The Bai family's stone tablet suddenly seemed to sense something and burst out with a strong light.

The light, like a dazzling sun, illuminated the entire sky, so bright it was blinding. The surrounding air also fluctuated violently, then became a beam, pointing directly in the direction of the white firefly.

The elders of the Bai family stood frozen in disbelief. They had known since childhood that this stone tablet was left by the most powerful cultivator in the Bai family's history, and that it was said to contain the cultivation insights of that predecessor. The family elders had always required them to cultivate using the tablet, hoping to gain some understanding from it.

Legend has it that if someone can comprehend these insights, they can unlock the mysterious legacy within the stone tablet.

However, generation after generation has passed, and to this day, no one in the Bai family can sense the mystery within the stone tablet.

The elders privately doubted the authenticity of the legend. Although they still followed the rules of their ancestors and allowed the younger generation to cultivate in front of the stone tablet, deep down they felt that the so-called inheritance was just a distant fantasy. Some of them even thought that the legend might not exist at all, and was just a lie made up by the older generation to encourage them to cultivate.

But at that very moment, the stone tablet that had remained motionless for thousands of years suddenly underwent an astonishing change without warning!

Without much guessing, everyone understood that it was all because of Bai Ying.

The light emanating from the stone tablet, like a dazzling torrent, shone directly on Bai Ying, enveloping her completely. The light even condensed into a crystalline protective film, completely shielding Bai Ying within it.

The people around were stunned by what they saw, and the scene was in an uproar.

"That stone tablet actually moved! My God, how is this possible!" an elder couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Could it be that Bai Ying has comprehended the contents of the stone tablet?" Another elder muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock and doubt.

The elders present had their mouths agape, their eyes filled with shock.

They had witnessed countless geniuses cultivate before this stone tablet, whether they were elites from their own clans or geniuses from other races who came seeking fame, all of them had returned empty-handed. But now, this once silent stone tablet had suddenly undergone such an earth-shattering change!

Bai Di was still immersed in the ecstasy of about to seize Bai Ying's top-grade spiritual root, her mind filled with images of her greatly increased strength and boundless glory after acquiring the new spiritual root. But the sudden scene before her eyes shattered her beautiful dream in an instant.

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Bai Ying, who was enveloped in the light of the stone tablet. The joy on her face froze instantly, replaced by utter disbelief.

A powerful sense of absurdity overwhelmed her instantly, like a surging tide.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured unconsciously, "Why, why!" Her voice was full of resentment and anger.

Why does all good fortune seem to fall upon Bai Ying? Why does Heaven favor her so much? Bai Di screamed wildly in his heart.

She believed herself to be no less capable than Bai Ying, and she truly cultivated with extraordinary diligence. Countless days and nights, she toiled in front of this stone tablet, pouring in far more sweat and effort than anyone else. Yet now, Bai Ying had lost even her spiritual roots, reduced to a cripple, and the stone tablet had chosen her.

This intense jealousy, like a venomous snake, gnawed at Bai Di's heart, driving her almost mad. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, blood slowly trickling down between her fingers, yet she remained oblivious.

On the other side, the Grand Elder was so shocked by the scene before him that he was stunned into silence, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the stone tablet and the white firefly enveloped in light. His expression gradually shifted from initial shock to pain and despair.

"No!" He finally couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain. "How could this be? How could this be! How could it be her?" His voice trembled and echoed among the shocked crowd.

The Grand Elder felt as if his heart had been pierced by a sharp blade, bleeding profusely. This was the most important inheritance of the Bai family, an opportunity that all the ancestors had dreamed of.

Why choose Bai Ying of all people for the stone tablet? And why at this particular time?

The image of Bai Ying digging up his spiritual root kept flashing through his mind, and he was filled with remorse.

If the stone tablet had chosen Bai Ying earlier, it would never have allowed Bai Di to harm Bai Ying, much less let Bai Ying destroy her spiritual root.

But now, everything is beyond repair!

Tears of remorse welled up and streamed down his wrinkled face. He knelt on the ground in anguish, clutching his hair with both hands, and screamed at the tombstone with all his might, "Why?"

The elder's eyes were filled with madness. He suddenly waved his hand, and a beam of light shot out from his sleeve. It was his natal magic weapon.

The magical artifact hovered and danced in the air, emitting a dazzling light. The Grand Elder rapidly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, attempting to manipulate the artifact to destroy the light barrier enveloping Bai Ying and stop this inheritance that he believed "should not have happened."

"Bai Ying is no longer a member of the Bai family!" the First Elder roared hoarsely. "She doesn't even have the spiritual roots of the Bai family anymore, how can we pass on the inheritance to her!" As he shouted, he turned to look at the Bai family disciples and elders around him, his eyes filled with anxiety and command. "Everyone, attack together! We absolutely cannot let her obtain this inheritance!"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, but under the pressure from the Grand Elder, they all unleashed their magical artifacts. In an instant, a tapestry of colors shimmered, and the artifacts, accompanied by whistling winds, rained down upon the light barrier where Bai Ying stood. Each of these artifacts, normally capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, possessed astonishing power when combined.

However, the moment these powerful magical artifacts touched the light barrier, their originally formidable attacks struck the barrier like dragonflies skimming the water, creating only faint ripples. The light barrier remained firmly protecting Bai Ying, showing no signs of damage whatsoever.

The attacks from the Grand Elder and others were like tickling the solid light barrier, posing no threat whatsoever.

The elder's face turned deathly pale instantly, his hands fell limply to his sides, and the madness and determination in his eyes were gradually replaced by despair.

He watched helplessly as Bai Ying was enveloped in the white light and gradually transported into the barrier space of the stone tablet. He could do nothing but stand there and watch Bai Ying slowly disappear.
