yī zhèn xuàn yūn zhī hòu ， kàn qīng chǔ zhōu wéi jǐng sè de xiāo héng dà chī yī jīng 。
一阵眩晕之后，看清楚周围景色的萧恒大吃一惊。
A wave of dizziness passed, and Xiao Heng was shocked to see the surroundings clearly. The area around the first-stage pioneer bones was in a mess, with traces of battle everywhere.
bái gǔ xiān qiǎn jìng zhōng yī piàn láng jí ， dào chù dōu shì zhàn dòu guò de hén jì 。
白骨先遣境中一片狼藉，到处都是战斗过的痕迹。
Originally, the landscape had been magnificent and awe-inspiring, but now it looked somewhat broken and desolate.
yuán běn xióng qí zhuàng lì de jǐng sè ， cǐ kè què shì biàn dé yǒu xiē cán pò bù kān 。
原本雄奇壮丽的景色，此刻却是变得有些残破不堪。
"Senior Head Bone..."
“ tóu gǔ qián bèi ……”
“头骨前辈……”
Xiao Heng's heart tightened as he hurried towards where Senior Head Bone was resting.
xiāo héng xīn zhōng yī jǐn ， lián máng gǎn wǎng tóu gǔ qián bèi de xiū mián zhī chù 。
萧恒心中一紧，连忙赶往头骨前辈的休眠之处。
However, the closer he got, the more evident the signs of battle became.
rán ér ， yuè kào jìn nà lǐ ， zhàn dòu de hén jì yuè shì xiǎn zhù 。
然而，越靠近那里，战斗的痕迹越是显著。
In a somber tone, Senior Head Bone began to speak: "I have left four small Medicine King Cauldrons for you in the altar."
guāng jié píng huá de bái gǔ shàng ， rú jīn dào chù dōu biàn dé kēng kēng wā wā 。
光洁平滑的白骨上，如今到处都变得坑坑洼洼。
"They are keys to entering the True Medicine King Cauldron."
bù xiáng de yù gǎn yuè lái yuè qiáng liè ， děng xiāo héng gǎn dào shí ， bù yóu dì chè dǐ dāi zhù 。
不祥的预感越来越强烈，等萧恒赶到时，不由地彻底呆住。
"Over two thousand years ago, Medicine King Zhenzhuang led all members of the Medicine King Sect through a dimensional breach. But about ten years ago, I sensed that they returned to the Yellow and Black World. It was that fiery meteorite that illuminated the sky before falling into the Azure Wutong Abyss."
fǎng fú fā shēng le jù liè de bào zhà ， méi le tóu gǔ qián bèi de yǐng zōng 。
仿佛发生了剧烈的爆炸，没了头骨前辈的影踪。
"If my prediction is correct, something significant must have happened within the Medicine King True Cauldron."
zhǐ shèng xià yí gè hēi qī qī de shēn kēng ， zài sù shuō zhe bù jiǔ qián zhè lǐ sì hū fā shēng de è dòu 。
只剩下一个黑漆漆的深坑，在诉说着不久前这里似乎发生的恶斗。
"However, I sense a great opportunity hidden in it."
“ dào dǐ fā shēng le shén me shì ？”
“到底发生了什么事？”
"If you get the chance, go explore it."
xiāo héng de miàn sè biàn dé yǒu xiē nán kàn 。
萧恒的面色变得有些难看。
"Remember to be careful. There might be other small Medicine King Cauldrons scattered elsewhere. Others could use secret methods to detect their locations through these small cauldrons."
“ nán bù chéng shì wàn xiān méng zhuī guò lái le ？”
“难不成是万仙盟追过来了？”
"You must prioritize your safety. If all else fails, sell them for a good price."
xiǎng qǐ tóu gǔ qián bèi chén shuì qián duì tā de jiāo dài ， xiāo héng xià yì shí dì xiǎng dào 。
想起头骨前辈沉睡前对他的交代，萧恒下意识地想到。
"By the way, I have saved some supplies from my looting back then in the small Medicine King Cauldron. Remember to take it out."
zài shí lín zhōu hùn jì shí duō zài de xiāo héng ， rú jīn zǎo yǐ bú shì dāng chū nà ge duì xiū xiān jiè yī wú suǒ zhī de měng dǒng shào nián le 。
在石临州混迹十多载的萧恒，如今早已不是当初那个对修仙界一无所知的懵懂少年了。
"It's my final gift."
zhèng yīn rú cǐ ， tā de xīn zhōng cái yù fā bīng liáng 。
正因如此，他的心中才愈发冰凉。
...
tā liàn qì shí ， gǎn shuō chū “ fù miè wàn xiān méng ， zhòng zhèn fù xiān róng guāng ， wǒ bèi yì bù róng cí ” de háo yán zhuàng yǔ 。
他炼气时，敢说出“覆灭万仙盟，重振复仙荣光，我辈义不容辞”的豪言壮语。
"Remember, endure and remain hidden..."
kě tā xiàn zài jīn dān jìng ， què shì zài yě bù gǎn rú cǐ dà fàng jué cí le 。
可他现在金丹境，却是再也不敢如此大放厥词了。
"Inherit!"
“ qián bèi jiāo dài ， ruò shì tā lián xì bù shàng ， jiù dài biǎo cǐ dì yǐ jīng bào lù 。 wèi le ān quán qǐ jiàn ， yào jǐn kuài huǐ diào shǒu gǔ ， qiē duàn hé zhè lǐ de yī qiè lián xì 。” suī rán xīn zhōng yǒu xiē bù shě ， dàn shì xiāo héng yě bú shì yōu róu guǎ duàn zhī rén 。
“前辈交代，若是他联系不上，就代表此地已经暴露。为了安全起见，要尽快毁掉手骨，切断和这里的一切联系。”虽然心中有些不舍，但是萧恒也不是优柔寡断之人。
Senior Head Bone's earnest words faded as the image disappeared.
zài lí qù qián zuì hòu sōu xún le yī biàn xiān qiǎn jìng 。
在离去前最后搜寻了一遍先遣境。
Four ancient small cauldrons appeared before Xiao Heng.
xiāo héng yì wài de fā xiàn ， mì jìng zhōng de nà chù bái gǔ jì tán ， sì hū shàng wèi wán quán bèi huǐ huài 。
萧恒意外的发现，秘境中的那处白骨祭坛，似乎尚未完全被毁坏。
Xiao Heng, suppressing his grief, put away the small Medicine King Cauldron. He then left the first-stage pioneer area with a determined expression.
réng rán yǒu sī sī shú xī de bō dòng chuán chū 。
仍然有丝丝熟悉的波动传出。
"Xiao Heng, what happened?" Su Xiaomei noticed his red eyes and changed her expression.
xiāo héng xīn zhōng yī dòng ， àn zhào xiān qián qí dǎo de fāng shì hū huàn qǐ lái 。
萧恒心中一动，按照先前祈祷的方式呼唤起来。
They destroyed the small hand bone that served as an entry token in front of everyone.
“ tóu gǔ qián bèi ！”
“头骨前辈！”
Then they brought the Revive Sect members to the secret room at their base and asked them to do the same.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， tóu gǔ qián bèi de shēn yǐng guǒ zhēn zài jì tán fèi xū shàng kōng fú xiàn 。
片刻之后，头骨前辈的身影果真在祭坛废墟上空浮现。
After cutting off all contact with the first-stage pioneer bones, Xiao Heng explained everything.
xiāo héng jī dòng wàn fēn ， dàn chà nà jiān ， tā jiù lěng jìng xià lái 。
萧恒激动万分，但刹那间，他就冷静下来。
"Senior Head Bone has passed away?!"
yīn wèi miàn qián de ， zhǐ shì yī dào huàn yǐng bà le 。
因为面前的，只是一道幻影罢了。
The others were shocked but not as deeply saddened as Xiao Heng. Only he had interacted directly with Senior Head Bone.
“ xiāo xiǎo zi ， lái bù jí gēn nǐ zuò zuì hòu de dào bié le 。”
“萧小子，来不及跟你做最后的道别了。”
However, they owed him a great debt for their path to cultivation and weren't ungrateful.
“ wǒ méi xiǎng dào ， cáng zài zhè lǐ zhè me jiǔ ， tā men réng rán méi yǒu fàng guò wǒ de dǎ suàn 。”
“我没想到，藏在这里这么久，他们仍然没有放过我的打算。”
Thus, they felt a bit sad but nothing more.
“ ruò shì nǐ néng kàn dào zhè chù yǐng xiàng ， jiù dài biǎo wǒ yǐ jīng zāo yù bù cè le 。”
“若是你能看到这处影像，就代表我已经遭遇不测了。”
"What do we do now?"
jí shǐ yǒu le xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi ， cǐ kè tīng dào tóu gǔ qián bèi qīn kǒu sù shuō ， xiāo héng de yǎn kuàng yě bù yóu de yī hóng 。
即使有了心理准备，此刻听到头骨前辈亲口诉说，萧恒的眼眶也不由的一红。
Silence followed before the question was posed: Should they continue as members of Revive Sect and fight against the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?
“…… suī rán wǒ jiāng tā men yǐn kāi ， bì miǎn le nǐ men de bào lù 。”
“……虽然我将他们引开，避免了你们的暴露。”
Or...
“ dàn zhè lǐ yǐ jīng bù ān quán le 。”
“但这里已经不安全了。”
After all, their strength was no match for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Trying to confront them head-on would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
“ huí qù hòu ， jiù qiē duàn gēn zhè lǐ de lián xì ba ， zài yě bú yào huí lái le 。”
“回去后，就切断跟这里的联系吧，再也不要回来了。”
"Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not good," Su Xiaomei said first.
……
……
"One day in the alliance, a lifetime of servitude. We cannot enter it."
“ wǒ zài jì tán zhōng ， wèi nǐ men liú xià le sì zūn xiǎo yào wáng dǐng 。”
“我在祭坛中，为伱们留下了四尊小药王鼎。”
Zhang Haobo agreed: "That's right. It’s not worth entering."
“ tā men shì jìn rù yào wáng zhēn dǐng de yào shi 。”
“它们是进入药王真鼎的钥匙。”
Su Changyu closed his eyes and spoke calmly: "I support Xiao Mei."
“ shù qiān zài yǐ qián ， yào wáng zōng zhǔ liǔ rú chén shuài lǐng yào wáng zōng quán tǐ chéng yuán pò jiè ér qù 。 dàn shí jǐ nián qián ， wǒ què chá jué dào tā men chóng xīn fǎn huí le xuán huáng jiè 。 jiù shì nà kē zhào liàng tiān jì ， zuì zhōng zhuì luò zài cāng wú zhī yuān de huǒ liú xīng 。”
“数千载以前，药王宗主柳如尘率领药王宗全体成员破界而去。但十几年前，我却察觉到他们重新返回了玄黄界。就是那颗照亮天际，最终坠落在苍梧之渊的火流星。”
Xiao Heng was moved by their decision. He knew that Revive Sect was vastly weaker compared to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
“ rú guǒ bù chū suǒ liào ， yào wáng zōng yīng gāi chū le shén me biàn gù 。”
“如果不出所料，药王宗应该出了什么变故。”
He had initially planned to carry the mission alone, but he was glad they didn't let him down.
“ bù guò ， wǒ míng míng gǎn yìng dào ， yào wáng zhēn dǐng zhōng ， yǒu zhe mò dà de jī yuán 。”
“不过，我冥冥感应到，药王真鼎中，有着莫大的机缘。”
Just as he wanted to speak, a timid voice said: "Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not good!"
“ ruò yǒu jī huì ， nǐ men kě yǐ qù yī tàn jiū jìng 。”
“若有机会，你们可以去一探究竟。”
Xiao Heng was momentarily speechless. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw an immature young man scratching his head with a flushed face.
“ jǐn jì ， yīng gāi hái yǒu qí tā de xiǎo yào wáng dǐng liú luò zài wài 。 huò xǔ páng rén kě yǐ tōng guò mì fǎ jiè zhù xiǎo yào wáng dǐng hù xiāng gǎn yìng wèi zhì 。”
“谨记，应该还有其他的小药王鼎流落在外。或许旁人可以通过秘法借助小药王鼎互相感应位置。”
Xiao Heng praised him: "Worried, you have great courage!"
“ qiān wàn yào xiǎo xīn zì shēn ān wēi 。 ruò shì shí zài bù kě wèi ， bǎ xiǎo yào wáng dǐng mài yí gè hǎo jià qián ， yě bù shī wèi yī zhǒng hǎo bàn fǎ 。”
“千万要小心自身安危。若事实在不可为，把小药王鼎卖一个好价钱，也不失为一种好办法。”
The boy's face turned even redder.
“ duì le ， xiǎo yào wáng dǐng zhōng hái bǎo cún le wǒ dāng nián sōu guā lái de yī xiē wù zī 。 nǐ jì de qǔ chū 。”
“对了，小药王鼎中还保存了我当年搜刮来的一些物资。你记得取出。”
This was Han Wuxiu, one of the descendants of the two ordinary people who had fled to the Azure Cloud Sea. His parents passed away due to illness years ago, and he was raised by Xiao Heng and others.
“ jiù dāng shì wǒ zuì hòu de kuì zèng le 。”
“就当是我最后的馈赠了。”
Han Wuxiu had good cultivation potential and followed Xiao Heng's guidance into the path of cultivation. At just a teenager, he was already at late-stage Qi Condensation.
……
……
Xiao Heng continued: "I understand everyone's intentions. However, it is undeniable that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is too powerful. With our current strength, trying to confront them head-on would be like hitting an egg with a rock."
“ jì zhù ， yǐn rěn 、 zhé fú ……”
“记住，隐忍、蛰伏……”
"Senior Head Bone said correctly before his passing. Our main task is to endure and inherit."
“ chuán chéng ！”
“传承！”
Xiao Heng's face was resolute, his eyes firm.
tóu gǔ qián bèi yīn qiè de huà yǔ wán bì ， yǐng xiàng jiù chè dǐ xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
头骨前辈殷切的话语完毕，影像就彻底消失不见。
"Division leads to unity; unity leads to division. This is the law of nature."
ér sì zūn gǔ piáo de xiǎo dǐng ， chū xiàn zài xiāo héng de miàn qián 。
而四尊古朴的小鼎，出现在萧恒的面前。
"Human dynasties often last only five hundred years."
xiāo héng qiáng yā zhù nèi xīn de bēi tòng ， jiāng xiǎo yào wáng dǐng shōu qǐ 。
萧恒强压住内心的悲恸，将小药王鼎收起。
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance may be strong but has also lasted for thousands of years."
suí hòu miàn lù guǒ jué ， lí kāi le xiān qiǎn jìng 。
随后面露果决，离开了先遣境。
"As long as we pass on the Revive Sect's philosophy from generation to generation, waiting for the right moment, there will come a time when the alliance faces significant changes and disintegration."
“ xiāo héng ， zěn me le ？” sū xiǎo mèi tā men kàn dào xiāo héng tōng hóng de yǎn jīng ， bù yóu dì biàn le liǎn sè 。
“萧恒，怎么了？”苏小妹他们看到萧恒通红的眼睛，不由地变了脸色。
"That is our opportunity."
zài zhòng rén miàn qián ， jiāng zuò wéi jìn rù xìn wù de xiǎo xíng shǒu gǔ cuī huǐ 。
在众人面前，将作为进入信物的小型手骨摧毁。
Xiao Heng spoke slowly.
suí hòu jiāng 【 fù xiān 】 zhòng rén dài dào jù diǎn de mì shì zhōng ， yāo qiú tā men tóng yàng zhào zuò 。
随后将【复仙】众人带到据点的密室中，要求他们同样照做。
Su Xiaomei laughed it off, not taking it seriously. The others only nodded in agreement.
dāng hé bái gǔ xiān qiǎn jìng de lián xì chè dǐ bèi qiē duàn hòu ， xiāo héng fāng cái jiě shì qǐ le yī qiè 。
当和白骨先遣境的联系彻底被切断后，萧恒方才解释起了一切。
Only Han Wuxiu's eyes were wide with hope.
“ tóu gǔ qián bèi yǔn luò le ？！”
“头骨前辈陨落了？！”
"Xiao Heng, you said Senior Head Bone left four small cauldrons for us?"
zhòng rén suī rán yǒu xiē jīng chà ， dàn shì yě bìng bù xiàng xiāo héng zhè bān bēi tòng 。
众人虽然有些惊诧，但是也并不像萧恒这般悲痛。
"Show them to me! What kind of treasure are they?"
bì jìng hé tóu gǔ qián bèi yǒu suǒ jiē chù de ， jiù zhǐ xiāo héng yī rén ér yǐ 。
毕竟和头骨前辈有所接触的，就只萧恒一人而已。
In the midst of silence, Su Xiaomei stepped forward and asked.
bù guò tā men néng shùn lì zǒu shàng xiū xíng zhī lù ， hé tóu gǔ qián bèi de zhào gù shì fēn bù kāi de 。
不过他们能顺利走上修行之路，和头骨前辈的照顾是分不开的。
Xiao Heng took a deep breath and revealed the four small Medicine King Cauldrons, placing them in front of everyone.
lí jiè zhòng rén yě bìng bú shì bù zhī gǎn ēn zhī bèi 。
离界众人也并不是不知感恩之辈。
Su Xiaomei examined one carefully: "Is this it? They look broken. They don't seem like anything special."
suǒ yǐ cǐ shí tā men xīn zhōng jù shì yǒu diǎn nán guò 。
所以此时他们心中俱是有点难过。
"Hey! There's something inside!"
dàn yě jǐn cǐ ér yǐ le 。
但也仅此而已了。
After a moment, Su Xiaomei exclaimed loudly.
“ jiē xià lái zěn me bàn ？”
“接下来怎么办？”
"Woah! So many spirit stones! We're rich!"
chén mò guò hòu ， yí gè wèn tí bǎi zài zhòng rén miàn qián 。
沉默过后，一个问题摆在众人面前。
"And there are so many medicinal herbs!"
shì jì xù bǎo liú zhe fù xiān zǔ zhī de shēn fèn ， hé wàn xiān méng jìn xíng kàng zhēng 。
是继续保留着复仙组织的身份，和万仙盟进行抗争。
"Haha, this is good stuff!"
hái shì ……
还是……
Su Xiaomei threw the small Medicine King Cauldron aside and put on a silver necklace around her neck. She then showed several identical ones to everyone: "Everyone, here you go."
bì jìng gē bó nǐng bù guò dà tuǐ 。
毕竟胳膊拧不过大腿。
Zhang Haobo's eyes lit up.
yǐ tā men zuì gāo yuán yīng jìng de xiū wèi ， yào qù tuī fān yǒu zhe cháng shēng tiān zūn cún zài 、 zhǔ zǎi le xuán huáng jiè bàn bì jiāng shān shù qiān zài de wàn xiān méng 。
以他们最高元婴境的修为，要去推翻有着长生天尊存在、主宰了玄黄界半壁江山数千载的万仙盟。
"Is that an instant teleportation bracelet?"
shǔ shí yǒu diǎn kě xiào le 。
属实有点可笑了。
Su Xiaomei nodded: "That’s it. Back at the Originating Dao Sect, I was saved multiple times by it."
“ wàn xiān méng bú shì gè hǎo dōng xī ” sū xiǎo mèi shuài xiān biǎo dá le zì jǐ de guān diǎn 。
“万仙盟不是个好东西”苏小妹率先表达了自己的观点。
As Su Xiaomei and others put on the silver bracelets, Li Fan in Lanling Province noticed a faint glint of light in his eyes.
“ yī zhāo rù xiān méng ， zhōng shēn wèi niú mǎ 。 zhè wàn xiān méng ， kě shì rù bù dé 。” zhāng hào bō fù hè dào 。
“一朝入仙盟，终身为牛马。这万仙盟，可是入不得。”张浩波附和道。
"Using the updated array, I can finally sense the scene again," he thought to himself.
sū zhǎng yù bì zhuó yǎn jīng ， dàn rán shuō dào ：“ wǒ zhī chí xiǎo mèi 。”
苏长玉闭着眼睛，淡然说道：“我支持小妹。”
Under the Unformable Killer's surveillance, the scene of the gathering at the Azure Cloud Sea suddenly appeared before Li Fan.
xiāo héng kàn zhe huǒ bàn men zuò chū de jué dìng ， xīn zhōng bù jīn yǒu xiē gǎn dòng 。
萧恒看着伙伴们做出的决定，心中不禁有些感动。
...
tā shēn zhī 【 fù xiān 】 hé wàn xiān méng xiāng bǐ ， shì duō me de lì liàng xuán shū 。
他深知【复仙】和万仙盟相比，是多么的力量悬殊。
"Xiao Heng, what do you think about the opportunity mentioned by Senior Head Bone regarding the True Medicine King Cauldron?"
yuán běn yě zhǐ shì dǎ suàn zì jǐ gū shēn yī rén ， káng qǐ 【 fù xiàn 】 de shǐ mìng 。
原本也只是打算自己孤身一人，扛起【复现】的使命。
Su Changyu picked up the small cauldron Su Xiaomei had thrown and arranged it neatly. He asked solemnly.
bù guò hǎo zài zhòng rén méi yǒu ràng tā shī wàng 。
不过好在众人没有让他失望。
Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment: "Senior Head Bone accurately predicted the dramatic changes in Azure Cloud Sea before his passing."
zhèng dāng tā yù shuō huà zhī shí ， què tīng yí gè qiè shēng shēng dì shēng yīn shuō dào ：“ wàn xiān méng bú shì gè hǎo dōng xī ！”
正当他欲说话之时，却听一个怯生生地声音说道：“万仙盟不是个好东西！”
"Likewise, this opportunity with the True Medicine King Cauldron is likely genuine."
xiāo héng dùn shí yǒu xiē yǎ rán 。
萧恒顿时有些哑然。
"But..."
shùn zhe shēng yīn wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn yī wèi qīng sè de shào nián zhèng mō zhe hòu nǎo sháo ， mǎn liǎn tōng hóng 。
顺着声音望去，只见一位青涩的少年正摸着后脑勺，满脸通红。
Thinking of something, Xiao Heng became hesitant again.
xiāo héng xiào zhe kuā jiǎng dào ：“ wú yōu ， hǎo pò lì ！”
萧恒笑着夸奖道：“无忧，好魄力！”
Seeing this, Su Xiaomei immediately got upset: "Xiao Heng, are you going to back out?"
shào nián de liǎn shàng yuè fā gǔn tàng le 。
少年的脸上越发滚烫了。
"You didn't agree when I and Haobo went to Originating Dao Sect last time."
zhè wèi shào nián zhèng shì dāng chū hé xiāo héng yì qǐ lí kāi cóng yún hǎi bì nàn de lí jiè liǎng wèi fán rén de hòu dài ， hán wú yōu 。
这位少年正是当初和萧恒一起离开丛云海避难的离界两位凡人的后代，韩无忧。
"If you do it now, I'll be really angry!"
tā de fù mǔ zǎo xiē nián jù shì yīn bìng qù shì ， ér tā běn rén zé shì yóu xiāo héng 、 sū zhǎng yù děng rén qīn shǒu dài dà 。
他的父母早些年俱是因病去世，而他本人则是由萧恒、苏长玉等人亲手带大。
"Xiao Mei, I..." Xiao Heng smiled weakly, about to explain.
hán wú yōu xiū xíng zī zhì bù cuò ， zài xiāo héng de zhǐ yǐn xià tà shàng le xiū xíng lù 。
韩无忧修行资质不错，在萧恒的指引下踏上了修行路。
But Su Changyu said calmly: "If what Senior Head Bone says is true, the small Medicine King Cauldron is a key to entering the True Medicine King Cauldron."
shí jǐ suì de nián líng ， yǐ jīng shì liàn qì hòu qī le 。
十几岁的年龄，已经是炼气后期了。
"The four of us should go together," he agreed.
kuā wán hán wú yōu ， xiāo héng zhuǎn guò tóu lái 。
夸完韩无忧，萧恒转过头来。
Su Xiaomei nodded in agreement.
“ dà jiā de xīn yì wǒ yǐ jīng zhī xiǎo 。 bù guò yǒu yì diǎn bù kě fǒu rèn ， wàn xiān méng shí zài tài guò qiáng dà 。 yǐ wǒ men rú jīn de shí lì ， xiǎng yào hé tā yìng pèng ， wú yì yú yǐ luǎn jī shí 。”
“大家的心意我已经知晓。不过有一点不可否认，万仙盟实在太过强大。以我们如今的实力，想要和它硬碰，无异于以卵击石。”
However, Su Changyu changed his tone: "But... we can't all go at once."
“ qián bèi yǔn luò qián shuō de hěn duì ， wǒ men de zhǔ yào rèn wù jiù shì yǐn rěn 、 chuán chéng 。”
“前辈陨落前说的很对，我们的主要任务就是隐忍、传承。”
"Worried is still young and needs someone to take care of him."
xiāo héng miàn róng jiān yì ， yǎn shén jiān dìng 。
萧恒面容坚毅，眼神坚定。
"Zhao Erbao and the Yin sisters are out searching for treasures. They often bring useful items back."
“ fēn jiǔ bì hé hé jiǔ bì fēn ， cǐ nǎi tiān dì dà shì 。”
“分久必合合久必分，此乃天地大势。”
"These things need someone to look after them," he concluded.
“ fán rén wáng cháo ， wǎng wǎng wǔ bǎi nián jiù shì jí xiàn 。”
“凡人王朝，往往五百年就是极限。”
(End of Chapter)
"Hmm?!"
A wave of dizziness passed, and Xiao Heng was shocked to see the surroundings clearly. The area around the first-stage pioneer bones was in a mess, with traces of battle everywhere.
Originally, the landscape had been magnificent and awe-inspiring, but now it looked somewhat broken and desolate.
"Senior Head Bone..."
Xiao Heng's heart tightened as he hurried towards where Senior Head Bone was resting.
However, the closer he got, the more evident the signs of battle became.
In a somber tone, Senior Head Bone began to speak: "I have left four small Medicine King Cauldrons for you in the altar."
"They are keys to entering the True Medicine King Cauldron."
"Over two thousand years ago, Medicine King Zhenzhuang led all members of the Medicine King Sect through a dimensional breach. But about ten years ago, I sensed that they returned to the Yellow and Black World. It was that fiery meteorite that illuminated the sky before falling into the Azure Wutong Abyss."
"If my prediction is correct, something significant must have happened within the Medicine King True Cauldron."
"However, I sense a great opportunity hidden in it."
"If you get the chance, go explore it."
"Remember to be careful. There might be other small Medicine King Cauldrons scattered elsewhere. Others could use secret methods to detect their locations through these small cauldrons."
"You must prioritize your safety. If all else fails, sell them for a good price."
"By the way, I have saved some supplies from my looting back then in the small Medicine King Cauldron. Remember to take it out."
"It's my final gift."
...
"Remember, endure and remain hidden..."
"Inherit!"
Senior Head Bone's earnest words faded as the image disappeared.
Four ancient small cauldrons appeared before Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng, suppressing his grief, put away the small Medicine King Cauldron. He then left the first-stage pioneer area with a determined expression.
"Xiao Heng, what happened?" Su Xiaomei noticed his red eyes and changed her expression.
They destroyed the small hand bone that served as an entry token in front of everyone.
Then they brought the Revive Sect members to the secret room at their base and asked them to do the same.
After cutting off all contact with the first-stage pioneer bones, Xiao Heng explained everything.
"Senior Head Bone has passed away?!"
The others were shocked but not as deeply saddened as Xiao Heng. Only he had interacted directly with Senior Head Bone.
However, they owed him a great debt for their path to cultivation and weren't ungrateful.
Thus, they felt a bit sad but nothing more.
"What do we do now?"
Silence followed before the question was posed: Should they continue as members of Revive Sect and fight against the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?
Or...
After all, their strength was no match for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Trying to confront them head-on would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
"Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not good," Su Xiaomei said first.
"One day in the alliance, a lifetime of servitude. We cannot enter it."
Zhang Haobo agreed: "That's right. It’s not worth entering."
Su Changyu closed his eyes and spoke calmly: "I support Xiao Mei."
Xiao Heng was moved by their decision. He knew that Revive Sect was vastly weaker compared to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
He had initially planned to carry the mission alone, but he was glad they didn't let him down.
Just as he wanted to speak, a timid voice said: "Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not good!"
Xiao Heng was momentarily speechless. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw an immature young man scratching his head with a flushed face.
Xiao Heng praised him: "Worried, you have great courage!"
The boy's face turned even redder.
This was Han Wuxiu, one of the descendants of the two ordinary people who had fled to the Azure Cloud Sea. His parents passed away due to illness years ago, and he was raised by Xiao Heng and others.
Han Wuxiu had good cultivation potential and followed Xiao Heng's guidance into the path of cultivation. At just a teenager, he was already at late-stage Qi Condensation.
Xiao Heng continued: "I understand everyone's intentions. However, it is undeniable that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is too powerful. With our current strength, trying to confront them head-on would be like hitting an egg with a rock."
"Senior Head Bone said correctly before his passing. Our main task is to endure and inherit."
Xiao Heng's face was resolute, his eyes firm.
"Division leads to unity; unity leads to division. This is the law of nature."
"Human dynasties often last only five hundred years."
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance may be strong but has also lasted for thousands of years."
"As long as we pass on the Revive Sect's philosophy from generation to generation, waiting for the right moment, there will come a time when the alliance faces significant changes and disintegration."
"That is our opportunity."
Xiao Heng spoke slowly.
Su Xiaomei laughed it off, not taking it seriously. The others only nodded in agreement.
Only Han Wuxiu's eyes were wide with hope.
"Xiao Heng, you said Senior Head Bone left four small cauldrons for us?"
"Show them to me! What kind of treasure are they?"
In the midst of silence, Su Xiaomei stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Heng took a deep breath and revealed the four small Medicine King Cauldrons, placing them in front of everyone.
Su Xiaomei examined one carefully: "Is this it? They look broken. They don't seem like anything special."
"Hey! There's something inside!"
After a moment, Su Xiaomei exclaimed loudly.
"Woah! So many spirit stones! We're rich!"
"And there are so many medicinal herbs!"
"Haha, this is good stuff!"
Su Xiaomei threw the small Medicine King Cauldron aside and put on a silver necklace around her neck. She then showed several identical ones to everyone: "Everyone, here you go."
Zhang Haobo's eyes lit up.
"Is that an instant teleportation bracelet?"
Su Xiaomei nodded: "That’s it. Back at the Originating Dao Sect, I was saved multiple times by it."
As Su Xiaomei and others put on the silver bracelets, Li Fan in Lanling Province noticed a faint glint of light in his eyes.
"Using the updated array, I can finally sense the scene again," he thought to himself.
Under the Unformable Killer's surveillance, the scene of the gathering at the Azure Cloud Sea suddenly appeared before Li Fan.
...
"Xiao Heng, what do you think about the opportunity mentioned by Senior Head Bone regarding the True Medicine King Cauldron?"
Su Changyu picked up the small cauldron Su Xiaomei had thrown and arranged it neatly. He asked solemnly.
Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment: "Senior Head Bone accurately predicted the dramatic changes in Azure Cloud Sea before his passing."
"Likewise, this opportunity with the True Medicine King Cauldron is likely genuine."
"But..."
Thinking of something, Xiao Heng became hesitant again.
Seeing this, Su Xiaomei immediately got upset: "Xiao Heng, are you going to back out?"
"You didn't agree when I and Haobo went to Originating Dao Sect last time."
"If you do it now, I'll be really angry!"
"Xiao Mei, I..." Xiao Heng smiled weakly, about to explain.
But Su Changyu said calmly: "If what Senior Head Bone says is true, the small Medicine King Cauldron is a key to entering the True Medicine King Cauldron."
"The four of us should go together," he agreed.
Su Xiaomei nodded in agreement.
However, Su Changyu changed his tone: "But... we can't all go at once."
"Worried is still young and needs someone to take care of him."
"Zhao Erbao and the Yin sisters are out searching for treasures. They often bring useful items back."
"These things need someone to look after them," he concluded.
