Two years later, in the Shrouding the Heavens World.

"Shrouding the Heavens, huh?" Shen Ye murmured, not particularly surprised by this outcome.

Since he had transmigrated physically, refining his physique was naturally his top priority. Therefore, before transmigrating, he had specifically burned a bit of his luck, hoping to cross into a world that emphasized physical cultivation.

"However, choosing this world might be a bit troublesome!" Shen Ye frowned slightly. He wasn't worried about any timeline issues; with the unique characteristic of the myriad realms and spatial-temporal rivers, the river of time couldn't touch him.

The real trouble was this world's "specialty"—the Law Creation Tribulation!

With his current small physique, one Law Creation Tribulation strike would turn him to dust!

"Good thing I didn't take any chances and brought Hua Yue along!" Looking at Hua Yue beside him, Shen Ye felt much more at ease.

The Law Creation Tribulation has two parts: "creation" and "law"!

Although Hua Yue also cultivated the methods of the Immortal Ancient World, she was a Living Puppet. Half of her magical power came from her own cultivation, and the other half came from him, her host.

This meant that the cultivation methods Hua Yue herself practiced were incomplete.

This was different from the initial creation of a law. While an initially created law was also incomplete, its general framework was already clear, and the rest was simply filling in and perfecting it, naturally gaining the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Dao.

But Hua Yue's incompleteness was a split down the middle, so it certainly couldn't be called a "law"!

Then there were the Automatons Shen Ye had crafted in his spare time over the past two years. The power source for driving the Automatons was the spiritual energy meridians inscribed within their bodies. This also couldn't be called a "law," but the problem was that Shen Ye currently couldn't control the Automatons with his magical power.

"Yue'er, take this for now." Shen Ye handed an oval, egg-shaped device to Hua Yue.

Hua Yue, who was observing her surroundings, was startled. She naturally knew that this was the combat Automaton, Xingtian One, its size reduced using spatial folding technology.

Meeting Hua Yue's questioning gaze, Shen Ye skillfully deflected the blame: "This is a test Venerable God Shennong gave me. To make me learn the cultivation methods of this world, he sealed all my magical power!"

Hua Yue didn't doubt him and accepted the Automaton: "Then I'll quickly go find a sect nearby and seize their cultivation techniques?"

"No rush, the situation in this world is still a bit complex!" Shen Ye waved his hand, lost in thought.

The path of the Shrouding the Heavens World was pioneered by Desolate Heavenly Emperor through immense wisdom and magical power, essentially a simplified version of cultivating oneself as a seed. But even a simplified version had a high cultivation threshold. The reason it could spread throughout this universe was that when Desolate Heavenly Emperor created the law, he scattered Dao seeds, giving back to heaven and earth, allowing all living beings in this universe the possibility of walking this path.

To retrace Desolate Heavenly Emperor's path from back then would naturally be a fool's dream, but with my current comprehension and the knowledge I gained in my previous life, it's not impossible to activate the Sea of Bitterness on my own. If all else fails, I can still use the Destiny Orb to directly cheat! Shen Ye pondered.

The main world was a fusion of the origins of Immortal Sword and Ancient Sword, far exceeding what he knew in his previous life. Furthermore, Great Goddess Nuwa could send people to the past, and Fuxi also had the ability to create divine races. Based on this, the Primordial Three Sovereigns were very likely to be powerhouses at the Immortal King level!

Of course, the Destiny Orb also affirmed this.

And he had inherited Shennong's Essence Blood. Although his bloodline concentration wasn't as high as the second generation descendants, it was at least at the third or fourth generation level.

How extraordinary was the aptitude of a third or fourth generation Immortal King bloodline? It was far beyond what the descendants of Great Emperors in this world could compare to.

As for his strength in his previous life, translated into this world, it was roughly at the Great Saint level.

Thus, he had aptitude, comprehension, and high-level experience and insight. Creating his own methods was certainly not an illusion.

After all, most of the great sect scriptures in this world were passed down by Saints, and Great Saint level scriptures were already very high-end.

"The only thing I lack now are scriptures strong enough to lay the foundation for the Great Dao. After all, my experience and insight are based on my previous life, and my understanding of this world's cultivation system is still superficial. The subsequent Dao Palace and Four Extremities stages can be self-created, but for the Sea of Wheels volume, which lays the foundation, it's best to choose existing scriptures from this world!"

"And among the Great Emperor level scriptures for the Sea of Wheels volume, the best and easiest to obtain is naturally the Dao Scripture!"

Two days later, Shen Ye and Hua Yue walked through a dark and eerie dense forest.

"Indeed, great minds think alike!" Shen Ye's expression was playful. After his understanding over the past two days, the orb had sent him to a time node just before the Azure Emperor's tomb was unearthed.

Clearly, the Destiny Orb wanted him to get involved in this event!

More accurately, it wanted him to stir up trouble!

"However, the existence of that madwoman is quite tricky!" Shen Ye frowned slightly. After he arrived at the Primeval Ruins outside the Spirit Ruin Cave Heaven today, the Destiny Orb immediately sent out a warning.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Ruthless Great Emperor's gaze was very likely watching over this land.

This wasn't him daydreaming. A single strand of hair from a Saint-level powerhouse could slay a mighty figure, and a drop of blood could obliterate thousands of troops. Yet, a dignified Great Emperor's mausoleum was being trampled by a group of "peerless powerhouses" at the Sea of Wheels and Dao Palace levels. To say that no Great Emperor was involved in this, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Even if this mausoleum wasn't the Azure Emperor's true tomb, it was definitely not a place people of this level could set foot in.

Although he inwardly grumbled, Shen Ye also felt somewhat fortunate. If it weren't for that empress's intervention, it would have been almost impossible for him to obtain the Sea of Wheels volume of the Dao Scripture.

"Next, we just wait for the mausoleum to open!" Thinking this, Shen Ye, with Hua Yue's help, quietly followed behind a few old demons.

Although he didn't believe a certain Great Emperor, who was utterly devoted to her brother, would notice him, he still disguised himself as a "mantis stalking the cicada" who had learned about the mausoleum by tracking the demon race, just to be cautious.

Most of these old demons were "powerhouses" at the first or second heavens of the Dao Palace realm. However, Hua Yue had undergone the baptism of the world's primordial essence, and her cultivation speed had greatly increased over the past two years. Coupled with the City of Flowing Moon supplying resources to both of them with the power of an entire clan, her current strength, translated into the Shrouding the Heavens World, was at least that of a "renowned expert" in the Four Extremities realm. These old demons naturally couldn't discover their tracks.

The deeper they went into the dense forest, the sparser the surrounding trees became. Instead, there were more and more dilapidated ancient buildings, and the spiritual energy grew denser, comparable to a blessed land.

Along the way, a faint green soul body from among the group of old demons flew towards one side of the dense forest. Before long, a handsome young man who appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old returned to the group.

Shen Ye knew that this person should be the old demon who had temporarily possessed Pang Bo, but he didn't pay it much mind.

Finally, these demons arrived near a volcano. In the magma of the crater, an ancient hall, shimmering with divine radiance, floated up and down, its bronze surface mottled, giving a sense of the passage of time.

However, besides these demons, the elders and sect masters of the Spirit Ruin Cave Heaven had also discovered the anomaly here and were currently in a tense standoff with the demons.

After a battle of words, both sides finally couldn't hold back and started fighting.

Amidst this chaotic battle, Hua Yue quietly led Shen Ye into the ancient hall on the magma, opened the main door, entered, and then decisively closed it, casting dozens of seals to firmly lock the door!
