The discovery of money

Since Su Ming left the Qianyuan Continent, his cultivation of the Chaos Scripture had slackened slightly.

It wasn't that he was being lazy because he prided himself on his extraordinary talent.

Rather, even with his terrifying talent, he couldn't divide his focus to Cultivate the Source Codex of Creation and the Chaos Scripture—two top-tier cultivation techniques—while concentrating on the Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos.

Thus, Su Ming had set aside the Chaos Scripture and devoted his spare energy to cultivating the Source Codex of Creation.

This was why the Source Codex of Creation had reached the second level on the System panel, while the Chaos Scripture remained at the first level.

Su Ming had tried to merge with a spatial anchor to leave this secret room.

It was only then that he discovered the entire secret room was filled with extremely dense 'Chaos Qi'.

Due to its interference, all the spatial anchors were in disarray.

If he merged into them haphazardly, he might get lost within the spatial turbulence.

Even if he could eventually leave, Su Ming couldn't guarantee where he would end up.

To leave now, he either had to try a brute-force Breakthrough with the heaven-destroying whip or obediently follow instructions and Cultivate 'Chaos Fire'.

The former was unlikely to work; Su Ming's intuition told him that if he dared to act, something very serious would likely happen.

Therefore, his only path was to Cultivate 'Chaos Fire'.

"Hang City has battle spirit puppets, and both the Blood Sword Tower and the Sword Pavilion were severely weakened by me; they won't be able to cause trouble for a while..."

The more he said this, the more Su Ming felt a lack of confidence.

So, he tried using Heavens Mandate Vision to see the specific situation.

But as soon as he activated Heavens Mandate Vision, Su Ming was stunned.

Unlike before, when he could directly see the trajectories of fate, this time he could only see a patch of Chaos.

This was the first time such a situation had occurred since he obtained Heavens Mandate Vision.

"Just how strong was the Chaos Dao Lord? The Legacy he left behind can even interfere with an ability granted by the System..."

Su Ming's intuition was right; if he had really tried to use the heaven-destroying whip to break open the secret room just now, his end would have been absolutely tragic.

Even though he still had his parents' will and a heavenly dao realm talisman with him.

But even if he used all of those, they might not necessarily be able to shake this secret room.

"Is this the power of the Limitless Realm?"

Catching a glimpse of the Limitless Realm's power, Su Ming felt not fear, but excitement!

Because the Legacy left by the Chaos Dao Lord had shown him that as long as one could reach the Limitless Realm, the shackles of fate would absolutely not be an issue.

One must know that even in the Outer Void, Su Ming could observe the supreme heavenly mandate through Heavens Mandate Vision.

But here, Heavens Mandate Vision had actually failed.

Suppressing his excitement, Su Ming sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the surrounding 'Chaos Qi' to assist in cultivating the Chaos Scripture.

By now, he had to race against time to master 'Chaos Fire' before the Sword Pavilion and the Blood Sword Tower took action... "Pavilion Master, this is the list of people who have completed their studies in this batch. Please take a look."

The maid respectfully handed a list to Qian Youcai.

Qian Youcai glanced at it briefly before setting it down, then said nonchalantly, "Is there any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, that matter still needs some time..."

As the maid spoke, her expression was incredibly panicked, clearly afraid that Qian Youcai would be enraged.

"This matter is indeed not simple... Send word down that I'll give them another month. If there's still no news after a month..."

After speaking, Qian Youcai waved his hand, signaling the maid to withdraw.

"Yes, Pavilion Master." The maid lowered her head and slowly backed out of the room.

Only after she left did Qian Youcai specifically look at the list.

He knew very well how important this list was, but in front of outsiders, he had to appear indifferent.

Only in this way could he minimize the attention the supreme heavenly mandate paid to him.

Through Fortune and Blessing, Qian Youcai could see the changes in the people on the list after they practiced the Primal Chaos Sword Art.

With just a single glance, Qian Youcai discovered an anomaly.

"Hmm?"

This anomaly did not come from anyone on the list, but from Su Ming himself.

His originally extremely shattered fate had actually become a tiny bit stronger.

"Has this kid encountered some Opportunity recently?"

Qian Youcai found it unbelievable.

There weren't many opportunities in the entire Outer Void that could affect the fate of a Supreme Chaos Body.

"Could it be that this kid has come into contact with a Legacy left behind by some Limitless Realm expert?"

"I need to take a closer look at what exactly is going on..."

Qian Youcai focused all his energy on Su Ming's fate, attempting to lock onto the Legacy's location through Fortune and Blessing.

But in the process of tracing it back to the source, a massive sense of crisis suddenly descended.

Intuition told Qian Youcai that he must not continue, no matter what.

At the Heavenly Dao Realm, intuition was to some extent more reliable than one's own conscious judgment.

But the more it was like this, the more it proved he was about to touch upon the truth.

In his hesitation, Qian Youcai decided to continue observing.

Just as he made up his mind to continue, he suddenly realized with a shock that at the end of his vision—within the pitch-black vortex where Su Ming's fate was heading—a pair of eyes seemed to be staring at him.

As if he had come into contact with something extremely terrifying, Qian Youcai decisively gave up on continuing to cast Fortune and Blessing.

He didn't know why those eyes were at the end of Su Ming's fate, nor did he understand who the other party was or how much power they possessed.

But he knew that if he really met those eyes... he would die!

What was even more terrifying to him was that his memory was actually automatically forgetting the details from just now.

With his cultivation at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, he could actually be affected by those eyes... For such power, Qian Youcai could only think of one Realm: the Limitless Realm.

The moment this realization appeared in his mind, all previous memories regarding this were completely erased, including the fact that he had realized the existence of a Limitless Realm powerhouse.

"Eh... what was I planning to do? Oh, right, see if this list can change that kid's fate."

"Oh? It actually worked? Good, good, good. That kid's fate has indeed strengthened a bit. I need to think if there are any other ways to enhance his fate..."

"This kid's situation is special; most legacies, even those of the Heavenly Dao Realm, can't help him..."

"Legacies left behind by the Limitless Realm aren't things I can see. This is tough... Hmm?! Wait, why has the Heavenly Mandate focused on me? I clearly haven't been exposed!"

Sensing this, Qian Youcai had a premonition that things were going south.

He couldn't understand why he had inexplicably drawn the attention of the supreme heavenly mandate.

What he found even more incomprehensible was that the supreme heavenly mandate had crept up on him quietly.

By the time he noticed, his fate had already become entangled with the supreme heavenly mandate.

Qian Youcai's expression instantly became extremely unsightly; he didn't want to become a pawn of the supreme heavenly mandate.

But what he didn't expect was that after becoming entangled with the supreme heavenly mandate, he saw a beam of light that stung his eyes and even lit up the entire Outer Void...
