Chapter 4225: Inheritance Space

"Diamond Sect!" Wang Changsheng frowned. They had seen these three individuals before at Chiyang Market when they attended Cao Yuanxing's celebration in the Chiyang Sea. According to Master Xuanji, Song Yunlong, Song Yunhu, and Song Yunbao had all mastered the laws and cultivated their true spirits to peak levels.

"This is not a place for you. Leave immediately!" Song Yunbao said, his tone icy, showing no regard for Wang Changsheng and his group. Song Yunlong and Song Yunhu merely glanced at Wang Changsheng and the others before turning their attention away.

Wang Changsheng didn't get angry. He and Wang Ruyan left, reasoning that it was better to let Song Yunlong and his two brothers go first. If there was no danger, it wouldn't be too late for them to follow.

Song Yunbao flicked his sleeve, and a yellow, glittering spirit bean flew out. He cast a spell, and the spirit bean glowed with dazzling yellow light, transforming into a massive yellow giant—a bean soldier at the Golden Immortal stage.

"Go!" He chanted a spell, and the yellow giant strode towards the mountain. As soon as it appeared on the mountain, a deafening thunderclap echoed from high above. A thick bolt of nine-colored immortal lightning streaked across the sky, striking the yellow giant. The giant remained unfazed, continuing its ascent.

The thunder continued relentlessly, with thick bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning striking the yellow giant repeatedly. The giant's body became scorched and emitted black smoke. The closer it got to the summit, the more nine-colored immortal lightning struck, and the stronger its power became.

"Put away the bean soldier! If it's just nine-colored immortal lightning, we can still withstand it," Song Yunlong said.

Song Yunbao cast a spell, and the yellow giant quickly ran down the mountain. Once it left the peak, the nine-colored immortal lightning disappeared. The yellow giant transformed back into a dim spirit bean and vanished into Song Yunbao's sleeve.

Golden, red, and yellow spiritual lights illuminated their bodies, respectively. They merged to form a dense, three-colored light barrier that enveloped all three of them. It was a combined attack technique!

The three walked towards the peak. A thunderclap sounded, and a thick bolt of nine-colored immortal lightning descended, striking the three-colored light barrier. The barrier remained completely still. As they continued their ascent, more nine-colored immortal lightning struck the barrier, but it remained unharmed.

After a while, they entered a sea of red mist.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan returned. They looked towards the peak, deep in thought.

The Song Yunlong brothers were strong, but Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were not afraid of them.

"Even they are interested, so there must be something good here," Wang Ruyan analyzed. The Song Yunlong brothers came from the powerful Diamond Sect and lacked nothing ordinary.

"Let's go up too. Hopefully, there's something good," Wang Changsheng said. As they walked towards the peak, a deafening thunder roared from high above. Two thick bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning streaked across the sky, striking them. They felt a numbing, unbearable stinging sensation.

Soon, two more bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning struck. Wang Changsheng no longer resisted directly. Instead, he summoned the Qianyu Shield, holding it in front of him. The two bolts of lightning struck the shield, producing two dull thuds.

They increased their speed, ascended the mountain, and entered the red mist.

After passing through the red mist, they emerged into a vast bluestone plaza. There, they saw a golden palace, mostly collapsed, with its plaque lying on the ground.

Wang Changsheng expanded his spiritual sense but detected no trace of the Song Yunlong brothers.

"Did they vanish into thin air?" Wang Changsheng wondered, completely puzzled.

Wang Ruyan activated her Lihuo True Eyes to investigate but also found no sign of the Song Yunlong brothers. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Tunian. Wang Tunian sniffed lightly a few times, then pointed to the palace and said, "They entered the palace."

"There are no restrictions on the plaza," Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tunian walked towards the palace. Indeed, there were no restrictions.

Wang Tunian led them to a basement. The room was empty and unremarkable.

"They disappeared here," Wang Tunian said, pointing to a certain spot in the void.

"Spatial restriction?" Wang Ruyan released Wang Huanyu, instructing her to search for spatial restrictions.

Wang Huanyu opened her mouth and sprayed a sheet of golden mist towards the void Wang Tunian had indicated, but nothing unusual appeared.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan frowned. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

"It seems to be some kind of unusual restriction. We'll have to break it with brute force," Wang Changsheng said.

This was also good news for them. Although the place seemed inconspicuous, it had unusual restrictions, meaning any valuable treasures should still be present.

Wang Changsheng's and Wang Ruyan's right hands simultaneously glowed with dazzling blue light. They struck the void, causing ripples and a large number of cracks to appear.

A silver light illuminated the void, and a silver light barrier emerged. On its surface were eight golden points of light.

"This is the Eight Elements Dust Array, one of the ten great immortal formations," Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise. There are ten extremely powerful formations in the immortal realm, and the Eight Elements Dust Array is one of them.

The Eight Elements Dust Array had excellent concealment, making it difficult for immortals to detect. Furthermore, its defense was exceptionally strong, and it could even self-repair.

Countless mysterious musical notes emerged from Wang Ruyan's right palm as she struck the silver light barrier. With a dull thud, the silver light barrier dented inwards.

Wang Changsheng's right fist glowed with dazzling blue light, emitting seven types of law fluctuations. He punched, striking the silver light barrier. The barrier rippled, revealing a gap approximately three meters wide, from which a surge of extremely pure immortal essence poured out.

They had to use the Aperture Melting Art just to open a gap, proving the Eight Elements Dust Array lived up to its reputation.

Wang Changsheng and the three others (Wang Ruyan, Wang Tunian, and Wang Huanyu) flew through the gap, which then healed itself.

Wang Changsheng felt a blur before his eyes, then found himself in a vast bluestone plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a golden giant pagoda, with the three silver characters "Heavenly Soldier Pagoda" carved onto its body.

"They entered the pagoda," Wang Tunian said, pointing to the Heavenly Soldier Pagoda. The auras of the Song Yunlong brothers had disappeared inside it.

"Heavenly Soldier Pagoda! It sounds like the Heavenly Soldier Sect's treasury," Wang Ruyan said curiously.

"Let's go inside and see. You two should return to your spirit beast bracelets for now! If a fight breaks out later, we won't be able to look after you." Wang Changsheng put Wang Tunian back into his spirit beast bracelet, and Wang Huanyu also flew into the spirit beast bracelet on Wang Ruyan's wrist.

They walked towards the Heavenly Soldier Pagoda and entered it. A spacious, brightly lit hall appeared before them, with scattered remnants of puppet beasts on the ground.

They reached the second floor and again saw remnants of puppet beasts.

They quickened their pace and arrived at the sixth floor, where they saw the Song Yunlong brothers. Many more puppet beast remnants were scattered across the floor.

A dazzling golden light illuminated the stone wall, revealing a tall golden display rack. Dozens of glowing immortal artifacts of various styles were arranged on it.

"Complete sets of mid-grade immortal artifacts!" Wang Changsheng recognized at a glance that all the immortal artifacts on the golden display rack were complete sets.

"How dare you follow us into the inheritance space!" Song Yunbao said, his face filled with murderous intent. The Heavenly Soldier Sect's treasury was in the Heavenly Soldier Pagoda, but there were actually two such pagodas. The one outside was meant to mislead outsiders. The true treasures were all within the inheritance space, whose entrance was guarded by the Eight Elements Dust Array and located in an inconspicuous spot, known only to a handful of people.

If the Song Yunlong brothers hadn't found the secluded cave of the Heavenly Soldier Sect's former Deputy Sect Master, they wouldn't have found this place. In the Song Yunlong brothers' eyes, all the treasures in the Heavenly Soldier Pagoda belonged to them, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan pursuing them meant they were courting death.
