"Boom!"

Luo Qingyi wielded the power of the Sword Tomb, unleashing the ultimate sword she could achieve, the strongest attack Ye Chen had ever seen!

The terrifying force exploded on that reddish-brown stone.

Waves of energy, like tsunamis, swept in all directions.

The azure long sword disappeared, Luo Qingyi returned to her original appearance, raised her hand, and all storms ceased.

"Cracked!"

Master Legs' voice, full of surprise, sounded.

On the surface of that reddish-brown stone, a crack finally appeared.

"Crack crack!"

The crack spread, more and more, until it covered the entire stone.

This was just a layer of outer skin formed by the Heaven-Sealing Stone, needing such terrifying power to break. If it were a complete Heaven-Sealing Stone, how difficult would it be to break?

Probably no one could rely solely on brute force to break it!

"Let me do the final blow!"

Master Legs laughed heartily, his large foot flew out and kicked the stone.

"Boom!"

Fragments splattered.

The next moment, an exaggeratedly shaped big bow appeared in Ye Chen and Luo Qingyi's sight.

This was a longbow with intricate golden carvings, standing on the ground, even taller than Ye Chen.

The bowstring emitted a splendid and colorful glow.

The huge weight lifted from Ye Chen's heart, thankfully it wasn't an ancient relic sealed for countless years.

"Ye Chen, go try it!"

Master Legs shouted.

"Hmm!"

Ye Chen was also very curious about this longbow, apparently a Qi Fortune artifact, preserved using the Heaven-Sealing Stone. What was so special about it?

Walking to the side of the longbow, Ye Chen carefully examined it.

"If you don't try it, I'm going!" Master Legs urged.

Ye Chen's heart tightened, he couldn't let Master Legs try it with his big foot, he'd feel uncomfortable using it later.

So, he reached out with his left hand, gripping the longbow firmly.

The touch was icy!

Applying force, Ye Chen suddenly furrowed his brow.

So heavy!

He couldn't lift it!

"It's not your strength that's unable to lift this longbow, it's the longbow that doesn't recognize your strength. Try using the ancestral power," Luo Qingyi reminded.

Ye Chen immediately did as instructed, channeling the ancestral power into his left palm.

"Buzz!"

The bow vibrated, Ye Chen easily lifted the longbow, then pulled the string with his right hand.

No need to infuse his strength; a phantom arrow appeared on the longbow.

"Don't shoot it!" Master Legs shouted, "That arrow is absorbed from Cangzhou's Qi Fortune power, finally gathered to this extent; shooting it will deplete it."

Ye Chen quickly released his grip on the string, allowing it to return to normal. The Destiny Arrow merged back into the bow.

"Its effects aren't visible now, but when your Cangzhou's Qi Fortune thrives, it will have miraculous effects," Master Legs said.

"Master Legs, does shooting each arrow deplete fortune?"

Master Legs nodded, saying, "Fortune, like the elemental power of heaven and earth, is intangible.

You needn't worry about depleting Cangzhou's fortune; once fortune rises, it will recover. Just manage it properly."

Ye Chen nodded, understanding the gist.

This Qi Fortune treasure can't be overused.

Using it too much might hinder fortune recovery.

Occasional use is fine; don't harm the fortune's foundation, fortune will regenerate continuously.

Fortune is mysterious.

Without fortune, everything is just as it should be.

With fortune, living long in a place abundant in fortune brings many benefits in cultivation, increases the chance of encountering opportunities, and raises the probability of birthing geniuses.

"Now there's another problem," Ye Chen sighed, placing the Qi Fortune Longbow aside, looking at the scattered fragments.

Initially, these were meant to be bargaining chips to help Brother Chun repel that strong enemy.

But now the stone is shattered.

And the treasure inside the stone has been taken.

If that guy fighting Brother Chun finds out, he'll probably go berserk!

"What's wrong?" Luo Qingyi asked.

They rarely pay attention to outside matters because Ye Chen encounters increasingly powerful beings. Any mishap could expose Sword Tomb's secret.

Ye Chen explained briefly.

Master Legs chuckled, saying, "I'm sure, the guy fighting Shi Fengchun isn't this Qi Fortune Longbow's owner.

He's just a guardian; he might not even know what treasure he's guarding.

Just piece these fragments back together, kid, watch carefully, and let Master Legs show you a trick!"

Ye Chen: "Master Legs, you don't have hands!"

"I'll show you with my feet!"

With that, Master Legs started working; his large feet assembling the fragments. In moments, the intact stone reappeared before Ye Chen.

With his Martial Arts Celestial Eye, Ye Chen observed, finding no trace of crack!

"Impressive, right?" Master Legs said proudly.

Luo Qingyi snorted coldly, "How many deceits must one master to perfect this forgery?"

Master Legs and Ye Chen: "..."

Outside.

Feng Wanli was anxious, pacing around like an ant on a hot pot.

Ye Chen had been inside for quite a while, with no sign, did something happen?

Can the teacher hold on?

At that moment.

"Boom!"

The grand formation erupted with intense fluctuations.

Ye Chen's figure shot out, appearing before Feng Wanli.

"Did it succeed?" Feng Wanli asked nervously.

Ye Chen concentrated, and the now empty stone was taken from his Storage Ring, held with one hand.

"When I step in, how could I fail?"

"Let's go, help my teacher!" Feng Wanli eagerly departed.

"Wait!" Ye Chen called out, stopping Feng Wanli, "If we take this, he'll just kill us to snatch it back, that's not right."

"We'll threaten him, if he doesn't stop, we'll destroy this stone."

Ye Chen shook his head, "That won't work, because... he knows we can't destroy it, this thing is tough."

"Then what should we do?" Feng Wanli asked.

"Hide it, force him to stop; if he doesn't stop, don't tell him. Also, make him vow not to act over this!"

Feng Wanli gritted his teeth, "Then let's act quickly!"

...

In the void, the battle continued, Shi Fengchun and the middle-aged man with the heavy sword fought ceaselessly.

Both were now bruised and battered!

The middle-aged man, puzzled, asked, "Shi Fengchun, your death energy is indeed unique, but shouldn't you be running out soon?

I'm curious about one thing.

You have an ancient aura, yet you've never used ancient power.

If you're a Reincarnator, is it possible your past life memory hasn't awakened? Without awakening, how can you know so much?

If you're a host... it's already come this far, why hasn't the power parasitizing within you erupted?

Fate-changer?

A diversion in altering destiny, causing a loss of power?"

"I said, I am Shi Fengchun!"

Shi Fengchun roared, his death energy surging with even greater ferocity.

"Brother Chun, I'm stepping in; leave it to me!"

Just then, Ye Chen's loud shout echoed.
