Chapter 421: Life Pill Art.
The voice of the golem came from a machine within it. It didn’t move its mouth to speak at all. In fact, it doesn’t appear to have a mouth.
Arthur was surprised to hear what it said. He asked, "So I’m not the first inheritor?"
The golem replied, "You are the only inheritor for the last 500 years. There have been other inheritors in the time period since the Jade Cauldron sect fell and during the time the Jade Cauldron sect was still around."
"Most of the 13 inheritors appeared during the period that the Jade Cauldron sect was still a sect. 9 of them came from the Jade Cauldron sect. 3 came from your Blood Skull sect. The last inheritor was a cheater from your sect who broke the formation on top of the mountain and snuck into this place."
When Arthur heard the last sentence, the identity of the only formation master who could create teleportation platforms flashed through his mind.
He didn’t dwell on that too much though. Instead, he considered something else that the golem had said about the Jade Cauldron sect.
So he said, "So you already know that the Jade Cauldron sect has been destroyed. Yet you are still here giving out inheritances to people. And for hundreds of years too. That is admirable."
The golem didn’t think there was anything admirable about what it had done. It said, "I am just doing my job, which is to give the Inheritance of the Blood Pill Daoist to worthy successors. I did that when the Blood Pill Daoist was alive, and I continued to do it when she died."
"I will continue to do my job regardless of the existence of the Jade Cauldron sect. I will select worthy successors and give them the inheritance until I run out of energy or die. That is my fate."
Arthur’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Wow."
