Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Medicine Saint Feng Lei Venerable.

He was not only the founder of the Qingtian Realm's pharmaceutical world, but today's most mainstream alchemy techniques and numerous concoction methods were also of his creation.

At the same time...

He was also a martial arts genius comparable to the likes of Qingyun Sword Saint and Martial God Zhao Wuji.

His Wind Thunder Battle Body, in particular, was the only physique among the top ten Sacred Bodies that could be cultivated through acquired practice.

It ranked ninth among the ten Sacred Bodies.

If Xiao Yi could obtain the heritage of the Wind Thunder Venerable, not only would his strength increase to a new level, but he might even acquire the training method for the Wind Thunder Battle Body, thus gaining the chance to possess a Sacred Body.

More importantly...

The alchemy techniques of the Wind Thunder Venerable and the endless concoction methods would bring immense benefits to Xiao Yi, as well as to the Qing Tian Kingdom.

Of course.

All these premises required that he be able to suppress the Wind Thunder Venerable!

Boom!

A black palm suddenly descended, yet the tomb of the Wind Thunder Venerable also erupted with a terrifying glow.

This radiance was a confluence of purple-gold and cyan.

The cyan wind and the purple-gold lightning intertwined into a storm of wind and rain, with the spectacle of lightning and thunder.

Boom!

The two energies dissipated at the same time.

However, the terrible shockwave blasted open the tomb of the Wind Thunder Venerable, sending a pillar of light soaring into the sky, in which a bronze sarcophagus slowly rose.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

This was the first time he had seen a burial with a sarcophagus in the Ancient Heavenly Tomb.

Even the powerful Qingyun Sword Saint didn't have a sarcophagus!

Crash!

The bronze sarcophagus suddenly trembled, the lid flipped open a crack, and a pale hand thrust out from the dark sarcophagus to fling aside the lid.

Boom!

The lid fiercely smashed towards Xiao Yi.

"Vajra Subdues Demons!"

Xiao Yi threw a punch, as though a Wrathful Vajra had come to life, his body shimmering with golden light, and his heavy punch landed on the lid of the sarcophagus.

Thud!

The lid trembled violently.

Cracks spread across the lid, eventually disintegrating into countless fragments that fell from the sky.

In front of Xiao Yi, numerous bronze fragments fell, and inside the sarcophagus, a breeze blew as lightning condensed into a glowing ball. Atop that lightning, a figure slowly emerged from the sarcophagus, wearing a cyan robe with purple-gold hair and beard, his eyes shining like precious gems.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked as if he was the sole master of this world!

Graceful and unparalleled, Medicine Saint Venerable!

The gem-like eyes of the Wind Thunder Venerable landed on Xiao Yi, "Little fellow, what place is this?"

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi was stunned.

Since he had obtained the Ancient Heavenly Tomb, this was the first one to speak. Xiao Yi bowed to the Wind Thunder Venerable and said, "This junior is Xiao Yi, we are in the Ancient Heavenly Tomb!"

"Ancient Heavenly Tomb? A graveyard?"

The Wind Thunder Venerable was taken aback, looking around in all directions, a hint of astonishment and shock appeared on that usually unflappable face, "Zhao Wuji? The Twin Star Elder... What, what's going on? How are they all dead? How could they be dead? Impossible, this is impossible..."

Wind Thunder Venerable's face was full of bewilderment.

Many of the beings here belonged to the same era as he did, with astonishing talent, suppressing their generation.

Among them, Martial God Zhao Wuji, even stood at the very pinnacle of that brilliant, peerless era where prodigies were as numerous as the ocean.

How could they possibly be dead?

And all buried here?

Wait a moment...

Wind Thunder Venerable looked incredulously at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, my young friend, are you saying that this place is a tomb? Was even I buried here?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Wind Thunder Venerable clasped his hands on his head, his fingernails digging into his scalp as if to pierce through: "How could this be? What exactly happened? Why can't I remember anything at all? Why? What on earth happened?"

Boom!

Rumble!

Ula la...

A burst of purple-gold thunder erupted from Wind Thunder Venerable's body. The thunder lit up the sky, its rumbling deafening. A fierce wind blew, it seemed as though heaven and earth were on the verge of collapse. Inside the Eternal Celestial Tomb, the ground shook violently as chains emerged from beneath the earth, sealing the ancient tombs within.

Not even the wind and thunder could get close to them.

The apocalyptic storm of wind and thunder continued for several breaths before it dispersed, and Wind Thunder Venerable regained his composure. He gazed at Xiao Yi, "Who exactly are you? And why are you here?"

Xiao Yi hesitated, then said, "Senior, I am the master of the Eternal Celestial Tomb, as well as the current Heaven-defending Divine General. I preside over the Eternal Celestial Tomb, and as long as I can subdue the buried powerhouses within these firmaments, I can obtain their true inheritance..."

He had seen records of Wind Thunder Venerable in history books.

This was a being worthy of trust.

It was said...

Wind Thunder Venerable initially focused solely on martial arts, but upon witnessing the suffering of the common people plagued by illness, he embarked on a journey across the world, tasted all herbs, and eventually forged a path in alchemy, benefitting countless lives.

Such a being who for the sake of the common folk tasted all herbs and created the path of alchemy.

Xiao Yi couldn't bear to deceive him.

"To subdue powerhouses and obtain their true inheritance?"

Wind Thunder Venerable was taken aback, speechless. After many breaths, Wind Thunder Venerable firmly said, "Young friend, why do you practice martial arts?"

"Me?"

Xiao Yi frowned, recalling his life's experiences, "At first, I only wanted to prove myself, to have my parents acknowledge my existence. Later, I practiced martial arts to seek revenge, to make those who wronged me pay the price... But now... I want to become stronger in order to better protect those I love and those who love me..."

A flash of insight crossed Wind Thunder Venerable's eyes, as deep as a sea of thunder, and he nodded in satisfaction, "Good, very good! My young friend, I can feel the power of this Eternal Celestial Tomb. You being able to wield such a divine artifact means your future is boundless. I would like to ask a favor of you..."

"Senior, please speak!" Xiao Yi said earnestly.

Wind Thunder Venerable said, "I once crafted a Medicine Canon, but it was incomplete when I left the Qingtian Realm. After I finished it, I was unable to return to the Qingtian Realm. I hope that after you inherit my legacy, you could go to the heavenly realm, find Shennong Valley, and pass my Medicine Canon on to my descendants. Would you be able to do this?"

"Senior, I will do my utmost to fulfill your request!" Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"Good!"

Wind Thunder Venerable smiled and nodded, then his figure suddenly shifted, transforming into a gleam of light that flew into Xiao Yi's brow.

In an instant.

Xiao Yi's body jolted.

The God Sealing Seed within him erupted, covering his body in a black light, and eventually, Wind Thunder Venerable transformed into a statue inside the God Sealing Seed.

An immense amount of information and inheritance deeply imprinted into Xiao Yi's soul.

The Wind Thunder Battle Body Skill, Shennong Medicine Canon, and so on...

This inheritance brought significant benefits to Xiao Yi, as just the numerous alchemical methods and formulas recorded in the Shennong Medicine Canon were enough to make him the theoretically strongest Alchemist in the world, bar none!

As Xiao Yi was assimilating the inheritances, Wind Thunder Venerable's voice sounded in his mind, "My young friend... be extremely wary of Zhao Wuji..."
