Chapter 1693: Chapter 639: Secret Realm Inheritance
Considering that Grandmaster Yan Cang’s lifespan is not very long, Bai Zhiqing probably cannot wait until she has gathered enough materials to refine a high-grade magical treasure to ask this grandmaster for help with its crafting.
Moreover, the Heaven Fire Sect does not lack high-grade magical treasures, and in the future, she can fully exchange them from the sect treasure vault.
Bai Zhiqing, of course, didn’t know that Zhou Chun was already thinking about how to take advantage of her. After hearing Zhou Chun’s words, she didn’t hide anything and immediately replied softly, "I have been traveling for decades, so I only plan to travel for another ten years or so before returning to the sect. The places I want to visit next are the Ice Barbarian Country and the Jingguo Country that Taoist Friend Zhang mentioned. perhaps after traveling through these two countries, I will return to the sect!"
Upon hearing her answer, Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully and said, "If that’s the case, Taoist Friend Bai can go to the Ice Barbarian Country first, then proceed to the Jingguo Country."
With that, he smiled slightly at her and said, "When Taoist Friend Bai arrives in Jingguo Country, you can visit the Zhou Family in the Green Lotus Mountain Range of Jingguo Country. Zhou Mou will be there waiting for you!"
At this point, he also smiled apologetically and said, "I have something to apologize to Taoist Friend Bai for. Zhou Mou is actually not surnamed Zhang; the name Zhang Liang is just a pseudonym I used while traveling the Cultivation World!"
"I see! Taoist Friend Zhou, you really kept Zhiqing in the dark!"
Bai Zhiqing nodded with a face of realization and then slightly teased Zhou Chun for hiding his identity from her.
If it were before Core Formation, she certainly wouldn’t dare speak to Zhou Chun like that.
But now that she has formed the Golden Core, and both of them are at the same realm, her courage has grown.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn’t mind; he just smiled wryly and cupped his hands toward her in apology.
Fortunately, Bai Zhiqing knew her limits. After teasing Zhou Chun slightly, she didn’t dwell on the matter further but was very receptive to Zhou Chun’s suggestion.
After making such arrangements, Bai Zhiqing left Tianyuan Immortal City alone and set off towards the Ice Barbarian Country.
Zhou Chun also returned to his cave residence to continue his peaceful secluded cultivation.
On the other side, after more than two years of diligent cultivation, Zhou Zhiying finally grasped the secrets of the Taichi Separation of Spirits technique, successfully completing the division of her Divine Soul and dividing out a soul division!
From this perspective, even though her determination was somewhat lacking, there was no doubt her comprehension was extremely high.
When she used a secret technique to control the soul division out of her body to approach the serpent puppet, which had been dormant for more than two years, the serpent puppet finally opened its eyes again.
"Very well, you’ve passed the comprehension trial, proving that you are qualified to become the heir to my legacy as the {Xuanfeng Nephew}!"
With spiritual light flashing in its eyes, the serpent puppet nodded slightly and waved its hand, pushing Zhou Zhiying’s soul division back into her body.
Afterward, it turned and said, "Follow me now, and I’ll take you to the true inheritance ground to receive the complete legacy!"
Is it finally at this stage?
Zhou Zhiying’s spirit was lifted, and she immediately followed the serpent puppet toward a door at the side rear of the grand hall.
Seeing the serpent puppet raise its hand to cast a mana that landed on the door, the door opened accordingly.
Following the serpent puppet through the door, they soon arrived at a sleeping chamber.
In this sleeping chamber, the tables and chairs were all made of fourth-grade spirit wood, and even after an unknown number of years, there was no sign of fading or decay. The bed was made of fifth-grade spiritual wood, Heavenly Fragrance Purple Sandalwood!
However, no remains of the owner were on the bed at this time, only a cyan jade tablet, a cyan jade bottle, and a silver formation banner.
"My true body has fallen under the God Transformation tribulation, leaving no remains!"
"Junior, you only need to consume the Azure Sky Pill inside the Vast Azure Jade Vase, switch cultivation to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Wind Scripture inscribed on the jade tablet, and refine the mana cultivated from this scripture into that formation banner. Then you can gain access rights to freely enter and exit this cave dwelling!"
"Once you’ve formed the core, you can head to the Grand Universe Hall to refine the main array flag of the Heaven and Earth Reversal Great Formation and proceed to the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion to acquire the treasures left by my true body!"
After introducing these things, the serpent puppet turned to Zhou Zhiying and said, "My true body was dedicated to pursuing the path of longevity, and during my life, I never had any Daoist partners or formal disciples. Junior, since you are destined to inherit my legacy, I hope you can carry on my remains, aiming for Divinity Transformation, and accomplish the wish I never fulfilled in my lifetime!"
"The top floor of the Book Collection Pavilion contains my biography and various cultivation experience notes. I hope you make good use of the heritage left by your predecessors to reach heights they never achieved!"
As these words fell, the light in the serpent puppet’s eyes quickly dissipated, as if it had completed its mission, and it completely fell silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiying immediately knelt before the serpent puppet and knocked her head three times respectfully, saying, "Please rest assured, senior. I will definitely remember your teachings, inherit your will, and strive to live up to your high expectations!"
The times are changing, in this era, the Divine Venerable is already an unattainable existence.
Even though Zhou Zhiying has extraordinary talent, she doesn’t think she has any chance of breaking through to that realm.
But since she inherited the legacy from {Xuanfeng Nephew}, she must still strive towards this goal.
After bowing her head to declare her intention, she approached with excitement and trepidation to examine the three treasures on the Heavenly Fragrance Purple Sandalwood bed.
