Chapter 1201 802: Soul Illuminating Cave Heaven, Graveyard Onboarding
Just as Zhang Yu was studying the Dao Seed Chart from the "Book of Yu," continually comprehending the mysteries of Level 2 [Immortal Descendant], he suddenly felt a change erupt within his Immortal Space.
A phantom figure slowly emerged from the ground of the Immortal Space.
Looking at the blurry figure, although Zhang Yu couldn't make out the person's appearance, he vaguely guessed the person's identity from the aura of their will.
"Is it... Ling Feng?"
Having observed Ling Feng's memory scenes for so long, Zhang Yu developed a sense of familiarity with Ling Feng's will, enabling him to recognize it.
However, in this moment within the Immortal Space, it was clear that Ling Feng could not hear Zhang Yu's thoughts, much less his words.
Thus, Zhang Yu focused his mind and activated the power gained from Level 2 [Immortal Descendant], immersing his consciousness within it.
Apart from dead objects, Level 2 [Immortal Descendant] could also store consciousness, naturally accommodating the awareness of its master.
The next instant, Zhang Yu felt his consciousness like a swimming fish, floating within the Immortal Space.
Ling Feng seemed to notice Zhang Yu's presence, suddenly turning his head and asking: "Are you the inheritor Junior Ying found?"
Zhang Yu asked: "Are you really Ling Feng?"
Ling Feng replied indifferently: "Consider it so. But enough idle talk, now that you have inherited my Soul Illuminating Cave Heaven, my True Spirit won't hold on for much longer before it collapses."
"Before then, there are some matters I need to clarify with you."
Surprised, Zhang Yu pondered over Ling Feng's mentions of Soul Illuminating Cave Heaven and True Spirit collapse.
"Soul Illuminating Cave Heaven? It should refer to... the inheritance space required for enhancing the [Immortal Descendant] level mentioned in the Dao Seed Chart, correct?"
"And True Spirit collapse..." He thought inwardly, "The True Spirit is the sole evidence for reincarnation; if it collapses... wouldn't it mean the complete obliteration of the soul, even the chance for reincarnation gone?"
Upon this realization, Zhang Yu's mind stirred: "Could it be... to conceal from the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, hence such a decisive, suicidal approach?"
Perceiving the tumult in Zhang Yu's consciousness, Ling Feng spoke calmly: "After True Spirit collapse, indeed there is no chance for reincarnation."
Ling Feng's tone turned cold: "But mere survival through reincarnation, I never sought that. The demise of worldly sects lies in this pursuit of eternal life."
Hearing Ling Feng's words, Zhang Yu abruptly recalled the tale of Ling Feng and Qi Mengyun; if not for chasing immortality, Qi Mengyun might not have fallen into the Demon Path.
Zhang Yu contemplated: "Perhaps from experiencing this incident... Ling Feng began harboring resentment toward cultivators' pursuit of immortality?"
Ling Feng continued: "Entrusting the True Spirit to Soul Illuminating Cave Heaven, using the corpse to cover its traces, at least allowed this waste like me some use, this was my heart's desire; now with the collapse of the True Spirit, it is also a kind of liberation, you need not dwell."
"Before departing, I only wish for you to remember... you have inherited the Soul Illuminating Cave Heaven, thus you are my Righteous Path successor, henceforth irreconcilable with the Demonic Path."
Ling Feng: "But I don't demand you to transcend your limits and slay the Immortal Emperor with a mortal body, for the sake of ridding demons and defending the Dao."
Ling Feng sighed and said: "That would be reckless, squandering one's deep accumulation, wasting the nurturing from elders, also failing the expectations and burdens of future lives."
"Only by preserving a useful body... can you truly stand up when this world genuinely needs you."
Listening to Ling Feng's words, Zhang Yu seemed to feel a strong regret within them, as if he could see Ling Feng at the Great War of Righteous and Demonic, repeatedly regretting his impotence, repeatedly resenting his lost power.
Ling Feng continued: "By then... all Demon Path oppressors of the living, devourers of the masses, soul-stealers, regardless of origin or status, you must slay them one by one."
Looking at the blurred phantom figure, Zhang Yu felt sharp eyes from within it gazing at him, seemingly penetrating his consciousness completely.
The next moment, the phantom figure of Ling Feng surged forward like a meteor slicing through the sky, fiercely colliding with Zhang Yu's consciousness.
It was as if a deafening boom resonated in Zhang Yu's sea of consciousness, making his awareness churn.
Along with Ling Feng's complete True Spirit collapse, his last words deeply embedded in Zhang Yu's mind...
"If friends fall into the demonic path, then slay friends; if kin fall into the demonic path, then annihilate kin; if sects fall into the demonic path, then sever ties with sects."
After a long time, a sigh seemed to echo within the Immortal Space.
Zhang Yu pondered: "Righteous Path... Did Yingxin Heaven follow this principle? So even though he became an Immortal, eventually choosing to oppose the whole of Kunxu?"
"Can I... achieve this?"
The next moment, as Zhang Yu's mind shifted, his consciousness returned to his body.
After this practical exercise in capability, Zhang Yu had attained a deeper understanding of the now Level 2 [Immortal Descendant].
"Preserving consciousness... Now with such a function, besides accommodating my consciousness, it also seems capable of housing Soul Cultivators, right?"
"Moreover, like Ling Feng's unique corpse, due to the inherent remnants of True Spirit and consciousness, upon entry into the Immortal Space, it allows me to see much information and even communicate slightly?"
