Jing Yuxing seemed unable to see them, speaking to himself, "There is no legacy here, only some of my stories to share with visiting Daoists. Sometimes, experiences on the path to immortality are more valuable than resources."
"Indeed." Chen Xun's smile was gentle, "Thank you, Daoist, for the gift. After cultivating immortality for so many years, we've fallen into worldly ways."
"The paths to immortality differ, as do the insights. I hope the visiting Daoists find a clear path, and do not make the same mistakes I did. The vast scenery of cultivation is never about realms or spiritual roots."
"Hehe."
Chen Xun cupped his hands, smiling with emotion, "It seems the Daoist has already entered the Dao. Congratulations, it was presumptuous of us to enter this treasure land."
Jing Yuxing's vacant gaze suddenly turned to Chen Xun, as if gaining awareness, crossing life and death, crossing the river of time, meeting Chen Xun in this ordinary cave abode.
He said no more, but a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, cupping his hands towards Chen Xun.
Moments later, Jing Yuxing's phantom figure soared into the sky, completely dissipating in this eerie mine, without any earth-shattering events or strange phenomena.
Even the serene corpse sitting there gradually vanished with the wind, so free, so unrestrained...
Chen Xun returned Jing Yuxing's storage ring to the table, patting the still-entranced Black Bull, "Return these things, and those jade stones are unnecessary."
"Moo?"
"This is Daoist Jing's resting place, let's not disturb him further."
Chen Xun walked out slowly, hands behind his back, looking relaxed, "Besides, the origin of this mine is already clear, why be greedy, let it rest with Daoist Jing."
"Moo moo~" Black Bull nodded, quickly running to catch up, no longer worried, its nature different from Little Chi.
But as Chen Xun left, he kept one thing for himself, the jade token of Tianxuan Sacred Land.
On the road.
"Bull."
"Moo?"
"What do you want to eat? Today, this Dao Ancestor is in a good mood, willing to personally cook for the Bull Clan's Formation Emperor!"
"Moo moo?"
"Haha, indeed."
"Moo~~~"
...
Chen Xun walked alongside Black Bull, laughter echoing, gradually fading into the darkness, without taking a single piece of the finest Tianhang Jade Stone.
After they left, the secret realm was suddenly enveloped by a world-shaking formation, sinking continuously, never to appear again in the world.
