Passing Through the Seventh Level of Inheritance

[The moment you broke through, Jiang Changtian sensed it. After you bid farewell to your family, you followed him to the so-called Inheritance Secret Realm. You traveled a great distance, even leaving Jiang State and arriving at the neighboring Xu State. Jiang Changtian handed you a jade token. On the front was a large Jiang character, and on the back was inscribed, 'Accept the mission in times of crisis, save the people from fire and water.' Seeing the Jiang character, some guesses arose in your heart, but you didn't understand the meaning of the latter sentence.]

[Without giving you much time, Jiang Changtian recited a mantra and pressed a bead into a hidden door you hadn't noticed before. The door opened, revealing pitch-black darkness inside; you couldn't make out anything. Looking at a shimmering light screen on the hidden door, you felt that what lay beyond wasn't where you were supposed to go. This light screen was likely a teleportation spell—once you stepped in, you'd probably be sent elsewhere.]

[Seeing your hesitation, Jiang Changtian didn't urge you. He said that if you didn't want to undergo the trial now, you could still go back. You thought to yourself that this was just a simulation, not reality, so you might as well scout the path for yourself. Soon, you strode boldly into the light screen. As you entered, the screen flickered and vanished, and the hidden door closed behind you. Jiang Changtian stayed outside, setting up some concealment measures, waiting for your return.]

[The moment you entered the light screen, everything went pitch black, and then you felt a dizzying spin. After a few minutes, light gradually appeared. Before you could gather your wits, a blinding glare hit you, forcing your eyes shut. You slowly opened them to find yourself in a completely different place.]

[Arriving at this new location, you saw a treasure tower before you. On the first floor's gate was written, 'Inheritance trial participants, enter here.' Simple and clear. Jiang Changtian had told you earlier that this secret realm required entering this tower.]

[The tower had nine floors. Passing six floors counted as a successful trial, granting you partial inheritance rewards.]

[Entering the tower, you reached the first floor. Two Essence Gathering Realm mid-stage leopards appeared. Neither demonic beast was a match for you; you killed them with a single punch. After they died, they turned into mist and vanished. At the same time, a circular platform rose in the center of the first floor, bearing a box. You opened it to find two Profound Grade High Rank recovery pills. However, you hadn't expended much in this fight, so you took the reward and saw the door to the second floor open. You walked in.]

[Soon, you reached the second floor. As you arrived, two Essence Gathering Realm late-stage demonic beasts appeared. Though they were late-stage, they felt no different from mid-stage to you. You dispatched them in moments. The reward on the second floor was an Earth Origin Pill, an Earth Grade Low-Rank treasure pill that could let an Essence Gathering Realm late-stage martial artist break through directly to the Earth Origin Realm. You didn't take it immediately but put it in your pocket.]

[Because Jiang Changtian had warned you earlier that if you reached the Earth Origin Realm, you'd be sent out of the secret realm and face danger. You hadn't forgotten his advice.]

[Soon, the five Essence Gathering Realm late-stage demonic beasts on the third floor were easily dealt with. You obtained a Profound Grade High Rank martial skill. To save time, you headed to the fourth floor. There, you encountered an Earth Origin Realm early-stage horse-type demonic beast. You used a martial skill for the first time. After killing it, you practiced for a while before moving to the fifth floor.]

[As time passed, you barely managed to scatter the demonic beast on the seventh floor. You had no intention of going to the eighth floor and chose to leave the Inheritance Trial Tower.]

[In truth, you could have left after defeating the sixth-floor beast, but you sensed that wasn't your limit. And indeed, you pushed yourself to kill the seventh-floor beast.]

[The moment you left the tower, you successfully obtained the inheritance. It was a piece of jade. You pressed it to your forehead, and a warm current flowed into your body, cleansing it. At the same time, you gained the insights preserved in the jade.]

[You clearly understood that with these insights, your cultivation speed before reaching the Void God Realm would at least double. But your gains didn't stop there. On the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, you obtained four precious treasures: a Mid-grade Earth Grade Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill, a High-grade Earth Grade Nirvana Treasure Pill, a High-grade Earth Grade treasure spear, and a Low-grade Heaven Grade Nine Dragon Treasure Pill.]

[The Mid-grade Earth Grade Heavenly Origin Treasure Pill could let an Earth Origin Realm late-stage martial artist break through directly to the Heavenly Origin Realm. It was the dream pill of every Earth Origin Realm martial artist. This pill had six inscriptions. The High-grade Earth Grade Nirvana Treasure Pill was an advanced version of the Lesser Nirvana Pill, capable of improving a martial artist's bone structure. The Lesser Nirvana Pill was actually a imitation of the Nirvana Treasure Pill. It had nine inscriptions.]

[This High-grade Earth Grade treasure spear was engraved with nine sharpness inscriptions. Just looking at it sent a chill through you. It was the highest-grade treasure you'd ever seen. Unfortunately, it wasn't a treasure blade, which made you sigh with regret.]

[Finally, the Low-grade Heaven Grade Nine Dragon Pill had eighteen inscriptions. You'd heard of this pill's reputation. It was said that only men could take it, and within twenty-four hours, they had to copulate with a woman. It would produce a child with extremely high bone structure and a special physique.]

[This Heaven Grade treasure pill was truly sentient. When you looked at it, it could actually speak, begging you not to eat it. However, it only repeated those few words, but it still amazed you. It made you wonder if Saint Grade pills and above might truly have thoughts and life characteristics like humans.]

[After obtaining the inheritance from the secret realm, you headed to the cave entrance to leave. Soon, the same situation as when you entered occurred, but with your first experience, you felt no discomfort this time. You returned to the place where you'd started and saw Jiang Changtian. He was overjoyed to see you. Though he knew you'd likely succeed, only when he actually saw you emerge did he truly relax.]

[You and Jiang Changtian walked back along the path you'd come. During the journey, you didn't speak to him. Only after returning to the Snow Mountain Sect did you briefly tell him about your experiences in the secret realm. Learning that you'd gone to the seventh floor, Jiang Changtian was shaken and sternly advised you not to take such dangerous risks in the future. He urged you to think more about your child, since you now had offspring. Hearing his words, you didn't argue, knowing he meant well.]
