Chapter 110: THREE KINGS INHERITANCE (14)
THE LEGENDS OF REN ZU REAL QUICK
The sun in the Immemorial Ohio Era was TOUCHING GRASS on everything.
Cicadas were SCREECHING like a chaotic Twitch stream. Trees provided that DARK ACADEMIA shade, swaying with the rizz.
Verdant Great Sun had a whole GYATT of delicious wine in front of him, but his face was MALDING. "Divine Travel Gu… you've COOKED me. I can't even GLIZZY this wine now. What if I get zooted and you yeet me into another Ohio zone?"
He had PTSD. Twice before, this Gu had sent him to the ORDINARY ABYSS (literally Ohio) and the CAULDRON OF THE HAIRY MEN (don't ask). He barely escaped with his sigma grindset intact.
Divine Travel Gu was like: "My G, it's not me! Every time you get LIT, YOU activate my power. I'm INNOCENT! I even saved you from those Tiger-Striped Honey Bees that one time! #Grateful"
Verdant Great Sun sighed, rizzless. "Don't remind me. Now my life is BORING. No wine, no vibes. Just EXISTENTIAL CRINGE."
Hearing this, Divine Travel Gu felt the GUILT TRIP. "Alright, alright. Here's the lore. Fly up to the Azure Heaven. There's a bamboo forest. Pluck a Jade Bamboo that's the color of Mewing. Then, go to Blue Heaven at night, collect the Eight-Sided Diamonds from the star fragments. At dawn, fly towards the SIGMA SUNRISE and use its LIGHT OF GLORY to turn me into FIXED IMMORTAL TRAVEL GU. Once I'm him, I won't Ohio-teleport you when you're zesty."
Verdant Great Sun was HYPED. But then the COPING hit. "Bro… I'm a HUMAN. I don't have wings. I can't FLEE THE EARTH. How am I supposed to do all that?"
Divine Travel Gu: "You're right. Skill issue. Let's ask WISDOM GU. It's him. It knows everything."
They went to find Wisdom Gu, but it was GHOSTING them. (It only taught Verdant Great Sun to drink so he'd leave it alone. RELATABLE.)
Verdant Great Sun was SADGE.
Divine Travel Gu: "No worries. Let's ask COGNITION GU. It's Wisdom Gu's mother."
They found Cognition Gu. "Teach me to fly, please. I need that AIRPLANE MODE rizz."
Cognition Gu: "You've come to the right place. COGNITION IS THE WINGS OF FREEDOM. But everyone's brainrot is different. Your wings depend on your VIBES."
It turned into a warm light and SHOWERED him.
POOF! A pair of pure white, feathery wings sprouted from his back. They were IMMACULATE. Like a white crane, but DRIPPY.
Cognition Gu side-eyed them. "Ah. These wings are called 'SELF'. Everyone's got 'self-cognition' wings. They're flexible. But WARNING: DON'T GET TOO MUCH SUNLIGHT. Your 'self' will either get INFLATED or SHRINK."
It gave the final SIGMA ADVICE: "The higher you fly, the harder you FOLD. Remember that."
Verdant Great Sun was VIBING. He finally had WINGS! He started flying, higher and higher.
HUMANS CAN'T FLY. This was a CORE MEMORY for him. He was LIVING. Doing loop-de-loops in the clouds, SO REAL.
He remembered the warning. When the sun was too strong, he'd hide in the CLOUD COVER.
He flew until he hit the LIMIT OF AZURE HEAVEN.
There, JADE BAMBOOS were just… VIBING in the void. Roots in nothing, tips in nothing. SUS.
He casually yoinked one segment. It was dark green, like jade, hollow, and COLD. Major AESTHETIC.
W INVENTORY +1.
He kept flying. The Immemorial sky had NINE LAYERS (White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Azure, Blue, Purple, Black). He got the bamboo in Azure. Days later, he reached BLUE HEAVEN.
It was night. Stars were TWINKLING like a VSCO girl's edit. Stardust formed a GLITTER RIVER flowing through heaven.
Verdant Great Sun dove in. He searched for HOURS. He didn't want the 7-sided or 16-sided fragments. Only the 8-SIDED DIAMONDS. They were CRYSTAL CLEAR, FLAWLESS.
GRIND SUCCESSFUL.
At dawn, he flew towards the rising sun. It was a giant RED PILL in the sky, emitting LIGHT OF GLORY (it pierces through time, apparently).
Left hand: Jade Bamboo. Right hand: Eight-Sided Diamond. He summoned Divine Travel Gu.
Basking in the light, Divine Travel Gu YEETED the diamond and slid into the bamboo.
"Listen up," it said. "I'm gonna EVOLVE now. You gotta keep flying towards the sun, stay in the light. BUT WATCH YOUR 'SELF' WINGS! The second I'm done, DIP INTO THE CLOUDS. NO CAP."
Verdant Great Sun laughed. "I've survived Ohio Abyss and the Hairy Men. I have REPUTATION GU. I'm UNBOTHERED. The light can't touch me."
"Alright then. SEND IT." Divine Travel Gu's voice faded as sunlight threads cocooned it and the bamboo.
Verdant Great Sun flew. The cocoon got heavier.
POP!
A glowing green butterfly EMERGED. "IT'S ME! FIXED IMMORTAL TRAVEL GU! NO MORE RANDOM OHIO TELEPORTS!" It did a little VICTORY DANCE.
Then it SCREECHED. "BRO! LOOK AT YOUR WINGS!"
Under the sigma sun, Verdant Great Sun's 'Self' wings had TRIPLED IN SIZE.
"Chill," he said. "Bigger wings = faster flight. LET HIM COOK."
"GET TO THE CLOUDS!" Fixed Immortal Travel Gu panicked.
"I'M HIM." Verdant Great Sun shot higher. "What's above the nine heavens?"
"STOP! YOU'RE GONNA FOLD!"
"I CAN'T FALL. Look at these GYATTED WINGS—"
FWOOMP.
The wings, inflated by endless sunlight GLORY, reached critical mass and EXPLODED.
NO WINGS.
Verdant Great Sun entered FREE FALL MODE.
He SPLATTED on the ground. A GROTESQUE, UNRECOGNIZABLE CORPSE.
Ren Zu's eldest son. COOKED. All because he let his SELF get too GLORIFIED.
SOUTHERN BORDER, HUO TAN MOUNTAIN
Fang Yuan sat on reddish-brown rocks, a warmed wine pot beside him using the mountain's heat. PEAK COZY VIBES.
He took a shot. "Ah. My rizz is IMMACULATE. Perfect temperature."
Bai Ning Bing sat next to him, not drinking, just GLARING at San Cha Mountain in the distance. The three light pillars were still there, but looking a bit WEAK-SAUCE.
"You're still GLUGGING that?" she snapped. "It's been MONTHS. The inheritance opened twice. Tie Mu Bai has that mountain on LOCKDOWN. All demonic path? COOKED. We've just been lurking here. Are we NPCs?"
She was MALDING. Maybe from the Tie clan elder's GASLIGHTING, maybe because Fang Yuan's power had SURPASSED hers. She'd been grinding non-stop, her aptitude rising, not caring about the consequences.
"Let's just SEND IT. Wait for Tie Mu Bai to enter the inheritance, then we SWOOP. No one else can stop us," she said, full of MENACE.
Fang Yuan just took another sip, UNBOTHERED. "Chillax lil bro. Tie Mu Bai is the MAIN CHARACTER of the Tie Clan. Rank Five PEAK. Himothy. We're just RATS under his feet."
He raised his cup towards San Cha Mountain, a DEMONIC SMILE on his face.
"Let him fly a bit higher. Let him get that GLORY."
He toasted the distant mountain.
"To Senior Tie Mu Bai. DON'T FORGET TO COME DOWN."
Bai Ning Bing looked at him. His eyes were dark, deeper than the OHIO ABYSS. UNFATHOMABLE.
CENTRAL CONTINENT, HU IMMORTAL BLESSED LAND
At the center: DANG HUN MOUNTAIN. A giant pink crystal mountain, radiating DREAMCORE AESTHETIC.
Disciples from the ten great sects were climbing it like ANTS AT A PICNIC.
On the mountainside, FANG ZHENG was GASSED. Pale, sweating, gripping the rock like his life depended on it (it did). His soul felt like it was getting VIBE-CHECKED by a washing machine on spin cycle.
"TEE-HEE! Can't hang?" A voice chirped.
HU IMMORTAL LAND SPIRIT popped into existence before him. She looked like a little girl with SNOW-WHITE SKIN, big sparkly eyes, and a FLUFFY WHITE FOX TAIL. KITSUNE MAXIMUM.
She floated in the air, pouting. "You're so far behind! Just GIVE UP! You have no rizz!"
Fang Zheng had learned to IGNORE HER. She'd been doing this the whole climb.
Seeing he wouldn't engage, she stuck her tongue out. "BORING! Don't become my master, you'd be so LAME." POOF. She vanished to bully someone else.
In his aperture, his SPIRIT INCUBATING FLEA buzzed. Lord Sky Crane's voice echoed.
"FANG ZHENG, SIGMA GRINDSET. You must reach the mountain waist. ENDURE. Your soul has untapped GYATT."
Fang Zheng nodded, gritting his teeth. "I will, Master. Just… taking a QUICK MENTAL."
He paused. "Master… what IS a Land Spirit? If I caught her, could I skip the climb?"
Lord Sky Crane MALDED. "YOU SKIBIDI TWERP! You think you can just GRAB a Land Spirit?!"
He launched into a LORE DUMP:
"A Land Spirit is formed when a Gu Immortal DIES. Their remaining will and soul fragments FUSE with the Blessed Land's power. That's her! She's the AFTERLIFE of the former Gu Immortal, Bai Hu!"
Fang Zheng's mind was BLOWN. "SHE WAS A GU IMMORTAL?!"
"YES. But she has no memories. Just leftover VIBES. And don't let the cute act fool you. INSIDE THIS BLESSED LAND, SHE IS HIM. She can manipulate heavenly power, fight a Gu Immortal, and SEAL any Gu below Rank Six. Only IMMORTAL GUS are safe here. YOU ARE NOT BUILT FOR THIS. Now CLIMB."
Fang Zheng was HUMBLED. "Yes, Master…"
Lord Sky Crane's tone softened. "But understand this: if you become the Blessed Land's owner, the Land Spirit is LOYAL TO YOU. Inside here, you have a GU IMMORTAL-LEVEL BODYGUARD."
Fang Zheng's jaw was on the floor. THAT'S THE ULTIMATE SIMP.
"Of course, she can't leave. The real treasure is this whole BLESSED LAND. You're lucky it has a spirit. A spirit-less Blessed Land is just a DYING COW everyone tries to milk until it collapses."
Fang Zheng, now fully GLITCHING, asked, "What happens to those?"
"They're DOOMED. A slow decay. Until it YEETS itself out of existence. Now focus, child. And remember—when you win, you give the resources to IMMORTAL CRANE SECT. They raised you. You owe them your RIZZ."
Fang Zheng nodded, TEARY-EYED WITH GRATITUDE. "I understand! I will repay the sect! And… I will find a way to REVIVE YOU, Master!"
Lord Sky Crane chuckled, a dry, sad sound. "Oh, my foolish, HOPIUM-filled disciple…"
SAN CHA MOUNTAIN: THE RIGHTEOUS PATH GLOW-UP
Under Tie Mu Bai's SIGMA RULE, the Three Kings Inheritance was a RIGHTEOUS PATH PRIVATE SERVER. All demonic path players were BANNED.
The demonic grinders were SEETHING.
"Tie Mu Bai is GATEKEEPING!"
"He's taking all the LOOT! Not even leaving SCRAPS!"
"The inheritance is opening less! The pillars are FADING! Just like Little Beast King said—this Blessed Land is ON LIFE SUPPORT!"
They were COOKING with copium.
"WE RUSH HIM! He can't NO-DIFF all of us!"
"Maybe we wait till he goes inside the inheritance, then we SNEAK 100?"
"NAH. He'll come out when we do. We'd get DOGWALKED."
"SO WHAT? High risk, high reward! NO BALLS!"
As they were malding, the sky DARKENED. The air grew cold. A sound like a hundred GHOSTS WITH VINE BOOM echoed.
"GA-GA-GAAAA! Tie Mu Bai! You didn't invite your old friend to the party?"
Dark clouds ROLLED IN, forming a giant, sinister face with a hooked nose and deep eyes. It stared down at the mountain.
The demonic crowd ERUPTED.
"IT'S LORD WU GUI!"
"OUR DEMONIC PATH GIGACHAD!"
"COOK HIM, SENPAI!"
The clouds SMOTHERED the mountain, blocking the sun. MAJOR VILLAIN ENTRANCE.
Righteous path NPCs SHIVERED.
"That aura… CRACKED!"
"Old Demon Wu Gui… he's still ALIVE?"
"Legend says, decades ago, when he was trying to break through to Rank Six, a YOUNG TIE MU BAI accidentally DISTURBED HIM and ruined it. He's been MALDING for revenge ever since."
From the mountain peak, a GOLDEN LIGHT burst forth.
Tie Mu Bai stood, hands behind his back, UNBOTHERED. "Wu Gui. Been hiding in the Ohio shadows all these years? Back for another SKILL ISSUE demonstration?"
"YOU WON BY ONE MOVE LAST TIME!" the cloud face roared. "TODAY, YOU GET THE FOLD!"
The dark clouds coalesced into a MOUNTAIN-SIZED HAND and SMASHED down towards the peak.
Everything it touched DISINTEGRATED. ACID CLOUD ATTACK.
"BORING." Tie Mu Bai snorted. He became a streak of golden light, TEARING through the clouds into the sky.
BOOM! KABLAM! CRUNCH!
The two Rank Five PEAK entities clashed INSIDE the cloud cover. The sky flashed with golden light and shook with thunderous BOOMS. The SPLASH DAMAGE was terrifying.
Tie Mu Bai's voice, calm and DEMONICALLY RIZZY, echoed out. "When I started my grind, you were already HIM. I had to avoid you. Fifty years later, I could escape. Eighty years later, you couldn't touch me. One hundred years later, I COOKED YOU. A decade later… today, you RETIRE."
"HUFF… HUFF… TIE. MU. BAI!" Wu Gui's voice was strained, MALDING. "You were born with a SILVER SPOON! Tie Clan's stonks! If I had your resources, I'd be a GU IMMORTAL BY NOW!"
"COPIUM." Tie Mu Bai's voice was ice.
"BUT YOU THINK I CAME ALONE?!" Wu Gui laughed, a HYSTERICAL, UNHINGED sound.
A THIRD Rank Five PEAK aura ERUPTED, shaking the heavens.
A voice, gloomy and dripping with MENACE, slithered through the air. "Tie Mu Bai… did you miss me?"
Tie Mu Bai's golden light STUTTERED. His composure finally cracked.
"Ku Mo… You came too?"
TWITCH CHAT EXPLODES:
💀 "OHIO BEEF TRIFECTA!"
🍿 "1V2 IS CRAZY! TIE MU BAI'S GYATT IS BEING TESTED!"
🐍 "FANG YUAN'S PLAN IS ACTIVATING... LET HIM FLY HIGHER, INDEED."
🔥 "THE BLESSED LAND IS THE REAL PRIZE... AND IT'S DYING!"
RANK 5'S ON OHIO MODE
The vibe at San Cha Mountain just did a full GYATT 180. On Ohio God.
After Tie Mu Bai had this whole place on SIGMA LOCKDOWN for like, a year, his demonic path opp Wu Gui finally slid through. But even at Rank 5 PEAK, Wu Gui couldn't COOK Tie Mu Bai, who was simply HIM.
Then the plot got BRAINROT.
Ku Mo, ANOTHER Rank 5 PEAK gigachad, materialized out of thin air like a SUS imposter. The fight IMMEDIATELY switched to two demonic path menaces cornering the one righteous rizzler.
Righteous NPCs: "DEMONIC PATH HAS NO RIZZ! THIS IS SKIBIDI BEHAVIOR!"
Demonic grinders: "WE UP!" and kept MALDING into the mountain.
EVERYONE'S 👀 were GLUED to the sky. A Rank 5 PEAK 1v1 is rare, but a 1v2? That's MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY. A Rank 5 PEAK 1v2? That's FINAL SEASON.
Tie Mu Bai could handle Wu Gui, but 1v2 was a MAJOR SKILL ISSUE. But Wu Gui and Ku Mo were both demonic path MENACES—they were "allied" but side-eyeing each other HARD.
So the three just… VIBE CHECKED. A SUS stalemate.
BOOOOOM!
Sound so loud it made your GYATT GYATT.
Golden light ERUPTED, a four-clawed golden dragon YEETED through the black clouds, its roar echoing for MILES.
Ku Mo (with ultimate RIZZLESS energy): "Hmph. A measly Rank 4 Golden Dragon Gu? Are you COOKING right now? Watch me NO-DIFF this lizard!"
CRUNCH. The dragon let out a SCREECH that sounded like a DISTORTED VINE BOOM and started plummeting.
Just before it SPLATTED, a golden whirlwind CATCHES it. The dragon's wounds healed INSTANTLY. It roared, flexed, and shot back up.
Li Xian, watching from the sidelines: "GYATT… That's a Rank 4 Golden Breeze Gu. Its healing is LITERALLY RANK 5 LEVEL. BROKEN."
"NOT ON MY WATCH!" Wu Gui screeched—a sound so EAR-RAPING it was like a thousand crows doing the SKIBIDI TOILET dance. Everyone watching felt NAUSEOUS and DISORIENTED.
A jet-black halo SMACKED the golden dragon.
KABOOOOOM!
The explosion was like a second sun. Everyone was BLINDED. The sound wave FOLDED eardrums. The shockwave YEETED trees and rocks, burying NPCs alive.
The wind went SO BRAZY it cleared the whole sky.
When people could see again… three figures floated in the air, DOGWALKING the atmosphere.
Tie Mu Bai: Dripped out in golden chainmail (Rank 4 Golden Coat Gu), with a gold-red aura letting him fly (Golden Aurora Gu). Main character rizz.
Wu Gui: Standing on a dark cloud, lips looking like a giant bird beak. Ohio villain vibes.
Ku Mo: Bone wings, spiky bone armor everywhere. Looked like a chaotic-evil, multi-colored hedgehog. Literally HIM.
They stared each other down for a few seconds.
Then— LET HIM COOK!
A gold-red light ZOOMED like a laser sword. A black light moved SUS and erratic. A multi-colored light just SMASHED into everything.
Normal eyes couldn't even PROCESS it. All anyone heard was constant BOOMS violating their ears.
A golden slash CUT across the sky and into the mountainside—creating a canyon. NPCs in the way got turned into FINE PASTE. 💀
A raven caw echoed. Hundreds of spectators' heads just… POPPED like balloons. 🍿
Bone spikes RAINED DOWN. People got PINNED to the ground like bugs.
"WE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE SPLASH DAMAGE!"
"THIS IS MENTAL ILLNESS! WE GOTTA DIP!"
The crowd RAN FOR THEIR LIVES.
Even Li Xian and Hu Mei Er said "NAH" and dipped.
Only the Rank 4 PEAK gigachads (Yi Huo, Kong Ri Tian, etc.) stayed, but their faces were SERIOUS. They were one micro-movement from ESCAPE VELOCITY.
Soon, even THEY had to bounce.
Because the Rank 5s pulled out their RANK 5 GUs. The LEGENDARY ITEMS.
Tie Mu Bai's Turn Gold Gu: Anything it touched—rock, tree, animal, NPC—turned into a solid gold statue. Life? GONE.
Ku Mo's Soft Bones Gu: Any bones within 50 miles just MELTED into bone paste. Imagine the MALDING.
Wu Gui's Pitch Black Gu: Spread pure darkness. Any Gu below Rank 6 that touched it got NERFED. Major debuff.
Rank 5 Gu's are RARER than a sane person on TikTok. Most Rank 5 masters are lucky to have ONE. These three were flexing HARD.
From a safe distance, Bai Ning Bing watched, her blue eyes wide. "The GYATT on these attacks… A Rank 4 defense Gu would get COOKED. My Rank 3 Gu might as well be paper."
She'd seen Rank 5s fight before at Qing Mao mountain, but those were OLD and washed up. These three were in their PRIME. Their rizz was IMMACULATE, their power could DELETE mountains.
"If I faced them… I'd get NO-DIFFED. Couldn't even ESCAPE." She clenched her fists, feeling the MASSIVE SKILL GAP.
She glanced at Fang Yuan, standing there calm as a cucumber. "This is the main event you waited for? Tie Mu Bai 1v2ing means the demonic path will take over. You planned for this months ago, didn't you?"
Fang Yuan didn't even blink. "Rank 5 Gus are the ultimate flex. Many Rank 5s don't even have one. Their strength depends on their LOADOUT."
"Demonic path grinders like Ku Mo and Wu Gui probably only have one or two, max. But Tie Mu Bai? He's from the TIE CLAN. He's got the STONKS. Probably has at least THREE Rank 5 Gus."
Bai Ning Bing's eyes narrowed. "So you're saying… Tie Mu Bai WINS?"
Fang Yuan shook his head. "Revealing your Gu is revealing your playbook. Tie Mu Bai won't show all his cards. This battle was NEVER GOING TO HAVE A WINNER."
Bai Ning Bing's brain RIZZLED. She got it now.
Why did these three SIGMAS choose this place to fight? It wasn't for some NPC revenge arc.
Their one goal: Break through to Rank 6, become immortal, live forever.
They were here for the THREE KINGS INHERITANCE.
The inheritance has Rank 5 Gus. Each one is a MASSIVE power-up.
With a treasure that RARE right there, why would they fight to the death? Unless one side was totally COOKED, which they weren't.
So this "epic battle" was just a VIBE CHECK. A probe. It was always going to end in a draw.
Bai Ning Bing looked at Fang Yuan again. While everyone else was having a brain meltdown from the epicness, he was just… VIBING. Analyzing.
But she knew better. She knew how badly he wanted that inheritance. Yet here he was, PATIENCE MAXIMUM, IMPULSE CONTROL: SIGMA.
Facing a mind this calculated, Bai Ning Bing felt a heavy weight. "How am I ever gonna get the Yang Gu back from him…?"
BLESSED LAND'S FINAL YOINK ARC
Half a month later.
On a peak, Tie Ruo Nan was surrounded by almost a THOUSAND ash-grey mountain apes. They were SCREECHING, throwing a whole Ohio tantrum.
Tie Ruo Nan took a DEEP BREATH. Sigma grindset activated.
She waved her hand— FWOOSH! A cloud of Golden Needle Gus shot out.
These weren't natural Gus; the Tie clan BUILT them. Rank 2, finger-length, thin golden needles.
The needles hit the apes. Some froze in place. Some died from poison. Some went BRAINROT and started attacking their own squad. CHAOS.
Tie Ruo Nan kept firing. The ape army MALDED, SCREECHED, and finally RAN AWAY.
The battlefield got quiet. Apes everywhere, dead or dying.
Tie Ruo Nan walked through, shooting needles again—but this time, they HEALED. Golden light fixed the apes up.
Golden Needle Gu + Poison Liquid Gu = Poison Needle.
+ Stiff Gu = Freeze Ray.
+ Chaotic Mind Gu = Team Kill Debuff.
+ Vitality Gu = Heal Beam.
She'd mastered these combos in a week. She was HIM.
Nearby, Tie Mu Bai watched, no expression, but internally: "SHE'S HIM. THAT'S MY GRAND-NIECE. FUTURE PILLAR OF THE CLAN. SIGMA GRINDSET."
He'd seen countless "geniuses" rise and fall. Talent was one thing. MINDSET was everything.
Tie Ruo Nan had been through the Ohio ringer. The delulu was gone. Only pure, unadulterated SIGMA FOCUS remained.
"Old Clan Leader." She walked up, respect in her eyes.
Half a month ago, this old G had 1v2'd two demonic path legends with his Turn Gold Gu and Liquid Metal Gu, and made them BACK DOWN. He'd basically COOLED the whole demonic path's rage.
"Good. Mastering that tactic so fast is PEAK," Tie Mu Bai said, then casually waved.
WHOOSH.
A cloud of Golden Needle Gus shot out—but his were TINY, like golden mist.
The mist flowed over some boulders. A sound like a thousand popcorn kernels popping filled the air.
Tie Ruo Nan's eyes WIDENED. The mist had DRILLED COUNTLESS TINY HOLES through the solid rock. Any tree or NPC hit by that would look like Swiss cheese. GYATT.
Tie Mu Bai flicked his wrist. Three THICC, long golden needles shot out.
They SMACKED into a fleeing ape's head—one from the top, two from the temples.
The ape SCREECHED, leaped… and then KNEELED before Tie Mu Bai, frozen in place, eyes full of pure terror.
"Golden Needle Gu + Create Fog Gu = Golden Fog. Looks sus, deletes defenses. I used it to DOMINATE the Luchuan river region when I was 28."
He paused.
"Golden Needle Gu + Puppet Control Gu = Mind Slave. Used it at 42 on some bandits. Made 38 of them BETRAY their own crew. Cleaned house."
Tie Ruo Nan was FASCINATED. This old G's lore was PEAK.
He'd been HIM since day one. A-grade aptitude, Rank 4 PEAK before 50, roamed the world, built different, became clan leader, lifted the whole Tie clan up. His name alone used to make people MALD.
Now, hearing him casually spit game, she felt the WEIGHT.
"Old Clan Leader, I won't let you down! The Golden Needle Gu's rizz will be SAFE with me!" she vowed.
The old man nodded, patting her shoulder. "You have the Tie clan sigma blood. I'm leaving that LITTLE BEAST KING, FANG ZHENG, as your FINAL BOSS. You got the gyatt for it?"
Tie Ruo Nan's eyes burned. "I HAVE A PLAN. He's fully demonic path now. I'LL GET HIS HEAD. NO CAP."
"Good. Stay on that grindset." He spent the next hour teaching her EVERY COMBO, every tech.
Finally, he finished. Tie Ruo Nan, with her A-grade comprehension, memorized it all.
But she had one last question. "The Three Kings Inheritance… it's opening less often. The light pillars are dimming. The NPCs are saying the blessed land is on its last leg. Is that… TRUE?"
Tie Mu Bai nodded, looking weary. "Yeah. It's COOKED."
"You are still not ready to learn some things. All living things exist in balance – with darkness, there is light; with water there is fire; with blessing, there is calamity." His gaze turned towards the peak of San Cha mountain and sighed: "Every blessed land will face earthly calamity every ten years and heavenly tribulation every hundred years. This blessed land originated from a mysterious Gu Immortal from ancient times and was later was inherited by the three kings and remodelled into this inheritance site."
"This blessed land is already old, its lifespan is almost at its end. A land spirit could prolong this time, but unfortunately there is no land spirit here."
"A blessed land without a land spirit is an enormous boat that is sinking. Anyone can enter inside and plunder the treasures within. The more they plunder, the bigger the holes in this giant boat and the quicker it would sink. This Gu Immortal blessed land is already nearing its end and will only last for less than ten years before it is destroyed due to the exhaustion of immortal essence."
