"An Inheritance Cave — from the name alone, it sounds like quite the treasure trove," Chu Feng said.
"That's right. That was exactly what our Starfall Sacred Ground's patriarch and that elder from the Nine Mystic Sect thought at the time."
"As everyone knows, the Greater Upper Realm is filled with countless ruins. But if word got out and reached the Chu Heavenly Clan, then ruins like that would become the Chu Heavenly Clan's property."
"To be honest, my clan's patriarch had selfish intentions back then. Naturally, he hoped to obtain the treasures within that Inheritance Cave."
"So, our clan's patriarch and that elder from the Nine Mystic Sect simply stayed put. The two of them stood guard at the Inheritance Cave year-round, racking their brains trying to break through the entrance — but in the end, none of their attempts succeeded."
"They even went so far as to invite the Nine Mystic Sect's Sect Master, and even he couldn't open the Inheritance Cave. But you should know — the Nine Mystic Sect was an overlord-level power of the Nine Mystic Upper Realm, and its Sect Master was a bona fide expert of the Venerable realm," Xia Yun'er said.
"So you're saying that Inheritance Cave was likely left behind by an ancient powerhouse — otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult to crack," Chu Feng said.
"Actually, that's not the case at all. Although the Inheritance Cave and the ruins in Pingshan Valley were old, they were by no means as ancient as you'd think. From the time our patriarch discovered them, it had been at most a few tens of thousands of years," Xia Yun'er said.
"That recent? Which powerhouse left it behind? Was there ever a conclusion?" Chu Feng asked.
In truth, Chu Feng already had his suspicions. The person he suspected was the Arrow Dao Venerable.
Chu Feng was thinking it was most likely left behind by the Arrow Dao Venerable — which was why he asked.
However, the Nine Mystic Sect's Sect Master was also a Venerable-level powerhouse, and even he couldn't break open the so-called Inheritance Cave.
If it really was left behind by the Arrow Dao Venerable, then the Arrow Dao Venerable was seemingly even more formidable than Chu Feng had imagined.
"There was no conclusion, but the Inheritance Cave did eventually open on its own," Xia Yun'er said.
"How did it open?" Chu Feng asked.
"It opened on its own," Xia Yun'er said.
"On its own?" Hearing this, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.
"It truly did open on its own. Even though it opened, our clan's patriarch and the experts present couldn't enter. It was later discovered that only the younger generation could go in," Xia Yun'er said.
"Only the younger generation?" Chu Feng was once again taken aback.
"That's right. Not only could only the younger generation enter, but they had to be Dragon Marked Royal-cloaked Spirit World Masters — otherwise, there was no way in."
"Furthermore, the number was limited — only ten people could enter each time," Xia Yun'er said.
"Did anyone gain anything from it?" Chu Feng asked.
"They did. Later, our Starfall Sacred Ground and the Nine Mystic Sect each selected five young disciples to enter the Inheritance Cave."
"It turned out that entering the Inheritance Cave didn't automatically grant you an inheritance. To obtain any benefit, you had to solve challenges, and the tasks were different almost every time. The only thing that could be confirmed was that every challenge was related to Spirit World Masters."
