Lin Xiao was a bit intrigued as he didn't know much about powerful cultivator. At least, so far, there were only a few cultivators he knew.
The sentences… were written with vigor and emotion. It was clear that the one who made this place was more of a hotheaded person rather than cold.
And after living for hundreds, thousands of years, wouldn't one personality continued the same? It might be sharpened further because of the environment they had to face for countless of years.
Lin Xiao turned to the right and noticed that there was a hall with several doors. His eyes narrowed as he read the word in each of them.
Mountain, Heaven, Lake….
"What the hell is that element?" Lin Xiao was utterly stupefied when he saw the words there.
"This is a place for the unconventional elements and also the Emperor's Inheritance." Lin Hu was calm. "Some Secret Regions will prepare a place that's designated for them as it naturally only those who have the inheritance can pass. Oh, the other elements are also for from other mythical beast. You don't think that there are only dragons, right?"
Lin Xiao looked at the rows of words and shook his head. He sighed and took a step forward towards the Lake door and placed his hand there. Before long, the door shone and it opened.
'So it's opened by detecting the element in our body…'
Now he really wondered how the others were going to open their door if they were not familiar with the element.
Pushing the thoughts to the back, Lin Xiao stepped in and nearly fell down.
Splash!
He was stunned but he realized that he was now in the middle of a lake. The door where he came inside had disappeared. Just as he was about to ask for help, there was a laugher coming from the front.
"Hehehehe, the door is opened! That means someone from the inheritance path is coming."
"There's a living being here?" Lin Xiao was stunned.
"It's prerecorded voice." Lin Hu was calm. He was already in countless secret regions. At least, based on the memory he inherited from his predecessor. He knew that while there were a lot of powerful cultivator…
None of them could live forever.
This voice was most likely only prerecorded voice from when the one who build this place came here and designed everything. It was most likely he was feeling exhilarated from thinking that there might be someone from the inheritance path to come here.
"What an honor! What an honor! I was only following the order, tsk. They're asking me to build a path designated for those with inheritance path because ordinary inheritance wouldn't suit you.
Anyway, this is path… hmm, which one? Oh Lake.
Lake…
Those from Lake inheritance need to have strong soul and mind because that's one of the greatest source for you to heal other people. In addition, your healing ability is also related to how good you can control your Qi.
For the rest of your time here, you have to cross the lake on this small boat. Control your Qi so that you can reach the other side. Hehehe, every time you fail, you'll return back to the starting point.
As for your time limit… Tsk, you have a month's time and there will be 7 stages in total. Good luck passing them you brat whoever you will be in the future. Ah, how I wish that I can live forever…"
It was then the voice faded.
Lin Xiao noticed that he was now standing on top of a small raft that was on the verge of crumbling. He understood that he had to use his Qi to keep the raft together while moving forward.
But…
Where was the finish line?
"The finish line will be extended further and further with each stage. Don't waste any time and just start. If you fail, you will have to return back here and recover your Qi first before you can start." Lin Hu added the explanation.
Lin Xiao nodded.
He was thinking about another matter. 1 month's time… Did the Secret Region really stay open for such a long time?
However, it didn't really matter to him since he was already here. What important was for him to start controlling his Qi and began to move.
It was not that hard to keep the raft from staying intact. But what frustrated Lin Xiao the most was the fact that the raft was going so slow. It was to the point that Lin Xiao wished to use movement technique to rush forward.
However, it was deemed to be impossible.
'Calm down.'
Lin Xiao recalled that Calming Heart Technique inside his mind and calmly tried to regulate his Qi as much as possible.
After some time, Lin Xiao finally see the shore and noticed that he still had spare Qi left. However, Lin Hu's warning repeated inside his mind.
Each Stage will take longer than the previous one.
The first and the second stage was easy for Lin Xiao.
But the third one was a near fail.
On the fourth one, Lin Xiao failed once and repeated it, being more careful and all before he succeeded.
On the fifth one, Lin Xiao failed when he was still a distance away, repeating the same set of movement over and over until he finally reached the end.
For the sixth one, Lin Xiao utilized what he had learned from the fifth to make sure that he could control the flow of the Qi and somehow succeeded on the second try.
On the seventh one, the increase of the distance nearly made him vomit blood. It was far longer than the sixth and he failed when he was still far away. Looking at the distance in front of him, Lin Xiao wanted to cry.
Splash!
Falling into the water, Lin Xiao was then taken back to where he started. He looked at the black sky and started to recuperate.
