Though everyone who entered the third floor of the Twilight Tower encountered different scenes, they all had one thing in common – the time would absolutely not exceed one day.
If it exceeded one day…
The situation would not be optimistic.
Because no one had ever walked out of the Twilight Tower on the second day after they had reached the third floor.
And now, it was already the fifth day!
Whether it was the Li Family Elder, or Xia Zilin, Liang Hongshen, Lin Tianhui… none of their expressions looked good.
Because, regardless of who entered the third floor, they most likely had already perished inside the Twilight Tower.
Seven days.
This was the final limit.
After seven days, death could basically be declared.
Though the Grand Empire had set the time limit, now, the crowd of onlookers outside the Twilight Tower had already started decreasing from the third day. By now, there were only a few dozen people scattered around.
“Could it be that we still cannot retrieve the Royal Seal?” The Earl looked toward the Twilight Tower, also sighing.
He had to admit, given Li Aofeng’s talent and strength, if even Li Aofeng could not retrieve the Royal Seal, then what kind of person would it take to bring the Royal Seal back?
He suddenly felt that retrieving the Royal Seal was going to be an impossible task.
“Damn it! It must be that kid who injured Aofeng! He must be delayed because of his injuries…” The Li Family Elder’s gaze toward Liang Hongshen was filled with killing intent.
If Liang Hongshen had not recommended Qin Yichen to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, none of this would have happened.
“The Thousand Mist Empire is truly remarkable! Seems like I must personally make a trip to see the talented people there!” His tone clearly carried murderous intent, making Liang Hongshen’s heart tremble.
If the Li Family truly became ruthless, forget about Qin Yichen’s Family in the Northern Region, even his Liang Family would be difficult to protect.
Xia Zilin’s expression changed.
This was clearly ignoring her existence as the Seventh Princess of the Royal Family!
But after a moment of anger, she felt deep helplessness.
What did it matter if she was a Royal Princess? She had no usable troops in her hands, not a shred of usable power. If she tried to pressure the Li Family using her Princess status, not only would she fail to stop the Li Family, she would also be ridiculed by the Li Family and her so-called Brothers and Sisters…
“Qin Yichen, if you are the one who enters the third floor, you must return safely. Otherwise, I might not be able to protect your Family…”
She closed her eyes.
…
The sixth day.
*Huff…* Only after letting out a long breath did Qin Yichen open his eyes. In his eyes was not joy from receiving the inheritance, but deep shock.
Shock about Master Lu Ban.
The inheritance mentioned that Master Lu Ban could carve birds from wood and beasts from stone… he had thought these were exaggerations. But in fact, those were mere trivial skills for Master Lu Ban!
At his peak, Master Lu Ban had almost reached the point where he could turn stone into soldiers and point at grass to make Artifacts!
What did this mean? Wherever Master Lu Ban went, he had endless armies at his disposal!
No wonder Master Lu Ban alone could repel the Foreign Races!
No wonder Master Lu Ban could be titled a Peerless Master of a whole generation!
After receiving this inherited memory, Qin Yichen discovered how ignorant he had been.
Once, he thought the world ten thousand years later was the most glorious era.
But now, it seemed otherwise.
Ten thousand years later, many things had evolved to their peak.
Like Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, like the Dao of Alchemy… but in that distant era, what those Masters left behind was lost in the river of time. They were still not worthy of note to be remembered for eternity.
“You have received the inheritance. Now, you are the 32nd Sect Master of my Lu Ban Sect. I hope you can continue Lu Ban’s Legacy!”
The elderly voice awakened Qin Yichen.
Then, a ring slowly descended before Qin Yichen, wrapped in luminous light.
“Inside are some of my insights. I hope they can help you.”
Qin Yichen hurriedly gave thanks and picked up the ring.
Though he had received the inheritance, many things in it were difficult to understand. Many places he could not figure out at all. Forget about turning stone into soldiers or grass into Artifacts – right now, even making an ordinary Puppet would be difficult.
Still, he knew each path must be walked step by step.
“Could this be… a Space Ring?”
After picking up the ring, Qin Yichen first looked it over, then his pupils suddenly widened as he exclaimed in surprise.
Space Rings were products of the Mythological Era. Though some Space Rings remained in later ages, like the present, even in the most glorious period ten thousand years later, no one could understand exactly how Space Rings were made.
Even when Qin Yichen had stood at the peak, he did not have such a miraculous item as a Space Ring.
Only those ancient Major Families might have one or two. Moreover, those ancient Major Families treated them like their very lives.
Surprised, Qin Yichen quickly contained his inner excitement.
It was quite normal for the Lu Ban Descendants to possess a Space Ring.
As his Spiritual Energy covered the ring, a vast space appeared in his perception. He estimated that even if moving a small mountain into it, this ring could still contain it.
“Such a large space?” Though Qin Yichen had not obtained a Space Ring before, it did not mean he had not seen one. But those Space Rings he had seen had space less than one-tenth of this ring.
This indicated that when this Space Ring fell into Master Lu Ban’s hands, Master Lu Ban had improved it, thus making the space so large.
However, there was not much inside the Space Ring, just some tools and a few yellowed booklets.
[These should be the insights left by that Elder.] Next, Qin Yichen’s first task was to take out the Seven-Coloured Flowers and Fruits and other things from the Small Pill Furnace and put them into the ring.
The Small Pill Furnace could certainly store things, but that bastard would take advantage of Qin Yichen at every opportunity.. Just taking the Seven-Coloured Flowers and Fruits as an example, almost half had already been absorbed by it.
Though it was painful, at that time, Qin Yichen had no other choice.
If not placed in the Small Pill Furnace, carrying so many things would first make moving around very inconvenient.
Moreover, it was not really wasted – the cracks in the Small Pill Furnace had clearly been repaired by a significant margin.
“I wonder what it will take to completely repair you. Seriously,,,” Qin Yichen sighed, tossing the Small Pill Furnace into the Space Ring as well.
“This Disciple will certainly make our Lu Ban Sect flourish!”
He kowtowed three times before Master Lu Ban’s statue before standing up.
“Time to leave!” A cold light flashed in Qin Yichen’s eyes.
He had killed Li Aofeng. The Li Family would absolutely not let the matter rest. Though he could obtain a Noble title once he went out, taking down the Li Family was absolutely impossible with his power alone.
