* Rumble~ *
After a long time of struggle and effort, the place began to shake, startling all the participants.
"Look! Those two made it all the way to the ancient building!"
"What, they really made it?"
"So this means we failed?"
Quickly exclamations and surprises filled the place as Lang Qingzu and the other boy arrived almost at the same time at the ancient building. This triggered the earthquake in the place, surprising everyone.
"Ah! Big brother! Big Sis-"
The next moment, both Lang Qingzu and the other boy disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving no trace behind. Even their auras could not be felt.
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, Xuan Li gasped in shock as she felt a gentle but very powerful force enveloping her, and subsequently carrying her towards the ancient building as well.
"A-ancestor!" Xuan Li couldn't help but look at Ling Tian in fear as she felt that she couldn't escape from this force.
Ling Tian frowned slightly and as he was about to lightly wave his hand he stopped.
"It's okay, you go to the second test as well as your younger sister." Ling Tian smiled at her and added, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. Little Bingluo would be upset with me if I let anything happen to her disciples."
Xuan Li couldn't help but have a trace of fear despite nodding at what Ling Tian said. Her confidence towards this supreme ancestor of her sect was gradually increasing with time and although she had confidence, she couldn't help but feel fear still. Even with her newly ascended cultivation and the powerful strength she obtained, she could not escape this aura.
Xuan Li was led towards the ancient building and just before she arrived, she instantly disappeared just like the other two, leaving everyone present shocked.
"Why did that girl also disappear? She hadn't failed the test having stepped out of formation?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't seem unfair to me... on the one hand I feel that by her bravery for having dared to break through in this place she has earned her place. Even I who have lived a long life no longer have that courage."
"Nonsense! If I had known earlier that there was such a hidden powerhouse protecting us, then I would have broken through long ago and earned that place!"
"Hey! Is it my imagination, or has the coercion on the place lessened?"
"Yeah... you're right! The pressure I felt a few moments ago have diminished! I even feel like I can take several steps without any problem at all!"
"Let's hurry then! We still have a chance to catch up to those geniuses and try to compete for a share of the inheritance!"
The place became bustling once they noticed that the coercion the place had lessened considerably, allowing many to advance several dozen meters towards the center. Although the pressure was still increasing as they advanced, it was much less compared to before, which excited the participants to see that they might still have a chance to continue competing.
"Elders, what do we do? Do we keep waiting?"
In the sky, Wen Ming asked as he stared at the ancient building on the site, where Xuan Li and the other two had disappeared.
"Let them go on. That way they'll weaken the strength of the place and we can snatch the inheritance in the end." Wen Woo spat mockingly, glaring at everyone in the place. His gaze couldn't help but shift to Ling Tian, watching him who was still resting with his eyes closed as if he didn't care about that little girl. He sneered more at Ling Tian before shifting his attention.
Ling Tian slowly lifted his eyelids and looked up at the 60 year old man in the sky. Although he had felt his gaze on him, Ling Tian didn't care and looked in the direction of the center of the place. He knew what these guys were planning, but he didn't care.
If they wanted to steal his female grand disciples, then they would have to refrain from the consequences.
Time passed gradually. Several cultivators who were nearby also disappeared once they approached the ancient old building, further incentivizing those who followed them. It seemed that there was still hope to continue competing for the inheritance.
Ling Tian frowned slightly as he looked towards the old building. His spirit sense broke through the defenses and headed towards a specific place.
"Even if reality and the world are cruel, sometimes one needs a helping hand to keep from falling, even if it's just a few words..."
Ling Tian's eyes glittered before narrowing, gazing coldly towards the ancient building. A faint killing intent crossed his eyes.
...
"Where am I?"
Lang Qingzu frowned as she opened her eyes and after a long time saw no one around her. She quickly got up and looked around. Fear and nervousness soon filled her little heart.
She was still in the same valley where she was moments ago, to be more precise, where they had found Ling Tian in the divine garden full of spiritual flowers. However, neither Ling Tian nor Xuan Li were here. Lang Qingzu also did not have any communication device to be able to communicate with them.
"Big sis!"
"Big brother!"
Lang Qingzu called out to the two but got no response. She even scanned her body and realized that she had the same newly ascended cultivation base at the Foundation Establishment's Middle Stage, but there was nothing strange or different about her. Her clothes and everything else were the same before she was pulled into that ancient building.
The place where she was was still the same. No plant or spiritual grass had been left and the place remained the same as they had left it.
"Will it be an illusion?"

Lang Qingzu's complexion became worried and tense and she quickly sat up in lotus form. She quickly calmed her mind and soon began to execute the techniques taught by her beloved master to break the illusion she was trapped in.
However, fear still covered her heart and together with nervousness she found it difficult to concentrate fully, failing for a few moments to execute her mental techniques.
* Crackle! *
Like the faint sound of a mirror shattering, it was heard clearly after a long time, causing Lang Qingzu to open her eyes at once. She scanned herself inch by inch, as well as her surroundings, looking for anything to be out of normal after breaking the illusion she was in.
She was still in the same place, but now, Lang Qingzu seemed to sense several presences in the distance!
"It worked!" Lang Qingzu smiled very happily as she saw that she had broken out of the illusion or formation she was trapped in.
Quickly, she grabbed her flying sword and flew towards one of the nearest presences.
"Umn?" Lang Qingzu was stunned to see some older youths running towards a particular direction.
Gathering courage and bravery as she calmed her tense and nervous heart, Lang Qingzu swiftly approached them on her flying sword.
"B-big brothers! Big sisters! Wait!" Lang Qingzu called out cautiously and nervously.
"Huh? Who?!"
"Who is it?"
Instantly, the group consisting of three men and two women stopped and looked cautiously and seriously toward Lang Qingzu.
"A little girl?" One of the men frowned in stupefaction at the sight of a girl of about 12 or 13 years old alone in this place.
Moreover, this little girl was flying on a flying sword!
"What a pretty little sister." One of the women smiled tenderly at the sight of Lang Qingzu.
Lang Qingzu stopped a few meters away from them so as not to try to disrespect them. She got down from her flying sword and looked at these people.
"Wait! This girl has a cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Suddenly, one of the men exclaimed and the next moment made the others go pale as he was unable to measure her actual cultivation, looking at Lang Qingzu in shock as he felt a terrifying pressure when his spirit sense scanned her. All of them couldn't help but take a few steps back to see that this little girl had a higher cultivation than them!
The strongest of them barely had a cultivation at the Eighth Stage of Chi Gathering!
Lang Qingzu looked at these people who seemed to be about the same age as her Ancestor Ling Tian and her Master Zhen Bingluo, as well as her other sect elders, but somehow she felt no threat from them. Even Lang Qingzu could see their cultivation levels clearly when she dared to quickly scan them with her cultivation level.
"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
One of the women plucked up her courage and nervously asked Lang Qingzu. Her voice was trembling as well as her legs.
Lang Qingzu couldn't help but be stunned to see a woman of the same age as her master and ancestor, but she disregarded it and instead asked, "E-excuse me, you haven't by any chance seen an big sister who has a robe of the same design as mine? Or a very handsome and strong big brother who has a black shirt and white pants?" She clasped her hands together and fiddled with her fingers, feeling nervous.
This made the group stand in confusion for a moment before letting out a few sighs of relief.
"No. We haven't seen anyone like that." The woman replied more calmly.
It seemed that this super cultivator more powerful than them was just looking for her teammates!
"Ahm! Well, thank you!"
Lang Qingzu couldn't help but feel more sad and desperate before thanking.
"Mmhmm, why don't you come with us? We're heading towards a place that is said to be the inheritance of a powerful Nascent Soul realm expert, and we want to compete in its trials so that we can compete for the inheritance!"
Seeing Lang Qingzu's expression, the other woman couldn't help but speak up and invite her.
"Umn? Nascent Soul realm expert inheritance?" Lang Qingzu was stunned to hear this.
"Yes! They say they are in some ruins near here!" One of the men added with a smile. Although the power of a Nascent Soul expert was unimaginable to them and they knew they had no chance, they could at least try to obtain some small cultivation resources.
Lang Qingzu was dumbfounded. Wasn't this the place where she had gone with her big sister and big brother?
"Is it okay for me to go with you?" Lang Qingzu asked. She didn't know the exact direction, because Ling Tian had carried the two of them on his flying sword and so she enjoyed the flight without paying much attention.
"Of course!"
The first woman nodded with a smile and waved her hand at Lang Qingzu to come over and run with them. None of them had flying swords like her.
Lang Qingzu hesitated for a few moments before nodding cautiously. She could not sense the auras of Xuan Li or Ling Tian, and if the place these people mentioned turned out to be that place, then she could go back again.
Maybe her big brother and big sister would be waiting for her there!
