Sheng Fu

Chapter 1244 There is a successor
The expedition teams composed of independent cultivators have entered the Yunmeng Great Swamp one after another, embarking on new adventures. They are unaware that this Yunmeng Great Swamp, which the powerful disdain, hides the most astonishing secret in the world.

By the lake.

The ancient spirit cat perched on Yuwen Jun's shoulder, while Chu Yu stood to the side.

Yuwen Jun formed hand seals, pushing the power of nothingness to its limit. A clear mark of nothingness sank into the depths of the lake, blocking the array's core. This caused the subtle spatial and temporal forces around the core to vanish, as if nothing had ever happened.

Looking at the shimmering water before him, Yuwen Jun pondered, "Unless the Demon Lord comes in person, even if you expose your true nature, you can still escape unscathed."

"It doesn't matter if we encounter the Demon Lord."

"After all, intelligence is the most important thing to the Demon Lord."

"Although we don't know what the Demon Lord's state of mind is right now, judging from the signs, it is possible that we may reach a cooperation with the Demon Lord in the future, each with our own ulterior motives."

"But you two must also be careful and never be careless."

The ancient spirit cat leaped lightly and landed on Chu Yu's shoulder.

Yuwen Jun handed a piece of Origin Chip to Chu Yu and whispered, "Unless absolutely necessary, do not draw your Blade of Time."

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I'm very clever."

"I've decided to go and take a look at the Qingming Great River first; perhaps I'll find something unexpected."

"Once a large-scale secret realm is discovered, I will immediately send a message to my elder brother."

"I will spare no effort to help my elder brother master the Great Void Technique as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun felt both moved and burdened with a great responsibility. He smiled knowingly and said, "With your strong support, I should be able to enter the Myriad Realms."

"I'll go first. Be careful in everything you do."

Just as Chu Yu was about to bow and take his leave, Yuwen Jun handed the Monarch's Blade to Chu Yu and instructed him, "When necessary, you and Senior Spirit Cat should wield the Monarch's Blade together. Its killing power should be enough to intimidate most Limitless experts."

Looking at the heavy Monarch's Blade, Chu Yu was momentarily dazed.

He only felt that this divine weapon was very heavy.

……

Yuxi Town, a hidden realm.

Inside the nine-story palace, the master sat cross-legged, focusing his mind and energy. A faint aura emanated from him, forming an indescribable barrier.

Within the barrier, nothing can be found.

Outside the barrier, life goes on as usual.

Upon sensing the fluctuations in Yuwen Jun's true essence, the master slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that Yuwen Jun's brows held both melancholy and joy, the master's heart was also stirred.

"Have you gained anything?" Master asked calmly.

Yuwen Jun bowed slightly and said, "The gains are great, involving countless mysteries."

"But I have many questions about the Great Dao, so I have come to ask my master for guidance."

The master's eyes brightened slightly.

Yuwen Jun secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "I took Chu Yu to the Ruins of Time and successfully found the Seal of Reincarnation. I unexpectedly discovered that the power of origin can resonate with the power of reincarnation, and can artificially create a brand new River of Time."

"But I am quite confused about how to cultivate myself."

"Chu Yu can resonate with the Reincarnation Seal through the Reincarnation True Essence, and then resonate with the Origin Chip, but I have not mastered the Reincarnation True Essence, and I don't know if my Chaos Emperor Qi can become a medium between the two great forces."

Upon hearing this, the master's gaze gradually cleared and brightened; the progress this time had indeed exceeded his expectations.

Yuwen Jun told his master Chu Yu's speculations without reservation, hoping to obtain a clear and specific method of cultivation from his master. However, this time, his master also fell silent.

Inside the palace, all was quiet, like a morning in the depths of a forest when the fog had not yet lifted.

Some questions are simply endless, such as how many grains of sand are in the desert, how many stars are in the sky, what lies between existence and non-existence, and what lies between fire and light...

Yuwen Jun waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Master's eyes brightened again.

"One cannot think while acting, and one cannot act while thinking. But perhaps we can try to think most meticulously while acting, and find harmony between Yin and Yang." The Master's voice was very soft, yet it seemed to contain some kind of great law, sometimes natural, sometimes unpredictable.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun's eyes lit up.

“Yes, in the end, many things have no result, and that is the final result,” Yuwen Jun said with sudden enlightenment.

Master smiled with satisfaction and said, "Perhaps, this time, you really can..."

Historical experience shows that attempting to conquer all realms is merely using finite fortune to predict infinite possibilities.

Today, the path to understanding the myriad possibilities is becoming increasingly clear, as if a new era is slowly beginning.

Yuwen Jun bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for answering my questions, Master. I will go into seclusion now."

The master's expression was reserved, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he said, "But this time, you cannot go into seclusion in the Bright Soul Mountain."

"You need to go somewhere else."

"Whether it is the leaders of the five clans or those ancient beings dwelling in the hidden space, they all know that the Bright Soul Mountain is located in Yuxi Town. This seclusion involves too much karma, and if it is disturbed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Yuwen Jun then realized what was happening. If it were anyone else, we wouldn't have to mention them.

But the existence of "Tai" and the Demon Lord always makes people feel suffocated without them realizing it.

With a slight flick of his sleeve, the master revealed a bronze square seal hanging on Yuwen Jun's chest. The seal had no intricate inscriptions, nor did it emanate any ripples of the Great Dao; it seemed like an ordinary object.

"What is this?" Yuwen Jun reached out and stroked the four seals, asking with slight suspicion.

The master replied gently, "The Ancient Dragon Seal contains vast mountains and rivers, yet no aura emanates from it. I originally intended to give it to you later, but now that you have reached this point, it is time to hand it over to you."

"If you succeed, the Ancient Dragon Seal will be the starting point for the rise of the dragon race."

"If you are defeated, the Ancient Dragon Seal will be the last refuge for the dragon race."

"Even if the Demon Lord himself came, he would not be able to fathom the mysteries of the Ancient Dragon Seal."

"A dangerous place is also a safe place."

Yuwen Jun accepted the Ancient Dragon Seal, a fiery glint in his eyes. He recalled the Eternal Palace, and he vaguely remembered its layout...

After bowing deeply to his master, Yuwen Jun turned and left gracefully.

Looking at Yuwen Jun's tall and proud back, Master's face was full of satisfaction.

Perhaps due to his excessive excitement, Yuwen Jun did not realize that his master had completely entrusted the entire Dragon Clan to him...

For countless years, this mysterious and powerful dragon lord has been carrying the entire dragon race on his shoulders, forging ahead with determination. His foundation of the Great Dao had already been cracked in that ancient war, and even if he had the ability to mend the heavens, it would be of no use.

I have survived to this day only because of a persistent belief in living in the face of death.

Time flows like water, and the tides never cease. A lingering obsession from the past, after a long period of time, has finally reached the other shore.

His successor will be named Yuwen Jun...
