"Senior Xiao, I don't want the inheritance anymore, let me out."

"Let me out!"

At this time, Xiao Tianyou's voice came again,

"Now that you are here, you must complete the test before leaving. Otherwise, how can I find a suitable successor?"

After hearing this, a cultivator started to test it, then failed on purpose and came out immediately. Sure enough, the passage at the back was opened. The cultivator was overjoyed and left immediately. A curtain of light appeared in the air, on which the cultivator walked out of the sword tower was shown.

The way this cultivator left made most people feel relieved and continued to test. In a place that Lin Ji and others could not see, the third-floor casual cultivator passage was already littered with corpses, and the smell of blood filled the entire passage. There were also spots of light floating out of the corpses, which went straight to the seventh floor along the hidden passage. Xiao Tianyou looked at the crystal in front of him, which became more and more magical after absorbing the light, and laughed.

"There are already enough souls in the crystal. Most of the remaining people are disciples of the sect. For safety, we should let them go. After all, it is best if the sword tower can be preserved."

……

"Michiko, why don't we leave too? I always feel it's dangerous."

Zhu Jinglan suggested in a low voice with some uneasiness. Lin Ji looked around and used his mental power to explore, but found that he was restricted to this floor and could not explore other floors. He had to give up and gave orders to Tian Dong and the other two.

"You two should go out first and be careful."

"Yes."

The two could not disobey Lin Ji's orders, so they could only start the test, and then fail on purpose and leave. Seeing the two leave, Lin Ji actually felt relieved. After all, if there was really danger, he might not be able to save people in time, so it was better for him to leave.

At this moment, a man suddenly looked at the monk who was leaving and sneered in a sarcastic tone.

"Why cultivate the Tao when you are afraid of this and that? You might as well go home and farm."

Then the man quickened his pace and entered the room to test. The monk behind him, who had been hesitant, plucked up the courage to start testing after hearing this.

"Is this a provocation?"

Thinking this, Lin Ji entered a room. There were several puppets on both sides of the room, and there were traces of cultivators fighting on the floor. Suddenly, a puppet at the seventh level of Qi training moved and started to attack directly. Lin Ji just condensed the Qi sword a few times and cut it into several pieces, and then the road to the next level was opened.

Lin Ji was about to leave when suddenly several balls of light floated out in the air, containing some objects.

"This is the reward for clearing the level."

He went forward to check them all out, and found that they were all low-grade magical instruments and some spiritual herbs, which were of no use. Lin Ji picked up a spiritual herb and continued to walk upwards.

There are only ten cultivators who have reached the fifth floor. Lin Ji discovered that there are only two independent cultivators among them, and they are the two who first entered the independent cultivator passage on the third floor. It seems that the other independent cultivators are in great danger.

There are 10 desks on the fifth floor according to the number of people. There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on them. There are 10 light balls floating in the front. Then there are rules engraved on the stone tablet. Write down your approximate interpersonal relationships on the paper. This will allow me to understand your character.

"What kind of test is this? Can't you just make it up at random? I really don't understand it. It's so weird everywhere."

Lin Ji frowned and thought, then found a desk and began to write about his experiences and interpersonal relationships. He quickly finished, put down his pen and walked forward. The items in the light ball were more advanced, so Lin Ji chose a heavy water bead, a mid-grade water-based magic weapon, which was just right as a gift for Xiao Ningxue.

Other cultivators also chose their rewards one after another, and finally walked to the next floor together. At this time, Xiao Tianyou on the seventh floor casually swept the papers.

"Shi Ri Feng Xia, it's all fake, especially this one called Sen Qi, they didn't even try to cover it up, they just wrote it randomly, and this name must be fake too."

While Xiao Tianyou was sighing, Lin Ji and others had already reached the sixth floor. The entire floor was empty except for some floating reward light balls. Just as they were puzzled, Xiao Tianyou's voice came.

"For a cultivator, character is very important. I will set up an illusion to test your character. The first one to pass it will be my successor. Be prepared."

In an instant, the space on the sixth floor became hazy, and when Lin Ji touched the fog, he was pulled into an illusion.

A mountain of knives appeared in front of Lin Ji, and below it was a sea of ​​fire spreading upwards. Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Ji knew what to do. He took a deep breath, grasped the sharp blade, and slowly climbed upwards.

"As expected, it is the foundation of the three realms. The pain in this illusion feels so real."

Lin Ji climbed up quickly. With the experience of fighting to the death in the Tower of Trials, he no longer cared about this kind of pain.

After a while, one of the boys could no longer bear the pain brought by the mountain of swords. He slowed down and was caught up by the sea of ​​fire. Feeling that he had no hope, the boy gave up resistance and was engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.

Xiao Tianyou on the seventh floor looked at the boy who had woken up with surprise and released his mental power to contact him.

'Child, come upstairs'

The boy who had just woken up looked at the people around him who were still in the illusion, his expression a little depressed. He felt that his will was really weak. He was startled by Xiao Tianyou's voice, and then asked nervously.

'But I failed, and I was the first to fail, not as good as the others'

"What I value is your honesty. Compared to others, your writing on the fifth floor is the most sincere. And it's not that you are inferior to others, but because I increased the difficulty of your trial, so you were the first to be eliminated. Do you understand, kid?"

"So that's how it is, Senior Xiao, I'll go up now"

"You still call me senior? You call me Master."

The young man was very happy. He looked proudly at the other people who were still in the illusion, then went to the next floor. After entering the seventh floor, a kind old man was looking at him expectantly. The expectant look encouraged the young man and he quickly approached the old man.

"Ahem... child, I don't have much time left, so I will just pass the inheritance to you. Hold this crystal. It will be a little painful at first, but this is normal. Don't resist."

Xiao Tianyou first closed the door to the seventh floor, and then secretly activated the formation to completely seal the seventh floor. He then instructed the young man in a weak voice. The young man nodded in agreement without any doubt, and then sat opposite Xiao Tianyou with the crystal. The crystal emitted a bright light that entered the young man's forehead.

……

In the illusion, Lin Ji finally climbed to the top of the mountain of knives. He relaxed as he looked at the deep scars on his body that could be seen to the bones. Then the mountain of knives and the sea of ​​fire disappeared, and Lin Ji returned to reality.

"This test is easy, I should be the first one."

Thinking of this, Lin Ji looked around and saw that there were eight people still in the illusion and had not woken up. One person was missing. Lin Ji couldn't believe it and counted again. There were still eight people. It was unexpected that someone could surpass him at this age even though he had the Tower of Trials.

But he had no choice but to believe the facts before him, because a stone tablet appeared in front of him, which read: "I have found the successor, and you losers can take the reward and leave."
