Risking her life had only been a feint. Lin Qi had never expected to injure Gong Liu much; her main goal had been to divert Gong Liu's attention and seize the chance to flee into the Inheritance Palace for refuge.
Yet the moment she entered the palace, Lin Qi discovered that there was nothing around her at all, nowhere to conceal herself.
Countless passages stretched in every direction around her.
Unlike the passages in Six Gods Cave, the passages in the Inheritance Palace were broad and brightly lit, not at all like a place that concealed danger.
Gong Liu chased after her relentlessly like a rabid dog. With no time to think, Lin Qi randomly chose a palace and darted inside.
The instant she entered the passage, the scenery around her changed. The space expanded countless times over, and dazzling white light filled her vision.
The road ahead seemed carpeted with shattered ice, glittering beneath the white radiance and casting off a piercing brilliance.
At the end of the road lay a sleeping Ice Phoenix. Even from a great distance, it exuded a soul-shaking pressure.
Lin Qi looked closely and realized that the ground was not covered in shattered ice, but Phoenix Crystals.
Phoenix Crystals were treasures produced by the Ice Phoenix Clan. They contained dense icy soul power and were immensely beneficial to the cultivation of the Ice Phoenix Clan.
This item was extraordinarily rare.
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, Lin Qi had once considered searching for Phoenix Crystals to cultivate with. Yet after scouring countless regions, she had found nothing. She had never expected to see so many within the Ice Phoenix Clan's Inheritance Palace.
Once again, she marveled at the Ice Phoenix Clan's profound reserves.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Qi took a step forward.
