Chapter 41 -32: The Girl with a Heavenly Mandate_2
In the dim stone passage.
When Pang Jian passed by that stone chamber, he could no longer see the stone table, stone chairs, and stone bed inside, because the stone door had completely closed.
Carrying the Dragon Pattern Spear, he used the long spear to point forward, identifying the path ahead.
——In this manner, he proceeded through the unknown depths of the stone passage.
At this time, he couldn’t help but recall the burning sensation that suddenly emanated from his chest when he once rode on the same horse with Shangguan Qin.
Considering his experience in Black Water Pool, he was certain that back when Ning Yao went in search of the Blood Moon relics on the Unstable Ferry, he had been attacked by a drop of Phoenix Marrow in front of the Phoenix Bone.
He had survived unharmed because the bronze medallion his father had left him had absorbed the drop of Phoenix Marrow that was supposed to transform him into a monster!
Just like before!
Shortly after that incident, he had developed a high fever, and eventually fainted on his warhorse.
“This Phoenix Marrow, and the blood-colored phoenix that burst forth from the monster, will only be more fierce. I hope the attack comes more slowly this time, I hope I can endure it,” he thought to himself.
As he walked through the stone passage, he wondered about the origin of the bronze medallion and whether his father, who had given it to him, knew of its magic?
Father, where did you obtain this bronze medallion?
His thoughts wandered, but still he continued to advance down the narrow and dark tunnel, tapping forward with his spear.
Time flew by swiftly.
He felt as though he had spent a very long time in the stone passage, still not seeing any light. The long and dark passage seemed to have no end at all.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Pang Jian once again felt the itch and burning sensation in his chest!
Having prepared himself mentally, this time he distinctly felt waves of strange energy emanating from the bronze pendant clinging to his skin!
This surge of supernatural energy instantly penetrated his breastbone and streamed from the center of his chest towards his abdomen!
The painful tingling and itching sensation of a thousand ants gnawing on his bones re-emerged, his body temperature steadily climbed, and his head swelled to the point of nearly splitting!
He immediately knew he probably couldn’t endure this for long and would pass out just as he had last time.
Only this time, whether or not he would wake up again was uncertain in his heart.
Anxious, he comforted himself with the thought that since the skin on his chest and arms could breathe on their own, he wouldn’t drown if he fainted, and the secluded stone passage deep under the high mountains was probably inaccessible to any living creature.
Thus, he should be safe after losing consciousness.
“Ugh!”
The young man, having made the worst of plans, suddenly felt coolness at his heart. He reached out to touch, and his hand found the lotus leaf that gleamed like jade.
The lotus leaf was cool to the touch, radiating a quiet icy-green radiance that not only illuminated the dark stone passage but also reduced the high temperature within his body by several degrees.
His eyes showed delight.
He hadn’t expected that the lotus leaf, prized as a treasure by Jin Yang, would actually play a role at a critical moment, preventing him from immediately fainting and allowing him to feel the various changes in his body.
Gradually, he sensed that the mysterious divine alien powers emerging from the bronze medallion were coursing through the bones in his body.
It was as though numerous flaming phoenixes were soaring inside his bones, furiously hammering them, causing sparks to fly within.
Amid the torturous pain of his bones being tempered a thousand times, he did not lose consciousness, all thanks to that lotus leaf.
He suddenly felt grateful to Jin Yang, thinking although the man had died, he had left him with a treasure.
Before he could rejoice for long, he noticed the icy-green radiance emanating from the lotus leaf covering his heart was fading.
The mysterious lotus leaf, unable to withstand the strange changes within his body, could not keep him conscious for long.
In a short while, the supernatural energy in the lotus leaf was exhausted, and when it ceased to emit light, the lotus leaf suddenly shattered into many pieces underwater.
As the lotus leaf shattered, Pang Jian knew that Jin Yang’s original plan was actually unfeasible.
This somewhat mystical lotus leaf couldn’t block even a drop of Phoenix Marrow’s power; if Jin Yang had really absorbed a drop of Phoenix Marrow, he would eventually become another monster.

Soon, the high temperature emanating from his body became more and more fierce.
Pang Jian fainted once again.
…
The Second Realm.
An exhausted Sun Bin, after another instant transportation with Pang Lin, fell on his back on a floating island, his limbs pointing skyward.
The dome of the sky was a clear blue, cloudless for miles.
Four enormous chunks of land floated at the four corners of the sky—east, south, west, and north—so dazzlingly prominent.
Looking at the familiar sky, Sun Bin sighed weakly and said, “Girl, I really did everything I could.”
On this serene day, a despairing Sun Bin was prepared to meet death, so he looked unwillingly at the azure sky.
“I’ve used every escape spiritual artifact and magic spell at my disposal, including my essence blood and soul, both those that should be used and those that shouldn’t; I’ve used them all! There’s really nothing I can do, I can’t contact anyone else, I have no strength left at all.”
Sun Bin explained to the sky, as if speaking to someone in the Upper Realm, to prove that he had not been negligent.
“Senior Sun, I don’t blame you. I just can’t bear to leave my brother alone. Once I’m gone, he will have no family left in this world.”
On Pang Lin’s graceful and ethereal face was now a thick layer of reluctance, her mind filled with thoughts of her brother, alone in the Lower Realm, wondering what he would do in the future.
“My brother never had the opportunity to come up here and see this blue sky.”
“I had always thought that I must practice hard and then return to take him up here…”
Pang Lin murmured softly, tears shining at the corners of her eyes, feeling as despairing as Sun Bin.
It turned out that in the world above, the sun could be seen occasionally, a bright moon was a constant presence in the night sky, and countless stars adorned it.
Everything was so beautiful.
The days and nights above were all stunningly vivid and colorful, it was just a pity that her brother never had the chance to come and see them.
She felt regret because Pang Jian had not managed to arrive.
“Whoosh!”
The bone that had been chasing her and Sun Bin for so long suddenly appeared again like a flash of cold lightning.
This time, Sun Bin no longer had the strength to take her with him and perform those miraculous methods to escape.
The Phoenix Bone released a crystal-clear treasure light, countless minute symbols within it dazzling like diamonds, and it came to a stop quietly in front of her.
The symbols, like stars and shattered diamonds, flew away from the Phoenix Bone before her eyes, whooshing past as if showing her endless magic and mystery.
The Phoenix Bone, instead of positioning itself as if wanting to attack or stab her, slowly approached her chest, releasing a thread of thought coaxing her to touch it.
Pang Lin was stunned for a while.
Under the somewhat bewildered gaze of Sun Bin, she curiously touched the Phoenix Bone lightly with the pad of her right finger.
Instantly, vast oceans of knowledge flowed from her fingertip into her body.
Within the white bone, countless diamond-like tiny points of light symbols rapidly vanished one by one.
Sun Bin stared blankly, and only after a long time did he mumble to himself, “So it turns out, He wasn’t trying to kill the two of us; He had taken a fancy to this girl.”
