Mechanical Flow Treasure

This crimson Crystal Stele, located in the center of the palace, had been noticed by Jiang Yao long ago.

At that time, the Crystal Stele was not entirely red; the upper half was mostly black, while the lower half was red.

It was as if ink was seeping down the Crystal Stele from top to bottom.

But now it has turned completely crimson, the black color has completely disappeared, probably because of the death of the Zerg Mother Emperor.

The Crystal Stele was engraved with characters that Jiang Yao did not recognize, but he could instantly understand their meaning. The characters meant "Liuyu Crystal".

This world is the inner world of this peculiar treasure, "Liuyu Crystal".

Jiang Yao used his mental power to penetrate the Crystal Stele and immediately obtained some kind of inherited information.

A moment later, Jiang Yao opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.

The information within the Crystal Stele appears to be incomplete, fragmented, and somewhat chaotic and broken.

From these fragmented pieces of information, Jiang Yao learned that the entire "Liuyu Crystal" world was actually a component of Mechanical Flow Treasure called "Liuguang".

"Liuguang?" Jiang Yao murmured the name.

There is no specific information about "Liuguang" inside the Crystal Stele; it is only known that the main component of "Liuguang" should be located in Liuchong Mountain!

Liuchong Mountain!

One of the Three Great Forbidden Lands in the Universe Ocean!

"Then this Zerg Liuyu Crystal must have been brought back to the Primal Universe from the Universe Ocean by a powerful Zerg individual. This Zerg individual certainly didn't find the main component of the 'Liuguang,' either because they couldn't find it, or because the main component was in an extremely dangerous place, and they didn't dare or had the ability to delve into it..."

Aside from the fact that the main component of "Liuguang" should be in Liuchong Mountain, there is no other information about the Mechanical Flow Treasure "Liuguang". Jiang Yao guessed that either the information was sealed in some way and Jiang Yao could not know it at present, or the components of "Liuguang" had indeed lost detailed information about the main body.

Based on the messy and fragmented information inside, Jiang Yao tends to believe that the Mechanical Flow Treasure "Liuguang" was damaged in a battle, with Liuyu Crystal falling out and the treasure itself being severely injured.

However, there is still quite a bit of information about Liuyu Crystal itself.

The interior of the Liuyu Crystal contains a vast world; the current space is merely a relatively safe and insignificant area within it.

Beyond this safe and stable area lie endless Space Fragment Storm and particle streams, posing a life-threatening risk even to Immortal Expert King-level who ventures too far.

Perhaps the Liuyu Crystal itself suffered severe damage, causing its internal world to collapse and become chaotic, leaving only a "small area" around Liuyu Divine Mountain with a stable space.

The Liuyu Divine Mountain where this palace is located is the central hub of the Liuyu Crystal. Jiang Yao can refine the entire Divine Mountain through this Crystal Stele, thereby controlling the spacetime of this world through the central hub of the Liuyu Divine Mountain and becoming the true ruler of this world.

Therefore, this Liuyu Crystal must be refined inside.

Moreover, the Liuyu Crystal might just be a simple energy supply component, without any function to convert the infinite energy within into offensive capabilities. Therefore, even if Jiang Yao possesses a treasure trove, he won't be able to obtain a single penny. To truly unleash the power of the Liuyu Crystal, he would probably need to find other components.

In the original story, Jiang Yao did not exist. The Liuyu Crystal was probably refined by the Immortal Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang. However, without finding other components, the Liuyu Crystal alone could not significantly enhance combat power. Therefore, in the original world, the Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang did not seem to cause any significant disturbance.

Even so, Jiang Yao was pleasantly surprised.

Functionally speaking, even if he could completely control this world, it could only be used as a prison for exile.

Anyone who touches the Liuyu Crystal be sucked into its inner world.

Moreover, there is only inflow and no outflow.

Jiang Yao was sucked into this place because he touched the Liuyu Crystal, which was disguised as Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal, handed to him by Zhenxuan King.

Furthermore, Universe Venerable have mastered the laws of time or space are excluded and cannot enter the inner world of the Liuyu Crystal.

Therefore, the Liuyu Crystal can only imprison Immortal God.

This is also why the Zerg powerhouse who obtained the Liuyu Crystal, presumably the Universe Master, bestowed this treasure upon an Immortal Mother Emperor of the Zerg. Because beings above the Immortal level cannot enter the inner world of the Liuyu Crystal, they are unable to refine and control this treasure.

Jiang Yao's concern wasn't about exiling prisoners, but rather that if he controlled the Liuyu Crystal, he would essentially have a way out.

The Xu Yuan Space can only be entered by consciousness, while the inner world of the Liuyu Crystal can hide the body and other items within it.

Since even the Zerg powerhouses, who are at least Universe Master, were unable to enter the inner world of the Liuyu Crystal after obtaining it in the Universe Ocean, Jiang Yao's entry into it means that no one can kill him. Powerhouses above the Immortal level cannot enter, and if an enemy at the Immortal God level touches the Liuyu Crystal, they will be sucked into the inner world and left to Jiang Yao's mercy.

After digesting the information he obtained from the Crystal Stele, Jiang Yao excitedly began refining it.

Fortunately, refining the Crystal Stele does not require divine power, or even the World Force; all it requires is willpower.

Jiang Yao immediately focused his will into the Crystal Stele, attempting to refine it.

The Crystal Stele was entirely crimson red, with what looked like drops of ink on its top, the pollution spreading from top to bottom.

At the same time, the majestic Liuyu Divine Mountain outside gradually turned black from its summit, extending downwards.

Once the Crystal Stele is dyed from entirely crimson to black, meaning the red Liuyu Divine Mountain turns entirely black, the refining of the core world within the Liuyu Crystal will be considered complete.

But red also seems to be trying its best to resist the contamination of ink.

Jiang Yao frowned. No wonder the Zerg Mother Emperor had been here for who knows how long but still hadn't refined the Liuyu Divine Mountain. There was an omnipresent power inside the Crystal Stele resisting his will to refine it.

Having withstood the backlash from the laws of the universe, his will underwent another transformation and enhancement in the struggle between Bizhang 'Origin Blood Essence and the laws of the universe. His will has now reached or even surpassed that of many Universe Venerable.

However, the refining process still faced numerous obstacles and was extremely difficult.

According to his estimate, at this pace, it would take at least several hundred years, or even a thousand years.

If it were the Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang, it would probably take thousands of epochs to refine her.

"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry right now. No one here can threaten me, Chiling clone has also sent Wucha Race guards to protect the Lingtong Race outside. I might as well refine and cultivate at the same time."

Jiang Yao then separated a wisp of his consciousness to cultivate in the Xu Yuan Space.

Bizhang Split Soul then takes control of his body to guard against any enemies who might intrude into Liuyu Divine Mountain.

With the death of the Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang, her entire Zerg Legion naturally perished as well, and given time, this would inevitably be discovered by powerful figures from the outside world.

Without the deterrent power of the Zerg Mother Emperor, many powerful beings will surely covet this Divine Mountain and the treasures and wealth left behind by the Zerg Mother Emperor.

However, Jiang Yao is no longer afraid at all.

With his current Gene Level of 1120 times, plus the 8 times Body Amplitude of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body", that is nearly 9000 times the power of Peak World Lord, approaching the physical strength of King Level.

Although Jiang Yao's true body did not possess the Beast God Weapon of the Suolun Master and could not use a secret technique of the level of <Tiansuo>, Bizhang Split Soul was the biggest beneficiary of the backlash from the laws of the universe's operation, reaching the Fourth Layer of the Path of the Beast God, Heavenly Bridge.

Bizhang Split Soul could manipulate his body enough to bring his combat power close to the Peak King-level.

In this world, no one is his match now, except for the Zerg Mother Emperor Lanshang. The strongest beings in this world are her few Soul Slave at the Peak King level. The strongest beings outside Liuyu Divine Mountain are also only at the Peak King.

Time flies, and nine hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yao's refining process is nearing completion. The Crystal Stele has changed from being entirely crimson to being entirely black, with only the base remaining crimson.

Only the foot of Liuyu Divine Mountain remains red; the rocks above the foot have all turned black.

Over the past nine hundred years, many powerful individuals have indeed noticed the absence of the Zerg Immortal Legion's patrols, and thus have mustered the courage to come and investigate what exactly has happened at Liuyu Divine Mountain.

However, they were all driven away and even killed by Jiang Yao, who was controlled by Bizhang Split Soul.

Gradually, news spread that the Zerg Mother Emperor of Liuyu Divine Mountain had been killed by a mysterious powerful figure who then seized the Divine Mountain, and fewer and fewer Immortal Expert dared to come and threaten her.

In the Xu Yuan Space.

The Desolate God Huanming, with twelve pairs of enormous wings, twisted and transformed into a Fire Wheel and a Long River. The two opposing forces converged like colliding stars, and terrifying auras and powers spread and reverberated.

A powerful sense of impending doom and end arose.

The raging power transformed into a sword of annihilation, seemingly poised to pierce through the void.

After the Great Destruction and Great Calamity reached their end, it suddenly burst into new life, giving rise to a sense of rebirth. The destroyed space, land, rivers and lakes were restored with a vibrant atmosphere, as if time had reversed.

The Desolate God Huanming also flapped his wings and reappeared.

"Water Origin Calamity Fire... truly worthy of being Huanming's original divine power." A wisp of Jiang Yao's consciousness observed this wondrous scene, seemingly gaining some sudden enlightenment, and fell silent.

He is currently unable to use the Water-Fire Fusion Law in the outside world, otherwise it would attract the backlash or even annihilation from the laws governing the universe.

However, the Xu Yuan Space has no restrictions.

Huanming Split Soul continuously used this Origin Secret Technique in the Xu Yuan Space, allowing Jiang Yao to comprehend and improve his Space-Time Law through the Water-Fire Fusion Law.

Although Huanming's Water-Fire Fusion Law was not yet fully integrated, it gave rise to two completely opposite moods: one was a mood of Great Calamity and Great Destruction, and the other was a mood of vitality and restoration.

Jiang Yao's understanding of the Space-Time Law was precisely the artistic conception of the Space-Time Annihilation. The artistic conception of Great Calamity and Great Destruction displayed by the Water-Fire Fusion Law benefited him greatly, and he made extremely rapid progress.

"Destruction... life... these concepts actually exist in every Origin Law." Jiang Yao seemed to understand something. "No wonder that to comprehend the fundamental mysteries of the Source of Destruction, the Source of Life, or the Source of Light and Darkness, one must fuse the ten Origin Law together. This is the path to mastering the Chaos Law."

Suddenly, Jiang Yao was overjoyed. "Is the Crystal Stele about to be completely refined...? What is this thing?"

Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and this wisp of consciousness left the Xu Yuan Space and returned to his body.

Only the last thin base of the Crystal Stele remained, still crimson and untouched by the black ink. Jiang Yao's will, immersed in the Crystal Stele, suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation.

The entire Crystal Stele trembled!

A terrifying consciousness suddenly appeared, transforming into a vortex that seemed to want to devour Jiang Yao's will.

"Give... me... give... me..."

Jiang Yao looked shocked, his mind racing, before he blurted out, "A spirit?!"

This component of the Mechanical Flow Treasure has actually developed a spirit?!
