Lin Yuan was receiving the inheritance in the Inheritance Chamber, completely immersed in it, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.
Two months later, fifteen people remained in the Inheritance Chamber.
Half a year later, eight remained.
After a year, Lin Yuan was the only one left in the Inheritance Chamber.
Lin Yuan had made it to the nineteenth island of the Illusion Sea, so the pressure in the Inheritance Chamber barely affected him.
"Oh? It's already been over a year, and someone still hasn't come out this time." The Green-Robed Elder murmured to himself. "Let's see how long this little fellow can last. It's been a long time since anyone spent ten years comprehending the first layer."
Time trickled by: three years, five years—
At times, Lin Yuan stared at the Crystal Holy Stele, lost in thought. At others, he pored over the Sacred Illusion Moon Secret Canon, contemplating its contents, or murmured to himself.
He had only recently begun learning illusion Secret Techniques, and he deeply treasured the chance to receive an inheritance of this caliber.
The Golden Soul Fruit's effects had also become apparent. Lin Yuan could feel that he had encountered almost no bottlenecks while receiving this illusion inheritance.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan had spent nine years comprehending the inheritance in the Inheritance Chamber. He was close to fully understanding the first layer.
One day, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped.
The first layer isn't difficult for me. I'll understand it completely soon, Lin Yuan thought. But if I really do, an Immortal Expert will probably come and take me as a disciple.
Then I'll surely attract attention and become a focus of scrutiny. The risk is too great, and it may be hard to leave later.
*I'll stop here for now.
