Enter the ruins!

You looked at the prompts displayed by the Eye of Discernment, and your whole being felt unwell. Then you saw that familiar figure in red.

Your entire body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and you inwardly cursed, 'This is bad news!'

You couldn't understand it; you had clearly left the Martial Arts Academy in the sixth month, so why could the other party still track you down?

In an instant, you came to a conclusion: the other party had their own methods to pinpoint your location, which was incredibly frustrating.

However, you were not someone to be easily trifled with. This simulation had cost you a great deal of effort to obtain the key, and you absolutely could not let the simulation end so easily!

Being resourceful, you decisively executed a sprint, slid to your knees, and spoke, "Senior, this Junior is willing to join the Golden Wing Tower to fight for the world and bring about eternal peace! I can lead Senior inside and promise to hand over all my possessions, only asking to view the Legacy Cultivation Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Vermilion Bird's eyes recovered from their shock and turned to confusion as she said, "You understand the ins and outs of this place?!"

You decisively stated that you were very clear, having thoroughly researched this relic before setting out! And you had brought the key to open the great door!

Indeed, you had secured a sliver of hope for yourself! She finally didn't throw out a death question the moment she saw you.

Under her astonished gaze, you took out the black orb and pushed it into the groove of the great door. With a creaking sound, the sealed great door slowly opened.

An ancient aura assailed you!

You had long known that this was an ancient existence similar to a Buddha Palace. You walked along the wide passage, and on both sides of the passage were almost continuous golden Buddha statues.

This was all money!! A ten-meter-tall Buddha statue made of pure gold was equivalent in value to gold. If you also factored in its historical significance and craftsmanship, the price would only be higher!

If all these Buddha statues were packed up and taken away, you felt that you would never lack money!

"Don't do anything pointless. It would take me less than a second to kill you." Feeling the shock within, even Vermilion Bird couldn't help but caution!

You shrugged. These golden Buddha statues were all welded in place, not individual items but part of the relic, and there was no way you could exchange them.

Instead, you quipped, "These are all Buddha statues. If your Golden Wing Tower gets them, won't the Buddha Palace be jealous? The current Buddha Palace is also one of the three great powers of Great Wei."

"Buddha Palace?" You didn't expect Vermilion Bird to merely sneer, "Must Buddha statues be returned to the Buddha Palace? What a joke! With the Grand Tutor here, the Buddha Palace wouldn't dare utter a peep!" After speaking, she gave you a meaningful glance, making your mouth twitch!

You walked in silence. When you reached the last hundred meters, you cautiously stopped and spoke to Vermilion Bird behind you, "Sister, in the last hundred meters ahead, if anyone steps forward, they will trigger a mechanism! Those last dozen or so Buddha statues will move!"

Vermilion Bird looked at you with disdain, snorted coldly, and fearlessly took a step forward.

The next moment, the Buddha statues on both sides actually moved. Each one was like an enraged Vajra, holding various Magical Artifacts, and they charged towards those who had entered this place!

You could easily sense that each Buddha statue possessed a terrifying explosive power no less than that of the Quenching Marrow Realm!

It was just that they had clearly chosen the wrong opponent.

"Hmph, mere parlor tricks!" Vermilion Bird snorted coldly and drew an exquisitely crafted, handsome white short blade from her waist.

In an instant! You found that Vermilion Bird had completely vanished from before you!

Countless blade lights instantly obscured all directions within your sight!

When you reacted, you only heard the sound of the short blade returning to its sheath. All the Buddha statues froze at that moment, and three seconds later, like dismembered stone statues, they collapsed with a roar.

"Let's go, don't waste time." Vermilion Bird led the way, and the blade light flashed again. The second great door blocking the path ahead also met the same fate as the Buddha statues, being dismembered on the spot! You quickly followed.

You passed through easily, like cutting through melons and vegetables; there were no difficult mechanisms that could truly trouble you!

You were shocked by her strength, which could simply be described as rampaging. It was as if you had brought a big shot to clear a dungeon; no skills or mechanisms were needed, just brute force.

You couldn't help but exclaim in your heart, "This is so damn satisfying!"

At the same time, you also saw the crises encountered in the relic back then and how intense the battles were. Countless internal structures had completely collapsed, and the ground was continuously caving in and collapsing.

You couldn't imagine what kind of battle the owner of this place had experienced back then to cause such a prosperous force to be annihilated.

Finally, you both arrived before a colossal Buddha statue. The statue's form was extremely peculiar; it held one hand like the Five Finger Mountain, locking downwards, seemingly trapping a pitch-black space like a cage!

Even now, the five fingers still flickered with faint Buddhist light!

And the heart of the Buddha statue had been pierced through by something, leaving a massive hollow.

"So the ultimate treasure is beneath the statue's hand?" Vermilion Bird didn't wait for you to speak to stop her, and her blade light instantly unsheathed!

The five fingers forming the cage were all severed at this moment!

"Sister, prepare yourself, a powerful enemy is appearing!" Recalling the information left behind from that time, which mentioned a powerful enemy that required three Great Grandmasters from the Martial Arts Academy to eliminate, your heart pounded wildly.

As the cage opened, your pupils couldn't help but contract. It was actually a... bipedal... werewolf?!

ItsBody hair, sharp teeth, and crimson eyes were exactly as described in the records!

You remembered that the information from that lifetime mentioned that this might have been caused by people in ancient times also believing in evil gods and outer gods, leading to complete deformation!

However, when you scanned it with the Eye of Discernment, you found that the truth of the matter might be far more complex than what was revealed!

As soon as the werewolf appeared, it grinned menacingly and focused its gaze on Vermilion Bird. Its hoarse voice slowly emerged, "Humans, thank you for releasing me from my cage. As a token of gratitude, I allow you to become a part of me!"

No sooner had the words fallen than the werewolf's figure completely vanished from its original spot. When it reappeared, its sharp claws had already struck Vermilion Bird's face!

The next moment, along with Vermilion Bird, both of them vanished from your sight. Behind them, the great hall wall collapsed with a thunderous roar, forming a massive hole over a hundred meters wide!

No! Not just one!

The ceaseless rumbling sounds were like a straight line madly piercing through one golden wall after another.

The mere wind from the Qi blast sent you flying, slamming you hard against another wall, almost getting stuck in it!

You were horrified, inwardly thinking that this was the first time you had seen Vermilion Bird suppressed so easily, without even time to react!

But in that case! Your eyes flared with golden light. Enduring the pain throughout your body, you charged straight towards the giant golden Buddha's eyeballs!

There, precisely, was the top-tier ancient Legacy Cultivation Technique known throughout the world six years later: Vajra Hand!
