But after waiting for a long time, it was quiet in the dark well, without any movement.

Just when Pei Ling was doubting, a strong suction force suddenly came from underneath the black well.

He had no resistance at all, and was instantly dragged down the well with a knife.

A dark color passed quickly before his eyes. Soon, the scene changed, and Pei Ling found that he had arrived in an empty valley.

This valley, just like the outside of the White Palace, is full of desolation and silence that has been turned into sand by the weather. Broken stone pillars, torn statues, dying long steps... Pei Ling only made a slight movement, and the air flow he stirred up caused them to instantly move.

in between, collapsing into sand.

Looking around, he suddenly raised his head and walked up the tall forest-white pillars. What he originally thought were pillars were the legs of a giant skeleton.

It was as high as a mountain. Even if Pei Ling raised his head to the extreme, he could only see its chin clearly, but not its general face.

The giant is sitting on a large white throne. This throne is engraved with patterns of hundreds of races. On both sides of the throne, there are slightly smaller white seats. On these seats, a single image of a foreign race is engraved.

, are all empty at the moment, bathed in the dim skylight, revealing a distant and desolate atmosphere.

Right at the giant's feet, there was a long table that made people run on it.

On top of the long case, there are some scattered things.

These things were dim and dull, and seemed to be just some worthless sundries, but when Pei Ling scanned them with his mind, just like the black well before, he would not be able to detect their existence unless he saw them with the naked eye.

Pei Ling carefully looked at the giant skeleton in front of him. This skeleton should be the owner of the ancient ruins here.

However, the other party is now a withered skeleton, and must have been dead for tens of thousands of years...

Then, his eyes fell on those obscure objects, and he immediately realized that these were the treasures needed for the monument mission.

The mission target was right in front of him, but Pei Ling did not approach rashly. Instead, he summoned puppets and resentful souls to explore the way, and made them circle around the long case for several times.

It was dangerous, so he walked step by step towards the giant's feet.

Halfway through, a powerful aura suddenly came from the giant!

This aura is very ancient, with a clear sense of decay.

But among the decay, there is a gloomy feeling that is difficult to describe.

Pei Ling immediately stopped. He looked at the giant's skeleton and immediately guessed in his heart that this was the remaining will of the giant!

This ancient monument is in dilapidated condition.

The other party's withered bones have been sitting here for who knows how many years.

However, the remaining will is still like substance, heavy and creepy.

Pei Ling immediately used the [Cicada Breath Technique] to hide all the aura around him, and at the same time took out the Void Heaven Realm Seed, ready to escape at any time.

At this moment, two bloody flames slowly lit up in the giant skull's eyes, as if the former war king had opened his eyes again and returned to the world.

"Kneel down." The skull opened and closed its chin, and a majestic and irresistible voice sounded like thunder.

Hearing this, Pei Ling immediately understood that the [Cicada Breath Technique] had no effect on the giant's will.

The other party's cultivation level is several levels higher than his.

Even if there is only a remnant of will left, it is not something he can compete with now.

Pei Ling frowned. In this situation, if he didn't kneel, he would probably die. He was not allowed to have any extra choices!

However, he is currently doing a true mission, and there may be senior officials of Chongming Sect watching in the dark.

The Chongming Sect is not the Liulu Dynasty. As a genius of the human race, it is absolutely taboo to kneel down to a foreign race in order to survive!

When he won the first prize in the outer sect competition, ten tribes knelt down to congratulate him. At that time, the supervisor of the palace encouraged him in public. He once said that he hoped that he would follow the footsteps of the ancestors of the Holy Sect and continue to enslave other tribes, slaughter the world, and bring glory to the world.

The prestige of the Holy Sect [Note: Chapter 230 of Volume 1.]!

This shows the Chongming Sect’s attitude towards foreigners.

It can be summed up in two words: slavery.

Yes, it was too easy all the way here before. It was not as difficult as I imagined to have a narrow escape from death and to be shocked every step of the way.

Obviously, those are just the prelude. This scene should be the real test of the true mission!

He must not kneel now!

Thinking of this, Pei Ling took a deep breath, straightened his back even more, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Pei Ling, a disciple of the Chongming Sect, has met my seniors, and I would like to apologize for any intrusion."

After hearing the words, the giant will remained silent for a few breaths, and then suddenly, a powerful force suddenly descended.

Pei Ling suddenly felt his shoulders sink, as if tens of thousands of mountains were pressing down on him in an instant!

With his current level of cultivation, he simply could not withstand such a huge force. He was instantly pressed to his knees, with skin cracking all over his body, blood vessels bursting out, and blood splattering!

Pei Ling immediately felt that something was wrong with the situation. Then he heard the giant's will roar like thunder and spoke again: "Now, I give you a chance to survive."

※※※

Chongming Zong.

Deep in the Overwatch Hall.

The four of them looked at the picture in the crystal mirror.

The bloody sword energy slowly subsided, and Pei Ling successfully defeated the last alien.

Li Wuding immediately felt relieved, the overall situation was decided, now he just needed to be prepared for Su's attack!

Just when he was about to speak, the scene in the painting changed and Pei Ling was pulled into a dim valley.

"I wonder what Pei Ling will choose?" Upon seeing this, Si Hongyanshao said with a hint of curiosity.

There are quite a few treasures left behind by the War King of the Longbo clan, but after the opening of the monuments over the years, there are not many left.

Of course the three families knew what those treasures were.

Right now, no matter which one Pei Ling chooses, it will not affect his ability to obtain the true successor status.

However, this mission, which was given a ten-year deadline, ended so quickly. Si Hongyanshao couldn't help but feel a little bored. At this moment, he couldn't help but push the tea bowl in front of him and suggested with a smile, "Should we make a bet?"

Li Wuding said: "Okay, I bet on him... huh?"

The Lord of the Supervisory Palace also frowned, and when he pinched the spell in his hand, he saw ripples appearing in the crystal mirror, but for a moment, Pei Ling still stood there, motionless.

Li Wuding suddenly frowned, and Si Hongyanshao and Su Yingya also noticed something was wrong.

The palace master looked grim and fired a series of spells again, trying to adjust the perspective of the picture and find out the reason. However, no matter how hard he tried, the scene of Pei Ling entering the valley for the first time remained in the crystal mirror, motionless and without any change.

Seeing this scene, Li Wuding's expression suddenly darkened. It wasn't that Pei Ling didn't move, but that the scene was frozen!

The Ming Bead that Pei Ling carries on his body is matched with the most precious treasure of the Overwatch Palace, Wanhua Ming. It is also used by the Overwatch Palace to witness the entire process of the other party's promotion to the position of True Successor, ensuring that the selection of the True Successor is fair and impartial.

It will be faked.

But now, Mingzhu has been cut off from the connection with Wanhua Minghejing!

Realizing this, a hint of evil quickly appeared between Li Wuding's brows, and he quickly stood up and left without saying anything.

Su Yingya narrowed his eyes, then thought of something, stood up quickly, and left immediately.

Soon, only the palace master and Si Hongyanshao were left in the palace.
Chapter completed!
