Chapter 512: Realm Guardian Treasure

The Night Sun Turtle was clearly heavily injured. The flames on its body were dim and lightless. If it hadn’t consumed a drop of Starry Universe Water before going in, it would have died in the lake even if it had ten lives.

At this moment, both Lan Yunzhu and the Suan Tian Daoist were shaken. They weren’t shocked because the Night Sun Turtle was injured, but because of the object on the withered tree that resembled a palm.

The withered tree was shaped like a hand, and this hand was holding an object. This object emitted endless Immortal Light, with streams of Immortal Dao Laws flowing from it. Each strand of these Immortal Dao Laws evolved the world’s most supreme and profound Great Dao. These laws could crush the heavens and invert yin and yang. It seemed as if they were radiating directly from a Supreme True Immortal.

Seeing these Immortal Dao Laws, even a genius like Lan Yunzhu felt her legs go weak. Such Immortal Dao Laws inspired awe. As they drew near, anyone could feel them suppressing their own Great Dao. It was as if one’s own Dao and laws were whimpering ceaselessly under the Law Divine Power of these Immortal Dao Laws!

Lan Yunzhu cultivated a Heavenly Destiny Secret Skill, yet even it was no match for such Immortal Dao Laws! Something that even a Heavenly Destiny Secret Skill struggled to contend with—how terrifying was that?

An object could be faintly seen within the endless Immortal Light, but it was impossible to make out what it was. The Immortal Light was too brilliant, too dazzling, making it impossible to see clearly. Finally, Lan Yunzhu had no choice but to open her Celestial Eye. She channeled her supreme Heavenly Destiny Secret Skill to power it, which finally allowed her to see the object within the resplendent Immortal Light.

It was a book! An incredibly ancient book. It looked perfectly natural, as if born from nature itself. To anyone looking at it, it didn’t seem like a book, but a thing of heaven and earth’s Creation. No matter where it was placed, it would become one with the world, as if it could fuse with heaven and earth at any moment.

‘What kind of power would a book like this unleash if it were opened? Perhaps the heavens and earth would be shocked, or the Ten Thousand Realms would fall silent, or the sky would weep blood as the land trembled!’

In short, Lan Yunzhu couldn’t possibly imagine what kind of world-shattering event would occur if such a book were opened.

“It’s real. It’s really like this, just as I guessed! It truly is!” Seeing the object held by the withered tree, Li Qiye couldn’t help but grow excited, muttering to himself.

Back then, as the Yin Ya, he had met the Ancestor Flow Master. They had experienced many things together. At that time, the Ancestor Flow Master had told him that a book was hidden in a Secret Realm within the First Evil Tomb—a book he had always been searching for. It was a unique book, one that even Immortal Emperors would covet, a book they would stop at nothing to obtain.

Afterward, he entered the First Evil Tomb more than once. On one occasion, he forsook all treasures and focused solely on repeatedly researching and testing the landing points of the Corpse Blood Cloud. In the end, his hard work paid off, and he finally located a Secret Realm.

Later still, he had come here once with the Qianli Immortal Emperor, but unfortunately, he had failed to obtain the book. The matter had weighed on his mind ever since. He researched it for a long time, traveled to many places, consulted countless ancient texts, and searched for innumerable records on Ancient Steles. Eventually, he discovered a viable method.

In this life, he had finally obtained the withered tree, giving him a chance to try again. In truth, not even Li Qiye was completely certain. His knowledge about the book was only a conjecture; even the Ancestor Flow Master hadn’t been entirely sure.

Moreover, there might be only one Secret Realm in the First Evil Tomb, or there could be three. In short, Li Qiye himself wasn’t very confident, but this book was worth the gamble!

Heaven did not fail the diligent. Just as he had thought, the treasure hidden in this Secret Realm was indeed this book. The legends were true, and the secrets within were real!

When the Night Sun Turtle swam up, Li Qiye immediately lifted the book from the withered tree’s grasp. Even he, who was always calm and collected, couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement as he caressed the book in his hands. It felt so real. He said, moved, “It really is it. Heaven did not fail the diligent!”

“What kind of Treasure Book is this?” the Suan Tian Daoist asked, visibly moved. He didn’t know what kind of book it was, but seeing the Immortal Light, he understood that it was absolutely extraordinary, absolutely astonishing.

Li Qiye took a deep breath and put the book away. His Life Palace opened, and he recalled the withered tree into it. Seeing the Night Sun Turtle’s cracked body, Li Qiye didn’t hesitate to take out his Treasure Bottle and drip a drop of Starry Universe Water into the turtle’s mouth.

After swallowing the drop of Starry Universe Water, the Night Sun Turtle’s spirits were instantly lifted. Under the Medicinal Power of the water, its cracked wounds began to heal.

“You’re such a spendthrift! One drop was already shocking enough, and you gave it another! Are you trying to scare everyone in the world to death?” Lan Yunzhu couldn’t help but shoot Li Qiye a look.

It was no wonder Lan Yunzhu felt this way. If anyone else saw Li Qiye use two drops of Starry Universe Water to feed a turtle, they would definitely go crazy. They would absolutely wish they could become that turtle themselves.

As for the Suan Tian Daoist, he could only give a wry smile. ‘I’m afraid there are few Cultivators in this world who are treated better than this turtle. Likely no Cultivator in the world has ever tasted Starry Universe Water, yet this turtle has drunk two drops.’

If the Cultivators of the world knew about this, they would probably be angry enough to hang themselves with noodles. Even geniuses would find that their lives were worth less than a turtle’s. A mere turtle actually drank two drops of Starry Universe Water!

By now, the Suan Tian Daoist had grown numb to Li Qiye’s extravagant, spendthrift ways. Successors of Emperor Immortal Gates, second-generation heirs of Great Teaching Territories… compared to Li Qiye’s extravagance, they weren’t even worth a fart.

“It earned it. It deserves it,” Li Qiye said with a smile. He then patted the Night Sun Turtle and added, “You’re free now. When the time comes, I’ll have someone send you back to the Night Sea.”

The Night Sun Turtle seemed to understand Li Qiye’s words and happily nuzzled against him. The space between Li Qiye’s brows opened, and he withdrew the Law Divine Chain that bound it.

Not long after Li Qiye obtained the book, with a BUZZ, a Dao Platform rose by the lake, and a Daoist Door slowly opened. It was time for them to leave.

“Let’s go. It’s time to enter the Five Great Tomb Domains,” Li Qiye said to Lan Yunzhu and the others upon seeing the Daoist Door open.

Lan Yunzhu and the Suan Tian Daoist followed Li Qiye into the Daoist Door without hesitation. Their vision went black, and they were instantly teleported out of the Secret Realm.

When the three of them were teleported out, they found themselves in a different place.

Lan Yunzhu looked around and saw a majestic landscape of rolling mountains. In fact, most of the mountains here were formed from giant rocks. Some mountains were even just single, massive stones.

Because of this, the mountains here had strange shapes. Some looked like giant eggs, others like colossal pillars. There were also piles of two or three giant rocks stacked together, resembling great gates…

Standing here gave one the illusion that there was nothing but stone in this place, that this was a world of stone.

“Such strong fluctuations of metal and stone!” Standing here, Lan Yunzhu sensed a unique aura and said in surprise, “Don’t tell me this place is rich in Treasure Gold Divine Stone?”

“You’re actually right,” Li Qiye said with a smile. “Within the First Evil Tomb, there are the Five Great Tomb Domains, and each one is different. Later generations divided the five into the realms of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The place you’re standing in now is called the Gold Realm.”

“The Five Elements Domain?” the Suan Tian Daoist asked, finding this odd. The First Evil Tomb was completely different from what he had imagined.

“You could put it that way. The Five Great Tomb Domains each have their own characteristics. Take the Gold Realm before us, for example. It is rich in Divine Stone Treasure Gold. If you want to find Dao Treasure Gold or a Heavenly Destiny True Stone, coming to the Gold Realm is definitely the right choice. You can find the world’s best Dao Treasure Gold and Heavenly Destiny True Stones here!” Li Qiye said.

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Of course, if you want to find all kinds of Spiritual Elixirs and Herbs, or even a legendary Medicine King, then you should go to the Wood Realm. That place has the most Spiritual Elixirs and Herbs. You could even say it’s where the best in the world are gathered.”

“Isn’t this place called the First Evil Tomb?” Lan Yunzhu couldn’t help but ask. “There isn’t a single tomb here, so how can it be called the First Evil Tomb?”

“Looking for tombs?” Li Qiye chuckled. “Go to the Earth Realm. You’ll definitely find the tombs you’re looking for there, and they are tombs beyond your imagination. However, if you want to go to the Earth Realm, you’d best be prepared. It’s best to go there last.”

“Why?” even the Suan Tian Daoist couldn’t resist asking.

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes. “The Earth Realm is also known as the First Tomb within the First Evil Tomb, or the Central Realm. Although the Five Great Realms are not connected, the other four all surround the Earth Realm. The Earth Realm is the most dangerous. If you want to find a fortunate encounter in one of its tombs, you’d best be prepared for a near-certain death. If you go in and come out alive, you will absolutely receive a great Creation. Of course, most people die inside. Out of ten people who enter, it’s difficult for even one to come out alive. To say it’s nine deaths and one life is an understatement. It’s more like ten thousand deaths and one life.”

“The Earth Realm is so dangerous… Don’t tell me there are ghosts?” Lan Yunzhu asked.

“Heh? Ghosts?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh. “If ghosts were just like the Ghost Race, they wouldn’t be scary at all. If you enter one of those tombs, then you’ll know what the scariest ghosts in the world truly are.”

“Are there really ghosts?” even the Suan Tian Daoist couldn’t help asking. Although the world called his Ghost Immortal Race the Ghost Race, the Ghost Immortal Race never admitted to being ghosts. In fact, they weren’t ghosts; they were living beings of flesh and blood.

There were also things in the world that people called ghosts, like the lingering obsessions in Fengdu City, but those weren’t ghosts in the true sense of the word. They were merely undying obsessions, completely different from what the world imagined ghosts to be.

I had a driving lesson yesterday and was exhausted. When I came back and saw only a dozen or so monthly tickets, my heart sank. The monthly tickets really haven’t been coming in lately.

Even though there aren’t enough monthly tickets, Xiao Sheng still chose to release four chapters.
