Beiming Continent, the Blood Qin Empire
The capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, Xianyang, was the most famous human city in the nineteen continents. Its entire area of a hundred miles was so vast that even immortals using their supernatural powers could hardly see its full extent.
It is divided into the Imperial City, the Palace City, the Official City, the Inner City, and the Outer City. The streets and alleys are crowded with people. Ten feet below the ground, countless streaks of light travel back and forth. However, although the streaks of light are as numerous as carp crossing a river, they are exceptionally orderly and subtly follow some kind of rule.
Higher in the sky, the weather was extraordinary. Chariots pulled by many divine and beautiful beasts roared past, with divine light surging, thunder and fire swirling around, and ghostly energy pervading the air. Or perhaps they were ethereal and otherworldly, with hidden precious light, each with its own unique shape and appearance.
However, although these vehicles were magnificent, their power was completely contained, so they did not affect the escape light below, let alone disturb the daily lives of the civilians at the bottom.
At the very top of the Blood Qin Imperial Capital are flying boats that can easily reach hundreds of feet in length and even more magnificent floating warships, including floating fortresses that resemble palaces.
In the Imperial City, the undisputed premier city of the human race, a towering, mountain-like structure almost reaches into the clouds, stands a crystal mirror ten zhang high, as if reflecting the giant's image.
In front of this crystal mirror, eight people, some sitting and some standing, each with a different demeanor, were all gazing intently at the image reflected in the mirror.
These people possessed powerful, surging auras. Some were chillingly cold, their blood thick with life; others were withered and lifeless, resembling corpses; some were iron-blooded and wielding weapons, their momentum like a rainbow; some were elegant and noble, their majesty innate; others were carefree and unrestrained…
These individuals all held extremely high positions within the Blood Qin Empire. The main reason they were willing to set aside everything else and condescend to come here was that the seven people the Blood Qin Empire had dispatched to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all had very deep relationships with them.
"Who is this person? Does our Great Qin have sent anyone to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths this time? I don't remember him."
As the Heavenly Mirror in the Heavenly Surveillance Hall reflected the conditions of the seven people from the Qin Empire who had entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the mirror eventually reflected a towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds. This mountain was barren, with only a winding and rugged path leading to its summit.
At this moment, two figures were climbing the mountain path, one in front of the other. The figure in the lead was completely unfamiliar, prompting a solemn-faced, sharply defined, armored general to ask him a question.
"This is not one of our Great Qin people."
"Whose junior is this?"
The general, clad in red armor, asked, looking at the boy who was ahead of his grandson with admiration in his eyes.
Even just by observing him remotely through the magic mirror, he could tell that this boy was not a martial arts practitioner. Yet, he struck first and surpassed his own grandson.
"Never seen it before."
"I don't know him!"
"Let the people from the Xuanbing Platform investigate. After all, it is an inheritance arranged by our Great Qin. It is his ability to obtain the inheritance, but we can't let someone else take it without even knowing who it is."
A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes spoke; her eyebrows were arched and her neck was long and graceful. She was beautiful and elegant, with a captivating and incomparable charm.
"yes."
...
"When our human race entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, we first settled in the Initial Land. The inheritance and all the resources needed for cultivation have been prepared here."
What kind of inheritance we receive when we enter here depends on the cultivation method we practice and our physical constitution. As long as we enter, we will surely gain something.
However, such opportunities only exist in the initial land, and each person can only stay there for one month before entering the true Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Seeing that Feng Bingwen seemed completely clueless, the vigorous young man, as energetic as a wild dragon, frowned and began to explain, then couldn't help but ask,
"What sect or faction do you come from? How come you don't know the rules? Apart from the surplus of inheritance left behind by top forces like my Blood Qin Dynasty and the Netherworld Path."
Most sects' inheritance sites, even with a surplus, generally don't have enough resources for two people to cultivate. If you take them, what will the others cultivate for?
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen immediately understood that the so-called Initial Land was the guaranteed fortune for the geniuses who could enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Coming here, they could at least obtain a lineage.
Thinking back carefully, the five-star spiritual land he had just entered was rich in the five elements, but it seemed that there were no corresponding spiritual veins to replenish it. Every time he used it, he would lose some of it.
In other words, his physique is special. His innate five elements of immortal spiritual energy are extremely pure in both quality and quantity. He does not rely much on ordinary five elements, so his consumption is minimal. If it were an ordinary person with slightly inferior aptitude, the amount of five elements essence they would need to consume would probably be more than a hundred times that of him.
"I see!"
Feng Bingwen nodded to indicate that he understood, but he quickly realized something.
"If I obtain the inheritance here, wouldn't that affect your comprehension?"
Although the boy's tone and attitude were harsh, his patient explanation showed that he was not a bad person at heart, and could even be described as a kind person.
"What do you take my Great Qin for? To arrange the inheritance and to be so meticulous and calculating. The Blood Phoenix essence left here is enough for ten more people, let alone you."
Seeing Feng Bingwen's worry, the young man scoffed and looked astonished.
"Great Qin!"
Feng Bingwen silently noted down the top human forces he knew of, apart from the Supreme Dao from which his cheap master came from, there was the Heavenly Eye Dao, which was good at divination, and then there was the Netherworld Dao, which seemed somewhat underworldly, and now there was also the Great Qin.
It sounds like a dynasty, but it's clearly different from the dynasty he was born into. Just from this young man, you can tell that the two are not on the same level at all.
"You haven't heard of it?"
Although Feng Bingwen's expression was calm, it was precisely because of this calmness that the young man from the barbarian dragon noticed something was amiss.
"Yes, the first time."
Feng Bingwen nodded in agreement.
"Which savage mountain did you come from? And how did you get in?"
The boy's face showed disbelief.
“The Netherworld Path bought me the qualification. After I received the token, I entered.”
As Feng Bingwen spoke, he pulled out a token engraved with the "Tai Xuan" cloud script from his person. "If someone shows me an inch of respect, I'll return a mile."
"The qualifications to purchase from the Netherworld Path? Didn't they explain this to you before you came in?"
"They told me that this place offers all the opportunities and fortunes one could take."
"What you said is not wrong."
The young man from the Great Qin Dynasty felt that there were many suspicious points about Feng Bingwen, who clearly did not cultivate martial arts but had obtained the inheritance in one step. He wondered where the sect that played with ghosts had found such a monster.
But what does that have to do with him? All he needs to do is confirm that this person is human, and that he is a genius whose talent and aptitude far surpass his own. That is enough.
"My name is Wang Yuan. What's your name?"
"Feng Bingwen!"
"Feng Bingwen? I'm mistaken. Let's have a spar after we leave the starting area!"
"Can."
Feng Bingwen readily agreed. It was just a fight; what was there to be afraid of? He was just looking for someone to assess his current combat strength—without using any magical artifacts.
"By the way, how long have you been here?"
“I want to visit other places that have inherited this heritage.”
Seeing Wang Yuan frown, he added,
"Only contemplate, but don't practice!"
"You can do it this way, but it's best not to interfere with others. Some sects only have one survivor left. If you seize the opportunity, the forces behind them will hold a grudge. Everything you do now is being watched by people outside."
"Is someone watching?"
Feng Bingwen frowned. He had been able to sense a subtle, yet persistent, gaze on him. It turned out that someone was observing him from the outside world.
"Of course we'll see. Although we all came here primarily to seek opportunities, conflicts are inevitable among us. Our performance will determine how much importance we receive in the future."
"boring."
Feng Bingwen only had this one comment; with the Heavenly Book in hand, he didn't need to care about such things.
"I'm going down the mountain first. Come back and spar with me after we leave the starting area."
"Okay, you wait for me!"
Wang Yuan's eyes were bright, and his spirit had subtly changed; there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.
Seeing the spirited young man's high morale, Feng Bingwen didn't disturb him from receiving the inheritance and went straight down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he found his five suppressed guardian spirits.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Upon seeing Feng Bingwen emerge, the most spiritually powerful purple dragon immediately flicked its tail, attempting to coil around Feng Bingwen's body.
"Stop!"
Feng Bingwen grabbed the purple dragon's horn, preventing it from rubbing against him.
What could possibly be wrong with me?
"Hehe, sir, since you have nothing else to do, may I ask you for a favor?"
"explain."
"I feel like there's something here that's attracting me. Could you take me to see it?"
Is something attracting you? What is it?
Feng Bingwen raised an eyebrow, a look of interest appearing in his eyes.
"I don't know, but I feel that if I get it, I can become stronger."
Shui Ling slowly shook her head.
"Take me there to have a look, but you must not do anything without my permission!"
Feng Bingwen understood that his water spirit had probably sensed a place where water could create wonders.
However, now that he knew the rules of this place, he naturally wouldn't let his guardian spirit run wild. If the one receiving the inheritance was the only heir of a certain sect, that would truly be a disaster.
Who knows, that might be someone coming from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to secure a guaranteed inheritance. To even snatch up the guaranteed inheritance is beyond just moral depravity; it's downright heinous.
"Sir, I also feel something attracting me."
Seeing that Feng Bingwen had agreed to Shui Ling's request, Tu Ling also spoke up, saying that there was actually a suitable inheritance for it here.
