Chapter 7: Fusion of the Immortal Corpse, Phoenix Clan Marriage Contract!

“Residual consciousness of the immortal corpse?”

Chen Fan was surprised.

Does this inheritance come from this immortal corpse?

But when he dripped blood to obtain the inheritance, he didn’t feel the presence of the immortal corpse’s consciousness.

“The host has one free fusion opportunity remaining.”

“May I ask if the host wishes to fuse the immortal corpse with the jade pendant?”

The system inquired.

“After fusion, can the immortal corpse be revived?”

Chen Fan was somewhat eager.

If he really had an immortal following him, wouldn’t he become invincible in this world instantly?

“Her consciousness is too fragmented.”

“Even after fusion, it won’t bring her back to life.”

“However, there is a chance that her consciousness, through fusion, may nourish and grow additional consciousness.”

“In the future, even if the host doesn’t repair her, with time, she has a high probability of being reborn.”

“Moreover, after fusion, if the host proceeds with repairs, more points can be saved.”

The system explained the benefits of fusion.

“One free fusion opportunity, and I only get this much benefit?”

“However, saving a lot of points can compensate for that.”

Chen Fan found himself a bit conflicted.

“Then, let’s fuse!”

After a long moment of thought, Chen Fan decided to follow the system’s suggestion.

No matter how much he understood the system, it was still more knowledgeable than he was.

Saying this, Chen Fan pressed the jade pendant against the immortal corpse’s forehead.

In the next moment, a white light emerged from the palm of his hand, enveloping both the immortal corpse and the jade pendant.

Slowly, the jade pendant that was pressed against the corpse’s forehead began to melt, turning into vibrant jade liquid that seeped deep into the immortal corpse.

As the jade liquid flowed, the immortal corpse’s skin became translucent and sparkling.

After a long while, the jade liquid disappeared, completely merging into the immortal corpse.

Chen Fan noticed that the immortal corpse’s forehead no longer had the coldness it had before.

Faintly, the once dull eyes seemed to regain a trace of light.

This sensation was strange.

The immortal corpse’s eyes were clearly closed, but Chen Fan felt as though he could see her eyes, which seemed to be observing him.

The fusion was successful!

Chen Fan naturally understood why he had this feeling.

“Mm?”

Chen Fan was slightly surprised. He felt a presence coming from the immortal corpse.

A faint, indescribable aura.

“This should be the aura of an immortal.”

“Although the immortal corpse hasn’t come to life, after fusing her consciousness, she can be considered in a state of pseudo-death.”

“However, due to the erosion of endless years, this immortal corpse has lost all vitality, immortal might, and energy—petrified. Even if her remaining consciousness fuses, there is not much it can do…”

Chen Fan silently analyzed.

“Thank you…”

In the depths of his mind, Chen Fan heard an incredibly weak, ethereal voice.

“No need to thank me…”

Chen Fan came to his senses. He knew it was the immortal corpse’s consciousness conveying its gratitude, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.

“The treasure map…”

He took out the animal skin from his arms and found that it was like a wordless heavenly book, with no patterns or characters.

Yet the more blank it was, the more significant the treasure map seemed.

It was sealed.

To unlock the seal, the simplest and most direct way would be to repair.

However, repairing would require a lot of points.

Soon, Chen Fan put away the treasure map.

After all, unlocking the seal now wasn’t something he was qualified for. He didn’t have enough points either. Staring at it longer wouldn’t help, mainly because his cultivation level was too low.

“Phoenix Bone Blade!”

He took the short blade hanging from his waist and pulled out a strand of hair, placing it lightly against the blade.

It snapped!

The hair broke into two the moment it touched the blade.

Cutting hair with a blade?!

No, it was far beyond that!

Chen Fan then took out his own steel kitchen knife and lightly tapped the blade.

With a “clang!” the kitchen knife shattered.

“Just the sharpness and hardness alone make it an unparalleled divine weapon!”

“Moreover, its fierce might has been completely sealed!”

Chen Fan marveled endlessly.

Then, he squeezed a drop of fresh blood and let it fall onto the Phoenix Bone Blade.

The Phoenix Bone Blade showed no reaction, not absorbing the blood. It seemed it couldn’t recognize him as its master.

“Is it because the seal hasn’t been unlocked yet?”

“Or is it that my blood is being rejected…”

Chen Fan was somewhat self-deprecating, but he knew that, with his current weakness, he wasn’t qualified to make this divine weapon recognize him as its master, nor could he control a weapon that had been sealed.

“System, you said this is a marriage contract token?”

Chen Fan confirmed the question.

“Yes!”

“This is a marriage contract with the Phoenix Clan!”

“The Phoenix Bone does not emerge, and the Phoenix Clan does not marry!”

“Host, you must make sure to cherish this…”

The system explained solemnly.

“The Phoenix Bone does not emerge, and the Phoenix Clan does not marry!”

“This is a marriage contract token with the Phoenix Clan?”

“From what I understand, as long as I reach that realm and bring this Phoenix Bone, I can directly marry a Phoenix woman?”

Chen Fan couldn’t help but daydream, but quickly returned to reality.

Everything in the end depended on strength. Without strength, this Phoenix Bone would just be a precious treasure that could bring disaster to him.

Finally, he put away the Phoenix Bone Blade and looked out the window.

The day had already broken.

“It’s time to heal Medusa’s injuries…”

Chen Fan smiled.
