The pitch-black world was filled with silence. There was no sound, no light. Even Wang Baole and the other two were submerged in this darkness. Only the inner worlds of the three of them were filled with light at this moment!
When Zhao Yameng woke up, she did not notice that she no longer had a body. It was as if she only had a wisp of her consciousness left, floating in a starry sky filled with a sea of fire.
The starry sky was filled with a special flame. This sea of fire covered an endless area. While it burned the stars, it also caused the entire starry sky to shatter.
Zhao Yameng, who was drifting aimlessly in this shattering starry sky, did not know how much time had passed until she saw a tree in the depths of this sea of fire!
It was an incomparably huge tree that seemed to be even more vast than the stars!
Even though she had always been calm, when she saw this tree, her heart trembled violently. It was as if in front of this tree, even planets were just toys. There were also faces growing on this tree. There were so many faces that it was impossible to count them all. There were humans, beasts, and all sorts of strange species. There were at least hundreds of millions of them. At the same time, these faces were whispering softly.
Every time they whispered, a wisp of light would fly out from the inside of this Big Tree and fuse with the faces. At the same time, it made the faces shine even brighter, as if they had obtained some sort of mysterious power. Therefore, in Zhao Yameng's eyes, besides the Big Tree and the faces, there were also countless wisps of light shuttling back and forth in this tree. It was as if they would never stop shuttling between these faces …
All of this made Zhao Yameng forget to leave. She stood there in a daze and stared at the Big Tree in front of her. Then, a calm and dignified voice came from the Big Tree and echoed in Zhao Yameng's consciousness.
"New successor, being able to come here means that you have obtained the qualifications. Then, I will abide by the agreement with your sect's elders and accept you as a personal disciple. Now … are you willing to accept my legacy and become one of the hundred personal disciples above my trillions of disciples?"
Zhao Yameng's consciousness trembled. As if she had been blessed by a stroke of good luck, she bowed to the towering ancient tree in the starry sky before her.
"This disciple is willing!"
As Zhao Yameng spoke, a ray of light flew out from the ancient tree and entered the space between Zhao Yameng's eyebrows. Zhao Yameng's body trembled. Among the many faces on the ancient tree, Zhao Yameng's face appeared with her eyes closed. However, her face was located very high up, indicating that her identity was different!
After a long moment passed, Zhao Yameng opened her eyes and looked up into the starry sky.
"What is Master's name?"
"Someone once called me … Ecang!"
"Ecang …" This name seemed to contain a strange power. It echoed through the galaxy, causing the sea of fire to erupt and burning even more planets. It was also deeply imprinted in Zhao Yameng's mind.
At the same time, the world in Zhuo Yifan's mind was different from Zhao Yameng's. There was no sea of fire in front of his eyes, and neither was there a Big Tree. There was only … an army's grave!
It was a boundless and vast graveyard for soldiers. As far as the eye could see, the ground was filled with countless weapons. These weapons seemed to contain all the items from civilizations in the galaxy. There were far too many of them, and Zhuo Yifan did not recognize them. In fact, there were even a large number of weapons floating in the sky. Even the sky … was formed by a gigantic war drum!
As he stared at the army's grave before him, Zhuo Yifan floated forward in a daze. He did not look at any of the weapons. Instead, he followed the murmurs beside his ears and floated forward continuously. He did not know how much time had passed, and he did not know how far he had floated. When he finally stopped, there was a mountain of swords in front of him!
At the peak of the mountain sat a middle-aged woman. She looked like a man. Her legs were spread open, and she supported her chin with one hand. There was an intimidating look in her eyes, and she stared at Zhuo Yifan with a look of disdain.
"If it were in the past, I would not even look at a Postnatal Weapon Physique. Even if it were an Innate Weapon Physique, I would still grab a handful of them. But now … forget it. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Boy, I may have passed away, but I still owe your sect a promise when I was alive. If I don't fulfill it, I won't be able to rest in peace even after I die.
"Greetings, Master!" Zhuo Yifan was stunned for a moment before he immediately cupped his fist and bowed without any hesitation. "Greetings, Master!"
For Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan, what seemed to be strange was actually a special kind of inheritance. In the reincarnation cycle of the starry sky, the imprints of the experts from countless epochs were reflected in their inner worlds in a similar way to a projection.
To a certain extent, the images in their inner worlds were subconscious thoughts or dreams that the cultivators themselves might not be aware of.
For example, Zhao Yameng's inner world was a sea of fire. This did not mean that there was violence hidden in her personality. Instead, under her calm exterior, there was determination and determination, as well as an unyielding will. However, she also had a subconscious desire to destroy!
More accurately speaking, she was a woman who could not be easily provoked. Once provoked, her vengeance and outburst would be like a sea of fire that would burn everything!
As for Zhuo Yifan, his inner world was a tomb of soldiers. This meant that his subconscious was filled with pessimism. The soldiers represented himself, and the tomb … represented his burial ground.
Different inner worlds would lead to different projected legacies. However, this was the case for the Vast Expanse Dao Palace in the past. After all, many cultivators had come for the trial. Even though many had failed and died, there would still be an endless stream of cultivators who would come for the trial. Now … in a situation where there were too many monks and too little porridge, everything was different.
However, at the end of the day, this was the true heritage of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Now, it could be considered a blessing for Wang Baole and the other two. However, they were the chosen ones and did not have much authority.
The invisible figures here were all projections. Most of them were the lingering spirits of former disciples of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace who had been forced to stay here after they had failed their trials and died. There were also some who were special imprints of their inheritance, which was why the Soul Guiding Hand couldn't capture them.
As for Wang Baole, he was also in the process of inheriting the legacy. However, his inner world was very strange …
It was a world that was colorful and different from the rest, containing many different regions!
After his consciousness was awakened, the first thing he saw was … a world full of fat people. This world was huge, and the men and women in it were all fat people. Any one of them looked much fatter than Wang Baole. If his physical body could be here, he would definitely be unusually slim and handsome.
"Is this heaven …?" After Wang Baole saw everything around him clearly, his heart trembled. He was stunned for a long time before he swayed forward. Along the way, he saw the heaven of his dreams.
After a long time, he walked to the end of this world. There, he saw another world. It was a familiar starry sky, familiar stars, familiar … a lonely boat, a black robe, and a lantern oar!
This was the Dark Sect in his memories!
Terrifying auras emanated from the stars in the Dark Sect's starry sky. This was especially so on the Dark Sect's main planet. There were even more of these auras. In fact, Wang Baole could even feel his master's aura!
His heart trembled as he hurriedly floated forward. However, for some reason, he could not get close. It was as if the starry sky was stretched endlessly in the direction of the Dark Sect's main planet. After a long time, Wang Baole sighed silently. He changed directions and slowly left the Dark Sect's world, arriving in the third world.
This third world was very quiet. There was only one picture scroll, which was unfurled endlessly. There was a seven or eight-year-old girl in the picture scroll. She looked cute and mischievous. She opened her arms to a white-haired man beside her. She seemed to be calling for her father so that the white-haired man could carry her.
When he saw the girl, Wang Baole's first thought was that she was a big sister. As for the white-robed man, Wang Baole only took one look at him, and it was as if thunder had exploded in his heart. At the same time, the sound of Dao scriptures echoed in his ears.
This made Wang Baole's heart tremble for no reason. He hurriedly floated away. Soon, he arrived in the fourth world. It was similar to the third world, but it was much smaller. It was quiet inside, and there was only one statue. This statue had three heads and six arms, and it exuded a terrifying aura. There was also a blue mosquito on its head, glaring angrily at Wang Baole.
"Never-Ending Clan?" Wang Baole was stunned. He instinctively dodged. Just like that, he quickly arrived in the fifth world.
In this world, there was a gigantic heart!
This heart had stopped beating long ago, but there was no aura of death. Instead, there was an earth-shattering suction force that shook the entire world!
"This is … a devouring seed?!"
