See Through Walls! Omniscient Domain! Three Immortal Islands! Traces of the Gate of Taboo! The Chaos Bead Appears!

"The whereabouts of the Chaos Bead..."

The name of a divine ability surfaced in Tang Xuan's mind.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Arts—See Through Walls!

It was said that the Chaos Bead had vanished ever since the Primordial World was created. Aside from transmigrators in various Primordial Era genre novels who obtained the Chaos Bead through all kinds of fortuitous coincidences, finding it through normal channels was completely impossible.

Tang Xuan naturally could not count on being as lucky as those transmigrators. If he wanted it, he would rely on his own abilities to take it. And See Through Walls could undoubtedly solve this problem for him.

He sensed the amount of Wish Origin he currently possessed.

Not bad. It felt great to see his plan finally getting back on track. In just this short while, he had accumulated over a thousand strands of Wish Origin again.

"Deriving it won't be completed immediately. This amount of Wish Origin is enough to boost my comprehension. Once it's used up, new Wish Origin will naturally appear."

Without hesitation, Tang Xuan decisively closed his eyes and used Wish Origin to transform into a boost to his comprehension.

He could hardly wait to attain the realm of the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed.

Compared to the previous two times he had derived divine abilities, Tang Xuan's derivation this time took much less time. In less than twenty thousand years, See Through Walls had already been completely derived by Tang Xuan. The process was a complete success.

"An Great Dao-level divine ability, See Through Walls... Complete!"

"See through everything and discern all mysteries. Nothing in the heavens or on earth can hide from its gaze. Any information within the universe can be detected, so long as one wishes to see it. Nothing inside or outside the Six Paths is beyond observation. Everything in the world can be grasped."

"If one's strength is sufficient, nothing beneath the Great Dao can remain hidden. It doesn't merely cover a single plane—the range is the entire... Myriad Worlds!"

Tang Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

If he combined it with Foreknowledge of the Future, wouldn't that achieve true omniscience?

Without thinking further, Tang Xuan took a deep breath, straightened his expression, cast aside his distracting thoughts, and immediately used See Through Walls to deduce the whereabouts of the Chaos Bead.

As a Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead naturally blocked the Heavenly Secrets and could not be deduced. However, beneath this Great Dao-level divine ability, See Through Walls, the so-called concealment from the Heavenly Secrets clearly could no longer hold.

After only a few breaths, as an invisible rumble seemed to resound in his mind, blurry images suddenly appeared before Tang Xuan's eyes.

"The East Sea... the Three Immortal Islands?"

"The Chaos Bead is on these Three Immortal Islands?"

Tang Xuan paused and stopped the deduction. A look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Three Immortal Islands, also known as Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang Island, were filled with mystery in many Primordial Era genre novels.

Some said that the Three Immortal Islands contained One of the Escapes. Others claimed that innate treasures were hidden within them. There were also claims that they contained Daoist scriptures, and all kinds of other theories.

Tang Xuan naturally knew about the Three Immortal Islands. He had even inspected them after bringing the East Sea under his control.

Tang Xuan knew nothing about the other Primordial Worlds, but at least in his Primordial World, the Three Immortal Islands had already appeared in the world. Moreover, there was nothing particularly special about them. At most, they could be considered a blessed grotto-heaven.

He remembered that in the later generations of the original trajectory, Penglai Immortal Island was within the range radiated by Tongtian's Daoist temple?

How could the Chaos Bead be on the Three Immortal Islands?

"Interesting. The most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"True and false, illusion and reality. They deliberately let the Three Immortal Islands appear in the world and look unremarkable to prevent others from probing them. In reality, they hid the Chaos Bead within the Three Immortal Islands?"

Tang Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a figure surfaced in his mind.

If the Chaos Bead had been hidden in the chaos or a spatial rift, or left behind in some minor world, that would have been normal. Yet it was on the Three Immortal Islands, and had even been hidden away. What this meant was self-evident.

Looking across the entire Primordial World, who had such ability? Who possessed such means?

There was no doubt. It could only be... Pangu!

"I remember Hongjun saying that the World-Creation Calamity also seemed to be related to the Gate of Taboo. Then what identity did Pangu have in all of this?"

"Perfect. I'll investigate his depths!"

Tang Xuan rose to his feet and took one step forward. His figure vanished, then appeared outside the Three Immortal Islands in the very same instant.

The Primordial World's waters fell within the range of his domain. As long as there was water, he could be everywhere and appear anywhere at will. Since the Three Immortal Islands stood in the East Sea, they were naturally no exception.

"Buzz!!!"

With one step, Tang Xuan directly entered the Three Immortal Islands. Before him, the concealment and sealing of the Primordial Formation seemed not to exist at all, utterly incapable of stopping him in the slightest.

At a glance, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang—each of the three immortal islands—was vast and magnificent, seemingly boundless.

Even stars were as tiny as dust before any one of the three immortal islands. Even a universe, placed within the Three Immortal Islands, would seem like a small river, boundless and seemingly impossible to reach the end of.

Immortal charm, divine radiance, and rosy light illuminated the Three Immortal Islands.

The Three Immortal Islands complemented one another, seemingly forming a Three Powers Formation that reinforced them mutually. From time to time, strange beasts could be seen playing and frolicking. Life flourished, making it truly resemble a sacred immortal paradise.

Yet beneath this scene of an immortal paradise, Tang Xuan could already see through See Through Walls just how many killing intents and dangers were hidden within.

Countless runes flashed through his eyes as Dao and laws intertwined. What entered Tang Xuan's vision were formations and divine restrictions hidden beneath the void, crisscrossing densely and seemingly sealing every corner of the Three Immortal Islands.

Not only that, faint black qi also permeated every corner of the Three Immortal Islands.

"The Gate... of Taboo!"

Tang Xuan uttered four words.

The Gate of Taboo!

That was right, it was indeed the Gate of Taboo!

He sensed the aura of the Gate of Taboo within the Three Immortal Islands. The Three Immortal Islands were related to the Gate of Taboo!

"Such an ominous place, yet Shangqing's Daoist temple is actually here?"

Tang Xuan sensed that something was wrong.

Tang Xuan did not know whether there was a problem with Tongtian of Shangqing placing his Daoist temple near the Three Immortal Islands in other Primordial Worlds. However, he knew that if Shangqing's Daoist temple was on the Three Immortal Islands in this Primordial World, then there was definitely a problem.

After pondering briefly, Tang Xuan looked up. Foreknowledge of the Future activated, and countless scenes of the future immediately appeared in the depths of his eyes.

With his current cultivation, once Foreknowledge of the Future was activated, even timelines more than a hundred kalpas into the future could be completely taken in by Tang Xuan.

Soon, Tang Xuan "saw" the scene of the Three Pure Ones proving the Dao. Shangqing's Daoist temple was indeed Jin'ao Island, still within the range radiated by the Three Immortal Islands!

"Interesting."

Tang Xuan smiled.

A coincidence?

He did not believe this was a coincidence.

There could only be a problem somewhere in all of this!

Suddenly, at that moment, waves of chaos qi spread from within the Three Immortal Islands. A gray bead appeared on Penglai Immortal Island and slowly rotated, as if silently saying, "I'm right here."

"Trying to lure me inside?"

Tang Xuan laughed.

Who said that taking the Chaos Bead meant he had to go inside?

Could this Gate of Taboo be an idiot? It was trying to fish, and had actually cast its line over his head?
