<Do you think I can easily activate these abilities?>

 

Faced with Wang He’s slightly dissatisfied and harsh questioning, the Scavenger Tome’s Artifact Spirit stopped keeping silent and gave a misleading sneer.

 

Wang He could not answer her. Upon further thought, he realised that her statement seemed to be the truth. It was only natural that such an ability would not be simple.

 

Besides, the Artifact Spirit could not fully control the Scavenger Tome either. It was impossible for her to keep using such abilities. Otherwise, she would have taken the Scavenger Tome and escaped a long time ago.

 

These thoughts briefly flashed through his mind. Afterwards, he said nothing more and simply glanced in the direction of the cave hidden on the ancient mountain. It was obvious that this place contained a horrifying Suppression.

 

After taking several steps forward, he felt as though he was carrying the entire sky on his shoulders and back. The pressure almost crushed him. Fortunately, he was extremely strong.

 

Unlike most of the cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, he did not focus solely on cultivating and improving his Spiritual Energy. He also worked hard to cultivate his Physique as well. That was how he managed to withstand the pressure. Otherwise, his spine would have been crushed as soon as he took a step forward earlier, much less continue to progress further.

 

The mountain was very steep. Moreover, there were many spots covered with jagged and strange rocks.

 

Purple Divine Light lingered around the rocks. Combined with brilliant flashes of Green Divine Light, it was an extremely mysterious sight.

 

On the other hand, the ancient trees in the surroundings were dry and withered.

 

Growing between the cracks of the rocks, they had been surviving for countless thousands of years. Their materials were extremely firm, so much so that the wood practically resembled gold in that aspect.

 

Wang He also saw numerous corpses in weathered clothing lying everywhere. It was obvious that these corpses were former cultivators who stumbled upon this place and attempted to explore the cave. These corpses had existed for several tens of thousands of years. Some of them even glowed with Divine Light and Chaos Light.

 

“Although they are not in the Dao Realm, their strength is at least comparable to the Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Dao Civilisation… To think such powerful beings perished so easily by the side of the road. It truly is a pity. Even with innumerable universes and countless epochs, it might not be possible to produce a single individual of their calibre. Yet here they lie in droves…”

 

Sighing softly, he braced himself for the road ahead. He did not dare to underestimate the dangers ahead in the slightest. Thus, he carefully advanced toward the cave. Since there were so many corpses scattered in the surroundings, that could only mean there were many dangers he could not anticipate lurking around.

 

Inside the Scavenger Tome was a vague and indistinct space that was shrouded in a thin layer of grey mist. There were many complicated ancient patterns engraved in the surroundings, twisting and contorting like Dragons and Snakes.

 

A faint mist-like figure that seemed to have blended into the surrounding environment was looking at the outside world through the Scavenger Tome.

 

The mist swirled around her figure. Just as she was about to touch the edge, the ancient runes immediately flashed with light. Then, an inexplicable power appeared and suppressed her.

 

“Still no signs of loosening?” she murmured softly to herself. A frosty expression flashed across her blurry face and vanished in an instant.

 

…

 

“Why are you ignoring me? Are you angry because of what I said earlier?”

 

On the rugged mountain path, Mu Yan seemed to have returned to the bright and cheerful woman she had always been.

 

The corners of her skirt fluttered around her. Her hands were behind her back, and her footsteps were light and quick. Moreover, she was speaking to Gu Changge with a cheerful smile on her face.

 

Although she experienced a brief sense of discomfort and unfamiliarity at the beginning, she swiftly recovered in the blink of an eye. The past and all the concerns that used to bind her had been severed.

 

It was just as Gu Changge previously said: She was finally living her second life.

 

As for her hair which had turned grey in an instant, she did not seem to be very bothered by the transformation. On the contrary, she seemed much calmer than before. Like the storms born from the snow, she also seemed more carefree and in tune with herself. She herself enjoyed the feeling she was currently experiencing very much. It felt as though she was finally living for herself now.

 

“You managed to carve out your second life for yourself. Naturally, I am very happy for you. Why would I be angry?”

 

Gu Changge was not walking very fast. Conversely, he was moving at a leisurely pace. It was almost as though he had simply been sightseeing and enjoying the scenery throughout the journey.

 

At this moment, he could not help laughing in astonishment when he heard what Mu Yan said to him.

 

Mu Yan walked very close to him. Turning her head sideways to look at him, she bluntly explained with a sparkle in her eyes. “Because you suddenly seemed taken aback when I said those words to you earlier… I clearly sense that you’re deep in thought over something.”

 

Gu Changge smiled noncommittally and joked, “I can’t believe you can even notice something like that. So, tell me… What I was thinking about?”

 

“I can sense that you were thinking of somebody, but that person is definitely not me.” She wrinkled her nose and deliberately continued in an envious tone, “To be honest, I did not expect that you would actually have somebody you cared about in your heart.

 

“I have always thought that a person as detached from worldly affairs as yourself would not participate in the affairs of the secular world. On the contrary, I expected you to stand high above the Nine Heavens and watch over the vast world from above. I didn’t think that you would actually have genuine emotions and desires. Even if you normally treat people with kindness and warmth, the truth is that you are fundamentally different from the rest of the world. I can very clearly sense that.”

 

After listening to her statement, it was his turn to be surprised.

 

She glanced sideways at him and added, “Did you think that I am stupid? I have been living in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation for so many years. Even when I was making enemies everywhere, I managed to survive until now. It is impossible for someone, who managed to survive in such a world, to be that simple headed. That is why, during our first meeting, I assumed that you were a Young Master from some hidden Family who came out to gather experience through training but knew nothing about the world. I simply wanted to give you some advice out of kindness; who could have known that your true identity was hidden so deep?”

 

At this point, she could not help thinking that something was strange about the world.

 

Gu Changge was certainly very surprised to hear her words. He had always assumed that Mu Yan’s temperament was an inherent characteristic. But, if he actually thought about her circumstances, how could she actually be naïve, kind, and foolish when she grew up in such an environment?

 

Nevertheless, he did not provide a further explanation. As smart as she was, she naturally did not probe any further either. It was almost as though she had some kind of tacit understanding of him.

 

“You can keep the Eternal Divine Furnace. Although I have no idea whether it will be of any use to you, I really don’t want to see anything related to the past anymore. That includes the Eternal Divine Furnace.”

 

Mu Yan lifted her hand. The Eternal Divine Furnace that Gu Changge returned to her earlier appeared in her palm, along with the lid.

 

It was true that the Eternal Divine Furnace was the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Artifact, but the Eternal Divine Furnace had been lost for such a long time that it could be considered ownerless.

 

Besides, there were countless opportunities in the world. She did not think that she would be unsuccessful in the future just because she no longer had the Eternal Divine Furnace in her possession,

 

When she previously fell into a spiral of depression, and got close to the Dao of Ruthless Destruction, she had clearly sensed something. Her strength had undergone tremendous changes.

 

Every single cell in her body seemed to have come alive, and they were bursting into cheers. At this point, she could already vaguely perceive the path she should take in the future.

 

“If you don’t want it, then I’ll happily receive it. It seems that I will have to take a trip to the Divine Eternal Clan when I have some time on my hands in the future to collect the Eternal Divine Sword as well.”

 

Gu Changge nodded slightly and did not refuse. In any case, he had already guessed that she would no longer want to possess the Eternal Divine Furnace.

 

After Mu Yan handed the Eternal Divine Furnace to Gu Changge, her mood lightened considerably. Then, she quickly and briskly walked ahead.

 

Beyond the mountain of ancient trees was the area which had resonated with the Eternal Divine Furnace. She believed that one of the Divine Eternal Clan’s Eternal Divine Artifacts could be found there.

 

If the cultivator known as Wang He had not deceived her, then this journey would be very smooth.

 

…

 

At this moment, outside the Azure Sky Realm. The terrifying portal that stretched across the sky was radiating with brilliant Divine Light as usual, and the light illuminated the nearby universes with incredible splendour.

 

Despite the chaos everywhere, a constant stream of cultivators continued to rush over and enter the Azure Sky Realm. However, an inexplicable yet terrifying aura suddenly emerged at this moment.

 

Several horrifying figures walked out from a certain area. Their expressions were dour to the point of becoming frightening. Moreover, the Spacetime around them had gone blurry and the Chaotic Qi had collapsed.

 

“How is that possible!?”

 

These people were none other than the Elders who previously accompanied Li Yang from the Divine Eternal Clan to the entrance of the Azure Sky Realm.

 

Those nearby, regardless of the level of their cultivation, could only tremble like lambs before a Dragon under their powerful and terrifying aura. Onlookers’ bodies quivered in fear, and they did not dare to move.

 

The terrifying aura shook the entire world. Even the Star Territories in the surrounding fell silent in response.

 

They were genuine Dao Realm experts. Not only were they capable of penetrating the universe with a single hand, but they could also use their thoughts to create a Small Universe in the midst of chaos.

 

Their strength was practically unimaginable. In fact, any one of them was completely qualified to establish their own respective Force and be honoured as an Ancestor.

 

At this moment, they were livid. It was just that they were suppressing their rage and disbelief. The situation was completely beyond their expectations. They originally thought that the trip would be smooth sailing, but they suddenly received news of Li Yang’s death instead.

 

The hope of the Divine Eternal Clan, Li Yang, had perished inside the Azure Sky Realm!

 

The news came so unexpectedly that they were frozen in shock for some time. When they finally returned to their senses, they could barely believe their ears. Nevertheless, the news had come directly from the Clan.

 

Li Yang’s Life Lamp had shattered just moments ago, implying that he had perished inside the Azure Sky Realm.

 

Seeing as the Divine Eternal Clan’s land was located very far from this place, it would have taken some time for the news to reach them. In other words, Li Yang had been dead for some time now.

 

“If Li Yang had continued to grow and develop, his future achievements would surely have surpassed us. But now, he seems to have perished inside the Azure Sky Realm in such an inexplicable and suspicious manner. How can we accept something like that?”

 

They were extremely furious and aggrieved. Even though they were Dao Realm experts, they had failed to protect their Clan’s Divine Son.

 

One of the Divine Eternal Clan Elders glared at the Azure Sky Realm and howled in rage. Raising his hand, he reached out with his palm and attempted to tear the Azure Sky Realm apart.

 

When the others noticed his actions, they hurriedly tried to stop him. Unfortunately, they were already too late.

 

A terrifying aura carrying the unstoppable force of a world-destroying mountain torrent suddenly burst out from the portal of the Azure Sky Realm with a deafening roar. The force seemed to shake the eternal foundation of Heaven and threatened to wash away the River of Time.

 

Billions of rays of Divine Light rose into the sky, illuminating the depths of the pitch-black universe. Then, the light seemed to transform into an Eternal Sword and slashed down on the Divine Eternal Clan’s Elder.

 

*Bleurgh!*

 

As strong as those in the Dao Realm were, even they were powerless against the Azure Sky Realm.

 

The hand of the Divine Eternal Clan’s Elder was submerged in the light and immediately exploded into pieces. The spine-chilling sight of his finger bones covered in blood was absolutely terrifying.

 

On the other hand, he himself coughed up a mouthful of blood. The impact nearly caused his figure to be thrown out of the universe.
