"You can reflect on this here."
As they ventured deeper, He Mengshen pointed to a sea fish and said, "There are hardly any people left around, and those who managed to get this far have already begun their enlightenment. You should hurry up too."
Xu Yeming looked at He Mengshen and asked, "And what about you?"
He Mengshen smiled and said, "I need to dive a little deeper. After comprehending the Dao of Yang, it would be safer to continue comprehending the Dao of Yin in a place where the Dao Law Qi is more concentrated."
"Although the aura of the Dao Law is even stronger further down, the pressure is also greater, making it difficult to concentrate," Mu Fusheng suggested. "Here, we can look out for each other."
He Mengshen gave Mu Fusheng a deep look, took out the Hetu and Luoshu, and summoned the Star River Compass to protect himself, saying, "With the Hetu and Luoshu here, we should be able to go a little deeper."
Mu Fusheng nodded, "In that case, Brother He, please be careful."
He Mengshen smiled and nodded, continuing to descend without looking back, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
After losing sight of the He Mengshen, Mu Fusheng looked at the Jiu Bailu beside him and asked softly, "Did you notice the strange causal threads?"
Jiu Bailu shook her head. "I can't tell, but I can't rule out the possibility that the other party is concealing their secrets, or that their strength is far greater than mine, making it impossible to discern without the Eye of Karma."
Mu Fusheng shook his head. "Then forget it. There are other people around. But we need to comprehend it quickly and get as many World Tree petals as possible."
Xu Yeming and Jiu Bailu both nodded.
The three of them found their spots and began to meditate.
Before gaining any insight, Mu Fusheng, as usual, arranged a large number of talismans around him.
There aren't even any gaps; not even a mosquito can get in!
In addition to the talismans, Xu Yeming also summoned the Taotie Divine Phoenix Torch Dragon, while the cub of the Void Behemoth, Kong Xuan, was also guarding it from the side.
Putting everything else aside...
The defensive measures taken by Mu Fusheng, Jiu Bailu Xu Yeming during their enlightenment were absolutely the most spectacular present... even White Pool's side couldn't compare.
Not far above them, a noble young man in brocade robes, holding a folding fan, slowly descended, with Dong Sanqiang half a step behind him.
Dong Sanqiang said, "Young Master, aren't you going to begin your comprehension? The message from above is that we must obtain the petals of the World Tree. This will further enhance Myriad Treasures Pavilion's status and foundation in the myriad realms, and also give us an advantage in negotiations with the Holy Court."
Bao Zhenshu sighed, "I really don't get used to this godforsaken place without a woman by my side."
"..." Dong Sanqiang helplessly.
Bao Zhenshu closed his folding fan and chuckled, "Don't be in such a hurry. We can't possibly get our hands on the petals of the World Tree."
Dong Sanqiang exclaimed in surprise, "Even you, young master, aren't confident?"
Bao Zhenshu laughed and said, "We're not the only ones who know such important information as the World Tree petals."
Dong Sanqiang instantly became alert, gripping his spear and looking around. "They're here too?"
"What was meant to come has come, and what wasn't meant to come can't come." Bao Zhenshu looked at the darkness below and sighed slightly, "In order to ensure that the major powers can live in peace and not recklessly seize the resources of other worlds, the top powers have divided the myriad worlds into several sections."
For example, the Soaring Realm belongs to our Myriad Treasures Pavilion territory. Without our permission, other great realms won't easily enter, not even the World Tree petals are here."
Dong Sanqiang smiled wryly, "Young master, please don't beat around the bush. I, Dong Sanqiang, am just a martial artist; I don't have that many complicated thoughts in my head."
"Although other forces can't get in, besides Myriad Treasures Pavilion, there is another force that can disregard this rule."
Dong Sanqiang's face darkened, and he spoke those two words with great emphasis.
" The Holy Court..."
Bao Zhenshu laughed, "Moreover, the one from the Holy Court has been eyeing the World Tree for a long time. They were already prepared before we even received the news... Their information was far ahead of ours, and with their advance preparations, it's absolutely impossible for us to obtain a petal from the World Tree."
A prophet of news.
Prepare in advance...
Dong Sanqiang asked, "Young Master, do you already know the identity of the person sent down by the Holy Court?"
Bao Zhenshu sat down cross-legged, without answering, "Since we're already here, let's try to comprehend the Dao of Yin."
Seeing this, Dong Sanqiang didn't ask any more questions.
Although he was only the manager of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the Soaring Realm, he still knew a bit about the power struggles between those top forces.
They usually seem to have a smooth and peaceful life.
But the hidden struggles are countless...
Moreover, some things cannot be said or done. Whoever breaks this balance first and brings those clandestine matters into the open will not benefit anyone.
With this in mind, Dong Sanqiang put the conversation from his mind and began to silently guard the Bao Zhenshu.
Since there are no complicated thoughts in my mind.
Then say less and do as you are told.
This is the way to survive when you're among the most powerful forces.

Among the Void Behemoth Clan.
On the stone bed, Xiao Shitou were surrounded by streams of purple light.
Lu Changsheng's clone and Kong Zhuxin sat on the ground not far away, with a chessboard made of starlight in front of them.
But this chessboard seems a little different...
"No, I've taught you so many times, how come you still can't learn it?" Lu Changsheng pointed at the yellow chess piece in Kong Zhuxin's hand and said impatiently, "I told you, you can only jump in a straight line. If there's no piece in front of you, you can only move one square! Why are you turning?!"
After saying that, he took a few steps back, clutching the yellow chess piece, and cursed, "What's wrong? You haven't even learned how to shift gears and start moving, and you're already drifting?"
What is starting in gear?
What is drifting?
However, over the past few days, Lu Changsheng would occasionally utter a few words that were difficult to understand, and Kong Zhuxin had gotten used to it.
Kong Zhuxin replied, "I wonder where your hometown is, senior? Your way of playing chess is so colorful and interesting."
Gomoku, checkers, and even the damn Ludo!
Lu Changsheng has even been brought up!
Who can beat them at Go or chess?
We can only bring out something modern...
In later generations, these three types of chess pieces were indeed passed down, and it is said that the Void Behemoth Clan developed these three types of chess pieces.
The Void Behemoth Clan wanted to clarify, but Lu Changsheng said, "You want to harm me?"
The matter was left unresolved.
The Grand Elder of the Void Behemoth Clan, standing to the side, watched this scene with a pounding heart.
Kong Zhuxin is their supreme elder...
I've been getting yelled at by Lu Changsheng for days now...
The Grand Elder was afraid that Kong Zhuxin and start a fight with Lu Changsheng.
However, to the Elder's surprise, Kong Zhuxin didn't show any temper at all...
We scold and beat them quite often.
When did your temper become so good...?
At that very moment, the surrounding Power of Space began to converge frantically towards one place!
Lu Changsheng and Kong Zhuxin both stopped and looked in that direction.
The boundaries are loosening.
The aura gradually increased.
It's Xiao Shitou!
