At this moment, You Huang was already performing beyond his usual abilities, maintaining his attack. He would only have a chance to kill this person once the barrier was broken.

The array was torn apart under the immense power, and each arranged array flag shattered, along with the talismans.

After the Netherworld Power destroyed layer upon layer of defense talismans, less than ten seconds had passed.

Shen Wang suddenly released the mana he had recovered, while also completely draining the mana from his acupoints.

"If I had only accumulated more mana in the acupoints, this wouldn't have been so difficult."

Shen Wang thought to himself as the Tai Chi Yin Yang Five Elements Diagram began to glow again, slowly blocking the Nether Pillar.

You Huang widened his eyes and let out a low growl, squeezing out his own power, trying to break through in the end and kill this person.

Shen Wang's energy was being rapidly depleted, and just as the light pillar was about to break through, words appeared before You Huang.

"You have failed the trial and are about to become a slave."

Boom!

A ring of colorful radiance fell upon You Huang, shattering the Netherworld Power he had unleashed beyond its limits, obliterating it with a streak of colored light.

"No, why is this happening!"

You Huang let out an unwilling roar, and the next moment, he was engulfed by the stream of light, losing his voice and silhouette.

"What consequence warranted such a hysterical response?"

Shen Wang watched You Huang's reaction with confusion, exhaled a breath, and began to pant heavily, "Fighting against this guy was too stressful; it's still a matter of insufficient cultivation."

At this moment, with a wave of space, Shen Wang was illuminated by the colorful stream, and a voice filled with emotion appeared: "Congratulations on passing the final test, qualifying to inherit this cave mansion and become the master's disciple."

Shen Wang was astonished, "As expected, you have wisdom."

"As expected from a candidate exceeding the master's requirements, knowing about me without ever seeing me."

The voice responded, and then as the light shifted, a figure appeared in front of Shen Wang.

It was a child about ten years old, wearing cyan clothes. He had rosy lips and white teeth, not possessing the usual innocence of a child but instead conveyed maturity and steadiness.

Shen Wang widened his eyes, "Are you the Array Spirit?"

"Sort of, but you could also say not,"

The Cyan Robed Child replied noncommittally.

"Could you explain in detail?"

Seeing the Cyan Robed Child's good attitude, Shen Wang continued to ask.

"My true form is an elixir combined with the Array Spirit, becoming the Spirit of this cave mansion space. So you could say I'm an Array Spirit or an elixir turned into a human mind."

The Cyan Robed Child smiled as he explained his origins.

Shen Wang listened, dumbfounded, "It can actually be like this!"

He had only thought of an Array Spirit because that's what he encountered through the various arrays, inferring the situation from the reactions of the arrays.

"It's indeed a bit special. Ten thousand years ago, the master created me, taught me various array knowledge, and then merged me with the spirit array here, thus mastering the entire cave mansion space."

The Cyan Robed Child nodded.

"Amazing, so it was really to select a descendant that the cave mansion appeared, letting so many people in and then choosing from among them."

Shen Wang suddenly understood, somewhat grateful that despite relying on the system to upgrade, he could still be selected. It felt a little like an unfair advantage.

"That's about right. However, the reason it appeared is because this space was being refined. The commotion during its formation was too large, revealing its whereabouts and coincidentally aligning with the master's arrangements, so I went with the flow."

The Cyan Robed Child casually revealed another piece of information.

Shen Wang glanced around, "Refining space!"

"Correct, the entire cave mansion was formed when the master found a space fragment all those years ago. The master controlled this space fragment with the spirit array, transforming it into a cave mansion, then combining it with Earth Core Magma, using the Fire of the Earth's Core to refine this space, preparing to refine it into a Spatial Spiritual Treasure."

The Cyan Robed Child showed a reminiscent expression, "Unfortunately, the space is too large to complete in a moment. The master could progress no further in cultivation and had to ascend to the Upper Realm, leaving various arrangements to continue refining this space. Now, ten thousand years later, success is finally at hand, so you can understand how slow the refining process was."

Shen Wang was dumbfounded, thoroughly shocked.

Spatial Spiritual Treasure! Refined for ten thousand years! It completely exceeded his comprehension.

He only knew that Spirit Treasures are a whole level higher than Spiritual Artifacts, but he had no idea just how powerful they truly were, as he hadn't heard of any Spirit Treasure in his world.

Thinking of something, Shen Wang's eyes lit up, "Doesn't that mean this cave mansion can be taken away directly in the future?"

"Yes, the master once refined this piece of space intending it to be a portable cave mansion treasure, although it took far too long to complete."

The Cyan Robed Child smiled, "However, if it weren't for that, such a good thing wouldn't fall to a Golden Core Cultivator like you."

"Indeed."

Shen Wang nodded repeatedly, marveling, "A Spatial Spiritual Treasure truly isn't something someone of my level should obtain; it's all thanks to your master's arrangements."

"That's true, but your opportunities are quite remarkable. Having a Spiritual Artifact now is already excellent, even that prince lacks one."

The Cyan Robed Child said, "Sometimes luck is very important. The Spiritual Artifact you obtained before became your foundation, giving you the chance to pass the final trial. Now, obtaining this cave mansion will become a new foundation for you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang felt slightly speechless, "I'm this outstanding, so if that woman really killed me, wouldn't you be left without a suitable candidate?"

"I arranged the trial based on your situation. It was tough for her to kill you within the time limit, wasn't it?"

The Cyan Robed Child looked at Shen Wang with deep meaning, "Hadn't you fully summoned that Spiritual Artifact? Even if you ran out of mana, hiding inside would be enough to last until the time ended."

Shen Wang awkwardly chuckled, realizing he was thoroughly seen through by the Cyan Robed Child, and said embarrassedly, "That's true, it's just that such actions seem too shameless."

He changed the subject, "I have a question: why haven't I encountered any herbs over four thousand years old in this cave mansion?"

"I picked them; you'll understand the specifics once you inherit this space cave mansion."

The Cyan Robed Child replied with a smile.

"So they were picked; no wonder I hadn't seen any."

Shen Wang suddenly understood, finally solving some earlier mysteries,

He asked, "How can I inherit the cave mansion?"

"Your strength is insufficient for now, you need to cultivate the master's cultivation technique to the Nascent Soul Level to fully command the Five Extremes Void Transformation Array."

"Cultivation technique?"

Shen Wang acknowledged, "These are all arrangements left by your master, I presume."

"Yes, you shouldn't address them that way in the future. It's better to call them your teacher."

The Cyan Robed Child smiled, "I'm also helping the master receive a disciple."

Shen Wang pondered, "Oh, is Teacher still alive?"

"He's alive. If you ascend to the Upper Realm, you should be able to meet him."

The Cyan Robed Child smiled, "You'd better successfully achieve Divinity Transformation to have a chance to reach the Upper Realm. The connection between this world and the Upper Realm is weakening, and your time is running out."

Shen Wang paused, "Connection?"

"Yes, it was once relatively easy to ascend to the Upper Realm from the Lower Realm, but ten thousand years ago it became difficult, and it continues to grow harder."

The Cyan Robed Child said gravely, "If the two realms cannot connect, you'll be stuck here for life."

"If I go to the Upper Realm, Divinity Transformation Cultivation might not amount to much there."

Shen Wang remained unexcited; with the system, even if he couldn't reach the Upper Realm, he wouldn't be confined to this world.

"It would be considered a mid-low-level cultivator; the specifics, I'm not sure about, you need to find out for yourself."

The Cyan Robed Child shook his head and took out a Five-Colored Stone, "I forgot to mention something. You and your teacher share the same attribute."

"The same!"

Shen Wang was incredibly surprised, "No wonder the array's power here is shown in color; it also has Five Elements Attribute."

"Yes, which is why you're very suitable to cultivate the master's technique. It just so happened that the array's power exhibited is colored because it also has a Five Elements Attribute."

The Cyan Robed Child tossed the stone, "Here, take it. This was left by the master. Just refine it, and you'll receive the cultivation technique, beginning the inheritance of this cave mansion will become clear."

Shen Wang received the stone and was finally relieved, "So, what's next?"

"From now on, practice diligently and be prepared for the challenges to come."

The Cyan Robed Child advised, "I'll be here, watching your progress. Remember, the master chose you, and that is significant."
