Li Yang quickly steered the conversation back on track, continuing, "If it takes two people to interfere with someone at the Sixth Grade Realm, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for someone at a higher level? How can you manage alone, Senior Brother?"

Qingchen knew exactly what Li Yang meant, and he admired him greatly.

People die for wealth, birds die for food.

The junior sister in front of me has the exact same personality as someone who's obsessed with money.

Qingchen couldn't help but think of Ms. Li Yao.

He felt a tightness in his chest, suppressed the thought, and continued to earnestly persuade Li Yang: "Junior sister, I won't hide it from you anymore."

He realized that Li Yang wouldn't give up until he made things clear.

Qingchen sighed softly and explained, "Let alone you and me, even a Grandmaster might not be able to defeat an Immortal Grade Star Weapon... I'm just going to risk it and investigate. If I find the materials I need, I'll find a way to kill him..."

Li Yang asked curiously, "Senior brother, what kind of material are you looking for?"

Qingchen: "Eighth Grade Light-Congealing Titanium."

Li Yang: "..." It really is the same material!

Qingchen explained, "This is one of the core materials for forging Eighth Grade Star Weapon, but the unclaimed Eighth Grade mech in the Death Domain... cough, it's possible that this material was used, so I just wanted to verify it."

"If so," Li Yang continued, "Do you have a plan to take him out?"

Qingchen: "..."

Li Yang calmly replied, "Although I am only at the Fourth Grade Realm, my senior brother is only at the Fifth Grade Peak. Just like you said, even if we were to combine our strengths, we wouldn't be able to defeat him, and even if there were a dozen or more Peak Fifth Grade Realm, it would still be difficult."

Qingchen was speechless. He could only steer the conversation back to Li Yang, saying, "So, it's really dangerous. You should go to the Life Domain as soon as possible."

Li Yang wasn't going to let him beat around the bush and asked directly, "Senior brother, you clearly aren't confident, so why are you insisting on staying here?"

Qingchen paused for a while before saying, "I have a very special treasure that can temporarily boost one's strength to the Eighth Grade Realm. If I seize the opportunity, I can kill it."

If it were a sentient Star Weapon, Qingchen wouldn't stand a chance even with his secret treasures. But since the current Death Domain Overlord is also without sentience, he can take a gamble.

There's such a hidden treasure!

Li Yang was quite surprised to hear this.

This treasure must be extremely expensive; she even suspected that using it would come at a high price.

Li Yang now has a better understanding of the secret treasure; it's not something that can be used casually.

The side effects of Divine Soil and Tree Tower are relatively minor, but the side effects of Invincible Shield are extremely severe, consuming a person's lifespan.

That Qingchen treasure, capable of briefly boosting one's rank to the Eighth Grade Realm... the cost must be terrifying.

"Will you die if you use this secret treasure?"

"!"

Li Yang deliberately asked the question so abruptly, hoping to make a judgment based on Qingchen's subtle expressions.

Qingchen would never admit it, but if she guessed right, he would definitely feel flustered and nervous.

At this moment, Qingchen's pupils visibly trembled, and his expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly smiled lazily and said, "How could that be! It's just a slight loss of cultivation level. I'll recover after a period of seclusion."

Li Yang, however, already knew what was going on.

The cost of using this treasure was indeed very high.

I'm afraid it can only be used once in a lifetime.

But soon, Li Yang was filled with doubt and confusion again.

Why?

Even if Eighth Grade Light-Congealing Titanium is extremely expensive and rare, Qingchen wouldn't risk his life for it, would he?

Qingchen was also impressed by Li Yang.

This young girl, though not very old, had eyes that could easily see right through people.

He thought he hadn't said much, but she still managed to figure out the whole story.

For the past twenty-eight years, Qingchen has been searching for clues about Light-Condensed Titanium, even at the cost of stagnation in his cultivation level.

He must find this thing; only by finding it can he truly find peace.

He entered the Buddhist order, seeking purity of mind and body. But without finding this Light-Condensed Titanium, his heart would never find peace.

If he hadn't been so stubborn, if he hadn't distrusted her, she wouldn't have blown up her natal alchemy furnace.

These thoughts tormented him for twenty-eight years, causing him immense suffering day and night.

We must find the Light-Condensed Titanium; we must help her repair her natal alchemy furnace.

Even if it means sacrificing 20,000 years of his lifespan.

Li Yang said, "Senior brother, don't be so stubborn. Nothing is more important than your own life."

The fact that Li Yang could say something like that makes her seem like a child.

Is nothing more important than life?

Some.

There are too many.

However, Qingchen hoped that Li Yang would never know.

Qingchen said, "Yes, so you should hurry up and go to the Life Domain."

Li Yang ignored his words and said seriously, "Don't use that secret treasure recklessly. Let's think of another way."

Her words startled Qingchen, who couldn't help but ask, "What other way is there?"

Li Yang: "Senior brother, if one person can't do it, we can mobilize more people."

"Huh?" Qingchen was stunned by her words. After a long while, he said, "You want to control those mechs? But we can't control them."

Once they are covered by Spirit Optical Fiber, they will immediately self-destruct.

Li Yang shook his head. "It's not them, it's the Life Domain."

Qingchen: "!!!"

Li Yang voiced his thoughts. "Senior brother, as you said, both the Life Domain and the Death Domain have a ruler, and both are at the Eighth Grade Realm. Currently, it seems they have no interaction or conflict..."

She had only said the beginning when Qingchen was already filled with shock.

Qingchen was certainly not stupid; he just hadn't thought about it in that way at all. But Li Yang's words opened up a whole new world for him.

Is this even possible?

Li Yang continued, "But conflicts are always manageable. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. If the Life Domain and the Death Domain have more connections, they will inevitably clash, and then..."

The aura behind Qingchen's head lit up uncontrollably. He murmured, "If we can really make them fight, then we can..."

"The fisherman reaps the benefit."

Qingchen was completely convinced, utterly convinced.

He finally stopped mentioning sending Li Yang to the Life Domain and instead started discussing it with her seriously.

"Your plan is indeed feasible and very reliable. If it succeeds, then..."

"Let's not talk about this now, let's wait until things are settled."

Li Yang wants Light-Condensed Titanium, but mentioning it to Qingchen now would only create unnecessary rifts between them.

Their immediate task is to eliminate that Masterless Sword Eighth Grade sword.

As for how to allocate the funds later, we can discuss that then.

Qingchen nodded and didn't say anything more. He had already made up his mind—if it really worked out, he would definitely not mistreat Li Yang. He would give her everything except for the Light-Condensed Titanium, and he would also give her additional compensation!

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later. Qingchen also agreed to eliminate the Masterless Sword first.

After traveling for most of the day, the two had gained a fairly good understanding of the situation in the Death Domain.

There are Masterless Sword everywhere here, and these Masterless Sword wander around without any consciousness when they cannot sense any living beings.

However, once it senses a living being, it will launch an indiscriminate attack.

The way to restrain them is simple: use Spirit Optical Fiber interference.

Li Yang said, "Let's continue exploring, first figuring out the terrain of the Death Domain, identifying as many Reversal Formation Core points as possible, and then discovering the Overlord's lair."

Qingchen nodded in agreement.

The situation in the Death Domain is relatively simple; they will first understand it before moving on to the Life Domain.

See if there's any room for maneuver.

Li Yang had a plan in mind, and she said, "Let's conduct an experiment first."

Qingchen looked at her and said, "You tell me." He was too lazy to even think; he felt that as long as he listened to his junior sister's arrangements, everything would be fine.

Li Yang: "Let's test whether we can send the mecha into the Life Domain through the Reversal Formation Core."

Qingchen gasped, "That can't be, right? They belong to the Death Domain..."

Li Yang said, "Let's give it a try."

Qingchen: "Alright! If we can really send the Masterless Sword from the Death Domain to the Life Domain, it will definitely cause a stir! The ruler of the Life Domain is not like the ruler of the Death Domain; the latter has self-awareness and will definitely be enraged!"

In this way, they can incite conflict between the Life Domain and the Death Domain!

Let's get started.

The Reversal Formation Core is not hard to find, and there are many of them.

Those mechs just never set foot inside.

Their unconscious wandering also has some tendencies.

For example, it will attack any living being; for example, it will instinctively avoid the Reversal Formation Core...

These are probably some of the "rules" of the Death Domain.

This time, Li Yang and Qingchen didn't clean up the mechs one by one, but focused on finding the Reversal Formation Core, and found it in less than fifteen minutes.

Three mechs hovered around the core of the formation.

Li Yang and Qingchen exchanged a glance, and then attacked simultaneously, their Spirit Optical Fiber covering the two mechs.

Upon sensing the Spirit Optical Fiber, the two mechs immediately crashed into the ground and destroyed themselves.

The mech not covered by the Spirit Optical Fiber suddenly swept a red light towards the location of Li Yang and Qingchen.

Li Yang and Qingchen rushed toward the Reversal Formation Core at lightning speed.

They had to dodge the mechs' attacks, and more importantly, avoid accidentally running into the Reversal Formation Core.

This was a bit difficult; after three attempts, they managed to get the mech to step on the Reversal Formation Core.

Did it work?

It didn't work out.

The mech passed through the Reversal Formation Core and continued running straight towards them.

Qingchen's eyes showed disappointment. He said to Li Yang in his Spirit Sea, "It seems it won't work. They can't go to the Life Domain. That's the law of the Sword Tomb."
