Lin Fan stared at the secret manual with a dark expression. Needless to say, it was something that the damn system had thrown out.

This old sixth system has been doing this kind of thing for more than just a day or two.

He hid the book, took out a jade pendant, placed it in her palm, and said solemnly, "This jade pendant is my family heirloom. You must take good care of it."

"But I heard that your jade pendant was broken." Murong Xuanqiu looked at the jade pendant, but he had never heard of him having any family heirlooms.

He grew up in a small fishing village, and it was a miracle he even survived as a child. The piece of jade he used to wear was an old, cracked, and ordinary piece of inferior jade.

"Don't worry about the details. Remember one thing: if you're ever in danger, your senior brother will protect you with his life," Lin Fan said.

“Alright, from now on, it will be a family heirloom.” Murong Xuanqiu said with a smile, his eyes beaming like blooming peach blossoms.

She carefully put the jade pendant away; it was a token of love given to her by her senior brother, and she couldn't afford to lose it.

"Whatever makes you happy." Lin Fan's lips twitched slightly, which was considered a way of letting bygones be bygones regarding that lousy book. That damn system really knew how to cause trouble.

Hong Yinping rubbed her eyes and came out. When she saw the two of them, she was immediately unhappy. She pouted and complained, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

She was a little unhappy, feeling that she had missed out on a lot.

"Let's keep going," Lin Fan said with a smile.

He took out a piece of ice crystal and began to use his inner power. After obtaining the exact location of the Inheritance Hall, he led the two of them on their way.

After traversing the vast desert and looking at the ruined yellow palaces, Lin Fan felt a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection). No matter how magnificent or glorious something is, it will eventually be swallowed up by history.

Lin Fan gazed at the palace complex ahead. It was not particularly conspicuous among the ruins, but it was the very place where the Great Emperor's legacy was passed down. Without Yi Ye Bingjing, it would have taken them at least half a month to search for each one.

"Tianchen Hall"

Lin Fan stared at the tattered plaque, vaguely recognizing a few words: the peerless powerhouse known as the Heavenly Emperor had paved a brand new path.

Therefore, this star is named Tianchen (天辰) in honor of him.

They entered the Tianchen Hall, a place steeped in history, containing countless supreme cultivation techniques, unfathomable secret arts, and rare spiritual treasures.

The Azure Jade Pavilion, built on a foundation of millennia-old cold jade and beams of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wood, is covered by flowing clouds and mist, as if it were a world of its own, isolated from the world.

As the morning light pierced through the clouds, golden rays fell upon the carved wooden door, revealing an ancient scene—old, dusty, and inviting one into another world.

Upon entering the pavilion, the first thing that catches the eye is a row of towering wooden bookshelves, connected by strange runes, which seem to contain spatial power, making the library appear limited but in fact vast and boundless.

The bookshelves are densely packed with all kinds of ancient books and jade slips. Each book and each scroll exudes a faint spiritual light. Despite the erosion of time, these classics still exude an ancient charm.

"The Great Theft of the Sky and the Substitution of the Sun"

A jade slip with an ancient cover lay quietly in the most conspicuous position. Lin Fan picked it up and saw that it was a very ancient secret technique, and of a high level. At least in a sect like Qingxiao Sect, it could be used as a sect-protecting secret technique.

"The Secret Record of Ghostly Flames in the Underworld"

Murong Xuanqiu held an ancient book entwined with black flames, which recorded a terrifying secret technique for controlling the Netherworld Fire and burning away all the filth in the world.

"White Tiger Killing Heart Fist"

Hong Yinping looked at an ancient book containing a fist technique with extremely destructive power, which, when cultivated to its highest level, could shatter heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Murong Xuanqiu raised her jade hand and put away these cultivation manuals, leaving a few of the Tiger Clan's secret techniques for Hong Yinping.

Behind the library are several treasures radiating strong spiritual energy and exuding a dense and powerful pressure; they are at least top-tier treasures.

An ancient longsword, its blade engraved with the trajectory of stars, can be wielded with a gentle swing, producing a sword's cry and a dragon's roar that reverberates through the heavens. This is the ancient treasure sword "Star Slash".

Beside them was a long spear, tasseled with a red rope, its sharpness capable of shaking the heavens. They sensed the immense power of the spear as soon as they approached; a cold glint appeared first, followed by the spear's powerful thrust.

Next were the guqin, the ancient battle-axe, and other weapons, scattered everywhere. Unfortunately, these weapons were all broken, their sword spirits extinguished, and their power reduced by several levels.

"These are all good treasures!" Murong Xuanqiu used his storage ring to pack the weapons away, planning to sell them for spirit stones if necessary.

Lin Fan looked at her curiously, as if he were meeting her for the first time; she was just like a little money-grubber.

There is also a seemingly ordinary bronze mirror, but it actually contains a secret: the "Heart-Protecting Dragon Pattern Mirror," which can ward off heavenly tribulations and protect the mind. If you carry it with you, your safety will be guaranteed.

After touring the weapon hall, they arrived at the alchemy room, but before they could even step inside, six more figures burst in.

They were powerful members of the pig clan, with bloodshot eyes and somewhat disordered breathing. Judging from their listless demeanor, they must have been frantically searching for the Great Emperor's legacy all day.

However, they were fast and lucky to find the key inheritance hall so quickly.

"Humans, I advise you to leave," the pig elder said coldly.

Despite their numerical advantage, the previous exchange made them realize that the three men's actual combat strength was difficult to fathom.

"This is the legacy of the Human Emperor. It is you who should leave," Lin Fan said calmly.

Facing the powerful pig clan members, he was not flustered at all, and was even eager to try, even intending to take on six of them at once.

While in the Ten Thousand Mountains, he might have had to consider that it was the territory of magical beasts, but in the Emperor's Ruins, no one could enter.

He had observed the ruins of the Great Emperor; there was a powerful restriction here that would suppress anyone within it to the same cultivation level.

The lowest cultivation levels here are Murong Xuanqiu and Zhu Dachang, both of whom are at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, everyone else's cultivation level is suppressed to this level.

"Then don't blame us," Zhu Dachang said coldly.

Lin Fan raised his middle finger and said, "Since you like this place so much, then bury yourselves here."

Zhu Dachang transformed into his true form, which was a large black wild boar. The large black wild boar had a huge body, like a moving small mountain, and its body was covered with shiny black mane.

Its fangs are long and sharp, curved like hooks, and gleam with a cold light. They can easily tear through the toughest armor, making them its powerful tools for hunting and self-defense in the forest.

As it walked, its limbs bulged with muscles, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly, stirring up a gust of wind that whipped up fallen leaves and dust, displaying its formidable power.

Roar roar roar

He roared loudly, raised his front hooves high, and then stomped towards Lin Fan.

A powerful energy fluctuation appeared in the space, spreading out in concentric circles like a tide, causing the air to explode and begin to collapse.
