Chapter 475: Claiming Inheritance by Fraud

Su Che took on Yu Qing’s appearance and slowly stepped out of the Immortal Realm. As soon as he appeared, the mysterious shadow was utterly shocked and quickly turned to look at Su Che.
Bang!
Being distracted in battle meant being blown up by the shadow’s shot. But he had already been blown up dozens of times; probably, he was numb to it by now.
“Master?”
While dodging left and right, the mysterious shadow asked loudly, his tone filled with disbelief.
“It’s me.”
Su Che’s reply had an expression and tone indistinguishable from that of the real Yu Qing. In fact, a slight difference was normal—even Yu Qing himself couldn’t maintain one expression or emotion forever.
“Master, is it really you?”
The mysterious shadow examined him carefully but found no flaws. Though he doubted this suddenly appearing “master,” he didn’t dare claim outright that it was a imposter. He could only ask, “But how can your cultivation be so low?”
“Reincarnation through a sliver of distraction—don’t you understand?” Su Che replied indifferently, not even glancing at him, his attention still on the statue.
Actually, this was just a random answer made up by Su Che. The so-called “reincarnation through a sliver of distraction” referred to Yu Qing’s situation on Qi Yuan Star. It seemed Yu Qing was a reincarnation born from a sliver of distraction, with most of his original spirit still lingering in the Spirit Realm…
To be honest, Su Che had no expectation of deceiving this mysterious shadow by pretending to be Yu Qing. He had another purpose in mind.
As he spoke, Su Che floated up to the altar and slowly approached the statue.
“Reincarnation through a sliver of soul?” The mysterious shadow seemed quite serious. While dodging the shadow’s attacks, he muttered, “Master, you really did this… They really pushed you to this extreme…”
Though his voice was soft, Su Che could hear it through his spiritual sense and was slightly surprised: Did I fool them?
Seeing Su Che approaching the statue, the mysterious shadow called out again, “Master, there’s no more Shadow Soul power inside. The soul power stored over the past thousand years was transferred to the Immortal Realm two months ago.”
Su Che didn’t understand these words either. Soul power stored for a thousand years? Transferred to the Immortal Realm?
Out of nowhere, who could make sense of just these two random sentences?

But it didn’t matter. Su Che had no interest in these secrets. His goal at this moment was to see if he could use the spiritual energy fluctuations of Yu Qing and his own unique aura to deceive that protective barrier and penetrate it, so as to get up close to the statue.
“Master…”
The mysterious shadow tried to say something again, but Su Che waved his hand sharply: “Shut up! Don’t bother me!”
This rebuke made the mysterious shadow freeze for a moment. Bang! The shadow seized the opportunity to stab him in the head with a gun.
However, it seemed the mysterious shadow no longer cared about such blows. He was now filled with doubt, unable to determine whether this master before him was truly real.
If he was indeed a reincarnation of a fragment of the master’s soul, it made sense for him to approach the statue now, as the statue contained two months’ worth of spiritual energy and other things that would surely be helpful to the master.
But if he was an imposter, his motives for approaching the statue were obvious—he wanted to destroy it.
At that moment, the mysterious shadow wanted to stop Su Che, yet he also felt some fear: What if he really was the master’s reincarnation? Would it not be a grave act of disrespect to interfere rashly?
It was this fear, combined with the shadow’s continuous and intense attacks, that made the mysterious shadow hesitate for just a few breaths.
It was during these brief moments that Su Che reached the statue. With a soft sound, he gently passed through the invisible barrier.
The moment he penetrated the barrier, Su Che was overjoyed: “I was right! This barrier isn’t set up to defend against ‘Yu Qing’ at all.”
Many protective barriers in the cultivation world possess a certain degree of self-recognition ability. For certain people, these barriers allow them to pass unimpeded. For example, when the Tianxuan Sect’s mountain protection array is fully activated and in a state of complete blockade, it will mercilessly stop everyone else, but not the current sect leader.
That’s because each generation of sect leader is the controller of the mountain protection array, which naturally recognizes them.
So, Su Che had thought earlier—could ‘Yu Qing’ deceive this protective barrier and the statue? After all, if even I can’t touch my own statue, wouldn’t that be an absurd joke?
Of course, this was just a guess. Only by taking a risk and giving it a try could one find out for sure.
And the result now was: He was right!

Su Che penetrated that protective barrier and came almost up close to the statue.
Bang bang bang bang…
Beneath the altar, two dark figures were still fighting fiercely. One of the mysterious figures was divided between the fight and keeping a close eye on its “master’s” movements. If he were a impostor trying to destroy the statue, then it would have to use that last resort…
Inside the protective barrier, Su Che slowly raised his hand as if to gently touch his statue, but in reality, he wanted to detect its material and structure to determine whether his true Qi energy could destroy it.
After all, only the outer protective barrier had strong defensive capabilities; the statue itself wasn’t a magical artifact and was likely vulnerable to a single strike.
Yet, as soon as Su Che’s palm touched the statue, a burst of information flooded his mind…
A large amount of unknown data rushed into his brain. Su Che instinctively tried to resist, but then heard Lao He remind him in time, “It’s fine. Harmless information. I’ll take it.”
“Okay!”
Su Che felt relieved and stopped resisting. After all, with the Immortal Prison in his mind, he shouldn’t fear such an assault.
“Haha, I’m rich!”
A few breaths later, he heard Lao He laughing loudly, “The inheritance of three great Dao arts! This is it!”
“Inheritance of three great Dao arts?” Su Che was stunned and asked foolishly, “Is it for me?”
“Definitely not for you,” Lao He said with a smile. “It should be for Yu Qing, or someone similar to Yu Qing… Well, who knows! Anyway, since you’re now Yu Qing, this silly statue has given you the good things stored inside.”
Only then did Su Che realize that by impersonating someone else, he had taken what should have belonged to “Yu Qing.”
“But how could it be so easy?” Su Che still found it hard to believe. “Can it really be obtained so easily?”
“It can’t be called easy,” Lao He replied. “Apart from this coincidence, who else could openly enter the Holy Ancestor Immortal Hall, drive out thousands of powerful warriors from the Holy Shadow Sect, penetrate that protective barrier just now, and even deceive this statue? Anyway, meeting so many conditions must be extremely difficult.”
“No!” Su Che frowned. “I still think there’s something suspicious.”
“Oh, right.”
Lao He added, “Besides the inheritance of these three great Dao arts, there was also a sentence at the end of that information…”
“What sentence?” Su Che asked urgently.

“Unfortunate you, you have finally embarked on this path of destruction, just like that unfortunate me back then…”
Lao He muttered, “It’s just such a random sentence.”
“Unfortunate you, you have finally embarked on this path of destruction, just like that unfortunate me back then…”
Su Che repeated it to himself and murmured, “This sentence isn’t meant for me, is it?”
