BOOM!

In the middle of the air, the unfurled Dao manual suddenly trembled and then showed signs of slowly closing.

Below, three people with different emotions were watching this scene. Their expressions had also changed. This was because there was still no fluctuation coming from that scroll.

"Big brother Cang Yun, you've failed?" Zhou Xian`er's beautiful eyes dimmed, and the anticipation in her heart slowly faded away as the scroll closed.

Weng! *

However, just as his voice faded, the closed Dao Volume suddenly emitted a buzzing sound. Immediately, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a green-clothed young man walked out with a gentle smile on his face.

The three of them were stunned when they saw this. Only when that warm smile approached their eyes did they regain their senses.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." After Cang Yun landed on the ground, he smiled slightly at the three people in front of him and said.

"Phew …" Big Brother Cang Yun has always been like this, to be warned and warned. " Zhou Xian`er pouted coquettishly. However, that smile on his face was like a blooming spring flower, causing one's heart to be filled with warmth.

"Hmph, what a lucky guy." Seeing Cang Yun come out at the last moment, he understood that the reward mentioned by the old man had no fate with him. Although he was unwilling to admit it, in his heart, he understood that this youth who had caused him so much distress was indeed much more talented than him.

Hearing this, Cang Yun scratched his head and smiled apologetically to Zhou Xian'er. As for Zhou Jun, he naturally wouldn't care too much about him.

"Haha, not bad. I am very satisfied with this exam."

As the few of them conversed, the scroll finally completely closed. At the same time, the old man with the spirit of the ancient pagoda once again appeared.

"Greetings, senior."

The few people respectfully bowed. They had all seen the old man's methods and temper, so they naturally did not dare to offend him in the slightest.

The old man nodded his head in satisfaction before his gaze landed on Cang Yun, "Kid, you have fulfilled my requirements for this trial. Therefore, according to the agreement before, I will give you an additional reward."

After all, that was his own choice, and he had nothing to say. Moreover, he also knew that he had high expectations for this trial, and would not take risks that had nothing to do with it.

"Thank you, senior." Cang Yun smiled and bowed to the old man.

Weng! *

In the next moment, the old man extended a finger and a resplendent beam of light shot out from his finger and entered between Cang Yun's eyebrows.

In an instant, a large amount of information filled up Cang Yun's mind. Seeing this, Cang Yun hurriedly retracted his consciousness, slightly closed his eyes and began to organize the chaotic information.

It was only after the time it took to drink a cup of tea did Cang Yun open his eyes.

"Thank you, senior." A flash of excitement passed through Cang Yun's eyes as he bowed to thank the old man once more.

"No need. I've tinkered with this thing for many years and I haven't managed to create a proper appearance. If you can successfully refine it, that would be a good thing as well." The old man waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Cang Yun nodded with a smile and did not say anything else.

"Alright, next is the eighth level of the trial." The old man swept everyone with his gaze, then waved his hand, and a pathway that led to the eighth level appeared within the space.

Everyone looked over. At the entrance of the passageway, there was a large net formed by blood-red threads, sealing up the entire entrance.

"I'm sure all of you know something before you come here. It is the bloodline restriction that the old man left behind back then." The old man stared at the blood coloured thread and explained to the crowd. After which, he looked towards Zhou Xian'er and said: "Little girl, it's your turn to appear on stage."

Hearing this, Zhou Xian'er nodded her head and with a movement of her body, she landed in front of the blood-colored restriction. After taking in a deep breath, her slender palm immediately landed on the restriction.

BOOM!

In an instant, the entire space trembled. Under the gazes of the crowd, the restrictions formed by the blood-colored threads shattered inch by inch, before finally revealing an empty tunnel.

Seeing this, the elder stroked his beard and said: "The ninth floor is the true inheritance site and there is only one person who can enter. Therefore, the content of the eighth floor is very simple. Only one can stay."

"Of course, those who are unwilling to fight can give up on their own. Let's begin now!"

Once he finished speaking, the old man's figure also disappeared with his voice.

Cang Yun and the other three looked at each other, and after a moment, Zhou Xian'er revealed a resolute expression, and took the lead to rush into the passageway.

Based on her nature, she wasn't really that enthusiastic about the inheritance. However, she was the one who had the most hopes of succeeding. For the Zhou family's thousands of years of hope, she was duty-bound.

Just as his figure entered the passageway, Zhou Jun could no longer hold himself back and followed behind.

Seeing this, Cang Yun frowned and followed suit with quick steps. He would definitely not let Zhou Xian'er face that fellow alone.

"Looks like there's going to be another good show to watch." Zhou An, who was left last, revealed an expectant smile before he too drilled into the passageway.

At this moment, on the plaza behind the Zhou clan's mountain, the entire plaza descended into an excited mood when they saw the speck of light within the hologram.

"After so many years, the seal has finally been broken. There's hope for the legacy." A Zhou clan elder exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right, the time for our Zhou family to be revived has finally come." Beside him, the other clan elders were also extremely excited.

However, compared to the excitement of the crowd, Zhou Xian'er's father, Zhou Hao, only had a short moment of pleasant surprise before she started to frown. Doubt and contemplation appeared in her eyes.

This scene was also seen by one of the elders. He immediately asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sector Lord?"

"Didn't you notice anything abnormal?" Hearing this, Zhou Hao retorted with a question. Under the puzzled gaze of the crowd, he explained: "According to the records, only those with the same physique as the ancestors could enter that restriction. But now …"

Zhou Hao did not finish his sentence. However, everyone looked thoughtfully at the light curtain once again. When they saw four flickering light spots, they finally came to a realization.

"Perhaps …" The records are not accurate, right? " A clan elder tried to probe.

When they heard this, most of them nodded their heads in agreement. After all, those records were too far away and it was normal for some errors to occur.

"Maybe." Zhou Hao replied. However, the contemplative look on his face did not disappear. Instinctively, he felt that this was not the case.

Seeing that, the Great Elder, who had not spoken since the start, suddenly spoke, "Sector Lord, why do you need to be like this? With so many people entering, wouldn't the chances of passing down the inheritance also increase? You should be happy."

"I hope so." Zhou Hao faintly nodded his head. The comforting words of the people beside him actually caused him to feel extremely worried. This was because the matter he was most worried about had still happened.

In the next moment, her gaze was fixated on the screen of light. She was secretly praying that nothing would happen to Xian'Er …

Just like Zhou Hao and the rest, there was also a person in the ancient tower who was closely observing the situation within the trial. After Cang Yun and the rest entered the eighth level of the trial, a faint smile appeared on his aged face.

"Originally, only those with the 'True Phoenix' physique will be able to enter this stage. However, I have changed the rules this time around." The old man's gaze passed through space and swept over the four people present. After which, it was fixed onto Cang Yun. He smiled with some anticipation as he said, "After all, only by doing this can I see just what level this little girl has reached."

In the space within the eighth level of the Refinement Grounds, no one was aware of the old man's plans. Cang Yun stepped into the space, cautiously glancing at Zhou Jun before he quickly walked to the side of Zhou Xian`er.

"Big Brother Cang Yun, thank you." Zhou Xian'er naturally understood Cang Yun's intentions. A look of gratitude flashed past her eyes as she replied.

Cang Yun smiled and said, "Why are you talking about this? Can I not care about your matters? Besides, I promised Uncle Zhou."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhou Xian`er's face as she nodded her head before quickly restraining herself. She knew that this was not the time to continue talking about this.

"Heh, everyone is here. It would seem that everyone has quite some thoughts about this inheritance, no?" After Zhou An walked out from the passageway, Zhou Jun said with a faint smile on his face.

"Then you're wrong, I'm not." Cang Yun took a step forward, staring at Zhou Jun with a faint smile on his face. "I'm just here to help."

"Help?" Zhou Jun's eyes narrowed. His gaze landed on Zhou Xian'er, who was behind Cang Yun. She immediately understood and laughed coldly, "This is quite a righteous reason."

Cang Yun shrugged his shoulders, "It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. The answer will come soon anyway."

Zhou Jun snorted disdainfully, then shifted his gaze to Zhou An, who had just walked out of the tunnel.

"What about you?" Zhou Jun revealed a serious expression. Compared to Cang Yun and the other two, Zhou An was the person he feared the most.

Hearing that, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Zhou An's calm face. He said, "If I were to tell you that I am not interested in that inheritance, would you believe me?"

With these words coupled with that brilliant smile, Zhou Jun could faintly read a hint of ridicule within those words, causing his gaze to turn even colder.

"I believe you," Zhou Jun said with a sneer on his face. "What the hell!"

"You are very humorous."

However, Zhou An didn't seem to care at all about Zhou Jun's attitude. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and said, as he had done with Cang Yun.

"But, believe it or not, I'm really just here to watch a show."
