Wu Tian listened closely as Lei Wanjun continued,
"All I know is that this inheritance can only be accepted by a female, and she must have the bloodline of our Lei family."
"Her strength must also reach the True Immortal realm."
"But for so many years, no one in our Lei family has met this condition."
"It wasn't until my daughter emerged from the Lei God Immortal Realm that we finally had someone who could inherit it."
Listening to Lei Wanjun's words, Wu Tian's brows furrowed slightly.
He put on a thoughtful expression, a strange feeling arising within him.
He vaguely recalled hearing Lei Wanjun's words somewhere before.
But at this moment, he couldn't quite place it.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he nodded and said,
"So that's how it is. It seems this inheritance is quite extraordinary."
"It would be wonderful if Qian Jiao could gain significant benefits from this inheritance."
Although Wu Tian was offering his blessings to Lei Qianjiao, she still wore an unhappy expression.
She snorted and said, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Who are you to me? What happens to me is none of your business, is it?"
Lei Qianjiao's words were rather excessive, and for a moment, Lei Wanjun couldn't help but reprimand her in a low voice:
"Daughter, you are becoming increasingly outrageous."
"Even if you are friends with Sect Master Wu, you must still respect his status."
"If you continue to be impolite to Sect Master Wu like this, I will truly get angry."
Lei Qianjiao snorted. Although she didn't say anything more,
her demeanor showed no sign of admitting fault.
Seeing this, Lei Wanjun could only turn to Wu Tian again and say, "Sect Master Wu, my daughter is truly impolite."
"If you wish to punish her, please do so. I have no objections whatsoever."
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I'm used to it."
"She's just like she was when I first met her."
Upon hearing this, Lei Qianjiao felt a surge of shyness.
This awkward feeling made her unsure how to face Wu Tian.
To avoid being ridiculed by him, she quickly said, "Oh, alright, alright."
"Didn't you say we were here to accept the inheritance? Let's just get on with it. Why all this rambling?"
With that, Lei Qianjiao paid no mind to anything else and walked directly to the dragon-shaped statue.
"This girl..."
Lei Wanjun sighed helplessly and then said, "Now, you just need to inject your immortal energy into it."
"However, no one has ever accepted this inheritance in history, so we don't know exactly what will happen."
"You should be careful. Don't let any accidents occur."
Lei Qianjiao's heart was filled with dissatisfaction, and Lei Wanjun's reminder only made her more agitated.
Therefore, she paid no attention to anything else and directly injected her immortal energy into the dragon-shaped statue.
After two seconds, something incredible happened.
The statue trembled slightly, and then the entire space began to shake violently.
Following that, small stones began to fall, giving the impression that everything here would collapse before long.
Wu Tian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately used his immortal energy to stabilize the surrounding anomalies.
This process even made him feel strained.
Clearly, the power triggered by the dragon-shaped statue seemed to have surpassed even him.
At this moment, the statue's eyes lit up with a sun-like brilliance.
A majestic and awe-inspiring aura immediately enveloped the space.
Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes, feeling their hearts pound wildly.
This change continued for several minutes before it stopped. When everyone looked at the statue again, they were stunned by what they saw.
The statue had returned to its original state, but in front of it, a figure had appeared!
It was an incredibly beautiful woman, clad in a green robe, hovering in the air like a legendary fairy.
Despite her unparalleled beauty, no one dared to look directly at her.
It felt as if looking at her for another second would be a great sacrilege.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, and lightning flowed within her beautiful gaze.
She glanced at everyone and then spoke in an incredibly gentle voice:
"My inheritor, I have finally waited for you."
"May I ask what year it is?"
Everyone was stunned. After a moment, Lei Wanjun, as if recalling something, said tremblingly,
"This... could you be the legendary Fairy Lei?"
"Fairy Lei?" Hearing this name, everyone was taken aback.
Then, except for Wu Tian, everyone else wore expressions of shock.
The woman nodded gently, "That's right, I am Fairy Lei."
"It truly feels like a long time since someone mentioned this name."
Wu Tian was filled with confusion, but he could guess that this woman's identity was definitely extraordinary.
Therefore, he asked Lei Wanjun, "Uncle, do you know her?"
Lei Wanjun's body trembled with excitement as he replied, "Know her? Of course, I know her."
"Fairy Lei was the Vice Sect Master during the Lei God era. It was she who led us in establishing the new Holy Lei Sect in the outside world."
"What?!" This answer greatly surprised Wu Tian.
He had not expected this woman to be so formidable.
Lei Wanjun quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Fairy Lei, I am Lei Wanjun, the current patriarch of the Lei family."
"I beg your forgiveness for disturbing your rest, Ancestor!"
Hearing this, Wu Tian was even more astonished.
Ancestor?
Could it be that this woman had a blood relation to the Lei family?
Fairy Lei looked at Lei Wanjun, her beautiful eyes filled with nostalgia, and said, "The Lei family."
"When I fell, I worried that the newly established Holy Lei Sect and the recently born Lei family would not be able to pass on their legacy smoothly."
"But seeing you today, it seems my worries were unnecessary."
After speaking, Fairy Lei's gaze fell upon Lei Qianjiao, "Child, are you the inheritor I have been waiting for?"
Lei Qianjiao was still immersed in Fairy Lei's peerless grace and only then snapped back to reality.
She quickly said,
"Greetings, Fairy Lei. I... my name is Lei Qianjiao. I am a daughter of the Lei family and the Saintess of the Holy Lei Sect."
"Today is the day I come to accept the inheritance."
Fairy Lei nodded and said, "To cultivate to High-grade True Immortal in just over fifty years, it seems your talent is not inferior to mine at that time."
"You have met the conditions, so I shall pass on the inheritance to you..."
Fairy Lei's words were not yet finished when her delicate brows suddenly furrowed again.
Then she looked towards Wu Tian.
Meeting Fairy Lei's gaze, Wu Tian was also taken aback.
He asked somewhat sheepishly, "Um, Fairy Lei, why... why are you looking at me?"
