"Sister Yiyi!"
Worry was etched on Ning Ya's face as she spoke hesitantly.
It was clear that she, too, was deeply curious about the legendary ruins of the Magnificent Jasper Faction.
"Let's go down as well!"
An Yi hesitated for a moment, then made her decision. The power this Daoist possessed was far too terrifying; she had to know what he was planning.
The two of them leapt down into the vertical passage, slowly drifting toward the darkness below.
When they reached the bottom, the sight that unfolded before them left both women utterly shaken.
"This place is…?!"
An Yi lifted her head, staring in disbelief at the dome above, countless firefly-like lights formed something akin to a vast, shimmering night sky.
Ruined buildings, broken swords embedded everywhere, ground overgrown with strange fungi, and damp underground rivers, all converged to form a magnificent, sprawling underground cityscape.
"Magnificent Jasper! As expected, Magnificent Jasper is really here!"
Qin Yi sighed in admiration, light flickering in his eyes.
Before him stood the mountain gate of Magnificent Jasper, beneath the shattered stone stele, a massive crack split the two characters Magnificent Jasper apart. Charred traces of lightning strikes left the gate riddled with scars.
Descending slowly and standing atop the rubble, Qin Yi gazed into the vast open space ahead and let out a long sigh.
This great sect, swept away by the river of time and reduced to ruins, still revealed traces of its former grandeur and might.
Riding the wind, he rose into the air and surveyed the enormous underground ruins, sensing the crushing weight of history.
"Taiyi Palace, Jade Spirit Sword Pavilion, Sword-Dancing Plain, Magnificent Jasper Palace, Carrying-Heaven Sword Platform…"
His figure drifted past these once-magnificent, now broken and desolate structures, and his heart filled with emotion. Vaguely, he could almost see the past: powerful figures moving with graceful bearing, dancing with swords, shadows flowing, their auras vast and surging as they strode through the heavens.
Though the flourishing Magnificent Jasper had vanished with time and space, one could still feel the sect's former power. The profound sword intent lingering in the air persisted, even after countless years.
Li Yuanli was bursting with excitement. He moved frantically through the ruins, leaping and running as the information preserved within time and space flowed into him, one fragment after another.
"Your Majesty, so much! There's so much!" he shouted, exhilarated.
A glint flashed in Qin Yi's eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting.
Sure enough, here, the gains would be immense.
The more he understood the Legend of Sword and Fairy world, the more awe he felt toward it, and the more restrained and cautious he became.
Given Qin's Nation's current level of civilization, trying to forcibly establish a nation here would be incredibly difficult, practically impossible. Past attempts had already proven that large-scale entry into this world was not feasible.
According to Li Yuanli, this phenomenon was called civilization suppression: a higher-level civilization would inherently suppress a lower-level one in all aspects.
From Qin Yi's own judgment, he also realized that within the All Heavens Dimensions, each world likely possessed its own cultivation system, its own form of civilization. In the King's World, this manifested as the different radiance levels of Starlight, Moonlight, and Sunlight. This was why, when individuals of different tiers acted, star-like or moonlight-like energy would appear around them.
This difference in power, even between tiers of his own Kings, was a form of suppression.
As for the differences in power between various dimensions, Qin Yi still hadn't fully figured them out. He guessed that in the future, there might be a way to integrate them, and that the King himself should possess a cultivation system unique to his existence.
However, this system, much like the King Skills, was something that awakened gradually, step by step.
At present, Qin Yi naturally had not yet obtained concrete information in this regard, but after comprehending Achieving the Dao, he already had a vague premonition.
"How were the gains?" Qin Yi stepped up to Li Yuanli and asked softly.
"I saw the cultivation methods of many minor techniques and obtained a great deal of information from ancient times," Li Yuanli replied.
"But so far, I haven't found any inheritance stronger than Mount Shu's."
Despite acquiring a massive amount of information, Li Yuanli was growing anxious. If all he obtained were ancient legends and minor techniques, then his harvest from this trip could hardly be considered significant. Using this as a foundation to establish a powerful sect would naturally be impossible.
"If it's a true inheritance, then you should come here."
Qin Yi leapt lightly, his figure heading toward the main Magnificent Jasper Palace.
"This is the Magnificent Jasper Palace, the place where the Magnificent Jasper Sect Lord once resided. Use your talent to see through it."
Li Yuanli's face filled with shock and uncertainty. He had no idea how this Upper King had obtained such information.
At this moment, An Yi and Ning Ya also drifted over, their expressions shaken and their hearts trembling.
No one could have imagined that the Magnificent Jasper Faction buried beneath the Kunlun Mountains would be of such enormous scale, easily a rival to Mount Shu. If it still existed, there would be yet another truly powerful sect in the world.
"I see it, it's the Magnificent Jasper Sect Lord!"
"Her name is Su Yao!"
"I also saw someone called Xuan Xiao, and many disciples and Elders!"
"Before they left, they left behind the inheritance!"
"The inheritance is right, !"
Li Yuanli was so excited that he was practically jumping as he shouted.
At this moment, Qin Yi's pupils also constricted. His heart grew solemn, filled with anticipation.
If this operation succeeded, it would mean acquiring the inheritance and foundation of a great sect. Using this as a base to establish a human Immortal Cultivation sect not inferior to Mount Shu would be no problem at all.
More importantly, this profound inheritance could be used to drive the development of Qin's Nation's civilization. Even if they could not enter the King's World directly, advancing his civilization with superior knowledge alone was an exhilarating prospect.
Madara, Hashirama, Whitebeard, Ace, these were all individuals of exceptional talent. If they cultivated immortality and maintained peak physical condition indefinitely, one could imagine just how many immensely powerful figures Qin's Nation would possess.
"It's beneath the Jade Spirit Sword Pavilion, in the underground Palace Hall, on the Inherited Spirit Sword!" Li Yuanli roared.
Qin Yi's eyes lit up. Behind him, An Yi and Ning Ya were even more shocked beyond words.
"You, you actually know about Magnificent Jasper's past?"
"Senior Brother Yuanli, what exactly is going on with you?" Ning Ya was full of astonishment. The Li Yuanli before her was completely different from the one she used to know.
"Hahahaha! Your Majesty, we've struck it rich this time!"
Li Yuanli didn't even answer Ning Ya's questions. His figure rose into the air as he charged straight toward the Jade Spirit Sword Pavilion.
Five or six minutes later, the four arrived at the pavilion.
This Sword Pavilion was no longer intact as it once had been. It was dilapidated, littered everywhere with fractured debris.
Qin Yi and the others swung their sword fingers, qi swords cutting through the walls to carve out a wide path. During this process, they saw flashes of golden and blue light, as if forming an array diagram, only for it to vanish in an instant.
A single Heavenly Fire had annihilated Magnificent Jasper. These protective arrays had long since lost their source of power and could no longer be sustained.
Soon, following the guidance of Li Yuanli's talent, they arrived before the Spirit Sword buried underground.
The two women were increasingly shaken. These two men were simply outrageous, acting as if they knew everything about Magnificent Jasper, actually managing to locate an inheritance buried deep beneath the earth.
The four stood within the underground Palace Hall, buried beneath the ruins, scanning their surroundings.
One by one, ancient characters glowing with a faint, eerie light slowly surfaced before their eyes.
