A golden beam of light shot down and landed directly on the sculpture, causing it to tremble violently. The light then gradually dimmed, and when it disappeared, the sculpture was found to be incomplete, its upper part turning into dust and drifting into the void without leaving a trace.
"Buzz." A sharp pain came, and Gu Yifeng groaned. He felt his head twitch violently, and then a weak voice entered his mind.
"Congratulations on passing the trials I left behind. Now, are you willing to accept my legacy?"
Gu Yifeng opened his eyes, looked at the girl in front of him, and said with a slight smile, "Senior, this junior did not pass the test!"
"You don't need to lie to me anymore. My test is not something that can be passed so easily. It's already very impressive that you've made it this far. Moreover, you've comprehended the sword intent, and you will definitely become a great sword cultivator in the future. This is the best reward I can give you." The woman said with a smile, her tone was very gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
"May I refuse?" Gu Yifeng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Refuse?" The smile on the woman's pretty face froze, as if she hadn't reacted yet. She blinked, thinking, "This guy actually dares to refuse me?"
At this moment, the others also realized what was happening and all showed strange expressions, looking at Gu Yifeng. This guy is really audacious, daring to refuse even the inheritance of his predecessors!
Gu Yifeng looked around at the people, his expression calm and composed. He knew that the girl in front of him must be the owner of this ruin. However, since it was the inheritance set up by the owner of the ruin, he naturally had to ask her opinion. If she insisted that he accept the inheritance, he would have no way to refuse.
The woman's beautiful eyes were fixed on Gu Yifeng, her gaze flickering slightly, and she said softly, "Are you afraid I'll possess you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the space fell into complete silence. Gu Yifeng's face stiffened, and then he shook his head and said, "I am confident that with my strength, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to possess me, because I am human."
Upon hearing this, a complex expression appeared in the woman's eyes. She nodded slightly and said, "You are indeed extraordinary. Your destiny is extraordinary. I cannot possess you."
"So you were just trying to scare me?" Gu Yifeng asked the woman in surprise.
"You can understand it that way," the woman smiled and said, "However, I don't intend to take over your body, but I have a few conditions. Can you agree to them?"
"What are the conditions?" Gu Yifeng asked.
"First, I leave this legacy behind, hoping that you can carry it forward and make my lineage grow stronger."
“No problem.” Gu Yifeng nodded without hesitation; it was something he could easily do.
"Secondly, I hope you can take my statue with you," the woman added, her tone still calm, as if she were stating something extremely ordinary.
"What does this mean, senior?" Gu Yifeng was stunned. Taking away the statue, could it be that the statue of the senior is hiding some secret?
“This statue is my physical body. Once you take it, the statue will naturally belong to you. This statue was my weapon in my previous life. Although it has been destroyed, the spirit within it still remains and can help you cultivate and improve your realm,” the woman explained.
"It's actually a statue made from the physical body of our predecessor!" Everyone's hearts trembled, and their faces showed expressions of amazement.
The woman was actually a deity who created her own physical body. Such a method was unheard of and utterly inconceivable!
Gu Yifeng took a deep breath, looked at the woman, and said earnestly, "Senior, rest assured, since you trust me so much, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Hmm." The woman nodded, and suddenly, she pointed her slender jade finger at the statue in the void and said, "I have another request, and I hope you can help me fulfill it."
"Please give your orders, senior," Gu Yifeng replied.
"Besides trusting you, I left this legacy because I want you to send my statue to Qingyang City," the woman said.
"Why does the senior want to send the statue to Qingyang City?" Gu Yifeng asked in confusion, as he still hadn't figured out the senior's name.
"Years ago, I left the desolate region to travel to other places. When I passed through Qingyang City, I met an old man who saved my life and brought me here. Before he died, he told me that if we were destined to meet again, I should send the statue to Qingyang City." The woman spoke slowly, her expression filled with sorrow.
"I will always remember your kindness, senior," Gu Yifeng said, clasping his hands in greeting.
"Thank you." The woman nodded, then looked at Gu Yifeng and said, "I have one last request."
Gu Yifeng looked at her without saying a word.
"After you deliver the statue to Qingyang City, could you tell the old man that my name is Li Mengyao?" the woman said, her voice choked with emotion and her eyes filled with tears.
"This junior obeys," Gu Yifeng said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Alright, I've stated my demands. You may leave now." The woman waved her sleeve, signaling Gu Yifeng to step back.
"Farewell." Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the woman, turned around, and strode away into the distance.
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off," the woman said softly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She could no longer stay by her father's side; from then on, only loneliness remained in the world...
After Gu Yifeng left, many people came out one after another. They did not leave but stayed there, preparing to participate in the subsequent tests.
After all, no one can have too many opportunities, and they also wanted to try their luck and see if they could find their own inheritance.
"Boom, boom..."
The loud noise grew closer and closer, and several enormous creatures could be seen rapidly approaching from the depths of the cave. Each one was extremely majestic, like a giant monster, and exuded a terrifying and ferocious aura that made people feel suffocated.
These demonic beasts were all hundreds of feet tall, their ferocious and majestic bodies radiating a violent and domineering aura, causing a fierce gale to sweep through the space. The wind blew against the crowd, making them tremble, breathe rapidly, and turn as pale as paper.
"What kind of monsters are these?" Someone's heart pounded as they stared in horror at the approaching monsters.
Gu Yifeng paused, then looked up at the demonic beast in the sky, his brows furrowed, and muttered, "A sixth-tier peak demonic beast?"
"A sixth-tier peak-level demonic beast?"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's words, everyone's hearts pounded violently, utterly shocked. Such a terrifying demonic beast was actually a peak sixth-order demonic beast.
This means that these demonic beasts are comparable to peak seventh-level Yuanhuang experts, and they have absolutely no chance of winning.
“These demonic beasts have been dead for thousands of years. In fact, they have long lost their intelligence. Their fighting skills and supernatural powers are now just instincts.” Gu Yifeng said in a deep voice. His eyes were fixed on the giant demonic beasts. He exuded a solemn and sharp aura. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an incomparably sharp sword, indestructible.
