Chapter 645 - 40: Immortal Fate (Part 2)

However, within this Spirit Immortal’s grand tomb, the myriad treasures and the remains of the Bixi had long since been claimed by a subsequent Spirit Immortal who had obtained a Taixu Token. All that was left was the legacy, along with a lifetime of cultivation experience and insights.

Unfortunately, it was a legacy of the Demon Race, named the *Taixu Dragon Transformation Scripture*, and neither Fang Cheng nor Feng Yan could cultivate it.

Even other members of the Demon Race without a Dragon Race bloodline would find it exceedingly difficult to cultivate.

The Sixth Floating Island was also left behind by a Spirit Immortal of the Demon Race. On it stood a majestic palace built in the grand, primordial style of the Demon Race. Coiled within the main hall was a thousand-zhang-long cyan chilong. Though it had been dead for countless ages, it still radiated a tyrannical aura.

This was a Spirit Immortal-rank Cyan Chilong. It had been gravely wounded in battle with a cultivator and fled to this place. After hastily scratching a few words onto the palace floor, it perished.

A Spirit Immortal had left behind the seventh floating island.

This Spirit Immortal clearly hadn’t wanted their remains to be desecrated or exploited by posterity. Thus, the entire floating island held only a Stone Stele and a Sixth-rank Magical Artifact, left as a gift for a fated successor.

The Stone Stele shimmered with a divine glow, containing their legacy—a Cultivation Technique and a lifetime of insights into the Dao.

The legacy was named the *Langhuan Secret Manual*. It was a Qi Refining Technique of the Xuanmen Orthodox Sect, which also included an Artifact Refining Technique. It was orthodox and profound, and if placed in the Lower Realm, it would be enough to serve as the pillar legacy for a major power like the Beiming Immortal Race.

The Magical Artifact they left behind was a pair of Sun and Moon Essence Wheels. Strictly speaking, it was a set composed of two separate Sixth-rank Magical Artifacts, and its power was immense.

After that person, Feng Yan became the eighth master of this "cabin."

The span of time between them was likely a million years...

It was primarily from the fifth and seventh floating islands that Fang Cheng and Feng Yan were able to glimpse the truth and piece together the secrets of this Immortal Ship.

There were likely thousands of such "cabins" aboard the Immortal Ship, and over the vast river of time, it was impossible to know how many Spirit Immortals had left their fated legacies here.

But without a Taixu Token, they could only sigh in wistful regret.

’I’ll bet more than half of the Beiming Immortal Race’s so-called Clan Treasures came from this Immortal Ship...’

Fang Cheng guessed.

Feng Yan picked up the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel and passed the sun wheel to Fang Cheng’s Golden Crow Incarnation, her voice soft. "Fellow Daoist, how about we each take one?"

Fang Cheng had no objection.

Although he had helped Feng Yan immensely, they wouldn’t have been able to enter this place without her Undying Jade. It was a mutually beneficial partnership.

The Golden Crow Incarnation accepted the Great Sun Essence Wheel. After refining it, the wheel soared into the sky, transforming into a mass of light like a blazing sun. It spun rapidly, unleashing a vast and formidable power.

Meanwhile, Feng Yan refined the Profound Moon Essence Wheel and put it away.

When the sun and moon wheels were combined, their power would be even greater.

The Golden Crow Incarnation rose into the sky. Feeling the power of the Great Sun Essence Wheel, he smiled in satisfaction and said to Feng Yan, "Fellow Daoist Feng, I can now congratulate you. Your ascension is finally within reach."

Feng Yan smiled faintly. "I would say my chances have increased to seventy or eighty percent. Whether I can successfully ascend in the end will still depend on fate and circumstance... Regardless, it is all thanks to you, Fellow Daoist, for clearing away so many obstacles. Only then could I have achieved what I have today."

Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she gave a graceful bow toward both of Fang Cheng’s incarnations to express her gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, that Cyan Chilong should be of great use to you. Please, take it. I also need to spend some time cultivating here to fully absorb this fated legacy."

Fang Cheng laughed heartily. "Since you’ve offered, I won’t be polite."

The body of that Spirit Immortal-rank Cyan Chilong was a peerless treasure. Whether used to refine a new Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation or by his true self to cultivate the Primordial Celestial Demon Strategy, it would be of immense help in increasing his power.

Feng Yan’s offer to let him have the body was a clear and unspoken expression of her gratitude.

Fang Cheng went to the Sixth Floating Island and, after some effort, collected the Cyan Chilong’s remains, intending to use them later.

「Several months later.」

Feng Yan had fully absorbed the legacy and cultivation insights left by the Spirit Immortal. A gem-like radiance shone from her stunningly beautiful face, and her Magical Power flowed as a unified whole, giving her an aura of profound simplicity.

The two lingered no longer, immediately departing the Immortal Ship and re-entering the Yin Yang Chaos River.

The instant the ancient tomb flew out of the Taixu Gate, a sheet of golden light descended, locking it in place.

Auspicious light overflowed as layers of rosy clouds gathered. The Golden Dawn Array trembled violently and completely annihilated an ancient demon, from which three rays of light flashed out.

The tomb instantly returned to its original state before Feng Yan quickly put it away.

She summoned the Profound Moon Essence Wheel, which circled her to form a globe of pure light, deflecting the waves of golden light that assaulted her.

The wooden armor on the Golden Crow Incarnation’s body erupted in endless golden flames. Resembling a great sun, the fire enveloped him completely, leaving him entirely unharmed.

As for the Pu Hua incarnation, he summoned an ancient bell and was firmly shielded within it.

"A Sixth Rank Array... Quite the move!"

Fang Cheng sneered, his gaze turning to a point outside the array.

He saw not only Beiming Yong, but three other experts standing in the void, their auras every bit as powerful as his.

One of them, an old man, asked coolly, "Ascendant Pu Hua, I have but one question for you: Where is Venerable Jiayin?"

The man stood within a sphere of yellow light. He had white hair, a silver beard, and a ruddy complexion. His features were strange and ancient, and his figure was tall. He wore a fiery red Daoist Robe, and his aura was simply astonishing.

Ye Tuo of Yuelang Heaven stood at this man’s side. The golden armor he wore blazed with light that stretched for a hundred zhang, crackling with strange, electric radiance. His gaze, when it fell upon Fang Cheng, was filled with both apprehension and killing intent.

On the other side stood a young woman in yellow, as beautiful as an immortal. Dressed in what looked like a shawl of clouds and a skirt of dawn mist, she carried herself with infinite grace. She was adorned with pearls and jewels that shimmered with flowing light, and her own beauty was radiant enough to outshine them.

Including Beiming Yong with his giant bow and clothes of woven leaves, there were a total of four top-tier experts. They had laid a Sixth Rank Array to trap Fang Cheng and Feng Yan.
