Aoki thanked him profusely.
At least he survived.
As long as the soul remains even if the physical body is gone, that's enough.
........
The Murong family.
"Is this the Green Origin Pearl? Such abundant vitality!"
Fang Chen sat in the living room, looking at the green sphere in his hand, and silently took out the vine-like object that Murong Qiao had given him.
"I wonder if this thing can absorb this green primordial bead?"
Fang Chen looked at the heavy, yellowish-brown root in his hand and brought it close to the green Origin Bead.
"Pop~~~"
When the two come close together, the root acts like a sponge, absorbing the endless green primordial energy of the pearl.
The green primordial bead instantly shrank in size.
The yellowish-brown roots were like greedy leeches, constantly absorbing the green primordial beads to grow stronger.
Gradually, the yellowish-brown rhizome was completely covered by the dark green sphere, and its appearance was no longer visible.
"That's strange. My spiritual sense has recovered to 70%, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't perceive the state inside!"
Fang Chen sat cross-legged to the side, quietly watching the fusion of the earthy yellow root and the green primordial pearl, a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Time passes.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Fang Chen discovered that the last trace of green in the Green Origin Pearl had disappeared.
The earthy yellow root that was enveloped by the Origin Pearl also disappeared, replaced by a flying knife—no, it should be said to be a blade.
The dark green blade was only the size of a thumb and very thin, almost as thin as a cicada's wing!
Fang Chen's divine sense landed on it, and he actually felt as if he was sinking into it.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Fang Chen quickly withdrew his divine sense and looked at the blade floating in the air with a flicker in his eyes.
Since he couldn't activate the item with his divine sense, Fang Chen waved his hand, and a surge of magical power rippled out, enveloping the blade. Then, he slowly extended his fingers and gently pinched it in his hand.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through him, and Fang Chen groaned, crying out, "Why does it hurt so much?"
Bright red blood flowed from Fang Chen's fingers and dripped onto the ground.
"I'm injured?"
Seeing the blood dripping onto the ground, Fang Chen was startled for a moment, then overjoyed!
He was fully aware of the strength of his own body.
This blade could cut my finger instantly.
That means this blade is no ordinary item!
"Huh? Where's the razor blade?"
Fang Chen opened his hand, but didn't see the blade, which made him a little strange.
He looked around but couldn't find any trace of a blade.
Finally, his gaze fell on the thumb and forefinger of his right hand.
On the pad of his thumb, there was a wound, and no more blood was flowing out. Fang Chen's divine sense entered his right arm and he was shocked to see that the phantom of the blade was hidden in his arm, completely integrated with the flesh.
"This...is this a form of recognition as a master?"
Fang Chen frowned as he looked at the blade.
He discovered that he couldn't control the blade with his divine sense. What kind of recognition of a master was this?
Damn it, is this supposed to be a place to stay?
Fang Chen instantly had a bad feeling.
"I remember in the original 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality' series, there was a Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword. Its creation process is extremely similar to that of this blade. I wonder if this thing has any connection with that Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword?" Fang Chen muttered to himself.
This root reminded him of the Mysterious Heavenly Vine from the original drama, which eventually evolved into the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit-Slaying Sword, a divine artifact.
........
Right now.
Fang Chen was studying the blade embedded in his arm.
In the Spirit Realm, within an endless sea, a continent shrouded in endless weapons is slowly shifting.
This continent is vast, spanning tens of millions of miles in circumference. It is shaped like a turtle and slowly roams the sea.
