Above the island.
Lin Baichuan stood suspended in the air and raised a hand. The palace immediately blazed with light, shrinking countless times in an instant before turning into a streak of light that landed in his palm.
Looking at the miniature palace in his hand, the smile on Lin Baichuan's face grew increasingly radiant.
Though he had not obtained the inheritance left behind by Langya Hermit this time, he had acquired an Immortal Artifact, along with a star-route map to the cave-dwelling inheritance of an unnamed expert.
