Precious Treasure
She blinked, realizing what Zi Yuan meant. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly took out the so-called treasure.
In reality, it's just those few stones, the key to unlocking the Purple Abyss Divine Realm.
"Senior Zi Yuan, this is not a treasure in the traditional sense. It is the key to unlocking the Purple Abyss Divine Realm."
Upon hearing Yun Xi's words, Zi Yuan seemed to freeze in that instant. His originally upright posture paused slightly, his expression instantly frozen, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
He had originally envisioned this treasure in his mind as a powerful artifact that could elevate his strength to a new level, or perhaps an extremely rare and special spiritual object.
However, Yun Xi's words about "the key to unlocking the Purple Abyss Divine Realm" shattered all his assumptions.
Zi Yuan stood there, the shock in his eyes lingering. His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was momentarily speechless. His mind raced, trying to process this sudden news.
After a while, Zi Yuan finally came to his senses, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with doubt.
He shook his head gently, his confusion deepening, and murmured, "However..." These two words seemed to be his attempt to organize his thoughts and clarify his bewilderment.
Then, he stared intently at Yun Xi and asked, "What do you mean by unsealing the Purple Abyss Divine Realm?" Although his voice was steady, Yun Xi could still hear a hint of confusion and urgency hidden within it.
In Zi Yuan's understanding, the Purple Abyss Divine Realm was just an ordinary divine realm. He remembered that there was a magnificent Purple Crystal Mountain there. That Sacred Mountain soared into the clouds, its body shimmering with purple light, as if it were a masterpiece of nature's divine craftsmanship.
Although there is Sacred Mountain like Purple Crystal Mountain, what does that have to do with lifting the lockdown?
Seeing the puzzled look on Zi Yuan's face, Yun Xi knew that he knew very little about the current state of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm. So she cleared her throat and said seriously, "Senior may not know much about the Purple Abyss Divine Realm. In fact, the Purple Abyss Divine Realm is one of the Ancient Divine Realm."
Zi Yuan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. In his memory, Zi Yuan was just an ordinary strange domain. Even after he heard that it had been promoted to a divine domain, he never thought of it as an "Ancient Divine Realm".
The Ancient Divine Realm are powerful regions that existed since ancient times, possessing endless mystery and terrifying depths. Each Ancient Divine Realm is like a dazzling star, shining with a unique light in the long river of cultivation history.
Seeing Zi Yuan's reaction, Yun Xi continued in a leisurely manner, "The reason why the Purple Abyss Strange Domain was promoted to a divine realm before was because a part of it had been unsealed." Her voice was unhurried.
Zi Yuan's gaze gradually became focused, staring intently at Yun Xi, afraid of missing any detail.
Yun Xi continued, "For countless years, the Purple Abyss Strange Domain was sealed. Several hundred years ago, a corner of the seal was broken, and the dormant power began to awaken. The imprisoned spiritual energy began to surge, and various rare resources emerged continuously. The strength of the cultivators in the realm also began to increase rapidly. It was precisely because of the release of this power that the Purple Abyss Strange Domain was able to break through its limitations and ascend to the magnificent Purple Abyss Divine Realm."
At this point, Yun Xi gently raised the stones in her hand, a hint of awe in her eyes, "And these are the remaining Unsealing Key." The stones in her hand emitted a faint and mysterious light, with strange patterns on their surfaces, as if they contained some ancient code.
Zi Yuan nodded thoughtfully, staring at the object, a profound and indescribable shock welling up inside him.
Above the Blood Rock Mountain Domain, thick, dark clouds continued to churn slowly, like an invisible behemoth roaring softly. A fierce wind raged through the valleys, howling sharply past Zi Yuan and Yun Xi, as if recounting the lingering effects of the intense battle that had just taken place.
Yun Xi looked at the gradually fading traces of the battle, her expression solemn. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, "And the Terror God King Fiend... who was just now Abnormal God, he hates Purple Abyss Divine Realm extremely." Her voice was low and clear, but it sounded particularly heavy in the wind.
Zi Yuan frowned slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. He recalled the scene of fighting the Abnormal God just now, the unpredictable attack method, and the powerful aura full of malice, all of which made him feel lingering fear.
Yun Xi a deep breath and continued, "Since he went to such lengths to take action himself, he must have remembered the two of us. He will definitely not let this go easily in the future. Senior, you must also be careful."
Given the hatred that the Abnormal God harbors for the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, he will absolutely not let go of anyone connected to the Purple Abyss Divine Realm easily.
Although the two of them joined forces to withstand the attack of the Terror God King Fiend, it was hard to say who would win in a one-on-one fight.
"Thank you for the reminder, Yun Xi. I will be careful."
Upon hearing his reply, Yun Xi looked at the mysterious Zi Yuan before her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I wonder why Senior Zi Yuan has been away from the Godfall Continent for 100,000 years?"
Zi Yuan paused slightly, his gaze shifting from the distance to Yun Xi. Yun Xi's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but beneath that curiosity lay a hint of wariness.
After all, the senior Zi Yuan before her was incredibly powerful. She secretly guessed that he might possess Eternal Opportunity no less powerful than her own, and might even be a competitor for the Eternal Position.
Zi Yuan seemed to see the complex emotions in Yun Xi's eyes, but he didn't care. He just sighed softly and said slowly, "Actually, I am going to the outer universe to find the weaknesses of the Abnormal Race and... the opportunity to achieve the Eternal Realm, at the request of a senior."
Yun Xi slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected that Zi Yuan's departure from the Godfall Continent for 100,000 years was for such an important mission.
Zi Yuan's gaze became distant, as if he were lost in memories. "That senior was a master I met on the Godfall Continent. He was powerful and knowledgeable. One day, he found me and told me with a serious expression that the threat of the Abnormal Race was growing day by day. If we did not find their weakness as soon as possible, the entire universe would be in crisis."
Yun Xi listened quietly, her respect for Zi Yuan growing even stronger. In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, to be able to resolutely step into the unknown outer universe for the safety of the entire universe—such courage and responsibility are not something ordinary people possess.
"So I followed my senior's advice... and have only recently come here."
