Chapter 451: Inheritance Trial (Part 1)

Seven days passed in a flash.

Li Mu followed Taoist Huang Long and his party out to sea, and arrived at the sea 500 miles southeast of Dongyun Island on his sword.

It was late at night, and the starry sky was bright, as if the stars between heaven and earth were cheering for the Lingxu Fukushima that was about to appear.

The sea was calm, and only the occasional sound of waves from afar broke the silence of the night. Li Mu stood on the sword, staring at the deep sea ahead, his heart full of expectation and tension.

Taoist Huang Long stood not far away, and next to him was an old man in a white robe. He held an ancient compass and was carefully observing the stars and the compass needle. His face was serious, as if he was waiting for some important moment.

At this moment, a strange wave suddenly appeared in the sky, as if some mysterious force was pulling the stars. Then, the originally scattered stars in the starry sky began to move slowly, gradually arranging into a special pattern-Lingxu Star Array!

"The Lingxu Star Array is complete, and Lingxu Fudao is about to appear!" The white-robed monk suddenly shouted loudly, with an excited look on his face.

As the white-robed monk's words fell, a huge wave suddenly surged on the sea, as if something was rising from the bottom of the sea. Then, a huge island seemed to have removed the covering array and appeared on the sea out of thin air. The island was shining with golden light and full of mysterious atmosphere.

"That is Lingxu Fudao, fellow Taoists, what are you waiting for!" Taoist Huanglong showed an excited smile on his face and gestured.

He took the lead in flying his sword and flew straight towards the direction of Lingxu Fudao. The Lianxu monks urged their magic weapons and spirit swords one after another, and for a while, the sky was shining with light, and the spiritual power of various magic weapons intertwined into a gorgeous light curtain, reflecting the entire sea surface.

Li Mu followed Taoist Huang Long closely, flying on his sword

As everyone approached Lingxu Fudao, the scene on the island became clearer and clearer. The soil on Lingxu Fudao was red and lush, with spiritual herbs and medicines everywhere, and spiritual beasts shuttled through the forest from time to time. There was a towering mountain in the center of the island, piercing the sky, as if connected to the sky and the earth.

Taoist Huang Long landed on the island, looked around, and showed a satisfied smile on his face. He turned to the monks and said, "Lingxu Fudao is indeed worthy of its reputation. It has rich spiritual energy and many high-level spiritual medicines, but everyone must remember that there are guardian spirit beasts and powerful restrictions on the island. Don't be careless."

The monks nodded in agreement and began to explore the island carefully. Li Mu followed closely, searching around the island.

Suddenly, Li Mu's eyes lit up, and a golden light flashed, sweeping across the island.

The next moment, when Li Mu regained his clarity of mind, the scene in front of him had changed. Looking around, there was a piece of yellow sand. There was only one person left in the whole world, and a giant stone statue stood in front of him.

Li Mu's expression changed slightly, surprised by this sudden change. Looking around, the yellow sand was endless, the sky was dim, and the originally lush Lingxu Fudao had disappeared, replaced by this unfamiliar desert.

"Where is this?" Li Mu's expression was stern, trying to find the figures of other monks, but except for the giant stone statue, there was no one around.

The stone statue in front was a hundred feet high, with a blurred face, but it exuded an indescribable majesty. Li Mu released his spiritual sense and soon found something at the feet of the stone statue. There were four golden runes engraved there. Although eroded by time, some of the handwriting could still be vaguely recognized.

Putting the spiritual sense in those runes and reading the information contained in them, "boom", the information contained in the mysterious golden runes suddenly poured into Li Mu's mind.

As Li Mu's consciousness was injected, one of the four golden runes lit up with golden light.

Li Mu opened his eyes and woke up. He had already understood what was going on with the sudden appearance of this mysterious space, and also knew the information recorded in the four golden runes.

Looking at the golden runes attached to his arm, Li Mu took a deep breath, and invested his consciousness into the Painting World Treasure House, summoning the Black Jade Rock Lizard-Xiao Wa, the Red Refining Fire Phoenix, and Xue'er together.

The next moment, three figures quickly appeared beside him under Li Mu's summons.

First was the Black Jade Rock Lizard-Xiao Wa, which transformed into a strong man wearing black scale armor. He was taller than Li Mu, and looked at Li Mu honestly, looking around, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if he had noticed something.

"Master, where is this? Such a rich earth elemental spiritual power!" Xiao Wa exclaimed with a buzzing voice.

The red fire phoenix, with feathers all over her body as red as flames, spread her wings, circled in the air, and quickly transformed into a charming woman wearing a fiery red long skirt. She looked around with surprise and felt unusual.

Finally, Xue'er, dressed in white, like a fairy on the top of a snowy mountain, pure and elegant, walked to Li Mu with a gentle smile on her face, and only Li Mu in her eyes, full of dependence.

"This is the Diyuan Secret Realm. Quick, put your consciousness on those golden runes and record them quickly to avoid being beaten by others." Li Mu quickly explained to the three people.

Hearing this, the three people were slightly stunned, but they still followed Li Mu's instructions and put their consciousness on those golden runes. Then, the remaining three golden runes lit up with a burst of golden light, as if they were alive and full of life.

Xiao Wa got the golden rune information, opened his eyes and woke up, looking at the golden runes that suddenly appeared on his arm, and was shocked.

"Master, this! Is this for us to participate in the inheritance trial?" Xiao Wa looked at Li Mu with surprise and joy and asked.

"That's right, the inheritance of a supreme Taoist. I didn't expect that Chi Hong Taoist would choose the inheritor in this way." Li Mu nodded, looked up at the huge stone sculpture in front of him, and was inexplicably excited. If he could pass the trial this time and obtain the lifelong learning of this supreme Taoist, his future path of cultivation would become extremely smooth.

"Master, this is the inheritance of the Taoist, we..." Chi Lian Huo Feng hesitated, feeling uneasy about the trial method of this inheritance.

Xue'er's face was pale, and she grabbed Li Mu's hand with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry! This inheritance is a little dangerous, but not fatal. If it doesn't work, don't force it. Erase the golden talisman on your arm and you can withdraw from this trial." Li Mu smiled slightly, looking at the golden talisman attached to his right arm and introduced.

Under the innate magical power-recognition of all spirits, Li Mu learned the function of the golden talisman. This golden talisman is the key to accept this inheritance. It has a little self-protection effect, just like the role of the sword tower amulet of Xuantian Sword Sect.

This trial inheritance is not fatal. If you know that you are not strong enough, you can safely exit the secret space by erasing the gold removal. However, this also means missing the inheritance. If you insist on the trial to the end, you may risk your life.

However, the inheritance of this Chihong Daojun is not so easy to get. It is not easy to pass the two inheritance trials smoothly.

There are a total of 100 giant stone statues like this in this secret realm, which means that there will be 400 trialists participating in the first trial together. As the trial begins, this inheritance space will produce various desperate situations and traps, constantly compressing the limited space. Only the team that survives the desperate situation in the successful confrontation can be qualified to continue to participate in the next round of trials.

Li Mu stared at the stone statue and waited for the number of people to gather and wait for the trial inheritance to start.

At this time, the appearance of Lingxu Fudao caused a great uproar in the Donghuan Sea, sweeping the entire sea in an instant, attracting the attention of countless high-level cultivators. They came from all directions like a tide, and the entire Donghuan Sea was ignited, and countless cultivators were boiling.

Those hermits who usually lived in seclusion in the mountains and practiced on the islands appeared one after another and rushed towards Lingxu Fudao. Their appearance undoubtedly added more highlights to this event.

At this time, the surroundings of Lingxu Island were surrounded by low-level cultivators who were watching the excitement. From Yuanying to foundation building, the powerful spiritual pressure and restrictions emitted by Lingxu Fudao prevented cultivators below Yuanying from going to the island. They could only watch around the island and witness this rare grand occasion in a thousand years.

"Look, those four dragon mounts? Is the one on top the island owner of Yinling Island-Zun Qinglong!" A sharp-eyed Yuanying cultivator exclaimed in a low voice.

As soon as the voice fell, it caused an uproar among the surrounding monks. The Azure Dragon Venerable was a giant in the East Fantasy Sea. His strength was unfathomable and he was the object of admiration of many monks.

With the appearance of the Azure Dragon Venerable, the monks in the entire sea area were boiling. They talked about it and speculated what kind of opportunity the Azure Dragon Venerable would look for and what kind of rare spiritual treasure he would get when Lingxu Fudao appeared this time.

Just as they watched the Azure Dragon Venerable enter the island, the next moment, a blue thunder flashed and followed the Azure Dragon Venerable, and landed on the Lingdao impatiently.

"The one who just flew over was the leader of the Thousand Thunder Sect-Master Lei Ming!"

Watching the blue lightning go away, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the monks present.

"The people from Qianye Island are here too!" Another monk pointed to a huge warship in the distance and shouted. On the warship, the flags were flying and the deck was full of monks. They were the people from Qianye Island. Their arrival undoubtedly added more excitement to this event.

As exclamations rang out, the cultivators around Lingxu Fudao, whether they were Yuanying cultivators or Jindan cultivators, all showed expressions of surprise and excitement. They were either talking in low voices, or whispering to each other, or concentrating on watching, and the whole scene was very lively.

At this moment, the tranquility of the sky was broken by a sudden black light. The black light was like a comet falling from the starry sky, with a sharp momentum, cutting through the sky and instantly descending in front of everyone. The black light dissipated, and a burly man appeared, his hair was loose and dancing wildly in the wind, as if he was venting endless demonic thoughts. He was wearing a magic armor covered with spikes, and every inch of the armor reflected a dark light, and the monstrous demonic energy emanating from the magic armor was like a huge wave in the dark, surging and stained the surrounding air with a trace of demonic thoughts.

His eyes were like a cold blade, sweeping across the cultivators present, and there was no emotion in his cold eyes, as if he just regarded everyone as ants. The low-level monks who were originally talking in low voices felt the powerful demonic pressure, their faces turned pale instantly, and their voices stopped abruptly as if they were frozen. They were filled with fear, as if they had difficulty breathing in front of this demon god.

However, the man did not seem to take everyone seriously, and his mind had long been attracted by Lingxu Fudao. He frowned slightly, as if he was looking for something, but he did not find the person he was looking for. So, he shook his body and instantly turned into a strong demonic energy, like a black storm, madly rolling towards Lingxu Fudao, and then rushed into the mysterious island.

"Oh my God! Who is that person? His eyes are so scary. I feel like he can crush me to death with just one thought!" A low-level monk shouted in horror, with an unconcealable tremor in his voice.

"Is that the owner of the Demon Island?" A monk guessed.

As soon as this was said, someone shook his head and denied: "No, it's not him. How can the Blood Demon Ancestor be so powerful? Besides, he has already entered the island. This one seems to have hurried here from a farther place."

"That demonic energy is too terrible. His cultivation is probably above the Refining Void!" A well-informed Yuanying cultivator said in horror, with a hint of fear and unbelievable shock in his voice.

"Above the Refining Void? How is it possible!" This exclamation echoed among the cultivators for a long time, like a boulder thrown into the lake, stirring up layers of ripples. Everyone's face was full of disbelief. The Refining Void Realm was already out of reach for them, and now, they actually saw a strong man of a higher realm with their own eyes.

"A demon cultivator in the Fusion Realm? Where did he come from!"

Someone trembled in his voice, trying to explore the origin of this mysterious strong man. Demon cultivators in the Fusion Realm almost do not exist in the entire Donghuan Sea Area, and few people mention them. Now they have appeared in the world because of Lingxu Fukushima. I wonder how much blood and rain will blow.

"Let's go! This place is not suitable for staying for long!" A Yuanying cultivator looked at his companion anxiously and gestured. His voice was full of fear. With such a strong man intervening, who knows what will happen next.

Hearing this, many low-level cultivators were not prepared to join in the fun. With the appearance of the combined demon cultivator, the opportunity of Lingxu Fudao was no longer something they could participate in. Those cultivators who originally had a fluke mentality also woke up at this moment and began to evacuate.

The fleeing cultivators retreated like a tide. They were panic-stricken and fled in all directions regardless of everything, fearing that they would be spotted by the combined demon cultivator if they were a step late. On the sea and in the sky, all kinds of magic tools and spirit beasts flew away.

In the chaos, some low-level cultivators chose to stay. The appearance of Lingxu Fudao was a rare event in a thousand years. Although it was full of dangers, it also contained endless opportunities. They were willing to risk their lives to pursue that possible opportunity.

Thus, in this chaotic sea, some people fled, while others stayed, forming a stark contrast. (End of this chapter)
