The being capable of constructing the seventh Taoist Spirit Stele and placing the tombs of many Realm Venerables here was truly too powerful.

In a certain sense, this space was equivalent to a Tao Domain, only this domain was extremely minuscule and the Chaotic Power within it was very weak.

Han Yi reigned in his aura, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked around; he saw that within his field of vision there were three vast structures floating.

Li Qiankun’s figure had already flitted past these three structures, heading deeper in, an obvious sign that the inheritance of the Extreme Ancient Great World Lord was not located in these three places, but further within.

Han Yi did not follow Li Qiankun deeper but instead chose a structure at random and slowly approached it.

This time, the space was not like the outside, where something seemingly close was actually far away, but like within the Fu Heng Taoist Area, where the actual distance was the same as he estimated.

In less than a minute, he stood at the edge of the structure, observing it.

The building wasn’t large, roughly comparable to Tiankui Mountain in size, shaped like a square plaza with variously sized palace buildings placed in concentric circles upon it.

On the outermost ring, Han Yi slowly landed. He looked at a silver plaque before him, slanted into the ground.

On the plaque, rows of Chaos Characters entered Han Yi’s eyes.

[At the age of three, I began my cultivation; at seven, achieved Foundation Establishment; at eighteen, formed my Nascent Soul; at thirty-three, underwent Spirit Transformation; at seventy, Ascended to Immortality; at thirty-seven thousand years old, attained enlightenment… In the twelfth Chaos Era, I comprehended the essence of Array Formation, and Transcended Chaos.]

[My path is the path of Array Formation; all things can form arrays, all things can lay arrays.]

[The power of heaven and earth, the power of emptiness, even Chaotic Power, under the Tao Array, are all extensions of oneself.]

[…]

Line after line, a few hundred Chaos Characters introduced the master of this tomb’s legacy, and at the end of the text was the name of this person, which Han Yi silently read aloud.

“Hao Yu Realm Venerable.”

Han Yi remained silent.

He had not heard of this Taoist’s name before, but judging by the fact that he was buried here, as Li Qiankun said, he was likely a being at the Half-step Transcendence level.

And, the era in which this powerful being had existed was probably extremely distant from the present, so distant that no ancient texts recorded his existence, forgotten by the passage of time.

Such a powerhouse, in the Nine Great Dao Domains, could establish a Sovereign Overlord-level force and dominate a Daoist Domain.

Thinking of this, Han Yi felt a chill in his heart, awe of the power of time; even Half-step Transcendence beings, even Sovereign Overlord-level forces, could not withstand the erosion of time, all traces cleanly obliterated.

He attempted to walk inside, but right before the first palace, he encountered a High-level Tao Array. The difficulty of this array could only be overcome by those at the Unity Realm Stage. Although Han Yi broke through it with ease, he did not continue forward.

Further inside, the might of the arrays could only get stronger, possibly challenging Heavenly Sovereigns, or even High-level Venerable Sages.

Of course, Han Yi used force to break the array.

However, this Realm Venerable’s legacy required a cultivator with an innate understanding of arrays to the point of defying heaven. Such a cultivator could even at the Unity Realm Stage manipulate arrays corresponding to High-level Venerable Sages, to use the little to defeat the big, and wield array power far exceeding their own capabilities.

Han Yi knew he did not fit the criteria for this legacy and didn’t continue trying; further attempts would be a waste of time, and he might even get trapped there. Three years was too short a period, and if trapped, it was very likely he’d never leave.

After leaving, he looked at another two structures nearby and discovered that one had no information, but upon entering it, he felt an extremely cold aura. He had encountered this aura once before, in the Ancestral God Domain, at the mysterious relic of the Origin Crystal, where he faced a Nine Netherworlds cultivator.

That had been his first encounter with a cultivator from the Outer Path Realm; although he hadn’t managed to kill the opponent, he had destroyed their Dao body.

Buried in this tomb was a Half-step Transcendence from the Nine Netherworlds.

Now in the Taoist Spirit Chaos Realm’s Nine Netherworlds, there was also a Half-step Transcendence, showing that this force was quite ancient, and even Half-step Transcendences had appeared more than once.

“Nine Netherworlds.”

He etched this major force into his memory, even more wary of it.

Naturally, he did not manage to attempt to acquire this Nine Netherworlds’ legacy; it differed from his cultivation path and that of the Innate Divine Clan. Should he cultivate it, the effort would be doubled for half the progress, potentially hindering his own cultivation path, a loss not worth the gain.

The third structure, however, was a legitimate Immortal Path legacy, but its inheritance was severely incomplete. The entire structure was a Dao Mountain, with its only useful part being a hut on the mountain.

Han Yi searched inside and out of the hut and didn’t even find a core cultivation technique.

On the entire Dao Mountain, only one wall bore a name.

“`

“`

Ji Wudi.

Han Yi had searched through all the information he’d ever heard, and while this name did exist among low-level cultivators, it didn’t match up with any of the major powers at the Daoist Domain level or above, let alone Heavenly Sovereigns.

This made him suspect that this Ji Wudi must also have come from an extremely ancient era and likely didn’t establish a line of succession, being a powerful individual cultivator who walked his own path.

Whether it was the Array Formation Venerable, the Jiuyou World Venerable, or Ji Wudi, Han Yi had come up empty-handed.

He wasn’t discouraged, though, his trip this time had been at the invitation of Li Qiankun, without a specific goal in mind. Gaining something would naturally be best, but if he gained no advantage, he could accept it calmly.

And moreover,

on the way here, the information explained to him by Li Qiankun was already the greatest gain.

Although this journey was short, his horizons had broadened far more than before, gaining much understanding of Half-Step Transcendence and even Transcendence.

These secrets were the most central and precious within the Chaos Realm.

After leaving the straw pavilion on Dao Mountain where Ji Wudi resided, Han Yi moved in a direction opposite to where Li Qiankun had fled, aiming to avoid him and thus avoid any conflict.

He wasn’t ready to resort to snatching opportunities by force, so simply not going there was naturally the solution.

Following the sparse Chaos Space, he moved further inside, and it was only after half a day that he finally saw a structure. But just as Han Yi approached this structure, preparing to ascend it,

suddenly,

his body shook because at that moment, the Wanming Space in his mind began to tremble, and the Wanming Tome within started flipping its pages incessantly.

This was an unprecedented occurrence for Han Yi.

Ever since he had relied on the Skill Level Panel to raise his proficiency with the Wanming Tome to the level of a Soul Soldier, this massive ancient tome had always lain quietly in his mind.

Only when he utilized the Qi of Wanming did the ancient book react, but even then, it was only the Qi of Wanming resonating, the tome itself remaining still.

Associating this place as a grave and inheritance of Half-Step Transcendence, Han Yi’s face suddenly lit up with ecstasy.

“Wanming City.”

“This place, could it be the inheritance of Wanming City, left by that fallen Lord Wanming, the Wanming Venerable?”

Han Yi was excited inside.

The legacies he carried were actually not numerous; all in all, only the Wanming Tome was known to reach Half-Step Transcendence, and the unknown would add just the Chongxuan Stele.

Of course,

the Skill Level Panel was Han Yi’s foundation, which he wouldn’t bring out for comparison.

With a thought, he tuned into the trembling Wanming Tome in his mind. This ancient book exuded a guiding aura, pointing him towards a certain direction in this space.

Han Yi did not hesitate, immediately abandoning the inheritance in front of him to follow the direction indicated by the Wanming Tome toward the deeper parts.

This time, his goal was clear; he passed by several other inheritance buildings along the way, but he did not even glance at them.

As Han Yi followed the Wanming Tome’s guidance, a doubt suddenly surfaced in his mind.

“The fall of Wanming City was due to an attack by many, and according to the legends, the master of Wanming City, that Wanming Daoist, was slain in Chaos by a Half-Step Transcend figure from the Ancient Xuan Dao Sect.”

“Under such circumstances, for there still to be an inheritance of Wanming City here is…”

“Quite strange.”

The overwhelming battle that destroyed Wanming City surely obliterated it thoroughly, leaving not much in terms of inheritance, let alone any surviving cultivators.

Yet against the odds, at the edge of the Taoist Spirit Chaos World and far from the Ancient Xuan Dao Domain, this special space still had a heritage site related to Wanming City.

At first glance, this didn’t make sense.

But given its existence, there had to be a reasonable explanation, so Han Yi suppressed this doubt.

This time it took three days before he gradually slowed his pace; the destination indicated by the Wanming Tome was now not far ahead.
