Assisting the Two Crows, Comprehending the Magic Treasure

In the eastern horizon, where the sea meets the sky, two divine mulberry trees on the Sun Star intertwined to form the Fusang Divine Tree, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

Atop the Fusang Divine Tree, two Golden Crows radiated boundless light, illuminating the heavens with a dazzling brilliance.

Beichen watched the movements on the divine tree, lost in a moment of distraction.

I was originally the master of the Three Immortal Islands, yet now it has drifted uncontrollably to the East Sea, seemingly in response to the fate of these two crows! Should I leave the island and make a trip to the Sun Star?

Beichen felt conflicted; leaving the island meant danger, and staying hidden was the safest path. Yet, the fact that the Three Immortal Islands had arrived here seemed to be a sign that he no longer needed to hide!

Just as Beichen was unable to make up his mind, the system released a mission.

Help Dijun and Taiyi comprehend their innate Magic Treasures; reward: fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation and the mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Dao!

Beichen's heart stirred: It is actually the Jade Plate of Creation!

There was more than one fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation. Old Ancestor Hongjun had obtained one by chance, while the rest were scattered throughout the chaos. If he could obtain them, he would possess the same treasure as Old Ancestor Hongjun!

The fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation were no small matter. Even if they only contained the Imperfect Great Dao, they were of great benefit to cultivation. If one of them contained a complete Great Dao, he could use it to attain sainthood, perhaps even rivaling or surpassing Hongjun!

It is no longer suitable to hide; I must accept this mission!

The temptation of such a reward solidified Beichen's resolve to leave the island.

Beichen controlled the Three Immortal Islands with his mind, and in an instant, they arrived beneath the Sun Star.

The Sun Star emitted billions of rays of light, and the defensive formation upon it hummed with a low, rhythmic sound. The scorching heat seemed to make the very heavens and earth boil.

The Sun Star was like an incredibly massive fireball, casting a crimson glow across millions of miles of the surrounding void.

Beichen anchored the Three Immortal Islands beneath this Starfall, ensuring he could return at any moment.

Leaving the island brought danger, so he had to plan his retreat in advance.

Is this it? It seems Dijun has truly not comprehended the River Map and Luo Book; otherwise, would he not use the Star Dou Grand Formation to protect the star?

After a brief probe, Beichen discovered that the star-protection formation was an unknown, mediocre array, only at the level of an early-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

Then do not blame this Beichen for being impolite!

Boom!

Beichen raised his hand and flicked his wrist. With a surge of Dao power, a wave of heat rolled out, and the defensive formation shattered instantly.

"Someone is ambushing our Sun Star! Brother, prepare to fight!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was extremely vigilant. Holding a giant bell, he stared fixedly at the point where the formation had broken.

Swish!

Beichen's figure appeared on the Sun Star, his gaze falling upon the tense Dijun and Taiyi.

"Who are you, daring to invade our Sun Star!"

Dijun held the River Map and Luo Book, his eyes filled with confusion. He had clearly been trying to comprehend the book for a long time, yet he could not grasp its mysteries.

Beside him, the giant bell held by Eastern Emperor Taiyi was also dim and lusterless, showing no resonance with his own Dao aura. "Two Golden Crows, do not be nervous. This Humble One is Beichen of the North Sea Black Tortoise, here to visit friends. I bear no malice!"

Dijun's brows knit together. He assessed Beichen's cultivation and did not intend to strike.

His innate Magic Treasure was the River Map and Luo Book, a tool for formations and strategy. Before comprehension, it held little power and his combat strength was weak, leaving him without the confidence to engage.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, however, with his sharp brows and cold expression, was full of vigilance. He immediately hurled the Eastern Emperor Bell forward.

"North Sea Black Tortoise, you trespass on our Sun Star and dare to claim you are here to visit friends? You seek death!"

The Eastern Emperor Bell descended like a falling mountain, wreathed in golden light and rolling killing intent, erupting with the power of a peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

Although Eastern Emperor Taiyi had only comprehended a sliver of the treasure's mysteries, his activation was enough to unleash some of the bell's inherent power. Yet, compared to his own cultivation, this power was only slightly stronger!

Ultimately, he had comprehended too little of this treasure!

"Universe Great Dao Mystic Turtle Shell!"

Beichen was only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm; naturally, he dared not clash head-on with the bell. Without hesitation, he summoned the Mystic Turtle Shell.

Bang!

With a violent explosion, the Eastern Emperor Bell was sent flying back amidst a torrent of golden light, while the Mystic Turtle Shell floated in the void, rotating slightly and revealing a terrifying aura of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao!

"Heaven and Earth Great Dao laws?" Dijun could not help but frown. "How can this turtle shell possess the power of the Great Dao?"

Taiyi caught the Eastern Emperor Bell and immediately pushed it forward again. Simultaneously, he stepped through the void, lunging forward to strike down at the top of Beichen's head.

With this strike, the void shattered and the atmosphere trembled, forcing Beichen to retreat hundreds of feet.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi pressed forward step by step, the bell bombarding the area. The commotion on the Sun Star was immense, and all living beings within millions of miles were terrified, fleeing in haste.

As expected of the Demon Emperor Taiyi; even without comprehending the Dao Treasure, his combat strength is off the charts!

Beichen gritted his teeth, and the Universe Great Dao Mystic Turtle Shell flew out, spinning.

Boom!

This time, he held nothing back. The Eastern Emperor Bell was knocked back a hundred miles, and Taiyi was sent flying along with it. His fiery aura flickered and dimmed, and his presence weakened significantly.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, Beichen truly came to visit friends; I have no malice!"

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, Beichen has calculated that you have failed to comprehend your innate Magic Treasure, which is why it feels awkward to use. Why not let Beichen assist you?"

"Fellow Daoist Dijun, and you as well—you have studied the River Map and Luo Book for quite some time, yet you have failed to grasp its profound mysteries. Beichen can assist you!"

As he spoke, Taiyi swooped down once more, gripping the great bell in his hand, ready to strike again.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was cold-tempered and bellicose; he would never submit to Beichen.

Dijun, however, suddenly appeared and caught Taiyi's arm: "Second Brother, this cultivator is favored by the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, and his innate tortoise shell is formidable; we are no match for him for the time being. Moreover, there is deep mystery in his words—there is no need to continue fighting!"

Taiyi stared intently at Dijun for a moment before putting away the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Dijun is indeed wise and composed! Beichen thought to himself.

With the fighting stopped, Beichen observed them closely and realized that both were currently at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

"Six thousand years ago, the four Fated Sages were already at the late stage of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. Now, more than six thousand years later, they should have stepped into the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!"

Beichen suddenly thought of the Four Fated Sages, estimating that Hongjun's sanctification was near, and that his preaching would soon follow!

With the three of them having ceased hostilities, Beichen expounded upon many principles to the two, gradually winning their trust.

Thus, the three sat down to discuss the Dao, talking of the heavens and the earth.

Drawing upon his own knowledge, Beichen taught Eastern Emperor Taiyi about the Eastern Emperor Bell's power to suppress the "Primordial World," its strength to distort "the space-time of the heavens," its function to evolve "the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao," and its ability to refine "earth, water, fire, and wind."

He also spoke of the River Map and Luo Book, the Star Dou Grand Formation, the three hundred and sixty-five primary stars of the heavens, and the one hundred and eight thousand great stars.

Beichen spoke with such eloquence that he continued for a thousand years; the two listened with keen interest, secretly contemplating the mysteries in their hearts.

A millennium later, Beichen let out a long breath and slowly came to a halt: "Two fellow Daoists, I have finished explaining the secrets of your innate Magic Treasures. Have you gained anything?"

Dijun's eyes shone with divine light, and he was filled with wild joy: "Hearing a single word from you is worth ten thousand years of cultivation! So that is how the River Map and Luo Book must be contemplated. Dijun understands now; many thanks, many thanks."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi also completely shed his hostility, becoming thoroughly convinced: "Many thanks for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Xuangui. I shall be able to control and use the Eastern Emperor Bell as easily as eating and drinking within a few days."

Their words were no exaggeration. Over the next hundred years, Beichen remained on the Sun Star, witnessing Dijun successfully derive the prototype of the Star Dou Grand Formation; a rudimentary version of the array would soon be complete.

As for Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he continuously unearthed the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, to the point where he dared to clash with Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

As time flowed on, the Two Crows both stepped into the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm with the aid of their innate Magic Treasures.

Beichen also received his reward: with the Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation in hand, the profound meanings of the three thousand Great Daos were within his grasp.

Subsequently, at the invitation of the Two Crows, Beichen continued to stay on the Sun Star to cultivate.

One day, he felt restless, sensing that something was about to happen, and inadvertently, his mind drifted toward the nearby Moon Star.

Seeing two beautiful women frolicking and playing, he could not help but laugh: "Dijun, Taiyi, do you two want wives?"
