"Greetings to Commandery Prince His Excellency." Many people around promptly bowed with respect.
"There is no need for such formalities. It is my honour that you could all attend my birthday banquet, but I will not let you be disappointed. Today, I have prepared an interesting segnt for everyone which I’m sure you’ll like," Nangong Bo said with a smile.
All were puzzled. An interesting segnt?
"May I ask what this interesting segnt ntioned by the Commandery Prince is exactly?" Soone asked.
The others also showed faces full of curiosity.
Nangong Bo smiled slightly and gave Nangong Yuzhe a aningful glance behind him.
The latter imdiately understood and stepped out.
After a short while, Nangong Yuzhe returned, now holding a stele in his hands.
"This object is known as the Wordless Stele, a relic of the Heavenly Sword Sect, an ancient sect from the Spirit Realm. It records tens of thousands of Cultivation Combat Techniques of the Heavenly Sword Sect, among which are Immortal Level Secret Tos," Nangong Bo said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
A stele containing tens of thousands of Cultivation Techniques, it was indeed a supre treasure.
Just this one stele was equivalent to the foundation of an entire Sect.
Hearing this, Xu Ping’an also couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise, his eyes filled with delight.
"The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Wordless Stele is actually here. No wonder I searched the entire Spirit Realm in my past life and couldn’t find it," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself excitedly.
Back then, he had searched all Four Great Spirit Realms and had not found a trace of the Wordless Stele.
He didn’t expect that he would find the Wordless Stele right here.
It was truly a case of finding sothing without even having to try, after searching everywhere else to no avail.
He turned his head to look at Shangguan Lingyu and Yu Xianlan, both of whom wore excited expressions.
Clearly, they were also aware of the value of the Wordless Stele.
Although the Heavenly Sword Sect was not a major sect within the Spirit Realm, it was extrely famous in the history of the Spirit Realm.
This was because the Heavenly Sword Sect possessed a treasured item, known as the Heavenly Sword Secret To, created by the founding ancestor of the sect.
This Secret To recorded an extrely powerful secret technique, nad teor Sword Technique.
This technique was enormously powerful. In the past, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect killed five Tenth Rank cultivators with a single use of this technique while being only at the Eleventh Rank himself, an event that shook the entire Spirit Realm.
Hence, countless people desired this Sword Move, but it was exceedingly difficult to master.
Thus, no one from the Heavenly Sword Sect could inherit this technique, leading to the sect’s ultimate decline, and the Secret To disappeared along with it.
And this teor Sword Technique was recorded within this Wordless Stele.
Therefore, when Nangong Bo ntioned that he had the Wordless Stele in his possession, it was no surprise that Xu Ping’an was so excited.
If he could obtain the teor Sword Technique, it would be a trendous opportunity.
"Commandery Prince His Excellency, what relation does this Wordless Stele bear to the interesting segnt you ntioned? Could it be that Your Excellency intends to bestow these techniques upon us?" Soone asked, filled with confusion.
Nangong Bo laughed, "That’s correct, I intend to gift you these Cultivation Combat Techniques."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was visibly excited.
This was the heritage of a Supre Sect, and Nangong Bo was actually intending to give such an opportunity to them. His generosity was astonishing indeed.
Seeing the excitent in the crowd, Nangong Bo began to laugh.
"Gentlen, don’t celebrate too soon. As I said earlier, it’s an interesting segnt, and obtaining this legacy will not be easy. To inherit the Wordless Stele, one must pass the trial it imposes," Nangong Bo said with a smile.
```
"The trial of the Wordless Stele?" The crowd around was taken aback, and slightly disappointed.
Xu Ping’an, however, was not the least bit surprised.
In the Spirit Realm, inheritance trials are exceedingly common.
Sects conduct trials for each inheritor to maximize the use of their resources.
Such trials categorize the participants into different levels, consequently awarding varied inheritances.
Clearly, this Wordless Stele is an artifact of inheritance from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The interesting part that Nangong Bo ntioned must be the opportunity for those present to undergo the trial for inheritance, with rewards for those who pass.
"That’s right, the trial. Only those who pass the trial will have the chance to obtain the inheritance. Anyone who secures the inheritance can take it away freely; I absolutely won’t stop them," Nangong Bo said with a smile.
The crowd’s eyes shone with eagerness once more. Although there were conditions to obtaining the inheritance, this was still an opportunity for them.
If they were unable to pass the trial, it would only prove their own incompetence; they would have no one else to bla.
In an instant, everyone beca keen to try.
Xu Ping’an’s heart also stirred, knowing that to obtain the teor Sword Technique, he too must pass its trial.
In the distance, Shangguan Lingyu, Wu Tianjian, and Yu Xianlan showed looks of anticipation as well.
Clearly, they too had a strong interest in such secret Sword Technique arts.
However, securing the secret of the teor Sword Technique would be no easy task.
"Gentlen, obtaining the inheritance from the Wordless Stele is not so simple," Nangong Bo continued. "In my Nangong residence, three thousand have undertaken the trial, but only forty-eight have truly passed, and the vast majority of them received only the lowest level of inheritance."
The crowd instantly drew sharp breaths.
Out of three thousand, only forty-sothing had received the inheritance; far too few indeed.
Xu Ping’an was also surprised, realizing the trial of the Heavenly Sword Sect was much more difficult than he had expected.
But that made it more interesting. If it were too easy, wouldn’t just anyone be able to secure the inheritance of the teor Sword Technique’s secret?
"After our investigation, we found that the inheritance of the Wordless Stele has ten levels, corresponding to the Fourth Rank, Fifth Rank… all the way to the Twelfth Rank," Nangong Bo said with a smile.
"Isn’t that only nine levels?" soone asked hastily.
The crowd was visibly confused.
"Because beyond the Twelfth Rank, there is another kind of inheritance, known as the Sequence Inheritance. Those who acquire this inheritance will receive the strongest legacy from the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, obtaining such an inheritance is as difficult as ascending to heaven," Nangong Bo said with a smile.
"Sequence Inheritance?" The crowd nodded in understanding.
Such an inheritance was not sothing they could aspire to; what caliber of talent would one need to obtain it?
Xu Ping’an’s expression grew solemn. If he wasn’t mistaken, that Sequence Inheritance was likely the Heavenly Sword Secret To.
Hence, to acquire the teor Sword Technique, he must pass the Sequence Inheritance trial.
Shangguan Lingyu and Yu Xianlan beside him also had serious expressions, indicating that even they were unsure of passing the Sequence Inheritance trial.
"Now, I won’t delay your ti any further. Any guest who is interested can step forward and try. Those who gain the inheritance, consider it my returning gift to you," Nangong Bo said with a laugh.
After he had finished, he instructed Nangong Yuzhe to bring out the Wordless Stele.
As soon as the Wordless Stele appeared, it erupted with fluctuations that set hearts racing.
The originally palm-sized stele suddenly expanded a hundredfold and floated in the center of the great hall.
The stele exuded a heavy and primitive aura.
