Lin Chen felt his body plummeting rapidly, his vision engulfed in darkness.

"Damn this old Taoist, is he trying to kill me?"

He tried to activate his Spiritual Power to stop the fall, but it seemed as if his Spiritual Power had vanished.

Suddenly, a light appeared before him, and then all he could see was an expanse of white.

Lin Chen felt as if he were traveling through a time corridor, with fragments of his own life on either side.

He saw Zhao Xiaowen, saw Xue Ying, saw Qin Lan... An Xiaodi; his speed of falling grew faster and faster until at last, the images on either side turned into mere phantoms, which he could hardly discern even with the help of Tianyan Divine Eye.

Finally, Lin Chen felt himself land, and looking around, in front of him was an ethereal figure, flickering with a dazzling light, resembling an old man, but his face was indiscernible.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that after a thousand years, someone would come here again. Fortunate one, this is the space of the Tower of Prophecy. You are now a consciousness, and I am merely a remnant soul. You can call me the Nameless Predecessor," the shadowy figure said lightly, as if knowing what he was thinking.

"Junior Lin Chen pays respects to the Nameless Predecessor. I have heard from Xu Kongzi that many strong individuals have visited before; why do you say I am the first one after a thousand years?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.

The Nameless Predecessor smiled faintly, "The Tower of Prophecy has eight levels. At most, they could only enter up to the seventh level. You, however, are now in the eighth level, which only eight people have ever reached before."

"The eighth level, eight people!" Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, suddenly remembering the eight legacies.

Could it be that the eight ancient secret techniques are what the eight people who entered here took away?

With that thought, Lin Chen's heart surged with overwhelming joy.

The shadowy figure watched Lin Chen, and then said with a faint smile, "It's unexpected that you possess the Tianyan Legacy. No wonder you made it here. Hehe, it seems you truly are the descendant of 'that person'."

"The descendant of 'that person'? Do you know of my origins?" Lin Chen's heart leapt.

"Hehe, that person was the first to come here. Not only did he receive the secret technique inheritance of Tianyan, but he also received an additional reward," the Nameless Predecessor spoke with a chuckle.

"An additional reward, what is it?" Lin Chen gasped in surprise, asking urgently.

The Nameless Predecessor laughed aloud, "Fate has its own arrangements in the dark; some things you must discover for yourself. Since you are here, I can grant you a legacy, as well as a clue about your origins."

"A legacy?" Hearing the Nameless Predecessor's words, Lin Chen's heart soared.

His own Tianyan Divine Eye was an ancient secret technique. If he were to receive another legacy, he would have two legacies. One Tianyan was already incredible, making him excited at the prospect of the impending legacy.

With a wave of the Nameless Predecessor's hand, the space suddenly filled with innumerable spheres, each shimmering with a fantastical light, indiscernible even with the aid of the Tianyan Divine Eye.

"These spheres are the ancient legacies; choose one, let your feelings guide you," the Nameless Predecessor said softly.

Lin Chen fixed his gaze on the spheres floating nearby, and slowly reached out his hand.

When his touch met the sphere, it felt smooth and slick.

At that moment, Lin Chen's eyes locked onto one particular sphere. It was different from the others, much smaller in size, and what surprised him was that while the other spheres gathered together in pairs or threes, this one stood alone, separate from the rest, exuding an air of supremacy.

That's the one, Lin Chen decided, reaching toward the glowing sphere.

Crash! The sphere shattered.

Golden light instantly infused Lin Chen's mind.

The Nameless Predecessor watched the sphere Lin Chen had chosen, pausing momentarily before bursting into hearty laughter.

"The legacy of time, lad, you're quite lucky!"

Time Legacy, upon hearing the words of the nameless senior, Lin Chen was startled.

The nameless senior smiled faintly, "The Time Legacy allows control over time, but this legacy is so defying that you must practice unceasingly. Whether you can master it will depend on your talent."

At that moment, Lin Chen noticed that there suddenly appeared a door within the Tianyan space; it was a closed door with four large characters written upon it: Gate of Time.

"Only by pushing open the Gate of Time will you have a chance to master the Time Legacy, young man, do your best," said the nameless senior with a chuckle.

Lin Chen nodded, "Thank you for the guidance, senior. What about my origins?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the nameless senior smiled lightly and waved his hand. Suddenly, Lin Chen found himself inside a luxurious villa.

The villa was grand, with all the colors in warm tones.

Then, Lin Chen heard the sound of water coming from upstairs. He followed the sound and went upstairs where the noise originated from a room.

Lin Chen tried to push the door open, but to his surprise, he found that his body could pass right through it.

Holy smokes, this is awesome, Lin Chen thought with joy in his heart and as he walked into the room, he froze.

It was clearly a girl's boudoir; the room was a bit messy, with panties, shirts, and long silk stockings all thrown carelessly on the bed.

Could the clue be the girl taking a shower in the bathroom?

With a thought, Lin Chen started hesitating. After all, it was somewhat inappropriate to enter while the girl was bathing. However, this was about his own origins, so Lin Chen couldn't wait for the girl to come out of the bathroom. He walked towards it.

Entering the mist-filled bathroom, a graceful and hazy figure appeared before Lin Chen.

Holy smokes, even though Lin Chen knew he couldn't touch the beauty, the sight that made blood race still involuntarily stirred a reaction in him.

The girl turned on the faucet and rinsed the foam from her body. She pushed back her hair, revealing a face as stunning as an angel's.

Although Lin Chen knew that everything before him was just an illusion, seeing her unclad form still made his heart uncontrollably race, and his hand reached out towards the girl's smooth, buttery skin.

Just then, the scene suddenly vanished, and Lin Chen found himself back in the void space.

Lin Chen felt incredibly frustrated; it was like watching the build-up to the climax in an Island Nation movie, only for the power to go out at the crucial moment, an intolerable torment for a man.

The nameless senior laughed, "How was it? You've had your visual feast, but let's not indulge your hands."

Holy smokes, so this old guy saw everything that just happened in his unsightly moment.

"Is she the clue?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

The nameless senior nodded, "Correct, she is the clue to your origins."

"Alright, young fellow, time's about up. I should send you out now, goodbye." As his voice faded, the space before Lin Chen's eyes suddenly disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, Lin Chen found himself sitting in front of a cliff, and Xu Kongzi was standing beside him with a peculiar look on his face.

"What did you see in there?" Xu Kongzi asked, looking at Lin Chen with a puzzled expression.

Lin Chen gave an embarrassed smile, "Senior Xu Kongzi, no one would tell others the secrets they saw inside, right?"

Xu Kongzi coughed and pointed down at Lin Chen, "I didn't mean that. I meant that you just had a reaction down there."

Pfft! Lin Chen almost toppled over and nearly fell off the cliff for real.
