Chapter 397: Legacy of the Resurrection Immortal

"Hmm?!"

After a wave of dizziness, Xiao Heng looked at his surroundings and was shocked.

The White Bone Vanguard Realm was in shambles, with traces of battle everywhere.

The originally majestic and magnificent scenery was now dilapidated and broken.

"Skull Senior…"

Xiao Heng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly rushed to where Skull Senior slept.

However, the closer he got, the more obvious the battle marks became.

The smooth, polished white bones were now pitted and scarred everywhere.

A sense of foreboding grew stronger, and when Xiao Heng arrived, he could not help but be completely stunned.

It was as if a violent explosion had occurred; Skull Senior was nowhere to be found.

Only a pitch-black crater remained, telling the tale of the fierce battle that seemed to have happened here not long ago.

"What on earth happened?"

Xiao Heng's expression turned ugly.

"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance chased after us?"

Recalling the instructions Skull Senior gave him before falling asleep, Xiao Heng thought subconsciously.

Having spent over a decade in Shi Lin Province, Xiao Heng was no longer the ignorant youth who knew nothing about the Cultivation World.

Precisely because of this, his heart felt increasingly cold.

When he was in the Qi Refining stage, he dared to utter the bold words, "Destroy the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, restore the glory of the Resurrection Immortal; it is the duty of our generation."

But now that he was in the Golden Core Realm, he dared not spout such nonsense anymore.

"Senior instructed that if he could not be contacted, it meant this place had been exposed. For safety's sake, I must destroy the hand bone as soon as possible and cut off all ties with this place." Although he felt some reluctance, Xiao Heng was not a hesitant person.

Before leaving, he searched the Secret Realm one last time.

Xiao Heng unexpectedly discovered that the white bone altar in the Secret Realm did not seem to have been completely destroyed.

There were still faint, familiar fluctuations emanating from it.

Xiao Heng's heart stirred, and he began to call out in the same way he had prayed before.

"Skull Senior!"

A moment later, Skull Senior's figure truly appeared above the ruins of the altar.

Xiao Heng was incredibly excited, but in an instant, he calmed down.

Because what was in front of him was just a phantom.

"Xiao lad, there is no time to bid you a final farewell."

"I did not expect that after hiding here for so long, they still had no intention of letting me go."

"If you can see this image, it means I have already met with misfortune."

Even though he was mentally prepared, hearing Skull Senior say this himself made Xiao Heng's eyes turn red.

"…Although I led them away to avoid your exposure."

"But this place is no longer safe."

"After you return, cut off the connection with this place and never come back."

…

"I have left four little medicine king cauldrons for you in the altar."

"They are keys to entering the Medicine King True Cauldron."

"Thousands of years ago, Medicine King Sect Sect Master Liu Ruchen led all the members of the Medicine King Sect to break through the world and leave. But more than ten years ago, I sensed that they had returned to the Xuanhuang World. It was that meteor that lit up the sky and eventually fell into the Cangwu Abyss."

"If my guess is correct, something must have happened to the Medicine King Sect."

"However, I have a vague feeling that there is a great Opportunity within the Medicine King True Cauldron."

"If you have the chance, you can go and investigate."

"Remember, there should be other little medicine king cauldrons scattered outside. Perhaps others can use secret techniques to sense each other's positions through the little medicine king cauldrons."

"You must be careful of your own safety. If it is truly impossible, selling the little medicine king cauldron for a good price is also a good method."

"By the way, I also saved some supplies I scavenged back then in the little medicine king cauldron. Remember to take them out."

"Consider it my final gift."

…

"Remember, endure, lie low…"

"Legacy!"

After Skull Senior's earnest words finished, the image completely disappeared.

And four ancient little cauldrons appeared before Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng suppressed his inner grief and put away the little medicine king cauldrons.

Then, with a determined look, he left the Vanguard Realm.

"Xiao Heng, what's wrong?" Su Xiaomei and the others noticed Xiao Heng's red eyes and their expressions changed.

In front of everyone, he destroyed the small hand bone that served as the entry token.

Afterward, he brought the [Resurrection Immortal] members to the secret room of the stronghold and demanded they do the same.

After the connection with the White Bone Vanguard Realm was completely severed, Xiao Heng finally explained everything.

"Skull Senior has fallen?!"

Although everyone was surprised, they were not as grief-stricken as Xiao Heng.

After all, only Xiao Heng had had contact with Skull Senior.

However, their smooth path into cultivation was inseparable from Skull Senior's care.

The people from the Li Realm were not ungrateful people.

So, they all felt a bit sad at this moment.

But that was it.

"What do we do now?"

After the silence, a question was placed before everyone.

Should they continue to maintain the identity of the Resurrection Immortal organization and resist the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?

Or…

After all, an arm cannot twist a thigh.

With their highest cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm, trying to overthrow the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance—which had the existence of the Eternal Celestial Venerable and had dominated half of the Xuanhuang World for thousands of years—was truly laughable.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is no good thing," Su Xiaomei expressed her opinion first.

"Once you join the Immortal Alliance, you are a beast of burden for life. This Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not something one should join," Zhang Haobo echoed.

Su Changyu closed his eyes and said indifferently, "I support Xiaomei."

Xiao Heng looked at the decision made by his companions and couldn't help but feel moved.

He knew full well how disparate the strength was between [Resurrection Immortal] and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Originally, he had only intended to shoulder the mission of [Resurrection Immortal] alone.

But fortunately, everyone did not let him down.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a timid voice say, "The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is no good thing!"

Xiao Heng was momentarily dumbfounded.

Following the sound, he saw a green youth scratching the back of his head with a blushing face.

Xiao Heng smiled and praised, "Wu You, great courage!"

The youth's face became even hotter.

This youth was Han Wuyou, the descendant of the two Mortals from the Li Realm who had fled with Xiao Heng from the Congyun Sea.

His parents had passed away from illness years ago, and he had been raised by Xiao Heng, Su Changyu, and others.

Han Wuyou had decent Aptitude for cultivation and had embarked on the path of cultivation under Xiao Heng's guidance.

At his teenage age, he was already at the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

After praising Han Wuyou, Xiao Heng turned his head back.

"I already know everyone's intentions. However, there is one undeniable point: the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is simply too powerful. With our current strength, trying to clash with it head-on is no different from throwing an egg against a rock."

"Senior was right before he fell; our main task is to endure and pass on the Legacy."

Xiao Heng's expression was resolute, and his gaze was firm.

"Long-divided states must unite, and long-united states must divide; 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 prosperous, it has also been passed down for thousands of years."

"As long as we pass down the philosophy of [Resurrection Immortal] generation after generation, we wait for the right timing."

"There will eventually come a moment when the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance encounters a great upheaval and collapses."

"At that time, our Opportunity will come."

Xiao Heng said slowly.

Su Xiaomei laughed it off, unconcerned.

Others just nodded symbolically.

Only Han Wuyou's eyes were wide open, filled with the light of hope.

"Xiao Heng, didn't you say Skull Senior left you four little cauldrons?"

"Take them out quickly and let me see what kind of treasure they are."

Just as the atmosphere fell into a lull, Su Xiaomei came out to break the ice.

Hearing this, Xiao Heng let out a long sigh while taking out the four little medicine king cauldrons and placing them in front of everyone.

Su Xiaomei took one and observed it carefully.

"Just this? It's broken and ragged; it doesn't look like a good thing at all."

"Eh, it seems there is a whole new world inside."

A moment later, Su Xiaomei began to shout.

"Wow! So many Spirit Stones! We're rich!"

"And so many herbs!"

"Haha, this is good stuff!"

Su Xiaomei threw the little medicine king cauldron aside and happily put a silver necklace around her neck.

Then she showed the several identical ones in her hand to everyone.

"Come, come, everyone has a share."

Seeing this, Zhang Haobo's eyes also lit up.

"Is this a necklace engraved with a teleportation array?"

Su Xiaomei nodded repeatedly: "It's just this thing. When we were at the Chao Yuan Sect, we escaped death several times, all thanks to it."

The moment Su Xiaomei and the others wore the silver necklaces.

Far away in Lanlin Prefecture, a light that was difficult for others to notice flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

"With the help of the modified array, I can finally sense the scene again."

He secretly thought in his heart.

Under the surveillance of the Formless Killing Intent, the scene of the Li Realm people gathering and discussing suddenly appeared before Li Fan's eyes.

…

"Xiao Heng, what do you think about the Opportunity of the Medicine King True Cauldron that Skull Senior mentioned?"

Su Changyu took back the little cauldron that Su Xiaomei had thrown on the ground, arranged it neatly, and asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Heng was hesitant for a moment upon hearing this.

Su Xiaomei, however, loved to watch the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

"Does this even need to be thought about? How can there be a reason to give up an Opportunity right in front of us?"

"If it weren't for the serendipity at the Chao Yuan Sect, Haobo and I would still be in the Golden Core Realm!"

Zhang Haobo narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Heng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Skull Senior accurately predicted the upheaval in the Congyun Sea before he died."

"I suppose the Opportunity of the Medicine King Cauldron in the Cangwu Abyss must be true."

"But…"

Not knowing what he thought of, Xiao Heng became hesitant again.

Seeing this, Su Xiaomei was immediately furious: "Xiao Heng, you aren't going to back down again, are you?"

"Last time, when Haobo and I wanted to go to the Chao Yuan Sect, you didn't agree."

"If you do this again, I'll really be angry!"

"Xiaomei, I…" Xiao Heng smiled bitterly, just about to explain.

But he heard Su Changyu say indifferently: "If what Senior said is correct, this little medicine king cauldron is the key to entering the Medicine King True Cauldron."

"For the four of us, it would be best to go together."

Su Xiaomei nodded repeatedly.

Su Changyu changed the subject: "But… it is impossible for all of us to mobilize."

"Wu You is still young and needs someone to take care of him."

"Zhao Erbao and the Yin sisters are out looking for treasures and will send back useful things from time to time."

"These all need someone to look after."
