63: Chapter 63 Inheritance

Hum!

At the same time, after Chen Changqing emerged from seclusion, the gates of the Legacy tower finally opened!

During this period, the Sect Masters of the Yuxu Sect and the Tianyan Sect discussed the matter and decided to bring along their respective allied Golden Core families. Firstly, there were not enough inheritors, and secondly, pulling in the other two Golden Core factions could help them share some of the risks.

After all, the Great Yan Country had more than just their two sects. If the two of them swallowed everything alone, the remaining nine Golden Core factions coming at them together would truly be more than they could handle.

However, now that they were four Golden Core factions, they didn't have to worry at all about what the other seven dared to do. With external enemies at their side, if the other seven disregarded the situation of Dayan and insisted on provoking a war, perhaps everyone would just perish together.

Furthermore, when the Wanta Sect was destroyed, many Golden Cores had long since divided up an unknown amount of resources. Now, these legacies might not even compare to the foundation of the weakest Golden Core faction. There was no need to provoke a war for this little bit of interest; at worst, the four families would just carve out some benefits to give to the other seven Golden Core factions, provided that they obtained enough legacies and resources.

Under the command of all the Purple Mansion Masters, all Disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm and below entered entirely.

Those Purple Mansion Masters were not in a hurry, because which Cultivator who could Cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm wasn't exceptionally talented? They truly weren't afraid that these Disciples would seize better legacies first because of their Aptitude.

An hour later, dozens of Disciples appeared out of thin air. Looking somewhat surprised, they bowed respectfully when they saw the Purple Mansion Masters, and then the Purple Mansion Masters asked them to describe the situation inside the tower.

After a while, those Purple Palace Cultivators revealed expressions of joy.

From these Disciples, they learned that what they faced was a Spiritual Pressure test assessment. The Spiritual Pressure test was simple if one said it was simple, and difficult if one said it was difficult. Its most crucial aspect was whether one could persist against the external spiritual power's oppression on oneself within a certain period of time. By the looks of it, this Spiritual Pressure would also be modified according to the inheritor's Realm. Upon passing, one could enter the next floor and obtain all kinds of rewards such as Spirit Medicine, Cultivation Technique, Medicinal Pill, and Magical Artifact.

Of course, among these dozens of Cultivators, very few passed the first-floor trial. Looking from the outside, this tower had a total of ten floors, meaning there were ten rounds of trials.

Immediately, some Purple Mansion Masters were eager to make a move. Among them, someone directly said, "Fellow Daoists, anyway, there is no danger in the tower, we might be able to enter."

Master Baiye and Master Tianlong nodded; their cultivation bases were the highest among all the Purple Mansions here.

Seeing this, the others took their leave and went to challenge the tower.

...

A few hours earlier, Chen Changqing was still wandering around in the fog. Then, he suddenly sensed an abnormality in his Storage Pouch. After checking it, he discovered that the originally dim Legacy token inside the Storage Pouch was emitting bursts of faint light.

"Hm?" Chen Changqing took it out and observed it for a moment, finding that this token seemed to vaguely guide him toward somewhere. Then, accompanied by a huge buzzing sound coming from far away, it sounded like the noise of a stone door that had not been opened for a long time being pushed open.

Following that, the token in Chen Changqing's hand suddenly emitted an even stronger light, wrapping his entire person inside and transforming into a brilliant golden light before disappearing on the spot. Within the Secret Realm, there were dozens of other cases just like Chen Changqing's.

In the blink of an eye, as the golden light around his body dissipated, Chen Changqing opened his eyes and looked around. He quietly discovered that he was in a sealed secret chamber. There was nothing here, and he didn't know where this was.

After wandering around the secret chamber and finding no exits, he tried bombarding the walls with his magic power. Striking them several times in succession, he then discovered that the walls were incomparably hard, completely beyond his ability to shake.

After another moment, a cold female voice sounded, "The first assessment officially begins. Please prepare, inheritor."

The voice fell. Before Chen Changqing could figure out the situation, a surge of Spiritual Pressure instantly descended upon him, bending his waist under the pressure.

"This is? Foundation Establishment level spiritual power." Chen Changqing was surprised in his heart. While enduring the oppression of the spiritual power, he gritted his teeth, persisted, and watched his surroundings vigilantly.

An hour later, Chen Changqing suddenly felt the spiritual power oppressing his entire body vanish instantly. Only then did he straighten his back and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Congratulations to the inheritor for passing the first assessment. Please choose your reward." The female voice sounded again.

Then, clank!

Three square pillars rose from the ground.

Chen Changqing stepped forward to take a look. The first pillar placed a bottle of Medicinal Pill, which was a Low Grade Second-Tier yangshen pill. The second pillar was a Low Grade Second-Tier Flying Sword, and the third pillar was a High Grade Second-Tier Talisman, the Soul-Suppressing Talisman.

Chen Changqing examined them closely. He now more or less understood where he had been teleported to. As for the reason, it was related to the Legacy token in his hand.

He casually picked up the Soul-Suppressing Talisman. To him, the usefulness of the other two rewards wasn't very great. A bottle of Low Grade Second-Tier yangshen pill, even if taken entirely, would still be very difficult to raise his cultivation by a tier. As for Second-Tier Magical Artifacts, needless to say, he already had them himself.

In comparison, the effect of the Soul-Suppressing Talisman was very strong. Even a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if hit by the Soul-Suppressing Talisman, would be hard-controlled for several breaths, let alone Middle Stage Foundation Establishment and Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

After Chen Changqing obtained the reward, that cold female voice sounded once more, "Please move to the second floor, inheritor."

Then, a stone wall in front of his eyes slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to a higher level.

Chen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before walking up. Anyway, since he had already come and had no way to leave, he could only go to a higher level first to see if there was a way to leave, and by the way, obtain rewards through the so-called assessment.

After stepping onto the second floor, the surrounding environment was still the same. However, as soon as he came up, the door behind him closed, followed immediately by the start of the second round of assessment.

The second round of assessment was also very simple: kill a Yao Beast. Furthermore, the strength and type of the Yao Beast could be chosen, and the greater the difficulty, the more bountiful the rewards obtained.

Chen Changqing chose an Azure Wolf Demon whose strength reached the Low Grade Second-Tier. The Azure Wolf Demon was considered an extremely rare existence among wolf-type Yao Beasts. They possessed powerful strength and a high upper limit. In the southern Wanshou Mountain Range, more than one Third-Tier Azure Wolf Demon had even appeared. Moreover, it was rumored that someone had even seen a Fourth-Tier Azure Wolf Demon, which was terrifying just to think about.

The Azure Wolf Demon belonged to earth-attribute Yao Beasts, skilled in executing techniques like flying sand and moving stones.

All information regarding the Azure Wolf Demon surged into Chen Changqing's mind.

After the cold female voice initiated the assessment, the Azure Wolf Demon immediately rushed up. Chen Changqing wasn't afraid either, employing numerous methods all at once. This Azure Wolf Demon had at most the strength of the Perfection of the 2nd Layer of Foundation Establishment. For him, there was still a huge chance to kill it.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he watched the phantom of the Azure Wolf Demon rapidly dissipate, relaxed his entire body, spat out a breath of foul air, and claimed the second floor's reward: a set of Low Grade Second-Tier mother-and-child swords. This set of Flying Swords consisted of one mother sword and six child swords; used in combination, they could deploy a sword array. According to his estimation, coupled with his current magic power, it gave him a thirty percent probability of solo-killing a 3rd Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator, provided he didn't use too many of his trump cards.

Then, before entering the third floor, he took out Medicinal Pills for recovering magic power and healing injuries while sitting cross-legged to refine them.
