Secret Canon
These figures came before the crowd.
Their skin was different colors, including bronze, crimson, and dark yellow.
Their hair is extremely thick, growing on their heads and chests.
Their skin has many scales.
As they looked at Lin Mu and the others, their bodies shrank rapidly, and soon they became the same size as them, with some resemblance to humans.
However, most of them are around fifty years old.
Looking at the Di Yan, one of the men, whose skin was reddish, asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The Nether Emperor Successor has been born, and my daughter wants to become his Contract Beast, so I would like to ask the elders to help identify her!" Di Yan explained.
Several figures turned their gazes toward Lin Mu.
He was the only human being there.
He is naturally Nether Emperor Successor.
To their surprise, Di Youxue chose him.
The man with dark yellow skin spoke in a thunderous voice, "Di Youxue is a genius of my clan, and he is very likely to enter the eighth rank in the future. I do not agree to him becoming this person's Contract Beast!"
The man standing at the back of the group had a faint smile on his lips.
This man was his grandfather, so naturally he was of one mind with him.
His high position in the clan was also related to the man before him.
"Di Leijun, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings left by your ancestors?" the crimson-clad man immediately said.
"We will not forget our ancestral teachings, but so many of the Nether Emperor Successor have been mediocre. What if he signs Contract with Di Youxue and delays her Di Youxue?" Di Leijun said immediately.
The Nether Emperor disappeared thousands of years ago.
His prestige is naturally not what it used to be.
Furthermore, since the Nether Emperor, almost no one has been able to truly inherit his mantle.
This has also led many Nether Beasts to distrust the Nether Emperor Successor.
"Whether it is or not, let the Ancestor decide. It's not something you can change with just a word!" the red-skinned man said indifferently.
He and Di Leijun on good terms, so naturally he couldn't stand what Lei Jun said.
However, he didn't really trust Lin Mu.
After all, Di Youxue has a very high status and is the future of their clan.
"Let him enter the Ancestral Land!" Di Yan said.
The elders nodded slightly.
They made hand seals together, and a Rune Seal landed on their Spirit Platform.
For a moment, Divine Soul seemed to wander across the tombstone on the Spirit Platform.
A powerful aura then emerged.
In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, lightning flashed, and terrifying pressure piled up endlessly.
Lin Mu was surprised when he saw this.
He could sense how extraordinary these Nether Beast must have been in life.
"Go in!" the man with crimson skin said at this moment.
Lin Mu nodded slightly and walked forward.
Upon entering this place, a powerful pressure descended upon him.
Lin Mu's pupils contracted; he could clearly feel something scanning him from all directions.
Just then, several giant Phantom appeared.
Who are you?
Lin Mu replied, "The Nether Emperor Successor has come here to sign Contract with Di Youxue!"
"The Nether Emperor Successor!" a giant said slowly.
"I never imagined that after all these years, a Nether Emperor Successor would finally arrive here!"
They looked at Lin Mu with curiosity.
Because the previous Nether Emperor Successor were all mediocre, they had no chance of coming here.
Although they are mostly asleep, they occasionally wake up.
Several elders told them about what was happening outside, and they had some understanding of the outside world.
"Let him come over!" a dignified voice rang out.
All that could be seen was a giant figure, radiating a faint golden light, sitting on a throne atop a tombstone deep within the tomb.
He was like Deity, majestic and aloof.
When Lin Mu met his gaze, he could clearly sense the extraordinary nature of this figure in his lifetime.
Because the aura emanating from him cannot be generated simply through cultivation.
They must have held a high position for a long time and gained the approval of some kind of power.
Lin Mu walked towards him.
The figure had a faint smile on his face, giving people a sense of friendliness.
"Nether Emperor Successor they allowed in must be extraordinary! However, Di Youxue is a genius of our clan and its future. Making her your Contract Beast won't be so easy!"
Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Just tell me what you need!"
"I need to know your potential!" the figure said slowly.
"Okay!" Lin Mu said.
With a single wave of his hand, a small golden tower landed on Lin Mu.
"This tower contains the Secret Canon of our clan. I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you can activate the light within the Tower Body, I will make Di Youxue your Contract Beast!"
Lin Mu looked down at the Tower Body and noticed many unknown characters on Tower Body.
These characters are intricate and seemingly without any pattern.
This made him frown slightly.
Those figures outside the Spirit Platform also witnessed this scene, and they were well aware of this test.
This is to see how talented Lin Mu is.
"Even I have only understood one chapter of the Secret Canon inside the tower. To activate the Tower Body's light, one needs to understand at least three chapters. This test is not easy!" the man with dark gray skin said slowly.
The other elders nodded slightly.
They were also well aware of how difficult the clan's Secret Canon were.
That was created by our ancestors while observing the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The text inside is extremely profound.
It also contains some of the secrets of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
However, it has no effect on cultivation.
It's definitely a good tool for testing purposes.
After all, those without talent cannot comprehend it no matter how hard they try.
A hint of tension appeared on Di Youxue's face.
She knew very well how difficult this Secret Canon was.
She almost fainted when she first saw these contents.
The Secret Canon text contains a lot of information, and it is also quite disorganized.
The slightest mistake could lead to Divine Soul breakdown.
Within the clan, those whose cultivation level has not reached the Fourth Grade are not even qualified to observe.
A slight smile played on the man's lips. He knew very well that trying to comprehend three chapters of such a difficult Secret Canon within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was simply a pipe dream.
The test set up by the ancestor was never intended for Lin Mu to complete.
He seemed to have already foreseen Lin Mu's defeat.
He wouldn't be polite to Lin Mu if Lin Mu failed.
He'd make this human understand what price he'd pay for messing with his woman!
