On the path of assessment.

Xiao Yi had already rushed out, his face full of joy.

"The Silent Sky Sword Dao might still be above the Star Illusion Swordsmanship."

Being able to obtain such a formidable Sword Dao was naturally a great joy for Xiao Yi, a Sword Cultivator.

However, speaking of the increase in strength, there wasn’t any.

After all, he was already perfecting his own Sword Dao, and he had comprehended and mastered the Star Illusion Swordsmanship to a very high level.

As for the Silent Sky Sword Dao, although he had comprehended it, to say he mastered it, to make it his own, he had not yet reached that stage.

Once the Silent Sky Sword Dao is accomplished and added to his own Sword Dao, that will be the time when his true strength will dramatically increase.

Of course, this cannot be rushed; after all, the Martial Arts Dao requires steady progress, step by step.

"The Martial Technique within the inheritance, I must find some time to cultivate it," Xiao Yi said joyfully to himself.

A complete inheritance is not just Martial Arts Knowledge.

What it contains is the life’s skill of this senior.

However, the assessment of this inheritance was originally divided into two steps.

Inheritance is inheritance, assessment is assessment.

The inheritance is within the Inheritance Land, and the assessment is on this canyon path.

But Xiao Yi completed them in one go.

To comprehend the inheritance during the assessment, within the Main Hall’s assessment, seemed to be the first time.

"Senior Jikong, thank you." Xiao Yi turned around and bowed towards the Gang Wind within the canyon passage.

After speaking, Xiao Yi turned around, intending to leave.

Just about to leave, he furrowed his brow.

Previously, the Chengfeng Hall Master had said that after passing the path of assessment, he would return to the Main Hall.

But it seems that this place is still far from the Main Hall.

In front, there is an endless distance.

This is merely exiting that canyon, that expanse of mountains.

Swish...

At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air.

It was the Chengfeng Hall Master.

"Chengfeng Hall Master." Xiao Yi slightly bowed.

"Hmm." Chengfeng Hall Master nodded, "Kid, let’s go, I’ll take you back to the Main Hall."

Saying this, the Chengfeng Hall Master, as usual, grabbed Xiao Yi’s arm.

Xiao Yi’s face changed.

He still had no power to resist, as in the previous two times.

Swish...

In just a few breaths.

Before Xiao Yi realized it, with a slight tremor of his footsteps, he had returned to the back hall of the Main Hall.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was already full of black lines.

"Chengfeng Hall Master, next time I’ll just fly back slowly by myself," he said.

Chengfeng Hall Master did not answer, said, "Let’s go, follow me."

Under the lead of Chengfeng Hall Master, Xiao Yi came to the front of a study in the middle of the back hall.

In front of the study, Xiao Yi looked around.

No matter how many times he observed, the gigantic, city-in-city-like back hall still left one in awe.

Pushing open the study door.

Inside was evidently the study where a certain Hall Master handled the hall’s affairs on a daily basis.

At this time, an elder was flipping through dossiers at the study’s desk.

Seeing the arrival of Chengfeng Hall Master and Xiao Yi, the elder stopped flipping through.

"Hall Master," Chengfeng Hall Master greeted with a bow.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s expression was surprised, and he too greeted with a bow, "Greetings to the Master of the Main Hall."

Chengfeng Hall Master was one of the Ten Great Hall Masters of the Wind Shattering Hall.

There was only one person in the world he would bow to and address as Hall Master.

The Wind Shattering Hall Master.

The legendary expert, the continent’s foremost expert in Controlling the air.

However, no one knows how many years the Master of the Main Hall has lived, or how many years he has existed.

It’s only known that the records of the Master of the Main Hall’s actions in historical records date back many, many years.

Such an expert, even a Martial Arts Great Power in front of him, is merely a joke.

So naturally, Xiao Yi dared not be impudent.

"You may leave now," the elder glanced at Chengfeng Hall Master.

"Yes." Chengfeng Hall Master responded, bowed, and left.

Indeed, the elder was the person on the high mountain before, the Wind Shattering Hall Master.

After Chengfeng Hall Master left.

In the study, only the Master of the Main Hall and Xiao Yi remained.

"No need to be reserved." The Master of the Main Hall smiled faintly, looking at a chair in the corner of the desk.

Xiao Yi gave a shy smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Master of the Main Hall, there’s no need, I prefer to stand."

It wasn’t that Xiao Yi was pretentious, but that he felt completely at ease and uncomfortable at the moment.

He had no words to describe this feeling.

The elder in front of him gave him a feeling, much stronger than any powerful person he had seen before.

This is the aura of a strong person, no, even more than that...

Xiao Yi trembled inwardly; in his perception, the elder’s aura was exactly the same as the aura of the Heaven and Earth Rules.

He didn’t know how to describe it.

This was beyond what the word ’strong’ could describe.

If such an expert made a move against him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to use his trump card.

"I said, no need to be reserved, come over here." The Master of the Main Hall’s face turned serious.

"Yes," Xiao Yi swallowed his saliva, slowly approached, and then sat on the chair.

At this point, the Master of the Main Hall moved a dossier to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

This dossier was the exact same one that the Master of the Main Hall had been flipping through a moment ago.

"Take a look," the Master of the Main Hall said lightly.

Xiao Yi nodded, reading the contents of the dossier.

After a while, he furrowed his brow, but soon returned to normal.

"I see." Xiao Yi’s expression was calm.

This dossier contained information about the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

Of course, it also mentioned the contention among the Hundred Schools.

In fact, it was only now that Xiao Yi learned of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

The so-called Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is the cave mansion of an extremely ancient Martial Artist on this continent after his death.

The cave mansion has stood for millions of years, with Spiritual Energy never diminishing, like an immortal presence throughout ancient times.

Whenever it opened, the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb would cause storms of blood and rain, sweeping across the entire Central Region.

Later, in order to prevent such bloody turmoil, various forces joined hands to establish rules.

The so-called rules dictated that only those with a quota could enter the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

Moreover, they had to be young talents.

Among them, a quota was necessary.

There are a total of 10 quotas.

However, among these 10 quotas, 5 are special quotas.

These 5 special quotas belong to the Martial Arts Academy.

After all, the Martial Arts Academy is different from general forces; it is a place for teaching martial arts, where young martial artists cultivate martial arts, holding a superior position.

And the remaining 5 quotas belong to the vast forces of the Central Region.

In comparison, the mere hundred Martial Arts Academies contend for 5 quotas.

The countless forces in the vast Central Region contest for 5 quotas.

Naturally, it’s much easier among the hundred Martial Arts Academies.

After all, the forces throughout the entire Central Region are countless, with numerous first-class and top forces.

Take the Overlord Force, for instance, like the Beiyin Sect, the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures, and some relatively low-key large forces.

Merely the Overlord Forces number in dozens.

So many forces contending for 5 quotas, one can imagine the intensity of it.

While among the Martial Arts Academies, it’s much easier.

However, as a price, the quotas among the Martial Arts Academies also come with restrictions.

At this moment, the Master of the Main Hall looked at Xiao Yi, smiling with satisfaction, "You don’t care?"

"Care about what?" Xiao Yi smiled faintly.

...

Third update.
