The four iron puppets continued to besiege Lu Xuan. Relying on his nimble movements, Lu Xuan barely managed to maneuver around the puppets, stalling for time. At that moment, he could feel his entire body burning with pain. Although his wounds would heal in time after each attack, the intense pain still seeped into the depths of Lu Xuan's heart.
At that moment, Lu Xuan hated the four iron puppets to the core. Unfortunately, his physical attack power was insufficient. Otherwise, he would definitely have turned them into a pile of scrap metal.
"It's coming again!" Lu Xuan cursed inwardly. The four iron puppets had successfully closed in on him. Lu Xuan had no way of dodging. All he could do was raise both his hands, preventing them from attacking his vital parts.
Just as Lu Xuan closed his eyes and prepared to receive a beating, the opponent's fists did not land on him even after a long time had passed. Puzzled, he lowered his hands. Instantly, he saw the four puppets standing quietly in front of him. One of the puppets' fists was less than a foot away from him. However, there were no signs of it making a move, as though it had exhausted all of its energy.
"You've successfully endured for the time it takes for a joss stick to burn. You've passed the physique tempering test!" A familiar voice rang out, sounding so pleasant to Lu Xuan's ears. He could not help but feel as though he had been pardoned from a great crime, almost causing tears to flow down his cheeks. It's finally time!
Immediately after, the voice rang out once more. There seemed to be a hint of sorrow in its tone. "You've passed the martial technique test, the formation test, and the physique tempering test in succession. You must be someone who cultivates in all three techniques. I never thought that there would still be someone in the Heavenly Sword Continent who could successfully cultivate in all three techniques after this calamity."
Hearing that, Lu Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. There seemed to be a lot of information within those words. The ancient almighty had actually set up the three great tests to find someone who could cultivate in all three techniques. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Continent had actually gone through this calamity. What calamity?
Lu Xuan really wanted to ask, but he knew that this was probably just the words left behind by the opponent. It could not truly answer his question. Also, the ancient almighty didn't seem to have any intention to continue speaking.
After a pause, the voice continued, "You're not even 25 years old and your strength is not beyond the Origin Realm. To be able to pass the three tests proves that your talent is passable and you are qualified to receive my inheritance. However, my inheritance is incomparably precious to the human race. I cannot give it to you easily. Apart from talent, luck is more important. If you have enough luck, you will be able to receive my inheritance. Here, I will bestow you. If you have enough luck, you will naturally know how to use it. "
Lu Xuan saw something suddenly fall in front of him as soon as he finished speaking. He focused his attention and saw that it was a token with a small sword engraved on it.
As Lu Xuan picked up the small sword, he thought back to what the ancient being had just said. The being had said that his lineage was extremely precious to the human race, which made Lu Xuan very confused. Could there be other races? From what he knew, the Heavenly Sword Continent was a world of martial artists. How could there be other races? If demonic beasts were counted, perhaps they could barely be considered as beasts? Or demonic beasts?
There seemed to be more and more questions. Lu Xuan was having a headache just thinking about it. He might as well stop thinking about it. If he could obtain this ancient almighty's inheritance, he might have a chance to decipher it.
Lu Xuan picked up the token in his hand and sized it up. It wasn't made of gold or stone. He didn't know what material it was made of. However, it didn't look ordinary and it was quite old. Thinking about it, this ancient almighty's abode must have existed for a long time.
But when Lu Xuan flipped the token over and saw the small sword carved on it, he couldn't help but shiver!
This … isn't this the Masked Dust Sword?!
The small sword carved on the token looked exactly the same as the Masked Dust Sword!
Lu Xuan was certain that he wouldn't recognize it wrongly. Although the Masked Dust Sword looked very ordinary, it had its own unique characteristics. During this period of time, he had studied the Masked Dust Sword, so he had a very deep impression of it. Moreover, the small sword carved on the token was very clear. Even the lines could be seen clearly. There was no difference at all.
To be on the safe side, Lu Xuan couldn't help but take out the Masked Dust Sword from his storage ring and compare it. It was exactly the same!
This discovery caused Lu Xuan's mind to be in a mess. The Masked Dust Sword was related to this ancient almighty's abode again? Could it be that the Masked Dust Sword was the sword of this ancient almighty? That didn't seem impossible. It was a pity that he didn't ask Master whether the Masked Dust Sword was discovered by the Profound Ice Pavilion's seniors in this area of the stone city.
Lu Xuan's thoughts turned rapidly. No matter what, this should be a good thing. He obtained the token that this ancient almighty gave him and also possessed the Masked Dust Sword that looked exactly the same as the token. This meant that he indeed had a great destiny with this ancient almighty. Perhaps he really had a chance to obtain the true inheritance.
Putting away the Masked Dust Sword and the token token, Lu Xuan was still thinking about the pleasant surprise that the ancient almighty spoke of. He didn't know if there were any other things apart from this token.
As expected, the ancient almighty's voice rang out again. "These four puppets were casually refined by me. Perhaps they will be of some help to your current strength. You can control them after leaving your own soul imprint in the formation on their heads. Take them away."
Lu Xuan was slightly startled. Could it be that these four puppets weren't illusions, but real objects? He doubtfully probed one of the puppets with his Spiritual Strength. Sure enough, he found a formation. Following that, he left his own soul imprint in it. Immediately, he felt that the puppet was completely under his control.
Lu Xuan was pleasantly surprised by that discovery. Those four puppets had given him a good beating just now, and he wanted nothing more than to smash them into smithereens. However, since they were now his, Lu Xuan decided to be generous and let them go. Looking at those four puppets now, he felt very close to them.
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan left his soul imprint in all four puppets. Then, he put them away into his Storage Ring. This was a powerful battle force!
When the four puppets disappeared, the ancient almighty said, "Enter the Inner Hall."
After saying that, Lu Xuan felt the scene in front of him disappear. After a moment of absentmindedness, he appeared in an unfamiliar environment. Only now did Lu Xuan remember that he had participated in the test to enter the Inner Hall. Too many things had happened during the test, so much so that Lu Xuan had almost forgotten about it.
And at this moment, silhouettes appeared beside Lu Xuan one after another. Impressively, they were the cultivators that had entered together with him. After Lu Xuan had passed the test, they were finally able to leave the formation and enter the Inner Hall.
As soon as they came out, countless people began to complain about how long they had waited in the formation. Only now did Lu Xuan realize that he had delayed everyone's time. But of course, he didn't say anything. It was fine as long as he remained silent.
"Bing-er!" When Lu Xuan saw Zhao Bing-er, he immediately called out to her.
"I don't know who was delayed in the formation for so long. I thought we would be trapped in the formation forever," Zhao Bing-er walked over and complained to Lu Xuan. Obviously, she had suffered a lot.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said in a low voice, "It's me …"
Zhao Bing-er looked at him in surprise and said, "It's you? With your strength and talent, it should be very easy for you to pass the test. "
Lu Xuan spread his hands and said, "I participated in three tests. Moreover, I cultivated in the formation for a while."
Hearing this explanation, Zhao Bing-er suddenly understood. She had also received a hint asking if she wanted to take another test. Unfortunately, she had no knowledge in body refining and talisman dao, so she couldn't pass.
Zhao Bing-er didn't ask in detail. Instead, she looked around and said, "Kitten didn't come in. It seems that she didn't pass the test."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Actually, for her, this might not be a bad thing. If there really is a great treasure in the Inner Hall, it may not be as peaceful as the Outer Hall."
Zhao Bing-er deeply agreed. It was precisely because the Outer Hall was so badly damaged that there weren't many treasures at all. That was why no one had the thought of taking action. Otherwise, just the Elixir Room and the Book Collection Pavilion could cause countless murders.
At this moment, there were already many warriors who couldn't restrain themselves and began to quickly walk towards the Inner Hall, hoping to be the first to find the treasure. Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing-er also didn't delay any longer and also quickly walked forward.
Lu Xuan noticed that there were fewer warriors entering the Inner Hall. Obviously, many people had been eliminated by the test. However, those who remained were all powerful people. Among them, the Jiuhua Alliance had the most people. The four rank four sects only had a little more than ten people. The number of independent practitioners was even fewer, only three people. In the end, this world was still the world of the big sects. It was clear at a glance here.
The people of the Profound Ice Pavilion were divided into three groups. In fact, they were the forces of the three great elders. Yang Weili had four people, Leng Qingqiu had six people, and Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing-er. In total, there were twelve people. One by one, they quickly rushed forward in groups of three to five.
The Inner Hall was not like the Outer Hall, where all the rooms were concentrated in one palace. There were many small palaces scattered around the Inner Hall. From the appearance of these palaces, it could be seen that the Inner Hall was much better preserved than the Outer Hall. Presumably, there should be well-preserved treasures inside, unlike the Outer Hall, which was almost completely destroyed.
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment before heading to a place with the least number of people. Without any clues, the chances of finding treasures in this place were the same. At the very least, the direction with the least number of people would allow him to avoid competition to a certain extent.
Zhao Bing-er followed closely behind Lu Xuan. The two of them quickly rushed into a palace. They pushed open the doors, but found that all the rooms were empty. Saying that they were empty was a bit of an exaggeration. There were still some simple furnishings, but they couldn't be called treasures at all.
