Chapter 899: Peering from Two Realms! Forcefully Snatching the Ultimate Treasure!

And at this very moment, the Sea of Ten Thousand Immortals.

One could see amidst the vast expanse of the Sea of Ten Thousand Immortals.

The originally tranquil sea suddenly turned to roaring gales and towering waves.

In the sky above, dark clouds gathered as a single mass; in the depths of the ocean, undercurrents surged violently.

Countless tiny fractures were faintly visible, and thunder clapped through the void, tearing terrifying scars across the sea.

Within the ocean, a massive vortex suddenly materialized.

That vortex grew larger and larger, and the sky-reaching waves it whipped up spread wider and wider.

The immense disturbance also alerted Perfected Lord Tianbi Xiao, the overseer of the Sea of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Sitting across from her was an eccentric Daoist dressed in a black-and-white Daoist robe, his hair tied into twin tufts at his temples.

Between the two stood a small clay stove, upon which a pot of immortal tea brewed inside a premium stardust clay pot.

Suddenly, the gaze of the woman in blue turned as cold and indifferent as primeval ice.

Her eyes looked toward the far distance.

……

And at this moment, the vast sea gradually returned to tranquility, as if all that had transpired before had never happened at all.

Yet……

Plop!

Splash——!

Amidst a flurry of churning seawater, a few heads emerged from the clear, azure surface of the ocean.

A blind man with a cloth over his eyes said in awe, "Is this... the world of the powerful?!"

……

It was as though they had never beheld a world so vast, with spiritual energy so incredibly abundant.

"Stop dawdling, old ghost Zong! Hurry up and find a place to go ashore!" Among the group, some wore the attire of the East Continent, while others bore clothing styles reminiscent of the Continent of Immortal Ruins.

But without exception, their bodies were draped in incredibly bizarre protective treasures shaped like straw rain-capes, embedded with a few snow-white feathers.

An immensely divine aura radiated from them, a presence that seemed to originate from an ancient deity.

And it was precisely these few feathers that had protected them amidst the void-cleaving thunder, leaving them virtually unscathed.

"Go, go, go! Let us find a place to absorb spiritual energy first!"

"This is the power of immortal essence!"

And at this moment, Valkyrie Isabella, who was still reclining in the pool, thought: "When a few thousand years pass and I recover, the very first thing I will do is demand my wings back! They cannot be left in the mortal realm!"

"But for now... I will just let you humans borrow them for a few thousand years..." After all, she could not move right now!

……

Yet no one knew that at this very moment... in the Sea of Ten Thousand Immortals, the Gui lineage.

A secret report arrived from the lower realm.

Presently within the secret hall, a hovering clear mirror hung before them.

Revealed within the mirror was a blurred silhouette of light and shadow, but that faint outline seemed to resemble a supreme existence of utmost solemnity and majesty!

That figure uttered no words, yet it seemed to be waiting for the response of the crowd.

Not only Supreme Master Miaofa, but at this moment, the dense crowd of immortals filling the hall were all kneeling prostrate here.

No one could have imagined such a sight, nor could they even conceive what kind of existence possessed such capability, causing these aloof immortals who transcended the secular world to submit in this manner.

"How are things proceeding?" Complete silence reigned.

Only after a long pause did a voice suddenly sound.

"The Martial Restriction Order, monitoring the human realm, sealing off the heavenly path... after so many years, it shouldn't be that there isn't a single shred of news, right?" A cold light suddenly shot out from the mirror, speaking freezingsly.

"Please rest assured," at that moment, Supreme Master Miaofa replied with utmost reverence, "We are not like the Pantheon who bumbled their duties, allowing even their old nest in the human realm to be rooted out!"

He did not even dare to lift his head, his face bearing an expression of profound awe, as if even with his status, showing the slightest hint of disrespect would be fatal.

Next, his gaze shifted to a young man beside him who appeared to be around twenty or thirty years old: "Lifeng, you haven't been exposed, have you?"

The young man hurriedly replied, "The lower realm has many eyes and ears, so I picked a few inconspicuous targets to strike. They will absolutely never suspect us."

"According to my investigation, this shop may truly have a connection to the object you are searching for." The young man's head was lowered almost to the floor, meticulously weighing his words.

"May!?" The voice within the mirror suddenly turned frigid.

Everyone felt as though they had plunged into an ice cellar!

"No... it definitely has a connection!" The young man hastily corrected himself, "I went there to investigate secretly for a long time. I can be certain that the force behind them absolutely does not come from the demon gods of the Nine Netherworlds!"

He rapidly organized his thoughts in his mind and spoke, "I have searched the souls of those few people. They generally believe that one or several experts or even deities sit in residence at that shop. But according to my deduction, that is by no means the case!"

"I even suspect that there is no one sitting in residence there at all, and everything is just a smokescreen put up by that young man named Fang Qi!" He opened his mouth to say, "It is said that from the very beginning, he often closed his doors and stayed inside, and no one has ever witnessed that 'senior' sitting in residence taking action outside the shop under any circumstances."

"Furthermore, I observed that he always takes action at the absolute final moment. If there truly were an incomparably massive power behind him, or even the Nine Netherworlds, then anyone who dared to defy them would simply be annihilated directly. Why go through such trouble!" The young man analyzed, "The only explanation is that he isn't strong at all, and all those powers are borrowed, meaning they cannot sustained. Because of this, he won't strike until the final moment; otherwise, his secret would be exposed!"

"State your conclusion." The voice within the mirror seemed to soften slightly, yet carried a trace of impatience.

"Yes!" The young man said, "According to my deduction, that human holds an extremely powerful supreme treasure in his hands! And even if this supreme treasure is not the one you desire, it possesses a massive connection to it."

"As for why the timeline does not match up, I believe it must be that... the treasure possesses a spirit and was born ahead of its time!" He summarized, "Furthermore, its wondrous creation is breathtaking; I believe even you would be immensely interested in it! I dare guarantee that even if it is not the one you seek, it absolutely will not lose out to any rumored supreme holy object of creation!"

The moment he finished speaking, his entire body flew backward without any warning, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying violently from his lips.

"A mere minor immortal dares to speak the words 'supreme holy'?"

The light upon the mirror gradually faded away, leaving only a faint voice drifting over: "Since that is the case, go and seize that so-called 'supreme holy' object, lest a bright pearl be left to gather dust."

……

And at this time, located in the deepest depths of the Nine Netherworlds.

Inside a dark abyss situated at the lowest depths of the netherworld.

Countless ancient skeletons rested there.

Figures stood in rows; some wore ancient, long-forgotten immortal robes, while others... wore decayed and heavy armor.

They bowed their heads in worship, like remnants of an ancient clan.

And at the deepest point of the direction they were prostrating toward, the most ancient king of this dark world seemed to be lurking in hiding. At the bottom of the abyss, a gaze seemed to faintly, slowly open...

That powerful light seemed utterly impossible to conceal; how could a supreme holy object be left to fall into such a place.

Two realms trembled!

Glints of greed cast their eyes one after another toward the center of the two realms, toward the trembling human realm caught in the crevice!
