"How is this possible?"
"Our combined attacks can't even make a dent here?"
The other Martial Saints found it unbelievable.
Even a quasi-Martial Emperor wouldn't have been able to withstand their joint strike.
How could this barrier remain completely unaffected?
Lu Chen refused to accept this,
leading the other Martial Saints in another assault on the already cracked barrier.
The space within wasn't large - a single glance revealed nothing but desolation,
apparently untouched for countless years!
Apart from a golden stone pillar standing at the center of the space,
from which all the strange phenomena originated.
The circular golden pillar was extremely tall,
reaching dozens of zhang high,
requiring several people to link arms to encircle it completely.
a golden dragon coiled upwards,
surrounded by multiple golden phoenixes in various poses guarding the dragon.
Long Yuan circled the golden pillar carefully,
but aside from these carvings,
there was nothing else on the massive golden column.
"An inheritance? Or some divine weapon?"
Long Yuan extended his divine sense into the golden pillar,
only to find complete chaos within,
discovering absolutely nothing.
"Strange, there's no inheritance here?"
"And it's not some divine weapon either!"
This left Long Yuan baffled.
then what could be causing such terrifying phenomena?
At this moment, Chu Tianyang and the others arrived shortly after,
but after thorough examination, they similarly found nothing.
"Could it be that the opportunity isn't here, but hidden elsewhere?"
Chu Tianyang wondered aloud,
just like the stone tablet they'd discovered in the underground world of the Nine Heavens Mountain Range, concealed within space itself!
Long Yuan shook his head: "I've already sensed it - there's nothing in this space except this pillar!"
There was another possibility -
that the object was hidden so deeply
his current cultivation couldn't detect it.
Just as everyone was puzzling over this,
Chu Long approached the pillar
and curiously placed his hand on the golden stone column.
a resounding dragon roar echoed
accompanied by clear phoenix cries that reverberated throughout the space.
The golden dragon carved on the pillar suddenly opened its eyes,
its golden gaze instantly falling upon Chu Long.
Chu Tianyang exclaimed in alarm,
unsure what was happening.
Thinking Chu Long might be in danger, he immediately moved to intervene.
But a force restrained him, freezing him in place -
it was Long Yuan's doing.
"Perhaps he has a connection with this object!"
After studying it for so long without results,
the boy merely touched it lightly and triggered phenomena - wasn't this proof of fate?
[Cultivator]: Chu Long
[Cultivation Realm]: Late-stage Second-Tier Martial Warrior
[Body Refinement]: Peak First-Tier Martial Warrior
[Identity]: Chu Family Member
Long Yuan frowned slightly.
This guy wasn't special in any way,
so why did the golden pillar react to him?
Moreover, just looking at him showed he was completely drained,
with severely depleted essence, energy and spirit.
How could someone trigger the pillar's reaction?
This defied all reason!
Besides, wasn't this supposed to be a dragon clan inheritance?
Even he couldn't provoke a reaction,
so why would it respond to some pleasure-seeking wastrel?
Long Yuan was utterly perplexed.
Chu Long's figure suddenly vanished,
though Long Yuan clearly saw
the boy being sucked into the golden divine dragon's pupil.
Chu Tianyang cried anxiously.
Though Chu Long was constantly indulging in pleasures,
he was still a junior of their Chu family!
"Don't worry. He was likely drawn inside this pillar - perhaps this is an opportunity,"
Long Yuan said calmly.
But when he extended his divine sense into the pillar again,
he still found only chaos,
with no trace of Chu Long.
This astonished Long Yuan.
"Perhaps this pillar's level is extraordinarily high, beyond what my current cultivation can comprehend!"
"You may all try touching the pillar to see if it provokes any reaction."
Subsequently, Chu Tianyang and the Valley of a Hundred Flowers members all took turns trying,
but none could elicit any response.
"It seems you have no connection with the opportunity here,"
Long Yuan shook his head.
such chances only come to those destined for them.
Without that destiny,
forcing it is impossible.
"That little rascal Chu Long is just a lecher, constantly drowning in pleasures!"
"Humph! On the way here, that little bastard actually told me he'd invented dozens of different positions, asking if I wanted him to teach me for free!"
Chu Tianyang's face darkened.
Chu Long was indeed a little pervert,
never focusing on cultivation, his mind always on his wives and concubines!
No wonder his grandfather disciplined him so severely -
if anything, it wasn't harsh enough.
He'd make sure the old man continued the lessons after they returned.
"Hahaha, not necessarily! Maybe this inheritance needs someone like him?"
Long Yuan laughed heartily.
"Impossible! What kind of inheritance would be blind enough to choose someone like him?"
Chu Tianyang shook his head.
"Senior shouldn't forget - this is the Harmony Sect's territory!"
"Perhaps this inheritance was the Harmony Sect's ultimate treasure in ancient times?"
A Valley of a Hundred Flowers elder reminded.
Chu Tianyang's forehead creased with worry.
Harmony Sect inheritance?
That was no good legacy!
If that brat really obtained Harmony Sect techniques, who knew how many female martial artists would suffer?
"Senior needn't worry. I've heard the ancient Harmony Sect was an orthodox sect - their dual cultivation methods differed greatly from current ones. Back then, many female cultivators competed fiercely to become Harmony disciples' partners!"
"It was only over time that they lost their orthodox inheritance, gradually descending into their current depraved path,"
the Valley elder explained.
She'd learned this from Matriarch Qiu Min.
the matriarch had no reason to lie.
"If it's orthodox dual cultivation, fine. But if it's the kind of demonic technique that uses partners as furnaces to drain their cultivation, then we absolutely cannot let him practice it!"
Chu Tianyang said gravely.
the Harmony Sect's reputation was utterly foul -
truly stopping at nothing in pursuit of power!
Meanwhile, Chu Long found himself in a strange space
facing exactly 108 vivid spring palace illustrations!
Seeing these exquisitely detailed, wildly varied positions,
he realized his own "inventions" were utterly insignificant.
He couldn't help but exclaim,
rubbing his hands excitedly,
as if discovering a whole new world. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel•fire.net
Just as excitement made his blood tremble,
alluring figures began emerging from the walls,
dressed in seductively sheer gowns,
approaching him with swaying steps.
"Young master, please practice dual cultivation with us~"
Hot whispers sounded by Chu Long's ears,
immediately setting his entire being aflame.
