Although a Mental Control mark was imprinted in the minds of the Ghost King and the others, they have yet to awaken.

"Ling Feng, come here for a moment. I have something to give you!" Baize said lightly, "Consider it my farewell gift to you."

"Farewell?" Ling Feng was taken aback, "Senior Baize, aren't you coming with us?"

Baize shook his head, "Waiting for your arrival was just my first task. There are other tasks I need to complete next. All I can do is provide you with some material assistance!"

Baize did not explain what other tasks he had, and naturally Ling Feng felt embarrassed to ask further.

Following Baize, Ling Feng discovered that Baize had brought him to the space behind the screen, before the Bronze Gate.

"This cave residence was created back in the day when Yujizi refined a Sky Spirit Stone, transforming it into the current residence!" Baize said, "Yujizi was a Formation master; it took him centuries to reform this Sky Spirit Stone, and this is just the foyer; there's an even larger space behind!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but gasp, "This residence is inside a stone?"

Baize chuckled and nodded, "Indeed, the space we're currently in is actually within a palm-sized stone. The study of Formations is vast and profound. Unfortunately, Yujizi was sneakily attacked and fatally wounded by someone from the Divine Realm, and his exquisite Formation knowledge couldn't be passed down."

"Beyond the residence is a plantation. I planted some herbs in it when I was idle; I hope they may be useful to you!" Baize looked at the front Bronze Gate, "Inside is the Formation's central control; I'm finally giving it to you, and as long as you can control the Formation's center, you will be the master of this residence!"

Ling Feng's eyes widened; he never expected Baize's final gift to him would be the entire residence! This was beyond Ling Feng's expectations.

"So how can I obtain the Formation's center?" Ling Feng asked with some helplessness after his initial excitement, "I'm not very skilled with Formations!"

Ling Feng's expertise only extended to the Formations within the Mechanical Core of the Atlantis Continent's Divine Clan, which were very different from Yujizi's Formations.

Baize smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no danger. When Yujizi was dying, he sealed a part of his Divine Sense behind this Bronze Gate. If you enter and get Yujizi's approval, you will become the master of the residence!"

Ling Feng showed a trace of surprise and cautiously asked, "Senior Baize...may I ask, what is Lord Yujizi's temper like?"

Baize tilted his head thoughtfully and said, "Yujizi was quite suave in life, but after death, being sneak-attacked and killed surely carried some resentment, which is normal. Don't worry, it's fine!"

Ling Feng grimaced; this didn't seem fine at all!

"Um, Senior Baize, could we possibly discuss this? I can take the items, but I don't need the residence!" Ling Feng laughed awkwardly, "Look, I have the Devil's Ring on my hand, which is also a Spatial Divine Artifact. I can fit all the items here without any problem!"

Baize looked at Ling Feng with a half-smile, "I say...are you afraid?"

Ling Feng shrugged and replied, "Senior, it's not fear; I feel like accepting something for nothing isn't right. Besides...this residence is Yujizi's labor of love—if I just take it, I won't feel at ease!"

"What a lot of nonsense!" Baize rolled his eyes, then swung his tail to sweep Ling Feng into the Bronze Gate. With a creaky sound, the Bronze Gate opened, and Ling Feng was thrown inside with a scream.

Baize looked at the Bronze Gate and sighed, "Old fellow, I've completed the task I promised you, and now it's time for me to fulfill my last duty! Old friend, farewell. If there's a next life, let's drink a few cups together again!"

Saying that, Baize's tail flicked, and his entire body slowly disappeared within the residence.

Sucked into the Bronze Gate, Ling Feng felt a powerful force pulling at his body, seemingly wanting to drag him into an unknown depth.

"Hahaha, I, Yujizi, have finally waited for this moment!" As a burst of laughter echoed, Ling Feng regained control over his body, turned around, and saw an elderly man with white hair and a beard scrutinizing him.

"Senior Yujizi?" Ling Feng cautiously asked.

Yujizi waved his hand, "Yes, I am Yujizi. You must be Ling Feng, the Holy Emperor's disciple?"

"How did you know, Senior?" Ling Feng asked curiously.

"Hmph, everything within the Sky Spirit Stone cannot escape my gaze!" Yujizi said proudly, "Although now I'm just a Remnant Soul, I know the residence inside out! Ling Feng, since you're the Holy Emperor's disciple, I'm willing to hand over my residence to you!"

Ling Feng's heart leaped with joy; being a Holy Emperor disciple really came in handy; he got Yujizi's approval so quickly!

"But..." Yujizi Senior sighed, "I entered the path through Formations and have dominated for thousands of years, only to be sneakily attacked by those Divine Realm bastards. Moreover, my life's Formation legacy isn't passed down to anyone—a truly lamentable situation!"

Ling Feng pursed his lips; he seemed to understand now—apparently, things weren't just falling into his lap!

Yujizi looked at Ling Feng and sneered, "Hey, youngster, don't you have any manners? Shouldn't you step up now and declare your intent to inherit my Formation legacy?"

Ling Feng shook his head, "Senior, biting off more than one can chew is never wise. I don't have much energy to dedicate to Formation research right now, and my time is limited. If possible, I'll surely find a suitable successor for you in the future!"

Yujizi sneered, "Do you know this Bronze Gate suppresses my Remnant Soul, preventing it from dissipating? Once opened, my Remnant Soul will entirely dissipate within ten days."

Ling Feng was shocked, "How could this be!"

Yujizi said calmly, "Do you think sealing the Remnant Soul is an effortless task? Let me tell you, I, Yujizi, don't have that much time left. So...you are the most suitable candidate in my eyes. I want you to inherit my Formation legacy, and in the future, make my Formation craft flourish!"

Ling Feng's mouth curled into a bitter smile, "I figured as much, Senior. What do I need to do?"

"It's simple; I know you lack Formation background. I'll start you from the most basic Formations!" Yujizi waved his hand, and countless Formations appeared float around Ling Feng, making him feel dizzy.
