It was a bloody place with thousands of corpses lying on the ground.
The number of cultivators who died along the way was less than the number who died here in a short period of time. The ground was littered with corpses and blood formed a small river.
Forbidden weapons appeared frequently like cabbages and launched terrifying attacks, killing large numbers of cultivators.
Everything was for the sake of the inheritance golden light.
Swoosh.
The golden light floated forward. During this period, many cultivators touched the golden light, but none of them could absorb it.
When the golden light arrived in front of Zi Chen, it entered the space between his eyebrows and disappeared.
"Zi Chen, why is it him again?"
"Why are all the good things happening to him?"
"Not only did he snatch the Ancient Weapon, but he even wants to snatch the inheritance now."
Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly. The people from the major powers looked as if they had eaten a fly. They felt very uncomfortable.
Jealousy grew in their hearts and they wished they could cut Zi Chen into eight pieces, eat his flesh and drink his blood.
However, at this moment, no one made a move.
Zi Chen held the Ancient Weapon and had strong combat power, but that was not the most important thing. The move that instantly turned a genius assassin into nothingness was the one that shocked everyone.
Even if they were unwilling, they did not dare to make a move at this moment.
"It's indeed Extreme Yin, but where is the inheritance?" The golden light disappeared from his glabella, which only represented Extreme Yin. Zi Chen frowned slightly, feeling very puzzled.
He was very sure that Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang were not the inheritances that he needed.
Wu Xiong shrugged. He did not get anything this time, and even the forbidden weapon was gone. It could be said that he had accomplished nothing. Many of his subordinates had died, and he would definitely be punished when he returned.
The others were also extremely depressed. In the previous fierce battle, the forbidden weapons were consumed continuously, but they ended up benefiting someone else.
"Sigh."
A sigh was heard.
"Sigh."
Then, sighs were heard one after another. Those who were lucky enough to survive all sighed and looked at Zi Chen with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
However, right at that moment, the seventh floor's restriction suddenly shattered. Following that, a perfectly straight path appeared. The path led directly into the depths of the seventh floor, with no end in sight. And in the center of the path stood an old man. He was calmly looking at the group of people.
"Who are you?"
When everyone saw the Great Dao and the elder, they were all incomparably shocked. Someone mustered up the courage to ask.
The old man swept his gaze across the crowd. His gaze was calm as he said, "I am the guardian of the inheritance."
"Inheritance protector." Everyone stared blankly, looking at each other. They all shook their heads, expressing that they didn't understand.
"Can you be more specific?" Wang Shan asked. At this moment, he felt that his brain wasn't working properly.
Legacy Protector, with the legacy gone, what the hell are you still guarding?
This was what Wang Shan was thinking, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
"Be more specific." The old man's calm gaze wavered. He thought to himself, 'Isn't this enough?'
"The guardian of the legacy is the guardian of the legacy." The old man was very serious this time.
"The guardian of the legacy."
Everyone was still puzzled and did not quite understand. As for Wang Shan and the others, they wanted nothing more than to go up and slap this old man to death. We asked you to be more specific, but you added a word.
"You still don't understand? Oh my god, there's something wrong with your IQ."
The old man was speechless. Fortunately, he had a good temper. He explained again, "The inheritance here is under my control. After passing the test, you can obtain the inheritance here."
"What? You're saying that there's an inheritance here?"
Wang Shan's eyes lit up as he stared at the straight path. Initially, he was already in despair. But now, things seemed to be taking a turn for the better.
"You're saying that there's an inheritance behind this path?" Wu Xiong was extremely excited as well, his face filled with disbelief.
Everyone's eyes lit up once more as they looked at the old man. It was as though they had seen hope.
"That's right. The inheritance is behind, but you have to pass the test first. Why? Didn't you guys come here to obtain the inheritance?" The old man asked curiously.
"What about the previous statue? Wasn't it an inheritance?" Someone asked.
"That was just a technique within the seal. How could it be an inheritance? Why? Did you guys take it as an inheritance?" The old man looked at everyone strangely.
"What?"
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
That golden light wasn't an inheritance at all. The true inheritance was at the back, at the back of the path.
A feeling of relief and annoyance filled the entire place.
"God, are you toying with me? It's not an inheritance, but you made me use up a forbidden artifact." Wu Xiong looked up at the sky, wanting to cry but no tears came out.
"I can't accept this. What is this place?" Wang Shan was in so much pain that he wanted to die. But fortunately, the forbidden artifact could be used once more, so it was better than Wu Xiong's.
Compared to the annoyance of the big forces, these independent cultivators were extremely excited.
Because the old man said that all of them could participate in the test.
This was a chance, a chance to obtain a supreme inheritance.
The group of independent cultivators rubbed their hands excitedly.
"Oh right, this trial is very extraordinary. Although all of you can participate, there's a certain degree of danger. If you guys aren't careful, you might die." The old man reminded them kindly.
"Die? Are we still afraid of dying? When we came, we had ten thousand people. How many people are left now? It's just a thousand people. Are we still afraid of dying?" Someone was very agitated and said unhappily.
Too many people had died in this trial. There were less than a thousand people left in the group of ten thousand.
Moreover, there were large amounts of corpses on the ground.
"Alright, I'm just reminding you out of goodwill. This is the trial ground of the Wuji Sect's genius disciples. In the past, only a few people passed. I didn't expect so many people to pass this time. However, if you insist on taking the test, I have nothing to say."
"The Wuji Sect's trial ground for geniuses."
After knowing the name of the big sect from ten thousand years ago, everyone also knew what this place was. They were all even more excited.
If they obtained the inheritance here, they could establish another Wuji Sect.
Everyone was full of expectations.
"Alright, you can pass this path and reach the end. You can pass the test and obtain the inheritance." The old man flashed to the side.
"What? So easy? Doesn't that mean that everyone can obtain the inheritance? How many inheritances are there?" Someone asked, feeling that it was very simple.
"There are many inheritances here, enough for all of you to obtain." A strange look flashed through the old man's eyes.
"Wow, that's great. Everyone can obtain an inheritance. Haha, I'm going to establish another Cangli City."
A cultivator said excitedly.
Of course, this was only a few idiots.
"Hula."
Everyone rushed towards the path like a swarm of bees, fighting to be the first.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
"Inheritance, I'm coming!"
In an instant, everyone rushed towards the path at an extremely fast speed.
Zi Chen pulled Su Mengyao and followed them in, but he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why aren't you guys going?"
The old man just smiled, while the burly man curled his lips helplessly.
"If they enter, there's only one way." At this moment, the old man beside the path spoke.
"What way?" Zi Chen turned his head.
"A dead end." The old man was very indifferent.
"If they can reach here, something must have happened to the Wuji Sect. Otherwise, such people would have been wiped out immediately after entering," the old man explained.
Zi Chen nodded. He had already guessed that these two were extraordinary, but he didn't expect them to be really extraordinary.
"Zi Chen, you go. I have faith in you." The burly man clenched his fist at Zi Chen.
"Okay."
Nodding and smiling at the two, Zi Chen pulled Su Mengyao, Miao Kong, and Liu Bo and walked towards the depths.
On the path ahead, nearly a thousand people rushed in at a very fast speed.
But in an instant, rays of light lit up around the path. Then, a saber light like a waterfall appeared and rushed towards the crowd.
Poof.
Blood burst out. Under the huge saber light, dozens of people were cut down.
Swoosh.
A sword blade appeared in front of them at an extremely fast speed. Seven or eight people's hearts were pierced through.
"Damn it, there's danger on this path."
"This old guy is so careless. He didn't even inform us in advance."
Everyone's expression changed, but they had already stepped on the path and couldn't retreat.
"Welcome everyone to the trial ground of the Wuji Sect's core disciples. Now, the trial begins. The path of body refinement is open."
The old man's voice echoed throughout the entire path. Then, his figure disappeared.
"Buzz."
The entire path emitted halos. The halos were like moonlight falling from the sky, sprinkling on everyone's body.
"What's going on? Why did my Zhen Qi disappear?"
"My Zhen Qi, my Zhen Qi is gone."
"My Zhen Qi is dissipating."
When the halos fell on their bodies, everyone's expression changed drastically. They felt that their Zhen Qi was dissipating.
In a short moment, everyone's Zhen Qi dissipated. Abdomen was empty.
"Zi Chen."
Su Mengyao was shocked. Her hand, which was holding Zi Chen, was also cold. Her Genuine Qi had also disappeared.
"I'm fine," Zi Chen said calmly.
In his body, the golden Zhen Qi was also dissipating, but it wasn't serious. It seemed that the Perfect Body had blocked the halos.
Miao Kong and Liu Bo both moved closer to Zi Chen. When their Zhen Qi disappeared, the two of them were like toothless tigers.
"Buzz."
As the Zhen Qi dissipated, the void began to tremble. Then, sharp blades appeared out of thin air, emitting brilliant light and rushing forward.
Poof. Poof. Poof.
Like cutting melons and grass, heads flew off one after another. Miserable screams sounded. It was like hell on earth.
"No."
"No, I'm not participating in the trial."
"I want to quit."
Everyone's Zhen Qi was suppressed, and they could only rely on their physical strength. However, no one could resist the sharp blades. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people died.
"Humph, the Wuji Sect is a big sect. Everyone who participates in the trial is a genius. I don't know how you came here, but since you're participating in the trial, there are only two paths. One is to live, and the other is to die."
The old man's cold voice sounded on the empty road.
"No, you didn't make it clear before."
"You lied to us. You said there was an inheritance, but now you're trying to kill us."
"You're up to no good."
A cultivator yelled.
"There is indeed an inheritance at the end of the road, but it depends on whether you have the ability to go there. This is a trial ground for geniuses. Everyone who comes out of it is the strongest of their level. They are all true geniuses," the old man said coldly.
"What? This is a trial ground for geniuses?"
"This is a trial ground for geniuses."
