Rebirth

After a night of passion...

Liu Ruyan lay prone on Fang Yu's chest, her disheveled hair obscuring half of his shoulder. She raised her chin and looked at Fang Yu, "How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid that when we get out, I'll tell my grandfather and he'll kill you?"

Fang Yu reached out and stroked Liu Ruyan's smooth back, laughing, "Don't be afraid, because you'll never get out!"

"Ah!" A look of surprise appeared in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

The next moment, Fang Yu's palm slammed heavily onto Liu Ruyan's head. She jolted violently, her body shattering like a porcelain doll.

Fang Yu stood up and looked around. The scenery changed, and one after another, flying apsaras appeared.

"Hahaha!"

Fang Yu burst into laughter, took a few steps forward, and embraced the flying apsaras one by one, indulging in sensual pleasures.

This Heart-Questioning Cave was indeed extremely auspicious for him; it allowed him to completely master the "White Bone Sarira."

The level of the Impure White Bone Contemplation has reached the third stage: seeing a beautiful woman as still a beautiful woman.

From now on, he will use the White Bone Sarira without any aftereffects. Although the Divine Ability of this ' White Bone Contemplation ' was not personally cultivated by him, it is no different from that of the one he cultivated personally.

After several nights of passion, Fang Yu regained his manly spirit.

With a thought, everything around him shattered like glass, revealing a cave that looked ordinary, except for a small pool in front of him. Above the pool were stalactites hanging upside down, with water vapor gathering on them to form milky white droplets that fell into the pool.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Stalactite Milk!"

Fang Yu looked at the milky white liquid in the pool, took a few quick steps, took out several jade bottles from his pocket, and collected the fifth-grade spiritual material ' Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Stalactite Milk ' from the pool one by one.

"There really are good things in the Heart-Questioning Cave!"

Fang Yu put away the Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Stalactite Milk, a slight smile playing on his lips.

These fifth-tier ' Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Stalactite Milk ' are top-grade auxiliary materials that can be used to assist in refining various fourth-tier and fifth-tier pills. They can not only greatly increase the success rate of pill refining, but also improve the quality of the pills.

After passing the pool, there was a path. Fang Yu walked for a while and came to another cave, where he saw a hunched figure lying on the ground.

"Ruyan?"

Fang Yu looked at the other person's clothes and felt puzzled. He slowly walked closer and saw an old woman's face covered with wrinkles.

"This!"

Fang Yu's heart stirred. Looking at his body, he saw that he was also emaciated, and his once delicate hands were now skin and bones.

"She's going to grow old and die in this illusion!"

Fang Yu murmured, hesitated for a moment, and watched as her hair turned white strand by strand. A swastika appeared in his eyes, and a golden light fell on Fairy Ruyan, enveloping her. Then he softly called out to her.

"... Ruyan... Ruyan..."

Liu Ruyan's body trembled slightly, her gray hair slowly turned black, her skin gradually became radiant, and her whole body swelled up again as if inflated.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yu's golden light faded, and he said thoughtfully, "No wonder Liu Ruyan is so close to Zhang Zhonghu; it turns out she secretly loves him. Hmm, I should have noticed it sooner!"

He watched as Liu Ruyan, who had become dao companion with Zhang Zhonghu and was about to die in the illusion, was awakened. After searching for a way to wake up, she got up and came to a wall in the cave.

The stone walls here are carved with runes that interlock to form an extremely complex array.

"A fifth-order array diagram!"

Fang Yu's breathing quickened slightly. He turned to look at Liu Ruyan, who was about to wake up, and his eyes shone with golden light, enveloping her.

"How can such a sweet dream end so soon!"

Fang Yu, having plunged Liu Ruyan into a new illusion, looked at the fifth-order array diagram on the cave wall and firmly imprinted it in his sea of consciousness.

After reviewing it several times to make sure he had memorized the fifth-order Dao of Arrays inheritance, Fang Yu headed towards the Dao Attainment ahead.

As he approached, he saw Yang Zhan standing in front of a stone platform, his hands gripping the hilt of a sword embedded in the stone.

Will everyone who enters have a corresponding fortuitous opportunity?

Fang Yu murmured to himself, then realized something was amiss. His cave only contained the ' Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Stone Milk,' which was a top-tier item, but how could it compare to the fifth-order Dao of Arrays inheritance and this obviously extraordinary sword in the stone?

"This is outrageous!"

Fang Yu murmured, her gaze sweeping over the Sword-Ray that only appeared on Yang Zhan's hands, and her face covered with sword marks. She guessed that Yang Zhan was probably facing many enemies in an illusion, and it was unlikely that she would wake up alive.

"Hang in there, we'll talk about it when I get back!"

Fang Yu murmured to himself and continued walking towards the passage ahead.

His relationship with Yang Zhan was just so-so; he didn't care whether Yang Zhan lived or died. He'd rather go check on Zhang Zhonghu first.

Passing through the passage and arriving at the next cave, Fang Yu was startled and quickly took two steps to a tree with Zhang Zhonghu's face on it.

"This is..."

Fang Yu murmured, and the swastika symbol appeared in his eyes. He activated the Divine Ability of the ' White Bone Sarira ', shooting out golden light that enveloped the tree.

In an instant, he saw a towering tree standing tall in the middle of the endless forest, its branches blocking out the sun. Under that tree, Zhang Zhonghu was taking a nap in a branch, his face calm and peaceful.

"He's grown himself into a tree!"

Fang Yu was speechless. He hadn't expected that Zhang Zhonghu's only pursuit in the illusion was to plant a huge tree.

A spark appeared in the illusion, then grew rapidly in the wind, turning into a sea of fire that ignited the entire jungle and quickly burned the trees.

The golden light in Fang Yu's eyes dissipated. He glanced at Zhang Zhonghu, who was recovering from his petrified state, and then looked at a piece of dead wood inside the cave.

'This is?'

Fang Yu held the withered wood in his hand and sensed the boundless vitality it contained. He knew that this thing was definitely not an ordinary item. After glancing at Zhang Zhonghu, who possessed a Wood Spirit Root, he thought that this thing should be of great benefit to his Cultivation Method. Perhaps it was some kind of great fortuitous opportunity.

"Perfect timing! I'm currently lacking Spirit Plant in my Purple Mansion. Let's see if this tree can take root and grow within the Purple Mansion!"

With a thought, Fang Yu put away the piece of dead wood, glanced at Zhang Zhonghu who was about to wake up, and turned to walk towards the cave where Yang Zhan was.

When he returned to the cave, he saw a skeleton covered in sword marks, its hands tightly gripping the hilt of a sword that had been pulled out halfway.

"Dead!"

Fang Yu sighed regretfully, looked at the sword, pondered for a moment, and then a spark appeared, landing on the white bones.

The dissipating souls reassembled and attached themselves to the bones, and flames then spread across the entire skeleton.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, new flesh and blood sprouted from the cracks in the bones, spreading continuously, enveloping the white bones, and regenerating into a new body.

Fang Yu looked at Yang Zhan, who had been reborn under his ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze ' Divine Ability, and a smile appeared on his lips.

From then on, Yang Zhan was like a sword in her hand; whoever she was told to cut, she would cut.

"Snap!"

Yang Zhan's hands, now covered in new flesh and blood, pulled the sword from the stone a little further.

"I should go back to my own cave!"

Fang Yu murmured to himself, quickly passed through the passage, arrived at Fairy Ruyan's cave, glanced at the young woman's face, shook his head, returned to his own cave, and sat down cross-legged.
