Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue followed the crowd into the Moon Palace.

As soon as they stepped inside, everyone discovered they were in a magnificent grand hall.

However, this hall seemed empty, with not even a single piece of furniture like tables or chairs.

This made everyone's expressions turn somewhat serious; clearly, there were none of the treasure resources they imagined in the Moon Palace, nor the Immortal Fairy that many people anticipated, and no so-called Essence Pill Realm inheritance.

Moreover, they couldn't help but feel a vague sense of danger in their hearts, even though they didn't know where it came from, they still trusted this intuition.

For countless times, it was this intuition that saved their lives.

"Swoosh..."

At this moment, the surrounding space suddenly trembled slightly, and then figures appeared in front of everyone.

"Be careful."

Someone exclaimed, and everyone's pupils shrank abruptly, continuously retreating.

In front of them, dozens of figures appeared.

"They are all Half-Step Innate Realm beings."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from these dozens of people, everyone gasped.

Even Wang Ruoxie couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Although his current power was enough to easily defeat any single Half-Step Innate, facing dozens at once was still difficult to contend with.

"No, these people don't seem to be alive."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes suddenly narrowed, as he didn't seem to sense any life force from these people.

Moreover, all of these people had dull expressions, lifeless eyes, as if they had no consciousness.

"Oh my… am I seeing things? That looks like Zhou Yi, the top genius from the Golden Phoenix Kingdom from a few hundred years ago."

A young man from the Golden Phoenix Kingdom suddenly exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Others from the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also looked incredulous.

Because as far as they knew, Zhou Yi had long died hundreds of years ago, how could they have imagined he would appear here?

"That looks like Mo Chengkong, the top genius from the Hundred Wars Kingdom two hundred years ago."

"That looks like Zhou Yongyuan, the top genius from the Black Luo Kingdom a hundred years ago."

...

Exclamations continued to echo from the crowd, one after another.

People from the Sixteen Kingdoms and the five top forces could all identify their top geniuses from hundreds of years ago, every one of whom had long passed away.

At this moment, all their expressions became incredibly serious.

Because these formidable predecessors who should have died long ago inexplicably appeared here, and seemingly bore hostility towards them.

Tang Liren and others from the East Victory Kingdom also spotted two top geniuses from their own past, Zuo Yinghao and Shangguan Dong, from over a hundred years ago.

"What's going on? How could these people who should have died all appear here, and seem to possess Half-Step Innate level power?"

"Could it be that they never really died and all came to this Moon Palace back then, living until now?"

"No, they're not living till now. What we're seeing should only be their corpses."

The crowd whispered with grave expressions.

"Everyone, though these people were top geniuses of their respective nations, even counted as our predecessors, since they have already passed away, we should let them rest in peace."

Xiahou Lie looked at the crowd and said, "Surely someone has used evil means to control their corpses. We must find this person no matter what."

"That's right, we mustn't let that guy off easily."

Lin Jingfeng also echoed.

"Though there are many of us, these people all possess Half-Step Innate level strength, how can we contend with them?"

Someone asked.

"No need to worry, these are merely corpses with no consciousness. Even if they possess Half-Step Innate power, they won't be able to fully utilize it. As long as we're cautious, nothing will happen."

Xiahou Lie replied.

"When taking action, try not to damage these predecessors' corpses. If possible, we should take them with us when we leave and return them to their families."

Lin Jingfeng said to everyone.

"Indeed."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Wang Ruoxie, Senior Sister Xiao, that Shangguan Dong was a predecessor of our Celestial Sword Sect. Shall we join forces to subdue his corpse and bring him back to the sect for burial after we leave here?"

Zong Yuzhe said to Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue.

"Alright."

Wang Ruoxie nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ningyue also nodded slightly. As disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, it was their duty to return their predecessor's corpse to the sect for burial.

"Hmm? You've broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm?"

At this moment, Zong Yuzhe's expression suddenly froze, looking at Wang Ruoxie in shock.

The others, hearing this, also looked at Wang Ruoxie with shocked glances.

Tang Liren's eyes, however, glimmered with a cold light.

"Yes, I was lucky and broke through not long ago."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly and nodded.

In his view, breaking through to the Ninth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm was not a big deal. Even breaking through to the Innate Realm was nothing worth fussing over for him.

After all, in his past life, he had cultivated to the Celestial Monarch Realm.

Though reborn and starting anew, his cultivation experience and martial arts realm remained, and coupled with possessing the Blood God Essence Blood, as well as cultivating the Supreme Secret Scripture of Nine Transformations of the Primordial, how could his cultivation speed be slow?

However, Tang Liren, Zong Yuzhe, Ruan Junhao, and the others didn't know any of this.

Though they had earlier noticed that Wang Ruoxie's cultivation had reached the Eighth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, they were not too surprised.

Wang Ruoxie's first place win at the Hidden Dragon Assembly earned him extremely generous rewards. Using those resources to advance from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm in a month was not unusual.

But only ten days had passed, and Wang Ruoxie's cultivation broke through again. How could they not be shocked?

Though they all knew Wang Ruoxie's talent was extraordinary, reaching the late stage of the Element Transformation Realm meant further advancement, even a small step, was not easy, requiring a lot of resources and time.

Without other fortuitous events, it would take at least a year and a half of diligent cultivation to possibly break through.

"This fellow is truly monstrous."

The few of them thought, their expressions complex.

At this moment, the corpses of those dozens of formidable predecessors finally moved, rushing toward them to attack.

"Take action!"

Xiahou Lie roared and charged at one of the corpses.

The others did not hesitate and swiftly moved to meet the advancing corpses.

Each chose targets mainly corresponding to their own country or force's predecessor's corpse.

Of course, although they intended to bring these predecessors' corpses back with them, if truly threatened with their lives, they would not stubbornly hold back.

Wang Ruoxie and Zong Yuzhe naturally targeted the predecessor from the Celestial Sword Sect, Shangguan Dong.
