As the communication network of the entire Ancient Cave Heaven was established, all information became transparent. Not only the inheritance of Yujian Villa, but the inheritances of other ancient forces were also gradually developed and discovered.

But among all these inheritance ruins, the most special one was still Yujian Villa’s inheritance, because most inheritances didn’t have such a low entry threshold. Many people could more or less obtain some superficial inheritance knowledge, and even those core inheritances were rarely limited to just one or two people.

Only Yujian Villa handed its most core inheritance to a single person, and the threshold was high and harsh. Ever since Long Sen entered, it completely stopped opening to the outside world. After hiding and sinking underground, even the traces left by the seniors of the past could no longer be seen.

At first, only a small group knew about this, but as the news spread wider and wider, more and more people learned of it. Now, almost all the young geniuses knew about the existence of these Lands of Inheritance.

Nowadays, almost every ancient force ruin was packed with people—hundreds of millions at the low end, over a billion at the high end. Everyone was squeezing their brains out trying to obtain an inheritance from within. People challenged nonstop, and people got eliminated nonstop.

As for Yujian Villa, after Long Sen entered, that place had fallen silent for quite a while. But recently, thin wisps of Sword Qi appeared again in the area above Yujian Villa. Those who had once wandered around Yujian Villa couldn’t help but start guessing—was Yujian Villa about to reappear?

After that, a massive wave of people surged into the area of Yujian Villa, their number even exceeding two billion!

It had to be known that, according to reliable information, Long Sen had received the recognition of the Divine Artifact’s Sword Spirit from Yujian Villa. In other words, he had a ten out of ten chance of already obtaining Yujian Villa’s most core inheritance. Once he came out, he would definitely be loaded with gains!

Compared to forcing your way through layer upon layer of trials in other inheritances, wasn’t it much more direct and easier to rob a ready-made owner?

Even if Yujian Villa’s inheritance was terrifying, in just over two years, no matter how huge his improvement was, it was impossible for him to stand above everyone else! And even if he could fight one against a hundred, could he possibly handle this many people?

After all, in their understanding, a guy like Gu Xiao was just an exception!

In fact, many people were extremely wary of Gu Xiao’s existence, because according to the data, this Long Sen and Gu Xiao had some connections. At the very beginning, Yujian Villa didn’t even acknowledge Long Sen’s Gift.

But Gu Xiao fed him some unknown thing, which instantly skyrocketed the grade of his Sword Bone, and only then did he gain the Sword Spirit’s recognition.

That kind of thing was definitely incomparably precious, impossible to measure with money. But Gu Xiao just casually threw it to him like that, which showed that their relationship was far from as simple as "having some connections." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

They had seen Gu Xiao’s skills. Half a survival base, hundreds of millions of people, and none of them could do anything to him. For him, human wave tactics were utterly meaningless.

If he found out Long Sen was being surrounded, and if he stepped up for Long Sen, this matter would become impossible to wrap up peacefully.

But then a massive twist appeared, because for a full two years, there had been no news at all about Gu Xiao in this Ancient Cave Heaven. With his flamboyant and arrogant personality, how could he possibly disappear all of a sudden? That trouble magnet would literally feel uncomfortable all over if he didn’t stir up some chaos for just one day!

This situation inevitably made people’s thoughts run wild. Either he was dead, or he had also obtained some relic inheritance and was currently digesting the information. Anyway, whichever it was, he couldn’t possibly rush over to help Long Sen in a short time.

So they had deliberately made a big show out of things at the start, just to let this news leak out. With Gu Xiao’s personality, knowing that his friend was being surrounded, he would definitely come over.

But a month had passed, and Gu Xiao still hadn’t shown up. If he wasn’t in some very special place and still alive, then no matter how far he was from Yujian Villa, he should have arrived by now, right?

...

Yujian Villa—Sword Qi in this area had already become extremely dense, and the ground had begun to faintly tremble.

"It’s coming out! Yujian Villa is coming out!"

"Looks like that guy called Long Sen should have already obtained the inheritance inside and learned a few things."

"I’m so jealous, man. He even got the Artifact Spirit guidance of the Yujian Villa Master’s weapon. Even in the current Yujian Villa, nobody gets treatment like that, right?"

"No idea how big the gap is between the current Yujian Villa and this ancient Yujian Villa."

"Look! It’s out!"

As the tremors grew more and more intense, a sharp corner appeared in everyone’s line of sight, followed by an ancient-looking building, then a garden... An entire villa fully revealed its true face within twenty minutes.

No one rushed forward recklessly, because the main gate of Yujian Villa was still tightly shut. The first time someone came here, he had tried to forcibly open the gate of Yujian Villa, and afterward he died a truly miserable death. The Sword Qi here showed him what cruelty really meant.

"Crack!" No one expected that just moments later, the gate of Yujian Villa would actually open on its own.

"Kid, your current strength is still too weak. Only when you advance to the Dao Realm can you truly become my next master. Go outside and temper yourself for a few years first!"

"Son of a—!" Long Sen, clothes in tatters, was thrown out of Yujian Villa by some unknown force and slammed heavily onto the ground.

His clothes were ripped and shredded, obviously sliced apart by some sharp weapon.

During these two and a half years of devil training, he had suffered like hell. The Sword Spirit showed almost no mercy during his assessments, fully training him like it was trying to kill him. Honestly, if Long Sen’s life weren’t tough enough, he’d probably already be a corpse by now.

But these two and a half years of practice had also made his strength skyrocket. Not only had his Life Levels surged from Divine Breath Sixth Grade Peak to Divine Breath Eighth Grade, even his swordsmanship level had approached the Sixth Realm!

Besides that, he had learned a huge number of sword techniques, and the Sword Spirit really had treated him as Yujian Villa’s successor, pouring out everything it had.

"That damn brat." Long Sen cursed under his breath as he walked out of the villa, but when he turned his head, he was scared stiff by the sea of people before his eyes.

"So many people... there’s no way they’re all here to welcome me, right?" Long Sen sucked in a cold breath. Of course he knew these people weren’t here to welcome him. Just by looking at those pervy, hungry expressions, it was obvious they had bad intentions.

"Brother, you must’ve gotten quite a lot of goodies from Yujian Villa, huh?"

"No need for us to waste breath on nonsense, right? The inheritance of Yujian Villa belongs to whoever sees it. You’re not qualified to hog it all for yourself. Hand it over and share."

"We’ve been waiting here for you for over a month, you know."

Greedy light flickered in every pair of eyes.

...

"If you want to rob me, just say it. Calling it ’sharing’ is a bit too fake, don’t you think?" Long Sen shook his head.

He had been panicking at first, but he’d just received a message from Zhang Menglong, saying he was rushing here at full speed and told him to hold on a little longer.

With that, Long Sen suddenly felt a lot more confident.

Taking on this many people alone was impossible, but stalling for a bit of time—he should at least give it a try, right?

Long Sen deliberately retreated a few steps and hooked his finger at them. "If you’ve got the guts, come over here!"
