The night wind blew fiercely. The Royal Sparrow flew out of the jungle, soaring quickly over the vast Beast Wasteland. The occasional red and green eyes of the beasts in the jungle flashed by like beacons seen from a high-speed train in a past life.
Half an hour later, the Royal Sparrow brought Xu Feng into a stone cave.
A soft light illuminated the surroundings of the cave, revealing dozens of fist-sized Night Pearls embedded in the stone walls. Xu Feng couldn't help but gasp in amazement; my God, if this were in my past life... I can't even imagine.
This was a simple Stone Manor, with a corridor tall enough for a person to stand in. The inner room was about five zhang wide, and there was a door on the left side, indicating that there was another stone chamber inside. Outside the cave, it was pitch black, and shadows occasionally flew by, leaving an echo in the emptiness.
At the cave entrance stood a stone door. With a flap of its wings, the Royal Sparrow pushed the massive stone door shut. Stepping onto the glowing ground, both Xu Feng and the sparrow entered the inner room.
The Royal Sparrow extended one of its wings toward the stone chamber inside, seemingly indicating for Xu Feng to go in.
The stone chamber had no door and was furnished very simply. A two-foot-wide stone bed lay horizontally against one wall, with a three-legged stone table beside it; there was nothing else inside.
In the center of the stone bed lay a Skeleton.
"The Royal Sparrow brought me here most likely for this Skeleton," Xu Feng thought. Sure enough, upon seeing the Skeleton, the Royal Sparrow's gaze softened and turned sorrowful. Its golden wings gently brushed away the dust on the stone bed, even though there wasn't a speck of dust present.
Upon closer inspection of the Skeleton, Xu Feng couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
The Skeleton resembled that of an adult male, except its leg bones were slightly longer than usual. What shocked Xu Feng was that its body was shattered; there was hardly a single intact bone. Even the skull had a noticeable crack in it, while hands, feet, ribs, and vertebrae were all broken, with several parts already shattered. It was evident that this person must have suffered unimaginable injuries in life; there was only one possibility for how he ended up here...
Xu Feng looked at the Royal Sparrow, which happened to turn its head back at that moment.
The Royal Sparrow quietly observed Xu Feng for a while; it was unclear what it was thinking. After some time, it turned around and picked up a fiery red ring from one of the Skeleton's fingers and placed it on the stone table beside the bed before gesturing for Xu Feng to take it.
Xu Feng had already noticed the ring and understood it was an item belonging to the deceased. However, without the Royal Sparrow's consent, he could never take it. Now that it had given him permission, Xu Feng felt his entire body tense up as if his heart might stop. He knew that a significant opportunity lay before him; whether it would bring fortune or misfortune could only be revealed through action.
The red ring had no embellishments; it was simply a plain red band. Such designs were typically worn only by ordinary commoners on Xuan Continent. The ring's diameter was somewhat large; after trying it on, Xu Feng found that only his thumb fit perfectly.
At that moment when Xu Feng slipped on the ring, something incredible happened.
He felt his Wood Element spiritual energy subtly flow into his hand as if he heard a faint sound—whoosh! The ring vanished from between Xu Feng's fingers.
This is a storage spirit artifact!
At the same time, a new scene appeared in Xu Feng's mind.
In a space measuring ten feet in diameter, there was a Wooden Rack, beside which a faint figure was weakly looking at Xu Feng.
"Fated one, do not be surprised. Just listen to me; my time is limited," the figure said.
Before Xu Feng could gather his thoughts, the figure continued, "This is my ring space. Yes, the ring you just wore. It is a Spatial Ring, and I call it Blazing Ambition."
"I am using the last bit of my spiritual energy to project this image to you. I do not know how long it will last; I will soon dissipate." The figure had an average build, a blurred face, and legs that even women would envy.
"This is a cliff located thousands of miles away from Beast Wasteland. A Qi brought you here, right? Do not blame it; I instructed it to do so."
So that Royal Sparrow was named A Qi. Xu Feng realized that this was all prearranged by the other party, and he had no chance to interject.
"I know you possess the Five Spiritual Roots aptitude. If it weren't for this aptitude, A Qi would not have brought you here, and you wouldn't be able to open this ring. A Qi is a strange beast that can see through a person's Five Element Attributes."
"With Five Element aptitude and a Brave Heart, this is the prerequisite for practicing my Control Vein Technique. In the eyes of cultivators, having Five Spiritual Roots is akin to being an ordinary person. If I am correct, your journey in cultivation has not been smooth."
The person was spot on; most cultivators with normal Five Spiritual Roots aptitude had given up on the idea of cultivation and chose to live as carefree mortals instead. Life is fleeting in just a hundred years. However, Xu Feng, as a transmigrator, was not an ordinary person. Although his path was not ideal, it was passable.
"A Qi has been with me for quite some time and shares a bond with me. Since A Qi found you, it means we are fated. As long as you are willing, you can become my successor."
"You can also choose not to learn; A Qi will take you away. It was injured when it saved me last time, so I cannot guarantee it can safely escort you out..." The voice was very kind, but Xu Feng felt a shock inside. He realized he was already part of this person's design; although this individual meant no harm, this place was not somewhere one could come and go freely.
The figure pointed towards the Wooden Rack beside them. "In the first compartment of this Wooden Rack is a book; it is my self-created Control Vein Technique. I cannot teach you anymore; my Cultivation Method does not require teaching but relies on personal comprehension. As long as you finish the Earth Control chapter, you can walk freely in Liuxiang Kingdom."
What an audacious claim—walking freely in Liuxiang Kingdom?
Xu Feng almost drooled at the thought but hesitated again; everyone claimed their Cultivation Method was supreme, yet how many truly had an unrivaled Cultivation Method?
Suddenly, the figure swayed, and the entire image became fainter as if it could dissipate at any moment. Realizing time was running out, it quickened its speech.
"Underneath the Wooden Rack is a box; deliver it to Qiu Wuling of New Moon Sect. If she is no longer around, give it to her descendants. This is my only request of you. My name is Jin Liaoyuan..."
Jin Liaoyuan! The master of the Royal Sparrow that Lu Dishi mentioned—Jin Liaoyuan! It really was him.
Xu Feng hurriedly said, "Wait! I have questions for you..."
The shadow faded away, and Xu Feng only heard his name in the final moments: Jin Liaoyuan!
After Jin Liaoyuan disappeared, the scene in Xu Feng's mind also vanished. He understood that this was due to the Spatial Ring. With a thought, he entered the ring's space again, but Jin Liaoyuan was no longer there; only a Wooden Rack quietly stood inside.
Emperor Sparrow Aqi looked dejected, seemingly aware of Jin Liaoyuan's last flicker of consciousness fading away.
Xu Feng felt a pang of sorrow. Reflecting on how he was saved by Royal Sparrow and received the Spatial Ring, he realized that although he had no formal master-disciple relationship with Jin Liaoyuan, they had already formed a bond. It seemed destined that he would inherit his legacy and resolve all the debts and grievances left behind.
Unable to hold back, Xu Feng walked to Jin Liaoyuan's remains and bowed deeply according to the customs of Xuan Continent.
"Disciple Xu Feng pays respects to my master, thanking him for his recognition." Xu Feng knocked his head three times, thus establishing their master-disciple relationship. A Qi watched him with a look of relief; after all, A Qi should be considered Xu Feng's senior brother.
Jin Liaoyuan was dead; this master must have been a person of great renown, having even been hunted by the New Moon Sect. However, as Xu Feng had just reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement, he was still powerless to change anything.
Perhaps only by becoming stronger could he have the ability to confront his master's past grievances.
