The Inheritance Appears! Three Trials? The Ten-Thousand-Weight Heart-Refining Array!
Many people watched intently.
Before long, the runes at the point of spatial anomaly were seen to intertwine and eventually coalesce into a colossal gate a hundred feet tall in the sky.
"Boom!"
The moment the giant gate appeared, a terrifying aura erupted from within it.
In addition, countless star trails and ancient runes were engraved on that giant gate, its imposing aura sending shivers down one's spine.
Upon seeing the portal appear, all the Cultivator present were thrilled.
Now, everyone can see that the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance has truly appeared.
"Is this... the entrance to the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance?"
"The gates are wide open, the legacy is passed down to the present!"
"What a fortuitous opportunity!"
"If I could obtain this Heavenly Monarch Inheritance, wouldn't I have a chance to become Heavenly Monarch in the future?"
"Ha ha!"
"Heaven has blessed us!"
"..."
In an instant, the many Cultivators were filled with excitement.
Many of them came just to join in the fun, and before they came, they didn't believe that the so-called Heavenly Monarch Inheritance had actually appeared in the world.
After all, there are just too many rumors like this.
But now, seeing this strange phenomenon in the sky, I realize that the rumors were true!
The Heavenly Monarch Inheritance has truly manifested in this world!
"The fortuitous opportunity is right in front of us, let's go!"
Amidst the shock, it was unclear who was the first to shout.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Then, streaks of light shot up through the air and flew straight toward the enormous portal.
They rushed forward one after another, seemingly afraid of falling behind.
Chen Changqing saw this, his expression calm, and muttered softly:
"Even if it truly is the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance, how could it be so easily obtained by anyone?"
"There will inevitably be a series of tests, and only those who pass them will be able to receive the true inheritance."
Earlier, Chen Changqing had participated in the Heavenly Question Chess Game.
The Heavenly Question Chess Game is a test left by the Old Man Heavenly Question. Only by solving the Heavenly Question Chess Game can one be qualified to receive the Old Man Heavenly Question's inheritance.
This attracted countless Cultivators to participate.
Even Chen Changqing's martial uncle, the White-Clad Spear King Bai Wuya, was involved.
Unfortunately, even with Bai Wuya's cultivation at the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch level, he was unable to solve the Heavenly Question Chess Game.
Chen Changqing stumbled upon the Heavenly Question Chess Game by accident and ultimately succeeded in obtaining the inheritance of the Old Man Heavenly Question.
Obtain the Immortal-Burying Melody Cultivation Method and the Immortal Artifact, the Immortal-Burying Zither.
Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Chen Ye nodded in agreement, finding Chen Changqing's words to be very reasonable.
"Brother Changqing is absolutely right."
"Obtaining the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance is certainly not that simple; it's not something that can be achieved simply by whoever rushes into the Secret Realm first."
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
Before long, the many Cultivators were originally present rushed into the huge portal.
Seeing that most people had gone inside, Chen Ye quickly looked at Chen Changqing and said:
"Brother Changqing, let's go in too!"
"Good."
Chen Changqing gave a curt reply.
Without further ado, the three of them leaped into the air and quickly rushed into the enormous portal of light.
As soon as they entered the portal, the scene before them suddenly changed.
They found themselves in a strange, vast, and seemingly boundless space.
Beneath their feet lay a warm, smooth white jade floor, and above them stretched a dome shimmering with starlight, all enveloped in an ancient Spiritual Qi.
Where is this place?
"It must be a Secret Realm, right?"
"So, the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance might be hidden within this Secret Realm?"
"Are we supposed to go find it ourselves?"
"..."
Many Cultivator were filled with suspicion.
Chen Changqing looked around, and before he could think further, a majestic voice suddenly echoed from the void:
"No noise allowed in this place of heritage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light and shadow distorted in the void not far away.
Upon closer inspection, a figure slowly emerged.
This person was about three zhang tall, and his entire body was made of some kind of dark golden metal. The lines of his body were extremely smooth, and there were runes flashing at his joints.
After a quick glance, many people present noticed it.
The figure that suddenly appeared was not a living being, but a Humanoid Puppet!
In particular, two deep blue crystals seemed to be embedded in the eyes of this Humanoid Puppet, appearing dazzling and profound.
"Oh?"
A puppet?
"Could it be that the owner of this place of inheritance left it here?"
Chen Changqing glanced at the Humanoid Puppet and muttered to himself.
Just then, the Humanoid Puppet's gaze swept over all the Cultivator present, and then it spoke in a cold voice:
"To obtain my lord's legacy, one must pass three trials."
Those who resort to opportunism and charlatanry shall be executed.
"Next, we will proceed with the First Trial of selection."
As the Humanoid Puppet spoke, all the Cultivator were bewildered and at a loss.
"This?"
"Do I still need to pass three trials to obtain the inheritance?"
"You have so many requirements!"
"After all, it's Heavenly Monarch- level inheritance; how could it be obtained so easily?"
"I wonder what the three trials will consist of?"
Is it a test of strength or character?
"..."
Just as many Cultivators were speculating, the Humanoid Puppet didn't hesitate and swung its huge metal arm.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, countless complex patterns suddenly lit up on the originally flat white jade ground in front of them.
Strange power emanated from those patterns.
In just a few moments, these forces intertwined and formed a giant array covering an area of a thousand feet in radius.
At this moment, light flashed from within the formation, emanating a heavy pressure that targeted the soul, Spiritual Power, and physical body from all angles.
Although many Cultivators were outside the formation, they all felt a sense of oppression at this moment.
The Humanoid Puppet remained unfazed, speaking indifferently:
"The First Trial is stepping into this formation."
"Endure the Ten-Thousand-Weight Heart-Refining Array for the duration of an incense stick burning."
Those who cannot persevere, those who leave the formation's range, or those who lose their composure will all be eliminated!
"If you're ready, you can enter the battle!"
"Anyone who fails to enter the formation within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn will be considered eliminated."
After the Humanoid Puppet's explanation, the many Cultivator present immediately understood.
After a brief delay, a Cultivator took the lead and flew out, directly entering the Ten-Thousand-Weight Heart-Refining Array.
"Isn't it just a test of strength and mentality?"
"Rush!"
"I will definitely pass this First Trial!"
"..."
Immediately afterwards, more and more Cultivator rushed into the great formation.
Chen Changqing saw this and remained calm.
"Changqing, shall we enter the battle?"
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu asked with a slightly wary look.
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said, "Since we're here, there's no reason for us to step into this formation."
Without further ado, he took the lead and flew into the Ten-Thousand-Weight Heart-Refining Array.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Chen Ye did not delay and followed closely behind Chen Changqing.
