Tong Pass Ancestor Legacy

Behind the withered old man was a steep, long mountain path leading down a narrow cliff.

Below and to the sides, it seemed as if they were being swallowed by endless dark beasts, pitch black as ink, bottomless, with howling winds like ghosts wailing and wolves howling constantly coming from the Abyss.

The withered old man, hunched over and wearing a black robe, led the way, while Lin Yi, holding Gu Tianxue's hand, followed behind, spreading his Spirit Power.

But in an instant, Lin Yi felt as if his Spirit Power had been plunged into an endless black hole, being frantically devoured by something that restrained him.

Lin Yi hurriedly withdrew his Spirit Power, raised his eyebrows and looked down. He saw an unknown black shadow moving about in the darkness below, like rolling clouds and mist, with sharp roars coming from time to time.

If the Strange Stone hadn't remained motionless, Lin Yi would have suspected that a group of Strange Spirit were lurking beneath it.

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, senior, what is that in the darkness?"

The withered old man turned his head and said, "A Heaven and Earth Power that is born only in darkness is called ' Shadowy Shadow.' It likes to devour the void. There are three portions of it under this Dark Cliff. If the Deputy Prefect needs one, he can choose one."

It turns out it's the Heaven and Earth Power of the dark Shadowy Shadow kind; no wonder it restrains the Spirit Power he emits.

Lin Yi nodded and asked again, "Senior, is there a lot of the Heaven and Earth Power in the Treasure Vault? Is there any Heaven and Earth Power suitable for the Eight Laws of Qiankun and Earth?"

The withered old man said indifferently, "Not much. The Heaven and Earth Power is extremely scarce. In earlier years, the treasure Treasure Vault should have contained no Heaven and Earth Power at Wu Shi. Fortunately, Wushi has gradually collected some Heaven and Earth Power from various places over the years to replenish the Tongguan Prefecture Treasure Vault. As for whether there is the Heaven and Earth Power of the Eight Laws of Qiankun, it depends on your fate."

In the blink of an eye, the three of them, moving with incredible speed, had already traversed the long, dark cliff and arrived at a spacious, strangely shaped tower-like building.

There are about ten Eternal Lamps, scattered in various corners from the first to the eighth floor. The Eternal Lamps have an antique appearance, and the flames flicker and dance, emitting an orange-yellow Light Screen that illuminates the entire interior of the building.

The tower-like building has eight layers, stacked one on top of the other. Each layer has a small Stone Stele that looks like a burial mound, and the treasures of the Treasure Vault are located in the burial mound behind the Stone Stele tablet.

To be honest, this was the first time Lin Yi had ever seen such a tomb-like, tower-like Treasure Vault structure.

"Senior, how do I choose... this treasure?"

The withered old man pointed to the stone tablet above. "Go up the stone steps. You two can choose freely. If the Stone Stele is empty, it means that the treasure inside has been taken. You can only choose the one with a written description."

"But remember, you can't fly around here; you have to keep your feet on the ground, or your life will be in danger."

"Understood, thank you!"

Lin Yi didn't hesitate and immediately helped Gu Tianxue step onto the stone steps, starting to select treasures from the first level.

The first Stone Stele that comes into view reads, "Left by Zhao Helian, the eighth Garrison Commander of Tongguan Prefecture, twenty catties of Purple Grade Spirit Ore, one Gold Grade ' Profound Blood Fruit ', and five superior Martial Dao Spirit Artifact... Whoever takes this treasure must take one of Zhao Helian's descendants as a disciple and prepare a Martial Saint Pill for him."

After reading the inscription on the Stone Stele, Lin Yi's expression turned strange.

The items stored in the Tongguan Prefecture Treasure Vault are treasures collected by successive garrison Garrison Commander.

To access these treasures, one must also follow the dying words of the living inscribed on the Stone Stele.

Looking at the year inscribed on this Stone Stele, it's probably been four or five years since then. Who knows if this famous Garrison Commander Zhao Helian still has any descendants alive?

"Senior, is every Stone Stele like this?"

"Mostly!"

"Do we have to follow the requirements on that Stone Stele?"

"If you don't comply, you don't have to force yourself, but everything in this world has a price. If you can't pay the price, fate will make you pay in other ways."

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. This Treasury Keeper old, but also spoke in a rather mysterious way.

Upon arriving at the second Stone Stele, it was also left by a deceased Garrison Commander.

"... One Martial Dao Spirit Treasure, the Overlord Spear; one Spirit Armor Chainmail; one Mid-Level Martial Saint Pill... Whoever obtains this treasure must exterminate the Strange Spirit of the Dragon Extension Valley Forbidden Ground; there is no time limit..."

Tsk tsk, venturing deep into the Forbidden Land to slay the Strange Spirit, this is much more difficult than before.

Lin Yi shook his head and pulled Gu Tianxue to continue walking down the stone steps.

Ten minutes later, after descending the first level, Lin Yi discovered that the first level was mostly left by the Garrison Commander of past dynasties, and the treasures stored behind the Stone Stele were not particularly valuable to him.

Stepping into the second floor is a bit different. In addition to the remnants of some veteran Garrison Commander, treasures left behind by the Deputy Prefect have begun to appear.

Furthermore, as Lin Yi walked on the stone steps of the second level, he felt a special pressure, as if he were carrying a heavy stone.

Lin Yi turned to look at Gu Tianxue: "Did you feel it?"

Gu Tianxue nodded and looked around. "Hmm, I find that this place is somewhat similar to the Black Mountain Main Vein."

"Tell me if you can't hold on."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's concern, Gu Tianxue immediately revealed a sweet smile, "I am already Martial Saint, unlike before when I was so weak and frail."

Lin Yi didn't say much. He quickly scanned the text on the Stone Stele and then stopped at the end of the second level.

"Left behind by Gen Yan, the Deputy Prefect of Tongguan Prefecture's Southern Guard, is a Third-Rate Heaven and Earth Power ' White Breath Soil.' Whoever obtains this treasure must join the Gen Family as a retainer and provide protection for the Gen Family's descendants."

This is a legacy left by the ancestors of the Gen Family!

The reward is a Heaven and Earth Power, and the requirements are not too strict.

Unfortunately, the Gen Family has long been wiped out, and not a single Gen Family can be found in the Ancient Domain.

Looking at the year on the Stone Stele, wow, it was left more than 4,000 years ago, that's quite early.

Lin Yi thought of Gen Tianliang, the Gen Family disciple who left the ' Gen Mountain ' Domain secret technique in the underground Cave Abode of the Outer Domain. If it weren't for him, the ' Gen Mountain ' Domain secret technique would probably have been lost in the Ancient Domain.

Next, Lin Yi and Gu Tianxue went to the third floor.

The number of Stone Stele here is about half that of the second floor, and the invisible pressure they exert is greater.

"... Left by the Tai Shang Bei Lord Northern Guard Deputy Prefect of Tongguan Prefecture... Whoever obtains this treasure must slay the Millennium Snow Mountain Ice Toad Demon God, with no time limit..."

"... Left by Yan Wuqing, the Deputy Prefect the Southern Guard in Tongguan Prefecture... Whoever obtains this treasure must annihilate the ten most powerful Demonic Cultivator in the Southern Domain, within a hundred years..."

Lin Yi glanced at the inscription on the stone tablet and the relics, but did not linger.

He realized that the more precious the treasure in the Tongguan Prefecture Treasure Vault, the higher the level of its members.

After passing through the fourth floor, Lin Yi quickly led Gu Tianxue to the fifth floor.

Having arrived here, Gu Tianxue's breathing was already somewhat uncomfortable. Her fair face was flushed, and her breathing was rapid, clearly indicating that she was under immense physical pressure.

"Can it still hold on?"

"I... can do it..."

Gu Tianxue gritted her teeth and persevered.

Seeing Gu Tianxue's long legs trembling and her whole body shaking, not at all as relaxed as she had said, Lin Yi sighed and once again carried Gu Tianxue on his back, just like in the Black Mountain secret realm.

Instantly, the pressure on Gu Tianxue disappeared, and it all fell on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was incredibly strong, so this amount of pressure had little effect on him.

Gu Tianxue, who was perched on Lin Yi's back, smiled with satisfaction. Then she stretched out her fair arms and hugged Lin Yi's neck, exhaling softly, "Tell me, do I look heavier?"

"Don't tease me, be serious!"

Lin Yi slapped Gu Tianxue, which finally made her behave.

This girl, she doesn't even consider the occasion when she's being flirtatious.

To be honest, the Tongguan Prefecture Treasure Vault was quite strange and gloomy, and Lin Yi was unwilling to stay any longer.

He continued climbing the stone steps and reached the sixth floor.

There are only a dozen or so Stone Stele tablets remaining in this area, and they were all left by the Deputy Prefect Central Guard Mansion Master of Tongguan Prefecture throughout the ages.

As for the treasures inside the relics, there were many more than those below. Along the way, Lin Yi had already seen five kinds of second-rate Heaven and Earth Power, as well as a first-rate Heaven and Earth Power, ' Wonderful Sound '.

' Wonderful Sound ' is a wondrous and mysterious sound derived from the natural world. It is of great importance to Martial Saint who can comprehend the Domain of 'sound', but Lin Yi does not think much of it.

After completing the sixth floor, Lin Yi proceeded to the seventh floor.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped into this place, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

Compared to the pressure of the sixth level, the pressure on the physical body in this level is dozens of times stronger.

Gu Tianxue hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright."

Lin Yi paused for a moment before continuing forward.

The seventh floor contains even fewer relics, only three.

The small characters on the first Stone Stele read, "... Left by Gu Wushuang, a former Mansion Master of Tongguan Prefecture: four Martial Dao Spirit Treasure, one Gold Grade Alien Star Stone, a Artifact Refining Inheritance, and one piece of the first- Heaven and Earth Power, ' Three Flavored True Flame '... Whoever takes this treasure must serve Tongguan Prefecture for life, be devoted and responsible, and must not have any selfish motives..."

Lin Yi doesn't care about ordinary Martial Dao Spirit Treasure. As long as he has materials from Yao God or Purple Spirit Ore, he can easily refine them.

What truly captivated Lin Yi were the Gold Grade ore, the Alien Star Stone, and the top-tier Heaven and Earth Power, the ' Three Flavored True Flame '.

The former can be integrated into the Martial Dao Heavy Treasure conceived by Lin Yi to increase their potential and power, while the latter is a sacred object for refining weapons and alchemy.

The Tongguan Prefecture Scripture Repository contains only a few brief mentions of the "Three Flavored True Flame," which is said to greatly increase the success rate of refining weapons and alchemy.

If the ' Three Flavored True Flame ' is nurtured to possess spirituality, it can even autonomously refine pills and craft weapons.

The demands left by Gu Wushuang were truly difficult for Lin Yi to meet: to serve Tongguan Prefecture for life and not to have any selfish desires. Even among the people of the Ancient Domain, very few could do such a thing.

Indeed, if it were a genuine request made without any selfish motives, the relics behind the Stone Stele would probably have been taken away long ago.

Lin Yi turned his head and looked at the word "" on the second stone tablet.

"... Left behind by the ancient Gu Moche Mansion Master Gu Mosha of Tongguan Prefecture: three chapters of golden demonic arts, fifteen copies of Golden Ultimate Art from various families such as the Tai Shang Family, the Qian Family, and the Kan Family... Whoever takes this treasure must leave their most precious inheritance in the Treasure Vault vault before their death; they must not keep it for themselves..."

Lin Yi was surprised.

Good heavens, Gold Grade demonic technique, and fifteen Golden Ultimate Art arts from various families. I really don't know how this Gu Moche Mansion Master obtained all these secret arts.

However, the requirements for this type of artifact are not difficult.
