This old bastard.
Qin Chen was already cursing internally. Fortunately, the poisonous gas and melting flames were too terrifying, and he stopped in time. Otherwise, if he had approached that withered bone, he would have no idea what accidents might occur.
Qin Chen had completely given up the idea of obtaining the inheritance of the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable. If it were just a slight oddity, it might be his overthinking, but now that there were continuous odd occurrences, Qin Chen really suspected that this Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable was up to no good.
Qin Chen immediately released a hint of his cultivation aura, saying, "Senior, although I possess a decent soul secret technique, my cultivation is indeed too low. It seems that I am fated to be unable to obtain your inheritance. When my strength improves in the future, I will come back to accept your inheritance. Please rest assured, I will definitely come as soon as possible."
After saying this, Qin Chen prepared to turn and leave. He no longer wanted to stay here; that withered bone definitely had ill intentions.
"Your cultivation is indeed a bit too low."
The Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable fell silent for a moment. Seeing Qin Chen was about to leave, he immediately said, "What you think is indeed difficult to completely withstand the power of this poisonous gas and melting flames, but you don't need to hurry to leave. I have another way to let you come over."
"What way?"
Qin Chen could only stop and ask.
Although he was eager to leave, he also knew that he absolutely could not panic at this moment. If the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable detected his thoughts, that would be dangerous.
Since he had already come to the place of inheritance of the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable, and this great power had set up such a terrifying secret realm in the Void Tidal Sea, Qin Chen dared not be certain if he had other methods to deal with him.
"I am known as the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable, so naturally, I possess a technique to resist and cultivate with myriad poisons. This technique is called the Art of Myriad Poisons. I can now impart it to you. With your comprehension, as long as you cultivate a little, you will be able to adapt to the poisonous gas and melting flames here and resist all kinds of poisons. At that time, you can come over."
"What?
The Art of Myriad Poisons, capable of absorbing the power of poisonous gas?
Resisting all poisons in the world?"
"That's right. This technique is the foundation of my dominance over the world. Originally, I planned to teach it to you after you passed the test and became my disciple, but it seems I must impart it to you now."
Before Qin Chen could say anything, a cold power descended, and a strange and obscure technique suddenly appeared in his mind.
Qin Chen's heart sank. The other party could directly present the technique in his mind, which was truly terrifying. Could it really just be achieved by a single consciousness?
In this case, wouldn't it be very simple for the other party to deal with him?
What shocked Qin Chen even more was that this was his first encounter with the other party's consciousness power, but when the two merged, he instantly sensed a hint of darkness within the other party's consciousness.
This faint power was extremely thin, and an ordinary person would be completely unaware of it. However, Qin Chen had dealt with dark powers too often, and the Origin Book had also condensed a hint of dark power’s Legacy, which allowed him to perceive this incredibly weak trace of dark power's aura.
How could there be dark power within the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable?
Hadn't this person perished when the Heavenly Realm collapsed?
Qin Chen's heart turned completely cold. He had already made up his mind; no matter what the other party's intentions were, it was obvious that they wanted him to approach that withered corpse.
The other party had not yet used their means, which likely meant they could not act until he reached that withered bone.
This suggests that their technique might indeed be effective.
