The Inheritance Ground? Where's the Inheritance??

As the last door opened.

Zhao Ting was the first to walk out of the Azure Willow Labyrinth. He glanced around, saw no one else, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

First!

What was strength?

This was strength.

He wondered how that guy Zhang Yun was doing.

As he thought this, another figure emerged—Lin Hao.

Soon after, all seven people emerged one after another.

Everyone was here.

At the director team's command, the old man playing Ling'er instantly appeared before them.

"Not bad. Nine of you actually managed to reach the third trial."

A hoarse voice slowly rang out. After sweeping his gaze across the nine of them, Ling'er spoke.

Nine people?

Had the others been eliminated?

Or had they died?

At that thought, Zhao Ting's smile widened.

Unfortunately, before he could finish smiling, Ling'er's voice rang out again.

"They have been eliminated and will automatically be expelled from the secret realm."

So they had been expelled.

He had celebrated for nothing.

Zhao Ting's smile froze, but when he thought of Zhang Yun being eliminated, he still felt rather pleased.

"The third trial is also the final trial. As long as you pass it, you will have a chance to obtain the inheritance."

"This trial differs from the first two. It mainly tests whether you are compatible with the master."

The phantom flickered in and out of view, continuously changing positions before them, with obvious lag.

Testing their compatibility with the inheritance's master?

Those who paid attention had already turned their eyes toward the stone pillar in the distance.

The pillar looked utterly plain, without even a single mysterious pattern.

It should be a valuable treasure.

"You may go up and try. As long as the light reaches nine bars, you may enter the next trial."

"Those who fail to reach nine bars will be eliminated."

Standing beside the stone pillar, Ling'er quietly waited for the first brave person to undergo the test.

To be honest, there was no suspense at all. He did not have much enthusiasm when explaining it.

The director team and the audience all knew the final result.

There would be no surprises whatsoever.

But the nine of them did not know.

They were nervous!

Seeing how nervous they were made the livestream comments want to laugh.

The comments wanted to laugh, and so did the production team.

"I'll go."

A very thin-looking man was the first to step out from the crowd and walk toward the stone pillar.

He did not look very familiar.

Lin Hao could not even remember what he looked like.

He watched as the man reached out to touch the stone pillar, then prepared to close his eyes...

"Eliminated."

Before he could close his eyes and carefully sense it, Senior Ling'er directly declared him eliminated.

In his view, reaching out and then closing his eyes was truly a waste of time.

He was eliminated just like that?

Wasn't that too childish?

Thin mist appeared, and with a cry of alarm, the frail man vanished.

"Next."

The phantom waved away the mist before it, and its voice rang out once more.

Who would go?

This was way too thrilling.

One touch decided everything.

"I'll go."

Shen Yunfei volunteered. To be honest, he was rather tired—not just mentally, but physically as well. The sooner it ended, the sooner he could leave.

He reached out, and the verdict came.

It happened in one smooth motion.

In less than a second, light from the massive pillar shot into the sky.

He had passed?

So where were these nine bars?

"Congratulations. You have a high degree of compatibility with the master and may enter the inheritance ground."

With Shen Yunfei's success, the remaining people also reached out one after another.

"Eliminated!"

"Eliminated!"

"Passed!"

The phantom's voice gradually became devoid of emotion as it coldly recited those two words.

When the mist completely dispersed.

Only three people remained in the spacious area.

Lin Hao, Mo Yuan, and Shen Yunfei.

That was right.

They were the top three in the audience vote rankings.

All that could be said was that Azure Mountain Sect was awesome!

"Congratulations on obtaining the qualifications to enter the inheritance ground. I hope you gain something from it."

The phantom's voice grew softer and softer before becoming completely inaudible. As its voice vanished, so did the phantom.

The three looked at one another.

That was it???

They did not know what to say.

Should they go take a look at the path ahead first?

The three traveled together toward the small bridge ahead.

They stepped onto the bridge.

Waves of chill washed over them. In the darkness, it seemed as though something was calling their names.

"Lin Hao~~~"

"Shen Yunfei~~~"

"Mo Yuan~~~"

Yes, that was right—it was the sound system.

The production team was simply trying to enhance the atmosphere.

There was even a sword pool!

As far as the eye could see, there were longswords everywhere.

"There's a stone wall over there."

Lin Hao looked into the distance and spotted a stone wall there.

A stone wall?

Another stone wall?

Surely they would not have to sit cross-legged before a stone wall again, meditate for days, and finally comprehend the inheritance?

"This should be different from before. This place gives me a very strange feeling, but I can't explain it."

As the only cultivator among them, Lin Hao's senses were much sharper. He frowned as he spoke.

Then they continued deeper inside.

The farther in they went, the more of these so-called stone walls there were.

They were like blades embedded in the ground.

It was breathtaking!

Utterly breathtaking!

Seeing these things in person made for an even more amazing visual experience.

Worthy of being an inheritance ground.

"This inheritance ground is so large. Where exactly is the inheritance?"

Lin Hao stood before a longsword, his brows slightly furrowed as he pondered the so-called inheritance.

According to Senior Ling'er, everything within the inheritance ground depended on themselves.

But how were they supposed to rely on themselves?

[By the way, what exactly is the inheritance the production team prepared? Why can't I see anything at all?]

[I can't see it either. Could it be the swords in the sword pool? Or the words on the stone walls?]

[Maybe the production team has something even deeper that we haven't understood?]

[That makes sense. By the way, why is Zhang Yun still in the illusion? If he doesn't come out soon, he'll be having children!]

[I feel like there might be some huge technological achievement involved in this inheritance, like chip implants, memory replacement, or something.]

The livestream comments were filled with all sorts of speculation.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the production team's setup for the inheritance ground.

Anything produced by the team had to be top-notch.

Director team: ...

At that moment, inside the director's room.

There was silence.

Not only were they silent—even Gu Yuan, standing to one side, was silent.

This was absurd!

Just now, the person in charge of the props team had come over and confessed the problem with the inheritance ground in front of everyone.

What inheritance ground?

They had forgotten to set up the inheritance at all!

The current inheritance ground, aside from those strange-looking props, had the most inheritance potential in the three of them themselves, since they were all still capable of reproducing.

A major production blunder!

This was the first mistake in the entire Cultivation World Show variety program.

The director was smoking.

The other staff members were whispering among themselves.

What should they do?

Just as the production team was worrying, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the livestream.

"I know! I know what the inheritance is!"

It was Shen Yunfei. He laughed loudly, as though he had realized something.

What did he know?

The director team stared blankly at the screen. Lin Hao and Mo Yuan were also completely confused.
