At this moment.

The Qingyuan Sect undoubtedly became the most dazzling presence in Ziyang Prefecture, with the glow almost overshadowing the bright moon in the sky.

Ziyang Prefecture City.

In an ancient-styled room.

An old man dressed in luxurious clothes had his feet warmed by two young maidservants, when he suddenly noticed the color of the window screen changing.

He slowly got up and asked:

"Why is the glow outside so dazzling?"

"Reporting to the Lord, it's coming from the direction of the Qingyuan Sect."

"Qingyuan..."

The old man pondered for a moment, his expression shifting several times.

"Write a letter, inviting Elder Yin Hua from Rare Beast Peak for a discussion at the mansion."

"Yes..."

The Butler agreed, but seemed hesitant to speak further.

"Hmm? Speak if you have something to say."

"Princess Chu Long... she's missing."

After the Butler spoke, he was already sweating profusely, not daring to look at the expression of his master, the Lord of Ziyang Mansion.

After a while, a faint voice finally came:

"Search every corner, and bring her back."

"Yes."

.....

Biluo Lake.

A massive ship, as large as a mountain, lay across the river, almost as big as the surrounding islands.

A dark flag fluttered in the wind, with bold characters written in iron strokes:

[Red Whale]

The Red Whale Gang, one of the three sects in Ziyang Prefecture, was considered the weakest on the surface.

However, its members were a mix of all kinds, claiming to have a hundred thousand followers, with countless underworld connections behind the scenes.

A burly bearded man stood at the bow of the ship, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

"Did the Qingyuan Sect discover an exotic treasure, or has some kind of legacy been activated?"

"Boss, I believe it's the latter."

Behind him, a clean-shaven young man spoke up.

For some reason.

The bearded man, leader of the Red Whale and an Outer Manifestation Realm expert, did not refute the young man's words.

"The Qingyuan Sect has a long history, and yet a legacy still emerges."

"Such a legacy must be extraordinary."

"Only a prodigy could be worthy of receiving it, perhaps someone with the potential to be on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

The bearded man said in a deep voice.

He had always wanted to elevate the Red Whale Gang under his leadership, to replace the Qingyuan Sect as the leader.

It was very possible.

Shangguan Wencang, after all, was already old.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"

"With me here, how can a mere Ziyang Prefecture produce a few geniuses that could surpass me?"

The young man in a red robe licked his lips.

"You are right, senior." The leader of the Red Whale's worries vanished from his eyes.

.....

Northern Underworld Region.

On an incredibly tall peak stood a towering structure, seemingly reaching the sky with a hundred floors.

Yantian Sect.

The renowned Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Heaven-Earth-Human Triple Rankings all originated from here.

At the top of the tower, on the star-gazing platform.

An old woman with a head full of gray hair maintained a posture of looking up at the sky, for an unknown amount of time.

Suddenly, her eyelid twitched, and her aged voice muttered to herself:

"It was supposed to be an anomaly of the Nine Heavens, with the Taiyin Star flourishing, so why is there chaos again?"

She took out a jade plate from her bosom, with countless small jade blocks the size of fingernails, slowly moving.

As she urged it, the speed of the jade blocks increased.

Suddenly, they abruptly stopped, and the entire jade plate dimmed.

Along with it, the old woman's complexion also darkened.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Calamitous... Calamitous..."

"Are you referring to the Calamitous Omen recorded by the ancestors?"

The old woman sighed deeply, her pale face appearing even older.

The beautiful young woman bit her lip, her heart in turmoil.

The Yantian Sect could foresee destiny, observe the rise and fall of the world, and even influence it.

This included the founding of Great Yu and the Martial Emperor's ascension.

The Calamitous Omen signified one thing.

The Yantian Sect would no longer be able to see the heavenly secrets.

"Master, the Crown Prince requests an audience."

Another disciple came forward to report.

"Tell him, I will not help him find Princess Chu Long, nor can I."

......

Qingyuan Sect.

With such a major event occurring, the sect trial was naturally terminated early.

Mainly, throughout the Qingyuan Mountain Range, wherever the glow reached, exotic beasts, regardless of their strength, fled in panic, some even trembling on the ground.

Continuing the sect trial would be meaningless.

At Moonview Cliff, a lean old man walked to the edge of the cliff.

Shangguan Wencang still wore his gray hemp robe, looking more like a neighborly old farmer than the head of a sect.

"Sect Master."

"Sect Master."

The elders snapped out of their shock.

"How long have Ying Bing and Li Mo been in Qingyuan?"

Shangguan Wencang asked softly.

"About two hours."

Xue Jing showed no sign of worry on his face:

"Sect Master, they should have entered a secret place within the Qingyuan Sect, and... likely already obtained the legacy."

"I... I also think so."

Han He's expression was quite remarkable.

It wasn't that Elder Han He lacked composure; the other elders' expressions were no calmer.

Since the founding of the Qingyuan Sect, no one had ever seen the true form of such an opportunity.

The glow illuminated the heavens and the earth.

Even they could hardly imagine this legacy!

The only question was who exactly obtained the opportunity...

Ying Bing?

Or...

"Hahaha, my precious disciple has really made me proud."

Shang Wu stood with her hands on her hips, her almond eyes reflecting the brilliant glow:

"If my disciple got the legacy, he'll definitely become the sect master in the future."

"When he becomes the sect master, I'll be the Grand Elder."

"Then I can spend the sect's money however I want."

"Heh heh... heh heh heh..."

Shang Wu wiped her mouth, extremely happy.

The elders: "..."

Miss, we still don't know who the legacy will fall to.

And our sect master is still alive, and you're already planning how to stir things up in the future?

If Shang Wu became the Grand Elder...

Everyone took a deep breath.

Qian Bufan said righteously, "The sect master needs to use the sect's resources, which requires the approval of the elders of each peak."

"I believe that young girl Ying Bing is more likely to have obtained the legacy," Elder Han He said.

The elder of Luoxia Peak also nodded, "That cry just now should have been female."

Shang Wu: "?"

You can tell the gender just by the sound?

Xue Jing couldn't help but laugh, "It's possible that both of them obtained the legacy."

The glow finally filled the entire Qingyuan.

The young man and woman stepped back onto Moonview Cliff.

Li Mo's smile was bright and satisfied.

Ying Bing's brow faintly glowed, adding a touch of sanctity to her already stunning appearance.

But...

Li Mo's smile was just too radiant.

For a moment, everyone couldn't tell who the opportunity had fallen to.

"The legacy?"

Shang Wu quickly approached Li Mo, looking him up and down, even sniffing him with her nose.

"It's not with me."

Li Mo spread his hands.

"Then why are you smiling?"

"???"

It's not with Li Mo?

Everyone turned their gaze to Ying Bing.

"Disciple indeed obtained a legacy, from a very ancient time."

Ying Bing nodded.

She knew the origin of the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix.

But in everyone's eyes, she should be receiving a legacy for the first time, not knowing its origin so well.

Of course, this didn't diminish the elders' shock.

Because of one word: ancient.

Revering the old and belittling the new is not advisable, for instance, techniques may be improved by later generations.

But a legacy is definitely more precious the older it is.

If it didn't have some significance, it would have long been lost to time, how could it have been passed down to now.

"Our Qingyuan Sect might produce a prodigy capable of making it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

"The history of Qingyuan is long and rich, yet countless have explored it to no avail. Who would have thought we'd see this legacy resurface in our lifetime."

"With such talent and great fortune, Ying Bing's future achievements are unimaginable!"

.....

Everyone couldn't hide their admiration and excitement.

Being regarded as a treasure by the elders.

Ying Bing herself bit her lip, instead looking towards the young man not far away.

Only to see him smiling even more happily.

[Congratulations to the host, for successfully investing in Ying Bing, granting her a major legacy in her life.]

[Would you like to claim the reward?]

Ice Block is being celebrated by everyone, while Li Mo isn't envious at all.

Because just now, he received feedback from the system on his investment.

If it weren't inconvenient now, he couldn't help but want to claim it immediately.

"I'll claim it when I get back... claim it when I get back..."

Li Mo rubbed his hands, eager to return to Autumn Water Pavilion.

At this moment, Shangguan Wencang finally spoke slowly:

"Alright, Ying Bing, your opportunity is yours to grasp, no need to discuss it with anyone."

"From today, Moonview Cliff is sealed off."
