After a tough battle, Ren Pingsheng and the Bone Spirit were at a stalemate. In the end, Ren Pingsheng decided to give up; his purpose for coming here was to obtain the King-Level Inheritance, and he could not afford to waste time. So he hurriedly made his way toward the central area.
Of course, he continued to engage in combat along the way. The Martial Mastery Bone Spirits no longer posed much of a challenge for him. Although the milky-white Source of Life had no effect on him, it might be useful after he left this place. Therefore, without delaying his journey, he collected some as he went.
The warriors who entered the Sword King Tomb were all heading toward the very center. For them, the King-Level Inheritance was the most important thing they sought.
In the center of the Sword King Tomb stood one hundred and eight Inheritance Towers, all standing silently as if waiting for the Heritage seekers to arrive.
"Oh, damn! Another Zong-Level Bone!" While rushing forward, Ren Pingsheng inadvertently awakened a terrifying presence. Although his cultivation had improved, he still had no power to fight back against the Zong-Level Cultivation Bone Spirit. Fortunately, he noticed it in time and only received a light injury from a punch before escaping.
"Ah..." Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a scream.
"Hmm, are there others nearby?" His expression brightened; it had been three days since he entered this place without seeing anyone else, and now finally someone else had appeared.
Ren Pingsheng immediately rushed toward the source of the scream and soon saw three people engaged in battle with a Respect Level Bone Spirit. The situation looked precarious. Without thinking twice, Ren Pingsheng intervened, driving back the Bone Spirit, and then all four of them retreated together.
"Thank you for your timely rescue," one of the three said. All three were at the Perfect Martial Master Realm and were now sitting on the ground without any dignity. For those of them who were relatively ordinary within the Perfect Martial Master Realm, dealing with a Respect Level Bone Spirit was quite difficult; a moment's carelessness could cost them their lives.
"It was just a small effort. I've been alone these past few days; did you all meet on the way?" Ren Pingsheng asked with a smile.
"Not exactly; we gathered together not long ago. Before that, we were all alone. This Sword King Tomb is indeed dangerous; if it weren't for my good luck, I would have been dead by now," one of them complained with a look of lingering fear.
"Oh, so you all met recently. It seems we must be close to the Inheritance Towers in the center," Ren Pingsheng remarked.
"What? Is that true?" The three people who had been lying on the ground immediately stood up excitedly. Their previous fatigue vanished instantly.
"It should be; we have all been following the Sword King Order's guidance toward the central area. Eventually, we will definitely gather at the Inheritance Towers. Since we have started encountering each other now, it indicates that more people will join us soon," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile.
"Haha! Then let's hurry; we can't afford to be late!" The three immediately dashed forward without caring about any dangers.
As they traveled together, Ren Pingsheng learned that these individuals came from various major factions and were all here for the King-Level Inheritance. Two were from the Great Jin Dynasty, while one came from a third-tier sect.
As they continued on their journey, they encountered more and more people; however, everyone remained cautious of each other. They would glance from afar before continuing on their way without any intention of forming deeper connections.
"There's a friend ahead; I’ll go ahead," Ren Pingsheng said upon spotting an acquaintance in the distance. He bid farewell to the three and quickened his pace to leave.
“Situ Kong, I didn't expect you to be so quick,” he said, referring to the familiar face of Situ Kong.
“Ha ha, it's you. It seems you've made quite a bit of progress, have you broken through again?” Situ Kong looked at Ren Pingsheng in surprise after a moment of astonishment.
“Oh, I didn't expect you to not only have impressive strength but also keen eyesight.” A hint of surprise flashed in Ren Pingsheng's eyes. His Azure Emperor's Breath Control Technique concealed his entire cultivation level; even a Supreme Expert might not be able to see through it. Unexpectedly, Situ Kong saw right through him at a glance. It seemed he either had some extraordinary treasure or practiced some secret technique.
“Just some minor tricks,” he replied. Suddenly, his expression changed. Ren Pingsheng immediately realized something and looked up to see towering black spires in the distance, which was quite shocking.
“Is that the Inheritance Tower?” More and more martial artists noticed it. They were all excited and no longer held back, rushing towards the direction of the Inheritance Tower with all their might.
“We should go too!” Situ Kong exclaimed, increasing his speed by double as he shot forward. Ren Pingsheng's expression shifted, his eyes brightening as he followed suit without slowing down.
Half an hour later, everyone came to a halt. They had arrived; the Inheritance Tower was right before them, standing like a black mountain that hadn't changed for thousands of years.
Fewer than six hundred people survived, nearly a hundred less than when they entered the Sword King Tomb. These individuals were all staring intensely at the Inheritance Tower, searching for their own goals.
They all knew that among the one hundred and six Inheritance Towers, only thirty-six contained Heritage. The rest had been claimed by others in the past.
“Everyone, I am Yun Xingzi from the Xuanjian Sect. I have some matters regarding this Inheritance Tower to discuss with you all.” A well-dressed man in white stepped forward.
“Wow… it's actually the Xuanjian Sect! They are the overlords of Snow State!” Many martial artists gasped in shock; for those from Snow State, there was no one who didn't know about the Xuanjian Sect.
“I believe everyone knows that there are only thirty-six Inheritance Towers in the Sword King Tomb, and they contain Heritage. Please take a close look; those dark-colored giant towers have already had their Heritage claimed. There is no more Heritage inside them; at most, they may still hold some treasures.”
“The giant towers that are glowing number exactly thirty-six, which means they still have Heritage. With that said, I trust everyone understands. My request is quite simple: these ten Inheritance Towers belong to our five sects exclusively; no one else can interfere. As for the others, we will not inquire further.” Yun Xingzi said with a smile.
“What a domineering stance from the Xuanjian Sect! But they do have the strength to back it up.” Many martial artists showed dissatisfaction on their faces but dared not speak out. After all, there were still twenty-six other Inheritance Towers, and even if divided equally, each tower would only have about twenty people at most.
Some third-tier forces initially wanted to follow suit but ultimately abandoned the idea upon seeing hundreds of unfriendly-looking martial artists. However, those who survived had around five members each, giving them a significant advantage if they entered.
“By the way, let me remind you that there are various trials within the Inheritance Tower. Everyone should act according to their abilities; otherwise, you might lose your life. Even if you cannot obtain any Heritage, there are still plenty of treasures within these towers. Just obtaining a few can greatly enhance your cultivation,” Yun Xingzi kindly advised.
About five minutes later, all one hundred and eight Inheritance Towers flashed with light and opened their heavy doors. Among them, thirty-six shone particularly brightly. It seemed those were the giant towers with existing Heritage.
Aside from the ten Inheritance Towers divided among the five major sects, all arriving martial artists set their sights on the remaining twenty-six towers and chose one that appealed to them.
“Hehe, I'm heading off first. Do you want to choose this one?” Situ Kong pointed at the nearest tower and asked with a smile.
"Forget it, I don't want to compete with you. I'll just wait and see!" Ren Pingsheng shook his head. Situ Kong's strength was also at the top tier; he didn't want to risk his life over a piece of Heritage. After all, there were many choices this time.
"That's really a pity. Then I wish you good luck." He smiled and stepped into the Inheritance Tower, beginning the test for Heritage. At the same time, other martial artists also chose their preferred Inheritance Towers and entered one after another.
"Why hasn't Yanran arrived yet? Is something wrong?" Although he appeared calm, his heart was already in turmoil. He had thought he would see Chu Yanran here, but unfortunately, she had not shown up until now. Logically speaking, her speed shouldn't be this slow.
After waiting for another ten minutes without seeing her, Ren Pingsheng sighed helplessly, knowing he could not wait any longer. He stepped into a chosen Inheritance Tower.
When he was observing earlier, he noticed that the Young Master of the Evil Sect and Li Kun had entered this Inheritance Tower. This time, besides obtaining Heritage, resolving the issue with Crimson Blood Hand Li Kun was also an important task.
About five minutes later, a figure slowly approached. It was Chu Yanran, but at this moment, her aura clearly indicated that she had reached the High-Level Warrior realm, even higher than Ren Pingsheng. He wondered what kind of fortuitous encounter she had after entering the Sword King Tomb.
"Have you already gone in?" Her gaze was fixed on the Inheritance Tower that Ren Pingsheng had just entered not long ago. It seemed she intentionally came late; she must have known everything that had happened earlier.
"I hope I can obtain Heritage this time! My strength is still too weak!" She murmured to herself before choosing another Inheritance Tower and walking in.
After Ren Pingsheng entered the Inheritance Tower, he walked through a dark passage and entered a hall of over a thousand square meters. There were three entrances leading to the second floor, labeled Heritage, Elixir, and Treasures respectively. It seemed to offer those entering the Inheritance Tower a chance to choose.
"Choices? Perhaps it's just to eliminate those who are insufficiently strong or lack confidence in themselves. King-Level Inheritance isn't something everyone is qualified to obtain. This Heritage must be mine; no one can take it away from me. Whoever tries to take it will be killed! Yanran, I will bring the Heritage out with me," Ren Pingsheng muttered to himself before stepping confidently into the entrance marked Heritage.
His only goal was King-Level Inheritance; perhaps after obtaining Heritage, he would consider the various treasures here if he had time.
