Chapter 274
From a cliff high above, the Ivory Turtle craned its neck curiously. “How did these eighteen
immortals relinquish their legacy?”
vin fell from midair onto the altar, his consciousness blurred and his body uncontroble. He
tumbled off the stone tform and into a nearby pool with a ssh. Dazed, vin opened his eyes,
only to see through the mist of a bewitching beauty before him. Her delicate skin was like a dewy
rose, her radiance dazzling to behold.
"Did you do that on purpose?" E crossed her arms over her chest, concealing her generous
curves, which were outlined through her soaked clothing.
vin gazed at her, then slipped back into unconsciousness. He had just concluded the legacy, and
his mind was not yet fully withdrawn from the distant eons, unable to discern if the beauty before
him belonged to bygone millennia or the present.

"What''s wrong with you?" E quickly supported vin, cradling him in her arms.
Resting his head against the softness of her chest, vin drifted between sleep and wakefulness,
sometimes opening his eyes without focus, sometimes closing them with lips faintly moving as if
whispering. His body was restless, and his head rubbed against E’s bosom.
“If I find out you did this on purpose, you’ll regret it!” E scolded, half-annoyed, half-amused.
Cedrick and Mari, drawn by the noise, arrived to see vin’s face buried in E’s embrace,
comfortably ‘wriggling’ his head. Both wore expressions of awkward surprise.
“Is something amiss?” E teased, hugging vin’s head closer and winking at Mari.
“Carry on!” Mari turned and left without looking back.
“You two are well-matched!” Cedrick nodded. His cold expression and piercing gaze shed with
his words of approval.
“Good eye, we shall be happy indeed,” E giggled coyly.
High atop a craggy cliff, a small white turtle peered down to the spot where vin had fallen, then
scurried back into a cave behind it, staring intently at the ivory chain. Its eyes shone brightly with
excitement. “Break! You’ve promised that if someone takes up the legacy, I would be set free
immediately. Break, oh break already!”
vin was in a deep slumber, drifting in and out of consciousness, until the voice of the Chained
Spirit echoed within the Energy Core of the Energy Realm, slowly pulling vin back to reality.
“How are you?”
vin woke up, quickly bing aware of the changes in his body. His heart was pounding with
formidable life force, surging with astonishing power. He looked inward and saw his blood and heart
turned into a golden hue, both magical and shocking. Soon, he noticed something unusual about
his spine, as if extra bones had grown there. Could these be the Wings of Eternity? Were the fabled
Wings of Eternity real wings indeed?
The Chained Spirit could feel vin’s excitement. “Remember our agreement. Take me back to the
Celestial Domain of the East.”
“When I grow strong, I will take you back.”
“There’s no rush. We’ll speak more of it when you be an Archmage.”
“Is the Celestial Domain of the East far away?”
“You must traverse the perilous and chaotic Ancient Seas. Without the strength of an Archmage,
you’ll find it impossible to make even a single step in those waters.”
“What kind of ce is it?”
“You’ll know it when the futurees. For now, focus on your legacy. Golden Blood, Wings of
Eternity – these gifts will rival even the Shadowbringer’s might. I look forward to witnessing your
future achievements.”
“How much do you know about them?”
“No one truly understands them. It is for you to study and discover.”
