Chapter 801: Chapter 447: Inheritance
Again, he finds himself inside a great hall, but this time the hall is larger than any other he has been before, giving Li Shiming a sense that this place is indeed a separate world.
Li Shiming looks at the two white jade pillars inside the hall. The upper part of each pillar stands among white clouds; if his vision were limited as before, he would not be able to see the top of the hall.
Beneath his feet is a floor made of the same white jade.
This is not ordinary white jade; judging by its grade, this white jade reaches a fourth-grade level.
Looking at the amount of white jade used in this hall, a thought crosses his mind: this powerful entity named Zhai Ge must have plundered from many treasuries!
It’s not that he is shallow-minded, but in his impression, any fourth-grade material is exceedingly rare.
Where has he ever seen fourth-grade white jade used for flooring and interior construction? How much fourth-grade white jade would this require?
However, he quickly realizes that he cannot calculate the required materials based on what he sees.
Perhaps the great hall before him was crafted from a small piece of fourth-grade white jade, and the powerful entity’s might makes it appear so magnificent.
Of course, all these are just Li Shiming’s guesses. By the six paths’ evaluation, this should be the ultimate ’Heavenly Dao.’
He looks beneath him, the white jade floor extending ahead, with stairs rising up to a chair made of white jade.
He cautiously takes a step forward and finds that nothing unusual occurs.
He continues walking forward, all the way to the foot of the stairs.
A phantom suddenly appears, seated on the white jade chair.
This is a young man; his eyes show a look of surprise as he gazes at Li Shiming.
“I did not expect the chosen successor to be merely a Golden Core cultivator!” the man says with a smile.
His voice carries a strange rhythm, as if it has a special connection with the entire hall, making it sound like the voice of nature itself.
Li Shiming hears the man refer to him as a Golden Core cultivator and realizes that the man in front of him must be the powerful Zhai Ge.
He can’t help but feel cautious, having encountered body seizing before and knowing how desperate Great Cultivators can be for survival.
“Junior Li Shiming greets Senior Zhai!” Yet, he still performs a respectful bow.
Such an existence could do anything he wishes, and Li Shiming hopes his speculation is wrong.
“No need to worry; I have already fallen, and this place is merely a spiritual avatar. Once a successor appears, this avatar will accomplish its mission and soon dissipate!” The spiritual avatar of Great Power Zhai Ge sees through Li Shiming’s thoughts and speaks with a smile.
“Li Shiming, your realm is too low; whether you can protect the inheritance depends on you. If you encounter danger, you can hide within the Grotto Heaven, but its opening is limited to once every thousand years. With your current realm entering the Grotto Heaven, your life span is unlikely to last until the next opening.
Since you passed the test, I will entrust you with the inheritance!” The spiritual avatar revealed a humane look of helplessness as it spoke.
Li Shiming listened silently without speaking.
He did not know what the inheritance was nor what awaited in the Grotto Heaven; whatever Great Power Zhai Ge said, he would accept it.
He had originally been worried that his cheating in the test might cause problems, but hearing the spiritual avatar’s words, it seems that the avatar has little decision-making power; despite its concerns about the inheritance, the test’s passing requires it to be handed over.
The spiritual avatar indeed appeared very helpless; the test of the Grotto Heaven is highly difficult, not just for Golden Core cultivators, but even Nascent Soul cultivators. Only top-notch talents could pass.
In reality, if there were multiple cultivators passing the inheritance, the spiritual avatar would not choose him.

Li Shiming’s realm is far too low; he first needs to ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage, a crucial checkpoint, as only becoming a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator meets the minimum requirements for the inheritance.
“Kneel down and formally acknowledge your master!” the spiritual avatar softly commanded.
Only then did Li Shiming realize that accepting Great Power Zhai Ge’s inheritance needed official acknowledgement.
He kneeled on the ground and kowtowed nine times until the spiritual avatar spoke.
“Rise, all of the master’s knowledge is within the inheritance; you can gradually explore it in the future!” The spiritual avatar extended a finger, which was several meters from Li Shiming’s forehead but seemed to traverse space and touch Li Shiming’s forehead.
Throughout the process, Li Shiming wanted to evade but couldn’t, as the finger seemed to possess some Heaven and Earth Rules, making it inevitable.
Contrary to Li Shiming’s expectation of massive data transmission, when the finger touched his forehead, a sphere of light appeared in his mind.
He could sense the sphere contained endless knowledge, yet it was like seeing flowers through mist, unable to discern clearly.
“This inheritance can be accessed at the Nascent Soul Stage; being chosen as my disciple by fate, I hope you can continue my legacy!” The spiritual avatar said, deeply glancing at Li Shiming.
“Master, this disciple will certainly accomplish it!” Li Shiming solemnly pledged.
“I will send the other cultivators who passed the test out to a thousand miles away; afterwards, it will depend entirely on you!” The spiritual avatar concluded.
The spiritual avatar smiled faintly and waved his hand, quickly causing his body to fade, as if this operation was consuming a considerable amount of energy.
