"Do I have any choice to refuse?"
After staring at Ling Tian for a while, the old man sighed helplessly.
In fact, there was still one more test to go before he could choose the heir, and even he wanted to wait a little longer for that 16-year-old boy to shatter his illusion as well; his aptitude even seemed to be much greater than this girl of the same age!
But this guy's presence had triggered his survival instinct to the max!
The old man felt strange, feeling that this quiet young man was like a terrifying hidden bomb that could destroy the world if activated, but at the same time he seemed to be the sea itself, calm, serene, with the waves carrying peace and calm unceasingly.
Although this old man wanted to say that he wanted Xuan Li to take the last test, but seeing Ling Tian's calmly indifferent eyes, deep in his soul he trembled with fear. A hint that in addition to there being a majestically terrifying presence within him, there also seemed to be a wild yet imposing and powerful presence, like a mysterious ferocious beast in deep slumber.
Being a spirit state of the soul, this old man was more susceptible to the soul than those who were actually alive. If this young man really was terribly powerful and turned out to be the true immortal, then he would die if he angered him, failing in his last entrustment.
"It's alright, senior. In fact, with this girl's aptitude and her willpower in amazingly passing the first two tests, it's more than enough to be able to receive our sect's inheritance and aspire to immortality. She will be the successor of our sect!"
Wanting to retain the last trace of dignity and pride he once had in the past, the old man waved his arm, causing the space to begin to tremble as the next moment changed. He had even referred to Ling Tian with respect and superiority.
Ling Tian was not surprised by this change of direction and kept his expression and position the same.
"Ancestor..." Xuan Li turned to look at Ling Tian as she noticed this old man signaling her to come to the center.
"Go. With me here nothing will happen to you." Ling Tian smiled at her full of confidence, making Xuan Li feel safe.
"Okay!"
Xuan Li nodded without hesitation and she quickly walked towards the center of the place.
"From this moment on, you are the last and current successor of the Primordial Warrior sect, which ruled the world for thousands of years in ancient times and stood as the first sect of the south state majestically!"
The old man spoke solemnly, letting out a terribly monstrous aura that made it difficult for Xuan Li to breathe, preventing her from quickly getting used to it.
* Boom! *
The scenery seemed to change as they seemed to be teleported to another place.
Xuan Li was stunned as she saw the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets... the entire galaxy!
But suddenly, a terrifying and imposing scene appeared, with a grim and horrible feeling; ferocious beasts that seemed to slaughter thousands of beings in fractions of seconds, shake worlds with their roars and destroy stars just by waving their claws.
However, an immeasurable power appeared when a slender and tall, yet extremely powerful and majestic figure appeared in the distance. A delicate and slender halberd appeared in one of its hands and, when waved, it slaughtered these ferocious beasts like cutting a piece of paper.
Every time it moved and attacked, this figure looked like a heavenly warrior of legends.
"The great and powerful Sect Master who once reigned with majesty and leadership, and who fought in the Age of Chaos to protect the sect, has entrusted me to find an heir to carry on her inheritance!"
"And now, you have passed the tests left by her majesty, so you are fit to receive the inheritance and become the next Primordial Warrior Princess, carrying with you the prestige and dignity of the sect on your shoulders to fulfill her last words and wishes!"
"Therefore, the future and the hope of reviving the Primordial Warrior Sect will fall upon you!"
Finally, the figure of this person showed itself. This figure seemed to be wearing a thin but striking armor, enhancing the majesty and nobility of this figure as she moved and cut through the mountain of fierce beasts. A delicate waist, long slightly wavy black hair, smooth white skin that barely seemed to be noticeable, as well as a beautiful and wondrous face, with an imposing and powerful gaze, made this a strikingly beautiful and unparalleled woman, as if there could be no such beautiful woman in the heavens.
Xuan Li stood in awe as she watched what was happening in front of her eyes. She could feel a bit of the powerful breath and majesty of this woman who seemed to see her as well. The power demonstrated by this woman was no behind that of her Master, Zhen Bingluo!
"Place yourself in lotus position and concentrate, let your mind flow and eliminate distractions in your mind. You will receive a powerful spiritual force, which you will need to absorb very carefully."
The old man spoke with a dignified bearing and majesty, like a great master who had walked through all the rivers, lakes, mountains, valleys, cities and passages of the world. Even his eyes showed an adoration and pride at the sight of this woman's figure before she disappeared and everyone returned once again to where they were before.
"Alright!" Xuan Li nodded and after taking one last look at Ling Tian and Lang Qingzu, she completely closed her eyes. She cleared her mind of all distractions and readied herself to begin the process.
Xuan Li conveyed a deep seriousness and she did not get carried away, as if she knew how to control her emotions and knew what was the most important thing now.
"Good! Good! Good! ... she is diligent and serious, so she will be a good successor..." The 80-years-old man whispered inwardly, letting out a sigh of relief. A small smile appeared on his face.
This girl, besides being serious and perfect, also had a cultivation base at the Golden Core stage!
Although the preference was for the successor to be at the peak of the Chi Gathering stage in order to help them build their foundation to perfection, this girl's foundation was not bad, and was even far superior to those reckless geniuses he had seen in his time!
Then, unexpectedly the place began to fill with an abundant spirit Chi, so thick and powerful that Xuan Li couldn't help but be startled briefly before readjusting her condition and concentrating more earnestly, beginning to absorb all the aura and energy surrounding her body. This powerful aura filled with strength and vitality, was very powerful and intense, easily breaking through the barriers in her meridians and causing her cultivation speed to flow faster.
Her cultivation base began to grow exponentially, but Xuan Li even did not hesitate to waste much of this aura in order to perfectly consolidate her newly gained Golden Core cultivation. She always remembered her master's teachings, and knew that if she wanted to reach great heights and not have problems with her cultivation in the future, she has to consolidate her cultivation base and not leave any deficiencies or hidden dangers to affect her in the future. Her sect ancestor, Ling Tian, had also once told her that she has to pay attention to her cultivation base to avoid future problems.
The 80-year-old nodded, widening his smile as his eyes sparkled. He had seen that Xuan Li had barely broken through in the middle of the first trial and, seeing her premeditated action now, he could be more confident that this girl would succeed in raising her cultivation base to great heights. Perhaps she would be able to reach the legendary Sect Master's level, or even surpass her...
That way, the Primordial Warrior sect could emerge into the world once again!
Ling Tian calmly watched the scene. He had also seen what Xuan Li saw, and was also a bit shocked. Demonic beasts had actually appeared in ancient times, and from the looks of it, the leader of this legendary lost sect was of great importance and weight in that era.
Even he had the feeling that this woman seemed to have reached the Human Immortal realm, or at least set foot in immortality. Even those ordinary immortal ascension cultivators might not be her opponents.
"This will go on for a long time..."
Ling Tian looked at Xuan Li and then observed the place. The concentration of spiritual aura in this place seemed to be ten times higher than most cultivation lands in the north state!
Lang Qingzu was still sleeping peacefully in his arms, so Ling Tian did not disturb her. He added a bit of aura to protect her from any disturbance, preventing even a bit of noise from reaching her.
"Uhm?"
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows at the sight of the 16-year-old still inside his own illusion. However, his expression seemed calm, as if he had no problem at all.
A curious smirk appeared on Ling Tian.
"Whenever I approach these guys something interesting usually happens. If I try to directly interact with them something unexpected will happen... but I haven't checked what would happen if my intentions were different from before..."
After pondering for a long time, Ling Tian walked in the direction of this guy still holding Lang Qingzu in his arms.
Ling Tian's spirit sense completely covered this boy and easily entered his mind, managing to catch a glimpse of the illusion test he was facing.
An ambiguous grin appeared on Ling Tian's face after a long time.
