This golden glow grew in intensity until it suddenly started taking form.

It began taking shape, changing from just a ball at first to a shape that almost seemed like a cat.

At first it was a small cat, but then it slowly grew and grew until it was the size of a lion, but even then it still didn't stop.

It continued to grow until it was more than three meters tall and was even bigger than a normal elephant, but even with how big it was, it had maintained the same shape as before.

But when Lin Fan saw this shape, he couldn't help knitting his brows since he had seen this figure before...though he hadn't seen it directly.

It had been when they had first entered the ruins and they had avoided this beast, or rather they were trying to track it to take it down. Lin Fan had sent out Brainy's puppets to find it, but they had all been crushed in the end which was why they hadn't been able to find it. However, before they were crushed, they did relay information back to Brainy on what it looked like.

It was a giant cat, the Nascent Soul Realm beast of this realm was a giant cat.

However, this giant cat had been attacking the people who had entered the ruins, which meant that it definitely wasn't friendly.

After a slight pause, Lin Fan immediately raised his guard, pulling out his weapon as he warily looked at the beast that was slowly taking form.

The other two were also stunned at first, but just like Lin Fan, they pulled out their weapons because that was usually the best choice in a situation like this.

Slowly the cat beast took form until the golden light around it dissipated and it appeared in full in front of the three of them, softly landing on its paws on the ground.

When it landed, it first looked around at the three who were looking at it warily without saying a thing and then it revealed a smile, or at least what could be considered a smile with the face that it had.

It wasn't in a hurry to speak as it raised its paw to lick it, but the pressure that it released couldn't be faked.

For Wang Jian who was from one of the twelve great factions, he was familiar with this kind of aura since he felt it from his elders before. There was no doubt that the aura that this beast was releasing was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

For Mo Ze Chen and Lin Fan, they already knew this, so they weren't surprised by this at all. However, it was a different story for Wang Jian.

Wang Jian knew that none of them was a match for this beast, they wouldn't even be a match for an expert in the Child Soul Realm since they were all in the Embryo Soul Realm. This was a gap of almost two full realms, it was not something that could be easily crossed.

The only thing they could do now was run, which was what Wang Jian was already considering. His hand behind him was already holding the escape pearl that they had received in the beginning.

It was a different situation for Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen because they were already aware of it and were already preparing to hunt this Nascent Soul Realm beast.

But before any of them could make a move, the beast suddenly said, "Why are you all like this? There's no need to be this wary."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

They weren't surprised that this beast could talk, but rather that it was choosing to talk to them now.

When they had encountered it previously, it had been slaughtering everyone that it had met, but now it seemed like a completely different beast.

Wang Jian didn't trust this beast and took a step back. Even Mo Ze Chen didn't trust it and didn't let his guard down, but Lin Fan asked, "Then why shouldn't we be wary of you?"

The beast immediately turned to Lin Fan and there was a look of appreciation in its eyes as it looked at him for a few seconds before it said, "Because it's very simple, you're the ones that have passed master's test and will receive his inheritance."

All three of them were stunned when they heard this even though not a single one of them believed what this beast was saying.

After all, there was no indication of this from the ruins themselves and it was just the words of this beast that had been killing everyone else before, so it would be hard for a normal person to believe this. However, the beast didn't care as it just looked at them with the same ugly smile.

After another pause, Lin Fan then asked, "There's three of us here, how are you planning to give this inheritance to us?"

The beast didn't hesitate at all as it said, "Of course you've all been ranked based on your accomplishments in these ruins. Did you think that we haven't been watching the entire time?"

Lin Fan's eyes trembled when he heard this because he already knew that this was the case based on the actions of the little girl with the whale, after all, she had set up a giant barrier just to keep out unwanted attention…

Seeing that no one was saying anything, the beast didn't mind as it started moving towards the coffin and the throne.

Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were in the way, so they moved out of the way, giving the beast a wide berth as it walked over to the foot of the throne. After it reached the foot of the throne, the beast suddenly started changing form as it began to shrink.

It continued to shrink until it reached human size, but not only was it human size, it also took human form.

In its human form, it took the form of an elegant man with pure blonde hair that reached all the way to his waist and he was wearing a pure black suit with a monocle on one eye.

The best way to describe him would be that he was a perfect example of a butler.

Once the beast had taken human form, it came in front of the coffin and kneeled down to it before pushing it open.

Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were surprised when they saw this because this coffin had been sealed shut for them. No matter how they had tried pushing the lid earlier, they hadn't been able to budge it at all, but now this beast was able to easily open the coffin.

After the coffin was opened, it revealed a person who was sleeping inside the coffin. Or at least he looked like he was sleeping, but since he was in this coffin, it was most likely that he was…

When the beast saw this person in the coffin, it immediately revealed a different expression as a tear came to its eye, specifically only the right eye. It looked very strange how there was only one stream of tears that came from the right eye while there was nothing that came from the left eye, but there was no explanation for it.

After it shed that one tear, it stood up and leaned in over the corpse that was in the coffin before it began to shake it as it said, "Master, it's time to wake up."

The other three in the room were confused why the beast was doing this and even thought that the best  had lost its mind from its grief, but before they could say anything, there was a transparent figure that appeared above the coffin.

Looking carefully at this transparent figure, it looked exactly the same as the one that was lying inside the coffin.

That transparent figure had its eyes closed at first and they slowly opened as it gave a yawn. Once it finally opened its eyes, it looked around itself before turning to the beast that had now gone back to kneeling.

After a slight pause, the figure suddenly asked, "How long has it been?"

The beast revealed a smile as it looked up and said, "Master, it's been a thousand years since you've last woken up."

The figure just said "oh" before it then said, "So what did you wake me for this time? Are there more intruders?"

The beast shook his head before turning to gesture at Lin Fan's group of three, "Master, it's finally time. These are the ones that have passed your trial to earn your inheritance."

The figure couldn't react at first, but then it suddenly revealed a look of understanding as it quickly turned to look at Lin Fan and the others. After looking at them for a bit, the figure suddenly said, "So you're the ones that have cleared my trial?"

After it said this, it burst out in laughter before saying, "Good, good, it's been too long! Now I can finally rest easy!"

When it burst out in laughter, there was a powerful aura that spread from it, showing that it had power that was far from what Lin Fan and the others could compare to. If it wanted, it definitely would have been able to easily take care of them.

But now it seemed that it wanted to give its inheritance to them which was definitely a good thing.

However, Lin Fan knew that it wasn't a good thing.
