Although Xu Yang was thrilled, he still had some doubts. Carefully, he asked the Cloud Forest Tree King, "May I ask, senior Tree King, what requirements did that great expert from the Spirit Realm set? Why am I the only one who qualifies? And why did that senior leave his inheritance ahead of time? So many years have passed—has he never returned?"
The Cloud Forest Tree King sighed at Xu Yang's questions. "That senior was one of the top experts in the Spirit Realm, and the head of his clan. He was called Ancestor Pan Wang. Ordinarily, nothing should have happened to him. But in ancient times, a great upheaval plunged the Spirit Realm into chaos, and he disappeared. Even his entire clan was wiped out. I fear he met with disaster."
"As for his requirements for an heir, first, you must possess his token. Second, it's best to have a Void Spirit Root, because it has great potential for development and suits the senior's cultivation technique."
"I see. But I don't have that senior's token! Why did you decide I was the one, senior Tree King?" Xu Yang asked, his face full of confusion.
The Cloud Forest Tree King glared at Xu Yang. "Who said you don't have the token? The Heaven-Slaying Sword in your dantian is the token."

The Cloud Forest Tree King was stunned. It hadn't expected Xu Yang to obtain the Heaven-Slaying Sword so easily. It was truly unbelievable. With a sigh, it said, "This must be Heaven's will. You obtained the Heaven-Slaying Sword
