"Boom!" After Yunhua entered, the door, which had been half-open, slammed shut.
He continued forward and reached the end of the corridor. Soon he saw a vast space, covering more than ten miles, shrouded in a hazy halo.
"Finally, we've found a treasure space that hasn't collapsed!" Yun Hua's face lit up with joy. He quickly stepped through the hazy light and entered the treasure space.
Upon entering, the first thing that comes into view is a semi-transparent stone coffin. Through the coffin, one can vaguely see a strange corpse, and above the coffin is a sphere of light.
Clearly, the treasure lies within the sphere of light.
The ten thousand treasures within the Myriad Mountains are all different. Some are divine weapons of the Dao, some are eternal divine weapons, some may be forbidden techniques and supernatural powers, or some special inheritances.
This place encompasses everything; anything is possible.
"According to the rules, the trials of the World Realm are much more difficult than those of Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals. I wonder what kind of trials I will face when I go in." Yun Hua walked in with a hint of curiosity and anticipation.
"Ten layers of restrictions!?" After entering, Yun Hua immediately saw the light sphere protected by layers of light screens. There were ten layers of light screens in total, and purple divine patterns flowed on each layer, faintly emitting the aura of thunder.
“There’s one more layer of restriction than the Ancestral God and Ancestral Immortal. This extra layer of restriction should require the strength of a Dao Lord to break through, or perhaps some special enlightenment!” Yun Hua thought to himself as he looked at the ten restrictions.
In the original story, Ji Ning was under nine layers of restrictions when he was adventuring. The ninth layer of restrictions represented the enlightenment of a perfect world god, and the tenth layer of restrictions must be even stronger, surpassing the perfection of a world god. Wouldn't that only be the Dao Lord?
"Only by passing through ten layers of restrictions can you obtain the treasure!" A voice rang in Yun Hua's ears.
Chapter 1063 Nine-Fire Divine Furnace
"If it were a restriction of the Path of Thunder, I might still have a chance, but with my understanding of the Path of Thunder, it's simply impossible to break through this restriction of the Path of Thunder."
Yun Hua sighed inwardly, but he still wanted to test his understanding of the Dao of Thunder to see how many layers of restrictions he could break through.
Yunhua reached out and pressed his hand on the light screen of the first layer of restriction. As he poured in his chaotic immortal power, he gradually understood the mystery of this layer of restriction. He pressed down slightly, and the restriction shattered instantly, leaving only the nine layers behind.
Yunhua continued to break through the restrictions. The second layer of restrictions was significantly more difficult, but it was no longer a challenge for Yunhua.
He broke through all the barriers until he finally stopped at the ninth layer of restrictions.
"The first eight layers of restrictions are already my current limit. The ninth layer of restrictions can only be broken by cultivators who have cultivated the Path of Thunder to the World Realm." Yun Hua shook his head.
With Yunhua's surrender, the previously broken restrictions quickly reappeared.
"If the ordinary methods don't work, then we'll have to break through with brute force!" Yunhua, too lazy to waste time exploring, directly activated his divine power—
"Boom!"
A blinding flash of fire erupted as Yun Hua threw a punch, slamming it heavily onto the ten layers of restrictions. With a series of cracking sounds, the first nine layers of restrictions shattered instantly amidst the blinding flames, and then a fist slammed down on the tenth layer of restrictions.
The tenth layer of restrictions rippled like water, steadily withstanding Yunhua's attack.
However—"Boom!"
A dazzling light flashed once more, and Yunhua's fist could unleash a second burst of power; on the basis of the first burst, it exploded again, and the power of this explosion was simply earth-shattering.
With a crisp "crack!", the ten layers of restrictions that were strong enough to block a Dao Lord shattered under Yun Hua's second burst of punch.
At this moment, all that remained before Yunhua was the sphere of light containing the treasure.
This is the last treasure contained in this treasure trove.
"I've got the first treasure of Wan Chong Mountain!" Yun Hua reached out, but the ball of light was empty.
However, this was already within his expectations; the so-called treasures were actually all under the control of the array spirit of Wan Chong Mountain. After breaking through the restriction, what kind of treasures could be obtained was entirely under the control of the array spirit.
"Buzz!" Soon, a beam of light appeared, eventually condensing into an old man in white robes.
The old man in white robes looked at Yunhua and smiled, "Can you tell me your name?"
"The Blazing Fire!" Yunhua announced the name as always.
"I am the spirit of Wanzhong Mountain, named 'Wanshan'. Judging from your expression, you don't seem surprised by my appearance?" the white-robed elder said with a smile.
"It's not common for a great formation to develop sentience, but with the strength of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord, it's not surprising that he could create a great formation with sentience." As Yun Hua spoke, he subtly elevated the status of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord.
Sure enough, the white-bearded old man showed a proud look: "Master's array formation realm is so high that it is unparalleled. In the endless chaos, apart from a few eternal emperors, there are few who can match Master. You must have felt Master's greatness through the previous breaking of the barrier."
Yunhua nodded slightly, too lazy to argue.
The white-robed elder looked at Yun Hua and continued, "The entire Ten Thousand Mountains and its ten thousand treasures are actually empty. As long as you pass the test, what you get in the end is entirely up to me."
"The test you passed was originally intended to be a secret technique of the Thunder Path." As he spoke, he took out a jade slip. "However, anyone who breaks the law with force and can reach the perfect power of a World God below the Ancestral God, or the power of a First-Step Dao Lord in the World Realm, is qualified to receive the treasure."
"Of course, such an opportunity only comes once. Only by breaking the spell with force the first time and forming a good karmic connection can we obtain the treasure. If you encounter the treasure again after that, you can only obtain it through normal means."
"Good karma? Is there something I need to do?" Although Yunhua knew the information, she couldn't explain its source, so she asked.
A fierce glint appeared in the spirit's eyes as it said, "My master has an enemy, the Eternal Emperor whom he has been hunting for countless years—Emperor Meloppo."
"Once you have the ability in the future, you can kill this person. Of course, this is just a verbal agreement, and you don't need to swear an oath."
Yunhua nodded, indicating that she understood.
If a vow is made, it is no longer considered a good karmic connection, but rather an exchange of benefits, and may even carry a hint of coercion; only such non-coercive verbal agreements can be considered good karmic connections.
The spirit then said, "Is there anything you want? You can choose any one of the treasures I have here, but only one."
"I need a supernatural technique related to the Way of Fire, or an eternal divine weapon, preferably an eternal divine weapon." Yunhua looked at the array spirit.
Supernatural powers and secret techniques are easy to explain, but Yunhua requires profound knowledge and experience.
The Eternal Divine Weapon is even better, because its origin also contains some of the cultivation insights of that Eternal Emperor.
This kind of insight may not be as direct as supernatural powers or secret techniques, but if you carefully study it, the gains will be no less than those from supernatural powers or secret techniques.
"The Way of Fire... the Way of Fire is what Master is most skilled in. You're quite good, to have cultivated the Way of Fire to such a level." The array spirit nodded. "Master did indeed leave behind an eternal divine weapon here."
As he spoke, the man took out a crimson furnace with nine sun-like patterns on it.
"This is the cauldron that the master once used to refine weapons—the Nine-Fire Divine Furnace. It was carefully crafted by the master's good friend, Emperor Kunyun, and later given to the master for his use."
The spirit continued, "This Nine-Fire Divine Furnace was crafted by Emperor Kunyun using the nine most terrifying Dao Fires from the endless chaos, along with various extremely precious materials."
"The most precious and powerful aspect of this Nine-Fire Divine Furnace is that it perfectly melts and unifies these nine extremely precious Dao Fires into one. Even ordinary Eternal Emperors would not dare to withstand this unified divine fire."
"Of course, this Nine Fire Divine Furnace would not be able to unleash such wondrous power in your hands."
"Now, it's yours!" The spirit of the formation handed the divine furnace to Yunhua, and at the same time, he casually tossed a jade slip to Yunhua as well. "The original treasures here are also yours."
"Alright, here's the stuff. I hope you can reach a sufficient level of strength, at least the Great Mo Daojun level." The array spirit waved its hand. "This treasure space is about to collapse, so you should leave quickly."
After saying that, the array spirit quickly disappeared. After Yunhua came out, the entire treasure space collapsed with a rumbling sound, and then the treasure gate also disappeared.
"I never expected to obtain the Eternal Divine Weapon that the Myriad Gods Dao Lord used back then." After leaving the mountain, Yunhua quickly entered his immortal abode.
He quickly produced his spoils.
First, there was the secret technique of the Thunder Path. Yunhua pondered it for a moment and quickly grasped its essence.
This secret technique isn't very useful to Yunhua; the secret techniques he created himself are far more powerful than this thunderous technique.
Chapter 1064 Sea of Fog
"The most crucial thing is this Nine-Fire Divine Furnace!" Yun Hua's divine sense quickly penetrated into this eternal divine weapon, and a scorching, burning sensation immediately surged into his heart.
Yun Hua was somewhat incredulous. Having cultivated the Dao of Fire to his current level, even ordinary Dao Fire could no longer harm him. However, facing the flames in the Nine Fire Divine Furnace, he felt as if he were being ignited. The power of this eternal divine weapon was truly unbelievable.
"As expected of an Eternal Divine Weapon personally crafted by the Eternal Emperor's friend for the Myriad Gods Dao Lord." Yun Hua sighed inwardly. This kind of Eternal Divine Weapon was naturally incomparable to ordinary Eternal Divine Weapons.
"However, this path of flame fusion is somewhat similar to the path I have taken. In some aspects, it is even more profound than my understanding, but in terms of overall artistic conception, it is far inferior to my path." Yun Hua sat cross-legged in front of the Nine Fire Divine Furnace, refining it with his divine sense while comprehending the artistic conception of the flame within the furnace's origin.
The more Yunhua pondered, the clearer her understanding of the future became.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are two ways to reach the ultimate path of eternal fire. One is the method I used before, which is to control different flames to successfully achieve the path of eternal fire." Yunhua gradually realized this.
If one could control all the flames in the world, that would naturally be the eternal and ultimate path of fire; but there are countless kinds of flames, and when they merge with all paths, they become countless different flames, and when different flames merge, they become entirely new flames. This path is destined to be an endless one.
The second path is to control the flames using specific methods.
This can be divided into several branches, such as the way of controlling fire, the way of melting fire, and many other aspects.
For example, once the art of fire fusion reaches its peak, any flame in the world can be fused together, without needing a specific flame, and one can even create flames that have never been seen before at any time.
As for the art of fire control, it is the absolute control over flames. Even flames that one has never touched before can be completely controlled in an instant, and the form and nature of the flames can be changed. For example, the flames can be made as gentle as flowing water, or as pervasive as a gentle breeze...
Yunhua didn't rely solely on the first path to break through; he later incorporated the second path as well.
Having completed the Nine Fire Divine Furnace in seclusion and vaguely discerned the path forward, Yunhua quickly emerged from the Immortal Abode and continued his journey.
Thousands of mountains, one peak after another, rising and falling.
Yunhua explored the area alone, and during his exploration, he discovered three treasure troves.
However, since he couldn't break the laws with force, he only managed to break the restrictions of the Pure Yang Path and the Path of Destruction trials, obtaining two inheritances that directly pointed to the World Realm. He was powerless against the restrictions of the Water Path.
When Yunhua crossed the last mountain, the fog ahead was thick and visibility was extremely low. Even with Yunhua's eyesight, he could only see about a thousand miles in this foggy area.
It is well known that birds have the best eyesight, especially a phoenix like Yunhua. Even he can only see a thousand miles away, while the other world gods probably only have a hundred miles of vision.
The distance of a hundred miles is negligible compared to the level of an Ancestral God, let alone a cultivator at the World Realm.
This is the sea of fog in the central area of the Pantheon.
"The Mist Sea of the Pantheon is clearly several levels higher than the treasures found in the Myriad Mountains," Yunhua recalled some information he had obtained from Yibo City.
The treasures within the Myriad Mountains are extremely important to cultivators below the World Realm; even a small treasure obtained there can become their trump card. However, for cultivators at the World Realm, apart from a few exceptionally powerful treasures, the others are rather lacking.
Of the four treasures Yunhua obtained in Wanchong Mountain, only the Nine-Fire Divine Furnace is of great use to cultivators at the World Realm. The other supernatural abilities and secret techniques are far less useful and can only be used to broaden one's knowledge.
However, the treasures within the Ten Thousand Mountains are extraordinary; they can be of great use to cultivators at the World Realm.
It can even enable cultivators at the World Realm to accumulate a sufficiently powerful foundation to cope with the future Life and Death Dao Lord Realm.
The most famous feature of this fog sea is that it is difficult to determine direction. Even a world god would lose his bearings after circling around in this fog sea a few times.
Even the Pantheon, which had always been like a lighthouse, was blurred and difficult to see in the sea of fog.
Of course, none of this is fatal. Generally speaking, cultivators at the World Realm level will naturally emerge from the Sea of Mist after wandering around aimlessly for a while.
However, leaving the foggy sea also means losing sight of the treasure. To truly obtain the most crucial treasure, one must possess the courage to "knowingly venture into the tiger's den."
"The reason why it's so hard to tell which way to go in the Sea of Fog is because it's too dangerous. Countless cultivators at the World Realm are avoiding the danger, so they're just wandering around like headless flies. But if you go straight and sweep everything in your path, then the so-called difficulty in telling which way to go is a joke!" Yun Hua resolutely entered the Sea of Fog.
He traveled alone in a straight line through the sea of fog, covering tens of thousands of miles, until he finally saw a lake as tranquil as a mirror. The lake was emerald green, so still and undisturbed as if it were jade.
Most world gods would avoid such a lake at first glance, but Yunhua remained unfazed, walking directly on the water and continuing to move forward in a straight line.
After traveling tens of thousands of miles across the lake—"Huh!?"
Suddenly, Yunhua's expression changed slightly, and flames exploded all over his body. Like a phantom, he flew into the air in an instant. This burst was very fast. Yunhua appeared in the distance before the flames on his body exploded.
This sudden burst of speed brought him to almost twice the limit of the Heavenly Dao.
The instant his flames appeared, a hideous maw emerged from beneath the lake and snapped down at the spot where Yunhua had been standing.
Yun Hua's gaze swept across the scene, and what appeared in the water was a monster entirely emerald green, almost perfectly blending into the emerald green lake. It had a huge mouth like a shark, but also three sharp horns on its head.
"You're courting death!" Yun Hua shouted softly, and his entire body plummeted instantly. The speed of his descent was no slower than the speed at which he had burst forth earlier.
He slammed his foot down on the monster's head with the force of an axe.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Yunhua's kick unleashed an incredibly powerful force the instant it touched the monster, much like a volcanic eruption. The astonishing power, accompanied by divine fire energy, was instantly poured into the monster's body.
"Ow!"
The monster only let out a terrifying roar, and then floated on the water, its body charred black. Its body had been completely scorched by Yunhua's attack, and its body and soul had been baptized by flames, causing its soul to be scattered.
"This monster is probably only at the peak of the World God realm!" Yunhua thought to himself.
Just then, a ball of light suddenly appeared inside the charred monster. Yun Hua immediately put the ball of light into his palm.
"Click!" The ball of light dissipated, and soon a scroll appeared in Yunhua's hand.
“This painting…” Yun Hua stared at the painting, his eyes gleaming.
Chapter 1065 The Palace of Ten Thousand Gods
This is a picture of hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea. Every river and mountain contains a special artistic conception. This is a profound understanding of the Great Dao that far surpasses the world realm. It is at least the Dao left behind by a Dao Lord, belonging to his Dao.
After a long while, Yunhua's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head: "Unfortunately, it's the Way of Water, completely opposite to my Way."
"However, if every dangerous place has such a treasure, I will eventually encounter something that will greatly benefit me." He casually put away the scroll and continued on his way.
In the sea of mist, besides the monsters that roam everywhere, there are also a large number of insect beasts, all of which were cultivated by the Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Gods in his lifetime.
