Whoosh!
Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Yellow Springs Storm swallowed Ye Chen, the Five-Lustre Grand Ancestor darted into the tall tower.
There was nothing on the first floor of the tower except for a black stone stele, upon which were written six large blood-red characters: "Those who trespass here shall die!"

"The runes have collapsed!"
