Now they are completely sure that it is the survival of the fittest.
If it were normal cave abode everybody could gain one or two things and can even fish in troubled waters.
"Welcome geniuses of present era, my master have already set a trial for every level. Each trial you pass, you will receive either a precious fruit, herb, pill, cultivation techniques, scripture or artifact.
There are thirteen levels.
Each level you have to fight a puppet or demonic beast of the same cultivation.
The person that pass the whole test will get master's inheritance!" the artifact spirit chuckled.
He seemed to look down on the geniuses, 'after all none of them could pass stage twelve, they are so weak,' he thought.
He yawned lazily and disappeared.
"What an artifact spirit!" Maht said angrily. Other people were gloomy as well.
After all geniuses have their arrogance, but this particular artifact spirit looked down on them.
It was obvious that he didn't take seriously.
The fact is that the artifact spirit have been sleeping since the demise of his master in ancient era.
In ancient era, the essence of heaven and earth was abundant.
A handful of people are already sages on or before the age of twenty, emperors at one epoch at most.
The major diving line has always been great emperor realm.
His former master belonged to darkness clan, which is a branch of chaotic fiendcelestials lineage.
Back then he was already a peak dao ancestor sage at the age twenty.
Some people couldn't wait any longer they entered the cave abode to try their opportunities.
Aolig entered the cave abode, she came to a dry field, all of a sudden a demonic beast like rat came before her.
The demonic beast is in early stage of mortal-dust realm
She casually swung her sword but to her surprise, the beast was not hurt at all. It rather glared at her angrily.
"Interesting!"
Then she began to parry with the beast, she noticed that the demonic is much more terrifying than a peak mortal-dust realm cultivator.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
"Slash!"
"I have to get serious," Aolig muttered.
She brought out her flute and played "six songs of season!"
Six songs of season is a sage level music tome requiring at least a transcendent voice to perform it.
Aolig's voice make a qualitative breakthrough when her bloodline awakened.
"Autumn sun shines, earth dries," Aolig sang the song.
All of sudden a sun appeared with a terrifying pressure and intense daoist rhythm causing the earth to dry and break apart.
"Bang!"
The demonic beast was reduced to dust. Aolig gasped for breath. This was supposed to be her trump card and it is very tasking on her.
After that she scene before her broke apart. She found her self in a passage. She was surprised to see other participants.
"What is going, how come everybody is here?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, that damnable artifact spirit did not explain it properly, we still have to compete for rewards," a young cultivator complained.
Aolig lifted her eyes and looked, people were already fighting. Many have died already. She was a bit angry.
While Aolig was brooding over what was going on.
The artifact spirit was relaxing, enjoying the show. He couldn't care less even if they kill themselves.
"That little girl has master's bloodline and her aptitude is not bad, maybe I can help her a bit," the artifact spirit muttered as he watched Aolig's performance.
Aolig looked around without seeing all the cream crop heaven chosen which means that they must be in the second trial by now.
She decided to leave and go to the second trial.
She stepped through the door and it brought her to a plain ground.
Her opponents were two puppet of early stage mortal-dust realm. Aolig decided to be faster.
"Heaven palm!"
This is a bloodline ability in her memory. It is terrifying to the extreme. It involves suppressing the opponents with bloodline nobility until they are hit.
"Boom!"
To her surprise the two puppets were destroyed immediately. This was also her first time using that ability. She ran towards the exit.
"Interesting little girl!" the artifact spirit said as he stood up and clasp his hands behind his back.
He remembered that his master only awakened that ability after proving the law.
Now a hairless brat that is not yet sanctified already awakened the ability.
"Master's inheritance is awkward though, who should I pair her with for dual cultivation?" the artifact spirit thought pensively.
He looked at all the participants and until he saw a particular participant and his eyes lit up.
"Interesting!"
