Above the sky.

A meteor-like streak, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see, swiftly traversed the sky.

An hour later.

The streak halted, revealing the towering figure of the Hengtian Palace Master.

At the same time, beside him, was a disheveled figure.

The figure, with disordered clothes and hair, had a face full of embarrassment.

The figure was none other than Xiao Yi.

At this moment, besides a face full of embarrassment, Xiao Yi’s face also showed helplessness.

Other seniors, when flying at such a rapid speed, typically shield the juniors from the fierce wind.

Like Senior Chengfeng.

Though each time he suddenly took Xiao Yi on a rapid flight, startling him.

Yet Xiao Yi each time only found his footing unstable the moment he landed, with nothing else amiss.

But Senior Hengtian, addressing him as he traversed uncountable miles, flew without any concern.

Xiao Yi tried to gather primordial power to protect himself.

But with his current strength, the surging primordial power he conjured quickly dispersed in the fierce wind.

"Phew." Xiao Yi let out a sigh of relief, tidying his clothes that looked as if he’d engaged in a fierce battle.

Beside him, the Hengtian Palace Master glanced at Xiao Yi’s embarrassed figure and shook his head.

"Kid, is this all you’ve got?"

"After just a short flight, you look like this. If it were an actual battle, you’d fall instantly, wouldn’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, too lazy to respond.

The terrifying strength of the Hengtian Palace Master was evident just from his speed.

His strength was definitely beyond even that of the Beiyin Sect Great Elder, a Martial Arts Great Power.

"Alright, follow me." The Hengtian Palace Master glanced at Xiao Yi, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

In his view, the inheritance assessment of the Main Hall only opens once in many years.

Sometimes, if the young talents in the hall did not meet the requirements, it might not open for even a hundred years.

But each time it opens, the young talents in the hall flock to it eagerly, rushing in immediately.

Yet this time, even after multiple orders, Xiao Yi was not summoned, and even someone as esteemed as himself had to fetch him personally.

In the Hengtian Palace Master’s opinion, Xiao Yi was undoubtedly an extremely arrogant person.

Being arrogant is not necessarily a bad thing.

But being so arrogant as to disregard others is excessive.

At this point, Xiao Yi followed the Hengtian Palace Master onward.

Barring any surprises, he should be joining the other nine Heavenly Talents of the Asura Hall to open the Inheritance Land together.

As Xiao Yi walked, he looked around attentively.

This place was the Inner Hall of the Asura Hall Main Hall.

Its layout and size were quite similar to that of the Wind Shattering Hall.

Additionally, the distance between the Asura Hall Main Hall and the Wind Shattering Hall is not far.

At least, in the vast expanse of the Central Region, it is not far.

The two Main Halls are almost adjacent.

After all, the two halls are alliance halls.

Of course, the notion of distance here is relative.

The distance the Hengtian Palace Master covered in an hour could take Xiao Yi over ten days to traverse at full speed, possibly even longer.

Several minutes later.

Their steps suddenly came to a halt.

Ahead of them, an elder stood with hands clasped behind his back.

Imposing as the Hengtian Palace Master was, even he promptly paid respects upon seeing the elder, "Greetings, Hall Master."

"Why has the Hall Master..."

The elder waved his hand to indicate that the Hengtian Palace Master need not say more.

Xiao Yi, seeing this, quickly followed suit, "Greetings, Master of the Main Hall."

Similarly, the only person who could make the Hengtian Palace Master bow and call "Hall Master" in this world was the Asura Hall Master.

Naturally, Xiao Yi recognized the elder’s identity at first glance.

Additionally, the elder in front of him gave him a feeling identical to that of the Wind Shattering Hall Master.

If the Wind Shattering Hall Master gave him a feeling as ethereal as the sky, then the elder before him felt as solid as the earth itself.

The elder’s physical strength had already reached an unimaginable level.

Xiao Yi even felt that even the myriad laws of heaven and earth could not compare to a punch from the elder.

The elder’s frame, which didn’t appear as burly as the Hengtian Palace Master’s, seemed like an ancient high mountain spanning the skies.

"Xiao Yi, is it?" The elder’s tone was very serious.

No, accurately speaking, his entire being exuded an aura of seriousness.

Under that awe-inspiring visage, even just speaking plainly, he emanated an immense gravity.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Hm." The elder nodded, "You don’t need to participate in the inheritance. Go directly to the seclusion room instead."

"Hall Master, this..." The Hengtian Palace Master was taken aback.

A faint trace of admiration flashed across the stern face of the elder.

"A monster capable of comprehending the Silent Sky Sword Dao and obtaining the entire inheritance doesn’t need to waste time on other inheritances."

"It would be better to spend more time on cultivation."

"Hengtian." The elder looked at the Hengtian Palace Master, "You will oversee the inheritance activation of the remaining nine Heavenly Talents."

"Understood?"

"This..." The Hengtian Palace Master hesitated for a moment, glaring at Xiao Yi.

But eventually, he nodded, saying, "Yes."

The Hengtian Palace Master left.

At the scene, only the elder and Xiao Yi remained.

Similarly, Xiao Yi felt entirely uneasy.

However, compared to when he first met the Wind Shattering Hall Master, he was much more composed now.

"Not bad." The elder gazed at Xiao Yi, nodding with a look of approval.

Soon after, the elder’s expression shifted back from one of admiration to his usual solemn demeanor.

"The Wind Shattering Hall has already sent over your files to me."

"There is no need to test your talent any further."

"Next, extend your hand."

"The Master of the Main Hall intends to..." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment.

The elder interrupted, "If you don’t mind, I’d like to examine your internal condition."

Xiao Yi hesitated, making no move.

The body of a Martial Artist is their own secret, and it’s impossible to let outsiders inspect it lightly.

The elder frowned slightly, "If I can’t examine your physical condition, how can I understand what kind of body cultivation skill you’re practicing to give you the inheritance?"

As he spoke, the elder lightly tapped his finger.

In the air, a hazy glow shimmered.

One by one, books of Cultivation Technique appeared out of thin air.

"Never mind." The elder said seriously, "Since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you."

"You know your own body best."

"Choose one for yourself, then head to the seclusion room; the seclusion room is already prepared with cultivation items."

With that said, the elder turned and left.

Suddenly, the elder paused in his steps, "Oh, and come find me once you’ve finished your seclusion."

After speaking, the elder walked off without further ado.

Xiao Yi stood in place, bowing slightly as a respectful gesture.

Then, he looked toward the floating collection of books in the air.

The ancient aura emitted by the books was a testament to their rarity.

Giving the collection a quick glance, Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Each Cultivation Technique here, no matter which, was above the holy-grade pinnacle.

Even the weakest body cultivation skill surpassed the Thunder Gang Battle Body.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

After about ten minutes, Xiao Yi selected a Cultivation Technique.

At the moment he picked up a book.

With a gust... the remaining books in the air all transformed into wispy clouds and vanished. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
