The mysterious sender was very cautious. They did not reveal their true identity and simply sent a messenger to deliver the item. Even their aura had been carefully concealed. Nevertheless, Gu Changge easily determined the identity of the mysterious sender after a brief deduction. It was none other than the supposed ‘Eternal Saintess’, who had tried to snoop on him outside the Azure Sky Realm.

 

Her actions had not bothered him at the time. Besides, the Nine-Coloured Jade Void Immortal Stone radiating with Immortal aura in front of him was equivalent to her apology for her actions back then.

 

“If my guess is correct, she has at least one Eternal Divine Artifact in her possession. Is she worried that I might attack her? Is that why she doesn’t dare to meet me in person?” He chuckled.

 

Although he accepted the Nine-Coloured Jade Void Immortal Stone, the material itself was not enough for him to repair the damaged parts of the Sphere of Ambition.

 

When thinking about the incident outside the Azure Sky Realm, he abruptly recalled the treasures left behind by the Eternal Prime God there. It was the treasure left behind by an existence that had survived his Ninth Decay Tribulation and nearly reached the Supreme Dao Realm. Among the potential legacy that was left behind, there had to be several materials that were useful to him in that cultivation level.

 

On that note, the five Eternal Divine Artifacts could be condensed and refined into a key to unlock the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Treasury.

 

Gu Changge immediately took a step forward with that thought in mind, and his figure instantly vanished from the courtyard.

 

At the same time, Luo Xiangjun breathed a sigh of relief in her hiding spot inside the Void. Noticing that the remaining aura clinging to the Nine-Coloured Jade Void Immortal Stone had been erased, she knew that meant Gu Changge had accepted her apology.

 

“I have wasted so much time in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation only to receive nothing in the end. In fact, I even lost a material akin to a Supreme Treasure …” A pained and frustrated expression appeared on her beautiful face. Be that as it may, she quickly recovered and returned to her usual elegant appearance. She resembled a Goddess, seemingly incomparably majestic and noble.

 

She planned to leave the Immortal Spirit Civilisation and head towards another nearby Civilisation to see if she could gain anything there. After all, she had been trapped in the Sixth Decay for many years. If she does not find an opportunity to break through soon, she would surely perish and disappear from existence when her Seventh Decay Tribulation comes.

 

To be honest, she did not have the confidence to prevail over this Tribulation. The Ancestral Dao Realm was just one of the thresholds, and each threshold would only become increasingly difficult to overcome the further she progressed in her cultivation.

 

Just as she planned to depart, she suddenly perceived a strange fluctuation coming from the Void behind her. A slow and unhurried voice came from the Void.

 

“Lady Luo, please wait.”

 

Those words stunned her for a moment. Before she even recovered from the shock, she turned to look behind her and saw that the space had become blurry.

 

Ripples spread outward at that spot, and then a figure in white leisurely walked out from the Void. The figure turned out to be a man who seemed gentle and indifferent to worldly affairs.

 

However, she immediately stiffened at the sight of the man. Her pupils abruptly contracted, and a chill ran down her spine. It felt as though her entire scalp had gone numb in an instant. Furthermore, the horrifying chill that enveloped her whole body practically made her freeze on the spot.

 

[Gu Changge!? How did he locate me? How did he even find this place!?]

 

She had used a Special Treasure to conceal any existing aura and energy fluctuations. Even for an Ancestral Dao Realm expert, it should have been impossible to deduce her location. Not to mention, she also used a Dharma Body to send a messenger to deliver the Nine-Coloured Jade Void Immortal Stone. In fact, she even had a proxy send it for her while she immediately severed her connection with her Dharma Body once the proxy was gone – so that there was no relation between the Dharma Body and her True Body.

 

Despite taking such precautions, Gu Changge had still uncovered her whereabouts.

 

At this moment, her face turned pale beneath the veil she wore. [Just how terrifying is this man!?]

 

“Lady Luo, why are you so afraid of me?” Gu Changge glanced at the gorgeous woman before him, who was wearing a long golden dress, and shook his head.

 

“Greetings, Young Master Gu. Why did you come here today?” Luo Xiangjun composed herself with some difficulty and studied him with a complicated look in her eye. After a moment, she regained her usual calm demeanour and gracefully greeted him.

 

She did not know how he determined her location or how he came here, but she should not show any hostility if she knew what was good for her. Since he had accepted the Nine-Coloured Jade Void Immortal Stone she sent, he should not be here to harm her… at least that was what she hoped.

 

“I want to make a deal with you.” He smiled.

 

She was taken aback for a moment. Although she had considered many possibilities, she had not expected this.

 

[Make a deal with me? What kind of deal? Why would you make a deal with me of all people?]

 

“Please elaborate, Young Master Gu.” Several questions flashed through her mind, but she did not probe too deeply into the matter.

 

He nodded approvingly. Dealing with an intelligent person was certainly nice. He would not need to waste too much time on this matter.

 

“I know that you possess the other two Eternal Divine Artifacts, and I have the other three Eternal Divine Artifacts.” He casually said.

 

Those words made her pupils contract and her heart tremble. [How did he know that I possess the other two Eternal Divine Artifacts!? I have never revealed this fact to anybody before!]

 

He was not surprised to see her expression. If the other two Eternal Divine Artifacts had not been in her possession, she would not have been so scared of him after all.

 

“Young Master Gu, the deal you mentioned… Is it related to the Eternal Prime God’s Divine Treasury?”

 

Having roamed the Boundless Expanse for countless epochs, she could guess the reason for his arrival. Nevertheless, she was surprised that he had not taken any action to seize the two Eternal Divine Artifacts from her even though he knew they were in her possession.

 

“Rather than a deal, it would be more appropriate to say that this is a cooperation. The Eternal Divine Artifacts in our possession should be able to unlock the Divine Treasury.” He smiled.

 

She nodded in agreement. At the same time, a light flashed through her eyes.

 

As long as one obtained the five Eternal Divine Artifacts, one could refine and forge them into a key to unlock the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Treasury. Now that they had the complete set of Eternal Divine Artifacts, they could obtain whatever was inside now.

 

“Are you planning to cooperate with me and search for Divine Treasury together?” she asked.

 

He nodded slightly. “What do you think, Lady Luo?”

 

There was no denying that he could have taken action directly and seized the two Eternal Divine Artifacts from her. However, he had taken the fact that she was a Robber into account when he made his decision.

 

Having roamed the Boundless Expanse for years, she was bound to be familiar with various places. It could be said that she had a good understanding of the current overall situation in the Boundless Expanse. That was one of the reasons why he planned to bring her under his control. Her presence would definitely be beneficial to his future plans.

 

Needless to say, there was another reason: She had probably done sufficient research and subsequently made preparations for the Divine Treasury left behind by the Eternal Prime God. He did not wish to waste additional time and effort on the endeavour.

 

Rather than searching for the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Treasury himself, it was better if he allowed a convenient tool like Luo Xiangjun to handle the matter instead. Besides, he was certain she would be happy to do so.

 

“Of course, I am willing to cooperate.” Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and a joyful expression appeared on her face. She quickly nodded and agreed without hesitation.

 

In the first place, she dared not refuse.

 

Her instinct told her that there was most likely another reason for Gu Changge to approach her and ask for her cooperation. For example, he might be making her lead the way so that he could save up on the effort of searching for the Divine Treasury himself. Then, he would get rid of her once she had outlived her usefulness.

 

But… did she have any other choice in this situation?

 

Luo Xiangjun had always been smart and cunning. Therefore, she made sure to show a slightly joyful expression at the right time to make herself seem delighted by the situation.

 

“In that case, these are the three other Eternal Divine Artifacts. Keep them well, Lady Luo.”

 

Gu Changge smiled. Light flashed above his palms, and three balls of light emerged. The Eternal Divine Sword, the Eternal Divine Furnace, and the Eternal Divine Diagram were contained within these balls of light.

 

The sight of these treasures stunned her, and she inadvertently blurted out a question.

 

“What is going on, Young Master Gu?” Why did it seem as though he was planning to hand the three Eternal Divine Artifacts over to her?

 

“The matter of finding the Eternal Ruins will be left to you, Lady Luo. I will not interfere. Just remember to share half of what’s inside with me when you find the Divine Treasury.” His expression remained relaxed and carefree as usual.

 

She stared at him intently for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes. A thousand thoughts flashed through her mind at that moment. After all, she certainly had not expected Gu Changge to trust her so much that he would hand over the three Eternal Divine Artifacts in his possession to her.

 

“Do you really trust me that much, Young Master Gu? Aren’t you worried that I might choose to keep everything for myself once I discover the Divine Eternal Clan’s Divine Treasury? Or, that I might disappear with the five Eternal Divine Artifacts?” She asked.

 

Upon hearing the question, he suddenly burst into laughter as though he had heard a hilarious joke. He looked at her with a strange look in his eye and grinned. “I trust you because of the Nine-Coloured Jade Void Immortal Stone, Lady Luo. Of course, I am not worried about the fact that you might choose to keep everything for yourself either.”

 

Her expression darkened. She was not stupid. She instantly understood the meaning behind his words. His answer came from an abundance in confidence over his own strength. He was not worried about whether she had the ability or courage to act opposite to his will.

 

“Don’t worry, Young Master Gu. I will swear a Dao Oath on my Dao Heart that I will never go back on our agreement today.” Thus, she verbally made a Dao Oath on her Dao Heart in response.

 

“In that case, I hope to hear good news from you soon.” He replied with a small smile. After saying that, he left behind the three Eternal Divine Artifacts and vanished from the spot.

 

Watching Gu Changge’s aura disappear into the distance, Luo Xiangjun finally heaved a sigh of relief. The unprecedented sense of oppression from earlier had left her gasping for breath.

 

She simply could not figure out Gu Changge’s background and origins. Similarly, she was clueless about why he appeared here or why he established the so-called Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

The tenets and doctrines of the Heavenslayers Alliance were very similar to the horrifying and spine-chilling Force that she had read about in ancient books.

 

“Could he be related to the remnants of the Black Disaster? Heavenslayers? Heaven’s Proxy? What’s the connection between them? Could it be… Have they made a comeback!?” Her expression turned solemn. The more she thought about these matters, the more frightened she became. It had already reached a point where she no longer dared to probe deeper.

 

As things stood, the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance had only spread within a small range of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. The news had not spread to the outside world, so the other True Worlds did not know about the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

However, such matters would inevitably cause great panic and terror once the news spread throughout the Boundless Expanse.
