A History Never Heard Before
Lin Ying carefully scanned the surroundings with her Divine Sense. After confirming that there was no danger, she led the Wenren sisters toward the Golden-Thread Lingzhi.
For her, the matter of inheritance could be discussed later; the most important thing was what Lu Yang had instructed her to do.
Soon, they arrived at the platform. Lin Ying reached out and picked the two Golden-Thread Lingzhi, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Lin Ying suddenly remembered something; Lu Yang seemed to have said before that he would let her obtain a Golden-Thread Lingzhi on her own.
She's currently taking care of the Wenren sisters; I wonder if that counts as her being alone?
Um... I guess I should count?
After all, the Wenren sisters only provided the location; she did everything else herself.
If that doesn't work, then she'll have to look for other Golden-Thread Lingzhi.
Just as Lin Ying was pondering, she suddenly felt a cool sensation between her brows, and at the same time, her skin and flesh felt a slight tingling sensation.
This feeling lasted only one breath before disappearing.
Lin Ying, however, was pleasantly surprised and delighted.
She had experienced this situation several times before.
It was the reward Lu Yang her after she completed the task he assigned!
It seems that this time it meets the requirements.
Just as Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, Wenren Yu and Wenren Ge noticed that Lin Ying's skin had become even more radiant than before, looking crystal clear, like beautiful jade.
Although her appearance seemed unchanged, her eyes had become even gentler and more tender, like a soft ball of cotton.
Wenren Yu and Wenren Ge were both stunned for a moment.
What a nice view...
Wenren Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Yingying, you look even more beautiful!"
Wenren Ge nodded, a hint of envy in her voice. "Sister Yingying's beauty is truly unparalleled in the world."
Lin Ying felt a little shy but also a little happy after being praised by the two.
Which woman doesn't want to become more beautiful?
Besides, she'll become even more beautiful; Lu Yang will be happy then, won't he?
She smiled gently and said, "You must be mistaken. How could I have changed in such a short time? It's probably because I found this Golden-Thread Lingzhi and accomplished something that has been on my mind. My mood has improved, and my complexion is better."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Yu nodded in realization.
She also felt that it was impossible for a person to undergo such a drastic change in a short period of time, which must be just as Sister Yingying said.
But, Sister Yingying is so beautiful...
Just then, Lin Ying looked towards the cave inside the platform and whispered, "The inheritance that the White Bone Demon mentioned should be inside. Should we go in?"
Wenren Yu and Wenren Ge recovered from their daze over Lin Ying's beauty, exchanged a glance, and both nodded.
"Let's go then."
Lin Ying led the two into the cave.
The cave was deep, but unlike the outside, it wasn't filled with eerie mist.
Because the aura of metal and stone is particularly strong, the stone walls inside the passage are covered with these mineral gems.
Some of the gems emitted a faint glow, making the entire cave passage appear to shimmer with light.
The Divine Sense that had been suppressed by the Yin Sha Qi had recovered considerably, and so had the vision.
The three discovered traces of residual Yin Sha Qi within the passage, unsure whether they were left by the White Bone Demon had entered through some means, or whether they were originally present.
They walked along the passage for a while and soon reached its end.
At the end of the passage was an earthen-yellow light barrier, upon which flowed profound Dao patterns—the Dao patterns of Principle.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ying couldn't help but say, "This light barrier is extremely strong; it was probably left behind by the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator."
This brought joy to both Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu.
"It's actually a defensive shield left behind by Nascent Soul True Lord?! There must be quite a lot of inheritance inside!" Wenren Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Wenren Ge pursed her red lips and nodded slightly.
Lin Ying glanced around and said, "I just don't know how to get through this defensive barrier."
Wenren Yu, somewhat eager to try, said, "Let's go take a look!"
The three of them stepped forward and walked towards the light shield.
Soon, they arrived in front of the light shield.
However, before they could check if any defensive shields were activated around them, a beam of light swept across their bodies from those shields.
The next moment, the light shield fluctuated, forming a circular gap.
The three of them were stunned for a moment upon seeing this.
Then, Wenren Yu revealed a hint of joy and said, "The light barrier actually opened directly? Let's go in quickly!"
She walked quickly toward the light shield, while the composed Wenren Ge hesitated slightly.
She said, "Isn't it strange that this defensive barrier is activated like this? Isn't it dangerous to go inside?"
Wenren Yu said, "I don't think so. After all, aren't there quite a few similar inheritances in this Ancient Yue Secret Realm? Some of them seem to be able to be unlocked as long as one has human blood."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Ge thought about it and felt that it made sense.
After all, many people had entered the Ancient Yue Secret Realm before and encountered some inheritances.
After numerous experiments, the six top powers have summarized a set of rules for initiating inheritance.
Some inheritances can be directly activated in the surrounding areas, while others require cultivators who have mastered the corresponding Great Dao and have certain requirements for their understanding of the Great Dao. Still others require some battles and trials to activate the inheritance. Of course, there is also a situation where only human bloodline is needed to activate it directly.
This situation is the rarest.
They never expected to run into each other this time.
Lin Ying didn't know much about the Ancient Yue Secret Realm. She wasn't particularly interested in exploring the secret realm; her main goal was to find the Golden-Thread Lingzhi in the Ancient Yue Secret Realm, so her knowledge was limited to that aspect.
Wenren Ge and Wenren Yu both thought there was no problem, Lin Ying followed them.
However, she held third-tier talismans in both hands, ready to use them if anything went wrong.
Of course, besides that, she had her greatest confidence: the Spiritual Connection Ring that Lu Yang had given her, which could even withstand an attack from Nascent Soul Perfection.
This is also the source of her confidence to go in.
After the three entered, they saw that the interior was a huge hollow. Above the hollow, there were crystals that emitted a golden glow. The stone walls on all sides were flat, as if they had been deliberately cut.
On this stone wall are carved murals, which seem to tell a story or record a period of history.
In the center of the void, there was a giant palace. The palace tiles seemed to be made of gilded metal, while the walls shone with an earthy yellow light, giving it a heavy and solemn appearance.
Lin Ying and the other two did not rush into the palace, but instead looked at the murals around them with curiosity.
This mural mainly depicts the appearance of cracks in the earth, from which Yin Sha Qi surged forth. Much of this Yin Sha Qi radiated into living beings, turning many into Sha Demons that wreaked havoc on the world.
In addition, powerful and ferocious monsters rushed out of the rift and fought against the powerful cultivators.
Ultimately, the powerful cultivator slew the monster and built this palace.
The three of them looked somewhat bewildered by the mural.
Wenren Yu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Is this part of Qin Province's history? I've never seen it before. Xiao Ge, you've always liked reading miscellaneous books, have you seen it?"
Wenren Ge thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No."
Wenren Yu looked at Lin Ying: "Sister Yingying, what about you?"
Lin Ying shook her head. "I don't have any either, but this rift is probably unusual; it might connect to other planes."
Lin Ying had heard about the Blood Devil Realm from Lu Yang, as well as about the True Void and the Void Evil Entity, so she had some guesses about the mural.
"Other dimensions?" Wenren Yu in surprise, "From the Spirit Realm?"
Wenren Yu didn't know much about other planes, but what she knew most clearly was that cultivators would go to the Spirit Realm after ascending to immortality.
Lin Ying shook her head. "I don't know, of course, it's also possible that this is just a story."
However, even Lin Ying herself didn't believe what she said.
After all, the central palace appears in this story.
Wenren Yu said with a grin, "No matter what, we'll know once we go inside the palace. Judging from the murals, it seems there are quite a few treasures hidden inside! Let's go!"
