Chapter 179 118, this is cheating! _2
Mu Qianyan closed her eyes, her expression indifferent, and said nothing.
She was equally baffled now.
Not to mention him, she also had no idea what was going on.
"Cheating! This is blatant cheating! It was agreed that the eight sects would compete together, how can you do this?"
His grievance was extreme.
The rims of his eyes reddened, nearly unable to control himself.
"Just look at that disciple, he simply passed the test ahead of time."
The palace master of Qiushui Shengong glanced at him and said lightly, "In other words, he also passed the 'Asking the Heart' test before he went in, so it's not cheating."
She knew that the Confucian-Mo Pavilion and the Heavenly Dao Sect had always been at odds. If he had accused anyone else, she wouldn't have bothered to speak out.
But the person he named was Xu Yuan, and if Tian Liuli found out she hadn't spoken up after coming out, it would inevitably leave her somewhat dissatisfied.
"This isn't considered cheating?!"
The scholar's eyes widened.
"After all, from the beginning the Heavenly Dao Sect had chosen the Snow Emperor; any transactions between them are quite normal."
The beautiful woman slightly parted her red lips and said, "It's our fault for not having the foresight."
"Indeed, since they placed the right bets, gaining some benefits is naturally justified."
In the eyes of everyone, the normally neutral Tower Master of Heavenly Machine Tower, Chu Bingyan, also rarely spoke out.
"..."
After hearing these words, the sect leaders who were originally somewhat eager, also quenched their thoughts.
After hearing these words, Lan Mei's gaze was somewhat dull, staring blankly at the indifferent Jing Lixue.
No wonder, she initially really thought Jing Lixue had some romantic feelings for Xu Yuan. Now it seemed, it was probably just an act from a prior agreement.
But was there any need for even her to be kept in the dark?
Mu Qianyan also felt somewhat gloomy after hearing their statements.
When had she and Jing Lixue agreed to all these things? Why wasn't she aware?
However, since everyone else could accept this explanation, she had no need to interfere any further.
...
Spiritual power vast as the sea converged in this space; with every breath, she could clearly perceive the cultivation within her Dantian growing incessantly, filling her with joy.
To cultivate here for one day was not an exaggeration to say, it equated to the results of ten years of cultivation in the outside world.
No wonder the eight top sects had been eyeing Dawn City covetously.
Apart from the blessings the Four Divine Beasts Formation could bring to the cultivators, the benefits of this inheritance space could not be underestimated.
Xu Yuan suppressed the urge to cultivate here and moved forward with extreme speed.
Soon, at the end of his sight, a giant stone tablet slowly emerged.
When he approached, Xu Yuan realized that the giant stone tablet was not the boundary marker he had imagined, but a tombstone.
"I am Jingyang Tian, the first Divine Emperor. I leave the inheritance here, all descendants of the royal family must remember—gather the world's Spiritual Energy, focus it at the dawn, weaken the cultivators, to protect the Four Divine Formation, to weaken the people under heaven, only thus can the Jing Dynasty's eternal legacy continue."
Not only Xu Yuan, but even the group of powerhouses outside watching the carvings all trembled involuntarily when they saw the inscription on the tombstone.
Jingyang Tian.
The first Divine Emperor of the human race.
It was rumored that he personally advocated and established the Four Divine Beasts Formation, but no one had expected that the formation had such a purpose.
"It can protect against demons from the outside and weaken the sects from the inside, what a Divine Emperor, what a Four Divine Beasts Formation."
The scholar from the Confucian-Mo Pavilion trembled, his eyes reddening: "No wonder the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth has been so noticeably weakening over the years, it turns out it was you successive Divine Emperors who have been meddling."
Jing Lixue remained calm and composed: "You can't make accusations without evidence. Look at the concentration of Spiritual Energy in that space; it can't contain so much of the lost energy over the years."
"Let's continue watching."
Chu Bingyan spoke coldly, stopping him from continuing.
At this moment, aside from Xu Yuan, no one else had successfully passed the test.
In the inheritance space, Xu Yuan's gaze flickered slightly as he pondered.
"The first Divine Emperor's inheritance... I remember according to the rules of the Four Divine Beasts Formation, to gain a complete inheritance, one needs at least the heritage marks and acknowledgement of four Divine Emperors each wielding different arrays, and from the words left by the first Divine Emperor, it's not hard to see that he likely wielded the Azure Dragon Formation mark."
Xu Yuan hesitated.
From the words left by the first Divine Emperor, it was not hard to see his determination to protect the Great Scenic Dynasty, such a person might have set some conditions in the inheritance that might be unfavorable to outsiders like them.
However, time was pressing, he had no choice but to make a decision.

Using his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, after confirming there were no other Divine Emperor's shadows around, he without much hesitation, decided to place his hand on the stone tablet.
Although he couldn't see anyone else present, he couldn't guarantee that this inheritance space didn't operate on random teleportation, so he must seize the opportunity accordingly.
The moment he placed his palm on the stone tablet, the surface of the stone suddenly rippled.
Suddenly, his entire being was swallowed by the surface of the stone tablet.
A pitch blackness.
When a strand of Spiritual Fire illuminated the surroundings, arrows charged with Spiritual Power instantly shot out like sharks smelling blood, hissing through the air towards him.
