Chapter 621: Back from the dead
Max, too, stood still, his expression calm and unreadable. But internally, he was anything but passive. His Three Dimensional Body ability had expanded his perception outward like an invisible net, covering the entirety of the glowing chamber. Every glowing orb, every movement, every whisper of aura was within his reach.
And in that instant, he could feel it—several of the glowing lights subtly resonating with his presence, swaying just a bit closer to him than the others. There wasn’t just one. There were dozens. Yet, Max didn’t move.
He knew something others didn’t—he had observed. From how the others interacted with the lights, it was clear: each person could only take one inheritance. Just one. That made his decision critical. With so many that acknowledged him, he had to be cautious. He needed to find the one that didn’t just suit his power, but elevated it.
The one inheritance that resonated with his very soul and offered the highest value in return. And so, while others rushed or stumbled into their choice, Max stood patiently, silently scanning through the countless possibilities, letting his instincts—and his Three Dimensional perception—guide him toward the one inheritance that could be most suitable for him.
And so, time trickled by, slow and silent like the drift of ancient sand through an hourglass. All around the hall, excited murmurs and gasps began to ripple through the once-quiet space.
Experts from the Lower Domain, many of whom had only heard of inheritances in legends passed down by their elders, were now claiming them with trembling hands and tearful joy.
Some leapt up with uncontained excitement, overwhelmed at the thought of gaining an inheritance that would shape their cultivation path for decades to come.
Others accepted orbs more quietly, their expressions mixed with satisfaction and curiosity—even if the inheritance wasn’t perfect, it was still a blessing beyond anything they had ever imagined. In a world where inheritances were nearly extinct, to walk away with one was a miracle in itself.
Amid the pockets of celebration and murmured gratitude, Aria, Elias, and the two Xuan Family commanders were visibly content. Each of them now held a soft glow between their hands, proof that they had secured an inheritance that resonated with their path.
