"The Light of Inheritance appears beneath the feet of every practitioner who enters the relic. The relic's custodian uses the Light of Inheritance to assess the talents and potential of the practitioners, thus conducting another round of selection.
However... the situation with Xilin and Yan Lingxuan is somewhat special."
Emperor Beichen pondered, finding it perplexing. Could this scene be different from what his master had described? Could it not be the Light of Inheritance?
Baili Hongzhuang fell into silence as well. This was her first encounter with this phenomenon, and she couldn't make a proper judgment.
Just as Han Xilin and Yan Lingxuan secretly rejoiced while everyone else felt disheartened, suddenly, a deep and resonant voice reverberated through the main hall.
"Those who lack reverence are unworthy of receiving the qualifications for inheritance."
Hearing this voice, everyone's faces displayed a shared expression of shock.
Because the voice seemed to be speaking right beside their ears, remarkably clear and with a stunning effect.
With just a simple sentence, everyone could sense the formidable and terrifying power of the speaker, capable of annihilating anyone present!
For the first time, the group was left without any resistance upon hearing a single voice.
"What incredible power! Who is the speaker?" Lu Huaiyan's face filled with astonishment. Such strength was awe-inspiring.
All eyes continuously scanned the hall, attempting to discover the identity of the speaker.
Eventually, their gaze settled on the male statue. There was no one else present who could possess such power.
In the next instant, amidst everyone's shocked and horrified expressions, the statue that had been motionless all this time... moved!
It moved!
Everyone was petrified, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
This relic had been buried underground for so many years, and hadn't the custodian long since perished? How could it still move?
Baili Hongzhuang squinted her eyes. She had heard from the elders of her family that some powerful individuals could leave behind a strand of their spiritual essence after falling, using it to guide future generations.
However, this strand of spiritual essence was nothing more than a remnant of a fallen powerhouse and didn't possess any offensive capabilities.
Perhaps, the current situation was just as she had imagined.
"Oh my, am I seeing things?"
A young practitioner from Tiangang Sect stared blankly at the scene before him, feeling as if he were dreaming. He couldn't believe that what he was witnessing was real.
"I don't think you're seeing things, otherwise, we'd both be hallucinating," his friend beside him said slowly, his expression not much better.
If it weren't for the irresistibly tempting inheritance of this relic, they would have thought they were encountering ghosts and would be eager to escape.
"Indeed, I dislike such disrespectful individuals. Let's make them leave."
After the male statue spoke, the female statue beside him also spoke, her posture and presence indistinguishable from a living person!
"Qing'er, do as you please."
The man smiled affectionately at the woman, and when he looked at Han Xilin and Yan Lingxuan again, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Han Xilin and Yan Lingxuan hadn't manifested the Light of Inheritance beneath their feet because the relic's custodian disliked them, which led to this outcome!
This sudden change exceeded everyone's expectations. The envy that once filled their eyes as they looked at Han Xilin and Yan Lingxuan silently transformed into mockery and ridicule.
