"There is no need to be so hasty."

The old man saw Xiao Yi nod and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The journey to the Main Hall is not close; rest well and set off tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.

Going to the Main Hall to participate in the Inheritance Trial was something he had promised the Main Hall Master when he arrived at the Wind Shattering Hall a few days ago.

Since ancient times, the Wind Shattering Hall has been responsible for intelligence gathering.

This place is within the Heavenly Hidden Territory.

Naturally, within this Main Hall are the intelligence files of the Heavenly Hidden Academy.

However, even in the Central Region, the Heavenly Hidden Academy is considered a transcendent power.

Therefore, even though Xiao Yi holds the title of Vice Hall Master, he does not have the authority to review information above the elder level within it.

It was only with the permission borrowed from the Main Hall Master that he was able to access the files inside.

And as a condition, he had to go to the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall as soon as possible to participate in the Inheritance Trial.

As for this Inheritance Trial, Xiao Yi originally thought it was just some test when he was in the Four-direction Domain last time.

It turned out to be an examination related to inheritance.

Such inheritance examinations were not unfamiliar to Xiao Yi.

Back in the Eastern Domain’s Demon Hunting Hall, Xiao Yi obtained the Skyfire Saint’s inheritance and a Domain Martial Skill, the Skyfire Seal.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Yi." The old man glanced at Xiao Yi.

"Going to the Main Hall for the inheritance test is highly beneficial; it’s not like sending you to cross some knife mountain or fire sea."

"Others would beg for this opportunity."

"And yet, you’re delaying again and again."

The token of the Wind Shattering Hall naturally has prohibitions inside.

Besides recording the identity and aura of the Palace Martial Artists, it is also linked to the Sub-Saint Artifacts of each hall.

This is why any Palace Martial Artist can prove their identity at any branch hall by showing the token.

And Xiao Yi’s identity records, etc., are handled over at the Main Hall.

Thus, when he showed his token at the Wind Shattering Hall a few days ago, the Main Hall had already been notified and sent a command for him to head to the Main Hall as soon as possible.

The same goes for the other seven halls.

If Xiao Yi takes his Asura Hall token to the Asura Hall Branch Hall, the Asura Hall Main Hall would look for him with just one command.

At this time, Xiao Yi shook his head, his expression calm, "Originally, there were matters to attend to, so I couldn’t fix a date."

"Now that there’s nothing else, I can set a time."

A few days ago, he had delayed because of the Hundred Schools’ competition.

He planned to, if there were no other matters after the competition, find time to go to the Main Hall for the test.

But now he no longer needs to participate in the Hundred Schools’ competition.

However, he still had a doubt.

"I’m not the only one going to participate in the Main Hall test, right?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

He recalled that back in the Four-direction Domain, those few Vice Hall Masters said that usually, any Martial Arts Genius appearing within the Main Halls would go to the Main Hall for a test if recognized by the Main Hall.

This is the Main Hall’s kindness to the younger generation of Palace Martial Artists.

"Yes." The old man nodded and replied, "Including you, there are ten participants in this Inheritance Test."

"These ten people come from various places in the Central Region, but each of them is one of the most outstanding young talents in the Wind Shattering Hall over the past few years."

"Ten people in total." Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "Then why is there such urgency to relay me?"

"Have the other nine arrived at the Main Hall?"

"Not yet." The old man shook his head, "As long as you haven’t given a clear answer, the Inheritance Test cannot be scheduled, and naturally, the other nine won’t head to the Main Hall just to wait."

"The urgency to relay you first," the old man stared at Xiao Yi with a strange look, "is because you alone are the most troublesome among the ten."

"Sometimes, the Palace can’t even trace your whereabouts, let alone find you."

"Your ability to vanish so thoroughly stumps even the Wind Masters in the Palace, let alone sending you a notice."

The old man paused, then continued, "Now that you’ve set a time, the other nine would proceed to the Main Hall."

"I’ll send a message to the Main Hall; once you arrive there, the Inheritance Test should commence."

"I see." Xiao Yi expressed slight embarrassment.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave." The old man waved him off.

"Set off early tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I’ll not disturb the Hall Master’s work any longer." Xiao Yi nodded and turned to leave.

Instead of heading to the room arranged for him in the Main Hall, Xiao Yi spent the night in a seclusion room as he often did.

...

The following morning, at the break of dawn, Xiao Yi left the seclusion room.

After bidding farewell to the Hall Master, Xiao Yi officially set off.

The journey to the Main Hall was not short, taking several months, at least.

This was the time it would take traveling at his current maximum speed.

The journey to the Main Hall was far longer than that to the Four-direction Domain.

...

Xiao Yi flew through the air, and before long, he completely left the Heavenly Hidden Territory.

The horizon in the distance stretched endlessly.

It must be said that the Central Region is indeed vast, composed of many territories.

Even flying across the region, he couldn’t fathom how many regions he had to cross to reach the Main Hall.

According to Xiao Yi’s estimation, it would take several months.

However, for him, even several months was not a short time.

After all, what he lacked most was time.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes slightly, and a wisp of Sword Intent burst from his eyes.

With a focus on his fingertip, a burst of Sword Qi broke through the sky.

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure leaped forward several kilometers in an instant.

Looking more closely, Xiao Yi’s speed suddenly increased significantly compared to before.

Strands of Sword Qi were swirling around Xiao Yi’s body at this moment.

The Sword Qi pierced through the wind, traveling through the air.

This was the reason for his increased speed at the moment.

At this rate, he should reach the Main Hall in about two months.

Xiao Yi thought to himself and secretly nodded.

In his view, going to the Main Hall for this Inheritance Test was, in a way, a form of training.

...

Ten days later, Xiao Yi had crossed multiple regions.

Along the way, he witnessed the wonders of many territories.

A single region was already vast, typically covering more than a million li.

Each region had its unique attributes.

For instance, the Cloud River Region had the Cloud Sea Dangerous Land where Stepping Cloud Beasts frolicked.

The Four-direction Domain was renowned for containing myriad dangerous lands.

And so on.

If it were a standard training journey or solo cultivation, traversing various regions could be an enriching experience.

However, Xiao Yi just didn’t have the leisure time for such exploration.

Perhaps, only after resolving all affairs in the future would he find such leisure.

Thinking this, Xiao Yi suddenly chuckled and shook his head.

But abruptly, the smile on his lips froze.

His eyes turned cold in an instant.

"Who?" Xiao Yi shouted coldly, sending out a burst of Sword Qi into the sky.

Below, several figures soared into the air.

"Xiao Yi." The leading old man glared at Xiao Yi.

"We’ve been waiting here for quite some time."

"And you are?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Suddenly, a fierce hand wind blasted towards him.

Xiao Yi flicked his fingertip, dispersing the hand wind with a burst of Sword Qi.

"Beiyin Essence Power? You’re from the Beiyin Sect?" Xiao Yi’s expression turned cold.

...
