Deep within the cave of a small city, in a dark and fathomless subterranean canyon, whirlpools would periodically rise. Beneath these whirlpools, magma churned and rolled. A vast amount of geo-fire surged and boiled. If left unchecked, it would likely engulf all stone giants in the entire cave—those of rank ten or lower—leaving none alive.

Those who were above level ten of the Giant Clan warriors all had solemn expressions.

At this time, standing shoulder to shoulder with Tuo Ba Chongxiao on the edge of the canyon were five people. Behind them, there were dozens more who were all powerful warriors of the eleventh level. Although their numbers were not many, just standing there, their aura gave a feeling that far surpassed the intimidating might of thousands upon thousands of soldiers. They were not particularly tall, but they seemed like ten or so towering stone pillars erected against the sky.

"Lord Xiao, you have held the Elder Seal of the Tuoba family for over a hundred years. This time, you have brought back the sacred beast of my Giant Stone Clan, ensuring the continuation of our clan's lineage. It is only fitting that you preside over this opening ceremony. Please do so." Tao Qingwei extended his hand that resembled withered parchment towards Tuo Ba Chongxiao.

“Do any other forum masters have any objections” Tuo Ba Chongxiao smiled slightly and looked at the other several sub-forum masters.

"Ancestral teachings state that those who welcome back the holy beast can become the high priest, opening the altar and becoming the Grand Altar Master. Although I usually don't agree with you, at this time when the Ghost Clan is invading in full force, opening the altar now and accessing the ancestral martial arts treasury is crucial for my Giant Rock Clan to resist the Ghost Clan. I, Tuo Zhan Shan, submit."

Another figure stood on the sidelines, short in stature but thickset like a water barrel. He wore a green cloak and had bare arms. His presence radiated an aura as terrifying as that of a prehistoric beast.

The other two tribal elders also nodded, acknowledging Tuoba Chongxiao's contributions.

"Since that is the case, I shall not yield."

Tuoba Chongxiao nodded, thinking to himself that he was lucky. If it hadn't been for the chance discovery of Lu Xiaoteng's spirit beast Di Kun back then, this opportunity to hold a ceremony might have been taken by someone else. By holding the ceremony himself, he naturally meant more benefits for him. It was even rumored that the divine artifact used by the thirteen-tierized gods was unknown.

Although both "spiritual artifacts" and "treasures" differ by only one character, their power is incomparable. With the thirteen-tiered expert of the Giant Stone Clan, Chilling, gone, the inherited armory has become their greatest weapon against the Ghost Clan.

"Hold on!" A sinister voice suddenly rang out. A stout, white-haired old man strode towards them. With each step he took, he covered a hundred zhang. In just a few strides, he was standing before the crowd.

“It’s Tuoba Xingdou. Now we are about to open the Legacy Armory. I wonder what authority you have to stop us” Before Tuoba Chongxiao could speak, Tuoba Zhan Shan, who had a fiery temper, spoke first.

"Xingdou younger brother, this time you were indeed reckless. Don't retreat yet." Tuoba Chongxiao had a hint of a smile on his lips. The Tuoba family was not monolithic, and although Tuoba Xingdou was only an eleventh-rank warrior, he was extraordinary. A treasure in his hand possessed power that even he had to be wary of, coupled with his excellent cultivation aptitude, he was the greatest threat to him within the Tuoba family.

If his strength were to reach that of a Level Twelve Warrior, it would even threaten the position of the Grand Elder. However, this time by welcoming back the Dragon-Lion Saint Beast, he ensured the continuous transmission of the Giant Stone Clan's heritage.

The treasures in the martial arts treasury he could choose first, his strength was already as steady as Mount Tai. However, Tuoba Xingdou was nearly two hundred years younger than him. And what Tuoba Chongxiao had his eye on was Tuoba Xiangyun, the elder chosen to succeed him. Although Tuoba Xingdou was extremely gifted, his mind was narrow. If he inherited the position of Grand Elder, it would be a misfortune for the Tuoba family.

This time, he decided to open the inheritance armory ahead of schedule, in order to let Tuoba Xingdou get as little benefit as possible. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xingdou still came. It seems that he has to make further arrangements behind him, otherwise, Tuoba Xingdou's position as the second elder will become even more stable.

"Elder, your words are too kind. As the second elder of the Tuoba clan, I naturally have the qualifications to participate in this gathering. My previous words were inappropriate, and I hope you will forgive me."

Tuoba Xingdou jumped, knowing this was not the time to get angry. He lowered his stance and said meekly.

"Since that's the case, then stay." There wasn't much surprise on Tuo Ba Chongxiao's face. Although Tuo Ba Xingdou was arrogant, he wasn't a fool. If he couldn't even bear this small matter, he wasn't worthy of his attention.

Tuoba Chongxiao ignored the threat and turned to Tu Zhan Shan and the others, saying, "Time is of the essence, let's begin!"

Several patriarchs nodded, each leading their followers to kneel down with heads bowed and solemn expressions. Their mouths moved vigorously, reciting arcane incantations with fervent passion. The combined chants of a dozen voices surged into a torrent that flowed toward the abyssal chasm in the earth's core.

Tuoba Chongxiao clasped his hands together, a silver-gray crystal figurine as if alive, merging with the energy formed by the incantation and taking flight with a flap of its wings.

Other warriors, like Tuo Zhan Shan, each took out a similarly sized dragon-lion figurine. The five crystal dragon-lions whirled and swirled rapidly in a pentagonal formation.

Tuo Ba Chongxiao and others joined their hands in front of their chests, with a devout expression on their faces. With both hands raised, they lifted a grayish-white halo toward the five rapidly swirling dragon and lion crystal circles.

Within the dark canyon, a roaring sound raged like a stormy sea. Even powerful cultivators like Tuoba Chongxiao seemed insignificant before such immense power.

Wow! The mountains on both sides of the canyon are shaking. A majestic ancient stone hall, tens of meters high and crafted entirely from gray stone, slowly rises from the churning magma. The main door of the hall is tightly shut, with a colossal dragon-lion stone sculpture standing guard, its eyes closed.

"Halt!" shouted Tuoba Chongxiao and the others. The several floating crystal carvings plunged into the gaping maw of the stone carving dragon-lion, as if it were a celestial being come to life. This dragon-lion sculpture seemed to be a solitary immortal...

As they sped forward, a deep and chilling aura emanated from afar, along with waves of chaotic magic constantly surging towards them.

At this time, the three of Tuoba Hai's complexion wasn't very good as they stopped. In the distance, a strange sight presented itself. Looking around, on a wide river several miles across that flowed turbulently, several giant waves surged from the river onto the grass. It seemed that several gigantic water figures were surrounding a few people in the middle of the waves, fighting fiercely.

From the aura of those who made their move, Lu Xia Tian didn't need to look to recognize them as Yu Dongbao, Shao Zixia, and Huo Ying.
