"Time anchor?"

At the Spirit Sect’s grand hall, Chongyuan showed a contemplative expression on his face, murmuring, "So this is how your Outer Realm Captain advances to the Legendary Ship. No wonder you don’t need a century of accumulation to ascend to legend; it’s quite novel."

Chongyuan clicked his tongue in amazement, "The person who discovered the method of advancing via time anchors must be a genius, and their realm definitely exceeds the Sky Dome Realm. Otherwise, they wouldn’t understand the intricacies of the Legendary Realm so well."

"A person?"

Fang Yu was taken aback and then shook his head, "It was someone among us Blue Star Captains who obtained a fortune and inadvertently learned this."

"Is that so?"

Chongyuan gave Fang Yu a surprised look, feeling somewhat strange in his heart, but he also didn’t want to delve into the details.

At this moment, after contemplating for a while, Chongyuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, just as he was about to speak.

But just then, Chongyuan’s pupils suddenly contracted fiercely, and in the next instant, his body felt like it was struck by lightning, and his previously strong Sky Dome Ship level aura instantly weakened.

It was as if a plant had suddenly been severed from its roots, leaving just the top part.

Though it wouldn’t wither immediately, it had already lost its life force.

As Fang Yu was comprehending Ocean Law, which included Life Law, his sense of life aura was incredibly clear.

At this moment, in Fang Yu’s perception, Chongyuan’s life aura was rapidly declining at an astonishing speed.

After sensing this, Fang Yu was extremely shocked, "Chongyuan, what’s happening to you?!"

"I..."

Chongyuan’s face turned ashen, he then spurted out a mouthful of blood, and within the blood, there was a heart wrapped in fungus, weakly pulsating, losing all vitality after a while.

He staggered, falling to the ground, his body convulsing.

Seeing this, Fang Yu quickly stepped forward, releasing the power of Life Law from within him, grasping Chongyuan’s wrist to transfer life aura, allowing Chongyuan to catch his breath.

"My true body was... killed!"

Chongyuan stared blankly ahead, with disbelief in his eyes.

"What?!" Fang Yu was shocked, "Killed? By whom?"

Chongyuan shook his head, panting heavily, "My memory conduit was severed, so I have no idea what happened, but my true body is indeed dead."

Gasping deeply, Chongyuan’s life force entirely relied on Fang Yu’s power to sustain it. Once Fang Yu’s hand left his body, his aura would plummet until his death.

Even so, the transmission of Fang Yu’s life aura only delayed the inevitable.

At this moment, Chongyuan was like a leaf without a stem; withering and decay were only a matter of time, the process irreversible.

"I’m done... I’m done..."

Chongyuan sighed, but having lived in this world for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, his mindset and thinking were unmatched, quickly regaining his composure.

His eyes moved constantly, pondering deeply.

After a moment, a wise glint returned to Chongyuan’s eyes. He grabbed Fang Yu beside him and solemnly spoke, "Fang Yu, if I’m not mistaken, the old Fisherman took Yuanqi and found my true body."

"Fisherman?" Fang Yu was astonished, "How could he know the location of your true body?"

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, Chongyuan remained silent, simply gazing deeply at Fang Yu.

Seeing Chongyuan’s expression, Fang Yu frowned, "You suspect me?"

"No!" Chongyuan shook his head, "I’m not suspecting you, but your power!"

"Hmm?"

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback but quickly understood, showing a stern expression, "You mean... part of my power has been infiltrated by Fisherman?"

"Yes!"

Chongyuan whispered, "Your breath and Fisherman’s both originate from the Ancient Holy Dragon Stone, essentially from the same source. To someone like Fisherman, who has lived for ten thousand years, what strange Secret Techniques hasn’t he seen? It’s not difficult for him to find a method to infiltrate powers of a common origin."

"Part of your power has likely been penetrated by Fisherman, and when you cleared the water poison from my body by infusing some of your power into me, Fisherman’s power stealthily entered my body and lay dormant."

"Only in this way could he precisely locate my position and kill my true body."

Upon hearing Chongyuan’s words, Fang Yu’s heart sank, and he looked at Chongyuan.

Just at that moment, Chongyuan’s gaze also settled on Fang Yu.

Their gazes crossed in mid-air, silently nodding to each other in understanding.

After a moment, Chongyuan laboriously turned, picked up pen and paper, and began writing extensively at the desk. He then placed the paper in a small box and handed it to Fang Yu:

"Power can be infiltrated, and the senses might also be penetrated. Fang Yu... I’ve written many things within, but for now, you must not open it."

Chongyuan’s life aura continued to fade, with perhaps only a few hours left to live.

Yet Chongyuan did not sink into despair, and instead earnestly spoke, "Fang Yu, listen, I know the kind of problem you’ll face in the future. For you, time accumulation in the Legendary Realm is crucial. I have a method that can infinitely enhance your accumulation."
