Land of Inheritance.
When Lin An's vision returned, Li Meng and the others were no longer there.
"I was just wasting my time; it was a random teleportation."
Helpless, Lin An looked around.
He was in a state of chaos, surrounded by emptiness, with nothing around him.
Just as Lin An was wondering what to do next, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, followed by the appearance of an old man with a white beard.
"Young friend, I am Li Yang." The old man stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at Lin An.
Li Yang?
Lin An was startled. This was none other than the Immortal Array Master from the Li Clan, and a powerful being at the Immortal Realm.
It is said that the other party has already perished, so what appears before him now is most likely a projection of that party.
Although it might just be a projection, Lin An dared not be careless.
"Junior Lin An greets Senior Li Yang." Lin An bowed and said.
"Young friend, there's no need to be so polite. This is merely a wisp of my consciousness left behind in this Land of Inheritance."
"Although you are not a member of the Li Clan, since you have been able to enter this place and possess an order to be an honored guest of the Li Clan, you must have done a great favor for the Li Clan."
"I know why you've come, young friend. If you can pass my test, you will naturally receive my inheritance."
Li Yang smiled and said, "Young friend, are you ready?"
"Please enlighten me, senior." Lin An bowed again.
Li Yang nodded, then waved his hand, and countless Dao of Formations runes instantly appeared in the previously empty void.
"These are all Dao of Formations runes that I once mastered. Some were created by my predecessors, and some were created by myself."
Li Yang said, "This test will assess your fundamentals. These Dao of Formations runes are incomplete, and you need to piece them together. If you can form ten functional arrays, you will pass this test."
"I will certainly do my utmost," Lin An said.
Li Yang smiled and nodded, then drifted away.
Lin An's gaze also fell upon the Dao of Formations runes around him, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
The other party did not set a time limit, but Lin An knew that the sooner he completed the test, the better.
This is only the first hurdle; there will inevitably be more tests to come, and the Land of Inheritance will only be open for six months.
To obtain the Immortal inheritance, one must complete all the trials within six months, which is why the other party did not limit the time for this stage.
Lin An moved his divine sense and swept it over the broken Dao of Formations runes.
He recognized some of the runes, but others remained obscure and difficult to understand.
He also tried to repair the runes, but a strange force was preventing him from doing so.
"It seems the only way to piece together the formation is from these fragmented runes."
Lin An sat down cross-legged and then opened the control panel.
[Formation Master]: Sovereign Rank 0/1 billion attribute points.
"First, max out my array mastery level." Lin An immediately spent one billion attribute points.
[You have consumed 1 billion attribute points; your Array Master proficiency has reached the Sovereign Rank cap.]
As the system's voice sounded, a large amount of information about Sovereign Rank array masters flooded into his mind.
After a while, Lin An processed this information and a smile appeared on his face.
He was only at the level of a beginner -Sovereign Rank array master just now, but now he can be considered a top-tier Sovereign Rank array master.
At this moment, as he looked at the runes again, a series of flashes of inspiration struck him.
These runes appeared in his mind, and then he began to combine them.
After sitting there for three days, Lin An finally took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
"This test is quite difficult. Although there are hundreds of millions of runes, most of them, which appear to be just broken, are actually unusable."
"There are only about a million usable runes, and among these million runes, we must consider the changes that occur to different runes after they are damaged."
"The test involves assembling ten operational arrays using these runes; in reality, at most fifteen arrays can be assembled."
This step wasn't difficult; the most important thing was having a solid foundation and being meticulous. Even Lin An spent three days organizing these runes.
The next instant, Lin An waved his hand, and a large number of runes were dispersed to the distance, leaving only the million useful runes.
Then Lin An waved his hand again, and the million runes flew around before gathering together.
Buzzing...
In less than a quarter of an hour, a ray of light rose, and the first array began to operate under the glow of the runes.
Immediately afterwards, one formation after another appeared, and in just about half an hour, fifteen formations appeared before our eyes.
These fifteen formations range from small-scale Spirit Gathering Formation to Sovereign Rank formations.
After these formations were completed, Li Yang's figure reappeared.
The other party did not speak to Lin An, but instead looked around at the fifteen formations with surprise.
"Young friend, your mastery of formations is probably among the top tier of the Sovereign Rank. Even when I was at the Sovereign Rank, I couldn't have achieved such speed."
After a long while, Li Yang finally stood before Lin An and exclaimed in amazement.
"Has this junior passed the test?" Lin An asked with a smile.
"Of course it passed, and you were the first one to pass, young friend."
Li Yang said, "Young friend, would you like to rest for a while, or continue to the next test?"
"Let's continue," Lin An said. After obtaining the Immortal Dao of Formations inheritance, he would need to seize the time to cultivate.
After all, he is different from other Sovereign Realm; his lifespan is only five hundred years, so he needs to break through to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible to break this Lifespan Shackles.
"Alright, in that case, let's begin the second test."
"This second challenge tests your patience, young friend."
As Li Yang spoke, he waved his hand, and the scene before Lin An changed, appearing in a city.
As for Li Yang, he has already disappeared.
"Testing patience?"
Lin An frowned, surveying the city before him.
The city was quite prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets and vendors calling out their wares.
"Master Lin An, you're here."
Suddenly a voice rang out, and a man appeared in a hurry.
"Who are you..."
Lin An raised an eyebrow. This man was quite strong, having reached the Sovereign Realm Seventh Grade.
"Master, I am Shen Wang, the garrison general of Azure Cloud City."
Shen Wang's expression turned anxious again as he spoke, "Master Lin An, recently there have been some problems with the protective array of Azure Cloud City. After learning about this, the City Lord sent me here specifically to request your assistance."
Lin An understood and guessed that the second test would be to have him repair the formation.
"Lead the way."
Lin An Andao quickly adapted to his new role.
Shen Wang nodded and quickly led the way, while Lin An also inquired about some information from the sidelines.
Knowing that he was the only Sovereign Rank Array Master in Azure Cloud City, while the City Lord Han Qingyun was a Half-Step Immortal powerhouse.
Outside the city, there are a large number of Sin Beast that could launch an attack at any time.
"According to the city lord's prediction, those Sin Beast should launch their attack in about a month," Shen Wang said.
Lin An nodded. It seemed he needed to repair the formation of Azure Cloud City within the next month.
Soon, Shen Wang led Lin An to the core of the formation.
When Lin An saw the formation before him, his eyes lit up; it was actually an Immortal Rank formation.
