Soul Emperor Martial God

Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, at the very back.

There stood a colossal building right next to the residence of the Hall Master.

As an aside, the entire Royal Capital was vast, comparable to a prefecture with more than two hundred cities.

Therefore, the major forces within, be it Sects or mountain gates, occupied an extremely large area.

Like the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, which appeared to be just one building, it in fact covered an area no less than that of a large city.

Within were countless buildings and palace structures.

After all, the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall had to oversee all three hundred and sixty Sub Halls of the Flame Martial Kingdom.

Every day, numerous Demon Hunters and Martial Artists would come here to conduct business or issue tasks.

Of course, the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall could be divided into two parts.

The front part was where the hall staff worked.

Anyone could walk around there.

The back part was where the hall personnel rested.

Apart from the staff of the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, no one else was allowed to enter at will.

The Scrolls Room, Demon Hunting Hall treasury, and other important areas were all located in the back part.

The office of the Hall Master, as well as that of a few Sub Hall Masters, were also situated in the back part.

Returning to the main topic.

At this moment, the Hall Master and Xiao Yi were standing in front of that gigantic building at the back of the Main Hall.

"Inheritance Hall." Xiao Yi looked at the placard in the center of the huge building and muttered to himself.

Indeed, this was the Inheritance Hall.

The countless years of inheritance of the Demon Hunting Hall were all here.

It was natural for the Hall Master to bring Xiao Yi here to accept the inheritance.

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hall Master, can't the Demon Hunting Hall send someone else to attend that grand event?"

"Why?" the Hall Master asked, "You don't want to go, or do you have matters to attend to?"

"Not at all," Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "It's just that this junior feels the Demon Hunting Hall has plenty of Heavenly Talents and strong people."

"Though young, my experience is still shallow, perhaps the Hall Master could entrust this important task to someone else."

"Is that your only reason?" the Hall Master asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Then there's no need for further words." With a grand wave of his hand, the Hall Master immediately opened the protective Prohibition of the Inheritance Hall.

Suddenly, a massive Heaven and Earth Power immobilized Xiao Yi.

With Xiao Yi's current strength, he couldn't even budge.

With another wave of his hand, the Hall Master blasted Xiao Yi into the Inheritance Hall.

Xiao Yi stumbled, nearly falling over.

With a 'bang,' the door of the Inheritance Hall was shut.

Only a sentence was left behind, "Comprehend well. If you fail, don't bother coming out."

At that point, the Prohibition of the Inheritance Hall was activated again.

No one could enter, no one could leave.

Xiao Yi steadied himself, offering a wry smile.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze surveyed the Inheritance Hall.

The first thing that caught his eye was the Spiritual Tablets, densely packed and numbering in the thousands.

Each one belonged to an ancestor of the Demon Hunting Hall.

Every name inscribed there belonged to a strong person who once shook the continent.

Each Spiritual Tablet was enveloped in a faint green glow.

Xiao Yi felt it out and was immediately startled, "Such terrifying power."

The glow on each Spiritual Tablet was filled with massive power.

Those were the inheritances of those ancestors.

The Demon Hunting Hall's inheritance was not a singular one.

But, for a Comprehender, the level of inheritance they could obtain was completely dependant upon their own opportunities and talent.

At this time, in Xiao Yi's Perception, each inheritance on the Spiritual Tablets was extremely powerful.

The weakest was above the Earth Extreme Realm.

Being one of the oldest forces, the Demon Hunting Hall indeed had a profound foundation that was terrifyingly strong.

Xiao Yi did not waste time and sat down cross-legged.

Then, without any further actions, he simply sat in stillness.

Unlike other inheritances, the Demon Hunting Hall's inheritance could not be comprehended autonomously.

Instead, one had to release their Perception, and the inheritance on the Spiritual Tablets would automatically seek them out.

One's own Perception would resonate with the inheritance here.

Xiao Yi's perception had already been released.

In merely a moment, the thousands of inheritances within the hall all surged towards him.

The green lights, enveloping Xiao Yi in an instant, were continuously flitting about him.

Xiao Yi, his vision a blur, simply closed his eyes, observing these green lights only through his perception.

Thump… thump… thump…

A series of booming sounds suddenly rose.

The sounds weren't occurring outside.

But rather inside Xiao Yi's mind.

These green lights were colliding with Xiao Yi's perception, contending for dominance.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi was startled.

The power contained in each green light was immensely vast.

Thousands coming at him all at once, how terrifying.

A dizzying sensation came over Xiao Yi.

Gradually, this dizziness turned into pain.

This was what was referred to as resonance.

According to the customary process followed by past Hall Masters, the green lights would gradually recede.

To alleviate the collision with the Comprehender's perception, thus lessening the Comprehender's pain.

As the green lights gradually receded, the pain would lessen.

Of course, the green lights with the strongest power contained within them would be the first to recede.

Following that pattern, they would leave in decreasing order of strength, one by one.

Only when the number of green lights that had receded was within the range that the Comprehender could bear would the Comprehender begin to officially comprehend.

But back to the matter at hand.

At this moment, Xiao Yi's perception was colliding with these thousands of green lights.

Normally, when thousands of green lights surged at the same time, they would begin to rapidly diminish almost instantly.

Because no one could endure the 'attack' of thousands of green lights at once.

However, Xiao Yi was bearing it.

Perception was a method used by Martial Artists.

Bestowed by their Small World.

Nearly all the methods of a Martial Artist were bestowed by their Small World, such as perception, Sky-controlling Flight, manipulating Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, etc.

In other words, the strength of a Martial Artist's perception is related to the strength of their Small World.

This is also why the higher the Cultivation of a Martial Artist, the stronger their perception.

From the moment one enters the Mysterious Profundity Realm as a Martial Artist, they would have their Qi Spring.

While the size of the Qi Spring remains unchanged, the Small World would grow larger and stronger as one's Cultivation increases.

Naturally, the higher one's Cultivation, the stronger their perception.

Of course, there are other factors determining the strength of perception, but the strength of the Small World is a fairly important aspect.

But back to the matter at hand.

Xiao Yi was an anomaly; underneath his Small World, vast and terrifying, his perception was alarmingly strong.

This was also why he could sense others' Cultivation levels beyond his realm when his own Cultivation was low.

At this moment, the thousands of green lights attacking collectively couldn't harm his powerful perception, let alone his mind.

Correct, these green lights also had the characteristic of eroding the mind.

This was also a part of the Inheritance appraisal.

However, with Xiao Yi's Sword Heart as firm as a rock, it could not be shaken in the slightest.

At this time, the thousands of green lights were in a contention and stalemate with his perception.

The intense collisions caused the Spiritual Energy and Prohibitions within the hall to run amok.

Outside the Inheritance Hall.

The Hall Master was waiting there.

He couldn't see what was happening inside but heard the booming noises of the Prohibitions running wild.

"What is going on?" the Hall Master furrowed his brows.

"The comprehension of the Inheritance has obviously begun."

"But this incessant uproar of the Prohibitions continues."

He, of course, had also comprehended the Inheritance inside.

At that time, out of the 3900 green lights, he remained with 2800.

The remaining green lights contained the upper-tier Inheritances within the Inheritance Hall.

At that time, he was the number one Heavenly Talent of the Demon Hunting Hall.
