Chapter 158: Chapter 137: The Life Talisman Is the Foundation of the Great Dao

Yinluo Sect Marketplace, in the rear courtyard of Xuanzhen Studio.

Inside the West Wing Room, clouds and mist suddenly materialized, filling the entire space.

Three figures slowly walked out from the mist.

The mist instantly dissipated, vanishing completely in the blink of an eye.

Feng Ling had intended to leave immediately, but Fang Cheng insisted she stay. She ended up remaining in the small courtyard for several more days to help Wen Qianqian refine the Divine Temple.

With Fang Cheng’s dashing and carefree nature, he naturally couldn’t sit still. He soon had the Array Spirit Maiden’s eyes wide with constant astonishment.

Meanwhile, Wen Qianqian and Feng Ling gradually grew closer, beginning to call each other sisters.

Previously, Feng Ling’s noble status and cold, proud personality meant she naturally looked down on Wen Qianqian. But now that Wen Qianqian had obtained the legacy of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect, she was on a completely different level.

Wen Qianqian was gentle and graceful, while Feng Ling was cold, proud, and stunningly beautiful. Yet they shared one common trait: during Dual Cultivation, they were both extremely shy. Their charmingly coy expressions, resisting yet yielding, seemed as if cast from the same mold.

Therefore, when the three of them had their fun, it was far less adventurous than when Ye Yan was present.

While Wen Qianqian was inside the Water Cloud Bead refining the Divine Temple, Fang Cheng took stock of his recent gains.

Excluding the Immortal Binding Rope, he had acquired two Second-Order Magical Artifacts on this trip: Yang Zhe’s Tier Two Flying Sword and Qiao Kui’s Fire Crow Gourd.

He had accumulated over 400,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, which converted to forty Upper-Grade Spirit Stones.

In addition, there was a dazzling array of Talismans and pills, which he would need to find an opportunity to exchange for Tier Two Talismans and pills in the future.

He had killed too many enemies this time to count them all, but the main contributors to his wealth were the three prodigies of Flame God Palace, Jiang Nian’an, and their ilk.

These Dao Seeds, who had originally shouldered great responsibilities, had all perished in the ruined tower. He could only imagine how many people would be shocked and enraged by the news.

Then there was the Celestial Dew.

With the appearance of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect’s ruins, Fang Cheng was likely the biggest winner aside from Wen Qianqian!

One drop of Holy-Grade Celestial Dew.

Five bottles of Top-Grade Celestial Dew.

Twelve bottles of Upper-Grade Celestial Dew.

Nine bottles of Middle-Grade Celestial Dew.

One bottle of Lower-Grade Celestial Dew.

There were also numerous inheritances for first and second-tier Talismans, Qi Refining, and Arrays.

It could be said that with his current wealth and resources, Fang Cheng had enough to support a top-tier Cultivation Family comparable to the Ye Family.

Once he advanced to the Life Talisman Realm, all he needed to do was take many wives and concubines to expand his lineage. In less than five hundred years, the Abyssal Marsh would surely have another one of the Noble Families and Giants.

「On this day.」

Wen Qianqian finally succeeded in refining the Divine Temple. She could now change its size at will, so she brought it out of the Water Cloud Bead.

She shrank the Divine Temple to about a foot in size and placed it on the desk.

With a single thought, she could send herself or others inside it.

Inside the Divine Temple was a Spirit Capturing Array set up by the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect. After accumulating energy for so many years, the Spirit Realm within was as dense as a Tier Two Spiritual Vein!

Wen Qianqian could now practice in the Divine Temple on a daily basis to advance her cultivation. Her resources were in no way inferior to those of proud scions from cultivation families like Feng Ling and Wang Yuntian.

The Array Spirit Maiden also began to teach her the true cultivation Heart Method of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect. The Mystic Sect Technique was balanced and peaceful. Cultivating it relied on steady, persistent effort, but its advantage was that it was virtually risk-free, making it very suitable for Wen Qianqian.

Coupled with that drop of Holy-Grade Celestial Dew, it was practically guaranteed that Wen Qianqian would break through to the Life Soul Realm in the future.

In other words, the lowest limit of her lifetime cultivation would be the ceiling that countless Cultivators could never hope to reach in their entire lives.

...

As the sun began to set, Fang Cheng and Feng Ling bid farewell to Wen Qianqian. They strolled out of the Yinluo Sect Marketplace and arrived at the shore of Daze Lake.

Beyond the island, the sky was high and clear, a vast expanse of azure.

The vibrant colors of the sunset gradually faded. In the distance, water met the sky in a vast expanse, the sound of the immense waves filling their ears, the view stretching to infinity.

A dusky mist descended as twilight enveloped the surroundings.

The time had come for the two to part ways.

Fang Cheng took out two bottles of Top-Grade Celestial Dew and handed them to Feng Ling. "Go back and enter seclusion," he said. "I’ll be waiting for news of you forging your Life Talisman."

Feng Ling accepted the Celestial Dew and nodded. "The Feng Family will certainly grow stronger under my leadership."

With her talent and aptitude, assisted by the Top-Grade Celestial Dew, her chances of successfully breaking through to the Life Soul Realm after reforging her Dao Foundation would increase to seventy percent!

Fang Cheng smiled. "I look forward to the appearance of the Feng Family’s first Life Soul Cultivator."

A glint shone in Feng Ling’s beautiful eyes. She suppressed her soaring ambition and said softly, "The Feng Family, the Ye Family, and Wen Qianqian—these three forces can help you take over the Yinluo Sect. I, too, look forward to you becoming the Supreme Demon Monarch who dominates an entire generation in the Yun Country."

"Let’s both strive for it," Fang Cheng said, patting Feng Ling’s shoulder before gracefully flying off toward Xiaocang Island.

Feng Ling gave a captivating smile and also transformed into a streak of fiery light, flying toward Flame Demon Island.

...

Xiaocang Island, Cangwu Mountain, Cyan Demon Cliff.

Night fell. The lamps in the Jade Tower were all lit, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

On the roof of the Jade Tower, the hems of Ye Yan and Die’Er’s skirts fluttered as they playfully teased two Little Immortal Cranes. They were often amused by the young cranes’ antics, letting out laughter like silver bells.

Unlike Feng Ling and Wen Qianqian, Ye Yan was born carefree. With no idle matters troubling her heart, she lived each day with joy and ease.

"My Lady, the Master is back!"

Die’Er had sharp eyes and spotted an Escape Light easily passing through Xiaocang Island’s Island Defense Array and flying toward them. She exclaimed with delight.

Ye Yan put down the Immortal Crane and turned to look. A brilliant light instantly filled her beautiful eyes as she hurriedly shot into the air to greet Fang Cheng.

The husband and wife embraced in mid-air, holding each other tightly as they began to kiss passionately.

Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.

A long time had passed since they had returned to the Abyssal Marsh, from Fang Cheng’s participation in the Inner Sect trials to his trip to Netherworld Valley in search of Celestial Dew.

The couple first enjoyed a wonderful, long soak in the bath. Afterward, Die’Er prepared a sumptuous Spiritual Cuisine, and they drank Spirit Wine, celebrating until dawn.

Fang Cheng gave a general account of his experiences in the ruined tower, which left the two women tense with worry.
