Chapter 469: Chapter 464: Taking the Initiative to Pass on the Legacy

Bai Qi was attentively watching Schuck studying several gravestones when he suddenly saw Alpha’s three pets returning, each dragging a sea beast. He couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.

“Are you already done?”

Crackle, crackle.

(Boss, they were too weak, barely put up a fight.)

Alpha threw the Nether Sea Snake he was holding onto the ground. There were no visible signs of a fight, and Jery on the side seemed just as relaxed, proving Alpha’s words.

“These sea creatures are really just big for nothing.”

Bai Qi smacked his lips. The Tiger Hunting Demon Whale and these three guys were all huge, but they were less durable than those smaller ferocious inland beasts.

Now he understood why Xiao Chuanqi was so brazen.

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, the Nether Sea Snake and the other three felt humiliated. They wanted to resist, but remembering Alpha’s monstrous combat power, they obediently lay back down, secretly glaring at Bai Qi with hostile eyes.

Even the Nether Sea Snake, an Emperor Creature, wasn’t a match, how could they King Creatures possibly compete!

When they go back, they must get their father to eat these invaders!

Clop, clop.

(Master, can Gamma eat them?)

After a week of eating sea creatures, Gamma had completely fallen in love with these energy-rich and delicious creatures.

If it weren’t for the lack of a suitable environment in Bai Qi’s three secret realms, Gamma would have planned to capture some to breed.

“Eat them?”

Bai Qi rubbed his chin, scrutinizing the three sea beasts. The Nether Sea Snake and others immediately changed their expressions and quickly put on pleading looks.

What kind of bizarre human is this, who wants to eat them as soon as they meet!

“Let’s not. These sea beasts likely descend from legends, so don’t eat them just yet.”

Bai Qi shook his head under Gamma’s regretful gaze.

Before he came in, Xiao Mu and the thirteen sea beasts were temporarily cooperating. Defeating their offspring was one thing, but killing them was risky, even if they may not care.

Clop, clop…

(Alright then…)

Gamma disappointingly landed on the ground, its originally plump body flattening a bit, but its small eyes were still unconsciously drifting toward the Nether Sea Snake and the others.

Maybe cut off a few pieces of meat and then heal them?

The master wouldn’t notice, right?

…

“Schuck, are you done yet?”

Bai Qi yawned, urging Schuck with some impatience while not far from them, many severely wounded sea beasts laid on the ground.

“I’m done.”

Schuck nodded, carefully pressing a carving on the gravestone, and spiraling vortex suddenly appeared above the monument.

“Is this, an Inheritance Secret Realm?”

The Nether Sea Snake, which was originally laying on the ground pretending to be dead, raised its head at the sight of the vortex, but it was quickly repelled by the black long sword.

Crackle, crackle!

(Stay down, or else, die!)

Alpha held a sword in one hand and glanced at the other few sea beasts. Those who seemed restless immediately lay back down obediently.

They believed that any sign of resistance would make this skeleton into action.

Seeing Alpha alone suppressing over ten sea beasts, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to the vortex.

Inheritance Secret Realm, a secret realm specifically designed to cultivate the younger generation.

And the Secret Realm here undeniably belonged to the Dragon Department.

Furthermore, it probably belonged to the long-lost Eastern Dragon.

“I’ll try first.”

Assisted by Delta, Bai Qi moved to the first vortex and jumped into it.

The expected space transmission didn’t occur, the vortex seemed like a mirage allowing Bai Qi to pass through. If not for Delta’s quick response to catch him, he would have had a nasty fall.

“So it won’t let us pass?”

Bai Qi looked at the vortex with a puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and let the other pets each have a try.

However, without exception, all failed.

“Could there be some kind of requirement?”

“No kidding, the Dragon Emperor’s heritage is obviously left for those with Eastern Dragon bloodline.”

The Cowskin Snake glared disdainfully at Bai Qi, having just recovered from its previous failure.

“Eastern Dragon bloodline?”

Realization dawned on Bai Qi, no wonder neither Alpha nor Wormwood could pass. Crystal Dragon and Green Dragon both belonged to the Western Dragon genre. Although they were all called dragons, in terms of bloodline, they were two completely different creatures.

With this thought in mind, Bai Qi abruptly grabbed the Cowskin Snake and threw it toward the vortex.

Boom!

The Cowskin Snake crashed heavily to the ground, still unable to pass through the vortex.

“No Dragon Bloodline huh…”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, and discarded some possibilities in his mind, instead focusing his attention on the nearby Nether Sea Snake.

“You, give it a try.”

“Me?”

The joy came so suddenly, the Nether Sea Snake stammered, unresponsive, until Alpha started to urge it. It then reluctantly got up under the envious gazes of other sea beasts and went straight for the vortex.

This time, unlike Bai Qi, the Nether Sea Snake didn’t just pass through, it disappeared directly into the vortex.

Next, before Bai Qi could express his surprise, the Nether Sea Snake emerged again. Its size had increased slightly compared to before, and two small bumps had appeared on its head.

“Hahaha .. this truly is Dragon Clan heritage!”

The Nether Sea Snake, whose bloodline had advanced, regained its past arrogance and superiority, raised its head and let out a long roar. Just as it was about to pick a fight with Bai Qi and the others for past grievances, it suddenly felt a cold touch on the back of its neck, a familiar sensation seeping into its mind.

Click, click.

(You’re too noisy.)

“I was wrong!”

The Nether Sea Snake immediately quieted down and obediently lay low.

“Tell us, what’s inside the Inheritance Secret Realm?”

Bai Qi walked to the front of the Nether Sea Snake and asked.

The Nether Sea Snake had only been inside for a mere second, but experienced such a significant change, naturally, he was a bit curious.

“I’m not very sure. I felt like swimming upstream in a river, then suddenly, I was out.”

After reminiscing for a moment, the Nether Sea Snake briefly described its experiences.

“Swimming in the river? Fish leaping over the Dragon’s Gate?”

Bai Qi smacked his lips and thought of the most reasonable explanation. Meanwhile, Schuck had removed the remaining vortexes, leaving only the eighth monument still inactive.

As was customary, Bai Qi had several beasts try in succession, but they still had no luck.

“Damn it, if I had known, I would’ve asked Old Lady Fan for some Dragon’s Blood in advance.”

Bai Qi looked regretfully at the seven monuments before him.

This was seven Inheritance Secret Realms! If they just gave up now, it would be a huge loss.

“Alpha, you guys try and see if you can haul it back. We could always sell it to the Association and exchange some resources.”

Bai Qi clenched his teeth, not willing to give up yet.

After all, Schuck had already checked. There was nothing under these tombstones. In short, these tombstones were merely the entrances to the Inheritance Secret Realms.

Click, click.

(Understood!)

Alpha nodded its head, then it led the charge in moving the tombstones. The other beasts followed suit.

“Impossible, these tombstones and the secret realm are bundled together. Unless you take the whole secret realm… What! The tombstones moved?!”

The Nether Sea Snake was about to explain to Bai Qi but was shocked to find that Alpha and the others had indeed moved some of the tombstones.

However, they didn’t just pull them out, but moved them in different directions.

“So they can be moved?”

Bai Qi’s eyebrows raised as he continued to instruct the Six Pets to move the seven tombstones to new positions.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

There was a crisp sound and then the seven monuments began to shake violently. Following a certain rule, they started to move. After a long while, they finally stopped.

At the same time, the previously motionless eighth stone monument also started to move and, after a severe shake, revealed its true fiery red color.

“So that’s how it is. The other seven tombstones are merely keys. This is the core.”

Bai Qi flashed a grin and rushed to the red monument.

Compared to the other monuments, the patterns on the fiery red monument were far clearer. You could clearly see a giant red dragon suspended in the air.

The left half of the dragon was bathed in light, while the right half was shrouded in darkness.

Looking up, it seemed the dragon’s skull was missing. You couldn’t really see clearly.

“Cowskin Snake, do you know what kind of dragon this is?”

Bai Qi dragged the Cowskin Snake to the monument and asked.

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen the Dragon Emperor make a contract with such a dragon.”

The Cowskin Snake shook its head, looking a bit low. It had finally finally an opportunity to prove itself, but it knew absolutely nothing. Even it was doubting its own abilities.

“Forget it. I knew I couldn’t rely on you.”

Bai Qi tossed the Cowskin Snake aside casually and pressed his hand against the monument, carefully sensing it.

If this stone was also an Inheritance Secret Realm, then his Breaking the Void talent, which he didn’t know about yet, should be effective. Maybe this time it would be his turn.

Unfortunately, no matter how much spirit Bai Qi channeled, the red tombstone remained still.

“Let’s dig it out together with the surrounding soil and take it back for a closer study.”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

“Leave it to me.”

Upon hearing this, Delta transformed into the Fierce Dragon Beast. With a powerful stomp, the earth around the monument immediately split from the surrounding area.

“You’re even going to scrape away the ground?”

The Nether Sea Snake looked startled. No wonder his father was always saying that humans were greedy. He was right!

Regrettably, the Nether Sea Snake wanted to prevent them, but when he thought of Alpha’s terrifying power, he could only swallow his objections.

But just as Delta transformed into the Diamond Ape and was about to lift up the slab of ground, a huge vortex suddenly appeared on the red monument.

“Damn it, it suddenly got activated?”

Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled when he saw this. As he was about to try it out, he found that Delta had uncontrollably drifted towards the vortex and directly entered the secret realm.

“Is this… pro-active inheritance?”

The Nether Sea Snake was a bit surprised. Judging from the previous tombstones, Bai Qi’s pets didn’t have dragon bloodline. They didn’t even have the opportunity to enter the Inheritance Secret Realm, let alone proactive inheritance.

Now, the most mysterious monument showed a response to Delta. What kind of magical operation was this?

Could it be that this monument did not confer dragon heritage?
