655: Chapter 655 Senichi (20)

Although the terrifying will from the Nine Heavens had been shattered by the Old Madman, Qin Yun's Dao Fruit had completely stalled at the final moment before restoration.

Cracks covered it, and the immortal light was dim.

The signs of Daoization on his Physical Body were slowly fading, but his Foundation was damaged more severely than before.

It was at this moment that the azure pagoda, which had been silent for a long time within his body, took the initiative to emit light after being stimulated by the Old Madman's terrifying Origin.

It was not a faint glimmer.

It was a brilliant blue light.

The tower vibrated violently, and an ancient will that had been asleep for a long time was slowly awakening within it.

Qin Yun's consciousness was enveloped by this light, and he saw that the originally blurry and incomplete ancient characters on the tower were lighting up one by one.

They were like stars that had been silent for a long time, reigniting.

Qin Yun was shocked.

He could clearly feel that the Incomplete Manual he had previously obtained from the azure pagoda was being reorganized and completed at an astonishing speed.

It was no longer an incomplete fragment.

It no longer required him to deduce and guess.

A complete Legacy was unfolding in his Sea of Consciousness.

This was not just the completion and improvement of a Cultivation Technique.

It was more like the Incomplete Manual being completed, and his Foundation being perfected along with it.

Qin Yun realized that this change was more significant than ever before.

At the same time.

Yaochi Immortal Sect, Third Immortal Peak.

Inside an Immortal Cave shrouded in clouds and mist, Chi Li was sitting cross-legged, adjusting his breath.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had been touched from afar by something unseen.

He immediately looked inward at his own body.

The source of the disturbance was not him, but the Nine-Headed Phoenix egg inside his body that had always been very quiet.

The Phoenix egg began to heat up.

Immediately after, there was a slight tremor.

A strong emotion came from the depths of the Phoenix egg.

It was not restlessness, but a strong urge to break out of the shell after being suppressed for too long.

Chi Li's expression changed drastically.

For the first time, he clearly felt that this egg seemed to be responding to a source of the same Origin coming from afar.

Below the cliff of Zangdao Peak.

The revival of the azure pagoda lasted only a few short breaths before returning to silence.

But it was these few breaths of light that resonated with the Origin immortal power left behind by the Old Madman, completely wiping out the powerful will that had been entrenched on Qin Yun's Dao Fruit.

The cracks on the Dao Fruit remained, but the sense of crisis of imminent disintegration had disappeared.

Qin Yun regained control of his immortal energy, Divine Sense, and Physical Body.

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the steady Qi emanating from the complete Cultivation Technique within his body, and the relief of surviving a disaster was quickly replaced by a deeper emotion.

This thing was definitely not just an ordinary Legacy from the peak.

He looked up at the Old Madman standing at the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

The Old Madman was not looking at him, but staring into his body, staring at the power that the azure pagoda had revealed for a moment.

In those turbid eyes of his, there was a brief moment of clarity.

In that moment, there was no madness or laziness in his eyes, only shock, and even a trace of fear.

Qin Yun's heart tightened.

He knew very well that with the strength the Old Madman had previously displayed, it was almost impossible for anything in this immortal domain to make him feel fear.

But just now, he had felt it.

The Old Madman had not recognized the azure pagoda.

He had sensed a source of Origin beyond his cognition.

Just when Qin Yun's heart was in his throat, the clarity in the Old Madman's eyes quickly faded, and he became crazy again.

He scratched his messy hair, started babbling in his mouth, and his emotions became chaotic again.

Qin Yun did not feel relieved at all, but instead felt a sense of crisis.

His biggest secret had been exposed to the Old Madman.

Even if the other party looked crazy again now, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

This was no longer the time to be grateful for the other party saving his life.

Qin Yun was more afraid, afraid that such a person would take an interest in the azure pagoda.

He calmed himself down and soon noticed another more unusual matter.

The azure pagoda had just revived, the will had shattered, and the immortal power had rioted; such a big commotion should have alarmed the entire Yaochi Immortal Sect.

At least, the nearby immortal peaks could not have had no reaction.

But the reality was that outside Zangdao Peak, it was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Qin Yun immediately realized that the Heavenly Secrets and fluctuations here must have been completely shielded by some powerful means.

He naturally attributed all of this to the Old Madman.

The wariness in his heart deepened.

This old guy was not only strong, but his methods for shielding Heavenly Secrets were also very brilliant.

Qin Yun remained calm on the surface, but secretly he was already calculating how to escape.

It was too dangerous to continue staying here.

The Old Madman could lose control at any time, and he had just exposed his secret, so he should leave as soon as possible if he could.

He tentatively said goodbye.

"Senior, my injuries have stabilized, so I will no longer disturb your cultivation."

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully, but his feet moved toward the outside of the Immortal Cave without a trace.

The Old Madman was squatting on the ground, drawing circles with his fingers, muttering "one, two, three, four, five" like a child, and did not react at all to his attempt to leave.

Qin Yun was overjoyed, and his pace quickened a little more.

One step.

Two steps.

He was almost about to touch the edge of the cave entrance.

But just as his front foot was about to step out of the Immortal Cave, a withered hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

Qin Yun froze.

That hand pulled him back gently, and he was effortlessly dragged back.

The Old Madman had stood behind him at some point, and one moment he was babbling nonsense, but the next moment he had instinctively sensed that he wanted to escape.

Qin Yun's heart sank completely.

He truly understood now that he could not escape under the nose of this Old Madman.

"Good son, do you want to abandon me again?"

The Old Madman tilted his head to look at him, and a sentence that sounded neither crazy nor sane came out of his mouth, but his eyes were empty, as if he were looking through him at someone else.

"Don't leave me alone."

After being dragged back, Qin Yun had to resign himself to his fate for the time being.

He dared not try to run hard again.

He quickly adjusted his mindset; since he couldn't run, he would stay on this abandoned peak to Cultivate.

The top priority was to fully comprehend the newly completed Cultivation Technique and then find a way to repair his Dao Fruit.

Qin Yun stayed on the surface, but in his heart, he had not really given up on the idea of leaving; he was just waiting for a better Opportunity.

While Qin Yun was trapped on Zangdao Peak, a piece of news began to spread rapidly throughout the Yaochi Immortal Sect and even the entire Dongming Immortal Domain.

"The Burial Dragon Ancient Land is about to open."

It was unknown who spread the news first, but it soon caused quite a reaction among various forces.

Elders, Disciples, and masters of various peaks all began to stir.

This news also traveled intermittently with the mountain wind to the desolate Zangdao Peak.

"Have you heard? The Burial Dragon Ancient Land only opens once every million years. There are Opportunities inside, but also The Great Menace."

"It is said that a True Immortal once obtained the Legacy of an ancient Immortal Lord inside and ascended to the heavens in one step."

Qin Yun heard these fragmented discussions in the Immortal Cave, and his expression moved slightly.

His first reaction was not excitement, but the realization that an Opportunity had come.

Once the Secret Realm opens, the hearts of people inside and outside the Sect will be affected, and their attention will be diverted.

That might just be his chance to escape, investigate the situation, and even take the Opportunity to obtain more resources.

On Zangdao Peak, Qin Yun began closed-door cultivation, stabilizing his Dao Fruit and the newly completed Cultivation Technique.

The Old Madman wandered around nearby in a crazy manner, sometimes talking to stones, sometimes chasing falling leaves, as if he didn't remember anything, and yet as if he were constantly watching him.

On the Third Immortal Peak, Chi Li pressed his chest alone, feeling the increasingly restless Qi of the Phoenix egg, feeling uneasy.

It seemed to be waiting for a certain Opportunity, and it was only one last step away from breaking out of the shell.
