Chapter 1181: Chapter 1177: The Reply of the Ancient Inheritance

If Ginsengfruit hadn’t confirmed that his ears were fine, he would have thought the whisper he heard earlier was an illusion.

The attendant had long gone, with not even a silhouette in sight, but Ginsengfruit’s thoughts were rapidly spinning.

He couldn’t believe that person was merely making idle conversation.

Thinking about the High-level Talisman Paper he had casually given away as compensation, Ginsengfruit seemed to understand a bit...

Heaven knows he gave away those talisman papers just to show that he was not lacking in wealth.

Especially with him under the guise of Yun Ran, this move was to let everyone know that Yun Ran is generous, Yun Ran is not to be messed with...

Unexpectedly, he even gained extra rewards.

Ginsengfruit lowered his eyelids, preventing anyone from seeing the turbulent emotions in his eyes.

The person’s warning coincided with Yun Ran’s previous suspicions, indicating that there really was an issue with this so-called selection competition.

And this secret was known only by a few.

Yet that Elder Kang, back then, so earnestly gave the invitation to Yun Ran.

An old thief never dies, this saying never deceives!

Suppressing his emotions, Ginsengfruit then raised his head again, gazing directly at the top of the high platform, which was the location of Moonlight City’s upper echelon.

Elder Kang, who gave Yun Ran the invitation, was also among them.

With Yun Ran’s face, Ginsengfruit looked over with a somewhat cold gaze, though circumstances did not allow for fear of disrupting the host’s plans.

Otherwise, Ginsengfruit wanted to pull a weapon from his arsenal and directly blast the opposite high platform!

Hearing the urging sound in his ear, Ginsengfruit lifted his foot and headed towards the center of the competition.

In his heart he was secretly thinking: Old thing, I’ll come back to settle scores with you!

Once Ginsengfruit stepped into the competition center, a pressure directly attacked his body.

The originally light body now felt like being in the Gravity Cultivation Room he once stayed in.

Each step, each bit of movement was incomparably difficult.

Soon, a beam of light enveloped all of them, and a tyrannical prohibition principle was directly imprinted into their Divine Sense.

Most of the people entering this competition center were selected talents.

However, very few could withstand both the pressure and the prohibition.

Except for Ginsengfruit, the others directly fainted.

Ginsengfruit: ...

Now, he seemed to understand a bit why that attendant had told him not to win; it turned out there was truly a huge pit here.

It’s just that the attendant didn’t know this so-called preliminary wasn’t really a competition, but rather a test.

A test to see if those sent up were qualified for the next round of selection.

The pressure was to limit their abilities, while the prohibition cut off any possibility of information being communicated.

Such a prohibition was probably the strongest type apart from the Heavenly Dao Restriction on Xuan Chu and the prohibition of Qingfeng Temple.

There was no choice but to comply.

Even those who were affected by the prohibition here, even if they weren’t afraid of death and wanted to send messages back to their family or sect, couldn’t do it.

This prohibition was directly imprinted on their Divine Soul, and death couldn’t bypass it.

No wonder no bad news about this so-called selection competition ever leaked out over the years.

Just when Ginsengfruit was thinking whether to follow suit and pretend to faint.

An unexpected buzzing sound suddenly appeared.

Ginsengfruit was startled by this small change, and if it were the past, he might have slipped up due to panic.

But having lived as a human for a long time, and following Yun Ran for so many years now.

Though he hadn’t learned other things, he had mastered being calm and composed, especially when situations were troublesome or dangerous, to ten out of ten.

As the buzzing sound arose, outside the competition center, people’s reactions were completely different.

What they could see was entirely different from what Ginsengfruit, deep inside, was experiencing.

Those on the high platform in Moonlight City all stood up in a panic.

They had forgotten the original purpose of holding this so-called selection banquet, treating it as a traditional project.

As for how many people would die or how many Dark Master talents would be lost, it had nothing to do with them; after all, they had compensated enough.

But now, the anomaly at the center of the field awakened the deep memories and secrets passed down through generations.

As the buzzing sound rang out, a colorful light scattered in the sky as if welcoming something.

Usually, such a phenomenon only occurred when a great treasure or an incredible inheritance secret was triggered.

The extent of surprise rivaled that of Er Dan’s shell-breaking commotion.

Er Dan, who was munching on grass, heard the response from ancient heritage and the colorful light descending from the sky.

The grass in its mouth fell to the ground.

Stunned, it looked toward the competition center and almost instantly confirmed that the light was cast for ’Yun Ran’.

As a vessel capable of merging part of the essence of the Heavenly Dao, Er Dan was sensitive to many matters.

Like now, this response from the unknown ancient heritage might bring huge trouble to ’Yun Ran’.

Without thinking, Er Dan stood up, abandoning the grass it had cherished deeply moments ago.

It sprinted towards the competition center.

Even if it sometimes felt Yun Ran was a bit too strict, almost wanting to peck Yun Ran a few times.

But it couldn’t watch ’Yun Ran’ being plotted against!

The others barely had time to react before they saw a fleeting shadow dashing towards the competition center.

In just the blink of an eye, Er Dan was beneath everyone’s eyelids, rushing in; they didn’t even have time to respond, let alone stop it.

Those on the high platform were instantly furious upon witnessing this scene.

After so many years, they’d finally found someone the inheritance could respond to, yet they couldn’t make sense of their scrambled thoughts.

And now, someone came rushing in to cause trouble, wasn’t this a blatant slap in the face?

"Outrageous, outrageous, how could there be such rule-breaking people during the selection!"

Er Dan moved so fast that those far away on the high platform couldn’t even see if it was a person rushing over.

However, what alarmed them even more was that the normally functioning competition couldn’t be stopped midway, let alone someone rushing in...
