345: The secrets of the divine treasure, peering into it from afar.

The slaughter below had entered a white-hot stage.

The Yun Family guards fell one after another.

Flesh and blood flew, broken limbs scattered, thoroughly dyeing this forest clearing a nauseating crimson.

Yun Tianhe, the Yun Family Patriarch, was still struggling, relying on his Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivation and a refined sword technique passed down for unknown years.

But the wounds on his body were also increasing.

Every swing of his sword seemed so heavy, so powerless.

On his already resolute face, only a deathly gray despair remained.

He knew, it was all over.

The Yun Family's millennium-long Legacy was about to be severed in his hands.

He no longer even had the strength to think about his daughter's fate behind him.

The shadow of death had completely enveloped him.

However, Shen Yuanmo, high above the Nine Heavens, remained indifferent to the tragic scene below.

His gaze had been fixed on the ancient beast hide map from beginning to end.

This map seemed unremarkable.

Although the beast hide material was extraordinary, it was at most the fur of some Fourth-Rank Yao Beast.

What was drawn on it were just some simple, already blurry lines of mountains and rivers.

To anyone, this was just an ordinary, even somewhat crudely made, treasure map.

But Shen Yuanmo smelled an unusual scent from this seemingly ordinary beast hide map.

It was a faint yet incredibly pure fluctuation originating from the Law of Space.

“Interesting.”

A genuine curiosity arose in Shen Yuanmo's heart.

He no longer hesitated.

With a thought.

“Heaven-Defying Comprehension, activate!”

In an instant!

In the deepest part of Shen Yuanmo's eyes, which had been as calm as a deep pool, two almost imperceptible yet dazzling golden divine lights burst forth, as if they could pierce through eternity and see through all illusions!

Insight into Origin!

Boom!

In his vision, the entire world underwent earth-shattering changes at that moment!

The bloody battlefield below, the screaming Cultivators, the ferocious Yao Beasts... everything, at this moment, shed all material disguise!

They transformed into a torrent of data composed of countless Law lines and energy particles!

And his gaze pierced through all these illusions.

It landed on the ancient beast hide map, clutched tightly in Yun Tianhe's hand!

The next moment!

An even more incredible scene occurred!

That beast hide map, in his Insight into Origin vision, began to be analyzed and stripped layer by layer!

The surface layer, composed of Yao Beast fur, instantly dissipated!

The seemingly chaotic patterns of mountains and rivers on it also faded!

Finally, what was revealed before Shen Yuanmo's eyes was the most core, most essential true appearance of this beast hide map!

It was a three-dimensional network woven from countless silver light threads, billions of times finer than hair, yet shimmering with profoundness to the extreme, as if containing the ultimate mysteries of the Universe!

Each silver light thread was a Spatial Law pure to the extreme!

They connected and resonated with each other in an inconceivable way that Shen Yuanmo had never seen before.

Forming a grand structure that, though broken, was perfectly harmonious, self-contained, and without flaws!

And at the center of this grand structure.

Shen Yuanmo saw a silver coordinate, only the size of a grain of rice, yet exuding an aura far more vast and terrifying than the Void Refinement Stage.

As if it could define a realm and reshape the order of all things!

“This... this is...”

Even with Shen Yuanmo's current Dao Heart, the moment he saw this silver coordinate.

His heart pounded uncontrollably!

His breathing became heavy!

Dao Conjunction!

This was truly the Law aura belonging to the Dao Conjunction Stage!

“So that's how it is... so that's how it is!”

Shen Yuanmo's mind was violently stirred, and an indescribable ecstasy instantly overwhelmed his reason!

“This isn't a treasure map at all!”

“This is a fragment of a spatial beacon!”

“And what it points to is not some Immortal Cave of an ancient Cultivator at all!”

“But a demiplane, formed after a peerless mighty figure of the Dao Conjunction Stage fell, where their perfectly harmonious inner world collided and fused with the Laws of this world, ultimately evolving on its own, existing independently outside the Canglan Realm!”

“Divine Repository!”

In Shen Yuanmo's mind, the records from the unofficial history miscellany he had seen in the Qingyun Sect Scripture Pavilion instantly surfaced!

Divine Repository!

Legend has it that only peerless mighty figures whose cultivation reached the heavens, attaining the Dao Conjunction Stage.

Could possibly form such an ultimate Secret Realm after their Lifespan was exhausted or they unexpectedly fell!

Within the Divine Repository, a realm forms its own heaven and earth!

Not only can it completely preserve all the Legacy, Magic Treasures, and Medicinal Pills of that mighty figure during their lifetime!

More importantly, it contains the complete Grand Dao Laws belonging to the Dao Conjunction Stage!

For any Soul Transformation or even Void Refinement Cultivator.

This is a supreme Opportunity that would drive them mad, making them spare no cost to obtain it!

Once they can enter it, even gaining the slightest enlightenment.

It would be enough to save them hundreds, or even thousands, of years of detours on their future Dao path!

“I didn't expect to encounter such a heaven-sent Opportunity as soon as I descended upon this realm!”

Shen Yuanmo forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and his dark eyes once again became profound and calm.

He was determined to get this beast hide map!

However, he was not in a hurry to act.

Because he knew that the commotion caused by this beast hide map was probably far from over.

It could make a declining immortal cultivation family guard it for hundreds of years.

And it could make a group of murderous Loose Cultivators entrenched here snatch it at all costs.

The secret of this map was probably no longer a secret.

Now, it remained to be seen how many truly big fish this muddy water could lure out.

Shen Yuanmo's gaze once again became indifferent.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the clouds, his expression calm, like a true outsider.

He would wait.

He would wait for this map to attract something truly worth his effort.

Below, the bloody slaughter finally drew to a close.

As the last Yun Family guard let out an unwilling roar and was simultaneously blasted into a rain of blood by several Magic Treasures.

On the entire battlefield, apart from the Loose Cultivators of Black Wind Stockade.

Only Yun Tianhe and the trembling girl behind him, whose face was already pale with terror, remained.

“Hahaha! Yun Tianhe! What do you have to say now?!”

The Master of Black Wind Stockade stepped on the corpse of a Yun Family guard, his ghost-head broadsword.

Pointed directly at Yun Tianhe's throat, his face filled with the arrogance and triumph of a victor.

“Hand over the map! I'll leave your father and daughter with intact corpses!”

Yun Tianhe gave a miserable smile, he looked at his hands stained with blood.

Then he looked at his daughter behind him, whose eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The last flicker of light in his eyes completely extinguished.

He slowly raised the beast hide map in his hand, which carried all his hopes, yet had also brought him utter disaster.

Just as he was about to throw this map to the opponent in exchange for a last sliver of hope for his daughter.

Suddenly!

A terrifying beast roar, powerful enough to shatter Divine Souls and make all living beings within a hundred-mile radius tremble, boomed from the deepest part of the primeval jungle!

“Roar——!!!”

A monstrous Demonic Qi of the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage, ten thousand times more terrifying than all the individuals present combined, descended like an ancient divine mountain!
