Buzz!

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan swiftly formed a spell with his hands and pointed at a specific spot on the puppet model.

Immediately, the flashing red dots on the puppet model began to mellow down.

The red glow in the eyes of the puppet statues, which had turned their gaze towards them, also slowly receded.

The entire body returned to stillness, unmoving.

Seeing this scene, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang, who had been holding their breath, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

They knew that the three of them were temporarily safe.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but turn their gaze toward Ji Haoyuan.

"Junior Brother Nanhua..."

"Hmm."

Ji Haoyuan nodded at them, smiling, and said:

"Rest assured, Senior Brothers, I have basically passed this trial.

Next, just a bit of finishing work is all that's needed."

As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan once again formed several spells, placing them on different parts of the puppet model.

Clack—

Clack—

Clack—

A series of mechanical sounds suddenly emanated from the puppet model.

In the next instant, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang saw the ground around the puppet model begin to change, then sink, eventually revealing a passage leading underground.

"This...?"

The two of them couldn't help but be astonished once more.

Ji Haoyuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Yuan, Senior Brother Fuguang, let's go.

The path ahead is now different from others."

As he spoke, Ji Haoyuan was already heading towards the underground passage.

Seeing this, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

However, before leaving, they both couldn't help but look back at the puppet statues behind them.

In front, Ji Haoyuan seemed to sense their thoughts and gently shook his head, saying:

"Those puppet statues are intimately linked to this place; we have no way to take them with us."

He clearly had long realized the value of those puppet statues.

If it were possible to take them away, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for him personally and for the entire Demonstration Sect, greatly enhancing their foundation and strength.

But unfortunately.

Those puppet statues cannot leave this palace.

All the way down.

The three of them soon arrived in a space roughly one hundred square meters in size.

Here, numerous materials for crafting fourth-tier puppets were piled up.

Ji Haoyuan glanced around, estimating in his heart that with the materials in front of him, it was probably enough to craft more than four fourth-tier puppets.

Each puppet's grade would be a mid-tier fourth-tier.

To be given so many materials at once...

It seems this is for me to personally practice.

"Junior Brother Nanhua..."

At this moment, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang pointed behind him.

There, rows of bookshelves were on display.

Each bookshelf held several to ten jade slips.

Most importantly, in the very center of the bookshelves was a storage bracelet resembling a black gemstone.

It was unmistakably a storage bracelet!

Involuntarily, Ji Haoyuan and the others narrowed their eyes.

So many jade slips.

Could it be that this is indeed the true inheritance left by the Great Venerable here?

And that storage bracelet...

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan attempted to move forward.

Buzz!

However, a silvery light barrier suddenly blocked Ji Haoyuan's path.

At the same time.

Information surged from the Cave Abyss Token Ji Haoyuan carried.

In an instant, Ji Haoyuan immediately understood the situation.

But because of this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Just as he had thought.

This place is indeed where the Great Venerable's last inheritance lies.

However, there isn't just one place like this; there are several.

And their task was to use the fourth-tier puppet materials left here to craft as many puppets as possible within the specified time.

Moreover, each puppet's grade must not be lower than a low-tier fourth-tier.

Among them, whoever first successfully crafts a puppet of the highest quality will receive the most complete inheritance from this place.

And to prevent the secret from being exposed.

The Great Venerable had already set up a cleansing program at the beginning.

Which means.

Apart from the one who truly obtains the complete inheritance here and those around him.

All others who enter this relic secret realm will be buried here with it forever.

Ji Haoyuan did not doubt this in the slightest.

With the planning and arrangements of a Great Venerable before death.

None of the cultivators who entered this relic secret realm had any possibility of leaving alive except by becoming his true successor.

This Great Venerable is truly...

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan deeply felt the coldness and ruthlessness of this Great Venerable.

It seems that in life, he must have been a cultivator from the Demon Dao.

Otherwise, an ordinary righteous cultivator would hardly make such cruel and ruthless plans.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan knew his time was running out.

Though he did not believe that, given his understanding and ability, anyone could be his match here.

Nonetheless, there is no absolute certainty in the Cultivation Realm.

What if?

What if someone else found another path?

Or a non-standard way to acquire the complete inheritance here?

Wouldn't they be in trouble then?

Even though he knew that once he obtained the complete inheritance here, it would be a great disaster for others in this place.

As a pawn, everyone is in the game and there's really nothing to be done.

The saying goes, "Better your fellow Daoist dies than you."

The struggle for the Great Dao is sometimes life and death; there's no room for much sentimentality.

So in the next moment, Ji Haoyuan wasted no time and started crafting with those puppet materials in front of him.

Meanwhile.

In a space similar to where Ji Haoyuan and the others were.

A cultivator dressed in the attire of the Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect.

Suddenly slit their wrist, pouring a large amount of blood onto the silver light barrier.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Despite the passage of time, he hadn't expected that his lineage could still establish a connection with the Great Venerable's ancestor.

And this is the greatest secret he carries.

He hasn't told anyone.

Not even the Divinity Transformation Ancestor or his Great True Monarch master from his sect.
