92: The Key to the Heavens, the Great Deal!

The twentieth year of the lunar calendar, May.

The Great Yin Branching Spirit Technique has been created, and the final barrier guaranteeing safety is finally established.

After two years of planning, Yu Xuzi was ready to execute a major scheme!

Inside an unknown space.

The ancient Bronze Five-Ringed Star Disk floated erratically, and the illusory image of Yu Xuzi's Divine Soul appeared here.

More than half of the stars of the Lesser Thousand World had already been lit up, and it was estimated that in less than a year, he would be able to Transmigrate to the Lesser Thousand World.

However, he did not come for that matter today.

On the fourth ring of the star disk, Yu Xuzi's Divine Sense moved slightly, and the two stars representing the two Micro Dust Worlds began to shine brightly, differentiating into two illusory images.

Then they merged together!

Finally, an illusory image of a "Bronze Key" was formed.

This was a new function of the Myriad Heavens Star Disk that Yu Xuzi only discovered after advancing to the Dao Foundation Stage, and it was one of the reasons why he had the confidence to raise the banner of Yu Xu Palace earlier.

He named it: [key of the heavens].

As the name suggests, this is a key that can open the world barrier.

With it, a Void Realm channel can be established between the two worlds that formed the key!

Moreover, its usage is not limited to himself!

For example, the key of the heavens currently before him can open a Void Realm channel between the Qingyuan Realm and the Fei Chen Realm.

However, the duration is very short, only about three breaths of time, after which the Void Realm channel will be completely closed.

The key will also dissipate into nothingness.

This was because Yu Xuzi's cultivation was insufficient, and his utilization and understanding of the Myriad Heavens Star Disk's functions were still immature; he would definitely discover more in the future.

But even if it only lasts for three breaths of time, it is enough!

"How precious is the Opportunity for Ascension? This time, I must make that Flood Dragon hand over everything in the entire Eastern Sea!"

"No, no, no, besides the Resources, it must also leave behind a layer of its own flesh and Bloodline!"

"The flesh and Bloodline of a Third Rank Flood Dragon, what a treasure!"

That's right, Yu Xuzi had set his sights on the old Flood Dragon in the Eastern Sea of the Qingyuan Realm.

Although that Flood Dragon seemed to have a decent temper, Yu Xuzi would never put his life in someone else's hands.

Since he was making a move, it was naturally 100% safe!

...Inside the Yuxu Grotto-Heaven.

The Second Rank Puppet, Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger, stood silently, and Yu Xuzi sat cross-legged in front of it.

His face was pale and pained, cold sweat drenched his clothes, and his body trembled violently, almost unable to sit steadily.

Embracing Star and Soaring circled outside, flapping their wings rapidly and chirping softly, showing great unease.

What Yu Xuzi was currently executing was the "Great Yin Branching Spirit Technique."

As the name suggests, performing this technique requires enduring the pain of splitting the Divine Sense!

A moment later.

A ball of cyan light emerged from the Sea of Consciousness in his forehead, and in an instant, it vanished directly inside the Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger.

"Buzz—"

Accompanied by bursts of buzzing, the Qi surrounding the Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger suddenly changed, transforming from that of a lifeless Puppet to seemingly possessing a bit more "Life Qi."

Yu Xuzi felt that he now had two perspectives.

One was his main body, and the other was naturally the perspective of the Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger.

"Caw—??"

Embracing Star and Soaring drew closer.

"It's alright, I'm fine."

Yu Xuzi smiled and gently pushed them away, standing up while enduring the immense pain of splitting his Divine Sense.

A moment later.

Thousand Islands Realm.

The figure of the Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger appeared outside the Yuxu Grotto-Heaven.

"The Divine Sense connection was not severed by the Yuxu Grotto-Heaven. Next, let's check the distance."

The Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger began to rapidly move away from the location of the Yuxu Grotto-Heaven.

One hundred li!

Two hundred li!

Five hundred li!

Until... one thousand li!!

"It's settled!"

Yu Xuzi smiled, stroking his hand.

"The Divine Sense perception range of a Third Rank Immortal Master or Demon King is usually only about one hundred li. Now that I am a thousand li away, coupled with the obstruction of the Yuxu Grotto-Heaven, that Flood Dragon won't be able to find me no matter what!"

As long as the Flood Dragon turned hostile, the moment the Divided Soul was destroyed, Yu Xuzi could immediately Transmigrate worlds and escape.

Absolutely safe!

...Late May.

Qingyuan Realm, deep within the Eastern Sea.

Looking out at the vast Eastern Sea spanning tens of thousands of li, Yu Xuzi ran into trouble.

No one knew the lair of this Flood Dragon.

He could only roughly guess the direction based on the trajectory information he collected on the mainland regarding the Flood Dragon coming ashore, and even then, it might not be accurate.

After much deliberation, he found no good solution.

He could only search slowly.

"Forget it, let's take our time, for safety's sake."

Yu Xuzi sat on Embracing Star's back, circling high above the deep Eastern Sea, tens of thousands of feet in the air.

Since Embracing Star advanced to the Second Rank and transformed into a subspecies Bloodline of the Fuyao Roc, its sensitivity to Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence, Spirit Medicine, and Spiritual Ores had improved even further.

Moreover, its perception of powerful Yao Beasts would also be stronger.

This was an advantage unique to Yao Beasts.

The place where the Flood Dragon resided must be a location rich in Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence, and perhaps even residual faint Dragon Might.

Relying on this clumsy method, he could at least narrow down the scope and avoid having to slowly grope around underwater.

Five days later.

"Caw~~"

Embracing Star chirped softly, its feathers standing up one by one.

It meant that the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence was the densest nearby, and there was a residual aura that made it feel extremely uneasy and frightened.

"It seems this is the place!"

Yu Xuzi nodded, and immediately the man and bird flew away from the area, stopping a thousand li to the south.

He took out the Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger, while his main body took Embracing Star into the Yuxu Grotto-Heaven, letting the treasure pearl silently sink into the seabed.

The key of the heavens absolutely could not be brought along.

Otherwise, if the Flood Dragon snatched it directly, everything would be ruined.

June fifth, sunset.

Yu Xuzi controlled the Xuan Sha Heavenly Tiger to arrive at the suspected location of the Dragon Palace. With a swipe of the tiger claw, a claw mark dozens of zhang long descended from the sky, ripping through the calm sea surface.

"Rumble~"

Surging waves suddenly rose; he intended to lure the Flood Dragon out.

"Senior Black Dragon King, this humble Daoist Taiyin wishes to conduct a monumental trade with the Dragon King!"

The rolling sound waves passed directly into the seabed.

If there truly was a Flood Dragon beneath the sea, with its Third Rank cultivation, it would certainly be able to sense his presence.

A moment later.

A streak of black shadow floated up from the abyss tens of thousands of feet deep.

Immediately afterward, the entire sea surface suddenly sank, centered around that black shadow, forming a terrifying whirlpool several li in diameter.

Countless fish and shrimp that couldn't escape, and even massive whales and sharks, were torn into pieces by the irresistible suction force, unable even to let out a cry.

The roaring sound of rushing seawater echoed through the heavens.

Then, time seemed to freeze for an instant.

"Awwwwng——————!!!"

An earth-shaking Dragon Roar suddenly exploded from the water surface.

From the center of that massive whirlpool, a black long shadow, fully one hundred and thirty zhang long, burst out of the sea.

Tens of millions of tons of seawater were forcefully smashed open and torn apart by it, thrown high into the sky, forming a circular waterfall wall of water a thousand zhang high.
