Guys, I apologize for the delay in the chapters, I got sick and have been in the hospital for the last few days. But, as of today, I will continue to update the novel daily!

Victor was still hiding his face under the hood as he slowly approached the stone stele, his expression was quite calm while in his thoughts he was crying.
Whether he got this inheritance or not, he would still have to go outside, where demonic sects enemies would obviously be waiting for him, Victor hoped that the sect master had sent someone who could protect him.
If not, he didn't know what to do...
Shaking his head, he touched the stele, waiting for a reaction.
"Hmm?" He frowned, several breaths having passed and the stele did not respond in any way, as if his physique was below heavenly rank.
The young practitioners around him said nothing considering that he was one of them, practitioners with whom heaven did not do justice.
"Okay brother, you're as much of a loser as we are, but..." Said the young man behind Victor as he suddenly froze.
The stele, which had not reacted before, suddenly trembled, the drums began to sound several times more powerful than ever, the shining light from the stele suddenly pierced the sky and the earth.
[Body of divine rank, allowed to enter the secret realm!]
As in all other results, after the inscription on the stele appeared, Victor's figure was swallowed by light and he entered the secret realm.
Victor disappeared, but all the cultivators left behind were stunned.
As everyone knows, no one in this world has such a rare physique except one man...
"This demon has been here all this time..." Not only the faces of the young cultivators but also the sect envoys and protectors turned ashy at this moment, they knew that Victor was in the late stage of Earthly Ascension(2), which put him on a par with the best geniuses of the higher sects.
But, if such a person has entered the secret realm the purpose of which is to find an heir to the ancient emperor's inheritance, do their disciples stand any chance?
Only after a fleeting shock did the envoys decide their first action was to report to their respective sects; such things could not be hidden.
But, unlike all humans, one man was smiling brightly, and he was none other than Elder Wu.
He had only recently arrived here with the disciples of the Temple of the Dark Moon and the sect master reported that the location of the secret realm had been revealed and that Victor had already gone there some time ago.
Looking at the fierce expressions on the faces of the sect envoys, he grinned.
"The rise of the Temple of the Dark Moon is unstoppable." - murmured the excited elder.

Southern Region. The Boundless Lotus Sect.
An elderly woman was peacefully cultivating in a lotus pose, but at that moment she suddenly opened her eyes and shifted her gaze to the border between the eastern and western regions.
This woman was none other than Xi Xuan, she was the one who took Mikena into her sect and even granted her the position of the holy maiden.
"He really does have a divine physique." Looking at the pillar of light that rose to the heavens, she sighed heavily.
"If he gets the ancient emperor's legacy..." She didn't continue to think about it as it was clear what would happen.
"What a pity that I found Mikena too late." Thinking of her apprentice, the corners of her lips quivered slightly, after taking her on as an apprentice she realized that cultivation only took second place in her heart, all thoughts were of one man.
But unfortunately Mikena never said who he was, all Xi Xuan knew was that according to Mikena, Xue Yan, the master of the Temple of the Dark Moon, stole her man.
"Don't let me find out who you are otherwise..." She was speaking about Victor, she wanted to kill him, not knowing of his identity, but unfortunately she didn't know yet that he was the one who Mikena thought of for days and nights.

Northern Region. The Empire of the Blue Wind. The Imperial Palace.
A bright column of light as well as the sound of drums echoed throughout the hall.
For a moment the entire hall was enveloped in silence.
The demon that the ministers had feared so much made its existence known again, only after the light pillar disappeared and the sound of the drums stopped echoing, the ministers, who until that moment had been silent with the news suddenly began to shout.
Chaos ensued.
"Your Majesty, this demon has already entered the secret realm, he must be stopped no matter the price!"
"If he gets the ancient emperor's inheritance, who will be able to stop him if something were to go awry?"
"The Dark Moon Temple is already too strong on its own. What happens if another monster emerges in it!?"
"Your Majesty, we can no longer watch this!"
The counselors and ministers kneeled and shouted out similar speeches one after another, they did not understand why the empress hesitated and did not give the order to obliterate this enemy of theirs.
Some of their suggestions even went as far as to destroy the whole Yang Clan.
Previously, many high-ranking members of the empire did not believe in the existence of a divine rank physique, believing that the Temple of the Dark Moon did it on purpose to destabilize the empress.
But, now all the facts were the evidence, looking at the reaction of the stele and the fact that this man had already penetrated into the secret realm they panicked.
Now the territory of the northern region was divided in half between the Dark Moon Temple and the Blue Wind Empire, but if this demon was given the time to grow in strength, what would happen?
It would be a matter of time before the empire would remain only in history, a stepping stone that the demon had stepped over on his way to the top. Such an outcome they could not allow!
But, all the empress did upon learning of this man's physique was order them not to approach him, many did not understand why and some even believed that she was afraid of the master of the Temple of the Dark Moon.
You could say that her reputation was a bit ruined by her own subordinates.
Looking at the shouting people in the hall, the empress felt a migraine coming on, these people only shouted without offering any sensible options.
Kill Victor?
They didn't realize that if she dared to do anything to him, the empire would come to total ruin in less than 24 hours. Behind this man was not only the master of the Dark Moon Temple, who was on the same level as her, if not higher.
But also Su Rong, who was also on the same level as them, if Xue Yan protected him as the future head of the sect, then Su Rong....
She didn't even have to think, she was just obsessed with him. Pitting two monsters against her alone was the stupidest decision, if it ever came to be. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
"Silence!" - The Empress said in a cold tone.
