Although the Ruyi Golden Cudgel didn’t give birth to an artifact spirit, it still possessed intelligence.
After all, the tier of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was extremely high.
Of course, Lin Ming may not find it particularly outstanding given he had quite a few divine artifacts in his hands, but it could be said that with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel’s tier, it was something that no other Sage realm experts could possess.
Although it wasn’t a divine artifact, and couldn’t even be considered a pseudo-divine artifact as claimed by the Great Sage, the combat power and the strength of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was definitely at the tier of a pseudo-divine artifact.
Furthermore, if one considered its lethality, no one would have any objections if the Ruyi Golden Cudgel were classified as a divine artifact.
After all, back then, the Great Sage had wielded the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and defeated the Heavenly Court, which had several divine artifacts.
“Tsk tsk, it seems like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel does like you,” The Great Sage looked at the vibrating and restless Ruyi Golden Cudgel and could not help but say.
“In the future, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel is yours and you have to treat it well. Although it doesn’t have an artifact spirit, it has consciousness,” The Great Sage walked forward and caressed the Ruyi Golden Cudgel as he said.
“Great Sage, don’t worry,” Lin Ming nodded, promising to never mistreat the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
“Lin Ming, although I’m aware that this isn’t a dream, you are just too surreal. I’ve never seen anyone with your comprehension ability or the sort. Though it’s true that only a monster like you can break the God-tier barrier, but then again, your level of monstrosity is simply surreal,” The Great Sage patted Lin Ming’s shoulder and said.
Lin Ming’s abilities made the Great Sage feel as if he was in a dream.
To think that he could draw a world-class Spirit Gathering Array at tier 10, and now, after just learning two of his innate divine abilities, Lin Ming could already use them better than him.
Furthermore, the various existences in Lin Ming’s body were all extremely powerful who could even be said to be the pinnacle of this world.
“Alright, I have nothing more to say. I’m off to meet my old friends,” The Great Sage stretched lazily and said.
“Wait a moment, Great Sage. There’s one more thing that I believe you know,” Lin Ming quickly spoke and stopped the Great Sage who was about to leave.
After all, the Great Sage still had his powers.
“To help you open up a new element?” The Great Sage turned around and asked.
“Yes,” Lin Ming nodded.
“You can’t keep asking us old fellows to help you open up a path. With your current power, you are entirely capable of opening up a new element yourself, it’s just that you have become dependent on us because of the God-tier inheritances. Right now, what you need is not for us to open up new elements for you, but to find the path that you have opened up yourself,” The Great Sage spoke.
“This Water Curtain Cave of mine was created from water magic. You should cultivate here and comprehend the element to create a new element yourself. If you succeed this time, you will be able to succeed for the following elements too. At that time, even if you don’t have God-tier inheritances to help you, you can still complete this path by relying on yourself,” The Great Sage continued.
What he was trying to do now was not to help Lin Ming open up a new element, but instead, he was trying to tell Lin Ming the path he should take.
“Yes, Great Sage. I understand now. I have been restrained by my thoughts,” Lin Ming nodded and said.
“I’m off then,” The Great Sage said.
With this, the Great Sage’s power dissipated and he entered the depths of Lin Ming’s consciousness.
“Everyone, it’s been a long time,” As soon as the Great Sage entered, he smiled and said.
“It has been a long time,” The Diagram Spirit, the God of Fire, and the Demon God stood up as well.
“Lin Ming has finished accepting your inheritance in such a short time?” The three of them asked curiously.
“Yes, I get the feeling this guy is too monstrous,” The Great Sage nodded.
“Back then, Lin Ming wasn’t that monstrous. After all, I was the first to give him the God-tier inheritance. However, as time passed, this kid has become more and more monstrous,” The Demon God said. In such matters, his words weighed the most since he was the earliest existence that gave Lin Ming the inheritance.
“Our inheritances should be the reason why he has become more and more monstrous, no?” The Diagram Spirit spoke.
“That’s not it. I can sense that there’s something in Lin Ming’s body other than our inheritance, and it’s an even more powerful existence that is similar to the inheritances,” The Demon God shook his head and said.
“There’s an even more monstrous existence that’s similar to the inheritances?”
Hearing this, the others frowned.
“That’s right,” The Demon God nodded.
From the first time the Demon God met Lin Ming, he was aware that there was an existence similar to an inheritance in Lin Ming’s body.
The Demon God’s senses were not wrong.
Lin Ming’s body did contain an existence similar to an inheritance.
And yes, it was an even more powerful and monstrous existence.
That was the system within Lin Ming’s body.
“Our inheritances should only be playing a supportive role. Though they’re also quite useful to Lin Ming, the real reason why Lin Ming is so monstrous is because of that existence within his body,” The Demon God said.
The Demon God’s words caused them to sink into deep thought.
“Could it be that Lin Ming is the reincarnation of a God-tier powerhouse that survived?” The God of Fire frowned and said.
This was not the first time he had this thought.
Ever since Lin Ming had received his inheritance, he had been thinking of this.
After all, Lin Ming did not seem like an ordinary mage.
“It is possible…” The Diagram Spirit who was beside him nodded.
“He can’t be the reincarnation of a God. The few of them who had survived and had created the God-tier barrier would not have allowed such the reincarnation of a God-tier,” The Demon God shook his head and said.
“Lin Ming should have had a fortuitous encounter before he met us,” The Demon God said.
“After all, when he was just at tier 7, he already had Black Fire and other powers that other tier 7 couldn’t have,” The Demon God continued.
He knew this because he had met Lin Ming when he was in tier 7.
“I wonder if the inheritance in Lin Ming’s body is good or bad?” The Diagram Spirit said.
“We shouldn’t care whether that inheritance is good or bad. We only need to focus on Lin Ming and that will be enough. It’s just like how I’m called the Demon God, but I’m doing the most righteous thing. It’s the same logic.. After all, power itself is innocent,” The Demon God took a deep breath and said.
