Lu Yang saw the death of the cicada demon as careless and felt silent for a while; he didn’t even know the name of Jin Chan yet.

Fairy Eternity saw Lu Yang’s silence and guessed what he was thinking, and with the attitude of someone who had been through it all, she spoke earnestly, "This is but a cruel aspect of the ancient battles, you need to adapt more."

"The cruel things I’ve experienced far exceed your imagination, even now, I do not wish to recall them."

Lu Yang had a realization, indeed, the struggles of the Great Era were life and death battles, far from the understated way Fairy Eternity described them, certainly involving bloody conflicts.

For Fairy Eternity, this was not a pleasant experience, which is why she didn’t want to recall it.

"Back when I wanted to finish off Jin Chan, I even used my ’Universe in Palm,’ getting juice all over my fingers, and the feeling still disgusted me when I think about it." Reminiscing about that battle, Fairy Eternity showed a look of disgust and symbolically shook her hands.

Fairy Eternity stood up from the bed, the mattress was soft, bouncing twice as she got up.

"You’ve seen ’Universe in Palm’ before, right? The ’Universe in Palm’ I used back then was this—big." Fairy Eternity stretched out her arms and gestured a large circle with effort.

Fairy Eternity then extended a finger, "It was like this at that time."

While speaking, she even poked Lu Yang a few times.

Lu Yang: "..."

Fairy, isn’t that a bit too abstract of a gesture?

Tao Tingfeng carefully examined the golden cicada shed in the box, which seemed like an incredibly precious treasure.

He had heard from his clan uncle that only Integration Stage Experts were called true lords, which meant that Guanqi Zhenjun must have been in the Integration Stage.

A treasure a Integration Stage Expert was unwilling to part with until death, just shows how valuable this treasure must be.

"What do we do with this thing? Should we try to claim ownership?" Tao Tingfeng felt a surge of interest, this was a massive stroke of luck from the heavens.

Meng Jingzhou glanced at the booklet’s comments on Man Gu, recalled Tao Tingfeng’s recent actions, sneaking up the mountain and getting close to Guanqi Zhenjun, and muttered softly,

"How does this look like someone who is timid and fearful?"

Lu Yang, stroking his chin, speculated, "Do you think it’s possible that Junior Brother Man is being compared with the two of us?"

Meng Jingzhou thought about it and felt Lu Yang had a point; compared to him and Old Lu, this kid named Tao Tingfeng indeed seemed downright cowardly.

While they were talking, Tao Tingfeng, following what his clan uncle had taught him, bit his finger and dropped a drop of fresh blood on the golden cicada shed.

The blood droplet disappeared quickly once it touched the golden cicada shed.

"Is it working?"

Tao Tingfeng was delighted and continued to bleed until he was pale and nearly anemic, only then did the golden cicada shed stop absorbing the blood. Instead, it floated in the air and abruptly entered Tao Tingfeng’s body, startling him immensely.

He hastily touched the spot where the golden cicada shed had entered, but found nothing.

There was also no discomfort in his body.

"Does this count as successful ownership recognition?" Tao Tingfeng wasn’t quite sure.

"...Is this method of claiming ownership not too simplistic?" Lu Yang commented.

"This is called ultimate simplicity, returning to the original purity," Fairy Eternity said in one breath, using two idioms.

"But did Guanqi Zhenjun just die like that?" Meng Jingzhou was somewhat puzzled.

They had just squatted here for a while, and an Ancient Era Integration Stage Expert just died like that, was it not too easy?

From the injuries of Watcher True Monarch, it was clear that he had experienced a fierce battle in his life, and it was even possible that it wasn’t just once. His injuries were not only external; even his soul was severely wounded, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

Now it had indeed extinguished.

"He is not dead, Fairy said Watcher True Monarch had imprinted his last trace of weak consciousness into the Jin Chan shell. As for now, he has already fled into Tao Tingfeng’s spiritual space,"

In Tao Tingfeng’s spiritual space, a feeble voice arose, "Kid... I didn’t expect... that you would know the method of acknowledgment."

Watcher True Monarch’s original idea was to let Tao Tingfeng take good care of the Jin Chan shell; he was hiding inside it, quietly recovering. He didn’t expect this junior to directly claim ownership of the Jin Chan shell through a blood pact!

He was forced to follow the Jin Chan shell into Tao Tingfeng’s spiritual space.

Forget it, perhaps it was really not his fate to be with the Jin Chan shell.

Tao Tingfeng was startled by this voice, "Ah, you, you are still alive?"

Watcher True Monarch didn’t speak anymore; he was in too poor a condition now and needed to rest quietly.

Tao Tingfeng was somewhat flustered and didn’t know what to do, so he went home, fell into a panic-stricken sleep, his mind filled with the events that unfolded at Yanshan.

After resting for a night, Watcher True Monarch finally felt a bit better and could speak continuously.

"I didn’t expect to still be alive, kid, where is this?"

Hearing Watcher True Monarch speak again, this time Tao Tingfeng was mentally prepared and didn’t act too panicked.

"Replying to True Monarch, this is Yanshan City, Quanzhou."

"So, it is Quanzhou." Although Tao Tingfeng couldn’t see Watcher True Monarch, he felt that the current True Monarch must have a contemplative expression.

"True Monarch, who are you really?" Tao Tingfeng recalled the historical figures he had learned about; there seemed to be no one called Watcher True Monarch.

Watcher True Monarch was somewhat displeased for not being recognized, "You, the younger generation, are truly ignorant. I am Watcher True Monarch of Great Qian, an Integration Realm Cultivator, proficient in all Hundred Skills of Cultivation."

Although Tao Tingfeng already knew that Watcher True Monarch was in the Integration Realm, hearing him admit it still plunged him into great shock.

Good heavens, the Integration Realm, even the most powerful person his clan uncle ever met was only at the pinnacle of Nascent Soul Stage.

Another thought struck Tao Tingfeng, "True Monarch, what exactly is this Jin Chan shell, and why is there no change after entering my body?"

Watcher True Monarch snorted coldly, "Ignorant junior, had it not been for the struggle to obtain this Jin Chan shell, I wouldn’t have been hunted down and ended up in such a state."

"This Jin Chan shell is a supreme treasure, even useful to me in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage."

"It was snatched from a cultivator of the Great Yu Era. Initially, I had an agreement with two others who were supposed to help me in exchange for benefits, and the item would be mine. Little did I know, those two were untrustworthy, broke our agreement, became greedy for the wealth, and tried to snatch the Jin Chan shell from me."

"Those two dared to steal from me, they really didn’t know whether to live or die."

Watcher True Monarch revealed a cruel smile, although his own situation wasn’t much better himself.

"Enough, I still need to rest."

That Watcher True Monarch could say so much had already drained all his strength.

…

Lu Yang was temporarily using Fairy Eternity’s spiritual consciousness and could observe Tao Tingfeng’s spiritual space; this was his first time seeing such a weakened Integration Realm expert.

On the other hand, the one residing in his own spiritual space had been lively ever since the revival, even managing to exchange a few moves with Eldest Senior Sister.
