The Great Emperor Devouring's smile froze.
Why are all these little guys like this?
Am I really that scary-looking?
Although the body had decayed due to the passage of time, his obsessive appearance had also aged.
Even if you get old, you shouldn't look like a ghost, right?
When the Great Emperor Devouring young, he was one of the most handsome men in the world!
Upon hearing Lin Shan's words, Ji Zining slapped Lin Shan on the head.
" Lin Shan, what are you saying? This is the Great Emperor Devouring, a senior who says he wants to pass on his legacy to you. Aren't you going to answer him?"
Lin Shan was jolted back to reality by the slap, a look of shock on his face.
"Devouring... Great Emperor?! Great Emperor- level expert?!"
As he spoke, Lin Shan suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the hunched-over Great Emperor Devouring in front of him.
Is this old man Great Emperor level expert?
And this powerful Great Emperor just said he would pass on his legacy to him?!
Recalling this, Lin Shan was completely stunned.
The Great Emperor is going to pass on his legacy to him?
He had just grasped the power of the perfected realm when a powerful Great Emperor approached him, offering to pass on his legacy?
Is there really such a good thing?
The Great Emperor Devouring regained his composure and put on a kind smile again.
"Little one, I'll ask you one more time: are you willing to accept my legacy?"
"With my legacy, your future will be even more limitless than it is now!"
Lin Shan suddenly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes! This junior is willing to accept the legacy passed down from my senior!"
The Great Emperor Devouring nodded in satisfaction.
"To receive my legacy requires enduring unparalleled..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Shan's voice rang out again, filled with excitement and indifference.
"Senior, there's no need for further words. I can endure any amount of pain. Senior, let's not delay any longer, come and pass on the inheritance!"
His eyes were filled with determination as he spoke.
What is mere suffering compared to obtaining the Great Emperor's inheritance?
Cultivation is equally arduous, requiring one to endure all sorts of dangers and crises; hasn't he been cultivating all along, just like everyone else?
The Great Emperor Devouring, interrupted, showed no displeasure; on the contrary, he revealed an amused expression.
"It's good that you're so prepared. Come with me into the cabin. I hope you can still be this tough later."
"After all, my lineage is quite extraordinary."
At this point, the Great Emperor Devouring chuckled softly at Ji Zining.
"If you wish to continue, then cross the rock face at the end of the valley; that leads to the next place."
After saying that, the Great Emperor Devouring did not linger and walked towards the wooden house.
Lin Shan smiled at Ji Zining and the others, then quickly followed.
He wanted to see just how extraordinary this tradition truly was!
The more unusual something was, the more excited he became!
"Creak!"
The door to the wooden house closed, causing Ji Zining and the others to turn their attention away.
Xiao Jing scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"That was... the Great Emperor's inheritance to Lin Shan?"
He had just finished his reflection when he heard Lin Shan's exclamation, and it wasn't until now that he came to his senses.
Ji Zining nodded.
"Indeed, the tea we just drank was a gift from that senior."
"Our breakthrough in spiritual power this time is all thanks to that senior."
Upon hearing Ji Zining mention this, the joy on Li Chang'an's face returned.
"That's right. I never expected to be able to comprehend the Law of the Sword this time."
"After that, my breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor is practically a foregone conclusion!"
The Law of the Sword!
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Xiao Jing's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"You've grasped the Law of the Sword?"
He originally thought that raising his power of intent to the perfect level was already a huge improvement, but now it seems that his improvement was still too small!
Li Chang'an nodded smugly at Xiao Jing.
"Of course, would I lie to you?"
After speaking, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and an unparalleled sharpness emerged from his fingertips.
Sensing the sharpness of Li Chang'an's fingertips, Xiao Jing's eyes revealed a hint of amazement.
"It truly is the power of the Law of the Sword! Congratulations, Li Chang'an. Your strength is now probably greater than mine."
After saying this, Xiao Jing's face showed a look of emotion.
This time, Qingshuang was the first to receive the inheritance of a Great Emperor, and now Lin Shan has received the inheritance of another Great Emperor.
Li Chang'an, like him, did not receive any inheritance upon entering, has now also comprehended the power of laws at the Quasi-Emperor level, greatly increasing his strength.
This time, he was the one whose strength improved the least when he entered the Ancient Chaos Graveyard.
Xiao Jing was not jealous, just a little emotional.
Temporary strength is only temporary; true strength is sustained strength!
Seeing the change in Xiao Jing's expression, Li Chang'an quickly waved his hand.
"It's nothing more than the Law of the Sword. Fellow Daoist Xiao Jing, your combat strength at the same realm has always been stronger than mine."
"Hasn't your power of intent already reached the perfect level? With your comprehension, you'll definitely be able to comprehend the power of laws very soon."
"Then I'll have to catch up again."
Xiao Jing sensed the goodwill in Li Chang'an's words and patted Li Chang'an on the shoulder.
"No, don't try to comfort me. I'm not jealous of you. Don't worry, I'll definitely surpass you soon!"
After spending the last two days with him, he has come to accept this guy who has a slip of the tongue and likes to talk nonsense.
In other words, they should be considered partners now.
Ji Zining glanced at the two of them and smiled gently.
These two guys are actually comforting each other; their relationship is heating up quite quickly.
Recalling the words of the Great Emperor Devouring, Ji Zining looked toward the end of the valley.
There was nothing there, just a rock face.
In the words of the Great Emperor Devouring, passing through that rock wall would lead to the next burial chamber.
With her divine soul power surging forth, Ji Zining probed the rock wall.
Finally, she was surprised to find that, under her spiritual perception, the rock wall was completely real, with nothing fake about it.
The Great Emperor Devouring's words couldn't possibly be false; it just meant that the gap between her and a Great Emperor was still too great.
Perhaps the illusion on the rock wall was casually set up by a powerful Great Emperor, but for her, it was completely impossible to detect anything.
Withdrawing her divine soul power, Ji Zining waved to Xiao Jing and Li Chang'an.
"Stop chatting, it's time to get down to business. Qingshuang and Lin Shan are both receiving their inheritances; we also need to go and find our own opportunities."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and Li Chang'an exchanged a glance and then nodded solemnly.
Next, led by Ji Zining, the three of them arrived at the rock wall at the end of the valley.
Staring at the rock wall before her, Ji Zining tentatively reached out her palm.
"Buzz!"
With a soft sound, Ji Zining's hand disappeared into the rock wall.
Upon seeing this, Ji Zining a strange expression.
She felt as if her hand had detached from her body, yet she could still clearly feel its presence.
This is... the power of space!
Spatial misalignment!
I see!
Ji Zining finally understood the structure of the rock wall.
This rock wall is a real rock wall, just like the ones she had investigated before; it is not fake.
The only difference is that within this rock wall lies a spatial power that surpasses Quasi-Emperor level!
It was this spatial force that made this originally ordinary rock wall extraordinary.
Having figured it out, Ji Zining didn't hesitate at all. She took a step forward, and her entire body disappeared into the rock wall.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing and Li Chang'an followed closely behind and disappeared into the rock face.
The three disappeared into the rock face, and the Silent Valley of Silence returned to the silence that its name implied.
