At the same time, all thirty-two True Successor Positions cast their gazes upon Lu Yan.
They were shrouded in the light and shadows of the True Successor Positions, their figures appearing like majestic deities, making it difficult to see clearly.
The Tenth True Inheritor, gently fiddling with a chess piece, softly inquired, "You stayed inside the Ancestral Hall for such a long time, could it be that you met the First True Inheritor?"
Lu Yan slightly raised his eyebrows, feeling that the Tenth True Inheritor's question was somewhat odd.
"Yes!"
With Lu Yan's affirmative answer, many True Inheritors looked at Lu Yan with some scrutiny and surprise, even the nine major True Inheritors had a touch of seriousness in their gaze.
Conversations began to spread among the True Inheritors.
"Unexpectedly, the First True Inheritor has appeared in person."
"He has not shown himself since slaying the external demonic path evildoers seven hundred years ago, yet now he personally meets with a mere Foundation Establishment Junior Cultivator."
"Even for us, most of the time we only see the First True Inheritor's Transmission Order."
"The Thirty-third True Inheritor, though only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, has extraordinary combat power and will surely shine brilliantly in future Secret Realms, so it's quite normal for the First True Inheritor to value him."
"It has been five thousand years since the First True Inheritor last repaired the Taiyi Cave Heaven, perhaps it's time to reopen the Primordial Chaos."
...
The exchanges among the True Inheritors made Lu Yan increasingly puzzled.
The normal procedure when entering the Ancestral Hall should have been to pay respects to Taiyi Immortal. If there was an opportunity, one might receive a Fate Technique from Taiyi Immortal, but now it changed to the First True Inheritor.
And according to previous statements, the First True Inheritor Jiang Zhiwei was not very old, even younger than some of the True Inheritors present. Yet, from the words of these True Inheritors, he seemed to have completely replaced the original Taiyi Immortal in repairing Cave Heaven and reopening Primordial Chaos.
Realizing this, Lu Yan felt an increasing respect for Jiang Zhiwei's methods.
After Lu Yan, the other three new True Inheritors gradually appeared in the starry sky.
Lin Xiao and the other new True Inheritor Shi Yu did not see the First True Inheritor, but instead, the weakest in cultivation and strength, He Dongsheng, met with the First True Inheritor and was bestowed a Cultivation Technique.
Lu Yan was already accustomed to He Dongsheng's fortuitous encounters, but the other True Inheritors were rather surprised, even considering He Dongsheng more important than Lu Yan.
As He Dongsheng took the thirty-sixth True Successor Position, the Taiyi Sect's thirty-six True Inheritors were fully in place.
Lu Yan followed the stars' perspective, overlooking the earth, where the vast immortal path was clearly visible to him, and at the same time, the Tenth True Inheritor's voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Thirty-six True Successors have returned to their positions!"
"Among the Thirteen Main Lineages, the Supreme Profound Lineage has no True Successor Position, halving its Cave Heaven resources.
The Four Seasons Lineage holds two True Successor Positions, restoring its Cave Heaven resources."
Thirty-six stars above the sky slowly concealed themselves.
At the center of the immortal path, the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Supreme Profound Lineage wore unpleasant expressions, ultimately powerless to change the situation.
Half a day later, the cultivators dispersed.
...
Originally, Lu Yan's contention for a True Successor Position was merely to enter the Ancestral Hall in search of immortal fate.
But after sitting on the thirty-third True Successor Position, he realized just how extraordinary the power of the Taiyi True Inheritor was.
He could go to Taiyi Branches to command Nascent Soul True Monarchs, reside in Taiyi Cave Heaven, enter and leave the Taiyi Daoist Scripture Pavilion to peruse any tome below Divinity Transformation, as well as receive Cave Heaven resources once every ten years...
To Lu Yan, the Taiyi True Successor Position was almost an inexhaustible treasure trove.
After bidding farewell to Mu Chunqiu, Lu Yan seized the remaining half-month world time before the version update and decisively entered the Taiyi Daoist Scripture Pavilion in the Cave Heaven World, beginning to peruse many Golden Core and Nascent Soul tomes.
Especially those tomes regarding fourth-tier arrays, cave heaven creation, and Dao Rules, which greatly aided Lu Yan in perfecting the Underworld Array and the small world within the Human Emperor Banner.
He even found the "Red Lotus Karma Fire Scripture" within the Taiyi Daoist Scripture Pavilion.
This Sect's Foundation Establishment Technique from the Red Lotus Demon Sect, a major magic path sect, was reportedly a spoil of war from a righteous and demonic war thousands of years ago, with a complete Cultivation Technique from Qi Cultivation to Nascent Soul.
This meant that Lu Yan would not lack Cultivation Techniques for a short time.
As for techniques above Divinity Transformation, they seemed to involve being consumed as fuel by the Karma Immortal associated with the Red Lotus Demon Sect, so Lu Yan could only wait until after reaching Nascent Soul to seek a solution.
Lu Yan spent a half-month fully immersed in the Daoist Scripture Pavilion, yet the books he read were less than one millionth of the Taiyi Daoist Scripture Pavilion's collection.
Lu Yan only regretted that the hidden hazard of the Profound Vagina Door was yet unresolved, preventing the liberation of the Human Emperor Banner.
If aided by the Underworld's ghostly Soul Computer, it would surely allow massive volumes of Daoist scripture to be reviewed in a short time.
If it weren't for the imminent agreement with Jiang Zhiwei, and that achieving Jiang Zhiwei's goal seemed to require the use of a version-specific privilege, Lu Yan would have wanted to linger in the Immortal Xianxia version for half a year more to fully enjoy all the Taiyi True Successor resources and benefits.
As the version progress reached 99.5% in his vision, Lu Yan finally put down the tome in his hand and left the Taiyi Daoist Scripture Pavilion, heading to the Ancestral Hall.
After half a month of absence, the Ancestral Hall still appeared old and dilapidated.
Entering the Ancestral Hall, Jiang Zhiwei lay on the altar with a book covering his face, dozing off, lacking any real-world immortal's demeanor aside from his immortal vibe and immortal-like appearance.
Glancing at Lu Yan with peripheral vision, Jiang Zhiwei removed the book from his face, yawning and lazily said:
"Are you ready?"
"Reporting to the First True Inheritor, I am ready."
