"Did I get banned for cheating?"

Lu Yan'an felt somewhat baffled. Why was it that City Lord Luo could cheat by using his energy life Clone and receive a reward, while he was expelled when the same thing happened to him? This was unfair!

But things had already progressed this far, and complaining wouldn't help. However, it wasn't too bad; at least the Demon Sound God General's backup plan hadn't teleported him directly outside the plaza! Lu Yan'an looked around; the plaza was empty, and the white light barrier outside was still there. This white light barrier prevented the Phantom Beast from flying in.

"Thank goodness I was teleported here. If I had been teleported outside, the consequences would have been unimaginable!" He felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the endless Phantom Beast outside the Inheritance Palace. If he had been teleported out directly, even with his inheritance experience, he would have been overwhelmed and killed by those endless Phantom Beast!

"Sigh, the inheritance is over!" Lu Yan'an shook his head with some disappointment, standing in the square, where he was the only one.

"Enough! Enough! Greed knows no bounds. I've already gained enough! I should be content!" For six years, the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance been relentlessly testing his endurance during his cultivation. This was not merely an inheritance of secret techniques, but also a tremendous test of his will!

"Moreover, this Inheritance Secret Technique is used to change the soul, making my control over the soul ten times stronger," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "In addition, my continuous exploration of Heart Power over the past six years has also allowed me to reach a higher level in the realm of Heart Power."

Heart Power is completely different from other forms of cultivation.

For example, comprehending the laws and studying secret methods require a great deal of effort.

However, the mystery of Heart Power lies in the exploration of one's own will. For example, when resisting the inheritance, one can use the third Heart Power to completely isolate the mental pain from the physical pain in order to maximize the efficiency of enlightenment. This in itself is a kind of exploration of one's own will!

By continuously using Heart Power, one can continuously improve the quality of Heart Power one has mastered. This quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, forming a perfect virtuous cycle, which is one of the gains Lu Yan'an made in this inheritance.

"It's time to go back!"

Lu Yan'an's body transformed.

Whoosh!

He switched to his Demon Beast Clone, Clone instantly transformed into an Ice Bear, just as it had when he arrived.

The honest and cute Ice Bear looked around, then suddenly rushed forward.

Call!

The Ice Bear charged straight through the white light barrier and immediately saw the countless Phantom Beasts in the endless Abyss World below. With a thud, the Ice Bear fell directly onto the ice and stupidly got up. The surrounding Phantom Beast, who were also stupid, paid almost no attention to the Ice Bear.

"Hmm?" The Ice Bear looked up at the ugly, floating palace in the air. "Huh, all 32 palaces have white light shields?"

Immediately afterwards, the white light barrier surrounding the palace where Lu Yan'an had received the inheritance began to slowly dissipate.

"It seems there are living beings receiving their inheritance in the other 31 palaces." Ice Bear glanced around. "Let's get out of here quickly; we can't stay any longer!"

The Ice Bear looked around.

The vast, cold Abyss World stretches as far as the eye can see, no matter which direction you look. It is filled with countless mythical Phantom Beast, their Phantom Beast number simply unbelievable.

"Keep walking in one direction until you find the place where the demonic sound appears. Wherever the demonic sound appears, there must be cave passages nearby!" Lu Yan'an said thoughtfully, recalling how City Lord Luo left in the original story.

So the ice bear Lu Yan'an began to move forward in one direction, sometimes running and leaping for millions of kilometers, sometimes leisurely swaying its big butt for a while. In this way, the ice bear went further and further away, and gradually, the number of magical beasts that it could see in its field of vision became less and less.

Finally, we arrived at a certain place.

"Hold head high!"

A powerful demonic sound swept across the area in an instant, and Ice Bear Lu Yan'an also heard this sound containing the power of illusion.

"Finally, I've encountered the demonic sound!" Although the intensity of this demonic sound wasn't high, probably only affecting an ordinary Star Level being at most, Lu Yan'an was still incredibly excited. After all, this was the first time he had heard a demonic sound in the six months he had been traveling, and the appearance of the demonic sound also indicated that there must be a cave passage nearby!

Ice Bear Lu Yan'an was quite excited and immediately ran forward. After running for tens of thousands of kilometers in one go, he finally saw the cave passages on the vast rocky ice mountain walls!

"Phew!" Lu Yan'an breathed a sigh of relief. Losing his location in the Abyss World was a terrifying thing in itself. What was even more distressing was that, with his strength, he had barely escaped the lowest level in this place, and it was even difficult to guarantee his own safety!

"We've finally arrived!" Ice Bear Lu Yan'an excitedly waved its large paws, then darted into one of the deep caves.

Before even entering the Demon Mountain, to prevent getting lost, Lu Yan'an had already prepared a map of the deep caves within the Demon Mountain in the Lord Shen's database. However, within the Abyss World, he had hardly found any deep caves on the rocky, icy walls, causing the map to gather dust in the database until now.

"Let's go!" Following the map's directions, Lu Yan'an began to venture deeper into the cave passage.

Lu Yan'an disguised himself as a native and continued forward.

The Demon Sound Mountain was indeed insane. Anyone who encountered Lu Yan'an in the caves and thought they were stronger than him would take the initiative to kill him.

On the way out, they encountered more than ten people.

With Lu Yan'an's display of "Universe Level Ninth Order" strength, he did indeed attract many Domain Lord natives to kill him, but they were all easily dealt with by Lu Yan'an. This also naturally increased the total number of Black Token he collected to 10,000.

"Haha, finally out! We're out of this super maze, Demon Sound Mountain!" Lu Yan'an laughed and flew directly out of the outermost cave entrance of Demon Sound Mountain.

The Demon Sound Mountain was always a rocky, icy environment. When he flew out of the outermost cave entrance, he saw the endless void in the distance and felt a sense of comfort and freedom.

"They're out!"

"This journey to Demon Sound Mountain has come to an end."

Lu Yan'an turned to look at the enormous, seemingly endless Demon Mountain and sighed inwardly. He was amazed at what he had gained from his visit to Demon Sound Mountain. The Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance had increased his Mental Power Amplitude to over 6,500, while many Spirit Reader' normal limit was only 100.

"Overall, this journey of inheritance can be considered a complete success!" Although he was tricked by the Demon Sound God General in the end and did not receive the "Final Candidate" reward, the journey to Demon Mountain was relatively smooth. Not only did he complete the task of collecting 10,000 Black Token on the way back, but he even reached the 6553rd step of inheritance!

"If Domain Lord -level expert could come and receive the inheritance, I should be able to get the Final Candidate reward. What a pity!" Lu Yan'an said with some regret. "However, if it's Domain Lord- level expert, I'm not qualified to carry out this mission. I'll have to be sent to Universe Country as a regional governor. Well, all in all, it's still a win!"

Every sip and every bite is governed by fate. It's impossible for one person to have all the advantages; that's unrealistic.

As Lu Yan'an gazed at Demon Sound Mountain and sighed inwardly, a small team of Silver-robed Deacon swiftly flew over from afar.

"Your Highness!"

"Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an!" As soon as the group of Silver-robed Deacon flew over, they immediately bowed respectfully, with Silver-robed Deacon of them saying, "Congratulations on Your Highness's departure from Demon Sound Mountain."

"Mm." Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Please follow us, Your Highness." The group of Silver-robed Deacon dared not be negligent in the slightest. Recently, there had only been one prince, Lu Yan'an, in the Demon Sound Mountain. He was the most distinguished person among those who came to the Demon Mountain Trial.

The Silver-robed Deacon respectfully led Lu Yan'an toward the palace complex at the foot of Demon Mountain.

"Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an!" A figure in black robes flew over swiftly.

"Oh, it's you?" Lu Yan'an recognized the black-robed youth in front of him at a glance. He was the immortal guide who had sent him to the Demon Mountain eight years ago.

"Your Highness emerged safely from Demon Sound Mountain after eight long years; that's truly remarkable," the black-robed man said with a touch of admiration. This Demon Mountain had buried the bones and blood of countless geniuses, and to emerge alive from within Demon Mountain with Universe Level strength was something this black-robed guide genuinely found extraordinary about Lu Yan'an!

"It's alright, I've been through quite a few dangers! And thankfully, the preparations were very thorough." Lu Yan'an grinned, clearly very happy. "By the way, where do we collect the reward for gathering 10,000 Black Token?"

"10,000 Black Token?" The black-robed immortal looked at Lu Yan'an in shock. "Your Highness actually collected 10,000 Black Token during your eight-year mission in Demon Mountain?" You must know that Demon Sound Mountain is the location of "Desperate Level Mission". Even if you are lucky, you will encounter the World Lord's natives and World Lord's Phantom Beast after staying for eight years.

Ultimately, all the questions surrounding the immortal black robe could only be reduced to sighs.

Without asking any further questions, the black-robed immortal continued, "Your Highness, because you obtained 10,000 Black Token, you will naturally receive a huge reward. This huge reward will be personally given to you by the 'King Niming' stationed here by our Virtual Universe Company. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform him. Please wait quietly for the King Niming to come and receive you."

"Understood." Lu Yan'an nodded.

Watching the immortal in black robes depart, Lu Yan'an was secretly astonished. "'King Niming'? What an imposing name! He must be an Invincible King!"

In the original timeline, the powerful figure from the Virtual Universe Company stationed in Demon Mountain is "King Tianyu," an Invincible King expert. Given his qualifications to be stationed in Demon Mountain, he must also be an Invincible King!
