I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Lin Feng moved like lightning, rushing towards the depths of the Cangxuan Ancient Palace.

This ancient palace was built by the Cangxuan Ancient Emperor with all his heart and soul. The palace is filled with restrictions and layers of magic arrays, making it extremely dangerous.

Even with Lin Feng's current powerful physique, it would be difficult for him to withstand the power of these restrictions and formations.

As they went deeper, scars of varying depths gradually appeared on his body, a shocking sight.

Fortunately, thanks to his extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, he managed to overcome all obstacles without serious injury.

Suddenly, the view opened up before them, revealing an even more magnificent and expansive palace.

The animal hide map stopped moving after arriving here, then transformed into a stream of light and entered the storage ring again.

The hall before us is supported by eighty-one thick beams and pillars, giving it a towering dome and an imposing presence.

A faint, almost imperceptible chill permeated every inch of the hall's air.

In front of the hall, a skeleton stood silently.

The skeleton remained in a cross-legged sitting posture, as if it had simply fallen into a deep sleep, showing no signs of decay.

Each bone is crystal clear and has a warm, lustrous sheen, as if it were carved from a piece of exquisite jade.

Needless to say, the owner of this skeleton must be the legendary Cangxuan Ancient Emperor.

Beside the skeleton, a blood-red spirit fox was curled up.

The fox spirit had a weak aura and its cultivation was only equivalent to the human's Opening Meridian Realm. It squatted halfway at the skeleton's feet, motionless.

It simply used its bright eyes to curiously observe Lin Feng as he slowly walked towards it.

Lin Feng merely glanced at the spirit fox, paying it no mind, and then fixed his gaze firmly on the skeleton.

His eyes were filled with sighs, and his heart was filled with countless emotions.

"Even such a powerful figure could not cultivate the path to immortality and ultimately could not escape the fate of falling. It is truly lamentable."

The path of cultivation is inherently fraught with thorns and dangers, and every step is fraught with peril.

They must not only contend with the laws of heaven and earth, but also compete with their peers who are stronger. A slight mistake could lead to annihilation.

Only those with extraordinary strength and great fortune can break through numerous obstacles and reach the end of cultivation.

Lin Feng quickly composed himself and came back to his senses. He then sent out a wisp of his divine sense, carefully searching for traces of the ancient god's blood essence.

"Young man, your ability to defeat all kinds of powerful enemies with your Foundation Establishment cultivation and successfully arrive here is enough to prove your outstanding talent."

"They are indeed qualified to inherit my legacy!"

Suddenly, a majestic and ancient voice echoed throughout the empty hall.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was not alarmed at all; instead, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

This emperor?

Could it be that the owner of this voice is the master of the ancient palace—the Cangxuan Ancient Emperor?

But didn't he already perish?

As if seeing through Lin Feng's doubts, the voice slowly rang out again.

"I am but a remnant of a soul, and it will not be long before I completely dissipate into the world."

"I see."

Lin Feng nodded silently, remaining expressionless, and then asked, "Senior, how can I obtain your inheritance?"

"If you can withstand my imperial pressure, you will have passed the test and be qualified to inherit the legacy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious light surged in mid-air, and a phantom figure slowly emerged.

He was an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a long robe with wide sleeves, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom.

His figure appeared somewhat ethereal, with a hint of vicissitude.

As soon as the old man appeared, an unimaginable and terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire hall.

This terrifying aura surged forth like a raging torrent, sweeping towards Lin Feng with unstoppable force!

Lin Feng was immediately startled. The intensity of this pressure had already surpassed the Spirit Sea Realm and reached the Martial Core Realm level.

His feet suddenly sank into the ground, and his bones cracked and popped.

If Lin Feng hadn't possessed the Chaos Body and hadn't cultivated the Hundred-Refined Vajra Body to the Silver Blood level, he probably would have already been crushed into a cloud of blood mist by this pressure.

"If you can endure for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you will have passed the test."

"Of course! You can choose to withdraw at any time, but that also means you've failed the test and will be ineligible to inherit the legacy."

A grand voice rang in Lin Feng's ears once again.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes seemingly burning with a fierce flame, revealing an indomitable spirit.

If it were an ordinary cultivator at the Spirit Sea Realm, under such pressure, they would probably have already felt fear and fled in panic.

After all, no matter how precious the opportunity, if you lose your life for it, it will all be for nothing.

But Lin Feng quickly adjusted his mindset.

Although he was not sure whether the inheritance mentioned by the Cangxuan Ancient Emperor contained the essence and blood of the ancient gods.

Even without it, the inheritance of a Holy Emperor is an unparalleled opportunity that would greatly benefit him.

Moreover, if he really couldn't withstand it, he still had the silver ring to protect him, so he wouldn't end up losing his life.

Time passed slowly, and the oppressive force from all directions gradually rose to its peak, making it hard for people to breathe.

Lin Feng's whole body tensed up, his muscles and bones cracking and popping. Before long, he could no longer hold on and let out a roar.

The next moment, his Chaos Body fully unleashed its power, and his aura surged.

"Splash!"

Countless chaotic mists surged out from Lin Feng's body, sweeping in all directions.

Each wisp of mist was vast and heavy, like smoke and cotton, exuding a magnificent aura of the beginning of chaos.

"Good lad! Even I, the Emperor, couldn't see through your true nature!"

A surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the oppressive aura that had enveloped all directions suddenly became as gentle as a spring breeze, losing all its power.

Lin Feng looked up, his eyes filled with confusion.

The test has not yet been completed for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so why has it suddenly stopped?

"Senior, are you not planning to continue the assessment?" Lin Feng asked, snapping out of his reverie.

"The arrival of a Chaos Saint Body to inherit my mantle is a gift from Heaven; why should there be any further testing?"

The illusory figure nodded slightly, revealing a smile, and then lightly flicked its sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was overjoyed, and a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

"You've cleared the game!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure flicked his finger, and a dazzling stream of light shot out, rushing towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised his hand to bring the stream of light to his front. Looking down, he saw that it was an ancient storage ring.

Presumably, the entire legacy of the Cangxuan Ancient Emperor is sealed within this storage ring.

Lin Feng was shocked, both surprised and delighted.

Even before the trial began, the leaders of the six major sects had already explored this ancient palace and taken away all the most precious treasures within.

All the disciples who participated in the trial believed that they could only find one or two overlooked treasures at most, and it would be difficult to obtain the core opportunity.

Unexpectedly, a wisp of the ancient Cangxuan Emperor's remnant soul had been hiding in the palace all along, and had even sealed his legacy in a storage ring, waiting for a destined person.

Lin Feng secretly rejoiced, and then wanted to check the treasures in his storage ring.

Just then, the voice of the Cangxuan Ancient Emperor's phantom rang out again.

"Besides my imperial inheritance, there is another heaven-defying opportunity. It depends on whether you have the courage to seize it."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he vaguely guessed what was going on. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Please speak, senior!"

"This opportunity is extraordinary. If you choose to accept it, you will be accepting a karmic debt that defies the heavens."

"The path of cultivation in the future will likely be fraught with endless troubles and dangers."

"If you feel fear, then retreat now. If you can obtain my inheritance, then this trip will not have been in vain..."

cause and effect?

Endless future troubles?

Lin Feng frowned deeply, lost in thought.

He had already guessed that the heaven-defying opportunity mentioned by the Cangxuan Ancient Emperor was most likely the ancient god's essence blood that he had been searching for.

In other words, once you obtain the essence of the ancient god, a great calamity will befall you in the future.

"What's your decision?" the illusory figure asked Lin Feng with a smile.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed for a moment, and finally a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

"Senior, even if I am consumed by karma, I will never let go of any opportunity to become stronger."

"We cultivators are inherently defying the heavens, defying destiny!"

"If one is timid and hesitant, always looking back and forth, what's the point of cultivating the path to immortality, or becoming a top-tier expert?"

After obtaining the small tower, Lin Feng's goal was no longer just revenge, but to stand at the pinnacle of this world and look down upon all living beings.

If one doesn't even dare to accept the ethereal cause and effect, how can one possibly glimpse the path to immortality and achieve unparalleled cultivation in the future?

"Hahaha! Good lad, you certainly haven't disappointed me!"

"I have finally found someone willing to bear this karma. Even if my soul is scattered to the winds, I can rest in peace!"

"By the way, keep that spirit fox that wandered into this place by your side and take good care of it. It will definitely come in very handy in the future."

"The legacy of Cangxuan opens the path to heaven; we, the younger generation, sing and laugh across ten thousand mountains! Hahahaha!"

Loud laughter echoed throughout the hall, then abruptly stopped three breaths later.

The phantom transformed into streams of light that scattered in all directions before completely dissipating.

At the same time, a cold, sharp light transformed into an arrow, instantly piercing into Lin Feng's dantian before disappearing.
