Chapter 244: 226: Tianyang Appears in the World
All along the way, they chatted and shared ancient secrets in high spirits.
Li Fan just smiled and listened, without participating much.
During the journey, they occasionally met cultivators from other provinces.
Whilst exchanging what they’d seen and heard, Li Fan accidentally learned that rumors about the prophecy of the return of the Medicine King Cauldron of the Medicine King Sect had begun to circulate around the regions.
However, people only regarded it as a joke rather than a serious matter.
It appeared that Jiao Xiuyuan had already begun to exert his influence and plan strategically, though it would take a while before it could genuinely affect public opinion.
Time flew by.
After spending another half year journeying, the group finally returned to the Misthaven Ocean.
By now, 13 years had passed since they first embarked on their quest.
Most of them had exchanged contact information and after bidding each other farewell, each of them retreated to rest.
Leaving a clone inside the Tianxuan Mirror, he initiated a ritual to enter the Vanguard Realm of Bones.
On a deserted island.
At that moment, Xiao Heng, who was in the final stage of energy refining, suddenly stirred from his focused meditation.
He activated the necklace on his chest, and his spirit consciousness was instantly transported into the Vanguard Realm of Bones.
“Senior, you’re awake?” he asked with a surprised look seeing the skeleton seemingly a bit more spirited.
“Cough, I’ve only recovered a bit, barely escaping my fate of complete obliteration. I’ve awakened this time to entrust a task to you. After that, I will have to continue my healing through deep slumber,” the skeleton spoke with a weak voice.
“While I was in my slumber, it seems like I sensed the presence of another young talent within your vicinity…”
Xiao Heng quickly replied, “He’s Ye Feipeng, a comrade who left our hometown with me. His cultivation speed is also remarkable, and he’s quite reliable.”
The skeleton pondered for a moment, seemingly sensing something, “Hm, this chubby boy indeed has as much talent as you.”
“However, he does not seem to be the person I sensed during my slumber.”
Xiao Heng was startled, but hastily responded, “Could it be my little sister? Although she’s still very small, she’s already capable of running and jumping with immense strength.”
“Hiss… This young girl, she’s terrifyingly talented. But why hasn’t she started her cultivation yet? Such prodigy, why haven’t you assimilated her into our [Immortal Revival]? Young Xiao, how can you be so lax?”
“Like this, how can I entrust the foundation of [Immortal Revival] to you?” the skeleton reproached in a low voice.
“Ah?” Xiao Heng’s face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly explained, “Senior, don’t misunderstand, I just thought since my sister was still young, there’s no rush for her to start cultivating…”
The skeleton interrupted him, “An exceptional talent should not be measured by ordinary standards. By doing this, you’re actually holding her back.”
“Hmm, you’re still too young after all. It seems it was somewhat improper for me to hastily entrust all responsibilities to you,” the skeleton muttered to itself.
“Senior…” Xiao Heng was at a loss for words, not knowing what to do.
After a while, the skeleton seemed to have made up its mind.
“As the saying goes, it’s hard to be strong on your own. Indeed, the burden might be too heavy for you to bear alone.”
“In that case, let me give you a helping hand.”
As it spoke, the skeleton rose to the sky where it emitted a ghostly glow from its hollow eyes.
Within the glow, numerous scenes flickered rapidly.
Xiao Heng faintly saw different landscapes of various islands.
After a moment, the flickering scenes suddenly stopped.
The skeleton dropped to the ground, appearing as if it had exhausted all of its energy.
Xiao Heng rushed forward but was halted before he could reach the skeleton.
The beam emitted by the skeleton hit him, and the information about several people emerged in Xiao Heng’s spirit consciousness.
“Liuli Island, Zhang Haobo…” “Moonlit Island, Yin Yueting, Yin Yuzhen…” “Senior, what is this?”
Xiao Heng was somewhat confused.
“These are the Sons of Destiny that I’ve found within the borders of the Misthaven Ocean using my secret technique.”
“These few people either have exceptional talent for cultivation or have abilities that are unique.”
“They will be of great help in revitalizing [Immortal Revival].”
“It’s a pity that my injury is too severe and my secret technique was interrupted. I could only find these few…” the skeleton sighed.
“Kid, my strength is depleted again. The rest of the journey is up to you.”
“Remember, the priority is to improve your strength. The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is too powerful, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would find it hard to make waves.”
“So, your first priority is cultivation.”
“When it comes to these new inductees, don’t reveal the details of [Immortal Revival] to them directly.”
“Just tell them it’s an organization of rogue cultivators so as not to frighten them.’
“As for how to do it, it’s up to you to decide…”
The skeleton’s voice gradually faded and eventually vanished into darkness.
“Senior…”
Seeing this, Xiao Heng clenched his fists tightly.
After a long time, his gaze gradually became resolute again.
Upon awakening from the Vanguard Realm, Xiao Heng was about to find Ye Feipeng to discuss the matter of seeking out the Sons of Destiny.
However, he didn’t expect that Ye Feipeng would come and find him first.
Being secretive and mysterious, Ye Feipeng led Xiao Heng to a secluded locale before finally revealing his intentions.
“Tianyang Cave Mansion? A few Foundation Establishment cultivators went exploring there under the leadership of a Golden Core cultivator, only to suffer heavy losses and casualties, with only the Golden Core cultivator managing to escape?” Xiao Heng asked with a puzzled look.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Ye Feipeng stated solemnly, “The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is preparing for the second expedition. This time, the exploration team is estimated to be led by a Nascent Soul with numerous Golden Core cultivators..”
