“Huh?!”
After a bout of dizziness, Xiao Heng, who finally saw the surrounding scenery clearly, was greatly shocked.
The surroundings of the Bone Pioneer Realm were in a mess, with traces of battles everywhere.
The once magnificent scenery now appeared somewhat ruined.
“Senior Skull…”
Xiao Heng’s heart tightened, hastily rushing towards the resting place of the Senior Skull.
However, the closer he got, the more prominent the traces of battle became.
An ominous premonition grew stronger, and when Xiao Heng arrived, he couldn’t help but freeze completely.
As if a violent explosion had occurred, there was no trace of the Senior Skull.
Only a pitch-black deep pit remained, telling of the recent fierce battle that seemed to have taken place here.
“What on earth happened?”
Xiao Heng’s expression became somewhat unsightly.
“Could it be that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has caught up?”
Recalling the instructions from the Senior Skull before his slumber, Xiao Heng subconsciously thought.
Xiao Heng, who had been wandering in Shilin Province for more than a decade, was no longer the ignorant youth he once was in the cultivation world.
It was precisely because of this that his heart grew even colder.
When he was at the Qi Condensation stage, he dared to utter the heroic words of “overthrowing the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and reviving the glory of Reclaiming Eternity, which is our unshirkable duty.”
But now, as a Golden Core stage cultivator, he dared not boast so recklessly anymore.
“The senior’s instructions were, if he couldn’t be contacted, it meant this place had been exposed. For safety’s sake, destroy the Hand Bone as soon as possible and cut off all connections with this place.”
Although he felt somewhat reluctant, Xiao Heng was not a vacillating person.
Before leaving, he thoroughly searched the Bone Pioneer Realm one last time.
To Xiao Heng’s surprise, the bone altar in the secret realm seemed to have not been completely destroyed.
There were still faintly familiar fluctuations emanating from it.
Xiao Heng’s heart stirred, calling out according to the method he had prayed before.
“Senior Skull!”
After a moment, the figure of the Senior Skull did appear above the ruins of the altar.
Xiao Heng was extremely excited, but in an instant, he calmed down.
Because what stood before him was just an illusion.
“Xiao lad, I didn’t have time to bid you farewell.”
“I didn’t expect that, hiding here for so long, they still wouldn’t give up on their plans against me.”
“If you can see this image, it means I have met an unfortunate end.”
Even though he was mentally prepared, hearing the Senior Skull speak these words personally, Xiao Heng’s eyes still reddened involuntarily.
“…Although I led them away before I fell into slumber, avoiding your exposure.”
“But it’s not safe here anymore.”
“After you go back, cut off the connection with this place and never come back.”
…
“I left four little Medicine King Cauldrons for you in the altar.”
“They are keys to entering the true Medicine King Cauldron.”
“Thousands of years ago, the Lord of the Medicine King Sect, Liu Ruchen, led all the members of the Medicine King Sect to break through the boundaries. But more than ten years ago, I sensed that they had returned to the Xuanhuang Realm. It was that fiery meteor that ultimately fell into the Abyss of the Cangwu.”
“If everything goes as expected, something must have happened to the Medicine King Sect. However, I sensed a great opportunity within the Medicine King Cauldron.”
“If you have the chance, you can explore it.”
“Remember, there should be other little Medicine King Cauldrons scattered outside. Perhaps others can use secret methods to sense their locations through these little Medicine King Cauldrons.”
“Be extremely careful of your own safety. If it’s impossible, selling the little Medicine King Cauldrons for a good price is also a good way out.”
“Oh, there are some materials I scavenged back then stored in the little Medicine King Cauldrons. Remember to retrieve them.”
“Consider it my final gift to you.”
“Remember, endure, lie low…”
“Inheritance!”
After the Senior Skull’s earnest words, the image disappeared completely.
And four ancient small cauldrons appeared in front of Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng suppressed the sorrow in his heart and put away the small Medicine King Cauldrons.
Then, showing determination on his face, he left the Bone Pioneer Realm.
“Xiao Heng, what’s wrong?” Su Xiaomei and the others, seeing Xiao Heng’s red eyes, couldn’t help but change their expressions.
In front of everyone, the small hand bone, which served as the token for entry, was destroyed.
Then Xiao Heng brought the members of “Reclaiming Eternity” to the secret room of the stronghold and requested that they do the same.
Only after the connection with the Bone Pioneer Realm was completely severed did Xiao Heng explain everything.
“The Senior Skull fell?!”
Although the others were somewhat surprised, they weren’t as sorrowful as Xiao Heng.
After all, only Xiao Heng had contact with the Senior Skull.
However, they couldn’t separate the fact that they could embark on the path of cultivation smoothly from the care of the Senior Skull.
The people of “Reclaiming Eternity” were not ungrateful.
So at this moment, they all felt a bit sad.
But that was it.
“What should we do next?”
After a moment of silence, a question was posed to everyone.
Should they continue to maintain their identity as members of Reclaiming Eternity and resist the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?
Or…
After all, they couldn’t twist the arm of a strongman.
With their cultivation at the peak Nascent Soul stage, trying to overthrow the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, which had existed for thousands of years under the dominion of the Immortal Sage, was indeed somewhat ridiculous.
“The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance isn’t a good thing,” Su Xiaomei expressed her opinion first.
“Once you join the Immortal Alliance, you’re a cow or a horse for life. We can’t join that Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance,” Zhang Haobo echoed.
Su Changyu, with his eyes closed, said calmly, “I support Xiaomei.”
Xiao Heng looked at the decisions his companions made and couldn’t help but feel moved.
He deeply understood the vast disparity in power between Reclaiming Eternity and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Originally, he had only planned to shoulder the mission of Truth alone.
But fortunately, the others didn’t disappoint him.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a timid voice saying, “The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance isn’t a good thing!”
Xiao Heng was taken aback.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a young, green-faced boy scratching the back of his head, his face flushed.
Xiao Heng smiled and praised, “Wuyou, you’re brave!”
The boy’s face grew even hotter.
This boy was none other than Han Wuyou, the descendant of the two mortals who had fled from the Cong Yun Sea with Xiao Heng in the past.
His parents had passed away due to illness some years ago, and he himself was raised by Xiao Heng, Su Changyu, and others.
Han Wuyou had a decent aptitude for cultivation and embarked on the path of cultivation under Xiao Heng’s guidance.
At the age of fourteen, he was already at the Late Qi Condensation stage.
After praising Han Wuyou, Xiao Heng turned his head.
“I understand everyone’s intentions. But we cannot deny one thing: the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is indeed too powerful. With our current strength, trying to confront it head-on is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.”
“What the Senior said before his fall was right. Our main task is to endure and inherit.”
Xiao Heng’s expression was resolute, his eyes firm.
“What is divided will eventually come together, and what is together will eventually fall apart. This is the great trend of heaven and earth.”
“Mortal dynasties often have a limit of five hundred years.”
“Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is powerful, it has also inherited for thousands of years.”
“As long as we pass down the ideals of “Reclaiming Eternity” from generation to generation and wait quietly for the opportune moment.”
“There will eventually come a time when the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance encounters a major change and falls apart.”
“That time will be our chance.”
Xiao Heng said slowly.
Su Xiaomei chuckled, unconcerned.
The others just nodded symbolically.
Only Han Wuyou, with his eyes wide open, was full of hopeful light.
“Xiao Heng, didn’t you say that the Senior Skull left you four small cauldrons?”
“Hurry up and show them to me, let’s see what treasures they are.”
Amidst the awkward silence, it was still Su Xiaomei who came to the rescue.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng took a deep breath and took out the four small Medicine King Cauldrons, placing them in front of everyone.
Su Xiaomei picked up one and examined it carefully.
“Is this it? It’s shabby and doesn’t look like anything good.”
“Huh, there seems to be something hidden inside.”
After a moment, Su Xiaomei exclaimed.
“Wow! So many spirit stones! We’re rich!”
“And there are so many herbs!”
“Haha, this is good stuff!”
Su Xiaomei tossed the small Medicine King Cauldron aside and happily put on a silver necklace.
Then she showed several identical ones to everyone.
“Come on, everyone gets a share.”
Seeing this, Zhang Haobo’s eyes lit up.
“Is this a necklace inscribed with an instant teleportation array?”
Su Xiaomei nodded repeatedly, “That’s it. During our time in the Chaoyuan Sect, we escaped death several times because of it.”
As Su Xiaomei and the others put on the silver necklaces…
Far away in Lanlin Province, Li Fan’s eyes flashed with a light that others would hardly notice.
“With the help of the updated array, I can finally sense them again.”
He thought to himself.
Under the surveillance of the Formless Killing Intent, the scene of the gathering and discussion of the people in the other realm suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s mind.
“Xiao Heng, what do you think of the opportunity that the Senior Skull mentioned about the Medicine King True Cauldron?”
Su Changyu took back the small cauldron that Su Xiaomei had thrown to the ground, rearranged it neatly, and asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.
But Su Xiaomei, always one to enjoy the excitement, didn’t think it was a big deal.
“Why even think about it? How can you give up when the opportunity is right in front of you?”
“If it weren’t for the adventures in the Chaoyuan Sect, Hao Bo and I would still be in the Golden Core Realm!”
Zhang Haobo squinted, nodding in agreement.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Heng said slowly, “The Senior Skull accurately predicted the drastic changes in the Cong Yun Sea before his death.”
“I believe the opportunity of the Cangwu Abyss Medicine King Cauldron must be genuine.”
“But…”
For some reason, Xiao Heng became somewhat hesitant.
Seeing this, Su Xiaomei immediately became exasperated, “Xiao Heng, you’re not going to back out again, are you?”
“Last time, when Hao Bo and I wanted to go to the Chaoyuan Sect, you didn’t agree.”
“If you do this again, I’ll be really angry!”
“Xiao Heng, I…” Xiao Heng smiled bitterly, about to explain.
But Su Changyu calmly interjected, “If what the Senior said is correct, then this small Medicine King Cauldron is the key to entering the Medicine King True Cauldron.”
“It would be best for all four of us to go together.”
Su Xiaomei nodded repeatedly.
But Su Changyu’s tone changed, “However… we cannot all go.”
“Wuyou is still young and needs someone to take care of him.”
“Zhao Erbao and the Yin sisters are out searching for treasures, and useful things come back from time to time.”
“These things need someone to take care of them.”
