The Tower Spirit once told Ye Chen that the Demon Race is the great enemy of the entire Human Race.

Back then, among the powerful beings responsible for the Human Emperor's demise, there was a supreme figure from the Demon Race.

And ever since the Human Emperor's fall, the invasions of the Human Race by the Demon Race have only intensified.

Throughout the long years, countless Human Race Realms have been destroyed by the Demon Race.

Thus, even though Ye Chen had never seen a real Demon Race member, he harboured an extreme aversion towards them.

When his strength becomes formidable enough, he will undoubtedly do everything he can to eradicate those invading the Human Race Realm.

"So, only by obtaining this Purple Gold Token, can I inherit the Carefree Wanderer's legacy. It seems my previous worries were unnecessary." Ye Chen firmly gripped the Purple Gold Token in his hand, letting out a deep breath of relief.

Previously, he had been worried that during the five days of his cultivation in the Soul Refining Array, the Carefree Wanderer's legacy would be seized by others.

But now, he realized his worries were unfounded.

Just as the Tower Spirit predicted, only those who passed the Soul Hall test were qualified to inherit the Carefree Wanderer's legacy.

"It's time to leave here." Ye Chen's figure flashed and he swiftly flew towards the entrance of the Soul Hall.

Now, he was no longer bound by the force within the Soul Hall, so he could freely enter and leave the Soul Hall.

"Huh? How has this valley become so quiet, not a single person around?" After stepping out of the Soul Hall, Ye Chen's figure suddenly trembled, his eyes filled with surprise.

He originally thought Wang Yang and Xiahou Lei would certainly have people guarding outside the Soul Hall to prevent his escape.

Unexpectedly, the entire valley was devoid of any human presence, appearing utterly eerie.

"Could it be that everyone has already entered the Carefree Wanderer's cave?" Ye Chen's gaze immediately shifted towards the Carefree Wanderer's cave, murmuring to himself.

"Master, it's the aura of the Outer Realm Demon Race, emanating from the Carefree Wanderer's cave." The Tower Spirit's Soul Body suddenly drifted out from within Ye Chen, frowning slightly.

"Could it be that the Carefree Wanderer's cave truly harbours the Outer Realm Demon Race?" Ye Chen's pupils suddenly constricted, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"I'm not sure, but to be safe, it's best if Master refrains from entering that cave and leaves here," the Tower Spirit couldn't help but warn Ye Chen.

Although the aura of the Outer Realm Demon Race is likely emanating from a corpse or Demon Core of theirs.

Even the Tower Spirit couldn't guarantee that there weren't any living Outer Realm Demon Race members within the Carefree Wanderer's cave.

If this aura truly emanated from a living Outer Realm Demon Race being, then rashly entering the cave would certainly be a dangerous thing for Ye Chen.

After all, any Outer Realm Demon Race that has lived so long without dying must be immensely powerful, at least at an Immortal Level.

With Ye Chen's current strength, he would stand no chance against them.

"If I just leave like this, won't I miss the Carefree Wanderer's legacy? No, I can't give up just like that." Ye Chen's eyes were filled with deep unwillingness.

He had already successfully passed the Soul Hall's test and gained the Carefree Wanderer's recognition.

He just needed to enter the Carefree Wanderer's cave to inherit the legacy.

Giving up halfway would be too regrettable.

Besides, there might not be any living Outer Realm Demon Races in the Carefree Wanderer's cave, and the Demon Race aura could be from the Demon Core.

Thus, Ye Chen still planned to visit the cave.

Anyway, he possessed the Human Emperor's Space, and if danger were to arise, he could retreat there immediately.

Unless the opponent's power was so overwhelming that he had no time to react.

Otherwise, killing him wouldn't be so easy.

"In that case, Master must be cautious. If anything seems amiss, leave that cave immediately," the Tower Spirit gravely advised.

As Ye Chen's servant, he could only offer advice.

If Ye Chen insisted on doing something, he had no authority to stop him.

"I will," Ye Chen nodded.

Swoosh.

In the next moment, he left an afterimage where he stood and swiftly flew towards the Carefree Wanderer's cave.

A few dozen breaths later, Ye Chen arrived in front of the Carefree Wanderer's cave.

The entrance of the cave was quite expansive, and dazzling light emanated from within, not at all as dark as Ye Chen had imagined.

However, Ye Chen dared not let his guard down because of this.

He activated his Divine Soul Power, enveloping an area within a ten-zhang radius, ready to detect any sign of movement.

"Huh? Within this cave abode, there is actually another world." Shortly after, Ye Chen followed the passage of the cave abode, reaching its deepest part.

Unexpectedly, within the deepest part of the cave abode, there was an incredibly spacious area, as if a mountain had been hollowed out.

And in the center of this space, stood resplendent palaces, their entire bodies emitting a faint rosy glow, like the heavenly palaces of celestial gods.

These palaces have been standing here for at least a thousand years.

Yet, they still remain intact without even a single crack, as if they were just newly built.

"Hmm? The Purple Gold Token on me has reacted; it seems the inheritance of the Carefree Wanderer is hidden within these palaces." At this moment, the Purple Gold Token on Ye Chen started to emit a faint purple glow and became extremely warm.

It felt as if something in the palaces ahead was resonating with it.

Whoosh.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen activated the celestial spirits within and flew towards those palaces.

His intuition told him that the inheritance left by the Carefree Wanderer must be extraordinary, perhaps greatly aiding his path to cultivation.

If he could obtain the Carefree Wanderer's inheritance, he might become significantly stronger in a short time.

By then, he would be one step closer to avenging his parents.

Therefore, even if these palaces held real danger, they couldn't stop Ye Chen's steps.

"How did this happen? Why can't we leave these palaces?"

"It's over; this time, we're all going to die here. It's a trap. From the moment we entered, we've become prey." At this moment, within a resplendent grand hall, a group of young cultivators spoke in utter despair, their eyes filled with intense fear.

This group of young cultivators, more than half of whom were geniuses of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty.

Lin Man was also among them.

However, at this moment, her face had lost all color, looking worse than a corpse.

If she had known earlier how terrifying the Carefree Wanderer's cave abode was, even given a hundred guts, she wouldn't have dared enter.

In these brief five days, what she experienced was too terrifying and bizarre, akin to a nightmare.

In the first two days, everyone here hadn't encountered anything strange, and some even found treasures left by the Carefree Wanderer.

Especially Ye Lin'Er, the treasures she obtained were incredibly enviable, including a rare demon core, invaluable.

But by the third day, strange occurrences started happening frequently.

Many cultivators planning to leave the palaces discovered that all exits had vanished.

Everyone was seemingly trapped in a terrifying labyrinth, unable to find a way out no matter how hard they tried.

More horrifyingly, the trapped cultivators began dying one after another.

Their deaths were extremely bizarre, with no wounds on their bodies, yet their eyes were wide open, filled with immense fear, as if their souls had been extracted by some terrifying entity.

Moreover, among the dead were two ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

To know their strength amongst cultivators was undoubtedly top-notch, hardly anyone could threaten their lives.

Yet, even they couldn't withstand that eerie power.

This instantly caused panic, fearing the next one would be them.

"Senior Sister Lin Man, what should we do? Even those ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List couldn't escape, if we stay here, our turn will come soon." The young cultivators of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty spoke in sheer despair.

"Everyone, stay quiet." Lin Man said irritably.

She knew well staying here led only to death.

But she had tried many times, yet couldn't leave these palaces.

This place seemed covered by the array's power; unless someone broke the array, there's no way out.

"Had we known, we wouldn't have entered this cave abode."

"I rather envy Ye Chen. Despite being trapped in the Soul Hall, he escaped harm." The young cultivators of the Celestial Pearl Dynasty showed deep regret.

"Shut up! Don't mention that fool to me anymore. If it weren't for him, the Carefree Wanderer's cave abode wouldn't have opened, we wouldn't be trapped here, it's all his fault." Lin Man couldn't help rebuking harshly.

Just thinking of Ye Chen made her furious.

If it weren't for his accidental intrusion opening the Carefree Wanderer's cave abode, everyone wouldn't have encountered this disaster.

Thus, this fool is truly a jinx.
