Divine King Inheritance!

The moment Bai Ye stepped into the pitch-black doorway, he was enveloped by a violent yet orderly spatial force.

As heaven and earth spun around him, the roar of void ripples echoed in his ears, and the scene before his eyes flickered rapidly through twisted light and shadow—from the gale-ravaged Meteorite Continent to a vibrant, thriving world in an instant.

When his feet landed steadily on the soft grass, a surge of spiritual energy so dense it felt almost tangible rushed at him.

This spiritual energy was nothing like the mixed impurities of the Heavenly Profound Continent, nor could it compare even to the purity of a Saint-grade Spirit Vein in the Wild Domain.

It carried a faint trace of Divine Rule power, which, upon being drawn into his body, transformed into a gentle, nourishing energy that fed his True God Dharma Form and Divine Origin Aperture!

Bai Ye took a deep breath, feeling his Sea of Consciousness clear, his Dao Body at ease, and even the fatigue from resisting the Chaos Qi in the Heavenly Gang Corridor mostly washed away.

"The quality of this spiritual energy is definitely on par with what Upper Realm Divine Realm cultivators use for training!"

Bai Ye looked around, his eyes filled with amazement.

The grass beneath his feet was a pale green, and the dewdrops clinging to the blades shimmered with pure spiritual energy fluctuations.

In the distance stretched a range of green mountains, their peaks shrouded in mist, within which faint glimmers of miraculous flowers and herbs could be seen.

From the woods came crisp birdsong, and occasionally small beasts covered in spiritual patterns scurried past, their eyes bright and intelligent—clearly spirit pets long nurtured by this rich spiritual energy.

With a thought, Bai Ye immediately triggered the system to check in: "System, check in."

"Ding! Special location detected: 'Dust Star Valley.' Super reward triggered!"

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Divine King ninth-grade treasure—Nine Heavens Glazed Jade Dew!"

A palm-sized glazed bottle materialized out of thin air in Bai Ye's palm.

The bottle was carved from seven-colored glazed crystal, and inside it held a pale golden liquid, its surface wreathed in faint Heavenly Dao Runes, exuding a vast and gentle aura.

Bai Ye probed it with his Spiritual Sense and was instantly stunned beyond words: "This is actually a Divine King ninth-grade treasure!"

The Nine Heavens Glazed Jade Dew was said to be capable of mending wounds to the Heavenly Dao itself, compensating for its losses—a supreme treasure that was rare even in the Upper Realm!

Even a Divine Venerable Realm expert, if their Dao foundation were damaged, would need such a treasure to restore it.

At the same time, it could nourish the Heavenly Dao origin of a Lesser World, breathing new life into a collapsing Heavenly Dao!

"A treasure of this level proves that Dust Star Valley is no ordinary Inheritance Land!"

Bai Ye gripped the glazed bottle tightly, his conviction growing. "I guessed at most a Divine Venerable inheritance before—looks like I underestimated it. This place is definitely a true Divine King inheritance!"

Just as he was about to venture deeper, a hazy rain of light suddenly descended from the sky.

The light rain was made up of countless tiny golden specks, drifting down slowly before coalescing into a small figure in front of him.

It was a little girl with wings on her back, no more than three feet tall, her white hair as soft as moonlight, cascading over her shoulders.

Her wings were formed from starlight, scattering specks of Silver Radiance as they fluttered.

She wore a light blue dress embroidered with Star Runes, her skin fair as jade.

Her large eyes were lively and clear, studying Bai Ye with curiosity, yet her entire being radiated the majestic, solemn aura unique to the Heavenly Dao—a stark contrast to her adorable appearance.

"Could this be... the manifested Heavenly Dao will of the Dust Star Valley Lesser World?"

Bai Ye's heart churned with shock once more.

An ordinary Lesser World could at most nurture a faint Heavenly Dao consciousness, but to condense such a clear humanoid form—only a Secret Realm forged by a Divine King-level powerhouse could achieve that!

"Definitely a Divine King inheritance! No mistake!"

Bai Ye's heart raced, barely containing his excitement.

He had never imagined that an exploration he hadn't held high hopes for would actually land him such an earth-shattering opportunity!

Was this the luck boost from his Earth-grade Merit Golden Body?

The little girl flapped her starlight wings, flew up to Bai Ye, and spoke in a childish voice tinged with the Heavenly Dao's ethereal quality: "Hello there, outsider cultivator. I am the Heavenly Dao will of Dust Star Valley. You can call me Star Spirit."

"Greetings, Senior Star Spirit."

Bai Ye cupped his hands and offered a polite smile.

Facing the Heavenly Dao will of a Lesser World, even as a True God Realm cultivator, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Star Spirit waved her little hand and laughed: "No need to call me senior. Just call me Star Spirit. Let me tell you about Dust Star Valley's origins."

She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a faint trace of age: "This Lesser World was created in ancient times by the Upper Realm Divine King Titan 'Dust Star Daoist,' who expended vast amounts of Divine Origin to build it."

"Before Dust Star Daoist fell, he set this place as his Inheritance Land, using his great divine power to cast it into the depths of the void, keeping it safe from petty schemers."

"At the same time, he left Dust Star Gates scattered across the universe, along with many inheritance keys—like the Tortoise Shell in your hand. As long as you hold a key, you can enter through any Dust Star Gate."

Star Spirit raised her hand, and a pale blue storage ring materialized, floating gently toward Bai Ye: "Every cultivator who enters Dust Star Valley receives a basic inheritance. The items in this ring are your foundation gift."

Bai Ye nodded, took the storage ring, and probed it with his Primordial Spirit. The treasures inside stunned him beyond measure:

Divine Crystals: a full million Five-Colored Divine Crystals, each radiating a dense aura of divine origin—the top-tier training resource for Upper Realm Divine Realm cultivators!

Pills and Spirit Herbs: dozens of bottles labeled "Divine Venerable-grade," covering healing, breakthrough, and cultivation stabilization, along with over a hundred rare spirit herbs, including several "Divine King Grass" specimens only recorded in ancient texts—core materials for refining Divine King-grade pills!

Two Divine Venerable-grade artifacts lay quietly within a jade box. One was an entirely black long spear, its shaft engraved with the words "Realm Breaker," capable of tearing through space with boundless power!

The other was a pale gold dharma robe, named the "Myriad Aspect Robe," which could automatically evolve defensive formations to withstand attacks from a Mid Divine Venerable.

"This is just the basic inheritance?" Bai Ye drew in a sharp breath.

Such a generous gift would drive any True God Realm cultivator mad, and in the Upper Realm, it could spark a considerable struggle.

The Star Spirit seemed to read his thoughts and continued with a smile, "This is only the basic inheritance. If you wish to become Dust Star Daoist's personal disciple and inherit his full legacy, you must pass a trial."

"For millions of years, quite a few cultivators have entered this place, yet no one has ever passed the trial."

"What trial?"

A glint of anticipation flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.

"Simple—comprehend a single stele."

The Star Spirit flapped its wings and flew deeper into the valley. "Follow me."

Bai Ye followed closely, passing through a valley blooming with spirit flowers, until they arrived before a towering mountain peak.

At the mountain's summit stood a colossal stone slab a hundred zhang high. The slab was a dark purple, its surface covered in obscure Ancient Runes.

A faint aura of Chaos Qi lingered among the runes—this was the stele the Star Spirit had mentioned.

"This is the greatest fortune Dust Star Daoist obtained in his youth. He called it the 'Immortal Ancient Dao Stele,'" the Star Spirit explained, reverence filling her eyes. "The stele has nine seals. Each seal you unlock grants you an Ancient Immortal Inheritance."

"Before his fall, Dust Star Daoist had only unlocked four seals, yet those four inheritances made him a Divine King Titan who dominated the Upper Realm!"

She turned to Bai Ye, her tone growing serious. "Your trial is to comprehend and unlock the first seal within a hundred years."

"If you succeed, you pass the trial and inherit Dust Star Daoist's full legacy. If you fail, you leave Dust Star Valley with only the basic inheritance."

Bai Ye gazed at the Immortal Ancient Dao Stele, feeling the vast aura contained within, and anticipation surged in his heart.

This trial might be as difficult as reaching the heavens for others.

But he possessed Ten Thousand Times Comprehension, bolstered by the Earth-grade Merit Golden Body—failure was not necessarily his fate!
