Hearing Su Yi’s words, Lin Chan was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head with a bitter smile, her voice carrying a calm acceptance of life and death. “My Nascent Soul is shattered, my origin exhausted, and my lifespan has long since dried up. Were it not for my lingering obsession, this wisp of a remnant soul would have dispersed long ago. Leaving? That would only be finding another place to vanish into thin air.”
“If it is merely a matter of lifespan,” Su Yi said, his expression unchanged as he slowly opened his right hand. Resting in his palm was a perfectly round, longan-sized medicinal pill radiating dense vitality and a wondrous Dao charm. “This junior might be able to replenish it for you.”
【Heavenly Longevity Pill】: Reverses lifespan depletion and repairs foundational damage.
【Congratulations, Host, on purchasing the Heavenly Longevity Pill.】
Lin Chan’s illusory figure shuddered violently. She stared in shock at the pill; with her breadth of experience, she could naturally sense the immense medicinal potency contained within!
An incandescent light of disbelief erupted in her eyes—a yearning for “life”!
Yet in merely an instant, the light dimmed once more. She shook her head with an even deeper bitterness. “It’s useless... It is not just my lifespan that is depleted. When I crippled my Nascent Soul back then, my Dao foundation collapsed, and my life origin was shattered. No ordinary pill can save me...”
“And what if we add this?” Su Yi seemed to have anticipated this, leisurely opening his left hand.
Another, even more mysterious pill lay quietly in his palm, its surface swirling with a luminous glow that seemed capable of tracing back to the very origins of life.
【Origin Tracing Pill】: Reshapes life origin and repairs cracks in the Dao foundation.
【Congratulations, Host, on purchasing the Origin Tracing Pill.】
“!!!” Lin Chan was struck utterly speechless. Her illusory figure fluctuated violently, revealing the extreme turmoil within her heart.
Either of these two pills would be enough to stir up a bloodbath in the outside world, yet he had produced both at once?
This was no longer a question of price, but of status—pills like these could not be bought with money alone.
“You...” She parted her lips, wanting to say that even this might not reverse heaven’s decree. She wanted even more to say that she was tired; after thousands of years of solitude, once she let go of the obsession that sustained her, exhaustion reaching deep into her divine soul rushed in like a tidal wave.
However, Su Yi cut her off. His voice was not loud, but it carried an unyielding conviction that struck directly at Lin Chan’s deepest obsession: “Senior, we and the demon clan have long been irreconcilable! They coveted the Azure Profound Flood Dragon and ruined your inheritance. With such a feud, is there any reason to only allow them to invade without us striking back?”
His gaze burned like fire. “Why not leave with me, Senior? In the future, once we possess sufficient strength, I am willing to march against the demon clan alongside you and trample the Demonic Domain flat, all to comfort the souls of your master and fellow disciples in heaven!”
Su Yi knew that the hatred of a destroyed sect was not something easily laid to rest. Sooner or later, he and Tantai Yunzhi would have to settle the score with the demon clan anyway.
These words struck Lin Chan’s heart like a heavy hammer.
Revenge! That was the obsession buried deepest in her heart, one she had dared not entertain due to her own condition!
Seeing the fierce struggle and yearning in Lin Chan’s eyes, Su Yi knew the iron was hot. He delivered the final and most irresistible reason:
“Could it be that Senior... does not wish to personally see this last bloodline of the Azure Profound Flood Dragon hatch from its shell? Do you not wish to personally instruct Yunzhi, watch her inherit your master’s legacy, and carry forward the Grand Dao of beast taming?”
“After all, my Junior Sister and I are mere novices in this path. We truly need a guide like you, Senior.”
He pushed his hands forward, letting the two pills hover in mid-air, radiating an alluring vitality and hope.
“This...” Lin Chan looked at the two pills, then at Su Yi’s resolute gaze, and then at Tantai Yunzhi beside him, who held the beast egg with anticipation and pleading in her eyes. The persistence and weariness of ten thousand years finally wavered completely under the combined impact of “revenge,” “legacy,” and “rebirth.”
She remained silent for a long time. In the end, she turned her head away, letting strands of hair obscure her cheeks. “Very well... Since you, boy, have put it this way... I shall leave with you.”
“It is merely a pity that this immortal cave cannot be brought along,” Lin Chan said regretfully.
“Rest assured, this junior has a way.” Su Yi looked toward the stalactites above.
He had come specifically for this treasure; how could he return empty-handed?
Seeing Su Yi’s supremely confident expression, Lin Chan raised an illusory brow. “Boy, what method could you possibly have? To say nothing of the fact that you have yet to form a core, even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not possess the ability to move an entire immortal cave connected to an earth vein! Is the power of space a child's game?”
“Senior only needs to wait and see. This junior has his means.” Su Yi smiled faintly without offering further explanation. With a thought, a pale blue UI screen visible only to himself expanded before his eyes.
His breathing quickened slightly, carrying a faint trace of excitement. Finally... he could finally officially activate the feature he had anticipated for so long!
【Homeland System activated...】
【Special environment detected: Core of Spirit-Nurturing Secret Realm (contains Supreme-grade Spirit Spring Eye, Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Forest x1)...】
【Collect/relocate terrain module?】
Yes!
Su Yi confirmed in his mind without hesitation.
In the next moment, a scene unfolded that left Lin Chan and Tantai Yunzhi dumbfounded—
Without any earth-shattering spiritual energy fluctuations, and without complex hand seals or incantations, the pool of supreme-grade spirit spring misty with milky-white spiritual fog and radiating boundless vitality—along with the spiritual soil bedrock beneath it that had been steeped for countless millennia—vanished into thin air, as if wiped away in an instant by an invisible giant hand!
All that remained was a mirror-smooth, bottomless pit, testifying to what kind of treasure had once existed there.
“What happened?!” Lin Chan’s illusory figure swayed violently, almost failing to maintain its form. She looked at Su Yi in horror. “This... is your doing?!”
This method completely exceeded the scope of her understanding of “techniques” or “divine abilities”! Silent, without stirring even a single spatial ripple—this was by no means an ordinary spatial storage method!
Su Yi merely smiled and nodded, not pausing in his actions.
He turned his gaze toward the cluster of stalactites on the cavern ceiling, which resembled a forest of white jade slowly dripping body tempering fluid, and silently chanted in his mind once more: “Relocate!”
In an instant, light swirled across the cavern ceiling. Those stalactites that had hung suspended for an untold number of years, condensing a vast amount of heaven and earth essence, vanished without a trace, revealing the rough, primordial stone dome above.
The treasures of the cavern’s entire core area had been completely “relocated” clean in a mere two breaths!
Homeland System—a very traditional gameplay feature, but one that had been improved upon.
Because many secret realm maps in the late game appeared only once, drawing constant negative reviews from players, the developers had specially introduced this downright “shameless” feature: direct terrain module relocation!
As long as the system determined the terrain was not a key area for subsequent plotlines, one could directly “cut and paste” spiritual veins, mineral deposits, special landforms, and even entire herb gardens from the open world into the Homeland space intact!
Fortunately, this map did not appear in any subsequent plotlines; otherwise, Su Yi would not have been able to collect it.
In the game’s early stages, this feature did not exist. However, since few players were willing to craft terrain by hand, this crude and straightforward mode had been created.
Back when Su Yi explored the three great sects, he had thought about taking their sacred grounds.
Regrettably, however, those were all important maps.
When Su Yi finished everything, both Lin Chan and Tantai Yunzhi were left standing frozen where they were.
“How... how on earth did you do that?” Lin Chan’s voice held a tremor she had not even noticed herself.
“This is by no means an ordinary spatial magical treasure! Even the legendary grotto-heaven treasures require refining to store things, and it is impossible to be so... so brutally uproot an earth vein spiritual eye!”
Looking at the astonished pair and at Lin Chan’s almost worldview-shattering expression, Su Yi said respectfully, “It is merely a minor ancestral secret technique.”
He paused, then added, “Moreover, within my ‘space,’ the effects of the spirit spring and stalactites will not be affected in the slightest. In fact, they might even improve due to the superior environment. Senior may also recuperate and cultivate there in peace.”
“Shall we also leave the sacred beast egg in Senior’s care within the space?”
Lin Chan opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, merely staring at Su Yi with an exceedingly complicated expression.
She realized that she seemed to have vastly underestimated the depth and... sheer bizarreness of this Young Manor Lord of Divine Might Manor.
“If that is the case, then as you say.” Lin Chan rubbed her temples, feeling as if she were about to suffocate.
“Very well, then please rest and recuperate in peace, Senior.”
Su Yi placed the pills and the beast egg into her hands. Then, with a flash of blue light, she too vanished without a trace.
【Character (Lin Chan) has successfully moved in.】
“Alright, this time, it’s truly a complete success!” Su Yi stretched lazily and extended a hand toward Tantai Yunzhi.
“Let’s go. Back to Divine Might Manor.”
