Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 124: Getting A House

Jiang Hao looked at the numbers—one pillar had 7, one had 3, while one had 0 on it.

He also understood what Jing Tian was pointing at. For all those years, no one had claimed this inheritance. That meant the test to prove oneself was a tricky one or nearly impossible to pass.

Well, he didn’t care about these inheritances, nor did he have any interest in them, but since it would grant him treasures, he would try it once. But before that, he had one more question.

Since the main consciousness was observing everything, would anyone be allowed to claim multiple inheritances if they could pass the tests?

As this question came to his mind, he asked about it.

"What about claiming multiple inheritances, is that possible?"

"Of course it is. The whole meaning of the Inheritance site was to create the strongest cultivators. There are no restrictions on how many inheritances you can claim. Multiple cultivators have done it in the past, but you must remember that every inheritance has a unique will, and they use unique tests according to their preferences.

So it is not guaranteed that you will be able to pass every single one of them. There is one more thing—in the end, you will only use one inheritance to decide your path. So having multiple inheritances isn’t going to help much. It will definitely increase your experience, but that’s it.

Inheritances obtained from these grounds cannot be passed to others, as you must take a heavenly oath before obtaining one."

Jiang Hao nodded and looked toward the houses as they came close enough to see them after passing the initial crowd.

There were eleven cultivators standing near them. Six of them were from the Azure Sky Sect, while five had already been present—they were from the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary.

"As expected, these bastards are here too,"

Jing Tian said with ridicule, his eyes moving over each cultivator of the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary.

He was disappointed, as there wasn’t any big shot among them.

Sects released the list of the top twenty geniuses in their sects, irrespective of their cultivation realms.

But there was another list—the top ten cultivators, released according to their strength and cultivation realms.

So everyone knew who the top figures and geniuses were around the world, at least of their own realm.

Only ordinary cultivators didn’t care much about it. For them, even average disciples from top sects were extraordinary.

Jiang Hao didn’t care about what was going on in Jing Tian’s mind. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

He listened to the conversation between the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary and Azure Sky Sect. They were acting like they owned the entire core region—how amusing.

"So what do you say? Five houses for us and four houses for you guys. There’s no need to fight among ourselves. Our mission is the same—to find those traitors. We are asking for five houses because we are six, while you all are only five.

By the way, there’s a chance that one or two people might challenge us for the houses, so be prepared,"

It was stated by the same person who had spoken with Jing Tian outside.

There were two women and three men among the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary cultivators, with two spirit beasts—one at the peak stage of grade three, while the other was at the early stage of grade four. The leader appeared to be a woman.

"You must be joking, right? Who would have the guts to do that?" She didn’t even glance toward the crowd while saying that—she didn’t care what they thought. It was but the truth.

"You’ll know soon enough."

"Fine, but when are we going to search this city?"

"Let’s wait for two more hours. They might not have arrived yet."

"Weren’t the two of them quite the geniuses? If they were capable, they would’ve arrived by now."

"Who knows—they might be waiting to enter at the very end."

"Well, whatever you say. The chance of finding them here is low anyway."

Jiang Hao understood whom they were talking about. It was definitely him and Ming Yue. How were they going to search for him? Forcing everyone wearing a mask to remove it in order to find the traitors? That might be the only possible method.

Jiang Hao watched as they all went inside a house and claimed it. Only two cultivators remained outside.

Immediately, others came out too.

"Oh, by the way, you have to step inside the house to claim it. Once you do, no one else can enter it without challenging you. I’m going to get one for myself, so see ya,"

Jing Tian said, walking toward the area of the houses.

Jiang Hao didn’t follow and waited to see the result.

Immediately, others also saw him walking toward the area where only cultivators from the Azure Sky Sect and Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary were present.

They were surprised that someone was willing to go near them. Was this guy really going to challenge them?

When the eyes of the leader of the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary fell on Jing Tian, she finally understood what the disciple of the Azure Sky Sect had meant when he said someone might challenge them.

She knew Jing Tian, the genius of the Starlight Zenith Order. It was said that his speed in mastering the way of the saber was unparalleled. When their sect dug deeper, they discovered that he possessed a common physique.

They didn’t know its name, but it was definitely something related to the saber.

There was no doubt he was more famous than their own geniuses, for not a single disciple in their sect had a physique. The Azure Sky Sect had the chance to groom one, but they lost it.

Not to mention, she had a heavenly physique. After seeing the value of even a common physique, they understood one thing—making enemies out of someone with a heavenly physique was terrifying, let alone two.

This was the reason they had gone all out and sent many cultivators, each of them carrying numerous attack and defense talismans—every single one of them equipped with an arsenal of treasures.

They were confident they could kill the two. If they couldn’t win one-on-one, they could keep attacking with talismans until those two ran out of qi.

All they had to do was find them. That was the most difficult part.

Jing Tian arrived and said a single sentence.

"So, who is willing to give me a house? You see, I have no intention of fighting you weaklings, so don’t waste time, because if you accept my challenge, I will definitely kill you."

There was pin-drop silence in the crowd. It was really hard for them to believe someone could speak like that to cultivators of those two sects.

"Don’t push your luck. Although I admit you are strong, don’t think we have nothing to face you with. It’s just that none of us are willing to waste such treasures on you. You’re not worthy,"

The woman from the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary said.

"Ohh... so you guys have brought out good things to hunt down those two so-called traitors, huh... Are they really that strong? Now I really want to meet them."

Jing Tian knew they weren’t joking. Seeing how extensively they had promoted this issue showed how far they were willing to go to kill the traitors.

But he wasn’t afraid. As the top genius of his sect, he had been given enough life-protection methods too.

"Whatever. You want a house, you can have one,"

said a guy from the Azure Sky Sect.

"What do you mean, one? Give me two, or I’m going to challenge you all one by one. And believe me—I’m not afraid of your stupid threats,"

Jing Tian snickered.

Both of the leaders squinted their eyes. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

They were here for their mission, not for cultivation anyway, so it was still acceptable.

"Fine. But don’t even think we are afraid of you. Our goals are simply different."

"Ya ya, whatever helps you sleep better."

"Junior Sister, I got a house for you."

Yu Yan sighed and looked toward the pair who were following her.

"You guys going to challenge?"

The man shook his head.

"I am confident that I can win, but Junior Sister won’t be able to. So I’ll stay with her in the middle area."

Yu Yan nodded and moved toward the location where Jing Tian stood.

Jiang Hao sighed. He had wanted to see a battle for reference, not a simple exchange.

He moved toward them too. The cultivators of both groups frowned. Did their conceding two houses boost others’ confidence?

Did they think anyone could come and ask for a house? The group from Azure Sky Sect knew who this man was. They had already put him on their kill list, but it seemed he didn’t want to live much longer.

Jiang Hao came close to Jing Tian and looked at him.

Before he could say anything, Jing Tian spoke himself.

"Just go in front of a house and tap the barrier. The main consciousness will issue the challenge itself."

Others were amused listening to that. They didn’t say anything—they simply watched Jiang Hao choose a house.
