525: Chapter 525 Immortal Abode Treasure Vault, Celestial Star Map
This hall, hidden behind a spatial rift, was cast entirely from an unheard-of Immortal Gold, with seven-colored flowing light slowly wandering across its surface like a living thing.
Above the hall doors, there was no plaque, only layer upon layer of extremely profound immortal Dao Restrictions.
Interlinked with each other, they formed an airtight inescapable net.
Anyone below the True Immortal realm who dared to touch them would have both their spirit and form extinguished in an instant.
Shen Yuanmo, however, simply stood there calmly.
The moment he stepped into this area, the core of the entire Immortal Abode emitted a slight hum, as if welcoming its true master.
His Divine Sense, which had already transformed into a Half-Step Immortal Soul, required no cracking process.
It easily penetrated those immortal Dao Restrictions and connected with the core hub in the deepest part of the hall.
Rumble—
The heavy doors swung inward of their own accord, without kicking up a single speck of dust.
A blast of Immortal Spirit Qi, a thousand times denser than the outside world, rushed toward him, mingled with the exotic fragrances of various Materials and Medicinal Pills.
Just taking a single breath caused the Chaos Magic Power within Shen Yuanmo's body to become a bit more active.
Inside the main hall, it was empty, save for a fist-sized light sphere floating in the center, its colors constantly shifting.
This was the hub of the entire Immortal Abode.
Shen Yuanmo reached out, his fingertips gently touching the light sphere.
In an instant, an endless torrent of information flooded into his mind.
He saw every corner of this Immortal Abode, every inch of the Restrictions, and every line of the formation arrays.
From this moment on, he was the sole Dominator of this True Immortal Cave dwelling.
With a slight thought,
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As if a giant beast that had slept for eons was awakening, low resonances echoed throughout the entire Immortal Abode.
In Shen Yuanmo's field of vision, doors that had been sealed by heavy Restrictions for countless years swung open for him with a crash.
Inside the pill room, the fragrance of medicine soared to the heavens. Countless jade shelves were filled with all kinds of immortal-grade Medicinal Pills.
Every single bottle was enough to make the Mahayana Saint Lords of the outside world fight to the death.
There was even an independent Medicinal Garden, where countless Immortal Medicines and Divine Plants that had long been extinct in the Canglan Realm were planted.
Full of vitality, even the youngest among them were tens of thousands of years old.
In the artifact room, the treasure light was dazzling, and Artifact Refining Materials were piled up like mountains.
Divine items like Nine Heavens Star Iron and Void Chaos Gold, which only existed in ancient records and legends, were actually piled up here at random.
In a corner, there were even a few broken Immortal Artifacts leaning against the wall.
Though they had lost much of their spirituality, that immortal Dao aura of immortality still made one's heart tremble.
Inside the treasury, it was even more exaggerated; mountains of Top-Grade Spirit Stones had lost their meaning.
In their place was a purer form of energy crystal—Immortal Jade.
The energy contained in a single piece of Immortal Jade was enough to support the consumption of a top-tier Holy Land for ten thousand years.
Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries truly lived up to being a former True Immortal, even after fleeing here in such a pathetic state.
The wealth accumulated over eons was still an astronomical figure.
If it were any other Cultivator from the Canglan Realm seeing such a scene,
They would likely have been ecstatic, their Dao Heart losing its footing.
But Shen Yuanmo's expression did not change in the slightest from beginning to end.
These things were certainly precious.
But to him, they were merely external objects.
After refining the Immortal Soul Origin of the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries and glimpsing that higher level of the Great Dao, his vision
Had long since transcended the pursuit of these material levels.
What he truly needed was knowledge, information, and a path to a wider world.
Shen Yuanmo's figure vanished directly from the spot, and in the next instant, he appeared before an ancient stone tower.
This place was the Scripture Pavilion of the Immortal Abode.
There were no physical books inside the tower, only hundreds of millions of light motes floating in the air, like an ocean composed of stars.
Every light mote was an information Jade Slip, sealing all the accumulations of the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries from his time as a Mortal to his attainment of the True Immortal realm.
Cultivation Techniques, secret arts, Divine Abilities, Pill Formulas, artifact recipes, formation diagrams... it encompassed everything.
There were also his experiences traveling the Universe, records of the customs of various worlds, and his insights into the Laws of the Great Dao.
This was the most precious legacy left behind by the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries.
Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged in the center of the star sea, his Half-Step Immortal Soul Divine Sense released without reservation.
"Buzz—"
The sea of light in the entire Scripture Pavilion began to boil violently.
Hundreds of millions of light motes, as if summoned by some supreme will, turned into torrents of information, frantically surging into the ancestral aperture between Shen Yuanmo's brows.
Such a terrifying impact of information would be enough to make the head of any Mahayana Saint Lord explode instantly.
But Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness was now a Chaos Universe that had become its own realm, incredibly stable.
The hundred-thousand-foot-tall chaos divine man sat in the center with eyes slightly closed, allowing the torrent of information to wash over him while remaining as immovable as a mountain.
The massive amount of information was automatically categorized, organized, and absorbed by the chaos divine man in his mind.
An unprecedented and magnificent scroll of the Universe slowly unfolded before him.
He saw a mere tip of the iceberg of the Universe.
As it turned out, True Immortal was not the end of cultivation.
Above True Immortal, there were Immortal Kings who could govern a Star Domain and whose words were Law.
There were even Immortal Emperors who presided over entire Universes, looking down upon the changing of eras and the birth and death of myriad worlds.
And the Chiming Realm, Canglan Realm, Spirit Realm, and Xuanhuang Great World where he resided were all just a few specks of dust in a remote corner called the Tian Yuan Star Domain.
The entire Tian Yuan Star Domain was so small on the map of the Universe that it didn't even deserve a clear coordinate.
Quickly, Shen Yuanmo found the answer he wanted to know.
The Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries did not die of old age, nor did his cultivation go wrong.
The reason he ended up in such a state, with his Immortal Body destroyed and his Immortal Soul heavily damaged,
Leaving only a wisp of a remnant soul to linger on, was because he had participated in an Immortal King-level war that swept through several surrounding Star Domains.
It was a war to fight for a certain Immortal Emperor's relic, where countless True Immortals fell like grass, and even Immortal Kings bled into the starry sky.
The Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries was just an insignificant participant; someone's casual strike had shattered his Immortal Dao Foundation.
By sheer luck, he brought this Immortal Abode, tore through the Void Realm, and fled in a pathetic state.
Eventually, his energy was exhausted, and like a meteorite, he crashed into the Canglan Realm, the most remote corner of the Tian Yuan Star Domain.
"So that's how it is." Shen Yuanmo no longer had any doubts in his heart.
No wonder the Laws of this realm were incomplete; it turned out the aftermath of that Immortal King-level war had shattered the rules of this Star Domain.
Among the countless pieces of information, Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense locked onto a golden Jade Slip wrapped in layers of immortal Restrictions, floating at the very top of the Scripture Pavilion.
With a thought, the Jade Slip obediently flew into his hand.
His Divine Sense probed into it.
In the next moment, a fragmented, ancient, yet incredibly vast star map unfolded in his mind.
On the star map, countless light motes were densely marked, each representing a world.
Several light motes were specifically highlighted—Chiming Realm, Canglan Realm, Spirit Realm, Xuanhuang Great World... this was precisely the star map of the Tian Yuan Star Domain!
Although it was only a fragmented corner, to Shen Yuanmo, it was already a priceless treasure.
After a long time, Shen Yuanmo slowly opened his eyes and solemnly put away the golden Jade Slip.
He stood up, his Divine Sense enveloping the entire Immortal Abode, as an unprecedented surge of ambition stirred in his chest.
The Chiming Realm and Canglan Realm were too small.
This fragmented world could no longer contain him, a flood dragon about to transform into a Dragon.
His stage was the wider sea of stars.
"This Immortal Abode is itself a top-tier flying Immortal Artifact. If the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries could drive it to perform cross-Star Domain Void shuttling, then naturally, I can too."
Shen Yuanmo's gaze was like a torch, a plan already forming in his heart.
"But before that, I need to completely refine it, erase all traces left by the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries, and stamp it with my, Shen Yuanmo's, brand."
He took a step out and returned once again to the central hall of the Immortal Abode.
Looking at the floating light sphere, Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged and formed hand seals.
The chaos dao embryo within his body and the Half-Step Immortal Soul in his Sea of Consciousness erupted with brilliant light simultaneously.
