Xu Mingxi stared at the gate in front of him and had a few guesses about the situation in Sun Moon City. He thought this must be a test prepared by the gods, and that the entire city was originally an illusory existence.
Several people looked at each other, and Xu Mingxi led the way into the vortex.
But the moment Xu Mingxi stepped into that vortex, the gate suddenly disappeared. The three elders looked at the disappearing Xu Mingxi and the gate, their faces changed, and then they sighed, thinking that they didn't have this opportunity.
The three of them built two houses nearby, where they would wait until Xu Mingxi reappeared or they died.
At the moment Xu Mingxi stepped into the vortex, a token in the deepest part of the Sun-Moon Empire's secret vault suddenly began to emit light, with a sun pattern on one side and a silver moon pattern on the other.
The soul master guarding the treasure house immediately reported the matter, and the two titles of the royal Sun bloodline and the Silver Moon bloodline were dispatched together. This was the deepest hidden power of the Sun and Moon royal families.
They stared eagerly at the lighting tokens before them, with a hint of conviction in their eyes. Their old hands trembled as they tried to touch the token, but before they could touch it, they were bounced off by the gold and silver light, which made them sigh deeply.
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Zilong, arrived and saw the background of the two veins of the Sun and Silver Moon. He frowned slightly at first, then looked at the token and asked what was going on.
"At your age, it's too late for you two to enjoy retirement in your clan. This little commotion in the secret vault must have caught the attention of you two."
"Xu Zilong, you..."
"Your Majesty, it's not that we want to interfere in the management of the Sun Moon Empire, but the matter behind this token is too important."
"Oh~, how could I not know that inside this secret safe is a treasure that you value so much."
The silver-robed old man stopped the golden-robed old man who was about to attack, looked at the descendants in front of him who were not one of them optimistic but ended up becoming the emperor, and shook his head.
It was indeed their fault back then. After the death of this little guy's parents, he spent two or three very difficult years in the family. No one expected that he would be able to awaken the legendary martial soul of the Xu family, the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon.
"Your Majesty, this token was passed down by my Xu family's first ancestor. It is said that this token is related to legendary gods. When this token lights up, perhaps someone has inherited the legacy of the gods. You'd better pay attention to it."
The two old men left, leaving Xu Zilong standing there alone, with a faint look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
...
"Big sister, he came in."
"So what? There are tests waiting for him inside."
"Are we going to just ignore the younger generation of your family?"
"We've already given them the Sun Martial Spirit and the Silver Moon Martial Spirit. What more do you want? As long as both of us are alive, they will not perish. Whether they become strong or weak depends on them."
...
Xu Mingxi walked into the black vortex and felt dizzy. When he woke up again, he was in a valley full of chirping birds and flowers.
Looking up, the silver sun and moon appeared together, with red clouds above, like a beautiful sunset.
"Challenger, welcome to Sun Moon Valley. Complete the next level and you will get what you want."
A figure wearing a silver hooded robe suddenly appeared in front of Xu Mingxi. The golden patterns on the robe glittered in the sunlight.
"Senior, this is the place of inheritance of the gods."
"Yes, I'm the high priest here. If you make it to the end, you'll have the chance to meet the Sun God and the Moon God."
Xu Mingxi's heart burned. The mark in the sea of spirituality did indeed point to the inheritance of the gods, and there were two of them. However, he soon calmed down. Although his inheritance was good, he still had to obtain it first. The inheritance of the gods is not without danger.
"Senior, what should I do?"
"Follow me."
A golden light appeared in the high priest's hand, and he casually drew a line in the open space in front of him. In an instant, a space channel appeared. There was darkness behind the channel. The high priest entered first, and Xu Mingxi followed him without hesitation.
As soon as he entered, Xu Mingxi knew that the high priest must not have deliberately hidden the scenery behind that space passage, but all that was behind it was darkness.
The high priest raised his left hand, and three bright points of light appeared in his hand, one gold, one silver, and one gold-red, rotating slowly around his left hand. This was the only light amidst the darkness.
"Challenger, remember these three points of light. You must find them in this darkness."
Xu Mingxi stared at the three points of light and felt the scent of starlight, moonlight, and sunlight from them. Before he had time to think about it, the high priestess had thrown away the spots of light and disappeared into the darkness.
The atmosphere darkened, and the figure of the high priest disappeared, leaving only a single sentence.
"Challenger, use your perception to find it. Good luck."
Xu Mingxi floated in the darkness. He could move according to his thoughts, but he couldn't see anything. This was pure darkness, which was even more terrifying than not being able to see someone's hand in front of his face.
Since he couldn't see anything anyway, he simply closed his eyes and submerged his mind into the sea of spirituality, while recalling the feelings that the three points of light had just given him.
Starlight, moonlight, and sunlight should have been the things Xu Mingxi knew best, but he had never cared about them in his normal use.
They were simply treated as a type of energy and moved at will, but no one ever considered what characteristics they possessed or what they represented.
Xu Mingxi was tested in the darkness, the three elders waiting outside, but the Sun-Moon Empire was in complete chaos.
Ever since Xu Zilong learned that the token was lit and that it was likely that someone had obtained the inheritance of the gods, he had become enraged. He was clearly the most talented person on the continent and had achieved great ambitions, so why didn't the gods choose him?
He issued an order, ordering all ministers, officials, city lords, and family heads to pay close attention to whether there were any unusual phenomena around him, and whether there were people who were not from the royal family and used the power of the silver sun and moon.
The powerful people from all over the place were completely confused by this order. Other than the royal family, who else in the Sun-Moon Empire could use these two energies? However, they could not defy His Majesty's order and delegate the task to their subordinates. After all, they didn't need to investigate it themselves.
The end result was of course nil. When Xu Mingxi used sun and moonlight, it was at the location of the gods' judgment and didn't leak out at all. The three elders were completely unaware of that power.
However, when the Ninth Elder went out to understand the surrounding situation, he heard this order and immediately knew that it was most likely caused by Xu Mingxi.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the three elders only went out to buy supplies once every six months, and the rest of the time they waited for the black vortex to reappear.
