Victory!
It was so simple. The sense of danger and pressure in Chen Zong's heart disappeared quietly.
A hundred years ago, Chen Zong still felt a sense of urgency and constantly grasped every opportunity to improve himself. A hundred years later, he won easily. It seemed that his efforts were very effective.
"Young man, congratulations on your victory. You can obtain the true inheritance of the Lord." The skinny old man's gaze turned and landed on Chen Zong's face. He did not care about the two people who were killed.
The strong preyed on the weak. Moreover, he was not a real person. He was just a spirit.
"Young man, do you know that the Lord's relics appear once every ten thousand years? Every ten thousand years, there will be a person who obtains the Lord's true inheritance." The skinny old man's eyes suddenly flashed. "However, that is not the Lord's core inheritance. It's just an ordinary inheritance."
Hearing this, Chen Zong could not help but be shocked.
Ordinary inheritance!
It was just an ordinary inheritance. There were more core inheritances.
It was really shocking.
"Young man, do you only want the Lord's ordinary inheritance? Or do you want the core inheritance? "The skinny old man asked with a smile.
Without a doubt, the core inheritance was the true inheritance of the Lord of the World. Its value was definitely not something an ordinary inheritance could compare to.
"How can I obtain the core inheritance?" Chen Zong's heart thumped loudly, but he did not lose his rationality. Since there was such a difference, it would not be easy to obtain the core inheritance. There might be some conditions.
"If you only want the ordinary inheritance, I can give it to you now." The skinny old man smiled. "However, I suggest you choose the latter. You only need to go through a small test and you can obtain the Lord's core inheritance."
To be honest, Chen Zong was very tempted.
The skinny monkey-like old man narrowed his eyes with a faint smile on his face, but he didn't say anything else.
Choose!
It was up to Chen Zong to choose.
A small test?
He could obtain the core inheritance of a Realm Seven Emperor-level powerhouse?
It sounded wonderful, but what kind of test was this so-called small test?
What was the extent of the word "small"?
After all, many things were relative. To a Sixth Realm or Seventh Realm cultivator, it might be insignificant, but to a Third Realm or Fourth Realm cultivator, it might be fatal.
Although Chen Zong was interested in the core inheritance of the World Lords, he did not lose his mind on impulse.
Under the Heart Sutra, Chen Zong's thinking speed was incomparably fast. In the blink of an eye, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. He was constantly analyzing and speculating.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Chen Zong's mind, but in fact, in just three short breaths, a bright light flashed in his eyes and he made a decision.
"I choose the latter, the core inheritance," Chen Zong said directly, his tone firm.
This was the final decision Chen Zong had made after much analysis and speculation and listening to his heart.
"Okay." The skinny old man's smile faded, and his expression turned solemn. In fact, what he said just now, the so-called small test and so on, was also an invisible test to see if Chen Zong had the courage to choose the core inheritance. "Since you've made your choice, then I'll tell you. In the past, there have been people who chose the core inheritance, but when they accepted the test, they couldn't pass and died.
"Until now, no one has been able to pass the core inheritance test of the Lord." A faint smile appeared on the old man's face again. He did it on purpose. At the beginning, he said it was a small test to wait for Chen Zong to make his choice. If Chen Zong chose the ordinary inheritance of the former, there would naturally be no follow-up. However, Chen Zong chose the core inheritance of the latter, so the old man threw out this information.
"Are you sure you want to choose the core inheritance?" The old man's eyes narrowed, shooting out a beam of endless divine light. An indescribable pressure also hit Chen Zong, intimidating Chen Zong's spirit.
Chen Zong only felt a wave of pressure on his spirit. The old man's words almost shook his mind and changed his mind.
"I … am … sure!" Chen Zong gritted his teeth to keep his mind clear, and said word by word in a low and powerful tone.
Saying those three words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
In fact, in the previous few breaths, Chen Zong's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had already thought about many things. The situation mentioned by the skinny old man was also in Chen Zong's analysis and speculation.
Therefore, when he heard the old man's last teasing words, Chen Zong's spirit was not really shaken, and he did not change his mind because of it.
The skinny old man was really surprised this time.
It must be known that although his words seemed to be a prank, they were actually probing, or perhaps a test. First, it was a small test to relax or disturb Chen Zong's state of mind and judgment. Then, it carried the power of words that could shake one's soul and will, and it was like a fatal blow.
If Chen Zong's spirit was not strong enough, if Chen Zong's spirit was not strong enough, if Chen Zong's spirit was not strong enough, if Chen Zong's spirit was not strong enough, if there was a small mistake in one of the links, he would be directly shaken, and then doubt his own decision. In the end, he could be firm in his choice again, or he could be overturned.
However, no matter which one it was, as long as he was self-doubting and in doubt, the old man would directly judge that Chen Zong could not pass the test, and lose the qualification to obtain the core inheritance of the World Lord.
In the past, there were people who chose the core inheritance, but most of them fell into self-doubt and failed, and could only obtain the ordinary inheritance. A few of them were firm in their choice, but in the end, they failed.
As a result, until now, the core inheritance of the World Lord still existed.
Now, Chen Zong, like a few people before, chose the latter, and passed the test.
"Very good, young man, you are qualified to obtain the core inheritance of the World Lord." The skinny old man smiled and said, "But I still have to remind you, if you can't really get the core inheritance's approval, only death will await you. But unfortunately, I have already given you a chance to go back on your word. Now, you can only accept the core inheritance."
The skinny old man's last words had a trace of unquestionable dominance.
The subtext seemed to be saying that since he had made a choice and passed the test, if he went back on his word, he would die, and he would be directly killed by him.
Chen Zong understood the other party's subtext, and this old man was undoubtedly a very tyrannical existence, far beyond what he could compare to. If he wanted to kill him, it would be a piece of cake.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong still did not waver in his decision. That decision was the combination of many deductions and finally following his heart.
Since he had made a choice, he would walk down it unswervingly.
However, it had to be said that every word of the skinny old man brought an indescribable pressure to Chen Zong.
"Since you have made a decision, then, follow me." The skinny old man slowly turned and walked forward step by step, and Chen Zong also stepped forward to follow.
As they walked, the skinny old man waved his hand, and a door suddenly opened. He stepped into it, and Chen Zong also stepped out and entered.
This was another palace, but it was much smaller than the previous one, with a height of only a few dozen meters, and a length and width of only a few dozen meters.
This palace was empty, except for an altar-like object that seemed to be entwined by countless tree roots in the center of the palace. Above this altar-like object, a ball of green light was suspended. Looking carefully, it was a seed-like object about the size of an egg. It was green all over, and there were faint wisps of Divine Light flowing on it. The Divine Light seemed to be purple, golden, red, black, silver, and countless other colors, containing an indescribable mystery.
With just a glance, Chen Zong was attracted.
That verdant green thing surrounded by endless divine light was naturally emitting layers of halos. It was a green halo that covered all directions, just like a light source.
Chen Zong could feel an indescribable refreshing aura, as if it was full of vitality.
"Senior, what is this?" Chen Zong couldn't help but ask.
"This is a seed," the skinny old man replied with a smile. "It is a treasure that the Master brought out from the deep universe after he became a Level-7 Emperor-level master."
Although the skinny old man's words were short, they contained an astonishing amount of information, which made Chen Zong's thoughts turn, and he was suddenly shocked. However, Chen Zong was more concerned about this so-called seed, and what kind of treasure it was.
Then, why did the old man bring him here?
Could it be that this seed was related to the core inheritance of the World Lord?
"You guessed right." The skinny monkey-like old man immediately smiled and said, "This seed is the core inheritance of the master. Now, go and eat that seed. If you can absorb it, then you'll receive the master's core inheritance. If you can't, then your vitality will be completely absorbed by the seed and become its nutrients."
The old man's last words made Chen Zong break out in a cold sweat.
What kind of seed was this? It clearly gave off a feeling of evil.
In that case, the vitality of those who had failed in the past was all absorbed by this seed and became its nutrients.
Chen Zong still felt a little uneasy.
"Go, swallow that seed." The old man was already urging Chen Zong with a smile. This was the choice that Chen Zong made himself.
If he didn't make this choice and regretted it long ago, then the old man wouldn't have forced him, not at all. But since he had made such a choice and was determined to do it, he had to do it.
Life was like this, and so was the path of cultivation. Since it was a choice that he made, he could only walk it with determination.
Moreover, when Chen Zong stared at the seed, he didn't know why, but from the bottom of his heart … no … it should be said that a sense of longing and intimacy emerged from the depths of his body. It was as if there was a great destiny between them, and this feeling was very strange.
Perhaps if he swallowed that seed, he could control it and not be sucked dry of his vitality and die.
