Chapter 515: Chapter 458 Saint Heir_2
"Oh? Looking for heirs for the Nine Palaces?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly, the selection requirements for disciples of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace were so high, and after so many years, no suitable heirs had been found. How could he have time to select heirs!
"Indeed! During the Ancient Times, there were a few individuals whose talents were extremely exceptional, and they received the teachings of the Nine Palaces, but since no Saint Heir was born, they all vanished into the long river of history. Now that you have inherited the Palace Master’s teachings, Saint Heir, you must swiftly gather nine heirs to inherit the teachings of the Nine Palaces and delay no longer!"
The white-haired elder spoke with grave seriousness.
Lin Feng’s expression also darkened, "Elder, the requirements for the heirs of the Nine Palaces are so high, and after so many years, there are only a few suitable candidates, it’s probably impossible to gather them all in a short time."
Lin Feng’s point was reasonable, after countless thousands of years, there were only a few suitable people for the inheritance of the Nine Great Palaces; how could he possibly find nine heirs in a short time!
"Saint Heir, the previous requirements were indeed a bit high. Now that you have inherited the Palace Master’s teachings, the requirements for the heirs of the Nine Great Palaces can be slightly lowered, the specific standards can be decided entirely by you!"
The white-haired elder said solemnly.
Uh!
Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, the Thick Earth Palace Master actually delegated the entire responsibility to him, allowing him to decide!
After pondering for a while, Lin Feng nodded his head, Let’s search then! If suitable candidates are found later, they’ll be recommended.
"By the way, Elder Jin, what about those people outside? Should their tests continue?"
Lin Feng remembered there were still some people waiting for the test and looked at the Puppet Person Jing Yi to ask.
"Saint Heir, you can just call me Jing Yi!"
Jing Yi greeted Lin Feng with a fist and said, "Although it’s difficult for those people outside to meet the requirements for the heirs of the Nine Great Palaces, there are a few who are not bad and more than sufficient to become ordinary disciples; the tests must continue!"
Lin Feng nodded and asked, "Then what is the next test?"
"The next test is the combat strength test; they will each fight against puppets of different levels!"
Jing Yi stated.
"Oh? There are puppets in the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace?"
Lin Feng asked in surprise, thinking that the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace only had Jing Yi and Shi Yi as puppets!
"Jing Yi, you go and oversee the tests!"
The white-haired elder spoke and waved towards Jing Yi.
"Yes! Thick Earth Palace Master, Saint Heir, I will take my leave!"
Jing Yi gave a fist salute and quickly left to oversee the tests.
"Saint Heir, our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace has a large number of puppets, the most powerful of whom are nine individuals, including Jing Yi and Shi Yi, each possessing the strength of a Martial King Peak, stationed in each of the Nine Great Palaces. Additionally, there are many puppets of various levels!"
The white-haired elder explained to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng suddenly understood; it seemed the current operations of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace relied on these puppets while the white-haired elder, as a mere remnant soul, spent most of his time in deep slumber.
Lin Feng looked thoughtful; now that he had become the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, he had to consider both his and the Divine Palace’s interests.
Some of those people outside were against him; he could not let them obtain the inheritance.
Especially that Xue Mo, who had previously tried to kill him. If he became a disciple of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace and received its inheritance, it would be harmful and not beneficial at all for Lin Feng.
"Elder, can I arrange their assessment?"
Lin Feng looked a bit uneasy as he asked the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder heard this and smiled, "Of course, you are now the Saint Heir, the future Palace Master. Selection of your disciples is definitely up to you!"
Lin Feng was pleased to hear this, being in charge made things easier.
"That... Elder, among those people there are some I don’t want to receive the inheritance, what about that?"
Lin Feng said with an embarrassed smile.
The white-haired elder was taken aback and chuckled, "Saint Heir, the selection of your disciples will form your future base. You have full authority over what kind of people you need, and you can even directly appoint heirs for the Nine Great Palaces, of course, provided that their talents are not too lacking!"
"Oh!"
Lin Feng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, he didn’t expect that just after becoming the Saint Heir, the white-haired elder would grant him such significant privileges.
In fact, in the Ancient Times, the Saint Heirs of Heavenly Vault Divine Palace did not have such extensive privileges, but times have changed. The white-haired elder had waited so long for the appearance of a Saint Heir like Lin Feng and, of course, wanted to grant him the maximum privileges to enhance his sense of belonging to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.
Then, the white-haired elder waved his arm, and a fantastical screen appeared before the two, displaying the testing square outside.
At the moment, everyone in the square was waiting. Various noises of chatter were also transmitted through the screen.
Everyone was somewhat discontented, with complaints rising and falling as they had been waiting for an hour.
Xue Mo’s face was somber as water, the puppet middle-aged man had taken Lin Feng away and had not come back, leaving them waiting for an entire hour.
"Prince Blood Luo, what is that puppet up to? He still hasn’t come back; could it be that he’s taken Lin Feng to receive the inheritance?" Behind Xue Mo, a talented individual from Blood Luo Hall furrowed his brows and spoke.
People from Blood Luo Hall, who still had considerable talent, had passed the previous eliminations, and about six or seven individuals remained.
Hearing this, Xue Mo’s face grew even uglier. He also suspected this, which made him extremely gloomy inside.
Although Lin Feng’s tested talent was quite good, at the very least, he should receive the appropriate rewards after all tests were concluded! But the puppet man had left everyone behind and took only Lin Feng to receive the inheritance!
How could this not anger him!
Wenren Tianyi, Chu Zhantian, and Lei Xiao also wore unhappy expressions. Others were going to receive the inheritance while they were left out here; nobody could be happy about that.
"Junior Sister Hong, where do you think that puppet man has taken Lin Feng?"
Chu Yunfeng asked with a grave expression towards Hong Qingxuan beside him.
"I’m not sure!" Hong Qingxuan’s expression was cool as she gently shook her head.
"Could it be that he’s taken to receive the inheritance? The tests haven’t even finished, and taking Lin Feng to receive the inheritance, isn’t it too disrespectful to us!" Chu Yunfeng said darkly.
Hong Qingxuan slightly flicked her eyebrows, displeased with the puppet man’s actions, but they had come here for the Ancient Inheritance, so they had nothing to say but to quietly wait.
At that moment, Hong Qingxuan felt somewhat puzzled. Lin Feng’s tested talent was indeed higher than theirs, but according to past rumors, his Level Seven talent and Level Eight attribute talent shouldn’t warrant such high regard from the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace!
But why would the middle-aged puppet directly take him away, Hong Qingxuan couldn’t understand!
As everyone anxiously waited, a whooshing sound came from the sky – Jing Yi was back!
Above the square, Jing Yi’s figure cut through the air.
"Alright! The test continues!"
Jing Yi surveyed the crowd and declared loudly.
The previous test had not ended yet; there were still quite a few people who hadn’t been tested.
"Senior, where is Lin Feng?"
Seeing Lin Feng hadn’t returned with him, Xue Mo’s expression shifted, and he asked with a gloomy face.
Hearing Xue Mo’s words, everyone also stared at Jing Yi, curious about Lin Feng’s whereabouts.
"I took Lin Feng to undergo a special trial. He failed the trial and has been transported out of Heavenly Vault Divine Realm!"
Of course, Jing Yi wouldn’t tell the crowd the truth and casually brushed it off with a statement: "Let’s begin!"
"Trial failed? Transported out?"
The crowd was slightly astonished upon hearing this; Xue Mo, Wenren Tianyi, and Hong Qingxuan all slightly frowned, somewhat disbelieving.
Following that, the test continued. Among the remaining individuals, only a few had talents or attribute talents that reached Level Four.
An hour later, the test concluded. Out of nearly a thousand participants, less than a hundred qualified, and all who failed were eliminated and transported out of the Heavenly Vault Divine Realm.
"Good, congratulations on successfully completing the second phase of the trial. Now, we will proceed to the third phase, the strength test!"
Jing Yi looked at the remaining people and loudly declared, his words falling, he formed a Seal with both hands, pushing towards the sky above. Suddenly, the sky trembled, revealing a golden portal three feet in perimeter.
"In the third phase, you will undergo a test in the battle strength arena! If you can win three consecutive matches, you will be deemed qualified!"
