The massive structure resembling a dragon's head once again erupted with an immeasurable, boundless pressure.
This time, it was even more overwhelming than before!
Just seconds later...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three dazzling white-gold pillars of light shot skyward, piercing through the nine heavens.
In an instant, the entire White Dragon University was illuminated, transforming the night into a dazzling day.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Figures surged from White Dragon University, soaring into the sky.
"What's that?"
"A Heaven-Tier High-Grade Inheritance?!"
"Someone in the White Dragon's Court has obtained a Heaven-Tier High-Grade Inheritance!" The figures ascending into the sky—students and teachers alike—stared intently at the three radiant pillars of light.
The appearance of these white-gold pillars signified the emergence of a Heaven-Tier Inheritance!
However, Heaven-Tier Inheritances were also classified by grade.
The Heaven-Rank itself was divided into High, Mid, and Low grades!
One white-gold pillar indicated a Low-Grade Heaven-Rank Inheritance; two pillars signified a Mid-Tier Heaven-Rank Inheritance; and three pillars represented a Heaven-Tier High-Grade Inheritance.
The current situation spoke for itself.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Qiu Cang and Chen Zilu were the first to arrive outside.
"It's Jiang Ye," Qiu Cang said.
"Heaven-Rank High-Grade?" Chen Zilu's sweet voice carried as she gazed up at the sky, her delicate face tilted upward.
The golden light reflected in her beautiful eyes, dazzlingly bright, yet a hint of surprise flickered within them.
"That kid," Qiu Cang murmured, his expression also showing astonishment. "He actually obtained a Heaven-Rank High-Grade Inheritance?"
They had expected Jiang Ye to secure a High-Grade Earth-Tier or perhaps a Low-Grade Heaven-Tier Inheritance.
But a Heaven-Rank High-Grade Inheritance? That was beyond their wildest expectations!
Even at White Dragon University, where geniuses were as numerous as stars, only a handful of students—those in the Mid A-Tier or even Upper A-Tier—could achieve such a feat.
"Let's go see," Qiu Cang said, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light as he shot toward White Dragon's Court.
"Whoosh!" Chen Zilu followed closely behind.
White Dragon's Court, the central plaza.
A crowd had already gathered in the plaza, drawn by the immense energy fluctuations.
"Teacher Qiu."
"Teacher," Tang Wuji, Shi Ting, and others greeted Qiu Cang as they arrived.
Suddenly, Tang Wuji's eyes widened as he spotted the white-robed figure beside Qiu Cang. "Senior Sister?!"
"Senior Sister?" Shi Ting exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Chen Zilu typically cultivated in seclusion and rarely made public appearances. Even her fellow disciples seldom saw her. Yet despite their limited interactions, Shi Ting, Tang Wuji, and the others were well aware of Chen Zilu's legendary reputation. Seeing her arrive now sent them into a frenzy of excitement.
Simultaneously, Chen Zilu noticed their reaction and realized her mistake.
Beep! She pressed her battle armor wristband, and a silver-white suit of armor rapidly enveloped her, concealing her breathtakingly beautiful face.
"I forgot to activate my armor," Chen Zilu muttered, facepalming in exasperation. She had been so preoccupied with Jiang Ye's inheritance that she nearly overlooked this crucial detail.
As one of the top three contenders on the All-Stars Popularity Ranking, Chen Zilu was a household name in East Sea Province. Even within White Dragon University, she commanded a legion of fervent admirers. Fortunately, they were at the edge of the plaza, and apart from Tang Wuji, Shi Ting, and their fellow disciples, few others had noticed her arrival.
"Don't reveal my identity," Chen Zilu transmitted telepathically to Tang Wuji and the others, her voice icy and commanding.
"Understood!"
Shi Ting, Tang Wuji, and the others nodded repeatedly.
Wow, Senior Sister really is the Number One Beauty of the East Sea—her reputation is well-deserved. She's stunningly beautiful, Tang Wuji couldn't help but think. If she'd be my girlfriend, I'd even be willing to break through my cultivation realm for her.
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Ting kicked him sharply. "I can tell you're having inappropriate thoughts."
"I'm not," Tang Wuji muttered sullenly.
Shi Ting turned to Chen Zilu, unable to suppress her curiosity. "Senior Sister, what brings you here? I thought you received the First-Tier Cosmic Civilization Inheritance."
The unspoken implication hung heavy in the air:
While a Heaven-Tier High-Grade Inheritance was undoubtedly dazzling, compared to a First-Tier Civilization Inheritance, it was like a firefly against the full moon. Someone of Chen Zilu's status and position shouldn't even be paying attention to such matters.
"Just came to take a look," Chen Zilu replied, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on the scene ahead. "Jiang Ye is still my junior brother, after all."
"Senior Sister, you know him?" Shi Ting asked, surprised.
"Mm," Chen Zilu nodded, offering no further explanation.
Qiu Cang said, "He's about to emerge."
All eyes turned toward the front.
Boom!
The White Dragon's Court erupted with a thunderous roar, its surface shimmering with vibrant, otherworldly colors. An overwhelming pressure, vast as the ocean, swept across the area.
"This kid..." Qiu Cang narrowed his eyes. "The Heaven-Tier Inheritance he obtained seems far from ordinary."
It was common knowledge that Heaven-Tier Inheritances manifested astonishing phenomena. The longer these phenomena persisted, the more extraordinary the inheritance.
By now, the phenomena had lasted for several minutes, nearly reaching the upper limit for Heaven-Tier Inheritances.
Suddenly—
Boom!
A fourth pillar of white-gold light shot skyward from the majestic dragon head.
Four pillars of white-gold light, each radiating boundless brilliance, exerted a pressure that blanketed the entire academy.
For a moment, it was as if a scorching sun had descended from the heavens!
"What's this?"
"Four light pillars?"
"How is that possible?"
"Isn't the maximum three?" The crowd in the plaza erupted in gasps.
In the sky, newly arrived teachers from White Dragon University froze in astonishment.
"What's happening?"
"Why are there four white-gold light pillars?"
"Heaven-Tier Inheritances only produce up to three white-gold pillars. The next level, First-Tier Cosmic Civilization Inheritances, manifest as the 'Proud Sun Soars Across the Sky' phenomenon. What are these four pillars?"
Even the teachers at White Dragon University were utterly bewildered.
Many of them were seasoned experts with over a century of cultivation experience, yet they had never witnessed such a spectacle.
Meanwhile, Shi Ting, Tang Wuji, and the others were equally stunned.
"Holy shit!"
"What's going on?" Tang Wuji exclaimed, his face etched with shock. "Junior Brother Jiang...?"
"Teacher," Shi Ting said, her face pale as she turned to Qiu Cang. "Do you know what's happening?"
Qiu Cang remained calm, his expression serene. "Don't overreact," he said dismissively.
"Jiang Ye has likely obtained an extremely rare inheritance, but it's still within the Heaven-Rank range."
"Otherwise, the pillars of light wouldn't be platinum-gold," Qiu Cang explained calmly.
"I see," Shi Ting and Tang Wuji said, their faces filled with admiration.
As expected of Teacher Qiu, they thought. He understands things even the other teachers don't.
At that moment, Qiu Cang gazed up at the sky.
That Old Zhu...
What kind of disciple did he take in? Qiu Cang thought in astonishment. I've taught students for over a century, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this!
What exactly is that kid doing in there?
"Can anyone tell me what's going on here?!"
Qiu Cang's inner voice seemed to receive an answer.
The next moment,
Rumble!
Accompanied by a majestic roar,
the massive gates of the White Dragon's Court slowly creaked open.
A figure emerged from within.
