Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1086: Chapter 14: Inside Xuan Yuan Palace (Part 2)

Wang Sheng gazed at the magnificent Inheritance Palace of Xuan Yuan Palace.

Without any hesitation, his Divine Thought pierced directly inside.

Originally, he needed to rely on karma to see the scene inside.

But now, having broken through the Thirteenth Realm, Xuan Yuan Palace could no longer obstruct him.

His Divine Thought easily entered the interior of the Inheritance Palace.

There was no hindrance whatsoever.

Wang Sheng felt relieved.

“If it could still block my power, I’d have to run as far as I possibly could!”

If a palace could block the power of the Thirteenth Realm, the strength of its creator would be beyond imagination.

He certainly wouldn’t confront it head-on.

Soon, his Divine Thought instantly arrived at the place he saw when he first opened it.

Here, the cultivators entering the Xuan Yuan Palace had obtained a Secret Technique, which, although just the initial Chapter, was already a Saint Emperor Level Secret Technique, and comprehending it was the trial; understanding it thoroughly allowed entry to the next level of the trial.

At this time, there were already fewer cultivators here.

The Deep Sea Saint Emperor and the Boundless Saint Emperor under his command were not present.

The fewer cultivators either found it hopeless to comprehend the Secret Technique and left the Inheritance Palace, causing quite a stir at the time.

As for the other few, even though Wang Sheng hadn’t seen them, he could guess they had entered the next level of the trial, as he could still sense the presence of the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and the Boundless Saint Emperor further inside.

For those cultivators still here…

“The first level of the trial has a maximum of a hundred years, and since the inheritance was initiated, it’s been several decades. These cultivators probably don’t have much hope.”

Wang Sheng glanced, and all those still in the first level were cultivators below Saint level. After all, a Saint Emperor Level Secret Technique is easy for a Saint Emperor to comprehend, and a Saint can manage with effort, but for other realms, it’s purely a matter of insight.

Of course, the higher the realm, the greater the advantage.

“Such a trial seems to have not focused on lower realms from the start, or perhaps the initial target was the Saint Emperors?”

“If that’s the case, perhaps the Source Pen is really among them?”

He remembered clearly that the condition for using the Source Pen was five Saint Emperors.

If the final inheritance could offer the chance to use the Source Pen, such a selection for the Saint Emperors would make sense.

Thinking of this, his Divine Thought did not linger here but continued to delve deeper.

Still breaking through smoothly, this breakthrough was silent, and the Palace Spirit that initially came to explain the rules to the inheritors did not react.

He entered a new space.

“Is it still comprehending the Secret Technique?”

In this space, inheritors each found a place to comprehend, clearly similar to the first trial.

However, Wang Sheng still did not see the Saint Emperors under his command, indicating they were even deeper.

He did not stop and continued further until he saw the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and the Boundless Saint Emperor at the fifth trial. Besides them, other Saint Emperors from the Conquest Sect who entered the Inheritance Palace were all present here.

Of course, the Palace Spirit administering the trial was also present.

The fifth trial was no longer about comprehending the Secret Technique but practical combat.

Moreover, it was combat with suppressed realms.

Wang Sheng glanced around.

“Oh, there’s even someone at the Seventh Realm?”

He was somewhat surprised.

He knew there were Seventh Realm cultivators in the Inheritance Palace; when the palace opened, lower-realm cultivators had sneaked in.

However, among those cultivators, besides the Seventh Realm cultivator before him, all others were stuck at the first trial.

A Secret Technique at the Saint Emperor Level is not something one can comprehend just by wanting to.

Moreover, the Secret Techniques of the subsequent trials would undoubtedly be more complex.

Not to mention, the fourth trial still had several Eleventh Realm Saints present.

They couldn’t advance to the fifth trial, yet someone at the Seventh Realm could…

While it’s unclear, the insight of this Seventh Realm individual must be extremely astonishing.

And it’s precisely because of this Seventh Realm’s presence that the trial suppresses everyone to the Seventh Realm.

At this moment, the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and another Saint Emperor were battling.

Both were suppressed to the Seventh Realm.

“The combat Secret Techniques are all from the previous trial layers… a further test, could it really be for inheritance?”

Wang Sheng believed it couldn’t be that simple.

One must know that Xuan Yuan Palace was once a force obliterated by the Old Land Starry Sky.

Although Yuanhua and his allies were the main force back then, it doesn’t mean others weren’t involved.

It might just be that the Saint Emperors entering the Inheritance Palace this time were among the comprehendors.

He doubted that Xuan Yuan Palace would leave inheritance for those who had participated in their destruction.

The most crucial thing is, how could the destroyed Xuan Yuan Palace possess an Inheritance Palace that can only be unlocked by the Thirteenth Realm?

At this time, both the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and his opponent seemed a bit off.

Their fighting spirit wasn’t strong.

This was very abnormal; to gain the final inheritance, how could there not be fighting spirit?

Wang Sheng glanced at the Palace Spirit.

Then continued further.

Advancing with unstoppable momentum, the palace had its own defense mechanism, and all Twelfth Realm must bow, just like the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and the others; being a Saint Emperor doesn’t help either, as they are suppressed to the Seventh Realm.

This is why the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and his opponent lacked battle intent.

Not only them, but everyone in the fifth trial, except for that Seventh Realm cultivator, lacked battle intent, as they also sensed something was amiss.

’This inheritance is too powerful!’

It’s not that the inheritance isn’t strong, but it’s overwhelmingly strong, to a level unlike Xuan Yuan Palace.

’Even the Saint Emperors can be easily suppressed; if Xuan Yuan Palace were this powerful in the past, how could it have been destroyed?’

’Conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy!’

This was the consensus among the Saint Emperors.

Yet none dared to voice these suspicions.

After all, who knows if saying it out loud might lead to immediate silencing.

They didn’t even dare to hold back in battle.

Only dared to fight normally.

capable of easily suppressing their power to such a level, detecting anomalies, exterminating them wouldn’t be an issue.

There’s only one way to leave, which is to lose.

’It’s the first time I hope you can be a bit more powerful, give it your all, Evil Child!’ the Deep Sea Saint Emperor thought inwardly.

’The first time I hope someone of the same level could defeat me, Deep Sea, put in some effort!’ The Evil Child Saint Emperor’s thought was similar.

Subsequently, the two engaged in a regular battle.

It was the most conventional fight.

The Saint Emperors present all understood, only the Seventh Realm individual seemed a bit confused.

Just as the Saint Emperors hoped their opponents would be stronger, allowing themselves to lose, Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought had already reached the deepest part of the Inheritance Palace.

And here—

“Heh, not only is the Source Pen absent, but there’s nothing else here either… what, ultimately, is being inherited?”

Wang Sheng entered the deepest part, having seen the entire Inheritance Palace clearly.

There are a total of nine trials, and ultimately, only one inheritor will remain, starting from the seventh trial, there’s no leaving; elimination means death.

And for such inheritance, the final palace had nothing.

His initial target, the Source Pen, was not here, nor were there any items an eventual inheritor should receive—Cultivation Techniques, Secret Treasures, or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—none were present.

Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought looked back, focusing again on the Palace Spirit.

He was a figure of illusory light and shadow, watching the competition without any expression.

“Is it on you?”

Wang Sheng considered striking directly, destroying the palace and capturing the Palace Spirit for interrogation.

But ultimately, he held back.

“The palace, if I’m not mistaken, was likely created by a Thirteenth Realm entity. Destroying the palace might alert someone, and although I might not fear someone at the Thirteenth Realm, it would make obtaining the Source Pen much harder…”

The Thirteenth Realm, he did not fear.

But regarding the Source Pen, he was increasingly intrigued.

“The Source Pen can enable a Saint Emperor to become a top-tier Saint Emperor, then what about the first Xuan Yuan Palace that obtained the Source Pen? If Xuan Yuan Palace’s destruction also resulted from using the Source Pen but failing to overcome calamities, yet now it clearly appears and still possesses Thirteenth Realm strength…”

“How interesting, maybe the power of the Source Pen has been underestimated. If so—”

Wang Sheng looked at the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and conveyed some instructions.
