"It's a pity that no matter how dazzling a warrior is, in the long river of ti, they are nothing but sparkling grains of sand, destined to have all their marks erased."
The crowd sighed, seemingly stepping into the Dragon Emperor's perspective and feeling imnse regret for his life.
Ao Canghai was at a loss for words. As far as he knew, these did not sound like words the domineering Dragon Emperor would say. But for so reason, seeing such words left before this desolate and silent Dragon Palace, it felt strangely fitting for the Dragon Emperor's state of mind before his death.
The young monk Lingjing stepped forward, pressing his palms together. "Amitabha. It is a great blessing that the Dragon Emperor had such a revelation before his demise! He left these words hoping that we would not fight over this inheritance and repeat his past mistakes!"
Han Yi's eyes flickered, a hint of belief dawning in them. He looked at Wang Xiu and asked, "Did the Dragon Emperor say how one might gain his approval?"
Wang Xiu pondered for a mont before replying, "It's quite simple. We just need to stand before this Ancient Stele, reveal our best qualities, and make the Dragon Emperor feel that we are worthy of his inheritance. That's all."
Han Yi raised an eyebrow. "That simple?"
A tall, muscular youth carrying two large hamrs on his shoulder stepped forward. His aura was incredibly strong and his eyes shone brightly. "I'll give it a try!"
"I understand now! Senior Dragon Emperor, I embarked on the path of cultivation at three, awakened my clan's heavenly bloodline at five, and at ten, a single swing of my arm held the force of 100,000 jin! I could split mountains with a punch and calm seas with a stomp. By twenty, I was unmatched among my clan's younger generation. At twenty-five, I began to travel across the various domains and have yet to et my match! Senior Dragon Emperor, if I receive your inheritance, I will surely not tarnish your na. Like you, I will traverse the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, invincible wherever I go!"
[Ding!]

Hearing the System's notification, Wang Xiu's lips curled into a slight smile. His true body was hidden behind the Ancient Stele, his thoughts a flurry of motion. He used the Daoist Text in his mind to connect with the Heavenly Book's Daoist Text within the stele.
In an instant, the Ancient Stele began to glow. The Daoist Text inscribed on it seed to spring to life, swimming like fish in a sea of stars, splendid and colorful.
No one noticed that one beam within that boundless sea of light originated from behind the stele. It descended from the sky like a golden pillar of light, landing directly on Li Daqiang. His eyes shone brilliantly as an ancient rune, infused with Dao Yun, slowly rotated within them. He imdiately sat down cross-legged on the ground and entered a state of epiphany.
"That's all it took?"
"That works too?"
"Holy shit, it really works?!"
Everyone was shocked. They stared at Li Daqiang, who was seated on the ground and deeply absorbed in his epiphany, their eyes filled with envy. Just a few words, and he received the Dragon Emperor's approval and was bestowed with the inheritance? Wasn't that too easy?
Imdiately, another Proud Child of the Nine Heavens stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Dragon Emperor, look at ! I may not be as handso or as talented as the others, but that's just on the surface. I am a hidden dragon! Just give a chance, and I will repay you with a starry sky! Recreating the glory of a Quasi-Emperor is not just a dream!"
[Ding!]

WHOOSH!
The Ancient Stele flared with light. Another beam descended, imnsely bright and dazzling to the extre, landing upon him. Runes swirled in his eyes, and his expression turned to one of pure delight. He imdiately fell into a state of epiphany.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Han Yi's eyes widened. "This works too?"
While they were surprised when the Proud Child from the Li Clan received the stele's reward, it was still sowhat acceptable. After all, although Li Daqiang's strength wasn't the absolute best among the group, he was indeed exceptionally talented and considered a person of distinction even in the Nine Heavens.
But this new guy was from an Immortal Sect in the Cangyuan Realm. Though he might be considered a Proud Child in his own little corner of the world, he was far too lacking compared to the many Proud Children of the Nine Heavens present here! And he wanted to achieve the glory of a Quasi-Emperor? I might as well claim I have the makings of a Great Emperor, then! If this works, then can't we do whatever we want?
Seeing that two people had already been granted the Ancient Stele's rewards and entered a state of epiphany, no one could sit still any longer. They all rushed forward.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, I'm not bad either! I was born with astounding willpower. As a child, I was hit by a Flying Pig King and didn't even cry out once! If you give the inheritance, no matter what difficulties lie ahead, even if a Holy Land stands in my way, I will steadfastly follow your path to the end!"
[Ding!]

"I, Yao Yao, a True Disciple of the Blissful Immortal Sect, am well aware that my combat strength and Cultivation Level are far from those of the gentlen here, yet I have my own strengths! My master told I have a special physique. In this life, I must experience at least 33,000 n to achieve the Great Dao! And they must be like dragons and phoenixes among n, paragons who are one in ten thousand... Senior Dragon Emperor, if you grant your inheritance, I swear I will not act on greed. I will certainly remain firm in my convictions and find the most suitable successor for you."
[Ding!]

A woman draped in translucent silk, her alabaster skin half-concealed, stood out. She was exquisite and alluring, and she spoke in a coquettish tone while fluttering her eyelashes at the Ancient Stele. As she bowed, the vast expanse of her snow-white skin was made tantalizingly visible, nearly causing the convictions of the many n present to waver.
"The Enchantress of the Blissful Sect really lives up to her reputation!"
"What a powerful charm technique. It's only because my heart for the Dao is steadfast that I remain unaffected. Anyone else would have succumbed by now!"
[Ding!]
