28: Pretend to be dead

Chapter 28: Reanimation

Xiao Lingchen didn't hesitate, heading straight in the direction the qiankun mirror pointed.

Before long, he arrived in a secret chamber.

The secret chamber was empty, very clean, with almost nothing inside.

If it weren't for the guidance of the qiankun mirror, Xiao Lingchen would likely have just glanced and left.

But since the qiankun mirror was guiding him, there must be a supreme treasure hidden within!

As expected!

The moment Xiao Lingchen stepped into the secret chamber, the qiankun mirror suddenly shone brightly.

Following that, the entire secret chamber rumbled!

A crystal coffin suddenly rose from the ground, standing before Xiao Lingchen.

Inside the crystal coffin, lay a beautifully melancholic Immortal Maiden, dressed in a white gown, with skin as fair as snow, exquisite like a jade sculpture.

Beneath her closed eyes, there seemed to be a hint of faint sadness.

"Could this Immortal Maiden be the Sect Leader of this ancient Sect?"

Xiao Lingchen pondered.

The Immortal Maiden in the coffin had been dead for an unknown amount of time, yet her body remained incorrupt, and one could even feel a faint pressure emanating from her body.

Other than the Sect Leader of the ancient Sect who once possessed the creation cauldron and cultivated an immortal body, there was no one else.

The qiankun mirror was still emitting light, and this light was becoming increasingly dazzling.

Shining on the Immortal Maiden, she slowly opened her hazy eyes, like a young girl awakened by the morning sun.

Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful, like a clear spring, transparent to the bottom, yet seemingly containing endless mystery and depth, making one unable to help but become intoxicated.

Xiao Lingchen quickly snapped out of it, startled.

"Damn, why did she open her eyes?"

"Is she going to reanimate?"

As expected.

The next moment.

The coffin suddenly opened.

The Immortal Maiden slowly walked out.

After all, she had been there for tens of millions of years. Although her body was perfectly preserved, her clothes instantly turned into a pile of dust, scattering on the ground.

"Who are you? What year is it now?"

She didn't shy away from her current state at all, asking the young man before her in a faint voice.

"Junior Xiao Lingchen, it is now Heavenly Mystery 2337."

Xiao Lingchen was vigilant, but still answered truthfully.

A look of confusion appeared on the Immortal Maiden's face:

"Heavenly Mystery 2337... What about the Glazed Dynasty?"

Xiao Lingchen thought for a moment, then replied:

"Senior, the Glazed Dynasty was destroyed forty-six million years ago."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Maiden was struck as if by lightning, then showed a look of melancholy.

"Forty-six million years... Has it really been that long?"

"My old friends should all be gone, right?"

This time.

It was Xiao Lingchen's turn to be confused:

"Senior, are you the Sect Leader of this ancient Sect?"

"Ancient Sect?"

The Immortal Maiden gave a bitter smile, then replied:

"From the perspective of this era, my Sect can indeed be considered an ancient Sect."

"That's right, I am the Sect Leader of the ancient Sect you speak of, Shangqing Xuanzong, Moon Lianyi."

Xiao Lingchen continued to ask:

"But... how are you still alive? I heard that you were killed by your enemy tens of millions of years ago, and even your soul was completely wiped out. How are you now..."

Moon Lianyi replied:

"I am indeed dead, and my soul is also gone. What remains of me now is just a wisp of residual spiritual consciousness controlling my body."

"When my Sect was slaughtered and my soul was destroyed, at the brink of death, I sacrificed all my cultivation to leave behind this wisp of residual consciousness, just to wait for a fated person to inherit my life's Legacy."

"Now it seems, you are that fated person."

Moon Lianyi looked at Xiao Lingchen and asked seriously:

"Are you willing to inherit my Legacy?"

Xiao Lingchen was overjoyed:

"Junior is naturally willing."

The Legacy of an ancient mighty figure is a great Opportunity that countless people can only dream of.

Wasn't this exactly why he entered this Mystic Realm this time?

Xiao Lingchen's willingness made the Immortal Maiden extremely happy.

She continued:

"It's just that I only have a wisp of residual consciousness left, so the normal method of inheritance might not be possible."

"But I still have a special method of inheritance, I wonder if you can accept it."

Xiao Lingchen said:

"What method is it?"

Moon Lianyi didn't explain, she just waved her jade hand and directly removed all of Xiao Lingchen's clothes.

Then she pushed him onto the bed in the secret chamber.

Xiao Lingchen was startled:

"Senior, what are you going to do?"

.........

In a flash.

Three months passed.

Xiao Lingchen received all of Moon Lianyi's Legacy!

Now.

Xiao Lingchen's cultivation Realm had inexplicably broken through to the late Dao Palace Realm.

And in his mind, there were countless more inherited memories.

Once he fully digested these inherited memories, his knowledge and methods would undergo a qualitative leap!

Suddenly, a pair of slender arms wrapped around Xiao Lingchen's waist.

Xiao Lingchen smiled lightly, his gaze falling on the beautiful Moon Lianyi behind him, who was blooming like a flower bud, and he asked with a smile:

"What's wrong?"

Three months of getting along had rapidly heated up the relationship between Xiao Lingchen and Moon Lianyi.

Moon Lianyi lowered her eyes:

"Now you have received all of Lianyi's Legacy, and before long, this last wisp of Lianyi's residual consciousness will also dissipate."

Xiao Lingchen gently held her hand and said:

"I will always remember you."

Moon Lianyi was touched, her cheeks slightly flushed:

"In that case, Lianyi has no regrets in this life."

"However, Lianyi has one last request, which I hope you can grant."

Xiao Lingchen said:

"Tell me."

Moon Lianyi said:

"Although I have been dead for tens of millions of years, I can faintly sense that there is still a trace of my Moon Clan's Bloodline in this era."

"Tens of millions of years have passed, and I don't know how my descendants are doing."

"In the future, if you happen to meet them, if they are doing well, that's good. If they are not doing well, or encounter any difficulties."

"I hope you can lend a hand within your ability."

Xiao Lingchen gently stroked her head:

"Okay, I promise you."

Thus, Moon Lianyi's heart was no longer burdened.

So she shyly kissed Xiao Lingchen's lips once again.

Spending this last moment with him.

Three days later.

Moon Lianyi's body gradually dissipated.

Her gaze lingered on Xiao Lingchen with reluctance:

"I am very fortunate to have met you today, tens of millions of years later."

"My entire life was spent in boring cultivation. Thank you for letting me spend the last, and most beautiful, time of my life."

"I think I will never forget you."

"If there is a next life, even if I traverse a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, I am willing to find you and marry you."

"Goodbye..."

Finally, Moon Lianyi completely dissipated.

In the air, there was not even a trace of her aura left.

Xiao Lingchen sighed deeply.

"Goodbye, Lianyi..."

Three months of companionship had also left unforgettable memories in his mind.

But eventually, dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth.

Tens of millions of years of waiting, now it is time to rest in peace.

Xiao Lingchen set up a grave for Moon Lianyi.

He changed into a new set of clothes before leaving the cave dwelling.

His gaze looked down at the green mountains and winding rivers below the inverted mountain.

Then he closed his eyes.

As if sensing something.

In a moment, he seemed to have connected with something.

"Come!"

As his mind moved, the entire Mystic Realm suddenly began to rumble, and the heavens and earth trembled.

The river water flowed backward, and the sky was filled with brilliant light!

A black cauldron flew up from the earth with supreme power.

Like a brilliant black sun, hanging high in the sky!

This scene shocked everyone who was still in the Mystic Realm at this moment!
