God Territory, Blood Sickle Shelter, Death's Scythe headquarters.
A white-haired young man sat at the head of the conference room, frowning. He had been in a state of silence.
Fallen Star and the other two stood at the conference table, not daring to breathe too loudly.
The three of them had just returned from the Great Heaven Territory and brought back the news that Lin Huang had not returned from the Great Heaven Territory.
"I don't think Boss Xie Lin died in the Great Heaven Territory. Maybe he's still participating in the Great Heaven Inheritance Trial, so he was sent out at a different time from us. "Destiny was Lin Huang's die-hard fan, so he had always believed that Xie Lin could not have died just like that. Seeing that the young man at the head of the table had not spoken for a long time, he mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
The white-haired young man lifted his head and glanced at the three of them. "Alright, you three can go back. I know what happened. "
"Yes, Master Zang Tian!" The three of them responded and quickly left.
Zang Tian remained in the conference room and did not leave. Instead, he looked down at a name on his contact list — Xie Lin.
"You initiated the Competitive Trial, defeated Unrivaled God and the others, took first place in the Trial, and obtained the Trial qualification for the Great Heaven Inheritance that no one has activated for over 300,000 years … You've created miracles time and time again. Will you really die in the Great Heaven Territory?"
No one knew if Zang Tian was asking himself or Lin Huang when he said this in a low voice.
…
Half a month passed by quickly.
Everyone in Death's Scythe no longer doubted that Xie Lin had died in the Great Heaven Territory.
Even Destiny, who had always believed that Lin Huang had not died, no longer used the excuse that Xie Lin might still be participating in the Inheritance Trial.
Zang Tian, who had always doubted whether Lin Huang was still alive, no longer had any expectations for Xie Lin's survival.
However, early in the morning, Zang Tian, who was in a meeting with a few Gold Sickles, suddenly received a message from an unknown number.
"Iron Fist Shelter, 120 meters from the entrance of the Death's Scythe branch, storage locker 0613, password 9527. There's something you want inside.]
Zang Tian only glanced at it for a moment before his eyes seemed to be glued to the information page.
Although the message was not signed and came from an unknown number, Zang Tian saw the words "Iron Fist Shelter" at first glance.
This was the shelter where Xie Lin had handed in the Zerg Tribe Queen Mother mission!
The first thought that popped into Buried Heaven's mind was that it was Lin Huang who had sent it.
This was because not many people knew his personal communication number. Apart from a few Blood Sickle members and a few Gold Sickle members who were on good terms with them, there were only a few extremely outstanding juniors, such as Xie Lin and Fallen Star.
"You guys continue. I have something to deal with." After confirming that the sender of the message was most likely Xie Lin, Zang Tian called out to the few Gold Sickle cultivators present. He got up, summoned a small green snake, and teleported away.
In the conference room, several Gold Sickle cultivators looked at each other.
This was the first time they had seen Zang Tian absent in the middle of a meeting.
A few minutes later, Zang Tian appeared at the entrance of the Iron Fist Shelter's Death's Scythe branch.
He glanced around and quickly saw a locker not far away.
In a flash, he appeared in front of the locker. Zang Tian's gaze quickly locked on locker 0613.
Without any hesitation, he entered the password provided in the message.
After the password was entered, there was a "click", and the locker door sprang open automatically.
There was a palm-sized package inside.
Zang Tian reached out to retrieve the package and opened it on the spot.
Inside the package was a small metal piece the size of a thumb. When he saw this metal piece, Zang Tian's eyes lit up.
"You're still alive!"
He had given this metal piece to Lin Huang before the Great Heaven Territory opened. It was used to record information about the inheritance.
After putting the metal piece into his storage space, Zang Tian summoned the little green snake again without hesitation and disappeared from where he was.
When he reappeared, he had returned to the Death's Scythe headquarters.
However, he did not return to the conference room. Instead, he went straight to his palace.
The door of the god sequence relic palace was tightly shut, and all the layers of barriers were activated. Zang Tian then took out the black metal piece from before again and carefully probed it with his Divine Telekinesis.
A moment later, his vision blurred, and he found himself in an unfamiliar starry sky.
He saw a stalwart man holding a sword with one hand. With a simple swing of the sword without any technique to speak of, the countless stars in the entire galaxy before him trembled wildly.
The next instant, the galaxy broke and disintegrated into two halves, as if a piece of white paper had been cut in half by a knife.
Zang Tian looked down. He did not know when his body had been cut in half at the waist. His vision turned black, and his consciousness returned to his body.
When his consciousness returned, his entire body was soaked in cold sweat, and he was panting heavily.
"Is this really something a heavenly god-level can do?!"
Although he had long known that Great Heaven, a peerless genius who had dominated an era, would definitely be more powerful than him, Zang Tian did not expect the difference in strength between him and his opponent to be so great.
If he really encountered him, he would be killed instantly!
Zang Tian smiled bitterly and helplessly.
His opponent had just casually swung his sword, and he was completely unable to defend himself.
After a long while, his mind, which had been disturbed by the sword just now, completely calmed down.
"Xie Lin, what kind of monster are you, to be able to accept even this guy's inheritance?!"
…
At this moment, Lin Huang was no longer in the Iron Fist Shelter.
In order to avoid being targeted, he stayed in the Great Heaven Territory for another half a month. He had just arrived in the God Territory with 68 Sword Servants a day ago.
Since the identity of Xie Lin could no longer be used, he wore the Thousand Face Mask and changed his face when he arrived this time.
He went to the Iron Fist Shelter as soon as he could, while the Sword Servants scattered and hid in the other grade-3 and grade-4 Shelters around the Iron Fist Shelter.
As soon as he arrived at the Iron Fist Shelter, Lin Huang once again contacted Yang Ling. This was a big deal. Not only did he have to create a new identity for himself, but he also had to create fake identities for each of the 68 Sword Servants.
Yang Ling was a little speechless when she suddenly received such a big deal.
After resting for a night at the Iron Fist Shelter, Lin Huang took Dao 301 and Sword302 to a nearby grade-4 Shelter to prepare for the next step of his plan.
Including the time he had spent in the Great Heaven Territory, it had been almost half a year since he had left the gravel world. This made it even more urgent for him to improve his abilities.
Before this, Lin Huang's combat strength had been stuck at grade-9 imperial-level, and he did not feel like he had reached the critical point of imperial-level.
Lin Huang, who originally did not know what to do, finally found a solution after accepting Great Heaven's inheritance.
It was not that a similar situation had occurred in Great Heaven's inheritance memory, but the way Great Heaven dealt with the problem had allowed him to find a solution.
Since he had not reached the critical point for a breakthrough, he would continue to refine more Godheads until he sensed the critical point!
