Each Generation Is Worse Than the Last

In the main courtyard.

People come and go.

Those who entered in the first batch are now nearing the end.

Even the first few people to enter didn't have much time left.

Before the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor, Xiang Li's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

There is less than a day left.

At this moment, his furrowed brows were even more pronounced.

Having cultivated himself for many years, he had already grasped the concept of "moderation" in his heart.

And this is precisely the root of the inner conflict at this moment.

Based on the progress of the previous events, it is clear that the remaining time will not be sufficient to take away the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor.

Unless, of course, the Dao Comprehension Well Water takes effect on the following day.

But at the same time, there was a feeling that the Dao Comprehension Well Water had already served its purpose.

Now it doesn't feel as difficult as it did right after I drank it.

However, this is somewhat of a waste of time when it comes to understanding this tradition.

On the other side...

He cannot accept this situation.

Over the years, everything he has done has never failed or resulted in an accident.

You can do whatever you want without any obstacles.

He was determined to obtain the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor!

If we fail and give up at this point...

Unacceptable!

Such inner turmoil is what makes it so difficult to find peace of mind.

And just then...

As if sensing something, Xiang Li opened his eyes and looked at the stone pillar in front of him.

The stone pillar, which had remained calm throughout, suddenly began to gleam with light from the characters engraved on its surface.

A peculiar aura rippled out from the stone pillar, like ripples spreading across a calm surface of water.

This sudden change caused countless people in the main courtyard to turn their heads to look.

When they witnessed the transformation of the stone pillar, countless people's expressions changed, followed by varying degrees of disbelief.

"Does this mean that once the inheritance has been fully comprehended, it's about to be taken away?"

"This stone pillar had been completely still until now, but suddenly it's like this... Could someone have really done it?!"

"Look, Xiang Li has opened his eyes. Judging from his appearance, it seems he has finished his comprehension! He actually got it!"

Many people noticed Xiang Li's sharp and piercing gaze and couldn't help but gasp.

"The gap between people is truly terrifying. Such a difficult thing, which no one has been able to do for so many years, has actually been done!"

"Sigh, this generation of peers is truly terrifying. With someone like that around, how can anyone possibly get ahead?"

"Now, the Xiang Clan is truly going to prosper!"

There was much discussion and reflection.

Even though most of those who come here are the pride of their respective forces, they can't help but admire this from the bottom of their hearts.

To be able to do this, one's level of understanding is truly terrifying!

Xiang Li paid no attention to the conversation; his focus was fixed on the stone pillar.

He wasn't sure why the stone pillar was like that.

He didn't seem to have triggered anything.

"Could it be that the desire to inherit the legacy is prompting it to actively recognize a master?"

An idea flashed through Xiang Li's mind, and then a glint appeared in his eyes.

If that were truly the case, he was confident that the area around this stone pillar would be the best choice for him!

For a moment, Xiang Li closed his eyes again, trying to re-enter the state of utter despair.

Inheritance will come naturally; there's no need to anxiously await it.

And just as his eyes closed...

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice, "Holy crap!"

The light on the stone pillar grew increasingly intense, then detached from the pillar's surface and spread outwards.

Characters formed from condensed light danced before the stone pillar, like an evolution, conveying a profound and complex meaning.

Then, the characters formed by the condensed light quickly converged, like a long river, and fell towards one place.

What truly sent gasps of astonishment through people was the location where the light fell.

This Xiang Li is.

It was right across from Xiang Li.

That figure who remained completely relaxed throughout, even taking time to eat!

Swish, swish, swish.

As the light surged, a powerful aura mixed with the power of will converged around Xiao Ye within the stone pillar, with some of it entering his body.

This unexpected scene left countless people present stunned.

It wasn't Xiang Li, it was someone else!

It's not even a perfect fit; it seems like they're just putting on an act!

"This... this..."

Some people, upon seeing this scene, were dumbfounded and speechless!

Who is this?

Someone swallowed hard, incredulous.

"It's even more terrifying than Xiang Li's comprehension ability!"

Even if Xiang Li were deaf, he would feel something was amiss at this moment, let alone if he wasn't.

Brush.

Xiang Li suddenly opened her eyes.

As he sensed the light and power surging towards the other side, Xiang Li abruptly stood up, his expression changing drastically.

Especially when you see with your own eyes that these lights and powers are directed at the very figure that was there at the beginning.

In an instant, a complex and inexplicable anger surged into Xiang Li's mind.

The other party seized the opportunity to be the first to enter the main courtyard.

He never held a grudge against the other party, but now, the other party is so ungrateful that they have taken away the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor that rightfully belongs to him!

A murderous intent suddenly surged in Xiang Li's eyes.

His eyes were fixed on Xiao Ye, then suddenly turned gray, and an astonishing mental power surged forth, transforming into a chilling mental attack that struck Xiao Ye directly.

No one can take his things!

Nobody will do!

At the same time, Xiang Li took some action.

Not far away.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, looked at Xiang Li, and gently shook his head.

"Such a mindset, each generation is worse than the last."

As he spoke softly, his intention was simultaneously revealed, enveloping Xiao Ye's figure.

At the same time, the main courtyard's defensive formation also reacted.

The Myriad Laws Saint Emperor left behind such a place, so it's unlikely that anyone could be easily harmed.

Otherwise, jealousy and envy will rob this place of its safety.

Swish, swish.

At the same time, two auras swept across from all directions where the two people's thoughts appeared.

Wherever its breath passed, it vanished like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, dissipating all mental attacks without a trace.

Xiang Li was not far from Xiao Ye.

His actions could not possibly have gone unnoticed by everyone.

For a moment, many people in the crowd frowned.

Xiang Li's assassins were truly decisive. If this place weren't in the main courtyard, this young man probably wouldn't have been able to complete this process at all.

Others, however, reacted much less strongly.

Among the most talented individuals, there has always been a constant struggle and competition; how could they possibly tolerate each other?

Instead, many eyes turned to Xiao Ye, with a hint of sympathy in them.

If this prodigy who appeared out of nowhere were just a Rogue Cultivator, even with the Academy's full protection, they would inevitably find themselves in a passive situation.

The Xiang Clan certainly harbors some resentment about this matter. If the Xiang Clan has plans, even if this young man obtains the Saint Emperor's inheritance and gains the support of the Myriad Laws Academy, who can guarantee that the Xiang Clan won't take action?

That's hard to say.

Unless, of course, this young man has a powerful background that would deter the Xiang Clan from taking action.

But that seems unlikely.
