Even now, it far surpasses some Heavenly Realm martial artists!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul remnant of Hidden Dragon Superior looked at Lin Dong, eyes showing approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were born in the same era, even he wouldn’t dare claim to suppress Lin Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the two are not of the same era, they are destined never to face off; instead, Hidden Dragon Superior grew fond of him and even hoped Lin Dong could receive his lifelong inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether it’s the Martial Way, the national art, the Dragon Country’s spirit, or its culture, they all need an inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you can break through this final stage and pass this formation smoothly,\" Hidden Dragon Superior’s soul remnant continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong nodded his head, noticing that his wounds rapidly healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His both legs, broken by him earlier, reattached themselves instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a brief moment, Lin Dong restored to his peak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, did I pass that second stage just now?\" Lin Dong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Hidden Dragon Superior’s prior rules, Lin Dong must endure under the joint attack of four Heavenly Realm martial artists’ hypothetical enemies for one hour without dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But evidently, he didn’t manage it; under their combined assault, he couldn’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Dragon Superior laughably said, \"In fact, the test was of your indomitable soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for whether you can survive an hour under the attack of four Heavenly Realm hypothetical enemies, it’s not important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Lin Dong understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, next, I’ll conduct the third stage test on you,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can pass this final test, it means you can walk out from this Nether Array Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beyond that, you will have the opportunity to encounter my Golden Body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have the fate to meet, perform three bows before my Golden Body to receive my lifelong inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying these words, Hidden Dragon Superior’s soul remnant again flicked his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the world of formations underwent a dramatic change again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole formation world transformed into another two appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third test is simple; for you, just make a choice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you choose correctly, it indicates you passed the test.

The path ahead is no longer accessible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Dong curiously asked, \"Senior, what choice do you want me to make?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Dragon Superior’s soul remnant didn’t answer Lin Dong immediately but pointed to the left in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he pointed to the direction where a scene of human hell appeared. It was a tragic scene, as if demons were destroying the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monster was committing carnage among the crowd, with countless people plunged into crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Hidden Dragon Superior pointed to the right, and Lin Dong saw a woman he cared about over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Bai Jue was tied by a rope, below was a cauldron. At the rope, a candle was burning the string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the candle’s flame burns through the rope, Sister Bai Jue would fall into the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When these two scenes appeared, Hidden Dragon Superior spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The choice is simple: my left side is a scene of human hell. There are ten thousand beings suffering from the carnage of a demon. If you kill that demon, you can save these hundreds of thousands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My right side is your beloved. If you save her, you can also rescue her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you can’t have both. If you choose to go left to save those ten thousand beings, then your beloved will fall into the cauldron and suffer death by burning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if you save your beloved, you won’t have time to rescue those thousands on the right; they will be ruthlessly killed by the demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, you have only one minute to consider which side to save.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Dong didn’t hesitate and promptly rushed toward Sister Bai Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he didn’t consider inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a situation, the first thing he thought of was saving his beloved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wanted to save those hundreds of thousands and kill that demon. But if he had to choose only one, he would still save his beloved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Dong rushing towards his beloved, Hidden Dragon Superior’s soul remnant showed a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He actually went over there...\" Hidden Dragon Superior murmured, eyes flickering with memories of the past, as if the sight before him triggered his recollections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, though, I chose to betray my heart and be the savior,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saved millions upon millions, yet alone, I failed her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bitter smile appeared on his face, and looking at Lin Dong again, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A reminder, are you sure you want to save her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t real, but if you choose to save those hundreds of thousands, you might pass this formation’s test and have the chance to receive my lifelong inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong had already reached Sister Bai Jue, extinguished the candle, and freed \"her\" from the rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Hidden Dragon Superior and said, \"Senior, I’ve made my choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, you are probably testing my character, whether I’m selfless. Testing whether I can become a savior of the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Lin Dong showed a bitter smile, paused, and then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my beloved wasn’t in danger, I would naturally want to save them. But if I must sacrifice my beloved to save them, then I’m sorry, I cannot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Between all beings and her, I choose her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although regrettable, Lin Dong doesn’t regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Hidden Dragon Superior’s inheritance, it’s simply lack of fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he’s already received many inheritances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Wordless Sword Art, Change the Aspect of Heaven Technique, and Demon Shadow, all are exceptionally powerful cultivation methods, with which he’s already very content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking these words, Lin Dong knew he had failed the test, thus he spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, I’ve failed the test, could you please send me out of the formation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shall stop here and leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hidden Dragon Superior’s soul remnant suddenly shook his head and, smilingly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who says you have failed the test?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoa!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Dong, who had given up hope, suddenly brightened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he asked involuntarily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, what do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It means, you’ve passed the test!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This test, it wasn’t about testing your selflessness or the virtue of your heart for all beings. Instead, it tested your true heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Above the Heavenly Realm, the true heart cannot be missing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I lacked a heart like yours back then, that’s why I stopped short of the Heavenly Realm, never ascending...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, my life’s biggest regret isn’t failing to break through the realm above the Heavenly Realm, but watching her fall before me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Hidden Dragon Superior seemed to recall something, eyes filled with reminiscence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But realizing he had digressed, he quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then said: \"Lin Dong, follow your true heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you, if you receive my inheritance, will carry my will to reach the realm above the Heavenly Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surpass those Nine Heavens, truly ascend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these words, his soul remnant slowly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marking Lin Dong’s smooth passage through the Nether Array Palace test...\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-06T01:29:03.147Z",1,"novelbin.me","979369a2fec6189abcb577938559536cd533c2653ca34d6b7ecdbdae80d61c4c","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-2032","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-2030",2938,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-cover.jpg"]
