This space resembled a massive circular plaza. The ground was paved with a type of white stone that emitted a soft glow, and in the very center of the plaza stood a colossal statue. The statue depicted an Elder dressed in ancient, unadorned robes. The Elder's expression was serene, his eyes gently closed, and his hands cupped a bead that radiated a multicolored light. The brilliance from the bead shifted constantly, casting living, moving scenes onto the surrounding walls.
Lin Feng and his companions approached the statue and carefully observed the images. The pictures seemed to tell an ancient tale: long ago, a powerful cultivator had established a mysterious inheritance ground right here, with the purpose of selecting those destined to receive his peerless cultivation technique and the mission of protecting this land. However, a sudden, devastating catastrophe had descended, causing this inheritance ground to be sealed and buried away within the dust of passing years...
Just as they were fully immersed in the story depicted by the images, rays of light suddenly ignited all around the plaza. The lights converged into illusory figures, surrounding Lin Feng and the others tightly. These figures varied in form; some were warriors grasping weapons, while others were cultivators wielding spellcraft. Their gazes were cold and hostile, faintly exuding formidable auras.
