Upon hearing this, Yu Feiluan felt even more ashamed of herself and wished she could personally hand the opportunity to Dongfang Mian. After several rounds of refusals, Dongfang Mian reluctantly agreed.
I don't know why I'm acting so strangely today, I just can't muster any interest in anything like inheritance, treasures, or opportunities.
Following Yu Feiluan into the cave, they found two paths in the dark cave: one was inscribed "The Path of the Inheritor," and the other was inscribed "The Path of the Inheritor's Closest Relatives."
"Shouldn't you have asked your mother or one of your other siblings to do this?"
Yu Feiluan shook her head and pointed to a line of small print below, which read: "Closest relatives" refers to the most important person to the successor. They don't necessarily have to be family members; friends can also be relatives.
Dongfang Mian nodded and then she and Yu Feiluan embarked on separate paths.
First, there was a flat dirt road, and then Dongfang Mian seemed to emerge from the cave, and suddenly the view opened up before her. She had entered a huge cave with lighting crystals embedded on both sides, and a hazy mist floating in the air in the center.
Is opportunity lurking in the fog?
Dongfang Mian cautiously stepped forward, probing into the mist with her mind, but nothing happened. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but extend a finger towards the mist.
The moment the fingertips touched the mist, the entire mist enveloped Dongfang Mian, and a woman's voice rang out, "Guardian of the Misty Fairy, kneel down and accept your mission."
Wait a minute? This isn't what I expected. What the heck is a protector?
I'm here to seek opportunities, not to receive any mission.
Dongfang Mian felt a powerful aura pressing down on her, forcing her to kneel. She laughed in exasperation, "If you speak to me kindly, I might be able to hold my tongue a bit, but if you're going to use force, then I'm sorry."
Dongfang Mian instantly activated the Supreme Bloodline Light Orb within her body, and a radiant spiritual energy enveloped her entire body from the inside out. She instantly felt a lightness in her body and could no longer feel any pressure.
As expected, it worked. Dongfang Mian's eyes lit up. After coming to the human world, Dongfang Mian learned that the more types of bloodlines one had and the higher the level, the more resistant one would be to the pressure of lower-level bloodlines. Sure enough, with her bloodlines of all attributes, she was practically invincible against pressure.
Just as she was secretly pleased, a burst of energy struck Dongfang Mian in the chest, instantly slamming her against the cave wall. The immense impact caused her to cough up a mouthful of blood.
"You are not from the Misty Palace, so who are you?!"
Dongfang Mian looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the original mist had transformed into an arrogant woman who was now glaring at her.
"Pah!" Dongfang Mian spat out the blood in her mouth and said irritably, "Are you sick? How do you know I'm not from the Misty Palace? Do you think I have that written on my face? You just come up and attack. You're so old, yet you have no manners at all."
"Your ability to withstand my pressure proves you are not a disciple of the Misty Palace. Don't spout nonsense. Who are you? How did you gain access to the Misty Palace's inheritance grounds? Speak out now, and I will grant you a swift death."
"So you think you're not from the Misty Palace just because you blocked my pressure? Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are, the ancestor of the Misty Palace? Don't you know there's a saying that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people? Aren't you being a little too narcissistic?" Dongfang Mian said irritably.
"Indeed, I am the third Palace Master of the Misty Palace. I left a wisp of my divine soul here to convey the mission to the protectors of each Misty Fairy."
