Xiao Yang entered the Bronze Immortal Palace with his companions and claimed Phoenix Blood Red Gold, which triggered a thousandfold return of Phoenix Blood Immortal Gold that could help repair the Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron. After opening a secret chamber with the Ye Clan bloodline, the group discovered the palace’s core and learned it tested those seeking the Devouring Heaven Empress’s legacy.

• Hong Qingcheng told Xiao Yang that the Dao patterns were fake and the inheritance was bait.
