After the restriction of not fighting was laid, no one even had thoughts of it. They all gathered into their own teams and went to the circular formation.
Ling Chen walked towards Sheng Tian with Qin Qing and Liu feifei by his side. From Qin Qing's odd behavior, Sheng Tian instantly commented inside his mind " a damsel turning into a retard. 101 ways to turn into a fool."
Unknowingly, Leng Yue Yan came and stood next to him. Sheng Tian was a bit stunned looking at why this Cold Beauty was acting like he was a chick magnet. He didn't think that she fell in love with him. He knew that girls like her had something called "Pride" which they would not give up even if they are threatened to be killed.
The only other reason he could think of was that she might have been charmed to craziness by him. Surprisingly, he found this to be more logical and rational. After all, there are many people who stand before Mt. Tai and not recognize it. Maybe, she is one of the few people who can see things as they are. He couldn't help be realistic.
If Leng Yue Yan knew his thoughts, she would definitely roll her eyes at him. The reason she came to his side was to greet Qin Qing as she was coming this way and a little bit because she was interested in his philosophy and history. As for being charmed, Hmph. In your dreams!
Gu Song and Duan Han also came to the group but no one even bothered greeting them. The Duo too didn't try to talk to Qin Qing like they usually would. After knowing Ling Chen's identity as the disciple of Sacred Sword Sect, they felt that he would likely have a powerful master. They didn't wish to put themselves against a sect.
So, they shifted their eyes and saw the Mystic Ice Sect twin sisters. Their eyes brightened like monks who found their calling in life. They vowed to court the maiden sisters with all their hearts.
After perfunctory greetings, they made their way to the circular formation on the stage. There were 30 small circles around the Formation. Everyone already knew the procedure and sat down crosslegged.
The pillar at the core of the Circular formation started to shine, its brightness increasing with each second as it slowly turned from light blue to dark red. Everyone had their eyes closed as they tried to connect their consciousness to the pillar.
Sheng Tian silently opened his eyes to peek at the tower and saw the color transformation, then he quickly closed his eyes.
Soon, he felt his consciousness connect to something. It was then soon pulled in. Sheng Tian saw himself being taken into a huge hall. On its huge wall, there are twenty inheritance divisions, dividing the wall into twenty parts. The twenty parts are not equal, some large, some small.
Sheng Tian found himself standing before the wall. Then the same ancient voice started its commentary "Young Man, choose the trial you wish. But I must warn you, the trials which have larger engravings are harder than others. And you can only lose three times before you are thrown out."
Sheng Tian nodded his head lightly. Then he was left there to chose. The twenty sections of the wall each representing their own owners with symbols of Sword, Spear, Ox, Eagle, etc, etc. He was disappointed.
But then again, it's not logical to expect anything groundbreaking from mortals who died like any other person in this world. They are not even divine cultivators. It's not like he would get to see a Mythical God's Legacy every other day.
Sheng Tian nonchalantly looked at the inscriptions on the walls:
Sword Tyrant: An OverLord who roamed the World unfettered with a sword in hand. One Sword, One Life. The techniques focus on the way of Tyrant. They are extremely overbearing and strong.
Lone Eagle: An OverLord who was praised to be the genius of his generation. When he uses his claws, it ends with only one result: Death. And the techniques he cultivated include the flight attacks which a cultivator can use to prey his target like an Eagle in the sky. The flying attacks are very difficult to retaliate and are unique.
Spear Lord: An OverLord who shook the Whole Continent with his might. His Spear techniques are self-created and use 'speed' as the base. It is said that once Spear Lord makes his move, the masses are massacred, the land is flooded with blood and the lives lose their significance.
....
....
....
After finishing reading all the names on the wall, Sheng Tian was a bit speechless. They are just overlords. Even if he is not an overlord, he saw the powers of beings which stand above an OverLord.
So, why do these words sound so proud?
Sheng Tian was thinking from a larger perspective which didn't put the cultivators of the continent in his eyes. That's why he found these claims and descriptions to be exaggerated. But How many OverLords are present on the continent? Even 1 person in 1000 is undermining the rarity of Emperor Profound Realm experts, not to mention OverLords who are much rarer than Emperor Realm experts.
So, these people have all the rights in the world to brag, but only before the ones who admire them.
Before entering this place, Xiao Lian who is the self-proclaimed teacher of Sheng Tian said that he better not choose anything from here to learn. Otherwise, it would just be wasting time. Sheng Tian too agreed with her view.
Sheng Tian didn't want any of these crappy inheritances, he only wanted treasures. Him not wanting them doesn't mean others would feel the same.
Sheng Tian thought of this as he grinned. If they are not useful to him, then he is going to be an altruist and bring up the martial inheritances of this continent by giving these to people. Of course, he wouldn't allow them to be tainted by karma by giving them for free. Even if it pains him, he will reluctantly let them 'buy' with a sky-high price so that he is charging the fee for even the future generations and clearing their karma with a benevolence.
Sheng Tian suddenly felt like an enlightened buddha who descended on the world to relieve them from the worldly sufferings. The expression on his face was like an Amiable Monk.
He quickly picked an inheritance randomly and started the trial as the surrounding place suddenly changed. The trial began.
The Ancient voice sounded again. "This trial has two tests: Comprehension and Will. The first test 'Comprehension' begins now. You have to decipher the sword technique and comprehend it to a satisfactory degree in 2 hours to pass this test."
Sheng Tian glanced at the place he was transferred to. It was an open ground which looked like a battlefield. The ground was in faintly red and brown. In front of him was a stone with a Sword technique on it. It faintly emitted the way of the sword.
But it was only so for the Mortals. For someone like Xiao Lian who was in the Divine Way of Cultivation or Sheng Tian who had things which exceed Divine, this is a shitty display. Sheng Tian didn't cultivate purely in the way of the sword. But his understandings of the sword came from the Dark Sword Arts which he practiced and his own comprehension of it. So, he didn't see any point in learning this technique with numerous flaws.
Still, He could only look at it and read it to start comprehending it.
On Red Star continent, there are countless Profound Cultivation techniques, Profound Arts and Profound skills. Their value is decided on the potential, power, and speed. If the technique in front of him was left in the outside world, it could cause a blood bath in the lower echelons of power.
But nothing mattered before absolute skill as Sheng Tian casually comprehended the whole technique which described the way of Tyrant to use 'Sword.' It basically was meant to make the sword moves tyrannical thus leading more damage. It also ensures one would not be able to recover easily once wounded by it.
Once Sheng Tian comprehended it, the Stone Wall shone as it disintegrated. The Ancient Voice was shaking with disbelief as it said " You...You...Young Man, Well done. I am delighted to see such heaven-defying genius. I hope you inherit my mantle."
Sheng Tian felt another emotion from the Old Man's voice, it was desire. It was subtle yet Sheng Tian was sure that it reminded him of how a person who lusted wealth would speak after he won a lottery.
But that didn't stop the trial as Sheng Tian wished to obtain the manuals of these cultivation techniques and profound arts along with treasures. The second test was 'Will'.
"Young Man, I sincerely hope you pass this test. It is a test of your will power and talent. Don't lose for a quarter hour and you win."
Sheng Tian stood up but suddenly a Tyrannical Aura covered him pushing his feet down. The Aura was not just tyrannical, it was sharp. The air around him felt sharp like there are countless swords cutting it. Sheng Tian found himself in the middle of slicing air and pushing pressure.
He didn't know what to do. So, he didn't do anything. His Consciousness was very strong unlike what one would expect from his cultivation base. He didn't feel any discomfort even with the current condition.
Time passed as Shen Tian found himself standing aimlessly for 15 minutes already. He even began to feel sleepy. Just as he was about to sleep, the Ancient Voice snapped him out of drowsiness as it spoke " Well done, Young Man. You are a rare talent. The Sword Tyrant always wished to find a successor more tyrannical in the way of swords than him. Alas, the few lucky ones who inherited his path were not able to reach his height much less surpass it in tyranny. I hope you reach great heights."
"Hm..*Yawn*. Yes, Yes." Sheng Tian didn't hear anything but simply nodded his head.
The one behind the Ancient voice sadly could not see the visual and could only sense the results. So, it is bound to be a secret that he almost fell asleep during a test in the trial while others grit their teeth and clench their fist to change their destiny. What an irony!
Soon, Shen Tian heard the ancient voice say "You are rewarded with the highest level of the inheritance: 'The Tyrant Sword Technique, Tyrant Sword Insights Manual and a Sword which the Sword Tyrant found in an Ancient Ruin."
A smile formed on his face as space once again transformed to the Hall and he is standing before the twenty inheritance sources.
Then, he chooses the next one when everyone else was still struggling with the first test of their first trial.
***
Ling Chen was seriously comprehending the Sword Technique. In his previous life, this technique although held some value but just better than trash to him. His 'Legendary War God' cultivation technique was at a much higher level than these Over Lord techniques. But that didn't mean Over Lord techniques were trash. After the grade of his own cultivation technique, OverLord techniques were the best choice.
As he comprehended, he wondered how shocked Liu feifei would be when she saw his comprehension speed. Back in the day 50,000 years ago, He was called as the one with the best Cultivation talent and even better comprehension level. Faintly, he also thought of how Qin Qing would feel.
Maybe he didn't recognize this, but he already fell into the webs of a harem troupe protagonist who is usually referred to as a debauchee or Horny Idiot or Bad Pervert or in some extreme cases even as: Sexually depraved, morally lacking, psychologically retarded, human-like looking creature.
Alas, the Author already made his choice which sealed off his fate. ' _ '
Ling Chen didn't know that an MC with a comprehension speed that logically makes no sense is finishing his fourth trial. If he knew, then the Author is not sure whether he would die by coughing up blood due to envy or die from a brain shock.
***
A good amount of time passed as Sheng Tian finally opened his eyes. He saw a huge circular formation and a shining red pillar in front.
Out of the 29 members, no one else woke up yet. The ones talented enough to finish one trial took another trial and the rest were still struggling in a single trial.
Sheng Tian, still sitting waved his hands as he saw twenty books appear on his lap. One look and you could tell that they are very old. These were the highest level of inheritances, the physical copies of the inheritances. Also, they gave him some other treasures which were deemed 'precious' by the ones who left the trial. And there were still the insights and some profound techniques too.
There were only a limited number of physical copies of each of the manual of the cultivation techniques and profound arts. So, the ones to obtain them should also be of the highest eligibility.
It is not possible to make a manual identical to the ones he had just by copying the contents. Because the manual when written was infused with the insights and comprehensions. In other words, the book itself is the parcel and product of the Cultivation technique and not just a medium to transmit information.
For example, in the Tyrant Sword Way: When one reads the manual, they would be able to feel the tyranny of the Sword in its sharpness. In the Lone Eagle Technique, the reader could feel the loneliness and pride of a cultivator who practices this technique which is essential for anyone to grasp the technique correctly and quickly.
Sheng Tian took out the treasures he obtained next: An Ancient Red Sword, A Long Spear, An eagle armor,...etc.
Sheng Tian was grinning from ear to ear feeling that the trip was not wasted. He took the Red Sword and examined it. He was someone who uses Sword. Not for any other reason, because he just felt like it.
The Red sword was double-edged, 90 cm tall with a width of half a finger weighing more than 2 kgs. Its blade looked like it was soaked with blood due to its blood-red color. It had a black colored guard and handle. There were some runes on its blade and handle which he didn't understand a single bit except that it could be awesome. According to the Old Fart: the ancient voice, This Sword is something the Sword Tyrant acquired through luck and hard work. Regrettably, it didn't resonate with him. Meaning he was not worthy enough to be its master and could only be its carrier.
Sheng Tian wielded it and a light buzz came. It was light but nonetheless real. This meant the sword accepted him as its master willingly.
Sheng Tian had a really smug look on his face when he realized that he is now the master of a supposed greatsword. If the Sword Tyrant's soul was still present, Sheng Tian wouldn't waste a second before going to him and brag with all the words he knew. Who knew maybe even in the soul form, the Sword Tyrant might cough up blood and die. But now, it's good that he is dead. Aii, He can be at peace.

Ling Chen walked towards Sheng Tian with Qin Qing and Liu feifei by his side. From Qin Qing's odd behavior, Sheng Tian instantly commented inside his mind " a damsel turning into a retard. 101 ways to turn into a fool."

For someone like Xiao Lian who was in the Divine Way of Cultivation or Sheng Tian who had things which exceed Divine, this is a shitty display. Sheng Tian didn't cultivate purely in the way of the sword. But his understandings of the sword came from the Dark Sword Arts which he practiced and his own comprehension of it. So, he didn't see any point in learning this technique with numerous flaws.Still, He could only look at it and read it to start comprehending it.On Red Star continent, there are countless Profound Cultivation techniques, Profound Arts and Profound skills. Their value is decided on the potential, power, and speed. If the technique in front of him was left in the outside world, it could cause a blood bath in the lower echelons of power.But nothing mattered before absolute skill as Sheng Tian casually comprehended the whole technique which described the way of Tyrant to use 'Sword.' It basically was meant to make the sword moves tyrannical thus leading more damage. It also ensures one would not be able to recover easily once wounded by it.Once Sheng Tian comprehended it, the Stone Wall shone as it disintegrated. The Ancient Voice was shaking with disbelief as it said " You...You...Young Man, Well done. I am delighted to see such heaven-defying genius. I hope you inherit my mantle."Sheng Tian felt another emotion from the Old Man's voice, it was desire. It was subtle yet Sheng Tian was sure that it reminded him of how a person who lusted wealth would speak after he won a lottery.But that didn't stop the trial as Sheng Tian wished to obtain the manuals of these cultivation techniques and profound arts along with treasures. The second test was 'Will'."Young Man, I sincerely hope you pass this test. It is a test of your will power and talent. Don't lose for a quarter hour and you win."Sheng Tian stood up but suddenly a Tyrannical Aura covered him pushing his feet down. The Aura was not just tyrannical, it was sharp. The air around him felt sharp like there are countless swords cutting it. Sheng Tian found himself in the middle of slicing air and pushing pressure.He didn't know what to do. So, he didn't do anything. His Consciousness was very strong unlike what one would expect from his cultivation base. He didn't feel any discomfort even with the current condition.Time passed as Shen Tian found himself standing aimlessly for 15 minutes already. He even began to feel sleepy. Just as he was about to sleep, the Ancient Voice snapped him out of drowsiness as it spoke " Well done, Young Man. You are a rare talent. The Sword Tyrant always wished to find a successor more tyrannical in the way of swords than him. Alas, the few lucky ones who inherited his path were not able to reach his height much less surpass it in tyranny. I hope you reach great heights.""Hm..*Yawn*. Yes, Yes." Sheng Tian didn't hear anything but simply nodded his head.The one behind the Ancient voice sadly could not see the visual and could only sense the results. So, it is bound to be a secret that he almost fell asleep during a test in the trial while others grit their teeth and clench their fist to change their destiny. What an irony!Soon, Shen Tian heard the ancient voice say "You are rewarded with the highest level of the inheritance: 'The Tyrant Sword Technique, Tyrant Sword Insights Manual and a Sword which the Sword Tyrant found in an Ancient Ruin."A smile formed on his face as space once again transformed to the Hall and he is standing before the twenty inheritance sources.Then, he chooses the next one when everyone else was still struggling with the first test of their first trial.***Ling Chen was seriously comprehending the Sword Technique. In his previous life, this technique although held some value but just better than trash to him. His 'Legendary War God' cultivation technique was at a much higher level than these Over Lord techniques. But that didn't mean Over Lord techniques were trash. After the grade of his own cultivation technique, OverLord techniques were the best choice.As he comprehended, he wondered how shocked Liu feifei would be when she saw his comprehension speed. Back in the day 50,000 years ago, He was called as the one with the best Cultivation talent and even better comprehension level. Faintly, he also thought of how Qin Qing would feel.Maybe he didn't recognize this, but he already fell into the webs of a harem troupe protagonist who is usually referred to as a debauchee or Horny Idiot or Bad Pervert or in some extreme cases even as: Sexually depraved, morally lacking, psychologically retarded, human-like looking creature.Alas, the Author already made his choice which sealed off his fate. ' _ 'Ling Chen didn't know that an MC with a comprehension speed that logically makes no sense is finishing his fourth trial. If he knew, then the Author is not sure whether he would die by coughing up blood due to envy or die from a brain shock.***A good amount of time passed as Sheng Tian finally opened his eyes. He saw a huge circular formation and a shining red pillar in front.Out of the 29 members, no one else woke up yet. The ones talented enough to finish one trial took another trial and the rest were still struggling in a single trial.Sheng Tian, still sitting waved his hands as he saw twenty books appear on his lap. One look and you could tell that they are very old. These were the highest level of inheritances, the physical copies of the inheritances. Also, they gave him some other treasures which were deemed 'precious' by the ones who left the trial. And there were still the insights and some profound techniques too.There were only a limited number of physical copies of each of the manual of the cultivation techniques and profound arts. So, the ones to obtain them should also be of the highest eligibility.It is not possible to make a manual identical to the ones he had just by copying the contents. Because the manual when written was infused with the insights and comprehensions. In other words, the book itself is the parcel and product of the Cultivation technique and not just a medium to transmit information.For example, in the Tyrant Sword Way: When one reads the manual, they would be able to feel the tyranny of the Sword in its sharpness. In the Lone Eagle Technique, the reader could feel the loneliness and pride of a cultivator who practices this technique which is essential for anyone to grasp the technique correctly and quickly.Sheng Tian took out the treasures he obtained next: An Ancient Red Sword, A Long Spear, An eagle armor,...etc.Sheng Tian was grinning from ear to ear feeling that the trip was not wasted. He took the Red Sword and examined it. He was someone who uses Sword. Not for any other reason, because he just felt like it.The Red sword was double-edged, 90 cm tall with a width of half a finger weighing more than 2 kgs. Its blade looked like it was soaked with blood due to its blood-red color. It had a black colored guard and handle. There were some runes on its blade and handle which he didn't understand a single bit except that it could be awesome. According to the Old Fart: the ancient voice, This Sword is something the Sword Tyrant acquired through luck and hard work. Regrettably, it didn't resonate with him. Meaning he was not worthy enough to be its master and could only be its carrier.Sheng Tian wielded it and a light buzz came. It was light but nonetheless real. This meant the sword accepted him as its master willingly.Sheng Tian had a really smug look on his face when he realized that he is now the master of a supposed greatsword. If the Sword Tyrant's soul was still present, Sheng Tian wouldn't waste a second before going to him and brag with all the words he knew. Who knew maybe even in the soul form, the Sword Tyrant might cough up blood and die. But now, it's good that he is dead. Aii, He can be at peace.
