Chapter 205

"The Holy See? Saintess Inheritance Trial?" Hearing Lan Xiatong's words, Lu Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, she seems to have the title of Saintess of the Red Lotus, right?"

"Although I have the title of Saintess of the Red Lotus, I am only one of the Saintess candidates and have not completed the Saintess Inheritance Trial," the one explaining this time was Yan Yuexin; the young girl had now fully recovered to normal: "So in a sense, I am not the real Saintess of the Red Lotus yet."

"You should know that Yuexin is the great-granddaughter of the Master of the Southern Region," Lan Xiatong took over the conversation: "But besides that, Yuexin's mother is actually the previous generation's Saintess of the Fire Spirit Sect."

Good guy, you actually have a Saintess mother; no wonder you could obtain the Saintess inheritance; it turned out to be inherited from your own mother.

Lu Li's gaze toward Yan Yuexin had become subtle; this inheritance couldn't be inherited from generation to generation, right!

"What kind of look is that!" Being looked at by Lu Li's subtle gaze, Yan Yuexin couldn't help but bristle.

"Nothing, just think your old man is quite awesome, directly tricking the Saintess of the Fire Spirit Sect, one of the six major religions of the Holy See, back to the Ancient Kingdom, and even marrying a wife and having a daughter!" Lu Li couldn't help but give Yan Yuexin a thumbs up.

"In fact, this matter also caused a great sensation in the Ancient Kingdom back then," Wen Xiuyuan interjected: "It was precisely by borrowing this opportunity that the relationship between the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See deepened by another point."

"Alright, these are all things of the past," Lan Xiatong interrupted Wen Xiuyuan's speech and pulled the topic back to the right track: "Let's talk about the Saintess inheritance."

385, Shadow Garden

"The inheritance trial for Saintess and Saint Son is something that the major religions of the Holy See value very much," Xia Lantong's voice sounded slowly: "Only by passing the inheritance trial can one become a real Saint Son or Saintess, and the Magic Card master who obtains the inheritance will have their talent greatly improved, and may even break through their original level."

Break through the original talent level? Hearing this, Lu Li became a little more serious.

For example, a Magic Card master's original limit is only being able to make seven-star Magic Cards, and when they try to make eight-star Magic Cards, they will be greatly affected, and may not even be able to make eight-star Magic Cards in their entire life.

Because making Magic Cards of the corresponding level is limited by talent!

And if this Magic Card master's talent can be improved, breaking through the original level, then it means they have a high probability of being able to touch a higher field and successfully make eight-star Magic Cards!

This also means that this Magic Card master can be promoted to a higher level; after all, the magic power reflux obtained from making eight-star Magic Cards exceeds that of seven-star Magic Cards; sometimes it might just be that little bit of difference that allows for promotion.

The talent Yan Yuexin displayed was definitely not bad; if she could pass the Saintess inheritance, then perhaps her talent would have the possibility of surpassing Meng Ningdie.

It was no wonder that the other party wanted to go to the Holy See to participate in the Saintess inheritance trial; this point was clearly considered.

"However, what does this have to do with me?" Although Lu Li felt a little surprised, he didn't care too much about this inheritance; after all, he didn't have a so-called production bottleneck on the path of Magic Cards.

The gap between him and top-tier powerhouses was just the accumulation of time.

Not to mention, if we talk about inheritance, he also had the inheritance of the Dragon Valley; although the Dragon Valley had declined over the years, compared to the improvement of talent, Lu Li felt that the inheritance obtained in the Dragon Valley was more suitable for him.

The improvement of talent was very tempting, but compared to the inheritance of having two more Magic Card summoning slots than Magic Card masters of the same level, it was a bit average, even if these two summoning slots had restrictions, but in Lu Li's view, it was indeed so.

After all, no matter how good the talent is, the upper limit is there, and it requires the accumulation of time; while Magic Card summoning slots are an immediate improvement and are not limited by talent.

"What's more, are you so sure that the Holy See is willing to let our Ancient Kingdom's Magic Card masters participate in the inheritance?" This was also a point Lu Li cared about.

As one of the three countries currently possessing Sovereigns in the Magic Card civilization, although there were no major conflicts between the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See, and they had established diplomatic relations, this inheritance trial sounded unusual; if I were a person of the Holy See, I wouldn't want this inheritance to leak out either.

Rather, Lu Li was even more surprised that the Holy See would be so generous as to let the Ancient Kingdom's Magic Card masters participate in the inheritance assessment, even if Yan Yuexin's mother was a former Saintess.

"Because the Holy See has to do this." Wen Xiuyuan grinned: "No matter which Saintess candidate or Saint Son candidate with a title is missing, the inheritance trial of that session cannot be opened!"

"Therefore, no matter how unwilling the Holy See is, as long as this little girl from the Yan family holds the title of Saintess of the Red Lotus, the other party must let her participate in the inheritance."

"All descendants of former Saintesses and Saint Sons can get the candidate title; this is also the origin of the Yan family girl's title of Saintess of the Red Lotus."

"Similarly, Yan Yuexin must also participate in the inheritance; after all, this has already touched one of the foundations of the Holy See; otherwise, even if a Sovereign came forward, the Holy See would definitely not give up!"

Back then, the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See reached a consensus, clearly with various considerations, but in the end, it still lay in the fact that both sides possessed Sovereign-level powerhouses.

Thinking of Sovereigns, Lu Li remembered the Tai Yin You Ying he had seen before; he just didn't know if the Pope of the Holy See knew the true identity of Tai Yin You Ying.

"As for why they found you, it's because of the strength and talent you displayed," in the end, Lan Xiatong finally got to the point: "Participating in the Holy See's inheritance trial has restrictions on the level; only when all Saintess candidates and Saint Son candidates with titles reach the King Realm will the door to inheritance open."

"At the same time, only King Realm experts can participate in the inheritance trial; if the strength exceeds the King Realm, then even if they have the title of Saint Son or Saintess candidate, they cannot enter to participate in the trial and will lose their qualifications."

"Besides that, the participating Saint Son and Saintess must bring a companion as a Guardian Knight, and this Guardian Knight can only be a King Realm expert; this is also a hard requirement."

"Is that so? No wonder you found me." Hearing this, Lu Li's face couldn't help but become strange: "But to be honest, even with the King Realm restriction, you have quite a few high-level, or even peak King Realm experts to choose from, right? Their strength definitely wouldn't be bad."

After all, the Southern Region was also one of the four major regions of the Ancient Kingdom, and with Yan Yuexin's identity, Lu Li didn't believe the other party couldn't find a suitable candidate in the Southern Region, and Lan Xiatong was undoubtedly the representative of the Master of the Southern Region.

Maybe as soon as this information came out, quite a few people would be lining up to find them; after all, if they performed well and were favored by the Master of the Southern Region, that would be equivalent to stepping into the sky in one step.

Even, if they could spark something with Yan Yuexin during this, that would be worry-free for the rest of their lives.

"There are indeed quite a few high-level King Realm experts in the Southern Region, and even peak King Realm experts who are just one step away from being promoted to Emperor Realm," Lan Xiatong glanced at Wen Xiuyuan: "But unfortunately, they are all over age."

"Participating in the inheritance trial, besides the restriction that strength must be in the King Realm, there is also an age restriction; one must be under 25 years old."

"Although it's a bit self-centered to say this, in this age group, the strongest Magic Card masters are undoubtedly the students of the four major academies."

Don't look at the fact that there are quite a few King Realm experts participating in the academy battle, but in reality, each academy only has a few people, and they are all the top of the top.

Placed outside, without the support of resources at the level of the four major academies, other Magic Card masters need to spend more time to break through to the King Realm.

"Therefore, this time we participated in the exchange of the four major academies, and we also had the purpose of selecting suitable candidates."

"Lu Li, your performance in this exchange match of the four major academies was the most outstanding," saying this, Lan Xiatong's eyes contained deep meaning: "Therefore, we all feel that you are the most suitable candidate, and we hope you can go with Yuexin."

After all, this inheritance involves the two major countries of the Ancient Kingdom and the Holy See; as a Magic Card master of the Ancient Kingdom, naturally, they hope to take away a share of the Holy See's inheritance.

Therefore, in screening the candidates to participate in the Holy See's inheritance trial with Yan Yuexin, Lan Xiatong was undoubtedly very cautious.

And from the deep-meaning look the other party just gave, Yan Yuexin must have mentioned his "true" strength to the other party.

Although that was just the strength the young girl thought, a Magic Card master who wasn't even a peak King Realm expert, and hadn't even stepped into the high-level King Realm, but possessed five nine-star Magic Card spirits, and each Magic Card spirit was very capable of fighting—this strength was truly outrageous.

After all, normally, nine-star Magic Cards are the standard configuration for Emperor Realm experts!

"Of course, we won't treat you badly." Lan Xiatong clearly also knew that asking someone for help must require paying some price, especially since the location they were going to this time was the Holy See outside the Ancient Kingdom: "As long as you agree to participate in the Holy See's inheritance trial with Yuexin, then I can make the decision to give you a quota to enter the Shadow Garden."

Shadow Garden? This was the first time Lu Li had heard of it; I think this should be a unique product of the Southern Region.

"Besides that, as long as Yuexin can successfully obtain the Holy See's inheritance, then as her Guardian Knight, you will also receive quite a few gains accordingly."

"Lu Li, agree to that old woman Xia; just the quota for the Shadow Garden is a good reward." Wen Xiuyuan also spoke at this time, but his form of address made Xia Lantong's eyelids jump wildly; if it weren't for the fact that they were asking for help, Xia Lantong would definitely have thrown a shuttle of Magic Cards at the other party's face.

Does she look that old?

This Shadow Garden seems to have something; seeing Wen Xiuyuan winking at him, Lu Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "No problem, when are we leaving?"

386, Tree Spirit Sister's Intuition, World Pillar Fragment!

"The Saintess inheritance will open in half a year," mentioning this, Yan Yuexin said seriously: "However, we are not Magic Card masters of the Holy See, so we need to set off in advance, so the time left for us to improve our strength is not as much as imagined."

I think so too; the Holy See must value the inheritance trial of the Saint Son and Saintess very much, so naturally, the preparation time must be sufficient.

It's just that the time left for all Saint Son and Saintess candidates won't be too much either.

"Don't worry, it won't be just the two of you setting off for the Holy See at that time; I will also go with the team," as if to give Lu Li a shot in the arm, after Yan Yuexin finished speaking, Lan Xiatong spoke again: "And, our Master of the Southern Region will also participate in it!"

In the end, Yan Yuexin is the great-granddaughter of the Master of the Southern Region, and her talent and potential are not ordinary, so the Master of the Southern Region naturally couldn't just let her go to the Holy See without taking any defensive measures.

If that were really the case, Yan Yuexin would probably have to consider whether she was picked up from some corner when she was a child.

"Half a year later, that time isn't too tight," he calculated silently in his heart.

Next, he planned to make the Kamen Rider Magic Card, which already required quite a bit of time.

And besides the Kamen Rider Magic Card, Lu Li also planned to take this opportunity to make the Destruction Dragon Gandora together.

The time spent on this was also quite a lot.

Besides that, it was also time to prepare more Mind Cubes for that girl Zero.

That girl had protested to him quite a few times; after all, even including herself, there were only three ship girls now, far from filling a team, and the second team was even more of a luxury.

If all these things were handled well, Lu Li estimated it would take about three months.

However, if it could proceed according to the plan, with three months of accumulation and precipitation, Lu Li was confident that his strength would definitely be able to improve further.

"After handling these things, it's time to go to the Northern Region with Xueyi; her affairs, and the trial of the Titan Holy Domain, can't be dragged on any longer." Even without the matter of Su Xueyi's parents, Lu Li planned to go to the Northern Frontier in the near future; the opening of the Titan Holy Domain was not far away.

"After Xueyi and Wan'er return from the Dream Paradise, and stabilize after the new semester starts, it will be just about time to set off."

Deciding on the itinerary for the next period in his heart, Lu Li nodded to Lan Xiatong and Yan Yuexin: "Since that's the case, when the time comes, I will go to the Southern Region to meet up with you."

There was still half a year, so he didn't need to be in such a hurry to go to the Palace of Travel; it was just that the journey to the Palace of Travel might take some time.

"No need to be so troublesome," seeing that Lu Li had agreed, Lan Xiatong was in a very good mood, waving her hand, and a card appeared in her hand: "This is the teleportation voucher for the Palace of Travel; as long as you activate this voucher, you can instantly teleport to the Palace of Travel."

"In this way, you can also save quite a bit of time."

"Then I won't be polite." Regarding this, Lu Li naturally couldn't refuse, taking the teleportation voucher for the Palace of Travel.

From then on, both sides had reached an agreement.

"Academy Master, what kind of place is the Shadow Garden?" Looking at the departing Lan Xiatong and Yan Yuexin, Lu Li recalled the conversation just now, turning his head to look at Wen Xiuyuan.

He could see that even before this, no matter how much Lan Xiatong boasted, Wen Xiuyuan didn't show too much positivity.

Only when the other party proposed the Shadow Garden did Wen Xiuyuan suggest that he agree to the other party; it could be seen that this Shadow Garden definitely had some secrets.

"Shadow Garden, it is rumored to be a dimensional plane formed after the collapse of a world where a Sovereign was once born," Wen Xiuyuan had an expression of "I knew you kid would definitely ask this question": "Of course, although this is just a rumor, there is no doubt that the level of the Shadow Garden dimensional plane is extremely high; if you can go in for a trip, perhaps you will have unexpected gains."

"Lu Li, there is a very high probability that there will be World Pillar fragments in the Shadow Garden," before Lu Li could ponder Wen Xiuyuan's words, Celestin's voice rang in his mind, sounding as if it were decisive!

"Are you sure?" Even without Celestin's reminder, after Wen Xiuyuan's explanation, Lu Li was indeed interested in the Shadow Garden; after all, involving a powerhouse at the level of a Sovereign, there would always be something special.

And, the World Pillar Fire Source fragment he had obtained in the Eternal Night plane before not only improved the level of the Eternal Land and expanded the scale of the Eternal Land, but also allowed Lu Li to obtain the authority of the Machine Spirit Body.
