Ruins Dispute, Mysterious Legacy

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, and both attacked simultaneously. Jieyin's Green Lotus bloomed with myriad Buddhist lights, suppressing Qin Yu. Zhunti swung the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, bringing forth streaks of brilliant light to attack Qin Yu's vital points.

Qin Yu's figure was like lightning, treading the Chaos Steps to skillfully evade their attacks. At the same time, he swung the treasure sword in his hand, and Chaos Sword Qi crisscrossed, slashing towards Jieyin and Zhunti. Wherever the sword qi passed, the space cracked like a shattered mirror.

Jieyin's expression changed slightly, and he hastily circulated his Magic Power. The Green Lotus's light flared, blocking the Chaos Sword Qi. Zhunti seized the opportunity to press forward, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree transforming into a stream of light, thrusting directly at Qin Yu's chest. Qin Yu let out a cold snort, raising a hand to unleash a punch. The fist's might contained boundless Chaos Power, colliding with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. In an instant, light overflowed, and the roaring sound stirred up sand waves dozens of feet high in the surrounding desert.

The three fought fiercely before the Ruins, locked in a difficult struggle. Just then, the gate of the Ruin's palace slowly opened, and a powerful suction emanated from within, instantly engulfing them.

After being drawn into the Ruin's palace, Qin Yu and the other two found themselves in a vast space. The surrounding walls were covered with ancient Runes and mysterious patterns. In the center, a stone platform held an ancient book emitting a seven-colored glow.

Qin Yu's heart stirred, knowing this might be the Mysterious Legacy. His figure flashed, and he rushed towards the stone platform first. Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti, forgetting their fight, quickly pursued him.

Just as Qin Yu was about to touch the ancient book, countless vines suddenly surged from the ground, coiling around his limbs like spiritual snakes. Qin Yu circulated his Magic Power, attempting to break free, but found the vines incredibly tough. Jieyin and Zhunti arrived in time, intending to snatch the ancient book.

At the critical moment, a resolute glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. He unleashed all his Chaos Power, roared, and his body blazed with light, forcefully breaking the vines. He reached out and grabbed the ancient book, instantly flipping it open. In that instant, seven-colored light enveloped the entire space, and Qin Yu felt a torrent of knowledge flood his mind—it was the key method for breaking through the bottleneck of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Seeing Qin Yu obtain the legacy, Jieyin and Zhunti showed unwillingness, but they also knew they were powerless to contend further. They could only watch as Qin Yu put away the ancient book. Qin Yu looked at the two and said coldly, "Consider yourselves lucky this time. If you dare to obstruct me again, don't blame me for being impolite." With that, he transformed into a stream of light and left the Ruins.

Qin Yu returned to the Intercepting Sect with the Mysterious Legacy, immediately causing cheers throughout the sect. However, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon caused by his secluded cultivation was too astonishing, attracting countless gazes. Powerful Spiritual Senses surged towards the Intercepting Sect like tides, attempting to probe its secrets.

The Intercepting Sect's Sect Protecting Great Formation flickered, fully resisting the probing of these Spiritual Senses. Qin Yu's personal disciples stood within the formation, their expressions solemn. Golden Spirit Holy Mother held the Dragon Tiger Ruyi, gazing at the sky with determined eyes, and said, "All my junior brothers and sisters, you must protect the Sect Master's seclusion. We absolutely cannot let those with ill intentions succeed!"

Just then, streaks of black lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, striking down towards the Sect Protecting Great Formation like dragons. It turned out that some minor forces, jealous of the Intercepting Sect's fortune, had joined forces to secretly attack, intending to destroy the sect's formation and disrupt Qin Yu's cultivation. The Intercepting Sect disciples unleashed their magic treasures, resisting the lightning. For a time, the light of magic treasures and lightning intertwined above the Intercepting Sect, the roaring sounds deafening.

Wudang Holy Mother swung her long sword, sword qi crisscrossing, shattering streaks of lightning. She shouted loudly, "We disciples of the Intercepting Sect would rather die than yield! Today, we will fight these petty villains; we cannot let them ruin the Sect Master's great endeavor!" The other disciples responded, their morale greatly boosted.
