Chapter 66 - The Final Test

The camp outside the tomb had started to scatter. Many didn't understand why the entrance was closed and the people of the pavilion were also searching for the answer and they were also asked if they were the ones who led them into a trap. 

But when denied no one was able to say anything and people also knew that Sect Tower was involved so no one has enough balls to do this. Even the Alchemist Tower was asked but they also didn't find the inheritance. Many were returning and some were still searching for answers. 

Jian and Zhou You have been teleported to a cave. They had already started to look for clues for inheritance they searched for a while but couldn't find anything. 

While they were searching the lamps on the wall started to lit and both of them followed. After few minutes when they reached the end of the cave they saw a skeleton seating in the meditation position. And there was a ring on his finger 

Both looked at each other and they understood that the ring was a storage ring and they started to move towards it.

Zhou You knew he was not a match for Jian. So he let Jian take the ring. When Jian reached near the skeleton and reached to take the ring a Voice sounded " Why are you in hurry first let me introduce myself "

Jian and Zhou You became afraid both of them immediately took a stance and were ready to fight. They got afraid because they knew there were the only ones in the tomb and I both had not said anything means the one to speak was a skeleton.

Jian and Zhou You continued to look at the skeleton but they couldn't find anything. As they were about lower their guard a light appeared in front of the skeleton and after that, an old man was standing in front of it.

Jian and Zhou You were startled. Jian immediately asked, "the system what is this?" 

"Host this is the remnant soul of a cultivator and from the look of it, this tomb is his" Jian was shocked this is the first time he had seen a soul and he looked at Zhou You and saw that he was shivering. 

" Host you still should be careful and to check anything odd happening continuously activate Star Gaze" the system warned him to be careful and activate Star Gaze.

Jian followed the system's instructions and activated Star Gaze. As he activated the Star gaze he was able to information about the soul but all were in question marks even name was not visible.

The old man's attention was drawn towards Jian " Interesting ". Both Jian and Zhou You kept looking at the old man and kept their guard up.

" No need to be afraid. If I wanted to harm you I believe I would have not called you here. Since you can understand the main text of the tomb you both are qualified for my inheritance but before that, you have to pass the test So are you ready for it." 

Jian frowned when he heard the old man he wanted to ask him but it seems that he had to pass the test before he could ask anything. He looked at Zhou You and saw that Zhou You was also frowning. 

All of them kept staring at each other. There was not a sound in the cave. Jian and Zhou You simultaneously looked at each other and nodded. And said, " we are ready for the test."

The old man started to laugh and suddenly he brought his hands together and a blinding light was shown. 

After the light was shone Jian closed his eyes and when he opened it he found himself in a dark area. There was nothing in it. He was alone Zhou You were not with him. Jian checked here and there suddenly a voice sounded and he knew who it was.

" You just have to reach the cave and you will be able to get my inheritance and don't need to worry both are in the same position the person who can reach first is the winner " The old man ended his speech with laughing. 

Jian was also shocked to think that it was this easy. Jian kept looking here and there but he was not able to find any route. " Host first activates Star Gaze and since the test of from formation master look for the eye."

Jian became embarrassed because when the light was shone Jian had closed his eyes and deactivated Star Gaze and he kept looking thinking that the ability was activated. 

He activated Star Gaze and as he activated he saw that the whole area was covered in the lines. He immediately knew that he was in the formation. He thought about destroying it but the system said to solve it instead of destroying it. He will not able to destroy. 

Jian then searched for the eye of the formation. He kept searching but he was not able to find anything. So he started using his Qi with star Gaze and suddenly he was able to two eyes and both were interlocked.

Jian knew basic information about the formation and how to solve it. He moved towards the eye and started to check carefully using Star Gaze. He only had to found flaws and gaps in the eye and use his Qi to make them bigger. If the flaws and gaps get bigger the formation structure will become loose and he will be able to find a way out of it.

Jian then started to exploit the flaws in the eye. Since two eyes were intertwined it was taking double effort. So he has decided to decrease the strength of the formation and the used brute force to destroy it.

Jian kept exploiting and using his strength to check the durability of the formation. This continued for three hours when he was able to feel that the formation was weakening.

He didn't stop he started to directly destroy the lines in the eye of the formation. It only took him a half-hour to weaken the eye where he can destroy it with brute force.

Jian then took out it Saber and attacked the eye.. After taking the hit of the full force of the Jian attack it collapsed after three strikes and Jian found himself in a different area.
