At the instant he entered the cave, Yi Yun felt as though everything around him had disappeared. All the intense sounds of battle and the turbulent Yuan Qi turbulence had vanished. The distance of a cave made Yi Yun feel as though he had arrived in a completely isolated world.
This was the restricted zone recorded in the Azure Wood Manor's canon.
Yi Yun exhaled lightly. He did not have much time left. He needed to awaken the divine tree as soon as possible. His master, Felicitous Rain Lord, was still battling the bronze giant outside.
However, Yi Yun was not completely confident that he could awaken the divine tree. Although he had activated the portrait left behind by the divine tree female, the divine tree that had existed for hundreds of millions of years clearly contained energy that was thousands of times stronger than the portrait.
Inside the tree hole was a pocket world that had been opened up. On a grassy plain, there was a tiny stream flowing through it. Beside the stream, there was a tiny stone hut. In front of the stone hut was a stone table that was scattered with fallen leaves.
This world had existed for an extremely long period of time, but this scene seemed to be frozen in time.
Having practiced martial arts for so many years, Yi Yun had seen quite a number of pocket worlds in cave abodes. For example, the God Advent Tower and the Pure Yang Sword Palace had established pocket worlds. However, none of them were like the one in front of him. It gave Yi Yun an extremely special feeling.
It was as though he was standing in the pocket world, and he could feel his body and mind at peace. It was as though his perception could extend infinitely through the pocket world to the Azure Wood Great World, and through the Azure Wood Great World, he could spread it throughout the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
"Oh, there's a skeleton!"
Yi Yun suddenly saw a white skeleton beside a tiny mound of soil beside the stream in front of the stone hut.
It was unknown how long the owner of the skeleton had been dead, but the skeleton was crystalline like jade. It was like a treasured artifact that had been meticulously polished by a master refiner. There was even a nomological aura lingering on the skeleton. It made Yi Yun deeply sense that the owner of the skeleton was extraordinary in life.
It was definitely a peerless expert of a generation.
Who could it be?
Yi Yun did not believe that the skeleton was left behind by the black-dressed female. Her level was too high, and although the owner of the skeleton was extraordinary in life, it was clearly far inferior to the black-dressed female.
And at that moment, Yue Yingsha seemed to sense something. She walked in front of the white skeleton and bowed deeply.
"Yi Yun, I sense a familiar aura from this set of white bones. I have previously sensed this aura in many of the Azure Wood Manor's manuals and heritage. Perhaps this deceased senior is the person who left behind those manuals. She is also the Saintess who awakened the divine tree a hundred million years ago."
"The Saintess has actually come to this secret plane …"
Yue Yingsha muttered to herself in astonishment.
"Hmm? Is it strange? " Yi Yun asked perplexed. Since the records regarding the restricted zone were left behind by the Saintess, it was very normal for her to come here.
Yue Yingsha shook her head and said, "You might not know this, but when the Saintess was born, the Door to the 33 Skies had already closed. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to come here. She shouldn't even be able to enter the Door to the 33 Skies."
"Oh? Is that so … "Yi Yun frowned slightly." Perhaps … entering this restricted zone does not necessarily require passing through the Door to the 33 Skies. The Saintess you mentioned, after gaining the ability to communicate with the divine tree, she can probably use other passageways to enter this restricted zone … "
"Yea." Yue Yingsha nodded. After she paid her respects to the Saintess' remains, she got up and looked at her surroundings. "How is one to awaken the divine tree in this pocket world?"
There wasn't much time left. They could not afford to waste any more time. The Saintess had once awakened the divine tree, but she had already passed away. It was impossible for her to come back to life and tell them.
Yi Yun slowly walked through the pocket world as he sensed the aura in the area.
The pocket world was very tranquil. As he walked, Yi Yun's anxious emotions unknowingly calmed down.
Gradually, Yue Yingsha, the Saintess' remains, and everything else outside seemed to fade into the distance. All that was left was Yi Yun and the pocket world.
Yi Yun walked slowly until he came in front of the stone house.
The stone house had been empty for countless years.
And after a long period of time, Yi Yun arrived in front of the door.
The door was gently closed, giving off the feeling that there was someone living inside.
Yi Yun extended his hand and just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly felt the Purple Crystal's throbbing in his heart!
As though it was being led by the Purple Crystal, the entire stone house immediately emanated a strange aura.
"It's a Purple Crystal Chaos Gem …" Yi Yun's heart palpitated.
Back in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven's Luo Divine Hall, Yi Yun had seen Purple Crystal Chaos Gems in the Primordial Space!
The twelve ancient Fey Gods — Extreme Yang Illumination, Extreme Yin Nether Glow, Empress Earth Dao Tree, Dragon Emperor, Seven-colored Phoenix … People only knew of nine of them, but they did not know that the Purple Crystal was one of the twelve Fey Gods. And the Purple Crystal Chaos Gem was a divine stone that was born from Chaos at the beginning of the Universe's formation. It was engraved with the Purple Crystal laws!
Back then, no one in the Luo clan was able to gain insights into the Purple Crystal Chaos Gem. Yi Yun had managed to gain insights into the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence by chance. He never expected that there would be a stone house constructed from Purple Crystal Chaos Gems in the Azure Wood Great World!
Chaos Gems were extremely hard, yet they were used to carve a stone house. What sort of extravagance was that!?
Yi Yun originally believed that the stone house was constructed by the Azure Wood Manor's Saintess, but now, he was certain that the stone house was left behind by the mysterious woman. Other than her, no one else had such extraordinary means! The stone house had existed for hundreds of millions of years, and it was even possible that the black-dressed woman lived in this pocket world!
Instantly, Yi Yun's consciousness entered the stone house.
"What a vast space …"
Yi Yun's perception seemed to slowly fuse with the land through the stone house as the divine tree's roots extended outwards.
Yi Yun saw the battle outside and then, he saw the River Styx that was constantly surging towards the bronze giant. He saw a few warriors in the Door to the 33 Skies dying as they fled in despair.
All of this fell into Yi Yun's eyes. He remained unperturbed, just like the divine tree.
The divine tree's roots covered the entire Azure Wood Great World.
Yi Yun's consciousness passed through the abandoned ruins, passing through the mountains and the vast lands.
Suddenly, he heard a sound.
It sounded like a heartbeat, but also like the sound of a flowing river.
What was that sound? With a thought, Yi Yun's consciousness immediately sank down rapidly into the ground, all the way to the center of the land.
Boom!
In the pitch-black underground, a faint blob of light appeared.
Enveloped by the light was a gigantic root system, and in the middle of the root system was a stone that looked like a heart.
The stone was already covered in cracks. It was like an old man who was gasping for breath with great difficulty.
Yi Yun looked at it in silence. In his unperturbed consciousness, the stone's appearance made him feel a deathly aura and a heavy sense of sorrow.
Ka-cha.
In front of Yi Yun's eyes, the stone gently cracked open a crack.
Although it was only a tiny crack, Yi Yun, whose consciousness had spread through the land with the divine tree's roots, immediately saw miasma spewing out from every part of the land. Mountains collapsed and rivers dried up.
The gigantic stone was shattering, and the Azure Wood Great World seemed to die along with it.
So this was the Realm Stone that supported the weight of the Azure Wood Great World …
Some small worlds were created by mighty figures, and a piece of divine rock would support their weight. That was a Realm Stone.
However, Yi Yun had never heard of a massive world like the Azure Wood Great World that could use a Realm Stone to support its weight. There was no divine rock that could do so.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that the black-dressed woman had planted the divine tree in the Realm Stone. With the divine tree's roots, she had fixed the Realm Stone in place, preventing it from shattering. What sort of divine power was that!?
With a thought, Yi Yun seemed to transform into the gigantic root system that enveloped the Realm Stone. The Realm Stone that was riddled with holes was right in front of him.
A mortal's life did not last more than a hundred years. Everything they experienced would turn to dust at the moment of death. As for warriors who sought the Heavenly Dao, their lifespans would constantly be extended, but it was still not eternal.
Even a world could die, but the Heavenly Dao could not be destroyed.
Yi Yun could not help but stretch out his hand. He could sense the Realm Stone, and the sorrow of the world.
Silently, Yi Yun's body seemed to emit a dazzling light.
It was a rainbow-colored light that enveloped the Realm Stone.
And at the instant the rainbow-colored light appeared, Yi Yun was stunned.
He saw a familiar figure slowly walk out of the rainbow-colored light …
"Yi Yun?"
In the divine tree's hollow pocket world, Yue Yingsha saw Yi Yun suddenly stop in front of the stone house while walking. He extended his hand in an attempt to open the door, but when he touched the door, he paused and stood there silently.
Just as she was about to ask Yi Yun if he had discovered anything, Yue Yingsha suddenly sensed an extremely vast and ancient aura emanating from Yi Yun's body.
This aura seemed to fuse with the divine tree. It was as though Yi Yun was an embodiment of the divine tree.
"Ah!"
A figure suddenly fell out and slammed into the ground, burying her face into the soil.
Yue Yingsha was alarmed as she subconsciously touched her interspatial ring. But when she focused her eyes, she realized that the person who had fallen out was Chu He.
"Sis, why am I …" Chu He was somewhat in a daze. She rubbed her head and crawled up. She thought that she had been attacked when she was suddenly thrown out.
"Oh? Where is this? "Chu He turned her head and looked around, completely confused.
"Chu He, this is the restricted zone recorded in the sect's canon." The astonishment on Yue Yingsha's face slowly vanished as she looked at Yi Yun. Her eyes revealed an indescribable look of fascination as she said faintly, "Yi Yun seems to have fused with the divine tree, but you can't. Therefore, you were thrown out by the divine tree's aura …"
"Divine tree? Fused? " Chu He widened her beautiful eyes as she looked at Yi Yun in disbelief. This was the location of the restricted zone recorded in the sect's canon. Could it be that Yi Yun was awakening the divine tree?
