In Kong Guofeng's office.

Vishdair sat bored on the sofa to one side, with Lisa sitting upright beside him, while Lin Guang sat opposite Kong Guofeng's desk, with a wolf-eared girl dressed as a maid standing behind him.

"I'll just get straight to the point."

"Since you are already at Level thirty, you won't be at a disadvantage."

Kong Guofeng pondered for a moment, then straightforwardly said: "There's a tremendous opportunity. Are you willing to compete for it?"

Noticing the confusion on Lin Guang's face, Kong Guofeng continued: "Are you aware of the anomaly at Celestial Ladder Mountain Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing these five words, combined with Kong Guofeng's mention of a "tremendous opportunity," a moment of clarity flashed in Lin Guang's mind.

"Could it be what you mentioned last time?"

He still remembered the riddle the other had spoken after the Demon King descended last time.

Moreover, in recent days, there had indeed been updates circulating...

Lin Guang thought for a moment and couldn't help but say: "So, is it true what was discussed online a few days ago? Has something extremely precious been discovered inside Celestial Ladder Mountain?"

He later checked online.

Back when Lin Guang went out to capture Mu Shunying, the Celestial Ladder Secret Realm had already shown unusual signs — the central mountain, so tall it seemed endless like a sky pillar, began to illuminate in a rhythmic pattern, brightening and dimming like breathing. All exploring Spirit Masters could witness this wonder.

And just a few days ago, a rumor finally started to spread online — something extremely precious might appear on Celestial Ladder Mountain inside the Secret Realm.

Although there were no specific photos, an indirect piece of evidence was that the base of Celestial Ladder Mountain within the Secret Realm had already been surrounded by the troops of Great Xia and the strong from the three major families.

A group guarding only the base of Celestial Ladder Mountain certainly triggered curiosity and speculation, which is why rumors of True Men discovering some supreme treasure appeared online... That's exactly what Lin Guang had thought before.

"That's right." Kong Guofeng nodded.

"More accurately speaking, it's not some specific item, but... another Secret Realm."

"A secret within the secret."

"A nested Secret Realm?"

Lin Guang slightly frowned: "That is extremely rare..."

Strictly speaking, the nesting of Secret Realms is not unheard of, similar to how high-level Storage Spiritual Artifacts can indeed contain lower-level ones.

However, generally, Secret Realms are fragments of the original world, existing like [Pocket World Blessed Land] or [Star Realm Sacred Nation]. If another layer is embedded, aside from the extremely slight chance of coincidence, it is almost impossible to be due to natural formation.

Unless…

Lin Guang raised an eyebrow, his game experience making him realize something: "Could it be created by intelligent beings from another world?"

"Your intuition is truly sharp."

Kong Guofeng nodded: "Indeed."

"Based on our detection, the Secret Realm nested in Celestial Ladder Mountain is an Inheritance Secret Realm."

"It contains the inheritance left by the original owner of the Secret Realm, a powerful human from another world."

Lin Guang's eyes slightly widened.

"Judging by the strength of the Celestial Ladder Secret Realm, that strong individual was at least at the Six-Star Peak level and might even be extremely close to the Seven-Star level."

"The massive scale outside, combined with this nested inheritance, qualifies this Secret Realm to reach Tier Seven."

Although the cultivation systems differ, as the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," Blue Star's rules assimilate incoming power systems — this is also the origin of the Shaking Stage — therefore once other power systems integrate, it's not surprising they can be benchmarked by Star Level.

This inheritance cannot be deemed anything but precious.

It should be known that the ancestors of the three major families of Zhen Sheng City broke through to Seven-Star by gaining inheritance in Secret Realms, continuing their legacy through their bloodline until today.

A Six-Star Peak inheritance would be of great significance to nearly any major power, potentially prompting action, even causing Seven-Star True Men to be tempted — although not as powerful, no one ever said inheritance couldn't be analogized. Collisions of different world systems could also bring inspiration.

Perhaps it could even help True Men advance further!

However… what does such an advanced Secret Realm have to do with Lin Guang?

Lin Guang did not continue to ask, as it was clear Kong Guofeng had more to say.

He looked at Lin Guang and said, "However, the Inheritance Secret Realm has a Level restriction set at Tier Three."

"It might be to screen geniuses whose paths aren't defined yet, allowing them to better accept the inheritance, or perhaps due to severe damage over a long time… This nested Secret Realm has a very strict Level restriction."

"Undoubtedly, only the geniuses of your generation can compete for this inheritance."

"Currently, the entire Fenghai Province is trembled by this news, with many sect powers arriving, hoping their own geniuses can attempt to seize the inheritance."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Lin Guang finally understood why this tremendous opportunity existence was being told to a small fry who just broke through to Three-Star.

Since those above Level 39, both humans and beasts, cannot enter, it's indeed his turn.

Kong Guofeng continued, "As the person in charge of Zhen Sheng City, naturally I also have the qualification to recommend a genius. But in Zhen Sheng City, apart from you, there isn't any particularly suitable candidate."

"If you wish to go, then this slot is yours."

Lin Guang's expression became serious.

The slot to compete for a Six-Star Peak inheritance is undoubtedly a precious opportunity, not as casually given away as Kong Guofeng made it seem, as if freely handed over.

Even if there really wasn't a suitable candidate, recommending the descendants of True Men he's in good terms with could still sell them a significant favor.

Undoubtedly, Kong Guofeng was fully cultivating him as a member of the same faction, or even as a successor.

Yet even so, Lin Guang's initial reaction apart from gratitude was not ecstasy or excitement, but rather…

Is this inheritance genuine, and is it risky?

Such inheritances, so precious to ordinary people, requiring one to risk their lives to fight for, weren't all that precious to Lin Guang.

Because Lin Guang possessed the "Ultimate Spirit Master Development System."

Even if the inheritance inside was exceedingly powerful or practical, if one Starlight point's worth of talent wasn't comparable, surely two or three would be, right?

However, conversely… the system's talent tree is also limited.

The further you progress, the acquisition difficulty of Star Shards becomes almost prohibitively difficult.

According to Lin Guang's experience from previous lifetimes in gaming, on average, each game completion would yield only about twenty-some Starlights.

If possible, Lin Guang naturally also desired the additional powerful inheritance.

Lin Guang did not immediately make a decision and maintained his expression: "I want to know more detailed information about the Secret Realm first."

A flash of admiration passed through Kong Guofeng's eyes.

It seemed since meeting for the first time, Lin Guang, in every incident, never lost his composure due to emotional fluctuations, which were greatly to his liking.

"The information is here."

He handed Lin Guang a thick stack of documents.

...

After a while, Lin Guang finished reading the documents and began to ponder.

The cause of events was simple.

Some True Men were dissatisfied with the idea that a Tier Seven Secret Realm might only contain wild Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Materials, hardly any Divine Objects, and naturally set their sights on the magnificent but empty Celestial Ladder Mountain.

They formed a grand array to enhance deduction, led by a True Man from the Southern Saint Sect, and indeed received a gratifying result — something was indeed hidden on Celestial Ladder Mountain.

A final inheritance from another world, left by a once powerful but now deceased individual.

As the Shaking Stage was about to conclude and the seamless integration into Blue Star was near, the inheritance's mechanism began to revive due to the stabilized situation, soon ready to surface.

However, the precise time of activation was still uncertain, with only a vague sense that it wouldn't be far off, as soon as mid-January or at the latest, February.

The three pillar cities of Fenghai Province, namely Zhen Sheng City, Nanhai City, Li Hai City, and many of the smaller scattered cities' powers had already sent True Men, reaching an agreement.

The storm was gathering.
