"They actually reacted! The Immortal Ancestor's inheritance is in there!" It was only because Li Xiaoya had sensed the reaction of the Three Treasures of the Immortal Spirit Realm that he had entered so decisively. Otherwise, he would still have been hesitating...
However...
The instant Li Xiaoya entered the passage, his two clones turned into specks of light and flew behind the enormous statue, hiding inside a crevice in the shadows...
As a precaution, Li Xiaoya had still released two clones. If anything happened to his true body, he would at least have his clones... This time, however, he had released his wood-element and fire-element clones...
Whoosh! Li Xiaoya raced into the passage at incredible speed...
All he heard was...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of earthshaking explosions and metallic clashes echoed through the passage. Clearly, the exit could not have been too far away... Besides those sounds, there were cultivators roaring, chanting incantations, and forming hand seals. Evidently, quite a few cultivators were there...
It does seem to be White True King and those other cultivators! Hearing the sounds, Li Xiaoya could not help thinking this. Five-colored spiritual light surged over his body as he instantly activated the Five-Element Shield Art, then put on a suit of armor...

The earthshaking explosions and the cultivators' furious roars grew clearer and clearer... They were almost right ahead...
Suddenly!
"Ah!" An utterly piercing scream
