The grand hall was empty, seemingly lacking decoration, the light was dim, and the ground was paved with bluish-gray stone bricks. Eight rough stone pillars supported the dome, and at the end, on the Tier Nine jade steps, a jade throne was placed.

At first glance, it even seemed a bit plain.

Yet, despite this, almost every trial taker involved in the inheritance became excited upon waking up, completely disregarding the changes in decor around them, and eagerly examining their gains.

As more people awoke, the atmosphere became lively at once.

Talent spiritual light flickered ceaselessly, the radiance of spiritual power shone throughout the grand hall, illuminating the originally dim and plain hall in various colors.

A young man marveled subconsciously, "Is this... the inheritance?"

"Unbelievable! I feel like I have gained a lot of profound and mysterious knowledge in my mind!"

Someone exclaimed excitedly, "Indeed, I once received the True Intent Implantation from the sect's divine object. Although the amount of true intent in this inheritance is not much, it is just right for us. It won't affect our minds, and with some time to digest, it will be fine."

"Is it the technique of using spiritual power to guide the spirit patterns in the Sea of Spirit to set up spirit rune arrays on the body or in the outside world... even if it's just a glimpse, it was worth the visit!"

A sweet-looking girl stuck out her tongue, smiling radiantly, "Hey, I thought I was just here to accompany others, but I didn't expect to gain advantages in the first trial."

"Thirty-something people having True Intent Implantation simultaneously, this inheritance is indeed impressive."

Even Ju Zuojing, whose face was still slightly purple, had improved his complexion considerably, his mindset recovering.

He gave it his all, at least managing to finish the quasi-supreme difficulty run, so looking at it this way, although not as good as the best, he was still far ahead compared to others, making the trip worthwhile.

While they chatted enthusiastically, those who chose the supreme difficulty finally also finished digesting.

Lin Guang unconsciously flicked his fingers.

Buzz—

The air trembled slightly, seemingly stirred by his spiritual power, as though the patterns were going to extend outwards.

"Is this... knowledge and skills of array formation?"

The feeling was somewhat similar to when the system had implanted the True Understanding of Needle Dao, and because it could take effect on the physical body, it had some resemblance.

But to be precise, the information was not abundant, and no specific images appeared, feeling more akin to the True Intent in the Blast Punch Crystal or the True Intent Implantation by True Man Tianmu.

However, although the amount of this information was not large, it was lofty, with profound intent, far more vivid and distinct than the content usually seen in books, and was a complete system by itself.

Though it could not be entirely described verbally, merely using Daxia Language to describe it would cause significant distortion in conveying the information, so it must be expressed with will together.

But regardless, this was a quite impressive gain.

Even for those who do not intend to follow the path of Miracle Master in arrays, it has great use, whether it is organizing into a system after leaving, summarizing into spirit patterns, integrating into the mystical technique, or cooperating with one's special abilities, it is superb material...

And at this moment, the voice of Vishdair in the Sea of Spirit also sounded: [*Kazdail profanity*, what is this nonsense, I completely don't understand?]

[Lisa also can't quite grasp it...]

Chelina realized something and said softly: [This True Intent inheritance... doesn't seem to be open to Spirit Beasts?]

Lin Guang reassured: [Probably, true intent is precious and limited. If it were to share with spirit beasts, then there would be no bottom. But no worries, once we leave, I can teach you how to use it, which isn't harder than those I've mastered.]

While replying to the partners' confusion, Lin Guang still felt slightly puzzled.

Even if not giving inheritance to Spirit Beasts, it indeed offered True Intent Implantation to thirty individuals for real, yet it's merely a Tier Three restricted secret realm.

Is this... really possible?

Even if the origin and volume of the secret realm are considerable, or the passing inheritor had some hidden backup energy or something to support, yet True Intent Implantation isn't released as a final reward but as an ordinary passing reward for everyone?

Six-Star Peak, can they really have such a significant display?

However, at this moment, an untimely voice from the grand hall suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

It was a somewhat incredulous male voice.

"True Intent Inheritance?! Everyone has it? Why did I not feel anything?!"

This was a young man, dressed in deep blue forceful attire, with dark skin, a handsome face, and could even be described as somewhat mature.

A freshman from Shenqi Academy.

Ye Lihong.

In the first trial, he had once contended neck and neck with the original first Ju Zuojing, always staying at second.

And even after Lin Guang and others took the lead, he finished the quasi-supreme difficulty course first, firmly holding onto the eighth position.

He looked around, watching the trial takers discussing around, his face showing a look of disbelief, even a bit anxious: "How is this possible?!"

Everyone hearing his words paused slightly.

He... did not receive True Intent Implantation?

Why?

"…"

The next moment.

It seemed a subtle change occurred in the grand hall.

In an instant, a few of the most sensitive people suddenly turned their gaze to the jade throne at the depths of the grand hall.

And as they moved, everyone subconsciously followed.

There, unknown to them, a figure, semi-real and semi-illusory, sat.

An old man's silhouette.

His beard and hair were entirely white, his face was lean, his expression serene, wearing a light blue robe without any special decoration, only having some flowing cloud patterns.

Only his demeanor was extremely mysterious.

As if he existed, yet seemingly about to dissipate into the entire world.

But nobody paid attention to his attire or appearance; instead, their minds began to spin rapidly, contemplating his identity.

These geniuses had all been told by the gate's True Man about one thing upon entering.

The inheritor who left the legacy had already passed away completely, but the inheritance didn't lose control because of it, and could even automatically initiate.

Clearly, this implies the presence of a complex system driving the inheritance to operate normally.

Generally speaking, there will be something like "Array Spirit," "Artifact Spirit," "Artificial Intelligence," or similar things used to maintain the rules within the inheritance secret realm.

And the sudden appearance of the old man in front seemed much like such a described existence.

And his eyes, resembling black holes, stared fixedly at a certain person in the crowd.

Ye Lihong.

He said indifferently, "Trial taker violated the rules, losing inheritance qualification."

And as soon as he said this, the majority of people showed looks of surprise, simply because this voice was almost identical to the elderly voice of Liu Cheyi that opened the inheritance.

The only difference was that the tone was extremely cold.

For a moment, Ye Lihong seemed to have understood something, his face showing unease instinctively.

But immediately his expression changed to a pleased look, "Senior Liu, do you mean the matter of me consuming various elixirs after entering the secret realm before starting the inheritance trial?"

"This was not my intention, but forced upon me by my master, I apologize and beg for forgiveness..."

Yet in the next moment.

Almost without any action.

It seemed that the elder with Liu Cheyi's remnant will slightly raised his head, and those deep eyes like black holes flashed with a gleam.

Instantly, a crisp shattering sound, accompanied by a faint beastly roar resounded.

The young man in deep blue attire, with dark skin, suddenly swayed, as if his spirit was lost.

Turbid brains mixed with blood flowed out through the seven apertures, and his whole body fell silently.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the venue froze.

—Someone died.

Those who could participate in the Celestial Ladder Mountain inheritance were all geniuses among geniuses, dragons and phoenixes among men, all were seeds of True Man with great expectations.

Like the one who just passed away, who was a genius of the Ye Lihong family in Nanhai City, with a talent sequence number of 787, possessed two Purple Legend potential spirit beasts, and was sure to shine in this year's state competition, stepping onto a glorious stage.

Simply for violating rules, his Sea of Spirit was crushed brutally by some mysterious power, and the contracted spirit beast in his mind also died tragically.
