Obtaining the Life Inheritance

After much deliberation, Lin Mu began to try.

Six different energies converged in his palm.

A rather peculiar energy then emerged.

I glanced at the energy inside the sphere; it seemed somewhat different.

Lin Mu observed the energy within the sphere once again.

Long Ying, standing beside him, looked on with surprise.

She knew that Lin Mu could imitate some of the essence of energy after just one observation.

Such talent is astonishing.

"This is terrifying! This energy is the life energy of the Matriarch. Not to mention him, even I, who have been here for so long, might not be able to reach his level!" Long Ying thought to herself.

She discovered that, in terms of talent, she was indeed inferior to Lin Mu.

After a while, Lin Mu looked away.

A system notification sounded.

"Complete an energy enlightenment session and gain 444 times the efficiency!"

Memories flooded in, and my understanding of this energy deepened considerably.

He continued to try to fuse, and even purer energy gathered in Lin Mu's palm.

The energy within the sphere trembled slightly, as if it were about to break free of its restraints.

Seeing this, Lin Mu looked somewhat surprised.

I never expected this energy to be so peculiar.

"No, it's still not perfect!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

He kept circulating energy, trying to make it exactly the same as the energy inside the sphere.

This process is very laborious.

However, Lin Mu possesses a system that grants him an boost with each attempt.

In this state, he has a clear grasp of the purity and dosage of energy.

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He knew very well that it wouldn't be long before he mastered this energy.

A large amount of energy gathered in his palm.

Pure white energy then emerged.

As this energy appeared, the energy inside the sphere trembled like boiling water.

Long Ying, standing opposite Lin Mu, looked on with surprise in her beautiful eyes.

She didn't expect that Lin Mu would actually condense it.

And in such a short time.

Just as Lin Mu finished condensing his energy, a Phantom appeared on the Matriarch Statue above.

The Phantom resembled the statue, its eyes sweeping over the crowd as it slowly said, "I have slumbered here for ten thousand years, and today I awaken to pass on my legacy to you all!"

"Those who wish to inherit my legacy must pass my test!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the scene around it changed dramatically.

The entire ancient temple expanded rapidly, with trees growing out of it.

A large tree also grows at the base of the Matriarch Statue, raising it to a height of hundreds of feet.

"Pass through the forest, do not fly. The first to arrive before me will receive my inheritance!" Its voice rang out once more.

All the participants looked excited as they saw the forest in front of them.

They all felt they had hope.

Some people rushed towards the woods, afraid of being a step too slow.

But as soon as they entered the forest, thorny vines came flying at them.

These vines are incredibly fast, and the destructive power of each one is equivalent to the full-force attack of a martial artist with around 50 Blood Qi Value.

Sizzle!

A whooshing sound came from the air.

Faced with the attack of these vines, many martial artists used their skills, wielding their weapons to slash at the vines.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Lin Mu looked up at everything that was happening in the main hall.

He could sense the holiness emanating from the Matriarch Statue, and the test set up by her was not difficult, so it should have some authenticity.

"Do you regret it?" Long Ying asked.

"What's there to regret!" Lin Mu said dismissively.

He placed the energy in his hand onto the sphere.

Click!

Cracks appeared on the surface of the sphere.

The energy within the sphere surged into Lin Mu's body.

Lin Mu's expression suddenly changed.

He felt as if an extremely comfortable energy was being poured into his body, and many impurities were being quickly cleared away.

The previous weakness and wounds have been healed.

In his mind's eye, he seemed to be in the arms of a woman.

It made him feel very comfortable, and he completely lost himself in it.

A smile appeared on Long Ying's face as she stood to the side.

She knew very well that the Matriarch's legacy had fallen to Lin Mu.

The statues above are just a smokescreen.

The entire tradition is passed down here from beginning to end.

The reason I didn't tell Lin Mu was because I wanted to see what kind of person he really was.

If he hesitates and is unwilling to help, it means he is rather selfish.

It's impossible to pass the torch to him.

"The Matriarch's prophecy was indeed correct; someone will come here and receive the inheritance!" Long Ying thought to herself.

Lin Mu had no idea what had happened.

A line of information appeared on his system interface.

"Life Body (Entry 1%)"

Seeing this, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The Life Body!

What kind of constitution does this person have?

The white light surrounding him slowly disappeared, and the comfortable feeling vanished with it.

Lin Mu looked at his attribute interface again, and a look of horror appeared in his pupils.

Other data remained largely unchanged, but the Blood Qi Value increased by several dozen points.

"Blood Qi Value: 64 points."

"Such a big improvement!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

He had no idea what had just happened.

Long Ying approached him with a smile on her face, "Thank you!"

"It's nothing! I feel like I've gained some kind of power?" Lin Mu asked.

"It's from me, a small reward for saving me!" Long Ying said with a smile.

"Thanks!"

"Mutual benefit and win-win!"

"Let's go! There should still be time to obtain the Matriarch's inheritance!" Long Ying said.

Lin Mu nodded.

With Long Ying's help, Lin Mu's figure rose rapidly, and soon he arrived at the middle of the forest.

"That's all I can do for you. The rest is up to you!" Long Ying said.

Lin Mu nodded. "Yes!"

Long Ying's body returned to the void.

She did not lie to Lin Mu.

Once the shackles are removed, she can leave this place.

As Dragon Clan, she also wanted to go out and see the world.

Her figure wandered through the void. After an unknown amount of time, she arrived at the deepest part of the void, where there was a huge statue of a goddess, emitting a faint light.

There seems to be some kind of spiritual energy within the statue.

"Matriarch! I want to leave here, go outside and see if I can find a way out!"

The statue did not respond; it simply emitted its light silently.

A passageway about half a person's height appears at the top of the statue.

Long Ying moved swiftly, rushing into the passage and disappearing from the spot.

The light on the statue dimmed, with only a faint glimmer remaining between its eyebrows.

The enormous body slowly fell and disappeared into the void.

About ten minutes later, a black creature with a body shape somewhat resembling a dragon arrived at the location.

Its eyes scanned the surroundings, a strange look appearing in its pupils.

"Strange, I clearly felt it just now, how did it disappear again!"
