Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Sixth Grade Inheritance
Xu Nian watched the three approaching people, with a hint of surprise on his face.
Because at this moment, Guihai Tiangong’s cultivation actually broke through, reaching the late stage Earth Immortal Realm level.
It seems that Gui Hai Qinglong was not completely unfruitful outside before, to be able to refine the Immortal Body in such a short time, he must have encountered some fortuitous events.
Li Tiangang and Liu Bai Ru also noticed this point, astonished that Gui Hai Qinglong actually broke through.
This means that the opponent’s three are all now at the late stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivation.
"Guihai Tiangong, I want to be assessed, what’s it to you? If you want to be assessed, you’ll have to wait in line behind me," Shi Guangxu arrogantly said.
He couldn’t care less whether Guihai Tiangong had broken through or not, as he couldn’t beat him anyway.
As long as Xu Nian was present, even if Guihai Tiangong broke through to Earth Immortal Peak, he was unafraid.
Guihai Tiangong’s eyes turned ominous, with killing intent bursting forth.
However, he no longer paid attention to Shi Guangxu, knowing that entangling with Shi Guangxu was meaningless.
He focused his gaze on Xu Nian, filled with intense hatred.
"Xu Nian, how vicious you are, using the Void Insect Clan to kill my father and uncle. I, Guihai Tiangong, swear to take your dog’s life," Guihai Tiangong coldly said, his voice icy and filled with killing intent.
"I’m vicious? If you hadn’t used Spiritual Demon Powder first, I wouldn’t have calculated against you. I merely returned the favor in kind. If you feel dissatisfied, you are welcome to seek revenge; I, Xu Nian, will accompany you to the end," Xu Nian coldly replied, his voice indifferent and resolute.
In his view, Guihai Tiangong is no different from those he encountered before, only allowing him to harm others but not letting others harm them.
To such people, Xu Nian found no reason to speak, there was only one word: kill!
Upon hearing this, Guihai Tiangong’s gaze grew more poisonous and resentful.
The next moment, he was about to make a move.
However, Elder Yu Mo intervened and stopped him.
"Obtaining the inheritance is crucial right now. Besides, at this moment, you may not hold much advantage; it’s not late to kill him after gaining the inheritance," Elder Yu Mo spoke up.
Guihai Tiangong, having heard this, did not make a move.
Even if he now broke through to the late stage Earth Immortal Realm, his strength had greatly increased, but he wasn’t necessarily confident he could defeat Xu Nian.
Attacking now is indeed unwise.
"Hmph, I’ll let you live a bit longer for now. Once I obtain the inheritance, it’ll be your death day," Guihai Tiangong sneered coldly.
Xu Nian, upon hearing this, smiled coldly without rushing to make a move.
He was confident he could kill Guihai Tiangong.
However, the premise was that Elder Yu Mo and the assassin organization leader, Wei Dong, wouldn’t get involved.
Although both Elder Yu Mo and Wei Dong are late stage Earth Immortal Realm, Xu Nian sensed a dangerous aura from them.
Therefore, Xu Nian did not plan to make a move now.
Although he wanted to kill Guihai Tiangong to prevent future troubles, the time wasn’t right yet.
"Since you also want to obtain the inheritance, let’s make an agreement: during the inheritance trial, we do not interfere with each other; after claiming the inheritance, we will battle to determine life and death. How about it?" Xu Nian proposed.
Guihai Tiangong pondered for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly replied, "Alright, then it’s a deal; after obtaining the inheritance, we’ll battle to determine life and death."
Xu Nian, upon hearing this, smiled slightly, saying no more.
He did not demand Guihai Tiangong swear an oath; even if required, Guihai Tiangong wouldn’t swear.
If there was a chance, Xu Nian believed Guihai Tiangong would not miss an opportunity to kill, and he wouldn’t miss any chance to kill Guihai Tiangong because of some foolish oath.
"Hmph, in the end, they still don’t dare to fight. I don’t care about you guys; I’m taking my inheritance first," Shi Guangxu scoffed disdainfully, slapping his palm on the stone pillar.
The next moment, the array patterns on the stone pillar lit up.
A line of big characters appeared on the stone pillar.
Grade: Third-grade!
Rating: Trash!
Shi Guangxu was instantly stupefied.
Li Tiangang, Liu Bai Ru, and others were also surprised.
Not to mention them, even Xu Nian was a bit dumbfounded.
"Haha, only third-grade. You were so arrogant before; what do you have to say now?" Guihai Tiangong laughed heartily.
"Damn, there must be something wrong with the formation; after so many years, it must be broken. How could my talent be only third-grade?" Shi Guangxu cursed loudly.
Those around couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Shi Guangxu had been boasting about being ninth-grade, only to end up with third-grade.
This was truly too embarrassing.
"Low talent is low; why be afraid to admit it? Didn’t you see the rating above? Trash!" Guihai Tiangong mocked laughingly again.
"Don’t be too pleased; maybe you’ll end up no better than me," Shi Guangxu retorted.
Guihai Tiangong dismissively sneered, ignoring Shi Guangxu.
"Let me try!" Li Anshan offered, then stepped forward to place his hand on the stone pillar.
Soon, the stone pillar lit up.
But when he saw the characters on the stone pillar, his face turned dark.
Grade: Fourth-grade!
Rating: Mediocre!
Li Anshan returned with a helpless expression.
"Let me try!" Li Tiangang said.
Then, he also placed his hand on the stone pillar.
The stone pillar lit up, and two lines of characters appeared.
Grade: Second-grade!
Rating: Garbage!
Li Tiangang was instantly enraged, his beard almost went askew from anger.
This talent assessment was simply too difficult.
"My turn!" Liu Bai Ru spoke.
Then her figure darted out, placing her hand on the stone pillar.
The stone pillar lit up!
Grade: Fifth-grade!
Rating: Ordinary!
Liu Bai Ru looked at the two lines of characters, shaking her head helplessly.
She didn’t reach sixth-grade; this assessment was indeed challenging.
Guihai Tiangong no longer laughed, for he also realized that the Sage Sect’s talent assessment was much tougher than external evaluations.
"Mei Ji, try it!" Xu Nian encouraged Mei Ji with a smile.
"Me?" Mei Ji was surprised, seemingly a bit embarrassed.
After all, several people had failed before her, and she doubted she would pass either.
"Give it a try!" Xu Nian encouraged.
Only then did Mei Ji nod.
She walked to the stone pillar, placing her fair hand on it.
"Buzz!"
The stone pillar lit up, showing three lines of characters.
Grade: Sixth-grade!
Rating: Talented!
Capability to obtain Sixth Grade Inheritance Secret Technique, Purple Eyes Smoke Ascending Technique!
Then the stone pillar emitted a stream of light directly into Mei Ji’s forehead.
The next moment, an aura surged from Mei Ji, her entire being became ethereal and elusive, a pair of purple eyes mesmerizing.
This secret technique inheritance allowed one to instantly master the technique without needing cultivation.
So the moment the stream of light entered Mei Ji’s forehead, she had already mastered the technique.
The people around were full of surprise; unexpectedly, Mei Ji obtained the inheritance.
Though they didn’t know what kind of secret technique the Purple Eyes Smoke Ascending Technique was.
Xu Nian was also a bit surprised, as he suspected, Mei Ji might have acquired a soul-controlling type secret technique, given her Innate Charm Body.
