Chapter 1024 Fusang Branch

Deep within the Great Void.

The disturbances in the void took long to dissipate.

The lengthy confrontation of magical combat concluded, and a thunderous explosion roared through the air.

The demonic light of the Vulnerable Moon and Black Moon shattered inch by inch and extinguished the void, the layers of Demon Dao patterns completely disintegrated.

The aura of the Master of the Celestial Spirit Cave fluctuated unsteadily, glaring fiercely at Gu Qi, who was slowly retracting his divine techniques, his voice cold:

"You actually summoned the Wood God Cauldron! Truly a remarkable feat, I concede my defeat without grievances."

"However, fate may bring us together again, let’s wait and see!"

Soon, the Master of the Celestial Spirit Cave broke through the layers of clouds in the Great Void, reluctantly withdrew back to the Sea Eye Demon Sect camp.

On the other side,

Peak Master Gu Qi also lightly retracted his divine techniques, the brilliant and expansive azure Kuimu divine light around him slowly subsided.

He stepped forward, his posture graceful, and landed steadily at the summit of Purple Sun Island.

Chen Hua immediately stepped forward half a step, cupping his hands:

"Thank you, Peak Master, for stepping in and resolving the crisis earlier, for shielding me from this conflict, forever indebted."

Gu Qi raised his hand slightly, smiling warmly, with a humble demeanor:

"Assistance to fellow sect members is only right, Fellow Daoist, no need for further courtesy, and no need to keep this in mind."

After these words, he carefully scrutinized Chen Hua, slowly inquiring:

"Earlier, I observed the grandeur of Fellow Daoist’s divine techniques closely, I’ve never seen such an approach."

"Is it a divine technique you comprehended on your own?"

Chen Hua’s expression was modest, nodding slightly, speaking with understated humility:

"I only dwell overseas, without orthodox Daoist scriptures to rely on, without renowned teachers to guide, exploring on my own by chance, it’s insignificant."

Gu Qi, upon hearing this, couldn’t help repeatedly nodding in admiration, his eyes filled with appreciation:

"Fellow Daoist is too modest!"

"Others might not know the difficulty of ancient techniques, but how could I not?"

"When I was young, I too passionately attempted to comprehend ancient techniques, expending decades, but gained nothing in the end, had to abandon it."

"Fellow Daoist, at such a young age, can independently comprehend two complete ancient divine techniques, truly a prodigious talent with unlimited future!"

"Peak Master is flattering me."

On the side.

It was everyone’s first encounter with the Great True Master, Yuan Hong and the Meishan Four Monsters stood solemnly, silently respectful.

Seeing this, Chen Hua turned slightly, gestured for those behind to pay respects.

"These are my disciples... Are you not paying respects to Peak Master Gu Qi?"

Yuan Hong understood immediately, stepped forward, respectfully bowing with proper courtesy:

"Junior Yuan Hong greets Peak Master Gu Qi!"

The Meishan Four Monsters followed suit, all cupping hands in salute: "We greet Peak Master!"

Gu Qi glanced at Yuan Hong, taking a closer look at his physical aura and foundational attributes, couldn’t help but smile:

"This Sea Eye magical combat, Nephew Dai Hua specifically invited Fellow Daoist’s disciple to resolve the stalemate, meeting him today, indeed a fine talent."

"No wonder Nephew Dai Hua holds you in high regard!!"

"Truly, a great master produces outstanding disciples! With a peerless teacher like Fellow Daoist Purple Sun, such disciples can be taught."

Yuan Hong, upon hearing, bowed again, replying solemnly:

"Peak Master’s praise is unwarranted."

"Junior will not disappoint expectations, will exert utmost effort in this magical combat, strive with all means to seize the opportunity!"

Gu Qi, more satisfied, nodded with a smile:

"Good! Such ambition! Cultivators like us ought to have this fearless courage in competition, I shall await your triumphant news."

Having said this, he shifted his focus back to Chen Hua, speaking:

"Fellow Daoist, the Ancient Water Mansion revealed with this Sea Eye is extraordinarily profound."

"I haven’t yet described in detail, this Water Mansion is an innate Dao venue left by a Great Monarch Dragon Race who cultivated to Four Methods Perfection in ancient times."

"This Dragon Monarch’s Dao was sky-high, one step away from seeking gold, but ultimately failed and fell here."

Chen Hua, upon hearing, was slightly moved, softly asked:

"A Four Methods Perfection Dragon Monarch? Indeed the Dao venue left by such an ancient great power, no wonder Fellow Daoists all came."

Gu Qi nodded in response:

"Indeed."

"Why not join me, Fellow Daoist?!"

"Fellow Daoist’s comprehension of ancient techniques, so different from usual orthodox cultivators’ methods, if we occupy this Water Mansion, might we not find opportunities."

Chen Hua, hearing this, nodded in agreement:

"Alright!"

...

Time swiftly passed.

Before the Sea Eye, the seven magical combats that captivated the entire Overseas Cultivation Realm’s attention settled in a short time.

Elite true inheritors from both Immortal and Demon Sects emerged, magic, divine techniques, magical treasures, and physical combat alternately showcased, the aftermath of magical combat stirred the vast sea, shocking the hearts of the observing cultivators.

Ultimately, the Evergreen Immortal Sect seized victory in five battles!

The expressions of all demonic cultivators were unsightly!!

The Master of the Celestial Spirit Cave stood at the forefront of the Demon Array, his expression icy cold, hostility deep and heavy:

"Let’s go!"

"Hmph!!"

Before leaving, he casually tossed in the air, seven Water Mansion tokens soared up, circled once in mid-air, and ultimately flew steadily towards Gu Qi.

Gu Qi received the tokens, smiling:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Then, he looked at the Water Mansion, waved his sleeve, light blossomed in his palm, the Wood God Cauldron floating in the void, the boundless azure Wood Virtue divine light spreading wide.

Countless Dao Patterns of vitality descended, intertwined, extended, transforming into a vast Heaven-Reaching Array, securely sealing the entrance to the Sea Eye Secret Realm.

Then he used the tokens to open the Water Mansion!

Gu Qi gave a command:

"Enter the Mansion!!"

...

Inside the Water Mansion.

An Immortal Sect true inheritor couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, eyes filled with shock:

"What a water-bound world!!"

Ordinary Purple Mansion Grotto Heavens are merely small worlds.

But the Ancient Water Mansion before them, its structure vast and boundless, Dao rhyme almost forming a closed loop, the atmosphere imposing.

After entering the Mansion.

Everyone dispersed, in pairs exploring the Secret Realm’s opportunities, seeking Spiritual Materials, Magical Treasures, and Daoist Scriptures left from ancient times.

Chen Hua paused his steps, gaze slightly fixed, heart instantly sensing.

His eyes flashed with Spirit Light, musing:

"Could it be that within this Water Mansion lies an opportunity resonant with me?"

His consciousness delved into the gray mist, started calculating meticulously, soon drifting toward a direction.

Away from the main domain of the Water Mansion, among remnants of walls and ruins marked with the patina of ancient years.

Countless Dragon Pattern stone carvings weathered and mottled, only faint golden Void Sun Spirit Light slowly circulating, eternally living in the dark underground.

Lo and behold, it was a treasure tree, bearing no flowers or leaves, no fruits, its branches transparent like Glazed crystal, within flowing subtle solar gold brilliance.

Chen Hua’s gaze landed on it, his eyes suddenly brightened, heart jubilant, blurting out:

"What a treasure!!"

...

In another dimension.

At the Void Sun Golden Position.

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, locked onto the Fusang Divine Branch discovered by Chen Hua in the Water Mansion Dragon Palace, a smile emerged at the corner of his mouth:

"Finally made a move!"

"But this Immortal Monarch seems a bit stingy. Only willing to leave behind this one Void Sun Treasure, rather miserly."

"Perhaps, he doesn’t hold too much hope either..."

Chen Sheng’s eyes flickered, roughly understanding the other’s thoughts.

Then, he looked at this Water Mansion, a thought arose:

"Turns out to be a Ji Shui Dragon Monarch!"

"Observing the phenomena within this Water Mansion, he also likely comprehended divine techniques on his own."

"The Dao of Ji Shui nearly reached Perfection, worthy of being called Four Declines Cultivation in the Spirit Realm, what a pity!"

Ordinary four methods barely reach the Third Decline Level, according to his accumulation, seeking gold by rights shouldn’t be an issue.

"Alas, True Monarch blocked the path!!"

"Unknown how long ago, this dimension birthed two Dao Embryos..."

"Since then, the heavenly waters of all domains have been occupied by the Spirit Mountain and Taiyi, other dimensions’ opportunities practically impossible to seek."

"This Dragon Monarch, although highly talented, couldn’t defy destiny!"

Chen Sheng mused:

"Born in the wrong era, had it been now, there might be a slim chance!"

Currently, on Ji Shui, although there are people, their state is extremely poor, might not be able to hinder the successors.
