“Don’t worry. I have no bad intention,” reassured the old ape warmly.
How would Lin Xun not be worried? The old ape had to be terrifyingly strong if even the golden-winged dapeng and the giant serpent were scared away.
The old ape only wanted to talk yet he was constantly being interrupted. A jade centipede rushed over, as though unwilling to leave. It was determined to seize the great treasures from Lin Xun. With a deafening roar, it soared up into the sky.
Rumble~
Its jade-like body was covered with frightening dao light, and it was exuding a fierce and threatening might.
The old ape frowned, truly infuriated. He no longer held back anymore.
With a stretch of his hand, he grabbed the several meter long centipede and tore it into two!
Blood jetted out like a waterfall, while anguished wailing reverberated throughout the world before it stopped abruptly.
The old ape indifferently tossed the two parts of the centipede to the ground like garbage, as though he had done nothing unusual.
A terrifying creature that was no weaker than any Life Death Stage King was killed without any effort!
Those paying close attention to that side fell deathly silent. They were soaked in cold sweat and retreated constantly.
Even the butterfly the size of a palm leaf fan and the extraordinary azure fox were deterred by the old ape’s power and fled into the distance.
“I have been living in seclusion for too long, and I haven’t killed in many years so I can’t control my powers too well. To be honest, I didn’t intend to take its life. After all, it’s not merciful to kill,” the old ape patiently explained.
His words left everyone speechless. The old ape looked like a decisive and fierce person, so how would he possibly show mercy?
Lin Xun didn’t expose him, nor did he dare to do so.
The old ape was too unfathomable. He didn’t have the guts to dare to provoke him for no reason.
“Where were we?” The old ape disregarded the others and only looked at Lin Xun with a warm gaze.
Lin Xun reminded him, “You said we were fated. Elder, and that you planned to make a deal with me.”
“Oh yes, as you get older, your memory gets worse.” The old ape sighed, leaving Lin Xun speechless again.
He possesses such a terrifying cultivation base and has lived so long in this world so he must know everything. How could his memory become worse?
“Although I said you have a fated relationship with our clan, you can’t take away the supreme secret art that belongs to our clan.”
As soon as the old ape said this, Lin Xun’s chest tensed up and his hair stood on end.

“But you don’t need to be worried. Since you were able to obtain a part of that dao scripture, that is your blessing. I won’t forcibly take it back. On the contrary, I can give you compensation.” The old ape looked at Lin Xun calmly.
How can that old monster be so kind? Both Toady and Zhao Jingxuan were deeply suspicious.
Lin Xun couldn’t help asking, “What compensation?”
“The dao scripture contains records of the secret of the saint path. Even if you have it, you won’t be able to use it now.”
The old ape continued calmly, “However, I know you won’t be willing to hand it over, so I have decided to let you see all the profound mysteries of this dao scripture. How much you can remember depends on your ability.”
Lin Xun’s heart quivered with surprise.
He never thought that the old ape’s compensation would be to allow him to study the complete saint dao scripture!
In other words, it was an unrivaled opportunity offered to him!
A complete saint dao scripture!
It had the records of the cultivation secrets of the saint path. Even a real saint would go crazy for it!
However, the old ape wanted to compensate him. Lin Xun felt as though a pie had fallen from the sky and hit his head.
Toady snorted. “Hmph, don’t get too excited. The complete saint dao scripture is imbued with the power of a saint, so what if you are allowed to study it? Your cultivation is currently too low. You won’t be able to comprehend its beauty!”
He appeared to be mocking Lin Xun, but in truth, he was reminding Lin Xun to not be too excited and get carried away.
“The descendant of the Three-legged Golden Toad is indeed amazing.” The old ape swept a glance over Toady. “You are correct. The secrets of the saint path are obscure and profound as it encompasses the supreme meaning of the saint path. A cultivator won’t benefit much from it unless they possess a cultivation base of the Saint Stage.”
Lin Xun finally understood.
The old ape was being this generous because he believed that Lin Xun wouldn’t benefit much from a glimpse of the complete dao scripture.
“What do you say?” asked the old ape.
“I…” Lin Xun hesitated for a moment before he could summon the courage to say aloud, “Elder, this compensation...seems a bit...”
“Not generous enough?” The old ape forced a smile and then nodded. “Well, what do you think the compensation should be?”
Lin Xun took a deep breath and gave a cupped fist salute. “I have encountered a lot of trouble. Elder, if you can help us safely leave Return Dominion, then I promise I will hand over the dao scripture.”
Toady and Zhao Jingxuan fixed their eyes on the old ape, looking a little nervous, but also a little hopeful. If the old ape agreed, their most difficult problem would be solved.
“Hahaha!” The old ape threw his head back and laughed skywards.
His voice vibrated the nine heavens and his eyes were as illuminating as torches, seemingly able to see through everything.
“Elder, why did you burst out laughing?” asked Lin Xun.
“I just didn’t expect someone like you to seek help from me.” There was an unfathomable glint in the old ape’s eyes.
Lin Xun corrected, “Elder, I am not asking for help, but making a fair deal with you.”
The old ape was taken aback and studied Lin Xun for a long moment. Then, his eyes glazed over in a trance.
He seemed to be reminiscing about the past as he murmured. “Indeed, maybe only you are the most qualified to receive the inheritance of Fangchun? Hmph…lofty and unyielding…rather die in battle and won’t yield...It’s just... who can persevere until the end like him...”
Lin Xun and the others frowned in bewilderment. It seemed that the old ape knew some secrets about the Fangchun ruins so he suddenly felt so emotional.
In the end, the old ape agreed to Lin Xun’s request.
Moreover, as he had said, he didn’t want to make things difficult for Lin Xun and decided to make a fair deal with Lin Xun.
Therefore, in addition to agreeing to Lin Xun’s request, he also offered him a glimpse of the complete dao scripture!
How would Lin Xun refuse something so good?
Without any hesitation, he brought out a part of the saint dao scripture that he had seized from the Five Elements Holy Island and handed it to the old ape.
The old ape took out the other part, pieced it together, and restored the complete dao scripture.
After that, the old ape activated a secret art and seemed to bring the complete saint dao scripture to life. It revealed its true mystery and secrets.
The old ape stated solemnly, “You only have one chance to study it. How much you can remember depends on your ability!”
Lin Xun quickly sat down cross-legged on the ground, mobilizing all his spirit power.
Boom!
Instantly, a gush of saint aura emerged in his mind-sea, gathering to form a piece of beautiful text. Every word was sacred and shining with mysterious and unfathomable light.
It was the secret text of the saint path. It was mysterious and obscure like a medium of the great dao!
It was impossible to comprehend!
Lin Xun trembled inwardly. Every word seemed to encompass wonderful meanings and endless mysterious truths. He couldn’t understand a single thing, let alone identify them.
It was too cryptic and sacred. Lin Xun’s spirit started to palpitate as though it was trapped in a vast ocean and about to drown and suffocate.
That was the power of the saint path, something that Lin Xun couldn’t pry into at his present cultivation stage!

At the critical moment, Lin Xun activated the Little Divine Meditation Art. Stars shone brilliantly, and a dazzling moon hung in the sky of his mind-sea.
He was no longer observing and comprehending, but using his spirit power to replicate and memorize every word of the saint dao scripture!
Even if he couldn’t understand it now, it didn’t mean he couldn’t in the future!
Lin Xun’s priority was to engrave the dao scripture in his mind.
One day, when he set foot on the saint path, he could comprehend the profound meaning and essence of the saint dao scripture and fully control it!
Lin Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, assuming a solemn expression. Toady and Zhao Jingxuan couldn’t help but cast envious glances at him. He was able to glimpse at a saint dao scripture! Even if he couldn’t comprehend it, it would have immeasurable benefits for him!
It was a supreme inheritance that would make even a Life Death Stage King envious to the point of going crazy.
The saint path was ethereal and called the supreme level. If a cultivator had a complete dao scripture to help them when they stepped into the saint stage, they wouldn’t need to worry about cultivation!
“Elder, can we also take a look?” Toady shamelessly asked, looking at the old ape hopefully.
The old ape advised, “There are thousands of great dao, and cultivators should stick to their own dao to ascend to the pinnacle. This art is an inheritance of my family and conflicts with the tradition of your Three-Legged Golden Toad Clan. I advise you to forget about it. Otherwise, A confused mind and heart will do you no good.”
Toady’s face became overcast and he protested, “Why is the kid allowed to but I’m not?”
The old ape said righteously, “You also won’t be able to comprehend it now. Do you think that anyone can comprehend an inheritance of the saint path?”
Toady fell silent.
Not long after that, Lin Xun opened his eyes from the meditation, his brows furrowed with fatigue.
He had exhausted his spirit to memorize the text.
It was a complete inheritance of the saint path. It contained endless profound mysteries and secrets, so it wasn’t easy to remember it.
“How much did you memorize?” Toady asked anxiously.
“More or less all of it,” murmured Lin Xun.
The obscure dao text had been completely imprinted on the ancient dao platform in his Heaven Ascension dwelling.
The old ape’s countenance changed. “You remembered it all?”
He originally thought that Lin Xun would already be amazing if he could memorize some of the scripture.
Who would have thought that he would remember everything?
The old ape froze for a moment, doubting whether he made the right decision to allow Lin Xun a glimpse of the supreme dao scripture of his clan.
