For a moment, they staggered back, their faces turning unsightly.
Inside, the seven inheritors glanced at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
The next instant, everyone turned into streaks of light and flew towards the inheritance site at high speed.
But soon, they came rushing back out with furrowed brows.
They then appeared and disappeared in various houses, their faces growing darker and the atmosphere more sinister.
Watching this unfold from outside, Yang Ji couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
The strength of the seven arrivals was quite extraordinary, with the weakest at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
Among them, the white-haired elder was a Nascent Soul Second Realm master who had already transcended the Fire Tribulation and was only a step away from reaching the Nascent Soul Third Realm and achieving a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.
The elder, who should have been confident of victory, now had a deeply furrowed brow, looking utterly dejected.
He swept the other six with an unkind gaze, suspecting that if it weren't for all of them entering the inheritance site together, someone might have secretly taken the inheritance cultivation technique.
Yang Ji looked at the elder, thinking that if he had entered to compete with them, he might not have been able to beat him.
Because the aura emitted by this elder was much more powerful than that of ranks like Yin Zhi True Lord, not at the same level at all.
The stern-faced middle-aged man was also a Nascent Soul True Monarch, seemingly commanding and powerful, likely a key figure in some force.
Although he was only at the Nascent Soul First Realm, the aura he emitted was also powerful, not one to be trifled with.
The other five were equally somber and composed, clearly fearless.
At a glance, they were all confident characters, each with an extraordinary demeanor.
What surprised Yang Ji the most was that among them, the youngest—a vigorous young girl in a snug outfit—was actually a Spiritual Body. Although she concealed it well and did not reveal a hint of Spiritual Charm, Yang Ji still recognized her true nature at a glance.
Without a doubt, with such a talent, she must be the favored child of some great power within the Endless Sea.
These seven were quite unfamiliar; it seemed that they were cultivators from beyond the Thousand-Islands Sea Area.
They had come with great ambition, but they could only return dispirited.
At that moment, each stood in front of the houses, looking extremely depressed.
Where was the inheritance?
Where had it gone?
They didn't know that the person who obtained the inheritance had already left the underground world with a smile.
Seeing the other inheritors downcast, Yang Ji felt very pleased.
Luckily, he had taken the cultivation technique in advance, or he would not have avoided a confrontation today.
...
After emerging from the underground world, Yang Ji flew straight towards the Sect. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
At this point, he had nothing much to prepare. The Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts that he had acquired from the senior Fu Dongliu he couldn't use, and he had already handed them over to the Sect.
The Pill Recipe was also refined and perfected, compiled into an Alchemy Manual, and handed over to the Sect.
Aside from the Humanoid Weapon, all other techniques had been perfected, making it difficult for his strength to leap forward drastically.
Continuing to cultivate in seclusion would be of little significance and would instead waste his limited lifespan.
Now, the only way for him to advance further was to go to Wuji Dao Sect.
The council hall.
Bai Mei the Supreme and all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the sect had assembled.
All of them looked at Yang Ji with expressions of relief and anticipation on their faces.
"Xiao Ji, there are ten million Spirit Stones in this Storage Ring. When you get to Dao Sect, spend as needed, take care of matters as required; don't be too frugal. Although Canglan Sect is a small faction, we can't lose our dignity at the Dao Sect," Bai Mei the Supreme said with a gentle smile, flicking his finger and sending a ring towards Yang Ji.
"Thank you, Supreme!" Yang Ji hesitated for a moment but still nodded and accepted it.
Having never been to the Dao Sect and not understanding the situation, it was good to have some Spirit Stones on him, which would allow him to act more freely.
"Xiao Ji, this is the Dao Sect Command Token. With it, you can enter the Dao Sect," Bai Mei the Supreme said gently, tossing a Token into Yang Ji's hand.
The Token was only palm-sized, with an ancient and mysterious design, covered with strange patterns that intertwined to form two characters—Infinity.
"This is the Command Token of Infinity Dao Sect!" Bai Mei the Supreme said slowly, "Infinity Dao Sect is very powerful, spanning not only our Thousand-Islands Sea Area but also the entire range of the Endless Sea."
"This is but the tip of the iceberg of Infinity Dao Sect's power. The strength of the Dao Sect is unimaginable."
"Xiao Ji, if you can stand firm in the Dao Sect, you would truly be stepping onto the immortal path."
"Supreme, I will definitely try my hardest to stay in the Dao Sect," Yang Ji nodded and said.
"We have witnessed your strength. Unless you are extremely unlucky and face a hell-level assessment, the chances of staying in the Dao Sect are as high as eighty percent. If you become a true disciple of the Dao Sect, our Canglan Sect will also benefit," Bai Mei the Supreme stroked his beard and said with a beaming smile.
"Indeed, nephew, our Canglan Sect has only produced two disciples with such exceptional aptitude as you and Chang Xiao in thousands of years. If you can stay in the Dao Sect forever, then our Canglan Sect will truly stand unshakable in the Thousand-Islands Sea Area," the True Lord Qing He said with a smile.
"Please rest assured, Supreme, and all my senior masters, I will give it my all and live up to the expectations of the Sect," Yang Ji said earnestly.
"Xiao Ji, since that's the case, let's set off. The sun is just rising, a good omen, symbolizing your journey to the Dao Sect as a rising sun reaching its zenith, just like your meteoric rise," Bai Mei the Supreme said with a smile, and at once soared over, grabbing Yang Ji and flying out of the grand hall.
His master, Jian Yuanzi, was also accompanying them.
"Xiao Ji, we are heading to Tongxian Island, and on that island lies the only Teleportation Array in the Thousand-Islands Sea Area that leads to the Immortal Cultivation Continent. Teleportation will take three days, whereas it would take decades by ship to reach the Immortal Cultivation Continent," Bai Mei the Supreme explained.
