Lin Xuns safe return stunned everyone.

Even they were not confident to be able to return alive from the depths of the great wraith army but Lin Xun, a servant from a lower domain world, was able to do so!

It was very unusual!

Their expressions turned strange as they looked at Lin Xun, each having different thoughts.

They were all top figures of the world and regarded as geniuses of the younger generation. Naturally, they had amazing intelligence and judgment. They figured that Zhao Jingxuans servant wasnt as ordinary as they had thought.

As soon as Lin Xun returned to the ship, he sharply sensed the strange atmosphere. He knew everyone was surprised by his appearance.

Then, Lin Xun stumbled and almost fell into the Spirit Burial Sea. Zhao Jingxuan quickly stepped forward to support him onto the ship.

Lin Xuan, are you wounded? Zhao Jingxuan asked with worry.

NoIm fine" Lin Xuns face was pale to the point of transparent. Then, as if he was trying to prove that he was really fine, he stumbled to his feet and coughed out a mouthful of blood.

You have suffered such serious injuries, but you still claim that youre fine! Zhao Jingxuan grumbled.

Im really fine. Lin Xun grinned, but he immediately coughed violently again. His handsome cheeks grew even paler.

Stop pretending to be strong. Here, eat this. Zhao Jingxuan took out a blue-green pill that resembled a dragon eye and handed it to Lin Xun.

Thank you, Miss. Lin Xun bowed gratefully.

Junior Sister Zhao, I didnt expect your servant to be so amazing to return alive from the depths of the great wraith army. Its amazing. It really is amazing. Su Xingfengs expression was stern, and his comment was tinged with sarcasm.

Zhao Jingxuan raised her eyebrows, fuming inwardly. She couldnt stand Su Xingfeng anymore. This wasnt the first time he targeted Lin Xun.

However, before she could say something, Xiao Ran gave a gentle smile and said, Sometimes luck is also a part of strength. Well, as long as he comes back, thats the most important thing.

Both Zhao Jingxuan and Su Xingfeng kept quiet after he spoke.

Clearly, Xiao Ran had a very high status within the sect, and they dared not to disrespect him.

After this little incident, no one paid attention to Lin Xun anymore, which made Lin Xun breathe a sigh of relief. He didnt want others to be interested in him because he was too showy.

Lin Xun, why dont you go back to your room to rest first? Zhao Jingxuan whispered.

No, Im really fine. I just vomited some blood on purpose to pretend to be injured. Lin Xun whispered back.

Zhao Jingxuan glared at him through the corners of her eyes. So, you are not injured at all?

Lin Xun grinned.

You are terrible. You made me worry so much. The corners of Zhao Jingxuans plump lips twitched.

Hey, I had no other choice. I am already being targeted by Su Xingfeng. The rest will also target me if I am too amazing. It wont be good when that happens. Its wise to protect myself, right? Lin Xun shrugged.

Zhao Jingxuan was speechless. After a moment, she nodded, You did a good job. That is also the reason I told you to pretend to be a servant. After all, you are a rune founder. If they know about your true identity, many unexpected things may happen to you.

At that moment, a figure streaked across the sky in the distance and landed on the ship. He had the demeanor of a transcendent being, and his hair and beard were like snow. It was Elder Gao Yang!

Elder, youre back!

Elder, did you kill the Wraith King?

Xiao Ran and the others asked aloud one after another. They were relieved to see Gao Yang return. They no longer had to worry about who would take charge.

Although I failed to kill that guy, I managed to take away a piece of ego fragment from his body! Gao Yang smiled, but he looked a little discomposed.

His clothes were stained with blood, but there was unconcealable joy and excitement in his expression.

Everyone palpitated, and a covetous gleam appeared in their eyes. The ego fragment of a king was a supreme treasure. It contained their insights and experience in cultivation, and, if properly refined, provided immeasurable benefits to a cultivator.

It was no wonder that Elder Gao Yang was so excited.

While everyone was surprised, they couldnt help but feel envious.

The guy who fought against me was transformed from the remnant thoughts of an expert from ancient times. Even so, he possessed the strength of a Life Death Stage King. From this, we can imagine how powerful he was back then. I suspect he might even be a Saint in ancient times. Elder Gao Yang sighed.

Everyone palpitated again. A wisp of remnant thought that had survived endless years without being destroyed reached the Life Death Stage. How...how terrifying was that?

The figure of the Wraith King emerged in Lin Xuns mind, standing between heaven and earth with a crown on his head and a mysterious white bone staff in his hand. He scanned the world from a height, his power and might astonishing everyone!

Such a powerful existence had been transformed from the remnant thoughts of an expert in ancient times. It was too unbelievable.

However, Lin Xun was most surprised by the fact that Elder Gao Yang, a perfect Cyclic Derivation cultivator, stood his ground against the Wraith King and even captured an ego fragment of his opponent!

Lin Xun thought about it carefully, and he suddenly remembered the Myriad Bird Divine Furnace that Elder Gao Yang had summoned. He speculated that the treasure was the reason that Elder Gao Yang was able to do so.

After all, it was a precious treasure of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Elder Gao Yang to fend off a Life Death Stage King.

What was a Life Death Stage King?

An existence that began to comprehend life and death. A supreme existence that looked over the world!

The terrifying figures of that cultivation stage were almost invincible. It would be impossible for a great cultivator of the Cyclic Derivation Stage to defeat them.

Elder, I also have an ego fragment. Please take a look at it. Xiao Ran suddenly said aloud as a ball of light formed in the palm of his hand.

It was bright and glowing with mysterious ripples of dao.

All eyes were drawn to the ball of light.

Xiao Ran explained, I obtained it from the body of a wraith that I killed just now.

Elder Gao Yang took it in his hand and looked closer. This is indeed a shattered ego fragment of an expert from ancient times. It contains some of the experts experiences and insights. It is a pity that it is too damaged and incomplete.

Everyone let out a groan of disappointment.

But dont underestimate this object. It is still an ego fragment of an ancient expert Elder Gao Yang patiently pointed out.

Many powerful experts existed in ancient times, but only those able to leave behind residual thoughts were regarded as peerless characters. Their power was strong enough for them to leave markings and traces after their death.

Those residual thoughts matured through opportunities and were re-cultivated to become the wraiths they saw today.

Of course, ordinary wraiths were only transformed from resentment. Only the more powerful wraiths possessed ego fragments, which allowed them to become much stronger.

The Wraith King was one of the most representative figures.

Xiao Ran was able to collect a piece of ego fragment. Although it was damaged and incomplete, it still belonged to a peerless figure from ancient times and could be considered a treasure. It would no doubt be very beneficial to his cultivation if refined.

Understanding dawned on everyone after Elder Gao Yangs explanation, and excitement fluttered inside them. This was because Xiao Ran wasnt the only one who obtained an ego fragment in the battle.

Hey, if I knew about this, I would have specifically killed the wraith experts and snatched the ego fragments in their bodies. Wen Xiang sighed, frustrated that he had only obtained two ego fragments.

The others had a similar harvest as him and felt a little regretful that they missed such a good opportunity.

They were ego fragments of ancient experts and provided insights into the cultivation path in ancient times. They were no doubt invaluable if refined and understood.

Lin Xuns expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly palpitating with excitement. He had suppressed over a dozen wraith experts using the Nameless Pagoda.

Of course, he wouldnt tell anyone.

This is the Spirit Burial Sea. Although it is full of murderous spirits and riddled with dangers, there are many unimaginable opportunities hidden in it. For example, ego fragments are very rarely found even in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, Elder Gao Yang exclaimed emotionally.

Dont be discouraged, when you enter the Deva Secret Domain, there will be even greater opportunities for you to seize.

Everyones eyes gleamed.

After experiencing the battle, they all understood that the opportunities in Spirit Burial Sea were incredibly rare and completely different from those in the outside world!

They were full of anticipation for the Deva Secret Domain.

The ship set off, navigating across the vast and mysterious sea region. The area returned to its deadly silent state with thick dark fog.

Everyone returned to the cabins. They had all consumed a lot of energy in the battle and needed to rest and recover.

Elder Gao Yang was on the ship, so they were not afraid of any danger happening.

Lin Xun returned to his room, feeling a little bewildered. It seems that neither Xiao Ran and the others nor Elder Gao Yang noticed that the mysterious Buddha and graceful figure had appeared and disappeared

The mysterious Buddha and graceful figure undoubtedly possessed the strength of Life Death Stage Kings, or perhaps even were more terrifying. However, no one had noticed their appearance, and only Lin Xun faced them head-on

Could it be

They came for him?

No!

They came for the Broken Blade!

With a clang, Lin Xun took out the Broken Blade and studied it carefully once again.

He had obtained the ancient treasure from the Treasure Drop Blood Plain of the Ancient Spirit World and learned about its heaven-defying powers. He found that it was very mysterious and was in no way inferior to Shattered Tragedy Spear or Nine Dragons Cauldron despite being incomplete.

However, after what happened today, he realized the Broken Blade was more mysterious and powerful than he thought!
