"Young friend
Sacred Light Buyu spoke up. He did not state things directly but first offered Chu Feng a word of praise.
Only then did he recount the events that had transpired.
It turned out that although Sacred Valley was in a state of seclusion, it had never truly sealed itself off. On the contrary, it frequently patrolled the Sacred Light Heavenly River and the Nine Souls Heavenly River.
So it was not merely the Sacred Light Heavenly River — they had received benefits in the Nine Souls Heavenly River as well.
Long ago, they had even discovered a martial cultivator's ruin within the Nine Souls Heavenly River, unknown to anyone else.
No one knew who the owner of that ruin had been.
All that was known was that it belonged to a powerful figure from ancient times, who had left behind a portion of his inheritance within it.
Obtaining that inheritance would undoubtedly be an extraordinary matter.
However, much like many other ruins, this one came with a requirement — only the younger generation could enter.
That was rather similar to the Zhuge family's Inheritance Formation.
But there was one key difference. The Zhuge family's Inheritance Formation was relatively safe. As long as you did not make a foolish mistake, even failure would not spell the end — you would get another chance to try again.
But the inheritance ruin discovered by Sacred Valley was different. You only got one chance. Either you succeeded or you failed, and if you failed, you would lose your life inside.
Sacred Valley had coveted the inheritance within this ruin. Many geniuses had stepped inside over the years, but without exception, every single one had perished within.
Yet even so, Sacred Valley had not designated it as a forbidden zone. Instead, they continued to wait — wait for a truly outstanding genius to emerge in Sacred Valley, so they could attempt the ruin once more.
The current generation of Sacred Valley could be considered the most exceptional group of young talents they had ever produced.
In theory, they should have attempted that inheritance ruin long ago.
But precisely because the current generation was the most outstanding and most promising Sacred Valley had ever had, Sacred Valley had grown fearful.
The young prodigies of the present era were Sacred Valley's hope. Sacred Valley had every ability to nurture them properly.
As long as they grew normally, they would inevitably elevate Sacred Valley to an entirely new peak.
To have them risk their lives for an uncertain inheritance would be nothing short of forcing their growth — and inviting disaster.
Sacred Valley was unwilling to bear that risk.
And so, even though some of the current young talents had expressed a desire to challenge the inheritance ruin, the Sacred Lord had never given his approval.
But Sacred Light Baimie and Sacred Light Buyu had both witnessed Chu Feng's talent firsthand.
They believed that if Chu Feng were to attempt it, he would certainly succeed. In other words, if even Chu Feng could not succeed, then perhaps no one in this world could.
After deliberating, they decided to bring Chu Feng to that inheritance ruin.
This had been their own decision, so in effect, they were acting first and reporting later — after all, the matter required the Sacred Lord's approval.
But they were confident that their Sacred Lord would have no objection.
"Young hero Chu Feng, your talent is beyond question, but the dangers of that inheritance ruin are no mere rumor."
"So this matter is for you to decide. If you are willing, this old man will take you there."
"If you are unwilling, we will all return to Sacred Valley together and wait for the Sacred Lord to emerge from seclusion. Then we will go after that old thief Yin Ren and the
After explaining their intentions, Sacred Light Baimie addressed Chu Feng.
"
Chu Feng had his concerns.
It was not the risk that Chu Feng feared. The achievements he had reached today were precisely because he did not shy from danger. He had always believed in the saying that fortune favors the bold, and it was his willingness to take daring risks that had allowed him to climb from the Lower Realm all the way to the pinnacle of the Heavenly River.
What Chu Feng worried about was Sacred Light Baimie and Sacred Light Buyu.
He feared that their decision, made on their own initiative, to bring him — an outsider — to such a critical cultivation site of Sacred Valley might bring them harm.
"Rest easy. Do you think we don't know the Sacred Lord's character?"
"If he learned of what you've done, he would absolutely approve. To put it bluntly, that inheritance ruin — the Sacred Lord would never allow any of Sacred Valley's young generation to enter."
"Keeping it unused is simply a waste. We might as well let you try," Sacred Light Baimie said.
"Very well. Then let us go."
Chu Feng agreed.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's acceptance, they set out immediately.
They split into two groups. Sacred Light Buyu returned to Sacred Valley.
Sacred Light Baimie, meanwhile, led Chu Feng and Niandao Daoist toward the inheritance ruin.
Along the way, Chu Feng asked Sacred Light Baimie what exactly that inheritance was like.
But Sacred Light Baimie did not know all the details himself.
That inheritance forbidden zone had been discovered by the previous Sacred Lord.
The previous Sacred Lord had not told them the specifics of how he had found the ruin.
He had only informed them that the inheritance forbidden zone was exceedingly dangerous, but the master within was undoubtedly a truly remarkable figure.
If one could obtain the inheritance, the rewards would be immense.
For that reason, despite the extreme danger of the forbidden zone, Sacred Valley had continued to send their young talents in to try.
During the previous Sacred Lord's era, they had sent juniors inside nearly every year. The number of Sacred Valley's young generation who had perished within was at least several thousand, if not tens of thousands — a devastating loss.
Hearing this, Chu Feng still did not fully understand the details of this inheritance ruin from ancient times, but he could not help growing excited.
He had a gut feeling that if he could obtain the inheritance there, his strength would undergo a massive leap.
But at the same time, Chu Feng had another intuition.
