Voidspirit Island.
The island lay at the easternmost edge of the East Sea, near the Void Ruins Sea Eye.
Whenever the Void Ruins Secret Realm was about to open, spiritual tides gathered here, raising the island's spiritual energy to the fourth order and giving rise to many spiritual treasures. It had become a renowned land of opportunity, drawing cultivators from near and far.
On this day...
A dark streak of light landed outside the island, revealing a figure in pitch-black robes. It was Fang Qing!
After reaching the peak of Core Formation, he had called Qin Ruxue and Yu Xiang'er over and gathered musicians, dancers, and spiritual chefs on Supreme White Island to celebrate for months. Then Zhong Lingxiu had contacted him: signs had appeared over Voidspirit Island, and the Void Ruins Secret Realm was about to open. Fang Qing had come straight here.
"The Void Ruins Secret Realm only allows Core Formation cultivators inside, and it holds many opportunities to form a Nascent Soul... Could it be the former headquarters of the All-Heaven Star Palace?"
Who knows how many treasures are hidden there? This time, I'll be counting on Zhan Hongxiu again, he thought.
With that, Fang Qing took out a talisman: the long-distance voice-transmission talisman Zhan Hongxiu had left him last time.
Zhan Hongxiu wanted to enter the Lesser Vast Sea Secret Realm and had offered a place in the Void Ruins Secret Realm in exchange.
Although Fang Qing already had the Devouring Sea Token, he had agreed.
After all, what could be more convenient than following a daughter of fortune and shearing off a little of her luck?
He formed a hand seal, and the talisman turned into a flash of fire before vanishing.
Before long, a pink radiance appeared.
Zhan Hongxiu arrived on a flying flower-carpet
