"May I ask, senior, how will the inheritor be selected?"
Gu Mingxuan's gaze shifted. He stepped forward and cupped his hands as he asked.
The old man gave him a faint glance.
In an instant, he saw straight through the other man's thoughts.
"Those being screened must pass my three trials!"
"The first trial tests aptitude and foundation. The second tests temperament and comprehension. The third tests actual combat ability!"
"Only those who pass all three trials will be qualified to accept the final test!"
Su Ying of Tianqing Holy Land asked curiously, "Then what if many people pass all three trials?"
The old man smiled slightly.
"Then it will depend on who can comprehend a trace of the Law of Water's true meaning first in the final test!"
"Whoever comprehends the most and the deepest will be my inheritor!"
When everyone heard this, they all rubbed their fists, eager to give it a try.
Gu Mingxuan murmured, "I must obtain this inheritance!"
"If I can obtain the Law of Water, then forget breaking through to the Saint Realm—even stabilizing at the peak of the Saint Realm in the future may not be impossible!"
"When that time comes, the position of Holy Son of Mystic Heaven Holy Land will belong to none other than me!"
Wang Shouyi and the others from Tianqing Holy Land also took a deep breath.
"We must obtain this inheritance!"
"Our Tianqing Holy Land is weak, and as a result, our disciples' strength is also a notch lower than that of the other Holy Lands!"
"If we obtain a law inheritance, perhaps we can overtake them from behind!"
"Years from now, it may not be impossible for our Tianqing Holy Land to become the foremost of the four great Holy Lands!"
Lin Qingxue, however, frowned slightly.
