What Are Runes, Markers?
Suddenly, Cang Ling appeared beside Lin Tian.
He frowned, looking left and right. "My lord, this thing is very strange. Let me try it."
Immediately, Cang Ling used his primordial spirit power to try to investigate the rune.
Suddenly, an inexplicable power emerged from the rune, isolating Cang Ling's primordial spirit power.
"Um?"
Cang Ling groaned, his expression turning grave. "Strange? My primordial spirit power cannot penetrate it even slightly."
Lin Tian stared intently at the rune, then carefully examined the towering gate. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine. "Cang Ling, do you think this might be some kind of seal?"
"Seal?"
Cang Ling was taken aback, then a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, "Could it be that this rune is the key to opening this door? Like a key?"
Lin Tian's tone was deep and serious, "The Chaos Pearl's predecessor was the Primordial Chaos Pearl, Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasure. After the Primordial Chaos Shattered, it fell in rank and transformed into the Chaos Pearl."
"The runes on this door are probably remnants from the Primordial Chaos era, sealing something that may be related to the secrets of the Primordial Chaos."
At this point, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes. "However, since we're already here, we should at least open it and take a look."
Cang Ling nodded and grinned, "Then let's break it! I, your venerable self, will give it a try!"
Cang Ling's body glowed with green light as she attacked the rune directly.
"Call out!"
The rune only trembled slightly, and nothing else happened.
"What?!"
Cang Ling's pupils contracted. His strength was at the late stage of the Heavenly Dao Realm, yet he couldn't break through this rune?
"Let's attack together!"
Lin Tian shouted, his right hand forming a fist, God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand, thrusting towards the runes.
Cang Ling immediately unleashed his full power, refusing to believe that a mere rune couldn't be broken through.
"Break!"
The two attacked simultaneously, unleashing two powerful forces that struck the strange rune!
"Boom!!!"
This time, there was finally a response!
The runes suddenly burst forth with a blinding light, and then a surge of power erupted from them, colliding with their two attacks.
"Click... click..."
A soft cracking sound rang out.
In the center of the rune, among the three dots arranged in a triangle, a fine crack appeared at the topmost dot.
The cracks spread rapidly, expanding like a spider web.
"It works! Keep it up!"
Lin Tian's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he continued his attack.
Cang Ling roared, "Break!"
Boom!!!
The runes shattered completely under the combined onslaught of the two!
The rune shattered into countless golden particles of light, which drifted away and disappeared.
"It's finally broken."
What's behind the door?
Cang Ling gazed at the tightly closed door, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Push it open and you'll see."
Lin Tian stepped forward, gave a low shout, and pushed the door forcefully.
However, it remained completely still.
"Hmm?" Lin Tian frowned. Something's not right.
"I'm here to help you!"
Cang Ling stepped forward and retreated through the door with Lin Tian.
The giant gate remained closed, and there was no movement.
Cang Ling's face was filled with disbelief. "What exactly is going on? Wasn't the rune broken?"
Lin Tian remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head.
"Perhaps the rune isn't the key to opening the door, and we've all been wrong."
"Perhaps the time really isn't right."
He took one last, deep look at the tightly closed door.
"Let's go. It's time to get out."
Cang Ling could only sigh helplessly, "This gate is truly bizarre. Well then, Venerable One, we'll try again when your cultivation has improved further."
With a thought, Lin Tian withdrew from inside the Chaos Pearl.
Lin Dao Pavilion, Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes. The Chaos Pearl in his palm shimmered with light before disappearing into his body.
He got up and went outside.
Outside the door, Little Deer, Kong Xuan, the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, Lu Ya, Wu Zhiqi, Yuanfeng, and others were all present.
The Little Deer's face was full of worry, and her eyes were even a little red.
Kong Xuan and the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird looked on with admiration and awe, their eyes burning with passion. The others also showed concern and curiosity.
Lin Tian was taken aback. "What are you doing?"
"Master!" Little Deer rushed forward. "Are you alright? You scared Little Deer to death!"
"It's nothing." Lin Tian was even more puzzled, and patted the Little Deer's head. "Why do you say that?"
The impatient Golden-winged Great Peng Bird couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, speaking rapidly, "Dao Venerable! You don't know! Just now, the entire Three Immortal Islands where you were in seclusion were filled with strange phenomena! The sky darkened, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the earth shook! We thought something had gone wrong with your cultivation!"
Kong Xuan stepped forward and respectfully said, "Dao Venerable, the commotion just now was indeed extraordinary."
Lin Tian hadn't expected that the fluctuations caused by the Chaos Pearl's advancement would have such a huge impact on the Three Immortal Islands.
"Fortunately, the formation I set up confined the strange phenomena to the area of Three Immortal Islands. If they had spread, the entire Primordial World would probably have been alarmed."
He smiled at everyone and said, "It's nothing. I was just refining a magical artifact, and at a crucial point, I triggered some of the laws of heaven and earth, which startled everyone."
The anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.
"I see."
Lu Ya laughed, "Dao Venerable's Supernatural Power are vast; even refining a magic weapon can invoke such power of heaven and earth. This truly broadens our horizons."
"Alright, it was a false alarm." Lin Tian waved his hand. "Go back and cultivate, everyone."
Everyone bowed in unison. "Yes, Dao Venerable."
Yuanfeng only glanced at it before leaving with Kong Xuan and the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird.
Lin Tian felt inexplicably uneasy under Yuanfeng's gaze. "Why is that woman looking at me so strangely?"
The Primordial Chaos Realm.
The Star Sea Realm.
Deep within the palace of the Zi Yu Venerable Saint.
The Zi Yu Venerable Saint, who was sitting cross-legged on the high platform, suddenly opened his eyes!
"My backup plan has been foiled?"
A terrifying pressure erupted from his body!
"Boom!!!"
Everything inside the palace was crushed by this oppressive force in an instant!
"Your Venerable Lord?!"
"What happened?!"
Outside the palace, the panicked shouts and hurried footsteps of the guards could be heard.
Zi Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Damn it... damn it!"
Zi Yu's aura was unstable, and his body shone brightly.
That mark was something he secretly did during his battle with Dao Tian and Luo Li then.
It was finally activated some time ago, and the location of the treasure was discovered.
He was able to send people to seize the treasure, but now that the mark is gone, how can he find the treasure?
You must understand that in the Chaos Sea, all the Chaos World exist within Chaos bubbles; they are not fixed in one place. How could he possibly find them?
Moreover, he simply cannot conduct a large-scale search!
Those two old foxes, Yu Qi and Kan Tuanzi, have been secretly watching him!
Any unusual behavior from him will be immediately noticed.
At that time, the secret of the treasure will no longer be able to be kept!
"Good... very good..."
Zi Yu gritted her teeth.
He waved his hand and unleashed a beam of Purple Light, restoring all the palace's facilities to their original state.
"I have nothing to do. Disperse and return to your duties."
Although the guards were puzzled, they dared not ask any further questions and respectfully withdrew.
Zi Yu's eyes blazed with purple light, "Once I am fully healed, let's see where you can escape to, in heaven or on earth!"
"The Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasure is destined to be mine!"
