West Sea Inheritance Grounds.
Many cultivators were very interested in this place.
Because once one passed the first trial inside, there would indeed be a reward.
The rewards were tailored to each cultivator's own circumstances.
They suited one's current cultivation far better than the opportunities one had painstakingly sought while treasure hunting.
Those wishing to break through a minor realm received a sliver of opportunity for enlightenment.
Those wanting a protective artifact received sharp golden blades and swords meant for slaughter.
Some cultivators had little lifespan remaining and happened to receive a pill that extended their lives.
Though it could not add hundreds or thousands of years to one's lifespan, it was still better than bitterly awaiting the end of one's years and watching one's cultivation dissolve into nothing.
These rewards came in all varieties.
They made many cultivators' hearts burn and their eyes grow hot.
Moreover, some among them were highly cautious and waited for a time.
After seeing others emerge and use the rewards they had obtained inside without suffering any misfortune or other ill effects, they finally used theirs with confidence.
"This place is called the Inheritance Grounds. Surely it does not conceal some hidden scheme, does it? Those earlier claims about Providence were nothing but utter nonsense."
"Exactly. It is such a fine place. Though it carries the danger of death, that is ultimately a hurdle on one's path of cultivation. No one else can be blamed for that. But to compare it to the Eight Wastelands? They cannot be mentioned in the same breath."
"I went in too. No Cause and Effect clung to me. It is different from the Eight Wastelands."
"I have been to the Eight Wastelands. This truly is an Inheritance Grounds..."
The tide of opinion quietly shifted.
