• Lin Xuan looked up and provoked the hidden existence, but nothing answered him.

Lin Xuan examined the black pillars in the Xuantian Inheritance Land and found that their mysterious power was unlike anything Xuantian had shown him before.

• After the evil gaze disappeared, Lin Xuan looked around the Xuantian Inheritance Land and saw countless black pillars radiating terrifying auras.
• Lin Xuan recognized the power within the pillars as mysterious power, but found it far more frightening and unlike the power Xuantian had previously shown him.
• Lin Xuan wondered whether Xuantian had deliberately shown him a false form of mysterious power.
• Lin Xuan searched the pillars for the power once used by the guardian of the Ninth Layer Palace but found only unfamiliar forces.
• Lin Xuan concluded that the inheritance had not appeared and decided to search for Xuantian's Legacy instead of continuing to seek the mysterious power.

Lin Xuan found a small bead carrying Xuantian’s aura and took it, dispersing the black mist and revealing a vision of Xuantian. Although Lin Xuan believed the White Bead was Xuantian’s true legacy, it did not transform into the legacy after releasing its light.

• The Artifact Spirit realized Lin Xuan was searching for Xuantian’s Legacy and feared that Lin Xuan would use it to destroy him.

• Lin Xuan saw a vision of Xuantian as a young man in white holding a long spear and believed the bead was his true legacy.
• The White Bead failed to transform into Xuantian’s Legacy, and Lin Xuan’s smile froze.

Lin Xuan received the White Bead, but the Xuantian's Legacy did not recognize him, leaving him puzzled about why. The Artifact Spirit expected the hidden existence to kill Lin Xuan, but it did nothing, leaving the reason for its restraint unclear.

• The White Bead turned into an ordinary-looking bead and fell into Lin Xuan's palm.
• The Artifact Spirit laughed when the legacy did not appear, relieved that Lin Xuan had not gained Xuantian's power.
• Lin Xuan examined the bead and wondered why it had rejected him despite the Xuantian phantom's apparent approval.
• The Artifact Spirit expected the hidden existence to kill Lin Xuan, but the existence did not attack him.
• The Artifact Spirit stared at Lin Xuan in disbelief and hoped the hidden existence would finish him off.

A young man confronted the Artifact Spirit over its attempt to pressure the presence that had accepted Lin Xuan. He then told Lin Xuan that, despite surviving the Nine-layered Palace, he could not obtain Xuantian's Legacy because it did not acknowledge him.

• The Artifact Spirit realized the presence in the shadows had accepted Lin Xuan and demanded it consider its promise to Xuantian.
• The young man appeared and warned the Artifact Spirit that it would be dead if not for its connection to Xuantian.
• The Artifact Spirit invoked the young man's promise to Xuantian, and the young man withdrew his attack, leaving the Artifact Spirit gasping on his knees.
• The young man turned to Lin Xuan, praised his strength and luck, then declared that Xuantian's Legacy would not accept him.

Lin Xuan learned that Xuantian's Legacy rejected him because he would not become the successor Xuantian wanted. Instead, he had obtained the black power Xuantian left behind, whose ominous flames appeared before him and the young man.

• The Artifact Spirit mocked Lin Xuan, convinced he could not obtain Xuantian's Legacy.
• Lin Xuan explained that he understood why the Legacy had not chosen him, and the young man confirmed that Lin Xuan would have used it as a tool rather than becoming Xuantian's true successor.
• The young man revealed that Lin Xuan had obtained something more important: the black power Xuantian left behind.
• The young man shattered the black pillars and gathered their power into a mass of black flames, while the Artifact Spirit stared at it greedily.
• Lin Xuan sensed that the flames were ominous and could affect a person's mind, and he regarded them with both temptation and caution.

Lin Xuan approached the black flame and discovered that his gray mist could ignite into a flame of comparable level. When the young man demanded to know where it came from, Lin Xuan began explaining what had happened before he entered the Xuantian Great Tomb.

• The young man praised Lin Xuan for resisting the black flame and said it would have to acknowledge him for him to obtain it.
• Lin Xuan approached the black flame and sensed it resonating with the gray mist inside his gray-white mist.
• Lin Xuan separated some gray mist and held it before the black flame, causing it to burn into a strange gray flame.
• The young man was shocked by the gray flame’s power and asked Lin Xuan where he had obtained it.
• Lin Xuan said the flame was not his and began telling the young man what had happened before he entered the Xuantian Great Tomb.

Lin Xuan learned that the Eerie Smiling Face and White Lotus who had helped him were once Supreme Experts named Wusheng and Baihe, and that they had sent him into the Xuantian Great Tomb as part of their plan. He was left grimly aware that he had become their pawn.

• Lin Xuan questioned the young man about the Eerie Smiling Face and White Lotus, and the young man recognized them.
• Lin Xuan explained that Wusheng and Baihe had fused the Life Power and World-Destroying Law within him before he entered the tomb.
• The young man revealed that Wusheng had once rivaled Xuantian and that Baihe was said to be a river from the Highest Divine Realm.
• The young man warned Lin Xuan that Wusheng and Baihe had been laying out a game across the myriad heavens and had made him their pawn.
• Lin Xuan realized the two experts could have entered the tomb themselves but had sent him in with power comparable to Xuantian’s, leaving him grim and wary.

Lin Xuan realized Wusheng and Baihe had sent him into the Xuantian Great Tomb to bypass Xuantian’s formation and claim the power he left behind. The young man understood the scheme and grew grim at the prospect of Wusheng and Baihe taking Xuantian’s inheritance.

• Lin Xuan recalled that Wusheng and Baihe were as powerful as Xuantian and concluded they had made him a pawn in their plan.
• The young man explained that Xuantian had left a grand formation by his tomb that would activate and move it if a powerhouse of the same realm approached.
• Lin Xuan reasoned that Wusheng and Baihe had avoided entering the tomb because they knew about the formation and had sent him in their place.
• The young man realized Wusheng and Baihe might be seeking Xuantian’s power and became grim, since Xuantian had hoped someone would master the black flame and become the strongest sovereign.

A young man explained to Lin Xuan that Wusheng and Baihe had abandoned their original bodies in pursuit of strength and might have a scheme involving him. He told Lin Xuan to comprehend the black flame and revealed that it and the gray flame had once been one power, while Xuantian had hoped to use the black flame to restore other flames’ origins and wield their abilities.

• Lin Xuan reflected on how far Wusheng and Baihe had gone to become stronger, and the young man said many experts took similarly extreme measures.
• The young man warned Lin Xuan that Wusheng and Baihe might have a greater scheme involving him and urged him to comprehend the black flame to protect himself.
• The young man explained that the black flame and gray flame had been one entity before splitting into separate powers with their own consciousnesses.
• Lin Xuan questioned why Xuantian had not used the black flame, and the young man said Xuantian had planned to use it to restore the origins of all flames and wield their abilities.

The young man explained that Xuantian fell because he pursued the destructive natural force behind the black flame and lost himself to it. Lin Xuan learned why Wusheng and Baihe had survived with gray flames, then asked whether he should use the black flame to fuse with the gray flame within him.

• Lin Xuan questioned why he had not sensed flame power when he fought the Xuantian phantom, and the young man said Xuantian had lost himself to the black flame.
• The young man explained that Xuantian had sought the natural force of destruction behind the black flame and was killed after going mad.
• Lin Xuan asked why Wusheng and Baihe still possessed gray flames, and the young man revealed they belonged to an organization with at least five supreme experts.
• Lin Xuan concluded that Wusheng and Baihe’s allies had protected them, unlike the solitary Xuantian.
• Lin Xuan asked whether he should comprehend the black flame and fuse it with the gray flame within him.

Lin Xuan realized that absorbing the black flame and merging it with his gray flame was his only way to protect himself from Wusheng and Baihe. He studied the black flame’s overwhelming life force but could not yet understand its secrets.

• The young man warned Lin Xuan that Wusheng and Baihe would try to seize the black flame if he could not fully absorb it.
• Lin Xuan decided to merge the black flame and gray flame to gain the power to defend himself.
• Lin Xuan examined the black flame and sensed that its destructive aura contained immense vitality.
• Lin Xuan recognized that the black flame’s Life Power could make him nearly impossible to defeat, but he could not yet comprehend it.
