Asura Mad Emperor

As everyone stepped into the rift, they immediately felt a jarring sense of time flowing past them. Spatial layers became disordered, and dazzling colors flickered all around. It felt as if their bodies and souls were being forcibly separated.

It was as if they were forging ahead through the river of time, having journeyed through a whole lifetime's distance, unable to see either the beginning or the end, and yet everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. A door, ancient and shimmering with blue light, appeared before them.

The next moment, they entered the Divine Cave.

Inside the Divine Cave, a strong surge of Dao Magic intent enveloped them, like an imposing mountaintop bearing down, or the endless ocean's waves rolling in powerfully; the group, including Ling Xian'er, instantly felt a stifling sensation in their breaths.

"Such powerful Divine True Intent! Such a rich Ancient Divine Intent!"

The breath was desolate, ancient, tranquil, and profound. Although they had clearly never encountered it before, they understood in an instant that it was the aura of an ancient deity.

The passage within the Divine Cave was spacious with no forks, just a straight path that stretched beyond sight.

Qinchuan showed no intention of stopping and took steps toward the end of the passage, with everyone else hastily following.

"Unfortunately, this Divine Cave is far too ancient. Even the will left by the ancient gods cannot be preserved intact after an era. Although we can clearly perceive the breath of the deity, we ultimately cannot obtain the legacy of the gods."

Ling Xian'er sighed, feeling a bit regretful.

But she quickly recovered. The legacy of an ancient deity, how covetable a thing that is! On the Divine Wilderness Continent, generation after generation, countless cultivators had gone mad for it; how could they possibly obtain it so easily?

At this time, Ji Huo'er had also finished searching every corner around them, only to find the area completely bare. There were no Heavenly Treasures Materials, not even a single common blade of grass in sight.

Her interest waned immediately, and with diminished enthusiasm, she strolled around, shaking her head and saying, "Is this truly what an ancient deity left behind? Why haven't I seen a single treasure? Perhaps it was left by a stingy ancient god!" Her words were unrestrained, not fearing to offend any deity.

Ding Hao spoke, "Previously, the outer area of this Divine Cave was protected by a Formation laid down by a powerful being. It's likely that whatever opportunity was inside the Divine Cave has already been obtained by the one who set up the Formation. Unfortunately, we are one step too late."

At these words, a thought struck Ling Xian'er, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Qinchuan, "Young Master Qin has been so calm and confident all this way, ignoring the dangers of the battle between the Yin Spirit and the Formation Spirit, and pressing on towards this place. It seems you already knew of the existence of the Great Formation. And since discovering the entrance to this Divine Cave, your expression has remained indifferent, with no change at all, as if you had long known about the Divine Cave's existence."

She paused for a bit, waiting for Qinchuan's face to give away any flaw, then continued, "Therefore, Xian'er speculates that Young Master Qin, you must have already received the legacy of the being who set up the Great Formation, which is why you are so familiar with both the Great Formation and the Divine Cave. This also explains why you chose this particular passage when we first entered the large tomb."

"Indeed, as a member of the Fox Clan, your thoughts are sharp!" Qinchuan glanced at Ling Xian'er, shook his head, and calmly said, "Unfortunately, you are mistaken; I have not received any so-called legacy."

Qinchuan did not continue. Following the normal logic, Ling Xian'er's speculation was not wrong, and it was quite remarkable for her to deduce so much from many subtle details.

But what she could never guess was that the so-called powerful being who laid out the Great Formation was none other than Qinchuan himself.

Qinchuan said this, but to Ling Xian'er and the others, it seemed like he was deliberately concealing something. This prompted Ji Huo'er to pull another face, "If you've got the inheritance, you've got it. I'm not going to snatch it from you, but you're acting all secretive. Such a miser."

Knowing that Ji Huo'er was a mischievous child despite her small size, and quite similar to Qin Xiaoyu by nature, without any real dissatisfaction, Qinchuan was also in a rare good mood, and exchanged some banter with her, "Then later in the Divine Cave, you'd better not rush to grab any Magical Treasures or Spiritual Objects."

"Hmph, I won't grab them if you say so. I don't fancy any Magical Treasures or Spiritual Objects. Even if you beg me to take them later, I won't!"

Ji Huo'er held her head high, her chest heaving unevenly as she pouted.

However, hearing what Qinchuan said, Ling Xian'er and Ding Hao were intrigued, each thinking to themselves, "As expected, there's more to the Divine Cave than meets the eye, and it's not devoid of treasures."

The group hurried along, the passage ahead gradually widening until they reached a huge circular hall with a diameter of five hundred meters. The walls around were aglow with auroral light, the Divine Intent of the deities engraved on them, exuding intense pressure that made everyone's hearts tremble.

In the center of the great hall was a raised circular altar carved out of a single piece of Divine Jade, translucent and suffused with misty light, a natural masterpiece.

Above the Jade Altar were many lustrous and colorful Spiritual Treasures.

At first glance, there was an array of Dao Magic, dazzling divine light, and various Heavenly Treasures Materials and Spiritual Objects carelessly arranged.

Upon seeing these items, Ji Huo'er's eyes went wide, gleaming with excitement as she leapt up and dashed toward the Jade Altar.

"Wow! It's Starry Night Wood Drink Grass, and it's three-leaved!"

"Is this... Shadowflow Dry Flame Jade? Such a big piece, my goodness!"

Ji Huo'er's eyes sparkled as she jumped in front of the Jade Altar. Considering her youthful form, the altar was quite high compared to her. From a distance, she could see the lustrous treasures upon it, but up close, she was too short to see the Spiritual Treasures atop the high platform.

She hopped up and down, wishing she could leap straight onto the misty platform of Spiritual Objects, yet afraid of damaging the Heavenly Treasures Materials. In this way, she kept jumping in front of the Jade Altar nonstop.

Even her bold declarations from before were forgotten as she squealed, "Mine, mine, all mine!"

Just as she was jumping joyfully, Ling Xian'er suddenly chided sweetly, "Huo'er, show some respect. Since Young Master Qin has received the inheritance, these divine items belong to him. You shouldn't touch them."

Ling Xian'er believed that since Qinchuan had received the ancient powerful being's inheritance, and this Divine Cave had been concealed by the Great Formation set up by that same being which Qinchuan himself had openly unlocked, the treasures here should rightfully be Qinchuan's.

Although Ji Huo'er was greedy for the treasures, she knew their importance and that she owed her chance to enter this place to Qinchuan's abilities; she truly didn't deserve to take anything here.

After Ling Xian'er's reminder, she muttered "Oh," suddenly losing all enthusiasm. Reluctantly, she tossed back a piece of Heavenly Immortal Fragrance she had managed to grab and left the Jade Altar, turning back every three steps.

Just as her spirits flagged, Qinchuan spoke leisurely, "These things are just nutrients after all, their medicinal properties and Spiritual Energy have largely dissipated. This young master isn't interested."
