On the Tournament Square stood the ten thousand geniuses qualified to remain in the Eastern Domain Great World, along with the five hundred top talents who had earned the chance to receive special cultivation and enter Dongdi Tower to inherit its legacies.
The Green-Robed Woman looked down at the geniuses and smiled.
"The Eastern Domain Tournament has come to a successful conclusion."
"From this day onward, the paths you little ones walk will no longer be ordinary."
"As the finest new generation of Cosmic Level geniuses our Eastern Domain has produced in ten thousand years, you will receive excellent cultivation and instruction in the Eastern Domain Great World."
"What you must do is strive, venture forth, and fight with all your might. Work hard to grow from geniuses into the strong."
"Work hard. Your paths to strength have only just begun. I look forward to the day when one of you stands shoulder to shoulder with me!"
Feng Hui turned to look at White Dragon beside him, a glint in his eyes.
At present, White Dragon had relied on his higher Life Gene Level to defeat Feng Hui and claim first place in the Eastern Domain Tournament.
But this hadn't made Feng Hui feel discouraged. Instead, it had only further stoked the fighting spirit in his heart.
The Green-Robed Venerable was right. Their paths to strength had only just begun.
Feng Hui couldn't beat White Dragon now, but that might not always be the case.
No matter how strong White Dragon's father was, he could help him for a time, but not for a lifetime.
In the end, the path to strength depended on oneself!
In the heart of the Eastern Domain Great World stood an ancient, mysterious tower.
It soared into the clouds, seemingly reaching the heavens. The marks of time seemed etched into its body, bearing witness to countless storms and snows.
The tower's outline appeared and vanished amid the swirling clouds and mist, like a sleeping giant—silent and imposing.
Its peak pierced the clouds, as though it were a bridge connecting the heavens and earth of the Eastern Domain Great World. One couldn't help but revere the power this tower contained.
The entire tower radiated an otherworldly aura. It was the guardian of the Eastern Domain, as well as a witness to history.
"Everyone, before you stands the supreme treasure passed down through my Dongdi Clan: Dongdi Tower."
A White-robed Man stood before the tower, smiling as he addressed the five hundred geniuses who had come to receive an inheritance.
His white robes fluttered in the wind. They seemed ordinary, yet his presence made them appear extraordinary and otherworldly.
The man's aura surged like raging waves. Even in his utter silence, he made those around him feel oppressed, as though the one standing before them were no mortal, but a lofty deity. His very existence was a silent expression of immense power.
"You may already know a little about Dongdi Tower, but I'll still give you an introduction."
"Dongdi Tower contains twenty-nine Heritage Halls. Each one holds countless inheritances that lead to the pinnacle."
"These Heritage Halls fall into two main categories: 'laws' and 'application.'"
The White-robed Man explained, "The Law Heritage Halls all begin with the Universe Origin Law and analyze and explain the Mysteries of Laws in their entirety. There are eleven halls: Time, Space, Space-Time, Gold-Space Fusion, Wood Space Fusion, Water Space Fusion, Fire-Space Fusion, Earth-Space Fusion, Wind-Time Fusion, Thunder Time Fusion, and Light Time Fusion."
"The Application Heritage Halls are divided into three main fields: soul, matter, and research. There are eighteen halls, including those for illusion, Soul Attack, sword, saber, axe, and staff inheritances... as well as the halls for potion-making, treasure refining, and the Secret Pattern Diagram inheritance..."
"I must tell you that among these twenty-nine Heritage Halls, the Halls of 'Time' and 'Space' attract the most people and are the easiest to make progress in at first. They also produce more ordinary experts."
"However, the inheritances in these two halls are the shallowest and most rudimentary of all twenty-nine, and their potential is limited. Those who follow them will need to switch to other inheritances later on."
"Besides the Halls of 'Time' and 'Space,' the paths indicated by the other halls have great potential, but they are also much more difficult. If your talent is insufficient, you may end up wasting your years, and achieve less than you would have by choosing the 'Time' or 'Space' halls."
"That's all I have to say. How you weigh your options and what you choose is up to you."
"Here are detailed introductions to all twenty-nine Heritage Halls. Take the time to study them."
"Based on your own judgment, choose the Heritage Hall that suits you best. This choice will shape the paths you little ones follow in your cultivation from now on, and may even determine your futures. Think carefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, five hundred balls of light containing detailed information about the twenty-nine Heritage Halls inside Dongdi Tower flew directly into the minds of the five hundred geniuses.
Each of the twenty-nine Heritage Halls had its own wonders and mysteries, opening Feng Hui and the other geniuses' eyes.
Feng Hui was secretly astonished.
As expected of a Holy Land Universe that had existed for who knew how long. There were so many paths for geniuses to choose from.
The path of potion-making, for instance, was a minor path in the Prime Universe. It was an obscure field, and one in which it was difficult to achieve much.
Yet here, potion-making also had an inheritance that led to the pinnacle.
The Secret Pattern Diagram path was another example. Since the Prime Universe had come into being, no one had ever walked that path.
Only later, guided by Mountain Guest, had Luo Feng successfully explored the Secret Pattern Diagram cultivation path in the Beast God Realm of the Stellar Beast Ancestor.
Yet in Dongdi Tower, within this Holy Land Universe, there was an entire Secret Pattern Heritage Hall, containing who knew how many profound paths of Secret Pattern Diagram inheritance.
As expected of a Holy Land Universe that existed eternally.
Even now, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe had several True Gods and hundreds of Universe Masters, not to mention the legacies left behind by generations of Dongdi Clan experts over who knew how many Reincarnation Eras.
In the Prime Universe, the strong had been slow to emerge at first, because cultivation paths were still being explored. Secret arts and inheritances still had to be created and refined. As time went on, the efficiency of nurturing experts continually improved.
But when a Reincarnation Era ended, many cultivation paths and secret arts were buried in the Great Destruction of the Prime Universe.
Even in the small universes entrusted to True Gods, many inheritances would vanish when their universes were destroyed after three Reincarnation Eras.
The Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe was different. It had no limit of three Reincarnation Eras, and its inheritances could be accumulated and refined throughout the endless passage of time.
Even the Divine Eye Clan of the First Reincarnation Era had obtained a complete ancient inheritance. Their combat style had also been that of a powerful civilization.
Moreover, Luo Feng had discovered the remains of ancient experts while adventuring in the Cosmic Sea. In Jiefanzi's treasure trove, he had obtained the Water-Fire Origin secret art created by Jiefanzi, an expert with top-tier tenth-level combat strength.
The Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe had existed in the Cosmic Sea for who knew how many Reincarnation Eras, and its experts often ventured beyond its borders. It was no surprise that it had obtained some ancient inheritances.
Many powerful cultivation paths and inheritances born in different Reincarnation Eras had been gathered in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.
Even inheritances from top-tier tenth-level True Gods, like the Space-Time Path passed down by the Cosmic Emperor, should be plentiful in Dongdi Tower.
That was the foundation of a Holy Land Universe!
