"Senior Brother Li, do you think it's possible that he's actually a Nascent Soul Stage senior, who seized someone else's body to be reborn?"

Ji Ruyan's eyes flashed with a trace of contemplation as she spoke.

"That's highly likely. We completely misjudged him back then!"

Shock flickered deep in Li Jiantang's eyes as he muttered, "And he's still a cultivator of our Liuyun Immortal Sect! After we get back, let's report this to the Sect Leader. If we can bring Lin Chang'sheng back, our Liuyun Immortal Sect's power will greatly increase!"

"Yeah, but right now he killed the Saint Heir of the Beimu Immortal Race. That guy was Celestial Concealment's grandson, at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul! His situation is pretty dire!"

A worried look appeared on Ji Ruyan's face.

"That's exactly our Liuyun Immortal Sect's chance! It's more meaningful to offer help in times of need than when all is well. He's one of our own—if anyone dares touch our Liuyun Immortal Sect people, we'll fight them to the death!"

Hope lit up in Li Jiantang's eyes.

"What Senior Brother Li says makes sense. Once we leave the Void Hall, we should hurry back to the sect and let the Sect Leader decide!"

Ji Ruyan said in a deep voice.

"Mm!"

Li Jiantang nodded.

.......

"That bastard! So, he really has Nascent Soul Stage cultivation! This is..."

"How the hell did he break through so fast?"

"Could it be because he refined as many as eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi?"

In the crowd, Wan Wushuang in purple widened her beautiful eyes, staring at the distant sky, shock washing over her face.

At this moment—

By the dried-up Spirit Marrow Pool, more than a thousand Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stage cultivators all watched Lin Chang'sheng's departing figure, utterly stunned.

........

Just as Lin Chang'sheng was extracting the Upper Grade Earth Spirit Vein—

In the Void Hall, Nascent Soul Area, at a vast expanse of empty void—

A white-clad figure floated silently. There was a vertical eye at his brow, making him look extraordinarily mysterious.

Suddenly, the white-clothed figure opened his eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce through the void itself. In an instant, ripples spread out before him, and an image appeared.

Within that scene was a dashingly handsome youth, with Early Stage Golden Core cultivation but an overwhelming aura, waving out a massive hand of spiritual energy and yanking an Earth Spirit Vein from the Golden Core Area, stuffing it into his storage bag.

"Early Stage Golden Core cultivation, yet a Divine Sense comparable to an Early Stage Nascent Soul, and a body as strong as a Middle Stage Golden Core. Though this one has three Spirit Roots—gold, fire, wood—his potential far surpasses Ling Wuji from 900 years ago and Jiang Yukun from 300 years ago!"

"His future achievements will definitely not be low. I'll grant him a grand creation first!"

The white-robed, vertical-eyed apparition murmured, figure flickering and vanishing in an instant.

......

Lin Chang'sheng sped away. Soon, he was over a thousand miles from the Spirit Marrow Pool.

Finding a towering mountain, he prepared to carve out a cave-dwelling, quietly cultivate, and hone and stabilize his Golden Core Stage cultivation, waiting for the moment to exit the Void Hall.

As for the Nascent Soul Area, he didn't plan to enter.

With only Early Stage Golden Core cultivation, if he forced his way in, there would be plenty of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Not only might he fail to find any opportunities, but he might just deliver them to someone else instead.

Now with Early Stage Golden Core cultivation, he'd simply lay low and fortify his strength for now.

Just then—

Lin Chang'sheng noticed ripples stirring before him and, all of a sudden, a white-robed apparition appeared. There was a vertical eye at his brow. He gazed at Lin Chang'sheng, his eyes warm, and said, "A billion years in a dream—at last, this immortal has found someone worthy of inheriting my legacy!"

"You are..."

Seeing the white apparition suddenly appear before him, Lin Chang'sheng's heart skipped a beat. He retreated several steps.

This apparition was just too elusive—with his Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense, he actually hadn't sensed a thing!

"Young friend, there's no need to panic. I am the Master of the Void Palace, though only a lingering remnant soul barely hanging on. If not for worrying that my Void legacy would vanish, I'd have entered the cycle of reincarnation long ago!"

The vertical-eyed apparition looked at Lin Chang'sheng, his tone kind, murmuring softly.

"The Master of the Void Palace!"

Hearing the vertical-eyed apparition's words, Lin Chang'sheng's heart jolted, Divine Sense casting out defensively, his face wary and alert.

The Void Hall had existed for who knows how many years—it had already become the greatest source of opportunities in the Immortal Relic Land!

He hadn't expected to actually run into the master of the Void Hall!

This meant everything was under the control of this Void Hall Master!

"Little friend, I bear you no ill will, only wish to find a successor for my Taixu Immortal Sect. The Void Hall was opened just to search for someone with extraordinary talent!"

"So the Taixu Immortal Sect's legacy won't end with me!"

"Seeing your talent, you are just what I hoped for. Would you be willing to become my disciple—Situ Yunxiao's disciple?"

The vertical-eyed apparition, Situ Yunxiao, looked at Lin Chang'sheng, his voice gentle.

"Become your disciple? That..."

Lin Chang'sheng hesitated for a moment before asking.

He understood—

Right now, inside someone else's treasure, refusing definitely was not an option; best to let him finish talking before deciding.

"I'll bestow upon you a grand creation, inheritance. In the future, just help revive the Taixu Immortal Sect for me. Once I grant you the legacy, this remnant soul will vanish, and I can peacefully return to reincarnation, with no regrets left."

Situ Yunxiao looked at Lin Chang'sheng, his expression calm.

"A grand creation for me? There's no such thing as a free lunch, is there?"

Lin Chang'sheng pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists respectfully and replied, "Thank you, Senior, for your favor. But this disciple's talent is dull, and I already have a master. However, I'm willing to help you seek out a more talented youth to carry on the Taixu Immortal Sect's lineage!"

"Oh? You already have a master?"

Situ Yunxiao's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he mused, "No matter. A man can't have only one master in a lifetime. If you join my Taixu Immortal Sect, it won't conflict, right?"

"Senior, if I were to take you as my master as well, I'd feel guilty toward my current master. I hope Senior will understand!"

Lin Chang'sheng's eyes flashed as he clasped his fists.

"I didn't expect you to respect your master this much! Not bad, not bad!"

"Well then. This remnant soul of mine will soon dissipate and can't last much longer. I'll pass the inheritance to you, and you can cultivate it on your own. In the future, just help me find a worthy inheritor."

Regret flashed in Situ Yunxiao's eyes, then he continued, "I'll give you both the inheritance and the method to control the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Void Hall. Pass them on for me, I beg you."

"Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure! This is..."

Lin Chang'sheng looked at Situ Yunxiao, shock in his eyes.

He simply couldn't figure out why the Master of the Void Hall was so determined to take him as a disciple—and even if he refused, was still giving him the inheritance and the method to control a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure...

Still, Lin Chang'sheng always remembered: there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

If someone befriends you, it's because you have something they're interested in—something that benefits them!

"Back in the Immortal Realm, I was grievously wounded by a Celestial Tribulation, my Divine Soul carrying the Void Hall and drifting to this Immortal Relic Land, with no chance of returning again. Nine hundred years ago, there was a talented youth named Ling Wuji. Three hundred years ago, another named Jiang Yukun. But neither was the best inheritor!"

"Only you are the most suitable to carry on the legacy of Taixu Immortal Sect. Sadly... sigh... Little friend, you may continue your cultivation. When you find someone worthy, pass on my inheritance for me."

"With the realm sealed by a Grand Array, you can refine the Void Hall and open a passage to the Immortal Realm! Go to an even more splendid and vast Immortal Realm!"

Deep regret flickered in Situ Yunxiao's eyes as he murmured, and then, with a wave, a fist-sized rhombic crystal appeared, hovering in front of Lin Chang'sheng.

"This is..."

Lin Chang'sheng hesitated, unsure.

"Little friend, this old man's Divine Soul is already at its end—do me this favor and carry on my legacy! I'm entrusting this to you!"

Situ Yunxiao's vertical-eyed apparition suddenly burst apart and scattered, turning into countless specks of light that instantly vanished into heaven and earth, leaving only the crystal, which tumbled to the ground—

Glowing with a gentle, lustrous light!
