80: Tide Palace Inheritance Assessment

Outside the Crystal Palace, True Person Xue Dan, the Sect Leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, whose face was originally filled with gloom and murderous intent, was now completely overwhelmed by an expression of incredible shock!

Unwillingly, he grabbed another Foundation Establishment Realm Disciple who was trembling all over, his voice sharp with extreme anger.

"You! Say it again! Elder Blood Soul's soul fire, did it really... extinguish?!"

He was truly unwilling, and simply unable to believe, this fact!

Old Ancestor Blood Soul was the greatest hope for their Blood Fiend Sect for the next hundred years!

The entire Sect was waiting for him to return to the Nascent Soul Realm, to lead the Blood Fiend Sect to completely annihilate the Beast Taming Sect, and become the supreme trump card to dominate the East Sea!

But now... just like that, gone?!

He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!

And one more thing!

Old Ancestor Blood Soul was a Nascent Soul Realm mighty figure who underwent Possession and Rebirth!

Within this Tidal Palace relic, where the highest cultivation was only Golden Core Peak, it was impossible for anything to happen to him with his methods and intelligence.

The people within the Tidal Palace would definitely not pose a life-threatening danger to Old Ancestor Blood Soul; even if he couldn't win, escaping would definitely not be a problem!

However, after asking several people in a row, the answer he received was always the same, plunging him into an ice cave, filled with fear and certainty.

Gone!

Old Ancestor Blood Soul was truly gone!

But even so, True Person Xue Dan still couldn't accept this fact!

His eyes were bloodshot, like a madman, he muttered to himself, searching for a reason that could bring him peace of mind.

"No... impossible... Old Ancestor, he must have... must have entered some special area that can block Divine Soul detection!"

"Yes! That must be it! There was a disconnection between the soul fixing disk! That's why his soul fire temporarily appeared to be extinguished!"

...However, what he didn't know was.

Just behind a coral reef shadow less than a thousand zhang away from them, Mysterious Ink and Ye Feiyan, like two highly skilled hunters, had their every move within sight.

"Mysterious Ink," Ye Feiyan asked via secret transmission, "How many Golden Core Cultivators are left in the Blood Fiend Sect?"

Mysterious Ink's majestic dragon pupils merely swept lightly over the already chaotic Blood Fiend Sect team, and his consciousness instantly transmitted back.

"Two."

"One is the self-deceiving leader named Xue Dan, with Golden Core Peak cultivation."

"The other is shrouded in a black robe, with an unclear face, and is at the Late Golden Core Stage."

After listening.

A murderous intent flashed in Ye Feiyan's clear phoenix eyes.

"Do you have the confidence to take them all down?"

"No problem." Mysterious Ink's answer was full of endless confidence. "Just need to find a suitable Opportunity."

Just then!

"Buzz—!"

The Crystal Palace, suspended above the Nine Heavens, suddenly let out a violent hum!

Immediately after, an old man, less than five feet tall, carrying a huge turtle shell, looking somewhat comical like a "humanoid turtle," slowly materialized from the palace's main entrance.

As soon as he appeared, a pressure filled with ancient and profound aura instantly enveloped the entire world!

"I am the Guardian Spirit of the Tidal Palace's Inheritance Hall."

His ancient voice slowly rang out, clearly reaching the ears of every Cultivator.

"The Tidal Legacy can only be obtained by those with destiny."

"As for who the fated one is. After entering this Inheritance Hall, you all will know."

After speaking, the Guardian Spirit's figure slowly dissipated.

And the heavily guarded Crystal Palace's main entrance also slowly opened with a "rumble"!

Upon seeing this!

Below, the Cultivators from various major forces, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly erupted!

"Charge!"

"The Legacy is mine!"

..."You four, be careful in everything! Especially, beware of those demonic brats from the Blood Fiend Sect!"

True Person Jinyun cautioned Ye Feiyan and the other three again, then, along with the other three Peak Masters, also transformed into streaks of light and were the first to rush into the Inheritance Hall, filled with unknowns and Opportunities!

Bai Yunxi, Qin Xiaohui, Lin Yao, and Ye Feiyan followed closely.

However, just as Mysterious Ink followed Feiyan and stepped into the Inheritance Hall's entrance.

He only felt his vision suddenly blur!

When he could see clearly again.

The surroundings had already changed completely!

Ye Feiyan and all the others had already disappeared.

"A random teleportation Formation, huh..."

Mysterious Ink quickly understood.

It seemed that the Tidal Palace, in order to protect the true inheritor, had deliberately set up such a method at the entrance.

After realizing this, he began to examine his surroundings.

This place resembled an incredibly luxurious sleeping chamber.

All around were hundred-zhang-tall coral trees, carved from the purest ten-thousand-year coral. And directly above the sleeping chamber, a throne crafted from countless rare treasures quietly floated.

As Mysterious Ink surveyed his surroundings.

A translucent figure, filled with endless majesty and ancient aura, suddenly appeared on the throne.

As soon as he appeared, his gaze, full of scrutiny, fell upon Mysterious Ink.

"Jiao Clan... junior?"

Mysterious Ink looked at him, but found that he couldn't discern the slightest clue about the other party.

"No need to be nervous." The figure slowly spoke, introducing himself, "I am the last Palace Master of Tidal Palace, Sea Truth. What you see before you is merely a wisp of my remnant soul, left behind at the brink of death."

"Today, you are fated to come here. I will give you all an Opportunity."

Afterward, Sea Truth began the assessment.

He gently hooked his finger towards the Void below.

A crystal-clear, lifelike "large shrimp" materialized out of thin air.

"What is this creature? And how should it be cultivated?" he asked faintly.

Mysterious Ink glanced at it, and a knowing glint flashed in his majestic dragon pupils, indicating, "I'm familiar with this."

"This creature is called 'Great Qilin Shrimp,' and it is a Tier 2 sea beast." His consciousness slowly transmitted, "As for how to cultivate it, I do not know. I only know that this shrimp has tender, delicious meat and a springy texture; it is best when blanched."

"..."

Sea Truth's remnant soul, after listening, felt the corner of his originally majestic mouth twitch uncontrollably.

He suppressed it and, with another hook of his finger.

A "Divine Turtle," entirely crimson, its carapace faintly bearing a trace of Qilin divine charm, materialized out of thin air.

"What is this creature? How should it be cultivated?"

Mysterious Ink glanced again, his consciousness filled with "understanding."

"This creature is called 'Qilin Blood Turtle,' and it is a Tier 3 sea beast. It contains a faint trace of Qilin Bloodline within its body."

"How to cultivate it, I still don't know. I only know that this turtle's flesh and blood are a great tonic; used to stew soup, the taste is extremely delicious and has the miraculous effect of prolonging life."

Sea Truth: "..."

His originally majestic face was now utterly speechless.

He looked at the black giant Dragon below, who was staring at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Go ahead and test me, I know it all," and felt as if his wisp of remnant soul was about to dissipate from sheer anger.

He was silent for a long, long time.

Finally, he squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.

"Scram!"
