Chapter Twenty-Five: The Change in Inheritance
If it's said that from the very beginning, only fifteen cultivators could enter the Transmission Cave Heaven, and in the room with the meditation mats, there were also fifteen bottles of elixirs as rewards. After climbing up the hundred-step stairs, fifteen small paths appeared, and now, fifteen giant stone warriors have appeared. If all this is just a coincidence, then it's too much of a coincidence.
Fang Tian Nan naturally thought of this, these should all be the elderly people who were left behind to pass on the legacy, deliberately arranged.
In a hall like this, with no way out in all directions, only seven cultivators have successfully arrived here. Wanting to face fifteen giant stone warriors and break through is obviously unrealistic. The strength of these giant stone warriors, Fang Tian Nan has not personally experienced, but just by looking at the previous desperation of Wu You, Li Tian Feng and others, he can guess it.
In the face of so many giant stone warriors' threats, Wu You could even suppress his anger towards Lie Tian Feng. It can be seen that these giant stone warriors' combat power is incredibly strong.
So, what did the elderly who left behind the legacy mean at first?
Unconsciously, Fang Tian Nan and his group had retreated to the center of the four pillars in the great hall. The giant stone warriors surrounding the crowd stopped uniformly outside the range surrounded by the four pillars.
"How come they're not moving again?" Yan Qing asked.
No one gave her an answer, except for the temporarily stabilized breathing of the crowd. At least, with fifteen different weapons all pointing at you, the pressure they brought was enough to make anyone present feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Perhaps our way out lies among these four pillars?" Wu You said with a somewhat fanciful tone.
"Sister, why don't you attack these four pillars and try?" Deng Baichuan suggested.
"Wait a minute..." It seemed that Wu You really had a few points of eagerness, Fang Tian Nan immediately spoke out to stop him, "These four pillars seem to be emitting a bit of strangeness, let's wait and see for now..."
At this moment, Fang Tian Nan vaguely felt that with the 15 giant stone warriors constantly approaching the four pillars in the hall, the two strange energies in the metal plate in his dantian were stirring again, as if preparing to break out once more.
。。。。。。
"When you each fought against these giant stone warriors, did you notice if there were any differences in their fighting styles, aside from the differences in their weapons?" Fang Tian Nan suddenly asked Wang Zi You and Deng Bai Chuan. After all, among the seven people present, probably only these two had experience fighting different giant stone warriors.
"Now that you mention it, I seem to recall that not only the two giant stone warriors who were chasing us, but also the human-shaped wooden puppets we encountered on the small path earlier, seemed to have a similar fighting style." Deng Baichuan said after some thought, glancing at Wang Ziyu.
"Hmm." The prince nodded slightly, acknowledging Deng Baichuan's words.
"But what does this have to do with these four pillars in front of us?" Deng Baichuan asked Fang Tian Nan.
"The relationship is not much, but I think you should take another look at these giant stone warriors. The current changes can roughly be understood..." Fang Tian Nan said with a hint of playfulness.
At the same time, fifteen giant stone warriors suddenly began to radiate a pale blue-white light all over their bodies without any symptoms. Then, the bodies of the giant stone warriors seemed to be shattered by a sharp sword, dispersing into many small pieces of stone that gradually disappeared into thin air, leaving only a dazzling crystal at the chest position, emitting a pale blue-white light.
The fifteen radiant cyan-white crystal stones were divided into five portions, four of which merged with the four pillars. The remaining portion flew towards Fang Tian Nan and the others, causing them to retreat in unison.
The temperature transmitted from the pale blue crystal is extremely high.
Even if the pale blue crystal stone just brushes past you, it can make you feel a piercing heat, and even in the empty space where these three pale blue crystal stones fly over, some white mist is left behind, condensing and lingering for a long time.
As the three pale blue crystal stones reached the center of the entire hall, the two strange energies in Fang Tian's dantian finally emerged, transforming into a silent and powerful aura that enveloped the three pale blue crystal stones. Due to the dazzling light emitted by the pale blue color, for a moment, no one was able to notice this scene.
Fang Tian Nan's gaze was no longer in the center of the hall.
At this time, Fang Tian Nan's focus was on the four pillars. The monsters that were originally carved on the pillars seemed to have gained enough energy after merging with the crystal in the Giant Warrior's body, and they came back to life. Each monster was opening its mouth and waving its claws on the pillar, trying to break free.
"Not good, shall we quickly hide?" Wu You subconsciously shouted a sentence.
The energy transmitted by the four pillars, undoubtedly more terrifying than the giant stone warriors. And in the hall, at this time, except for the monsters on the four pillars, other dangers, such as the giant stone warriors who were chasing the crowd before, have completely disappeared. The entrance of the passage that was originally blocked by the giant stone warrior is now also wide open.
If many people want to escape, there are still many options available.
"I'm afraid there's no chance." Gu Yanran was staring at the four pillars with a demon-like shape, somewhat distracted.
"Sister Shī, how can there be no opportunity now?" Deng Baichuan was somewhat perplexed. "The entrances of those tunnels, nothing is blocking us anymore, right?"
"Are you thinking of backing out?" Tai Hangbang's Lie Tianfeng spoke up at this time, "Or are you willing to give up the inheritance after finally making it this far?"
"You mean escaping back through the passage is equivalent to giving up on the inheritance?" Deng Baichuan was stunned.
After careful consideration, it seems that everyone who escaped from the entrance of the maze to this great hall is searching for the ultimate inheritance. Moreover, although the paths taken by each person in the maze are different, they are all generally heading upwards.
It can be imagined that if this hall is located on the top of the mountain, then this place in front of us is undoubtedly the most central location of the entire Transmission Cave Heaven.
Looking at the four pillars again, the majestic and powerful demon beast, as well as the sudden strange change, Deng Baichuan for a moment, also acknowledged Lü Tianfeng's explanation.
。。。。。。
It was roughly half a minute later, the four pillars in the hall were even more vivid and lifelike. The energy ripples emitted by the monsters as they struggled were so strong that everyone had to work hard to resist them in order to stand safely in the center of the hall.
Among the seven people, only Fang Tian Nan's strength has not yet entered the Human Yuan realm.
It was at this time that Fang Tiannan was struggling the most to resist the aura emitted by these demonic beasts. For this, Li Tianfeng deliberately glanced at Fang Tiannan and snorted in disdain.
Fang Tiannan could only silently resist the pressure of the demon beast, and didn't mind. However, in his heart, Fang Tiannan had a few points of dissatisfaction with Lü Tianfeng. Earlier, Lü Tianfeng had taken advantage of entering the Transmission Cave Heaven first, and once he gained freedom for himself, he would take action against the others. Fang Tiannan could still understand this.
After all, who doesn't hope to be the one to inherit it in the end?
Cultivation is a path, but almost all those who have achieved success are stepping on the corpses of others to progress. Furthermore, within the Transmission Heaven, even if one "dies", they will not truly die. It's just experiencing a spiritual death. Everyone still has the opportunity to return to the real world.
Furthermore, at that time, Lü Tianfeng was targeting everyone present. Fang Tiannan, although having some reservations about his character, couldn't express too much resentment. Probably, only Wu You, who was the first to be targeted by him, would harbor deep resentment towards Lü Tianfeng.
However, at this moment, it was only Fang Tian Nan's lack of strength that did not affect Lü Tian Feng's resistance, but instead brought about the other party's disdain and jealousy, allowing Fang Tian Nan to see through Lü Tian Feng's character even more clearly.
If possible, Fang Tiannan would rather not be with Li Tianfeng together.
Just as Fang Tian Nan was thinking this, he suddenly felt the pressure on himself lighten abruptly. The four pillars' demonic beasts seemed to have transformed, and from each of their mouths, a ball of light shot out, merging into the cyan-white glow at the center of the hall.
When all the lights gathered together, the passageway entrances around the hall, which were originally still open, also closed one after another, and were replaced by stone gates that fell suddenly. This scene brought extreme surprise to Deng Baichuan and others who still had a few thoughts of wanting to leave.
At the same time, in the center of this mass of light, a blue ancient tripod furnace appeared out of thin air and gradually became clear. As the mass of light faded away, the final shape of the furnace also grew larger. In the end, when the specific shape of the furnace was fully revealed to everyone's eyes, the remaining pale white light suddenly split into seven beams of light, which instantly entered the bodies of the seven people in the hall.
