Thinking back to what had happened, Fang Chen was even more convinced that Zhenren Hantian had left behind those scenes for the sake of letting future generations see the King's Heart.
Oh dear.
Could it be that Zhenren Hantian had predicted that the King's Heart would gradually gain vitality and come back to life after a few years?
Why hadn't anyone else discovered this garden? Why was he the only one who had entered?
Fang Chen's heart was filled with doubts.
However, the most important thing right now was how to deal with this heart.
The heart in the box was beating rapidly. Fang Chen could even sense that this King's Heart seemed to be coming back to life.
Fang Chen looked at the King's Heart in the wooden box nervously. At this moment, the King's Heart beat even faster.
A strong aura of the Yellow Springs Sect emanated from the heart.
Fang Chen couldn't help but take a few steps back as he stared at the King's Heart.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the palace. Immediately after, an illusory figure gradually appeared above the King's Heart.
As soon as this illusory figure appeared, it immediately suppressed the restless King's Heart. The King's Heart in the wooden box instantly quieted down and stopped beating.
However, Fang Chen could sense that the King's Heart was only temporarily suppressed. It still had vitality.
Fang Chen looked up at the illusory figure above the wooden box and was instantly stunned.
Wasn't this Zhenren Hantian? He was dressed in white and had the demeanor of an immortal. He still looked the same as before. He hadn't changed at all.
"Zhenren Hantian!" Fang Chen cried out involuntarily.
In front of the chessboard, Fang Chen saw a scene from the past. In that scene, Zhenren Hantian was dressed in white and had the demeanor of an immortal. He was playing chess with a fat old man dressed in black.
Was this Zhenren Hantian's remnant consciousness? Fang Chen was filled with doubts.
Just as Fang Chen was wondering, Zhenren Hantian spoke.
"This is the scene I left behind before I died. My soul has long been scattered."
Hearing Zhenren Hantian's words, Fang Chen was startled, but immediately understood. Back then, Zhenren Hantian had completely fallen, and even his soul had been shattered. The phantom before him was only left behind before his death.
"Back then, I built a mansion here and killed a large number of Yellow Springs Sect members. In the end, I attracted a king of the Yellow Springs Sect. He fought with me for three days and three nights, but in the end, he perished together with me," Zhenren Hantian said.
"When you saw my shadow, it meant that you had seen everything on the chessboard.
That's right. I intentionally left that chessboard behind because I knew that I didn't have the slightest chance of winning against the King of the Yellow Spring Sect. So, I had to leave something behind. "
"However, what I didn't expect was that the fat black-clothed old man who was playing chess with me, who had always been close to me, was actually the king of the Yellow Springs Sect when the king appeared. At that time, my heart was like dead ashes."
"After the battle with the King, he finally chose to perish together with him. His entire body was destroyed, and even his soul was shattered, leaving only the King's heart.
I was lucky not to die on the spot. I used my remaining life to seal the King's heart in this palace, and then tampered with the chessboard. "
"The King of the Yellow Springs Sect was abnormally capable. I didn't completely destroy him and let him leave the heart behind. I was worried that he would take the opportunity to revive in the future, so I left behind all kinds of clues, waiting for the fated person to come here."
Hearing this, Fang Chen understood.
No wonder when he first saw the fat old man in black, there was a hint of a complicated expression in the latter's eyes.
It turned out that he was one of the Kings of the Yellow Springs Sect.
Fang Chen could imagine how Daoist Master Han Tian felt when he found out about this. His heart must have been like dead ashes.
His close friend was actually the King of the Yellow Springs Sect.
At this time, Fang Chen thought of the second scene he saw. Not long after the fat old man in black left, there was suddenly a trembling sound. Then, Zhenren Hantian turned his head, and his expression changed drastically, as if he was facing a great enemy.
At this time, the King should be saving the remnant souls suppressed by Zhenren Hantian.
When Zhenren Hantian saw this, he was shocked.
Fang Chen's deep eyes looked at the phantom and continued to listen.
"When you see the King's heart, I hope you can think of all the warriors of the Ancient Sword Continent and take it away, then find a way to destroy it. Otherwise, when it completely revives, it will be a disaster for the Ancient Sword Continent," Zhenren Hantian continued.
Fang Chen glanced at the King's heart and didn't say anything.
"Fated one, if you can destroy the King's heart, you will obtain my life's work," said Zhenren Hantian.
What really attracted Fang Chen was Zhenren Hantian's last sentence. But he also knew that destroying the King's heart was too difficult.
"Senior, I will do my best." Fang Chen cupped his hands.
At this time, Zhenren Hantian's phantom disappeared, and the suppressed King's heart began to beat once more.
Without Zhenren Hantian's suppression, the King's heart became abnormally active.
Fang Chen looked at the King's heart and clicked his tongue. He didn't know what to do with it.
At this time, he could only ask Ancestor Bronze.
"Ancestor, what should I do with this King's heart?" asked Fang Chen.
Ancestor Bronze said, "With your current cultivation base, you can't completely destroy it.
But … "
"But what?" Fang Chen hurriedly asked.
"If you can bring the King's heart out, perhaps the Little Mouse will be able to eat it."
Fang Chen was startled. Soon after, a smile appeared on his face. Why did he not think of this?
Back then, the Little Mouse had been able to crush the Yellow Spring Sect's sect master's finger. What was a mere King's heart?
The difference between the King of the Yellow Spring Sect and the Sect Master was simply too great. The difference was like heaven and earth.
Thinking of that, Fang Chen smiled. "It seems that if I want to completely destroy the King's heart, I'll have to wait until I leave this place."
"But once I leave, even if I destroy the King's heart, I won't be able to obtain Zhenren Hantian's life's work." Fang Chen suddenly thought of something.
The life's work of a high level Spirit Vortex Realm expert was extremely attractive to Fang Chen.
"Zhenren Hantian, I have a way to destroy the King's heart, but I'll have to wait until I leave this place. Can you give me your life's work in advance?"
Fang Chen didn't know if Zhenren Hantian could hear him, so he shouted directly.
But no one responded.
Seeing this, Fang Chen's face was filled with helplessness.
"What a pity. If only the Little Mouse was here, I could've dealt with it directly," Fang Chen said helplessly.
In the end, Fang Chen could only put the King's heart into his interspatial ring.
Then, Fang Chen called the Banxianshu and prepared to leave.
"Let's go," Fang Chen said.
The Banxianshu reluctantly walked down from the pile of bones and entered the special interspatial ring.
Just as Fang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly froze. His face was filled with shock, and he immediately took out the King's heart.
Dong!
The King's heart was beating rapidly. It had just been absorbing the spirit stones in Fang Chen's interspatial ring.
"It's actually absorbing the energy in the spirit stones," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
If the King's heart absorbed enough spirit stones, it might be able to revive. Fang Chen couldn't take this risk.
After thinking for a while, he put the King's heart into the special interspatial ring and let the Banxianshu watch over it.
Dong
The King's heart kept beating, but with the Banxianshu watching over it, Fang Chen was no longer worried.
He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and find the life's work that Zhenren Hantian had mentioned.
Huala
All of a sudden, the golden heart in Fang Chen's body started beating faster.
"What's wrong with the golden heart?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
The golden heart had been silent for a long time, but now it was beating rapidly.
Every time the golden heart beat rapidly, it was accompanied by some opportunity. Was it the same this time?
Fang Chen's eyes lit up. He observed the golden heart while looking around.
Dong
The golden heart released a powerful suction force that came out of Fang Chen's body and entered the special interspatial ring.
Huala
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, the King's Heart disappeared. Next, Fang Chen discovered that the King's Heart had silently entered his body.
"Could it be that the golden heart wants to devour the King's heart?" Fang Chen was shocked.
From what Fang Chen knew, the golden heart would only devour the energy in spirit stones. How could it be interested in the King's heart?
Hiss!
Under Fang Chen's gaze, the King's heart was slowly being devoured by the golden heart.
Roar!
As the King's heart was devoured, a deafening roar filled the air. Fang Chen guessed that it was the King's heart.
But in the face of the golden heart, a mere King's heart was nothing.
In the blink of an eye, the King's heart disappeared, and the golden heart's beating became much slower.
Fang Chen examined it and didn't find any changes.
However, the moment the King's heart disappeared, the entire palace changed.
