Late at night, Li Qing and the Night Wolf King finally sensed the changes beneath the Starfall Mountain Range.
Black mist billowed from the excavated underground caves, rising toward the surface. Layers of faint spiritual light shimmered across the solid rock walls.
"How is this possible? There really is a restriction here!"
"I've been in the Starfall Mountain Range for years and never sensed it. Unbelievable!"
Li Qing's eyes gleamed as he observed the shifting surroundings. The restriction truly only appeared at night.
This particular restriction was unique; it was nearly impossible to detect without exceptionally strong divine sense.
However, those with divine souls comparable to cultivators in the Divine Transformation stage could sense its presence.
Deep within the underground cave passage, Li Qing continued to extend his divine sense.
As expected, the moment his divine sense touched the rock walls, it was repelled, preventing further exploration.
"It seems there really is something extraordinary hidden beneath this place. Why else would such a powerful restriction be in place?"
"Moreover, the pattern of this restriction appears extremely ancient," Li Qing murmured, his gaze fixed on the faint spiritual energy patterns shimmering across the rock wall. "Could it have been established during the ancient era?"
Li Qing scrutinized the patterns intently, but his knowledge of such matters was limited, making it difficult to determine their precise origins.
"What's next? Force our way through?" the Night Wolf King asked in a low voice.
"Seems like we have no other choice," Li Qing replied casually. "Let's combine our efforts and see what happens."
With that, the human cultivator and the wolf king unleashed their most formidable techniques, bombarding the restriction's spiritual light on the rock wall.
This was no ordinary restriction. Li Qing, a late-stage nascent soul great cultivator, and the Night Wolf King, a transformation stage demon lord, combined their might, yet they couldn't even shake it.
Incredible!
But this only underscored the restriction's extraordinary nature, suggesting it guarded a treasure of world-shattering value.
With this realization, Li Qing channeled his mana with renewed fervor, even resorting to using heavenly spirit fireβa force of unparalleled destructive powerβto assault the rock wall.
Finally, the restriction's spiritual light began to dim, signaling that their assault was taking effect.
The restrictions lining the walls of the underground cave were like a tightly woven net: sever one thread, and the entire structure would unravel.
Boom!
As the restrictions vanished, the entire cave began to tremble violently. Layer upon layer of rock shattered, as if a massive collapse were underway.
A vast underground chamber suddenly appeared, sending boulders tumbling downward. The impact reverberated through the Starfall Mountain Range above, causing widespread devastation.
On the surface, the central section of the thousand-mile-long Starfall Mountain Range collapsed inward.
The tremors were deafening, like a massive earthquake, sending demon beasts fleeing in terror across a hundred-mile radius.
Deep beneath the surface, Li Qing and the Night Wolf King remained unfazed by the cataclysm.
Both were formidable warriors; a mere earthquake and falling rocks posed no threat to them.
Instead, they charged downward through the tumbling debris toward the mysterious chamber below. The area resembled an underground river, punctuated by the plop of stones splashing into the water.
The Night Wolf King, with his exceptional vision, immediately spotted an altar at the end of the underground river.
"Look there!"
Even without his prompting, Li Qing's divine sense had already swept across the area, revealing the altar's full form within his Sea of Consciousness.
In the darkness, the altar enshrined a statueβa wolf-shaped statue!
"That's... the Sun Moon Heavenly Wolf!"
The Night Wolf King recognized the statue's form and exclaimed in shock.
The statue was lifelike, resembling a colossal wolf sleeping peacefully.
Sun Moon Heavenly Wolf
Li Qing mentally searched for any information related to this name. Despite his many years traversing the Human Realm and studying countless ancient texts, he had never encountered this so-called Sun Moon Heavenly Wolf.
The Night Wolf King eagerly explained, "The Sun Moon Heavenly Wolf is a True Spirit that exists only in the upper realm. Only we wolves know of it, for legend says it is the ancestor of all wolfkind. Every wolf demon carries a trace of its bloodline within them!"
"If we can activate it, our bloodline potential will increase dramatically!"
Though Li Qing didn't understand the significance of the Sun Moon Heavenly Wolf, hearing the term "True Spirit" made it clear this was an extremely powerful being, standing at the pinnacle of existence, a forbidden entity.
"A True Spirit?"
Confirming this was indeed the Heavenly Wolf Holy Altar, they accelerated their flight, reaching the base of the altar in record time.
Neither Li Qing nor the Night Wolf King acted rashly. They cautiously observed their surroundings, their gazes fixed on the Heavenly Wolf Statue enshrined on the altar, remaining motionless for a long time.
Li Qing finally broke the silence with a light chuckle. "Brother Wolf, this is your clan's inheritance. Why hesitate here?"
"Don't you want to awaken that legendary trace of Heavenly Wolf Bloodline within you?"
The Night Wolf King felt a flicker of temptation, but his rise to this level had taught him caution. In such a place of extraordinary origin, reckless action could easily invite disaster.
"Brother Li, you jest. I'm not about to throw my life away before understanding this place!"
Li Qing shook his head with a smile and patted his storage bag.
A third-tier corpse puppet materialized in mid-air. This was the corpse refinement puppet he had obtained from Fire Cliff Cave long ago. For exploring such secret realms, these corpse puppets served as ideal pathfinders.
Under his mental control, the third-tier corpse refinement puppet strode onto the altar. It ascended to the summit, reaching the base of the Heavenly Wolf Statue, without encountering any mishaps.
Seeing this, the Night Wolf King could no longer restrain himself and immediately charged forward.
Upon reaching the altar's peak, he prostrated himself before the stone sculpture with utmost reverence, lowering his proud wolf head.
Perhaps moved by his piety, or perhaps triggered by the Night Wolf King's lupine aura, the Heavenly Wolf Stone Sculpture began to tremble.
Buzz!
"Could there really be a True Spirit Inheritance here?"
Li Qing's composure faltered. A True Spirit Inheritance meant supreme power, unparalleled might!
He had once obtained the Kunpeng Art, though not the complete inheritance. Yet the Kunpeng Combat Technique and Kunpeng Extreme Speed had already benefited him immensely.
Such precious techniques far surpassed ordinary divine abilities, their power amplifying exponentially with cultivation level.
Even now, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique remained one of Li Qing's trump cards, one he would only use as a last resort.
Soon, the trembling Heavenly Wolf Stone Sculpture slowly opened its eyes. Two beams of golden and silver light shot forth from its wolfish gaze, striking the Night Wolf King directly.
Instantly, the Night Wolf King's body froze in place, utterly motionless.
"Brother Wolf, what's happening? Did you gain anything?" Li Qing asked, frowning.
But the Night Wolf King remained unresponsive, frozen in place. If not for his steady breathing, Li Qing would have suspected he was dead.
