When Huang Xie stepped onto this floor, he was shocked to see that there was nothing here.
No, it wasn’t that there was nothing here.
It was just that there was nothing that he expected to see here.
Each floor of the trial that he had taken had a statue in the room somewhere.
It was that statue that represented the trial and gave him the tasks that he was supposed to do.
It was that statue that had given him quite a bit of trouble.
But now, that statue was nowhere in sight, which was why he couldn’t help feeling strange.
Without the statue, there was no way forward.
So what was happening here?
Of course, the reason why the room wasn’t empty was because there was someone else who was here. This was the only other thing that was in this room with him and it wasn’t a person that he was unfamiliar with.
The moment that he saw this person, his face actually lit up because it was a person that he wanted to see.
It was Xiao Ming.
When she saw him, her face also lit up before she looked around the room again with a wary look.
The two of them slowly made their way over to each other while being wary of anything that changed in the room. It was as if they expected something to happen at any moment with the way that they moved towards each other.
But in the end, there wasn’t a single thing that happened as they came to each other’s side.
Still, even then, they didn’t let their guards down.
Huang Xie asked, “Did you see anything?”
Xiao Ming shook her head and said, “No, you?”
Huang Xie also shook his head in response before the two of them started looking around the room again.
However, this time, they were back to back with each other.
It was clear that they trusted each other with the way that they were standing.
It was just that there really wasn’t anything that was here.
The room wasn’t that big of a room, so it wasn’t as if there was any place for whatever it was that was here to hide.
So what were they supposed to do here?
“Could it be that we have to wait for it?” Huang Xie asked all of a sudden.
Xiao Ming slightly knitted her brows before slowly giving a nod as if she agreed with him.
The two of them didn’t let their guards down for even a second as they just waited to see what would happen around them.
It was only after fifteen minutes that a voice finally said…
“There’s no need to be so tense. It just took us a while to stop those that were watching you from watching any longer.”
“Honey, you were right about them. They really seem like a good couple.”
Huang Xie and Xiao Ming’s faces turned red the moment that they heard this.
Then before either of them could react, there were two figures that suddenly appeared in front of them.
One of them they recognized since it had the same appearance as the statues that had been scattered all over the tower. The other one was unfamiliar to them since they had never seen this person before.
However, they were surprised by this second person.
The first person had an ordinary appearance and the second person…was the complete opposite of this person.
It wasn’t that she was ugly, it was just that she was too beautiful.
It was like she was a goddess who had descended to earth with how beautiful she was.
Though she was this beautiful, she seemed like she was very close with the normal looking man.
With the way that the two of them stood, it was clear that the two of them were a couple.
This really was too shocking since neither Huang Xie or Xiao Ming had expected this.
But after seeing them like this, Xiao Ming could guess who they were.
These two were most likely the ones that had created this tower.
In the story that this normal looking man had told her before, they were a couple that had made this tower of trials together since they wanted to nurture the younger generation. It was just that the normal looking man had never told her that she looked like this…
Xiao Ming still couldn’t believe it either.
The two of them didn’t hide their feelings at all with the looks on their faces.
Just a single look was more than enough to tell what they were thinking.
However, the two figures didn’t seem to care at all about the way that these two were looking at them. Instead, they were just looking at the two of them with interested looks, like they had found something to play with.
After looking at them for a bit, the female figure said, “It seems like they still haven’t taken the final step yet.”
The male figure gave a nod before saying, “It seems like there’s still something holding them back.”
Xiao Ming was the one that cut them off by saying, “It’s not like that. We’re fellow disciples under the same master, that’s it.”
The two figures looked at Xiao Ming when they heard this before revealing smiles like they thought otherwise.
Xiao Ming had an awkward look on her face when she saw them looking at her like this, but the two of them didn’t keep pushing this issue.
Instead, the man said with a serious look, “You should know the reason why we created this tower, but there was another reason why we created this tower as well.”
The woman nodded as she said, “Since we were never able to have children, we wanted to see if we could find someone that we could take as our child. So other than this tower being used to train the younger generation, it’s also a trial to find one that we can call our successor.”
Both Xiao Ming and Huang Xie looked at each other with surprised looks, as if they didn’t expect to hear this.
However, they could both understand what these two were trying to say.
If they were telling them this, it meant that they found the two of them likeable and were most likely choosing them as successors.
The man and woman both smiled when they saw Huang Xie and Xiao Ming acting like this.
Both of them came forward to stand in front of the two before talking to them individually.
It seemed that this wasn’t a shared inheritance, it seemed like they both had something that they wanted to pass down. And it seemed like they had both chosen their own successor between them.
The man had chosen Xiao Ming and the woman had chosen Huang Xie.
The two of them didn’t hold back in telling them what they had chosen as their qualifications for their successors.
“A powerful and beautiful woman, just like my darling.”
“A handsome and courageous man, just like my honey.”
Both of them were looking for people that matched what they thought their lover was like.
Though there was nothing wrong with the man’s description of the woman, there was something wrong with the woman’s description of the man.
Both Huang Xie and Xiao Ming wanted to ask the woman if there was something wrong with her eyes. After all, there was no way that the man could be considered handsome…
Still, beauty was in the eyes of the beholder…
So if she said this, there was nothing for them to argue with her about.
Since they had both chosen their successors, the only thing that was left was for them to pass on their inheritances.
It turned out to be their techniques.
Huang Xie and Xiao Ming were both surprised to see these techniques.
However, the reason why they were surprised wasn’t for what one thought.
Instead of being surprised by the level of the techniques, what they were surprised by was…how these techniques weren’t at the same level as the techniques that they currently cultivated.
It seemed like their current cultivation techniques were of a higher level than the one that these two offered them.
The man and woman were shocked to see this, but they admitted that it was true when they heard about the techniques that these two currently cultivated.
They were both shocked to hear these techniques since they had never heard of them before.
“If we had these techniques in the past…”
The woman patted the man on the shoulder and said, “It’s not our era, so we can’t do anything about this. The young people will always surpass the old, so we should be happy for them.”
The man gave a nod before saying, “You can keep our techniques and do what you want with them. Other than that, I would say that you can take our tower with you, but I doubt that you’ll be able to do that.”
The woman nodded with a smile, “The one that controls this tower most likely won’t give it up to you and we can’t do anything to help you as soul fragments.”
The man then said, “If you ever have the chance to take it from them, then we’ll give you two full control of this tower. But before that, all we can give you is this.”
Both of them raised their hands and released a ball of light that entered the hands of Xiao Ming and Huang Xie.
After those balls of light entered their hands, there were marks that appeared on their hands.
