362: Entering the gates of myriad methods, exploring the divine treasures once more.

Qing Xuzi's decisiveness made a flash of approval cross Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

A Sect that knows how to place bets and dares to place heavy bets is one worth cooperating with.

"Good."

Shen Yuanmo nodded calmly, officially accepting the matter.

As that single word fell, Qing Xuzi's tense face instantly relaxed, his smile as brilliant as the warm spring sun.

He immediately took action, afraid that this peerless Prodigy, whom he had just invited into the Sect, would regret his decision the next second.

"Elder Shen, we shouldn't delay. Let's enter the city now!"

Qing Xuzi personally led the way, and the flying boat carrying Shen Yuanmo did not encounter any questioning or obstruction this time.

The city guards saw the White Jade Tower Ship, which symbolized the identity of the Wanfa Immortal Sect, from afar.

Sensing the vast aura of the Void Returning Great Expert radiating from Qing Xuzi, how could they dare to show the slightest negligence?

They skipped even the most basic inspection procedures and respectfully activated the city gate Restriction.

They yielded an exclusive passage that only top-tier powers were allowed to use.

The flying boat turned into a streak of light and smoothly entered this Sky City, which floated above the Nine Heavens.

Upon entering the city, it was a completely different, breathtaking sight.

Magnificent palaces and jade towers floated scattered about. Immortal Cranes flapped their wings, and Spiritual Deer trod upon clouds, moving back and forth among the pavilions.

Brilliant Rainbow Bridges, formed by the convergence of extremely pure Spiritual Qi, spanned the various floating islands, forming unique aerial thoroughfares within the city.

Countless Cultivators drove multicolored escape lights, rapidly moving between the Rainbow Bridges and buildings, depicting a scene of prosperous Immortal family grandeur.

Qing Xuzi did not linger in the city; his thoughts were urgent.

He directly led Shen Yuanmo and his party to an exclusive courtyard established by the Wanfa Immortal Sect within the city.

This courtyard occupied a vast area. Inside, the pavilions and towers created a scene with every step, and the garden layout secretly conformed to a Spirit Gathering Great Array.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi here was more than ten times denser than the outside world, almost condensing into tangible mist.

As soon as the flying boat landed, Qing Xuzi was already impatient.

With a flick of his sleeve, a token—entirely refined from the Essence of Stars and inscribed with thousands of profound runes—appeared in his palm.

Starlight flowed across the surface of the token, emanating a deep and ancient aura.

"Elder Shen, this is the Guest Elder Token of my Wanfa Immortal Sect."

Qing Xuzi presented the token with both hands, the reverence in his tone seeming genuine.

"With this token, your status in our Sect is equal to mine."

"You can freely mobilize all the branch halls and assets of the Wanfa Immortal Sect spread throughout the entire Eastern Domain."

"Within the Sect, apart from a few Forbidden Grounds involving the fundamental Dao Legacy, you may travel freely without obstruction!"

Shen Yuanmo reached out and took the token; it felt slightly heavy and cold to the touch.

His Divine Sense probed into it, and he instantly perceived a unique and powerful Law imprint.

This imprint was closely linked to the Luck of the Wanfa Immortal Sect in the ethereal realm, making counterfeiting absolutely impossible.

He lightly rubbed the token with his fingertip for a moment, then put it away with satisfaction.

"Yun Tianhe."

"Your subordinate is here!"

Yun Tianhe shuddered, quickly stepped forward, and bowed deeply, his attitude extremely humble.

"You and Wan'er should settle down here for now."

Shen Yuanmo's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"If you have any needs, you can mobilize the resources here yourself."

"Yes, Master!"

Yun Tianhe's voice trembled with extreme excitement. He kowtowed forcefully, nearly cracking his forehead.

He knew that from this moment on, the fate of his Yun Family, and the fate of his daughter...

...would undergo earth-shattering changes because of a single word from the man before him!

After settling the Yun Family father and daughter, Shen Yuanmo, personally accompanied by Qing Xuzi, entered a heavily guarded palace deep within the courtyard.

Outside the palace, there was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five, all of them highly cultivated Nascent Soul Cultivators.

In the center of the palace was an incomparably huge, ancient Teleportation Array.

Countless complex Space Runes were inscribed on the floor and stone pillars, emitting a faint silver glow.

"Elder Shen, please!"

Qing Xuzi conjured a Magic Seal and activated the Teleportation Array.

A soft starlight instantly enveloped the two of them, and the surrounding space began to twist violently.

In the next moment, the stars shifted, and the universe inverted.

When Shen Yuanmo opened his eyes again, the sight before him caused his pupils to contract slightly.

He was already standing in a brand new, vast world.

As far as the eye could see, there were ninety-nine massive Floating Immortal Mountains, too huge to describe!

Each Immortal Mountain was as vast as a real star, suspended in the Void Realm, radiating immense pressure.

The ninety-nine Immortal Mountains were not stationary; instead, they followed an incomparably profound trajectory.

They slowly rotated in the Void Realm, echoing each other, forming a terrifying Star Great Array that enveloped an area of several million miles!

At the center of the Great Array, Immortal Qi was dense like a sea, and the power of Laws interwoven into a net, naturally evolving into astonishing celestial phenomena like the rotation of the sun and moon, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

Its grandeur and profound heritage!

This was the true Foundation and spirit that a first-rate Immortal Dao Legacy, which had stood in the Eastern Domain for countless years, ought to possess!

"Elder Shen, this is the headquarters of my Wanfa Immortal Sect—the Myriad Laws Star Domain."

A genuine sense of pride appeared on Qing Xuzi's face.

He didn't offer many introductions. Driving his escape light, he directly led Shen Yuanmo toward the most central of the ninety-nine Immortal Mountains.

On that Immortal Mountain, only one structure stood alone.

It was a towering, nine-story pagoda, Ten Thousand Zhang high, built entirely of some unknown pure white jade stone.

Innumerable profound Great Dao Runes were naturally formed on the body of the pagoda.

They seemed to possess life, slowly flowing across the pagoda body and emanating a vast aura that suppressed the ages and ensured eternal Legacy.

On the plaque at the top of the pagoda, three ancient characters, written with vigorous strokes of Dragon and Phoenix, contained endless dao rhyme.

[Myriad Dao Pavilion]!

"Elder Shen, this is the Myriad Dao Pavilion, where my Wanfa Immortal Sect stores its core Legacy."

Qing Xuzi pointed at the pagoda, his voice solemn.

"According to the promise of the Sect Master and the Grand Elders, with your Guest Elder Token, you can freely browse all the Cultivation Techniques and classics on the eight floors below the top level of the Myriad Dao Pavilion, without any Restrictions."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Shen Yuanmo nodded slightly toward Qing Xuzi.

Without any politeness or hesitation, his figure flashed.

He transformed into a streak of light and flew directly into the wide-open, massive entrance of the Myriad Dao Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the pavilion, a vast aura of knowledge, like a sea of smoke, washed over him.

Rows upon rows of bookshelves, crafted from incomparably precious Soul Nourishing Wood, soared into the clouds, with no end in sight.

They were densely packed with Jade Slips, beast hides, and Golden Books of various materials.

Their number was truly countless, like the sands of the Ganges, impossible to measure!

Shen Yuanmo wasted no time.

His figure did not stop, and he went directly to the eighth floor.

What was stored here were the core Legacy classics of the Wanfa Immortal Sect.

Any single Jade Slip, if leaked to the outside world, would be enough to cause a bloody storm in the Cultivation World!

He found an open space and sat down cross-legged.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the power of his Divine Soul roared into action!

The [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] Talent was activated to its maximum extent at this moment, without any reservation!

Buzz—!

His terrifying Divine Sense, centered on him, swept out like an invisible storm.

It instantly surged out, transforming into billions of invisible tentacles, completely enveloping the massive collection of classics on the entire eighth floor!

[Insight into Origin] activated!

[Perfect Deduction] activated!

In an instant, an endless torrent of knowledge, like the Heavenly River pouring backward, surged frantically into his Sea of Consciousness!

The explanations and mysteries of various Law Legacies from the great experts of the Wanfa Immortal Sect throughout the ages!

The essence of countless exquisite Array Dao Restrictions!

The hidden secrets of the Ancient Era sealed away in the river of time!

Countless pieces of profound, obscure knowledge that ordinary people would need hundreds or thousands of years to comprehend even a sliver of, were in his mind...

...being rapidly absorbed, analyzed, converted, and deduced at an almost unreasonable speed!

His understanding of the Great Dao Laws, supported by the massive collection of classics...

...began to surge wildly once again, constantly being verified, fused, and sublimated with his own Chaos Great Dao!

His comprehension of the Array Dao advanced by leaps and bounds, directly crossing several thresholds and reaching a completely new height!

While frantically absorbing knowledge and strengthening his own Foundation, Shen Yuanmo did not forget his other core objective.

A portion of his Divine Sense split off, accurately searching through the massive collection of ancient classics for all records related to the Zixiao Divine Treasury.

Soon.

He found a more detailed record in an Unofficial History written personally by an ancient Great Expert of the Wanfa Immortal Sect.

The Jade Slip clearly mentioned that the Zixiao Divine Treasury...

...was formed from the internal world of Dao Lord Zixiao, a Hedao Realm Great Expert who controlled the Great Dao of Thunder, after his demise in the Ancient Era.

This Divine Treasury was not fixed in one location in the Canglan Realm.

Instead, it drifted aimlessly within the endless Space-Time Turbulence, its whereabouts uncertain.

Every thousand years, when it reached a specific Space-Time Node...

...it would briefly intersect with the Canglan Realm, leaking a trace of its aura and thus revealing its location.

According to the deduction of that Great Expert, there was only... less than half a year left until the next opening of the Divine Treasury!

Time suddenly became pressing!

Just as Shen Yuanmo was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, frantically improving his own Foundation...

Outside, the vast Intelligence Network of the entire Wanfa Immortal Sect also began operating frantically with terrifying efficiency.

Qing Xuzi personally presided over the Intelligence Hub, using the authority of a Guest Elder.

He mobilized tens of thousands of the Sect's Hidden Agents and strongholds across the entire Eastern Domain.

An invisible great net was cast out from the Myriad Laws Star Domain, covering every inch of the Eastern Domain.

Like searching for a needle in a haystack, they searched for any clues regarding the last divine treasury key.

One month later.

Just as Shen Yuanmo had finished browsing through nearly half of the massive collection of classics on the eighth floor of the Myriad Dao Pavilion...

Qing Xuzi, with a solemn expression, arrived outside the Myriad Dao Pavilion and sent a message via the token.

He brought two pieces of news.

One was bad news.

Taiyi Sword Sect, another behemoth in the Eastern Domain, also seemed to have set its sights on the Zixiao Divine Treasury.

Not long ago, they also mobilized the power of their Sect.

They were frantically searching for the whereabouts of the divine treasury key throughout the entire Eastern Domain, and the power they invested was even greater than that of the Wanfa Immortal Sect!

Clearly, Sword Dust Master had reported the immense humiliation of that day to the Sect, without missing a single word.

The Taiyi Sword Sect intended to use the full might of the entire Sect to regain face!

The other piece of news was tentatively considered good news.

After a month of all-out investigation, regardless of cost, they finally captured a crucial clue.

That final divine treasury key was highly likely related to the mysterious Master behind the Tianfeng City underground black market—the Lord of the Ghost Market!
