Chapter 1179: Chapter 1175: The Legacy Stone of the Divine Hall

The tiny little doll seemed to sense the unrest in Yun Ran’s mood at this moment, and immediately sped up.

With a sharp "crack," the porcelain bottle held in the hands of the little princess-shaped doll shattered cleanly into two halves.

A trace of surprise flashed in Yun Ran’s eyes, but not too much.

Right as the porcelain bottle broke, another drop of water fell down.

The doll’s arm suddenly popped out, using the shard of the already shattered porcelain bottle to catch the drop that was about to fall.

Compared to scooping the liquid out of that little puddle, directly catching the falling drop was much more convenient.

After succeeding, the doll immediately retracted its hand, then bolted toward Yun Ran as fast as its legs could carry it.

That tiny figure clearly looked like it was terrified the shard of porcelain in its hand wouldn’t last.

This scene left Yun Ran momentarily dazed.

Obviously, she hadn’t expected that the detachable arm she had originally installed for this little princess would end up being used like this.

"Master, I’ve brought the liquid back!"

Yun Ran looked at the little princess doll in front of her with a somewhat complicated expression.

She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This kind of High-level Puppet that required half her energy to control really was much more impressive than a Little Paperman.

Unfortunately, with her current strength, being able to control one High-level Puppet was already the limit.

Yun Ran could only suppress the itch in her heart that wanted more Puppets.

She reached out, intending to touch the liquid on the shard of porcelain, but before her fingertips made contact—

A chill that felt like it could pierce through her skin and straight into her bones coiled around Yun Ran’s fingertips.

This icy yin power was many times stronger than the fiercest Evil Spirit she had ever encountered.

If she had to compare, it was like a newborn baby versus a fully grown adult man.

When that icy yin power raced through Yun Ran’s entire body at the fastest speed—

Another strand of energy of unknown origin quietly invaded Yun Ran’s body as well.

Yun Ran instantly sensed something was wrong, but it was already too late.

The doll quickly noticed Yun Ran’s abnormal state and looked at her in panic. "Master, what’s wrong with you?"

Yun Ran’s entire body went rigid, as if she’d been frozen in place, her eyes staring blankly at the giant boulder suspended in midair ahead.

The faint strand of power that had invaded Yun Ran’s body exploded inside her, rapidly coursing through her whole being, more like a signal connecting to some other kind of energy.

The little princess Puppet looked at Yun Ran, then at the boulder that was gradually starting to emit a faint glow.

Its head, which was far larger than its body, turned slightly, and it instantly understood what was happening.

Their master had been chosen by this unknown giant boulder!

If it weren’t worried that rashly interrupting this signal might cause irreparable damage to its master—

The Puppet would have already rushed over to dump out all the liquid from that puddle!

Yun Ran’s body stood there stiffly like a wooden dummy.

In truth, her Divine Soul had already been forcibly dragged over by that giant boulder.

After her initial shock, Yun Ran quickly went along with that power; she also wanted to see what kind of secret this boulder was hiding!

She had originally thought that anything appearing within this Barrier had to be something shady that couldn’t see the light of day.

In the end, Yun Ran’s Divine Soul was instead forcibly crammed full of information—so much that her brain felt like it was about to explode.

That forceful, cramming kind of tearing in her head made Yun Ran feel, for a moment, that the world was spinning; she nearly lost consciousness altogether.

Yun Ran also learned from that information that had been forcibly stuffed into her.

This giant boulder turned out to be the Divine Hall’s inheritance stone on the Snow Mountain Peak! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

By rights, only the High Priests chosen in each generation could receive the inheritance within.

Every High Priest was either someone bearing the血脉 of the Witch Clan, or someone who carried Great Luck.

Without exception, all those chosen were true dragons and phoenixes among men.

Yun Ran was not someone of the Divine Hall, but she did carry Half-witch blood, and she was also the daughter of this novel world’s heroine, Qu Ying.

Although this "heroine’s daughter" identity had been set up as cannon fodder from the very beginning, the bloodline in her body could not be faked.

Putting all the clues together, this giant boulder hidden within a double Barrier seemed to have chosen the wrong person...

This kind of windfall that was basically a "picked-up leak" was something Yun Ran would never turn down.

Her lively, clever eyes turned once, and Yun Ran continued to endure the torrent of things the boulder was desperately pouring into her brain.

Only when the light on the boulder dimmed did Yun Ran’s slightly vacant eyes regain their clarity.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but after accepting the inheritance contained in the boulder, the boulder looked, to the naked eye, like it had turned dull and ashy.

It was as if the boulder had been in a dry environment for a very long time and had begun to show signs of weathering on its surface.

Before Yun Ran could fully process everything in front of her, another incomprehensible scene unfolded.

The liquid in the puddle on the ground actually started flowing backward, returning to the boulder’s surface.

Yun Ran: ...

For a split second, Yun Ran thought something was wrong with her eyes; she even rubbed them.

But the scene she had just seen remained unchanged.

The liquid that had collected into the puddle really was flowing back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even from a distance, she could feel that peculiar suction.

Yun Ran pressed her lips into a thin line. It seemed this Barrier really was somewhat different from the outside world and from what people generally knew.

In that moment, Yun Ran couldn’t help another pang of regret. If only her phone hadn’t broken.

If she could record this scene, it would definitely make a lot of jaws drop.

Before long, the puddle on the ground—which actually wasn’t that small—dried up completely.

After the liquid vanished, in just the blink of an eye, the giant boulder that had been suspended in midair disappeared like a magic trick, without a trace.

If not for the small pit left in the ground and the extra chunk of information in her mind, Yun Ran would have suspected she’d just hallucinated the whole thing.

The boulder vanished, the puddle vanished...

Everything had happened far too quickly, and Yun Ran still hadn’t fully digested the information that had been forcefully shoved into her brain.

Yun Ran instinctively wanted to probe this Barrier within a Barrier, but was once again blasted out by a strong repulsive force.
