#415

The owner of the museum, Emperor Sanweng

"Hurry up and consume this 【eternal legacy】, then use Huan Zhen to run away!"

"To be placed in the center of the Museum of Divine Treasures, this skull must be extremely extraordinary. Quickly consume its legacy; you will definitely be able to uncover the secrets hidden within!"

"Do it quickly!"

"Take it and leave, no one will be able to stop you!"

…

Amidst the increasingly loud urging sounds of 【Huan Zhen】, one thought after another emerged one after another.

They whispered continuously in his ears, bewitching Li Fan.

For a moment, Li Fan was truly tempted and nearly took action.

However, in the end, with immense willpower, he forcibly suppressed this impulse.

He recalled the scene when he absorbed the 【eternal legacy】 of Immortal Master Celestial Sun.

First, he felt the surrounding space become somewhat illusory.

Subsequently, the skeleton of Celestial Sun was decomposed into crystalline white light and gradually absorbed by him.

His mind shook violently, and he lost consciousness.

After seemingly experiencing the long life of Celestial Sun firsthand, the notification from 【Huan Zhen】 finally arrived.

Only then was the eternal legacy fully absorbed.

Based on past experiences, Li Fan quickly made a judgment.

Absorbing the eternal legacy would cause quite a commotion. Not only would it cause the object hosting the legacy to disappear, but the white light representing the 【eternal legacy】 would also precisely mark Li Fan as the culprit.

The absorption of the eternal legacy is not completed in an instant.

Instead, it requires a certain amount of time. Furthermore, during this process, one might briefly lose consciousness due to the impact of the legacy owner's residual imprint.

After realizing these points, Li Fan quickly made his decision.

The 【eternal legacy】 in this skull cannot be absorbed!

If he were to disregard everything and forcefully absorb it, it would be no different from seeking his own death!

Don't be fooled by the empty surroundings of the skull, which look completely unguarded.

But what kind of place is this?

Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters.

The 【Museum of Divine Treasures】, which houses countless treasures.

The core area of the Museum of Divine Treasures.

Could there be no hidden protective measures here?

That would be absolute absurdity.

Li Fan was certain that if he were blinded by greed and foolishly forced the absorption of the 【eternal legacy】.

The next instant, he would be met with countless traps and Restrictions, only to be captured and studied.

Perhaps, there is indeed a sliver of a possibility that this skull has no protection at all.

But…

Li Fan would not gamble.

Because once he failed, it would mean total destruction.

And as for this thing called the eternal legacy, according to the previous prompts from 【Huan Zhen】.

Every time he started over, once Li Fan found the carrier of the 【eternal legacy】 again, he could absorb it and use it repeatedly.

Its essence is no different from the hua dao stone in Yi Yin's tomb; they are both items that can be repeatedly obtained.

What completely cut off Li Fan's thoughts of absorption was that the 【eternal legacy】 could not be used as a Huan Zhen-bound item.

After Huan Zhen, it could not be brought back.

Taking such high risks was destined to be a futile effort.

…

Having sorted out the known information, under rational consideration, Li Fan should have completely abandoned the idea of absorbing the 【eternal legacy】 here.

However, its attraction to Huan Zhen was so intense.

The High Wall built by reason was simply fragile.

The Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Grinding Wheel spun crazily, and Li Fan desperately suppressed the continuously surging desires.

Thus, he requested the guide, Bingyin, to take him to rest, away from this skull.

Bingyin nodded in understanding and even kindly supported Li Fan.

To hide his abnormality and also to distract himself.

Li Fan took the initiative to start a conversation: "Senior Bingyin, I just heard you say that the skull was placed in the center at the specific instruction of the Museum Curator?"

"Yes, it is very strange. There are millions of treasures in the museum, and I don't know why the Curator favors it so much." Bingyin replied.

"It seems that perhaps this Curator can also perceive the legacy contained within it." Li Fan pondered to himself.

But he casually asked: "I wonder which Senior within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance the Curator is? It seems I have never heard of him."

Bingyin smiled: "It is normal that you don't know. The Curator leads a secluded life and has always kept a low profile. Even for us guides, it is not easy to see him."

"However, if we are talking about seniority, in the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I am afraid there are not many who would dare to say they are above the Curator."

Bingyin said with some pride.

"Oh?" Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

Bingyin lowered his voice a few degrees: "The Curator has existed in the world since the distant Primordial Era. That was in the far past before the Human Race had flourished."

"Almost everything in the world cannot escape his Dharma Eye. He can be called omniscient and all-knowing."

Bingyin's admiration was evident.

Li Fan, however, felt the other person's rhetoric was a bit familiar.

"He is a symbol of longevity and wisdom. We respectfully call him 【Emperor San Xianweng】." Bingyin said slowly.

Li Fan's expression was slightly strange, and he thought to himself: "Emperor San… Mo?"

Bingyin did not notice Li Fan's change and continued to talk endlessly to Li Fan about how knowledgeable and wise this old curator was.

After the two arrived at the lounge, he still seemed unsatisfied.

However, seeing Li Fan's poor physical condition, he sensibly stopped.

"Please rest assured and rest here."

"The Museum of Divine Treasures is too vast; you won't be able to finish visiting it in a short while."

"This is a resting place specially built for visitors, so you don't have to worry about others disturbing you."

After Bingyin gave instructions and saw Li Fan gradually recovering, he left the control jade tablet and departed with peace of mind.

Li Fan manipulated the jade tablet, activated the Restriction, and completely sealed the lounge.

Deep inside the secret chamber, the eerie skull also disappeared from his perception range, and his trembling body finally calmed down slowly.

As if after a great battle, Li Fan only felt physical exhaustion.

His already aging body was now in an even worse state.

"eternal legacy…"

Li Fan, having calmed down, pondered the reason for 【Huan Zhen】's abnormality.

The reason why people feel hunger is that humans need to eat to replenish the energy necessary for survival.

And yet, Huan Zhen could actually develop a desire to eat.

Then it can only mean that something useful for 【Huan Zhen】 can be obtained from the 【eternal legacy】.

Let alone this skull in the Museum of Divine Treasures.

What could the legacy of Immortal Master Celestial Sun have that 【Huan Zhen】 needs?

"Special: eternal legacy (Celestial Sun) (Remaining uses: 1)"

Li Fan looked at the information on the Huan Zhen panel and made a decision in his heart.

He took out Materials from his storage ring and set up the ritual required to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm to create a diversion.

Li Fan immediately consumed the last usage of the eternal legacy and activated the simulation function of 【Huan Zhen】.

After a bout of dizziness.

"Celestial Sun, it's time to take your medicine…"

The voice of Master Guangyang Zi rang in Li Fan's ears.
