Martial Master

The Grand Elder felt a lingering fear: "You have obtained the inheritance of a certain powerful figure from the Ancestral Ancient Clan. This is your opportunity, and this matter must be kept secret. No one else should know about it besides me and Mu Ye. From now on, let it be as if nothing happened. Otherwise, if certain powerful figures find out, they might come after you and forcibly take away your fortune."

"The allure of the Ancestral Ancient Ruins is even quite tempting for some peak Heavenly Saints. If they kill you and seize your Ancestral Ancient body, they might be able to steal the most extraordinary fortunes of the ancient Ancestral Ancient Clan. Therefore, you must be extremely low-key and cautious," the Grand Elder advised.

"I understand, Master," Qin Chen lowered his head.

"Very good." The Grand Elder nodded, "However, I am still shocked that you can withstand the power of the Ancestral Ancient Clan. The strength of that clan's peak Heavenly Saints is far more terrifying than mine. That you could obtain his inheritance without falling is truly a miracle. Let me see how powerful the force within your body really is."

The Grand Elder extended his palm. Qin Chen's heart trembled, realizing that the Grand Elder was about to conduct a final probe. He did not resist and quickly extended his hand, allowing the Grand Elder to place it on his wrist.

A surge of power from the Grand Elder directly entered Qin Chen's body, causing him to tremble. He immediately sensed the boundless, powerful, and majestic Ancestral Ancient aura surging within him. Every cell was crystal clear, containing astonishing power capable of suppressing the ages.

"Sky Patching Technique, Heaven Stealing Art!"

Qin Chen activated the Sky Patching Technique, and in an instant, the Sky Patching Hammer evolved around him, retracting the power within Qin Chen, concealing it, and masking the terrifying aura of his Ancestral Ancient body.

In an instant, the Ancestral Ancient aura within Qin Chen was scrutinized by the Grand Elder, instinctively shaking and emitting an astonishing aura, as various awe-inspiring powers evolved, resembling a world-shattering demon.

Moreover, Qin Chen's Heavenly Saint Law was remarkably robust, each strand reaching the heavens and condensing boundless Law power, indicating Qin Chen's formidable understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

The Grand Elder's divine sense turned and also sensed several treasures within Qin Chen, all of which were of the Heavenly Saint level, exuding astonishing auras.

"Impressive!"

When the Grand Elder retracted his Holy Yuan power, his face revealed a shocked expression. The robustness of Qin Chen's Ancestral Ancient body was comparable to peak mid-stage Heavenly Saints; no wonder he was unscathed under the attack of Elder Yun Shi before.

After this probing, the Grand Elder had confirmed that Qin Chen indeed received the fortune of the Ancestral Ancient Clan. However, what excited him even more was Qin Chen's Heavenly Saint Law; its strength was extraordinarily robust, even akin to mid-stage Heavenly Saints, showcasing Qin Chen's understanding of the Heavenly Dao had reached an astonishing level.

"Good, good, good!" The Grand Elder repeatedly praised.

"That was close!"

Qin Chen secretly felt alarmed because, during the Grand Elder's probing, he had estimated that the Grand Elder's Holy Yuan was at least a hundred times that of Elder Yun Shi, and unfathomable. His cultivation had reached a realm capable of observing the myriad of things and nurturing all directions, almost revealing some clues about Qin Chen.

Fortunately, Qin Chen's strength was immensely powerful, combined with the Sky Patching Technique, stealing the heavens’ fortunes, and utilizing the Ancestral Ancient aura to hide his probing. Otherwise, he would have indeed been discovered.

However, now there was no problem; he had passed the test.

The Grand Elder looked quite gratified, increasingly satisfied with Qin Chen. He raised his hand, and a token flew out: "Qin Chen, I hereby announce that you are our Tian Gong's chief disciple among this batch of disciples, and you will not need to participate in the future Holy Son selection. You will directly reside in the core sacred land of Tian Gong and become one of our Holy Sons."
