Chapter 615: Spirit Immortal's Abandoned Mansion

Chapter 615: Chapter 31: Spirit Immortal’s Abandoned Mansion

Fang Cheng stood beneath the ancient bell. The Spirit Immortal Head hung silently before him, continuously gushing Taishi Demon Qi, which was devoured by the Thunder Pool at his chest.

The Thunder Pool gradually began to undergo a strange transformation. Each of the Thunder Pools was madly expanding to accommodate more Primordial Heavenly Demon Qi.

Countless unpredictable runes appeared around the Thunder Pools, as if branded onto them. They were identical to the runes in the Primordial Celestial Demon Strategy.

The Nine Thunder Pools became increasingly deep and vast, like nine seas of Taishi Demon Qi, surging boundlessly.

This Taishi Demon Qi could be converted into Magical Power of any attribute in an instant, powering all sorts of Divine Techniques with unpredictable transformations.

This was the profound and wondrous mystery of a Spirit Immortal’s inheritance!

With a flicker, Fang Cheng appeared atop the ancient bell. He slapped it with his large hand, and the long, ancient toll of the bell instantly resounded through heaven and earth.

His surging Magical Power poured into the broken Magical Artifact as he began to refine the treasure.

「A short while later.」

With a flicker of his figure, Pan Lang appeared at the bottom of the giant crater.

He stood on one Compass, while another roamed and danced erratically through the void.

He looked at the ancient bell, an imperceptible glint of fervor flashing in his eyes. Then, he cupped his hands toward Fang Cheng and said, “I am Pan Lang, from the Moon Langtian Daxia Academy Palace. Might I ask for your esteemed name, friend?”

Fang Cheng glanced at the man and said coolly, “I am but a humble, solitary cultivator from the wilds, a nobody. My name is not worth mentioning. This treasure is already mine. Mr. Pan, I suggest you leave.”

Pan Lang let out a clear laugh, his eyes twinkling. He said slowly, “Friend, although you were the first to enter, you have not yet fully refined this treasure. How can you claim it as yours? I believe that we who came later should also have a chance to refine it. Otherwise, wouldn’t all our previous efforts have been for naught?”

Fang Cheng smiled freely and said in a gentle voice, “Friend, why don’t you come up and give it a try?”

A wary look appeared on Pan Lang’s face, and he did not reply.

At this moment, a layer of treasure light was gradually spreading down from the top of the great bell where Fang Cheng sat. Wherever it passed, the bell seemed to radiate with new life, and the inscriptions on it lit up one by one, bursting with a dazzling radiance.

But Fang Cheng’s refining speed was not fast. This was not because he was unwilling, but because a Divine Power Mark remained within the Magical Artifact. Although its master had vanished for over a hundred thousand years, the mark was still incredibly solid and powerful, making the refining process quite difficult for Fang Cheng.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged atop the broken great bell, Demonic Qi flaring from his body like flames. His imposing aura made Pan Lang, the Academy’s Ji Jiu, feel apprehensive and dare not step forward to fight for the treasure.

This person had passed through the thirty-three layers of the Treasure Light Divine Prohibition alone. His Cultivation and adaptability were self-evident. He was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding individuals in a generation, not someone who would rashly place himself in danger.

He waited for a short while, and by then, a third of the great bell had lit up, meaning Fang Cheng had already refined thirty percent of it.

Just then, a Cyan-Black Great Tomb passed through the Treasure Light Divine Prohibition and appeared at the bottom of the crater.

Besides Feng Yan, the closest to the bottom of the crater were the Two Elders of Youxuan. The pair was stopped on the seventh level of the Treasure Light Divine Prohibition, still battling numerous Golden Seal Jade Talismans.

Farther behind, others were scattered about, some on the fifteenth level of the void, others on the twentieth-something level.

Pan Lang sent a voice transmission toward the Cyan-Black Great Tomb. “Friend, I am Pan Lang of the Moon Langtian Daxia Academy Palace. I wish to discuss a matter with you.”

A cool and clear voice came from within the Great Tomb, asking, “What is it?”

Pan Lang had been paying attention to Feng Yan for some time. He knew her Cultivation had reached the Nine Tribulations, and her Divine Power Magical Artifact was no weaker than his own. She was the perfect ally for this moment.

Otherwise, if the three of them fought chaotically, it would only delay things. In the end, no one would be able to refine the great bell in peace, and they would instead attract even more powerful masters from the Beiming Immortal Race or the Dongyang Immortal Alliance. At that point, all their efforts would have been for someone else’s benefit.

His voice was calm and steady as he continued the transmission, “Friend, if the two of us were to fight for the treasure now, we would only end up in a three-way chaotic battle. It would be a complete waste of time and squander the advantage we worked so hard to gain. I’ve heard that many top masters from the Beiming Immortal Race and the Dongyang Immortal Alliance are currently in these Lingkong Celestial Ruins. If we wait for those individuals to arrive, this treasure will be completely out of our reach.”

From within the Cyan-Black Great Tomb, the woman’s pleasant and clear voice asked, “What brilliant plan do you have in mind?”

Pan Lang smiled faintly and said, “Two major events are currently happening in the Lingkong Celestial Ruins. First, a Taixu Token has appeared, and the Beiming Immortal Race has its eyes on it, vowing to seize it. Second, a Spirit Immortal’s Abandoned Mansion is about to emerge. It was discovered by a Spirit Immortal Incarnation from our Dongyang Immortal Alliance, who is now preparing to lead the Tribulation Realm masters from two of the Immortal Alliance’s subordinate World Heavens to explore it.”

He paused, then continued, “If you help me seize this Treasure Bell, I can promise to take you to explore that Spirit Immortal’s Abandoned Mansion. I will also do everything in my power to help you obtain the Spirit Immortal’s inheritance or cultivation insights. For you, I imagine the most important goal is to ascend to the Spiritual Sky Realm, not to fight people over treasures, correct?”

A light chuckle came from the Cyan-Black Great Tomb. “You have a silver tongue, friend, but your words are empty promises. How can I trust you?”

Pan Lang said unhurriedly, “I can form a Magic Contract with you and also make a Dao Oath.”

“A Magic Contract won’t be necessary. Just make a Dao Oath.”

Pan Lang’s expression shifted slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he did indeed make a Dao Oath in front of the Cyan-Black Great Tomb, promising to help his ally obtain the Spirit Immortal’s cultivation insights and Inheritance Technique.

The woman in the Great Tomb also made a Dao Oath, stating that she “would absolutely not lay a finger on the ancient bell before them, and so forth.”

Pan Lang felt slightly reassured. As long as this woman joined forces with him, it would be better for the ancient bell to fall into either of their hands than into the hands of that Spiritual Mechanic Cultivator.
