The veiled woman was swallowed by the Black Giant Ape, disappearing along with it. Her fate seemed grim, while Ye Tianchen and the others faced a life-and-death situation. After much effort, they reached the massive stele, only to find it blank. The mysterious and giant stele left behind only one phrase from the Taishi family: "To obtain its inheritance, one must have the opportunity."

Ultimately, the five sat cross-legged in front of the massive stele, refusing to leave. Leaving like this was too unsatisfying; after all, reaching here was already difficult, and the Taishi family's inheritance was so alluring. Who would be willing to leave?

It was unknown how long had passed, day and night alternated in this Inheritance Small World, and everyone entered a state, fully concentrated on perceiving everything around. Only when the world began to quake, as if a major upheaval was imminent, did Ye Tianchen and the others open their eyes.

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen was the first to open his eyes, a trace of peculiar light flickering in his gaze, though he quickly restrained it. As he opened his eyes, the Wudao Saint Child also opened his, and Ye Tianchen felt that the aura of the Wudao Saint Child had changed, leading to a certain speculation.

"Taoist friend, did you gain something?" Ye Tianchen asked the Wudao Saint Child with a smile.

"No, it seems I lack the opportunity to obtain the Taishi family's inheritance!" The Wudao Saint Child shook his head.

At this moment, the old man with the pipe, the venerable from the Tripod Sect, and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family were awoken by the disturbance, glancing around. They didn't know how long they'd been meditating, but the situation seemed dire. The sky was dark, the earth constantly shaking, as if the world was about to reverse, a terrifying feeling of destruction looming, leaving them astonished.

"What's going on?" the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family couldn't help but ask.

"Not good, this Inheritance Small World might sense our intrusion and destroy itself!" The venerable from the Tripod Sect insightfully remarked.

"There's that possibility, but another is that the Inheritance Small World is undergoing self-transformation, potentially spawning unexpected dangers!" The old man with the pipe said, furrowing his brows deeply.

"Apparently, the Taishi family's inheritance is hard to get. We've spent hours in meditation without acquiring it; perhaps it's not even here. Better to leave, too dangerous!" The Wudao Saint Child spoke up.

Everyone exchanged glances and reacted the same, heading for the exit. As Ye Tianchen and the others moved, the sky collapsed, and the ground crumbled, a scene of apocalypse raging, terrifying. The high-level adept who refined the Taishi family's Inheritance Small World indeed possessed Great Divine Power, admirable and astounding. Merging six Stone Men and the Black Giant Ape within is no simple feat but a considerable Divine Skill.

"Damn, this Inheritance Small World is indeed going to destroy!" The venerable from the Tripod Sect shouted.

"Fight our way out!" The old man with the pipe said in a deep voice.

At this moment, everyone unleashed their Divine Skills, slashing forward, destroying restrictions and collapsing large objects. Without destruction, they'd block the path. None wished to be trapped and perish with this Inheritance Small World inside; survival seemed impossible.

Meanwhile, at the ruins of the Taishi family, many Martial Arts Experts searched. Indeed, the skilled of the Tripod Sect and Xinyang family awaited and hadn't left, constantly scouring the ruins for the entrance to the Taishi family's Inheritance Small World. Unfortunately, this entrance only opens every five hundred years; digging through the earth won't lead inside. It's a world between reality and illusion, not buried underground.

"Dammit, the Taishi family's Inheritance Small World, said to open every five hundred years, seems true. Why didn't I have the chance to enter?"

"Ah, the Taishi family's Burning Sky Finger, considered one of the most powerful Divine Arts of the Martial Arts World, if I obtain it, I'd surely be invincible!"

"Pity, pity. Some witnessed the Taishi family's inheritance opening, and several experts entered. We'll have to wait for the next five hundred years to enter."

"The next five hundred years, without Immortal, without immortal elixirs to extend life, how hard to live so long?"

Several young Martial Artists voiced regret and unwillingness atop the Taishi family's ruins. Just then, a loud crash sent them flying skyward, crashing heavily, blood spurting, gravely wounded, as Ye Tianchen and the five burst out from the Inheritance Small World.

"This is..."

"My heavens, the five who entered the Taishi family's Inheritance Small World emerged, surely with a great opportunity!"

Everyone was astonished, and several Martial Arts Experts began eyeing them covetously. It was evident that if Ye Tianchen and the others obtained the Taishi family's inheritance, they'd want to seize it, inevitably leading to slaughter.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

At this moment, beside the old codger from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, a few strong figures suddenly appeared. They were their respective inheritors, coming to protect their own. The atmosphere onsite turned extremely tense, as the legacy of the Taishi family was too enticing; everyone wanted to obtain it, no one was willing to give up, even at the risk of total annihilation.

"Old chap, leaving won't be so easy!" the old codger from Dingzong suddenly said to the old man with the pipe.

"You want to kill me?" the old man with the pipe asked coldly.

"Smart. The moment you dared to disrespect me, you were destined for death!" the old codger from Dingzong responded forcefully.

"You two little punks leave your lives here as well!" the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said coldly, looking at Ye Tianchen and the Wudao Saint Child.

Ye Tianchen had actually anticipated this scene happening. The old codger from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family were extremely overbearing and tyrannical. Even if there was no feud between them, these two legacies wouldn't let them off; even just to prevent what they saw in the Taishi family Inheritance Small World from leaking, they would silence them.

"Two seniors, it seems we have no grudge nor enmity!" the Wudao Saint Child said calmly.

"Humph, no grudge nor enmity? During your time in the small world, you disrespected us, and that's a capital crime!" the old codger from Dingzong snorted coldly.

"To be honest with you, to prevent the secret from leaking, all three of you must die!" the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said equally forcefully.

"Your actions are simply too domineering!" the old man with the pipe said somewhat angrily.

"Domineering? In the martial arts world, the weak are prey to the strong. Without strength, there is no right to speak—all must die!" the old codger from Dingzong said fiercely.

"Go on, kill all three of them!" the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said to the experts behind him.

Clatter!

Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the Wudao Saint Child were immediately surrounded. The martial artists surrounding them all had cultivation realms unfavorable to the Martial Saint Period. It seemed Dingzong and the Xinyang family had brought out the full strength of their forces to obtain the Taishi family legacy, determined to have it!

"I didn't expect the three of us would have to join forces to break through!" the old man with the pipe said with a cold smile.

"Since they're coming on strong, we can only strike back!" the Wudao Saint Child said, his aura dramatically changing.

"No need for further words, these two old things don't want me to live, and I won't let them have it easy either!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Take action!"

"Kill them!"

The old codger from Dingzong and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family jointly ordered, dispatching a total of ten Martial Saint Realm experts to attack Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the Wudao Saint Child.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a beam of light rushed in, directly blocking all the experts charging at the three of them, astonishing everyone at the Taishi family ruins. All eyes turned in the same direction, where a magnificent carriage appeared in the air, driven by a Dragon Horse, with two maidservants standing on either side. Atop the Dragon Horse carriage was a Treasure Mirror emitting dazzling rays. It was this Treasure Mirror that blocked more than ten Martial Saint Realm experts' attacks, leaving everyone in disbelief at its immense power.

"This is… the Wang family's second young lady's Dragon Horse carriage!"

"What? It's rumored that the Wang family's second young lady is the most beautiful female fairy on Penglai Immortal Island. Are we lucky enough to glimpse her beauty?"

"If I could only catch a glimpse, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life!"

Ye Tianchen also turned to look at the magnificent Dragon Horse carriage. It was the second time he'd seen it; the first was at the entrance gate of Linxian City. It was thanks to a single word from this Wang family's second young lady that he didn't go on a rampage, and the Wang family's gatekeepers didn't bother him, the old fisherman, and Xiao Ling further. Now, the master of Linxian City, the Wang family's second young lady, appeared here once again. What could be the reason? (To be continued.
