491: The Secret Scroll of Leisure

"Free and Unfettered One..."

The Black Giant Serpent, over twenty thousand zhang long, coiled high in the sky, its eyes deep in thought.

"I seem to have heard that name before..."

Mo Xuan's thoughts churned; the name felt somewhat familiar.

"Hmm? Trying to leave?"

Just as Mo Xuan was pondering, in the sky, forty-nine Void Rhombus Crystals, each about an inch in size, silently merged into one, piercing into the Void Realm without a sound.

However, the moment this merged, foot-long Void Rhombus Crystal made a move, Mo Xuan noticed it.

A cold snort echoed through the Void Realm, like a heavy hammer striking the foot-long, shuttle-shaped Rhombus Crystal.

Bang!

The foot-long, shuttle-shaped Rhombus Crystal trembled, then with a crash, it split back into forty-nine inch-sized Void Rhombus Crystals.

Struck by this blow, the Void Rhombus Crystals obediently remained still in the Void Realm.

Mo Xuan glanced at them, ignoring the Void Rhombus Crystals, which had lost their master and were severely damaged, and instead looked towards the place where Free and Unfettered One had died.

There, Free and Unfettered One's figure had already turned to ashes in the storm and torrent, leaving only a simple, palm-sized jade pendant.

Mo Xuan's thoughts stirred.

The Void Rhombus Crystals and the palm-sized jade pendant slowly floated towards the Black Giant Serpent coiled in the long sky, and another ancient Storage Ring appeared.

As these three items appeared not far in front of the Black Giant Serpent, a young figure surrounded by five-colored treasured swords emerged from the Void Realm.

"Old Ancestor."

Zhou Leren was slightly startled. He bowed to the Black Giant Serpent, his Divine Sense spreading out, but he did not perceive the mysterious Void Refining Great Power.

"That Void Refining Great Power..."

Zhou Leren speculated in his mind, asking tentatively, somewhat incredulous. After all, this was a Void Refining Great Power, not a common cabbage. How could he have been dealt with by the Old Ancestor in such a short time?

"Dead."

Mo Xuan nodded and said casually.

"Hiss!"

"Old Ancestor's magic power is unparalleled, unmatched in the world!"

"Command..."

Zhou Leren gasped in his heart. Even he didn't know the true extent of the Old Ancestor's strength. After his initial shock, he began to shower him with praise.

"That's enough."

In the long sky, Mo Xuan was speechless, glancing at Zhou Leren.

"Have you ever heard of this person, Free and Unfettered One?"

Mo Xuan's Divine Sense extended, sweeping over the palm-sized, ancient jade pendant floating before him, while he asked Zhou Leren.

"Free and Unfettered One... that's the Void Refining Ancestor of the Xiaoyao Sect, a legendary figure. Could this mysterious Void Refining expert be him?"

Zhou Leren pondered, many pieces of information flashing through his mind.

"Indeed."

Mo Xuan nodded, but then his Divine Sense suddenly swept, pulling out a scroll-like object from the jade pendant.

This palm-sized, ancient jade pendant was surprisingly a Storage Magic Treasure, with ample internal space, likely refined by Free and Unfettered One himself.

"Old Ancestor, it is rumored that Free and Unfettered One, the Old Ancestor of the Xiaoyao Sect, did not have good talent, and his background was also very ordinary. Back then, the Xiaoyao Sect was merely a small force with only one Nascent Soul True Lord guarding it."

"It was only in the hands of this Free and Unfettered One that it gradually became a major force overseeing a region."

"However, in recent years, the Xiaoyao Sect seems to have not been doing well, having conflicts with several Void Refining major forces in the vicinity."

"I didn't expect him to appear here today."

Seeing Mo Xuan nod, Zhou Leren recounted all the information he knew about Free and Unfettered One, a hint of emotion on his face.

After all, this was a legendary figure, yet he would fall here due to a single misstep.

"Carefree Secret Scroll..."

Mo Xuan listened to Zhou Leren's introduction while opening the scroll-like object floating before him.

Four large characters imprinted themselves in Mo Xuan's mind as the scroll unfolded.

"No wonder this person called himself Free and Unfettered One."

Looking at the name of this sixth-tier Legacy, Mo Xuan thought of Free and Unfettered One's title. This person came from the Xiaoyao Sect and obtained the Carefree Secret Scroll, so it was only natural for him to take 'Xiaoyao' as his name.

"It seems to be a Legacy specializing in the Divine Soul..."

Mo Xuan imprinted the contents of this Secret Scroll into his Primordial Spirit. The Carefree Secret Scroll aimed for the Divine Soul to transcend and enjoy carefree freedom, with its Void Refining Realm Divine Abilities mostly focused on the Primordial Spirit.

"It's worth studying."

Mo Xuan pondered. Although his Primordial Spirit was powerful, this battle today also exposed his lack of Divine Abilities for Primordial Spirit attacks.

Now with this Secret Scroll, he hoped to gain something.

At his current Realm, understanding one Dao meant understanding Ten Thousand Laws, so he could naturally comprehend the Legacy of the Human Race Cultivators. Moreover, he possessed the strengths of both races.

Mo Xuan made up his mind, put away the Carefree Secret Scroll floating before him, and placed it back into the jade pendant.

Within this jade pendant was Free and Unfettered One's entire fortune, countless secret techniques, Legacies, spirit crystals, and treasures.

"There's also one more item..."

Mo Xuan's Divine Sense stirred. Beside the jade pendant, the ancient Storage Ring flickered slightly, and a fist-sized Deep Sea Origin Stone, emitting a faint glow, appeared before Mo Xuan.

"Old Ancestor, this seventh-tier Deep Sea Origin Stone was not part of our mission this time."

Zhou Leren looked at the appearing seventh-tier Origin Stone, his expression complex, and said softly. It was this seventh-tier Deep Sea Origin Stone that had attracted Free and Unfettered One to come.

If not for the Old Ancestor, he would certainly not have survived.

"Haha..."

"They were quite willing to part with it, but now it's ours."

Mo Xuan nodded, chuckling softly. To scheme against their three families, Cen Ling Dao Palace was actually willing to take out a seventh-tier Deep Sea Origin Stone.

One must know that the seventh-tier Deep Sea Origin Stones previously mined in the Thousand Island Alliance had always been handed over to Cen Ling Dao Palace.

It wasn't until Dao Lord Xi Wu of Xi Wu Island made a Breakthrough that these seventh-tier Deep Sea Origin Stones were divided into two portions, handed over to Cen Ling Island and Xi Wu Island.

Since they were calculating against them like this, it was just right to let Cen Ling Dao Palace suffer a silent loss.

Mysterious light swirled in Mo Xuan's eyes. A space Seal appeared out of thin air, completely sealing the aura and light of the seventh-tier Deep Sea Origin Stone, then it disappeared into the palm-sized jade pendant.

After doing all this, Mo Xuan's thoughts stirred, and the ancient Storage Ring floating before him drifted towards Zhou Leren.

"You still need to walk the rest of the path yourself."

Mo Xuan instructed Zhou Leren.

The Eastern Desolate Land was too vast, with numerous forces and many powerful experts.

Even he could not directly use the Void Realm traversal ability to send Zhou Leren to the Zhongli Dynasty.

Along the way, he would definitely have to pass through the territories of various Void Refining forces, and the risk was too high.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Zhou Leren held the ancient ring in his hand, his expression serious, and he respectfully agreed.

Mo Xuan glanced slightly at the surrounding world. The power of heaven and earth swept through, restoring the damaged areas to their original state.

Then, taking Zhou Leren, the forty-nine Void Rhombus Crystals, and the Storage jade pendant before him, he disappeared from this world.
