353: Inheritance and test

The Immortal God Sect was vast, far exceeding everyone's imagination. From high above, one could only vaguely discern that it seemed to be divided into several areas, each with distinctly different architectural styles.

Old Chu, at this moment, seemed to have lost his objective. He felt as if his divine sense was restricted here, unable to probe too far.

Just as he was about to ask Lin Yan if he had a solution, a purple streak of light flashed across the void in front of him, carrying an indescribably fatal ginseng aroma.

Its speed was not fast, only around the late Immortal King Realm, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"Old man, this wouldn't be the Huangji Ziyu Ginseng you mentioned, would it? To appear so brazenly, it truly only possesses shallow intelligence."

Chen Tiankuang immediately questioned Old Chu.

"Uh... it seems to be it."

Old Chu was also somewhat bewildered. Although the scroll recorded that there was a Huangji Ziyu Ginseng here, no one had ever truly caught it, so he couldn't be sure for a while.

"Then what are we waiting for? Watch me catch it!"

Chen Tiankuang was impatient. Without another word, and without waiting for Old Chu's reply, he vanished from the scene, extending his large hand to grab the purple streak of light.

Old Chu felt that something was amiss, but he didn't dwell on it, instead focusing intently on the unfolding events.

"Come into my hand quickly!"

Chen Tiankuang, seeing his large hand about to grasp the target, shouted with joy.

But the next moment, the streak of light suddenly accelerated, escaping the grasp of his large hand, completely flustering Chen Tiankuang.

He swayed and reached for the Huangji Ziyu Ginseng again, but still missed by a hair's breadth.

"Damn it, you've successfully angered this old man."

Chen Tiankuang was enraged, feeling a loss of face. The two chased each other, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Huh?"

"Why do I feel like something's wrong? This thing doesn't seem unintelligent, does it?"

Big Yellow Dog rested a paw on his chin, pondering the scene that had just unfolded.

"Let's go. If there are no surprises, Chen Tiankuang has probably fallen into a trap!"

Lin Yan suddenly spoke at this moment, a faint smile on his face, as if he found this matter very amusing.

Old Chu was instantly enlightened by these words, realizing, "No wonder this old man always felt something was off. So the appearance of that Yu Shen just now was deliberate?"

"It seems the rumors were mistaken. This is more than just shallow intelligence; it's much craftier than ordinary people."

Big Yellow Dog grinned, thinking he would soon be able to mock Ao Tian a few times.

Chang Sheng Sect sped off in the direction where the Huangji Ziyu Ginseng and Chen Tiankuang had disappeared, and before long, they arrived at a place resembling a training ground.

This was an enormous plaza, with a high platform in the center, from which a broken giant bell hung.

At this moment, many people were already present in the area, all Immortal King Realm experts. Their expressions were bewildered, and they were somewhat confused about their situation.

Chen Tiankuang's figure was among them, his face filled with unwillingness and anger, finally realizing that something was wrong.

Clang.

Just then, the giant bell on the high platform let out a resounding clang, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Following that, a phantom materialized in mid-air, looking down at the crowd below.

It was a decrepit old man, speaking weakly, as if on the verge of his limit, about to perish.

Of course, everyone also realized that this so-called old man in front of them was merely a lingering phantom.

"Everyone, I have led you here because I wish to find a fated individual."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and then one person stepped forward and asked:

"Senior, before that, shouldn't you introduce your identity and origin? If we meet your requirements, what benefits can we gain?"

These words were incisive, addressing the common doubts of everyone present.

"Naturally, this place is called the Immortal God Sect. This old man is the sect's Legacy Elder. Although the sect has perished, there must be someone to inherit it."

"Although your cultivation is somewhat weak, if there is a suitable person among you, there may still be a chance to gain recognition!"

What?

"Cultivation is weak." Hearing these four words, everyone frowned, staring strangely at the old man with the decrepit appearance.

They were, after all, Immortal King Realm experts, holding a certain status throughout the entire Immortal Realm, yet in the other party's eyes, they could only be described as weak.

"Hey, where is the purple Yu Shen that led this old man here? If I pass your so-called test, can I take it away?"

Chen Tiankuang said casually, without any reverence.

Hearing this, the decrepit old man glanced at him, then waved his large hand, and an immortal ginseng, entirely purple and resembling jade, appeared, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance. Just smelling it gave one the illusion of an increase in cultivation.

It was indeed the Huangji Ziyu Ginseng. One could see a human-like face on its body, staring at everyone with a mocking expression, as if very pleased with itself.

"Holy crap, you old bastard! Didn't you say this thing had no intelligence? Does that look on its face seem unintelligent? It's even craftier than a dog!"

Chen Tiankuang muttered curses to himself, glaring at the Yu Shen with a displeased expression.

The lingering phantom of the decrepit old man scanned the surroundings and then spoke: "If anyone can pass the test, this purple Yu Shen can also be given to him."

This statement immediately caused exclamations from everyone, their expressions unsettled, each showing a look of eagerness to try.

As Immortal King Realm powerhouses who could stir up storms and suppress a region in the outside world, they naturally saw the extraordinary nature of this sect.

If they could truly obtain the legacy mentioned by the other party, they would undoubtedly rise swiftly and reach the heavens in a single step.

Since this opportunity presented itself, they naturally did not want to miss it.

Rumble.

Several powerful auras rapidly approached. It was the Golden-backed Python Bull, the Bewitching Youth, and the immortal carriage pulled by the Flame Divine Steed arriving.

The middle-aged man on the Golden-backed Python Bull asked in a deep voice, "Senior, can we all take the test together?"

He looked directly at the lingering phantom of the old man whom he couldn't see through, his gaze sharp, without the slightest hint of disdain.

The old man looked at the three arriving powerhouses, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, and smiled, "Naturally, all those who can come here are fated individuals and can all participate."

Upon seeing this, many Immortal King Realm experts in the arena showed a hint of apprehension. Previously, there were no Quasi Immortal Emperor experts here, so their chances were undoubtedly greater.

"If everyone has no questions, then this old man will begin the assessment."

The lingering phantom of the old man slowly said, forming a hand seal. A gate of light suddenly appeared in the arena, its interior unclear.

Within Chang Sheng Sect, Old Chu and Lin Yan exchanged glances, then Old Chu said with a slight hint of urgency, "Fellow Daoist, you must go and try. This old man also wants to participate in this so-called test; we cannot let others snatch it away."

"Good, I had the same intention!"

Lin Yan nodded with interest. He was very curious about the legacy of this long-perished sect, and perhaps there would be unexpected gains.

The two figures flashed, appearing beside Chen Tiankuang. The latter, seeing them, said in surprise, "Big Brother, you're participating too? That's great, then it's settled!"

In Chen Tiankuang's view, since Lin Yan had chosen to act, everyone else had to step aside. This was a blind confidence in him, without any logical reason.

The appearance of the two immediately drew everyone's attention, especially the other two Quasi Immortal Emperors, whose expressions changed, their brows furrowing involuntarily, and sharp glints flashing in their eyes.

Even from within the mysterious immortal carriage, a hidden gaze emerged.

Although they knew that there were Quasi Immortal Emperors guarding that sect, they hadn't expected there to be two, and the black-clothed youth among them gave them a feeling that they couldn't see through.

The lingering phantom of the old man who had summoned the gate of light paused slightly upon seeing Lin Yan, and a subtle, hard-to-detect glimmer flashed in his otherwise placid eyes.

Immediately, as per his request, everyone stepped into this mysterious gate of light one after another, and the old man's lingering phantom also vanished.
