The Heavenly Court's Divine Treasury!

When Situ Huaji that earth-shattering phrase, "the reincarnation of True Lord,"...

Qi Yun looked at the expression on his face, a mixture of shock, awe, and self- Spirit Stabilization of heaven.

For a moment, they were speechless.

This child—I'm afraid his brain has been damaged by Shi Xiu's grand formation.

Slightly speechless, Qi Yun shook his head slightly and didn't continue the conversation.

"Let's get down to business."

Where exactly is the Heavenly Court Treasure you just mentioned?

Seeing that Qi Yun had no intention of delving into the matter, and the natural indifference and lofty demeanor he exuded, Situ Huaji certain of his guess that Qi Yun was the "reincarnation of the True Lord".

Putting everything else aside, who can go from the Qi Refining Stage to the Great True Person Realm in just a few decades?

He couldn't think of any other way but to have the True Lord regain his high position.

Not daring to ask any more questions, Situ Huaji quickly composed himself and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the True Person Immortal, that place is hidden in a sea eye deep in the Eastern Sea."

The sea eye itself is naturally maze-like and shrouded in turbulent currents, making it extremely difficult to find.

If it weren't for the fact that I, a junior, accidentally obtained half of the incomplete map in my early years and spent decades deducing its location, it would have been difficult to determine its location.

If True Person wish to go there, I will guide True Person.

He adopted an extremely humble posture and spoke sincerely, but his mind was racing.

The "senior" before me is unfathomable.

The treasures left behind by the Heavenly Court were indeed incredibly tempting.

But with his current severely injured body, exploring alone would be tantamount to suicide.

If one could gain entry with the help of this senior, even a small, marginal gain would be far better than guarding Baoshan in vain.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun did not immediately agree.

His gaze lingered on Situ Huaji's face for a moment, then he suddenly said, "No need."

Before the words had even finished -

Behind him, the halo of chaotic light that was originally so faint as to be almost invisible suddenly became real!

The Great Luo Myriad Laws Domain Heaven unfolded with a thunderous roar!

A chaotic, colored ribbon, only a few feet wide yet as heavy as if it bore the weight of an entire starry sky, fell silently down upon Situ Huaji.

Situ Huaji didn't even have time to react before he felt a sudden weight on his body.

The surrounding space instantly solidified into the hardest amber, and he was the insect sealed within it.

The surging demonic Blood Qi within his body, the strange phenomena of his Battle Dao Foundation struggling to be maintained behind him, and even the subtle ripples of his Divine Soul.

They were all forcibly suppressed by an overwhelming Daoist intent that transcended their comprehension, rendering them unable to move!

The moment a look of horror appeared in his eyes, Qi Yun had already stepped in front of him.

The two were no more than three feet apart.

Situ Huaji could clearly see his own panicked and stiff face reflected in Qi Yun's deep, pool-like eyes.

He tried to struggle, and the Vicious Demon Dao Foundation within him roared furiously, his Blood Qi surging wildly.

But under the suppression of that chaotic, boundless force, all resistance vanished like a mud ox sinking into the sea, failing to even cause a ripple.

The position of Great True Person represents an almost absolute and overwhelming advantage over those in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Not to mention that the foundation of Qi Yun's Dao Foundation is the [Supreme One], which transcends all laws.

Qi Yun remained expressionless, raised his right hand, his five fingers long and slender with distinct knuckles, and slowly pressed it against Situ Huaji's forehead.

There was no brilliance, no momentum.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the other's skin, Situ Huaji felt as if his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness was forcefully pushed open by an invisible yet irresistible will!

Soul Search!

"Senior! I—" Situ Huaji was shocked and furious. He wanted to struggle, but dared not.

He was unsure whether his suicidal methods would be effective against a reincarnated True Lord.

The next moment.

A vast, chaotic collection of fragmented memories belonging to Situ Huaji one hundred years of life surged towards Qi Yun's Divine Sense like a burst dam.

My childhood in the desolate Northwest was marked by famine and bloodshed.

He accidentally obtained a half of the Vicious Demon Battle Fragmentary Scripture and began his cultivation amidst mountains of corpses Blood Sea.

Imprisonment and despair in the underground blood pool of Yellow Springs Market.

After escaping, he fought desperately, and on the brink of life and death, he gained enlightenment and forged the Vicious Demon Dao Foundation.

They traveled overseas, plundered cultivators, and made countless enemies.

Just as they were about to reach the sea eye, they were spotted by Shi Xiu and surrounded.

Countless images, sounds, emotions, and insights came rushing in.

Qi Yun's Divine Sense was like an ancient, clear mirror, reflecting everything, yet remaining unmoved.

He precisely bypassed the irrelevant entanglements and trivialities, pointing directly to all the information about the "Heavenly Court Relics".

really.

Deep within that memory, a cocoon of light, enveloped in layers of malevolent Blood Qi and shimmering with strange silver patterns, was rising and falling.

Within the cocoon of light, sealed was a broken key, neither gold nor jade, with an ancient and simple shape. This item was Situ Huaji "stitched" into the Secret Method of Situ Huaji's Divine Soul origin in a way that was almost like a "Dao trace"!

The key and the Divine Soul coexist.

If someone forcibly removes it, or if Situ Huaji a single thought, the key will be annihilated along with that part of the Divine Soul, completely severing any other person's thoughts.

"That's rather ruthless."

Qi Yun withdrew his palm, and the chaotic stream of light dissipated.

Situ Huaji staggered back several steps, his face ashen, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and he was panting heavily.

The feeling of having Divine Soul forcibly rummaged through is extremely unpleasant, let alone having one's most core secrets laid bare.

His gaze toward Qi Yun now carried an undisguised fear and a hint of dejection.

Qi Yun, however, seemed to have done nothing of importance. His gaze fell on Situ Huaji's face, tinged with surprise. "You forcibly refined the key to the vault into his Divine Soul —'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' You seem to understand this principle well."

Situ Huaji managed to steady his breathing and said in a hoarse voice, "This junior's cultivation is too low. If I didn't have this means of self-preservation, I don't know how many times I would have died."

"No wonder that Shakyamuni Arhat didn't just kill you directly, but instead expended effort to set up Formation Deployment to convert you—he must have realized that the key was connected to your Divine Soul, and that's why he wanted to use Buddhist teachings to convert you and make you willingly take it out."

"Alright."

Turning around with his hands behind his back, Qi Yun looked towards the boundless sea and sky to the east and said calmly, "For the sake of your character and ruthlessness, lead the way."

If that treasure land truly contains divine treasures, you will naturally receive your share.

Upon hearing Situ Huaji's pale face flushed with color, and his eyes blazed with intense hope.

He mustered his strength, his body weakened, and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, senior!"

The younger generation will do its utmost to guide the older generation!

The Eastern Sea, the Yiwei Sea Eye.

There are a total of sixty sea eyes in the Eastern Sea, named after the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

The earlier the name appears on the map, the deeper it extends into the heart of the ocean.

An eerie silence pervades the area surrounding this sea eye, between the sea and the sky.

At the edge of the horizon, where the sky meets the sea, the light distorts into a blurry vortex, as if an invisible giant eye is slowly rotating there.

That is the appearance of the [sea eye] on the outside.

A massive, slowly rotating ocean eddy with a diameter exceeding ten thousand miles.

The center of the vortex is unfathomably deep, rumored to lead directly to the Nine Nethers, the place where all waters Ruins of Return.

"Senior, this is the place."

Situ Huaji pointed to the distorted vortex of sky and sea in the distance, his expression solemn.

"The entrance is not on the surface of the vortex, but in a void three thousand feet below it."

"Only at a specific time, by harnessing the power of the sea's tides, and reaching a delicate balance, can the portal be briefly opened using a talisman key as a guide."

Qi Yun stood in mid-air, his deep blue Daoist robe motionless in the eerie silence. His eyes were slightly closed, and his Divine Sense, like invisible tentacles, had already spread into the depths of that massive vortex.

really.

Beneath the seemingly chaotic and turbulent deep-sea eddies, the spatial structure exhibits an extremely complex and unstable layered state.

"Heavenly Court ----"

Qi Yun murmured to himself.

Such a feat is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Even True Lord would likely need several of them working together to create such immense power.

The Heavenly Court was jointly founded by several supreme True Lord of High Antiquity, whose achievements were comparable to those of Creation, with the aim of pooling collective wisdom, thoroughly investigating the origins of the Great Dao, and deducing a higher realm that transcends the limits of this world.

At this moment, it seems that this is probably not an exaggeration.

The existence of those who founded the "Heavenly Court" must have left behind such relics.

His realm and vision have probably surpassed the common understanding of the term "True Lord" in our time.

"When will that point of equilibrium be reached?" Qi Yun asked.

Situ Huaji looked up at the sky, then sensed the grand yet slow rhythm of the vortex Fang Hai, and pondered, "According to my calculations—around the middle of nine months from now, when the tidal forces on the seabed form a 'heavenly convergence and earthly union', there will be approximately a three-breath gap."

He paused, then hesitated, saying, "However—I am not in good condition right now, and I fear I will find it difficult to accurately grasp those three breaths of opportunity. I need to devote more of my mind to stabilizing the talisman key—"

It's alright.

Qi Yun interrupted him, his tone calm and even. "You just need to tell me the exact location and tidal node, and then you can activate the key. The rest—leave it to me."

Upon hearing Situ Huaji felt a chill run down his spine and dared not say another word.

Gazing at the sea eye before him, Qi Yun's eyes shimmered with chaotic light as he silently deduced the [Great Luo] Dao Foundation.

Nine months passed in the blink of an eye.

Night fell quietly.

The stars in the night sky over this sea area are exceptionally large and bright, seemingly within reach.

Below, the rotation speed of the inky black eddy currents in the sea appears to be undergoing extremely subtle changes.

A pulse originating from the deep sea veins and boundless water elements resonates with the starlight in the sky, gradually forming a grand yet obscure resonance.

Midnight is approaching.

Qi Yun suddenly raised his hand and made a light slash in the air beside him.

A slender spatial rift, its edges flowing with chaotic energy, silently opened.

"Go inside," he said.

Situ Huaji was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on.

This is to temporarily place him in a stable, independent space so that he doesn't become a burden due to poor condition.

Without saying a word, this infamous demonic True Person, who was notorious even in the Northwest, scratched his head and stepped into the crevice.

Qi Yun stood alone beneath the night sky, above the eye of the sea.

Heaven and earth were silent, while the sea of stars seemed to boil.

At a certain moment, the boundless water elements at the bottom of the sea suddenly erupted.

A surge of pure, vast, and extremely yin and cold Gui Water energy soared into the sky, like an ink dragon rising from the abyss!

Two forces of heaven and earth, vastly different in nature yet equally powerful and majestic, clashed violently at a certain point above the center of the vortex!

Visible, transparent ripples, distorting light and space, spread silently in all directions from the point of collision.

At that very instant when the forces of heaven and earth collided!

Qi Yun's mind raced.

Situ Huaji, and the silver talisman key sewn into the essence of his Divine Soul suddenly shone brightly!

The key trembled, emitting an ancient and desolate hum.

One after another, silver chains made of countless tiny Dao patterns emerged from Situ Huaji Divine Soul, piercing through the barrier of the independent space and shooting out!

These silver, Dao-patterned chains precisely penetrated the most central and chaotic point of the spatial ripples in front of them.

Like a key being inserted into a lock.

"Click"

A slight turning sound.

The ever-expanding ripples in space suddenly froze and contracted!

At the very center of the collision between stellar power and tides, there is a "portal"—only wide enough for one person to pass through—whose edges flow with a dense silver light.

It slowly solidified and opened up.

A constantly shifting, chaotic scene composed of countless broken mirror surfaces and flowing streaks, indistinct and unclear.

Only a faint aura of vastness, antiquity, and remoteness, distinct from this world, emanated from it.

The Heavenly Court treasures, their gates wide open.

Qi Yun's eyes were calm. He took a step forward, and his deep blue figure disappeared into the chaotic expanse of flowing silver light.

Behind them, the starlight gradually dissipated, the tide receded, and the spatial ripples subsided.

The silver door flickered a few times and then closed silently, as if it had never existed.

Only the eddies in the sea eye continued to rotate slowly.

The ink-stained sea was silent, and the starry sky was speechless.
