Egg before him.

As expected, just like the Red Devil Egg, the feedback from the purple Spider Saint's Egg appeared in Su Ping's vision:

【Venomous Dark Spider Egg】

【Current Level: None】

【Race Level: Unknown】

Hmm, compared to that so-called Red Devil from before, this so-called Venomous Dark Spider is much clearer. It's a pure poison-type spider-like companion beast.

Simple and straightforward.

Similarly, after collecting the Spider Saint's Egg, Su Ping patted Xiao Qing's head and glanced at the others.

"Su Ping! How did you do it?"

Rong Cheng finally couldn't hold back and questioned him.

Su Ping shot him a glance.

Within the grand family, the Rong family members from his mother's lineage were undoubtedly Su Ping's close relatives, blood relatives with strong family ties. However, although these people also carried the Rong surname, they were distant relatives outside the five degrees of mourning, and it was already good enough if they weren't enemies.

"What? Is my talent not good enough? This is personally acknowledged by the Snake Saint and the Spider Saint. If you don't believe it, go ask those two Five Saints Souls!"

Su Ping shrugged and didn't bother to pay any more attention to him. He remounted Xiao Qing's back and, under everyone's gaze, approached his eldest cousin, Rong Mang.

"Let's go, cousin. To the next place!"

"Again?"

Rong Mang's face was filled with helplessness.

But at this moment, what could he say? Moreover, he also wanted to see for himself what Su Ping's limits were and how he had accomplished such a miraculous feat.

As they exited the Ten Thousand Spiders Nest, following behind Su Ping, there was not just Rong Mang.

At this moment, all the Rong family members who had been inside the Ten Thousand Spiders Nest also came out.

The resources within the secret realm were not significant, and even the slightly wealthier branches of the family wouldn't pay much attention to them.

At this time, they naturally wanted to see what Su Ping was up to.

And soon, they found out.

Thousand-Foot Valley.

Not far from the Ten Thousand Spiders Nest.

Both were located in this area of continuous small hills.

The so-called Thousand-Foot Valley was naturally the home of the Centipede Saint, one of the Five Toxins.

Speaking of which, when he had just graduated from Jianghai, that good-for-nothing director had found some connections with companies and wanted him to sign a soul-binding contract. The conditions and temptations offered were for a Scythe Giant Centipede.

And at this moment, there were a few of these creatures in the Thousand-Foot Valley.

However, there weren't many of them, only a handful, because the Scythe Giant Centipedes had body lengths exceeding ten meters, making them quite large. Consequently, they required a relatively larger amount of food.

Although the abundant resources in the Five Saints' Sacred Realm could support this, it wasn't worth raising these creatures with weak toxins, especially since they were primarily gold-type beasts.

Compared to the warm, humid, and sunlit Green Snake Forest, the Ten Thousand Spiders Nest was dark, cold, and constricted, with an eerie atmosphere.

The Thousand-Foot Valley, on the other hand, was relatively better, combining both aspects. It was humid but also quite cold, with little sunlight.

However, the area for activities was still quite spacious.

Similarly, there were also a few Rong family members here.

However, compared to the previous Green Snake Forest and Ten Thousand Spiders Nest, there were fewer people here. It wasn't because fewer Rong family members had chosen to come to the Centipede Saint's Egg location; instead, it was because after a few hours, the Rong family members who had arrived had learned of their situation and decided to leave with the companion beast eggs they had obtained.

Or they had already started their return journey or were searching for resources in other parts of the Five Saints' Sacred Realm, making their trip worthwhile.

Su Ping didn't pay them any mind. Under everyone's scrutinizing gaze, he fearlessly approached the black-red centipede statue.

If he didn't know that this statue couldn't harm him and had no ill intentions towards the Rong family members, he would have felt a bit nervous standing beneath it and looking at it.

All the pets of the Five Toxins were fierce and intimidating to human beastmasters.

Fortunately,

Compared to the hoarse voice of the Snake Saint's Soul and the delicate voice of the Spider Saint's Soul, the Centipede Saint's Soul had a gentle tone that none of the others possessed.

Contrasting with the massive and hideous statue, the blood-red light flashing from its thousand feet gave off its thousand legs, Su Ping felt a slight sense of relief.

And as expected.

As long as Xiao Qing was by his side and the aura of the Green Demon Spring Ginseng continued to envelop him, perhaps they had already communicated internally, and the Five Saints Souls, having established a connection, wouldn't let him down.

After the usual inquiries, the Centipede Saint's Soul quickly transmitted an image.

This image was a continuation of the previous one, showing a man in ancient clothing standing atop a mountain peak, exhaling and then speaking:

"..."

Su Ping's brows furrowed as he witnessed this scene.

At this moment, the man was speaking not in the language of the Dragon Nation but in Snake Language!

Snake Language!

And there was a lot of it.

Su Ping quickly closed his eyes and re-entered the image he had sensed through his soul, carefully listening to the man's words.

Naturally, it wasn't like before, where he could just glance at it like a 3D movie, remembering the key words.

"Six directions, six elements, universe, yellow, I make light light, dark dark, empty empty, illusion illusion..."

What nonsense.

Su Ping felt his head spinning after deciphering just a few dozen words.

What would it feel like to speak a spell in Snake Language? Su Ping was feeling it at this moment.

Is this not a spell? As it turned out, it seemed like it was.

And at this moment, with Su Ping's abilities, it wasn't just that he couldn't understand all the Snake Language words spoken by the man in the image in one go, but even fully comprehending it was a bit too much for his mental endurance.

As mentioned earlier, the study of Serpent Script, its use, listening, and even speaking require spiritual power.

Previously, Su Ping learned a portion of Serpent Script writing through Xue Hongluan's Secret Realm diary, but speaking it was still difficult. The attempt to communicate with the Green Demon Spring Ginseng was proof of that.

Apparently, wanting to learn so many Serpent Script incantations, and then, like the figure in the scene, said it out without blushing or panting, the required spiritual power realm is absolutely not the current Su Ping's meager spiritual power.

Su Ping was a bit helpless.

However, he put aside the idea of immediately understanding these Serpent Script incantations and adjusted himself to movie-watching mode.

As it turned out, not drilling into the details was the right thing to do.

Because in the scene, this figure spoke for a full three minutes.

Most importantly, after three minutes, the figure showed no signs of stopping.

The reason for stopping was purely because the image conveyed by the Spider Saint's Soul ended there.

Apparently, this Serpent Script 'incantation' couldn't even be fully spoken in a single scene.

Su Ping opened his eyes speechlessly, and as expected, a white egg, slightly smaller than the previous two, appeared before Su Ping's eyes.

While Su Ping carefully studied the image in his mind, the Spider Saint's statue also lit up with a black-red glow, and the voice that made everyone silent echoed in everyone's ears.

Still, it was that sentence that made all the Rong family members despair:

"Rong family member Su Ping, having gained my acknowledgment, I bestow upon you the Spider Saint's Egg!"

Despair.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with despair, even Rong Mang felt strange.

This cousin of theirs was too incredible.

He was so amazing that they didn't know what to do.

In just ten minutes, many of the Rong family members who had come with great fervor to watch alongside Su Ping had already left.

Even Rong Cheng was among them.

The Su Ping they saw now made them feel despair.

But what could they do?

Go against the command of the Five Saints' Souls?

That was clearly impossible.

Question Su Ping's qualification to enter the Five Saints' Sacred Realm? That didn't make sense either, as Su Ping, no matter what, had half of the Rong family bloodline.

Although he was an outsider, the Rong family was no longer the same as it was years ago.

Many people knew, many didn't, but the fact was that if it were twenty years ago, whether Su Ping's father, associated with the Ghost Saint, had any connection to this Five Saints' Sacred Realm, was still unknown.

Whether it was a matter for Rong family members to participate or for all eligible Poison Beastmasters in Dragon Nation to compete for, was still uncertain.

Su Ping came with such an identity, and no one could point out any issues.

So, after witnessing this scene, some people left.

Su Ping didn't mind, and with nothing better to do, he turned his True Eye gaze towards the white Spider Saint's Egg:

【Frostwing Dragon Egg】

【Current Level: None】

【Race Level: Unknown】

Frostwing Dragon?

Dragon is another name for centipede, naturally unrelated to the Dragon and Giant Dragon clans.

It seems to be a Poison and Ice-based centipede companion beast?

This time, Su Ping didn't even bother to carefully experience the feel of this thing and directly bowed to the Spider Saint's statue, collected the white egg, and then turned to leave, leading the silent Rong Qiu, and said:

"Cousin, what's the nearest place from here?"

"Scorpion Tail Cave!"

"Hmm, is it the territory of the Scorpion Saint clan?"

On this journey, only a few of the remaining Rong family members who still didn't believe in evil followed.

But in the end, the result remained unchanged.

Before the towering yellow scorpion statue with its huge scorpion tail stinger, a green Scorpion Saint's Egg was handed to Su Ping.

And this time, the image conveyed by the Scorpion Saint, together with the previous Spider Saint's image, perfectly connected to form a complete picture.

From the complex Serpent Script incantation, it continued for a few minutes.

Su Ping was obviously too lazy to continue studying this incantation and decided to slowly research it after returning to the Beast Taming Heart.

It's estimated that to unlock this so-called inheritance site, he would need time to slowly study it.

After the figure in the image finished muttering, the world suddenly changed.

A slowly forming massive spatial vortex appeared in the image.

Then, it gradually transformed into the first image Su Ping received from the Snake Saint's Soul, which could be perfectly pieced together with the current image.

It seemed that only one more image was missing.

And this image should be the last of the five images.

Su Ping revealed a smile, then looked at the green Scorpion Saint's Egg.

【Green Thunder Bamboo Centipede Egg】

【Current Level: None】

【Race Level: Unknown】

Green Thunder Bamboo Centipede?

A Thunder and Wood-based Five Saints' Egg? Does it also have Poison?

But speaking of it, it seems that the produced Five Saints' Eggs don't necessarily have to be Poison-based.

Thunder, one of the three attributes outside the Five Elements, and compared to Wind, Ice, and Thunder, its power is even greater, making it a high-level attribute sought after by many.

Indeed, it's worthy of being a Five Saints' Egg, as even such precious attribute companion beasts can be born.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Su Ping once again tossed the item into his Beast Taming Realm.

"The last one seems to be the Five-Colored Pond of the Toad Saint, right? Let's go!"

Su Ping waved to his numb cousin.

Rong Mang was truly stunned, and now he wasn't just numb, but also a bit flustered.

If his cousin were to claim all the Eggs of the Five Saints, what would he do?

There was nothing he could do. Even if Rong Mang had no solution, the rule still stood—the owner of the Eggs of the Five Saints, acknowledged by the Five Saints' Souls, had the authority to make any arrangement regarding the eggs, and not even the clan leader could interfere!

This was the clan's rule for hundreds of years!

The problem was, if that were the case, Rong Mang originally thought that the Egg of the Five Saints he had pinned his hopes on would be gone.

However, just disappear?

However, just as they were about to head towards the Five-Colored Pond, Su Ping suddenly asked:

"Cousin, does the owner of the Eggs of the Five Saints, acknowledged by the Five Saints' Souls, have the authority to make any arrangements regarding the Eggs?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Mang froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, that's the rule in the Rong family. Although we don't have a Holy Spirit Beastmaster now, the Snake Ancestor is here, and such rules naturally won't change!"

Su Ping nodded:

"That's good, which one do you prefer among these Eggs of the Five Saints?"

"Huh... What?"

Rong Mang blinked.

"You take one, your cousin and sister will take one, and if Aunt wants one, she can have it too. I'll just take the Egg of the Snake Saint, and you guys can divide the rest later!"

Su Ping wasn't stingy at all.

He had never been a stingy person, and besides, these were the Rong family's Eggs of the Five Saints. He was an outsider, not bearing the Rong surname.

Taking them all would be too much, but leaving some behind wouldn't be right either. He wouldn't leave them to his little cousin Rong Chan or his pretentious cousin Rong Zhu. Both of them had been good to him.

Su Ping wasn't particularly interested in the previous resources that made his mouth water. Instead, he focused on the divine tree that occasionally appeared in the images.

At this moment, he could confirm with certainty that the divine tree in the images was indeed the first one from the two paintings given to him by the Green Demon Spring Ginseng.

As expected.

After confirming this, Su Ping finally snapped back to his senses.

It had to be said that the owner of this secret realm indeed had many good things.

Su Ping hadn't heard of some of the Holy Spirit-level resources, but most importantly, the inheritance introduced two things.

One of them was a super-tier skill, or rather, the so-called Extreme Dao Mystic Technique in that era.

However, the lack of a name left Su Ping a bit helpless. He still wanted to see if this super-tier skill had already been deciphered.

The other one was worth mentioning.

It was the meditation technique of the secret realm's owner.

The meditation technique seemed valuable, but at least for now, Su Ping didn't feel anything special about it.

After a glance, he didn't pay it much mind and returned his consciousness to reality, taking one last look at the Toad Saint's Egg:

[Eclipsed Toad Egg]



[Current Level: None]



[Race Level: Unknown]



Eclipsed Toad?

Su Ping couldn't find anything about it in his mind, so he didn't think much about it and placed it in his Beast Taming Realm.

Then, Su Ping didn't rush to leave. Instead, he looked at the Toad Saint's statue and communicated mentally, asking the last question he wanted to ask:

"Toad Saint Senior, I've received your inheritance and the secret realm's owner's legacy. May I ask what makes it worthy of the Five Saints' acknowledgment?"

Although the existence of the Green Demon Spring Ginseng was the best explanation, Su Ping still wanted to ask. For hundreds of years, none of the Rong family's descendants had met the conditions. What was it?

The Toad Saint's ethereal voice answered:

"The ancestor's will is that only the potential heir who can reach the Legendary Beastmaster rank is qualified to inherit his legacy..."

Su Ping opened his eyes, stunned.

Although this answer wasn't unexpected, it left Su Ping dazed for a moment.

Legendary rank?

He didn't ask further but continued to respectfully bow to the Toad Saint's statue. Then, with his spirit restored, he, the big cousin, headed towards the exit of the Five Saints' secret realm.

Speaking of which, the Five Saints' Souls acknowledged five times.

I wonder if there's any reaction outside?

With this thought in mind, Su Ping, looking at the spatial vortex at the exit, put away Xiao Qing and strolled out.
