Ruins? Inheritance?

Before Lin Yi could reply, Tuoba Kuan gave Dugu Wang a wink, then quickly disappeared into the blood mist.

"He's really clever for his age; he runs really fast."

Lin Yi shook his head, but did not leave in the same hurry as the two.

He learned from the Jianmu Divine Tree that powerful beings with self-awareness within the Ancient Secret Realm would accumulate Profound Yellow Qi.

This special Spiritual Qi, which helps the world grow, has a subtle yet profound benefit for all living beings.

Lin Yi wondered if the Skeletal Hand had any self-awareness. Why was it so territorial and a mutated monster that would drive away powerful outsiders? Its lair might be filled with treasures.

Then, Lin Yi's figure flashed, stepping into the crack in the ground created by the Skeletal Hand.

The fissure in the ground wasn't deep, only a few thousand meters long, Lin Yi reached the bottom in just two breaths.

However, as soon as Lin Yi arrived, he spotted an old acquaintance.

Griffith.

Griffith still looks like Bruce.

"Lin Yi?"

Upon discovering that the visitor was Lin Yi, Griffith, who was exploring a huge blood swamp below, breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought the Ancient Domain people had tracked him down and caught up with him.

Lin Yi asked, "What are you doing here?"

"No time to say more. That thing is probably coming back soon. Let's hide it first."

At this moment, Griffith trusted Lin Yi completely, and he used some kind of Sorcery to conceal Lin Yi's aura.

The next moment, with a loud bang, Skeletal Hand fell from the crack in the ground and embedded itself in the blood and mud.

The silt bubbled and sputtered, and the Skeletal Hand, along with half an arm, disappeared into it in no time.

Lin Yi sensed that Griffith seemed to understand the habits of the Skeletal Hand, and asked again, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to search for the ruins of a Mage Tower left behind by a Great Shaman."

Griffith didn't want to say too much, but seeing that Lin Yi was still looking at him, he had no choice but to say, "Back then, a Southern Domain Great Shaman perished in the Blood Curse Swamp. I obtained relevant information about him and followed him all the way here. As for the Ancient Map that I copied for you, that's also from that."

Lin Yi nodded. "Then what is this Skeletal Hand?"

"Half a hand of a legendary Shaman."

"Legendary Shaman?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. This Skeletal Hand has an extremely powerful physical body. Could the legendary Shaman possesses such a body be a master of the ultimate physical body style?

Where is the Great Shaman's ruins you're looking for?

Griffith said, "As far as I know, this Palm Monster needs to be lured away before it moves, right in the blood-red mud below. I was originally planning to risk it alone, but thankfully you came. Why don't we explore the ruins together?"

"It's just the ruins of Great Shaman; I'm not interested."

Lin Yi shook his head.

Griffith shook his head. "If it were just an ordinary Great Shaman's ruins, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths. But this Great Shaman once returned from the Apocalypse Continent, and the ruins he left behind might contain information about the Apocalypse Continent."

"Really?"

"I have no reason to lie to you. After all, as you said, among the Descendant, only the two of us are the standard-bearers, and the benefits of cooperation far outweigh everything else."

"Okay, if that's the case, I can give it a try..."

Just as Lin Yi and Griffith were about to join forces, two figures rapidly descended from the still-healing crevice in the ground.

Upon sensing the presence of the newcomer, Lin Yi quickly took out the Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl and concealed him along with Griffith.

Although the concealment Sorcery of the Griffith could deceive the Skeletal Hand, it could not escape the perception of the Ninth Realm Martial Saint at such close range.

"We've searched high and low without finding it, but unexpectedly, we've actually found the place of inheritance by following a Mage."

The one who said this was none other than Tuoba Kuan, who had just left.

Dugu Wang looked at the blood and sludge bubbling at the end of the crevice and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure this is the place? If we disturb that hand again, we'll probably be driven out of the Blood Curse Swamp."

"We just need to be careful. It's a pity we ran into Lin Yi earlier, otherwise we could have entered the inheritance ground before the Palm Monster returned. Right now, we still need to put some effort into guarding against that gatekeeper Palm Monster."

"I don't think we need to rush. What if we went to the wrong place just now? We'd be caught red-handed by this Palm Monster, and right now we're in the middle of it all..."

"You're quite vocal in defending that Descender Prefecture Lord. I don't know what's gotten into the Zun Sheng and the Prefecture Lord, to tolerate a Descender becoming a high-ranking official in Tongguan Prefecture. If it weren't for Lin Yi helping me resolve the Black Qi within me, I would have definitely caused a scene..."

Perhaps because there was no one around, the two of them didn't have too many concerns about their conversation.

Tuoba Kuan then began to complain.

Lin Yi listened without changing his expression.

Tuoba Kuan, that old fellow, seemed to look Descender and was quite dissatisfied with them.

It's very difficult. I'll write it down.

There will be a day of reckoning later.

However, what is the story behind the place of inheritance that Tuoba Kuan mentioned?

Lin Yi looked at Griffith.

However, Griffith also looked puzzled.

"I don't know either. According to the information I found, there is indeed a Great Shaman's ruins, the Mage Tower, here. As for what the inheritance site is, I don't know."

Lin Yi nodded; he could tell that Griffith wasn't lying.

Then, Lin Yi speculated. "Could it be a legacy left by that legendary Shaman? After he died, he left behind a piece of his hand to guard the door?"

"That's possible, but if it's Mage's legacy, it probably won't be very attractive to your Ancient Domain ancestors."

Lin Yi pressed further. "Tell me the truth, where did you get your information?"

Griffith shook his head again, a bitter face on his face. "I really can't say this. I have System mission. If I say it, I'll be Curse."

During their conversation, Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang were constantly trying to resist the corrosive effects of the mud and blood to descend to deeper places.

It turns out that the blood and silt in front of them is extremely corrosive, even Martial Dao Spirit Treasure cannot withstand it.

"Brother Dugu, if it's truly hopeless, then the only way forward is for your ancestors to obtain that item from the Sea of Stars..."

Urged on by Tuoba Kuan, Dugu Wang took out a clam shell that was three zhang wide.

The clam shell was entirely bluish-black and incredibly heavy, seemingly made of a special material.

After experimenting for a while, the two found that the blood and silt could not corrode the clam shell, so they curled up, crawled into the clam shell, and sank down.

After a long time, when they could no longer sense the presence of the two, Lin Yi and Griffith finally emerged.

Lin Yi spoke first, asking, "Do you have a way to get down?"

"I did some research before you came. None of my magical Shaman Artifact and defensive Sorcery can withstand the corrosive effects of blood. I can only rely on you."

Lin Yi nodded, and then unleashed the ' Qiankun Yin Yang ' Domain.

The next moment, the blood swamp was separated, revealing a dark cave entrance. Lin Yi grabbed Griffith, supported the Domain, and escaped into it.
