Xiao Yi examined these corpses.

No matter what marks appeared on the corpses, Xiao Yi wouldn’t be surprised.

After all, these corpses must have fallen from the pit above.

Before falling, they had already encountered battles; either with demon beasts or life and death struggles among martial artists.

Some, like him, might have come to explore this Golden Light Forbidden Land and perished afterward.

There are various situations, and likewise, many types of injury marks.

However, he was puzzled by the marks of being cut into a thousand pieces.

If one had encountered an enemy in the pit above, been killed, then mutilated and thrown to the bottom of this Golden Light Forbidden Land.

This is possible.

But amongst these corpses, one or two might be understandable.

Yet, among the countless remains, many corpses bear such marks, which is unreasonable.

It couldn’t be that all these martial artists coincidentally encountered enemies before their death, could it?

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi fired a starlight from his fingertips.

The starlight illuminated the surroundings for hundreds of meters.

Xiao Yi’s gaze fixed on the mountain wall.

The mountain wall around was filled with weapons, whether blades or swords, staves or spears...

Judging by their quality, most were Sub-Saint Artifacts, and some were Low Grade Holy Devices, but all were damaged.

The surrounding fierce wind blew violently, the airflow was intense.

These weapons should have been lifted by the wind, ending up embedded in the mountain wall.

Could it be that these corpses were mutilated in the midst of a wild windstorm, as weapons were flung around?

Xiao Yi frowned.

Even if not Body Cultivation Martial Artists, martial artists’ bodies are extremely powerful if their cultivation is deep enough.

Take the Beiyin Sect Great Elder; under the cultivation of Martial Arts Great Power, he wouldn’t die even if his body were pierced.

If Xiao Yi hadn’t killed him then, he would at most be severely injured.

The surrounding martial artists’ corpses, though not Martial Arts Great Powers when alive, were at least above the Saint King Realm to dare jump into this unfathomably deep Golden Light Forbidden Land.

This explains why some corpses among these have been dead for decades yet are still half-decayed, even perfectly preserved.

Those weapons embedded in the mountain wall are all damaged, and after countless years, their power has already dissipated.

At most, they’re just relatively sharp weapons.

Logically, they shouldn’t cause such terrifying mutilation marks.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

What dangers lie beneath this Golden Light Forbidden Land?

Xiao Yi tightened his grip on the sword and headed towards the cave entrance.

Gang Wind blew violently from the cave mouth.

Golden Light Power also emerged from that direction of the cave entrance.

Clearly, the cave entrance is the ’main feature’ of this Golden Light Forbidden Land.

To uncover the secret of this Golden Light Forbidden Land, entering that cave entrance is the only solution.

Arriving at the cave entrance, Xiao Yi glanced at it and was suddenly shocked.

Inside the cave entrance was an entirely different world.

Just at first glance, the range within the cave entrance exceeded tens of miles in length and width.

In the center, a Cave Mansion stood prominently.

"Cave Mansion?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Looking around, besides the Cave Mansion, there was nothing inside.

Xiao Yi didn’t cast out starlight.

Because the surrounding area was completely bathed in Golden Light.

The entire Cave Mansion, wrapped in dense Golden Light, appeared dazzlingly golden.

Xiao Yi sensed it.

The Golden Light Power surrounding the Cave Mansion was far denser and stronger than elsewhere.

Simultaneously, a trace of Golden Light Power floated out from inside the Cave Mansion.

The floating Golden Light was scant and not very dense.

But as it neared surrounding Golden Light, this trace of Golden Light kept thickening.

"I see." Xiao Yi’s face lit up with realization.

The true origin of the Golden Light Dangerous Land and the Golden Light Forbidden Land; it should be this ancient and enormous Cave Mansion before him.

The floating-out Golden Light within the Cave Mansion wasn’t much.

But countless years of its continuous accumulation resulted in the current thick Golden Light.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, approaching closer to the Cave Mansion, intending to examine it more closely.

Aside from the dazzling Golden Light on the Cave Mansion and the ancient aura, there was nothing peculiar.

The Cave Mansion didn’t even have a name plaque, it was nameless.

In front of the Cave Mansion stood 18 sharp swords.

The swords gleamed with an ancient aura, proving that they had existed for countless years.

Yet, over countless years, these 18 sharp swords hadn’t suffered a single bit of damage.

The sword bodies were bright, and the sword edges sharp.

"High Grade Holy Artifact?" Xiao Yi sensed, then his face showed shock.

Indeed, High Grade Holy Artifact.

All 18 sharp swords were High Grade Holy Artifacts.

The aura of each sword far surpassed the Cold Flame Sword.

What’s the concept of a High Grade Holy Artifact? It’s a treasure coveted by everyone in the Central Region.

Even an Overlord Force like the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures might not possess a High Grade Holy Artifact.

Even if they did, they surely wouldn’t have more than two.

Yet here, before this nameless Cave Mansion, stood 18 High Grade Holy Artifacts.

"Gulp." Xiao Yi swallowed, his face showed delight.

No one would be indifferent to High Grade Holy Artifacts, Xiao Yi was no exception.

Especially since these 18 High Grade Holy Artifacts are sword-type, the allure for Sword Cultivators is evident.

Xiao Yi cautiously approached, his expression solemn.

The 18 High Grade Holy Artifacts have clearly been here for a long time.

But he was not the first to discover the Golden Light Forbidden Land.

This Golden Light Forbidden Land had long been explored by countless experts.

Yet these 18 High Grade Holy Artifacts still remained, still steadfastly stood before the Cave Mansion.

This indicated that no strong power, not even an Overlord Force like Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, could take away these 18 sharp swords.

Xiao Yi didn’t think he could easily take them either.

Furthermore, danger may lurk around the swords.

Thus, he was extraordinarily cautious now, inching forward slowly.

With one hand gripping the Cold Flame Sword, the other clutched the Universe Ring tightly.

Inside the Universe Ring lay many treasures, those were his trump cards.

Indeed, after walking only a few steps, about ten meters from those 18 sharp swords...

Clang...

A sword rang out clangorously.

A burst of Golden Light Sword Qi swiftly struck.

Xiao Yi reacted swiftly, slashing out with a sword, instantly blocking the Golden Light Sword Qi.

However, the sword body of the Cold Flame Sword clearly quivered.

The sharpness of that burst of Golden Light Sword Qi was exceptionally astonishing.

If the Cold Flame Sword weren’t inherently strong, any other weapon, even a Low Grade Holy Device, might have been instantly cut apart.

"So that’s it, there’s a prohibition and formation outside the Cave Mansion."

"Among the 18 sharp swords, there’s an inherent Sword Array."

Xiao Yi instantly perceived the marvel in front of the Cave Mansion.

"Sword Array? Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted softly.

Instantly retracting the Cold Flame Sword in his hand, replacing it was a crimson glow enveloping his hands.

His hands transformed into two fierce Beast Hands.

Whoosh... with a flicker, he charged straight at the 18 sharp swords.
