Chapter 515: 515: Assessment Hall
After learning that the gods were most likely watching them from somewhere else so they can choose their heir themselves, everyone was determined to do everything they could to get the attention of the gods and get the key to their legacy. This is their sole chance to be promoted to Yuanying Realm and extend their lifespan to 1000 years.
Wan Yuyan, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect had successfully received the key to the Wind God’s Legacy. As long as he found the God of Wind’s altar, he should be able to find the legacy this god had left behind.
All of the sudden the store board had started shaking and the contents written on it was about Wan Yuyan being chosen as the God of Wind’s heir. There are also a few listed who had inherited a technique from the Wind God. It was those whose compatibility with wind elements had gained a heaven-grade technique for catching the eyes of the God of Wind.
{Congratulations! You have all successfully passed the assessment hall. Those who have comprehended the ancient runes on the walls will give you information about the trials that will unfold. Everyone had a chance to be chosen and the gods had no intention of choosing only one heir.}
{The God of Wind had cheated and chose an heir at the Assessment Hall. He had given away the rewards for the Hall of Wind and he will be locked up for a few days without seeing the initial stage of the following trials as punishment.}
{Upon reaching the Hall of Wind, there will be no more additional trials as the heir had been chosen. However, it will still be open as you still need to pass through it to enter the other halls.}
{The trial rules will now be explained. Huashen realm cultivators are not allowed to undergo the trial. However, they can protect or save people if they wish to. Please do not destroy the hall.}
{There are countless halls in this dungeon under the minor gods and goddesses as well as mythical beings. However, the number of halls for the major gods and god kings are limited.}
{For the inheritance of god kings even the Huashen Realm cultivators can inherit their legacy.}
{Killing inside the dungeon is not allowed.}
{Be careful of the taint. They also live in the darkest area of this dungeon.}
{Do not listen to the temptation of the Evil. You will be purged before you can even leave this dungeon.}
{First, the Trial Hall will be the Hall of Water. The God of Water is like the God of Wind. They are Minor Gods. Be prepared. You will now be teleported to the Hall of Water.}
Everyone felt that the ground under their feet was shaking and a big spell appeared. Those who had seen this rune knew that it’s a spatial rune for teleportation. Under the light of the spatial rune everyone was collectively teleported to the next hall.
Once the light had engulfed everyone in the hall, Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang glance at one corner before they disappear together with the others. A few moments after everyone had left, two translucent souls came out from the very corner Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia had stared at before leaving. These souls seem to be the original part of this dungeon.
One of them looks like an elf with long light green hair and a crown made of plants. His emerald gold eyes show how much the wind elements love him. This is the God of the Wind. Beside him is an old man in hermit clothing. He looks like an old sage wearing majestic robes as if he is some kind of scholarly minister in some kind of kingdom. This is the God of Wisdom.
"That man looks so much like the Immortal Emperor who rules all fire and controls the sun. Immortal Emperor Taiyang," the God of Wind said. "Then is that lady with fearless gaze his empress? However, didn’t they see that the empress of Immortal Emperor Taiyang is a weak Celestial?"
The God of Wisdom was staring in dazed as if he had fallen deep in his thoughts. However, he still heard the Wind God’s words.
He said, "It is indeed the Moon Goddess. However, the essence of her soul is stronger than before. Even so, it still feels lacking. Is she not yet fully awakened?"
"How is that possible? That was truly the Goddess of the Moon. Though I have seen her before, that one is a completely different person. Her gaze made me a bit uncomfortable as well. Did she notice us?" The God of Wind said.
The Wisdom God said, "Most likely. Though I am worried that the Sun God will be forceful it seems that in her presence he would at least act like a gentleman. If those old fools see this side of their emperor they might not believe me even if I told them what we had just seen."
"Moreover, why did you choose your heir already? It’s even someone who specializes in swords. You should have chosen the elven lady instead. She is from the same race as you are an Ancient High Elf."
"No. I cannot choose her or my mother will kill me. Her main element is Nature though it is also wind and water. She is the most suitable one for mother’s heir." The God of Wind said. "Either way, there are lots of interesting ones in his batch and most of them had the highest compatibility. Even for your type of god and that Old Buddha as well."
"Sigh~ You have chosen your main heir. You cannot choose another one anymore." The God of Wisdom said. "With so many choices you just have to pick that one. So reckless as always. Let’s go back."
"I do not think that I have made the wrong choice though," The Wind God said as he disappeared from the spot together with the old god.
Once they had left, the wisps of fire in the area had faded and this hall was once again covered in darkness. Within the shadows countless eyes and beings were watching as well. Though they didn’t dare to appear before the two gods from before.
"Food. There are lots of food who came this time~"
"Hehehe~ we can have our fill~"
"If only we can leave after possessing their bodies."
"Eating them will also increase our strength."
"Let’s wait for a bit more. Until despair struck them good~"
"After all, not all of them will be chosen."
"Hehehehehe~"
—
The whole group was teleported in some kind of huge water basin and they landed on a small piece of land they could stand on. Near the shore was a stone mermaid holding a similar stone board like from the ones before. On this board are the contents of the trial for this hall.
A fishmen appeared before the group, "For the Huashen realm cultivators, please follow me to the restaurant to rest."
The other Huashen Realm cultivators looked at one another and finally their eyes landed on the Moon Goddess and the Sun God at the forefront.
Shen Jueyang said, "Lead the way." He only spoke when he saw Yue Xuexia had finished reading the contents on the stoneboard.
Before everyone can move, the Huashen Realm cultivators are invited to rest at the only area of the hall that looks like an open restaurant. There are some mermaids singing for them and some fishmen serving them some drinks and food. On the other hand, the group of Yuanying Cultivators were like stranded ones who didn’t have anything to eat or drink.
There are even some bad masters who would tease their disciples. After all, under the unknown sun burning the Nascent Soul cultivators at the shore, the God Transformation cultivators are in luxury at the restaurant by the side. The Holy Witch Suzi ordered shaved ice and called for her disciples.
She said, "My darling disciples~ do your best! Master is going to taste test the food here first for you!"
The disciple of Holy Witch Suzi, Poison Goddess Susan and Qin Ancestor Qin Yao were all together as a team. So they knew that the Holy Witch is the kind with a sand sculptor type of personality. They can hear their tummies rumbling under the scent of lingering food aroma in the hall.
"That shaved ice looks so delicious. It’s perfect for this kind of heat."
"I’ve eaten a Bigu Pill, why is my tummy still rumbling?"
"Out of sight, out of mind!"
"Amitabha~"
Qin Ancestor pulled away the jolly Holy Witch and made her seat beside the Poison Goddess.
She said, "Eat and don’t walk around. They cannot eat yet."
"Eh? Why couldn’t they eat?" The Holy Witch Suzi asked.
The Poison Goddess Susan said, "Did you read the rules on that Stoneboard? According to the Trial of this Hall. Their Qi are sealed and they must complete the trials under the temptation of food. You just have to taunt your disciples. Are you a devil?"
Everyone waiting in the restaurant is watching their disciples and descendants be roasted under that artificial sun in the hall. What is surprising is that this hall even has a sky.
Yue Xuexia said, "This hall even has its own sky and sun. This sun is a bit similar to your powers."
"It must be made from my powers within the legacy. This little artificial sun is made up from the Laws of the Sun." Shen Jueyang said.
The Moon Goddess picked up her coconut juice and said, "This dungeon is more fun than I expected."
