Watching Qi Xiu, who was slightly furrowing his brows and contemplating the Dharma Gate, Old Gao's eyes were filled with relief and relaxation.

He saw the demeanor of a future Hunyuan.

He no longer had any worries.

The regrets in his heart vanished, and Old Gao's eyes erupted with Divine Light.

Next, he devoted all his energy to crafting this Exotic Treasure.

He was no longer able to endure the next Primordial Spirit Tribulation, and the moment of its arrival was imminent.

Thus, even if it meant sacrificing his old life, he mustfully complete the Exotic Treasure that his nephew couldn't.

With a great wish born in his heart, Old Gao was free of attachments, and the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace, which he transformed into, suddenly blazed with Divine Fire.

The next moment!

Only to see the fire in the furnace suddenly erupt, and from the void, floods of Earth Water Wind Fire surge forth.

The furnace itself seemed to desire to reenact the creation of Heaven and Earth, the transformation of all things!

...

Crack-boom—

The swift and domineering terrifying Heavenly Thunder struck down like a sword from the heavens, hitting heavily on Daoist Qingya's horsetail whisk.

Bang!

Divine light splashed out, igniting thousands of silver threads.

This fire possessed a Spirit Essence; it did not scatter messily but instead transformed into pairs of solemn, indifferent eyes, quietly observing Daoist Qingya before them.

"Look, what's there to see."

Looking at the horsetail whisk in his hand, now blasted into a feather duster, Daoist Qingya's mouth twitched. With a wave of his wide sleeve, the oily, tattered robe suddenly transformed into a Chaos Hole, swallowing all the flames within, which disappeared without a trace thereafter.

Hearing the earth-shattering thunderous roar just now,

A clear stream of water suddenly flowed in, transforming into the appearance of Elder Shui.

Seeing Daoist Qingya speechlessly staring at the Taiji feather duster in his hand and sighing softly, Elder Shui hesitated:

"What play is this?"

"I underestimated that kid. Like me as a poor Daoist, he's never a peaceful master wherever he goes." Shaking his head with a light laugh, Daoist Qingya put away the Taiji horsetail whisk, which had turned into a feather duster.

Hearing Daoist Qingya's words, Elder Shui seemed to understand what had happened and subsequently laughed:

"What? Did my young lord do something earth-shattering again?"

Reaching into his sleeve and pinching the flames containing hidden Heavenly Will, Daoist Qingya lightly blew on his fingers:

"I don't know the specifics. After all, so much time has passed.

But judging from the Heavenly Dao backlash, it must have changed the original historical trajectory significantly.

With that child's current cultivation and temperament, I don't think he'd do anything outrageous.

Moreover, that was during the Sheng Tang period.

The world's structure was as solid as an iron barrel.

Neither you nor I could stir up any big waves.

Thus, to provoke such a level of Heavenly Dao backlash,

there can only be one reason..."

Upon hearing Daoist Qingya's conjecture, Elder Shui also squinted his eyes, gently furrowing his brows and said:

"Killed an important figure?"

"Yes, but perhaps not directly by his hand—it was likely due to him that this person perished prematurely, changing the historical trajectory and consecutively triggering the Heavenly Dao backlash.

The Heavenly Dao backlash was so severe that it broke my Taiji horsetail whisk. How can I return it now?"

Showing a trace of concern, Daoist Qingya slowly shook his head, his tone full of helplessness.

As if you intended to return it in the first place.

Shooting Daoist Qingya a strange glance, Elder Shui looked up at the sky, where the dense black clouds had yet to disperse.

"Should we intervene? This level of Heavenly Dao backlash, he can't withstand it."

"No need, past actions are the cause, today is the effect.

I've taken on all the karma.

This matter won't punish him directly.

I'm just curious now.

What on earth did he do over there?"

Gathering his wide sleeves, Daoist Qingya's eyes shone with brilliance, for the first time in years he was unable to see through something.

...

In the Hunyuan Palace, at this moment, myriad divine lights transformed into a surging colorful cloud, encircling around the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace.

A vast and boundless aura rolled up into massive, vigorous waves.

Stirring the whole Hunyuan Palace, turning it upside down, reversing top from bottom.

With the Haotian Mirror above his head, Qi Xiu's eyes still transformed into a purple ocean, unwilling to miss this rare scene.

At this moment, in the Eight Trigrams Treasure Road, the seemingly ordinary piece of clay, like one picked effortlessly from the roadside, was already covered with cracks.

Majestic and pure hues were continuously oozing from these fissures, turning into ribbons of light and flame.

"Young one, lend me a drop of your essence blood."

Seeing the cracks on the stone grow more and more numerous, and the contents within about to emerge, Old Gao's voice suddenly sounded in Qi Xiu's ear.

Without hesitation, Qi Xiu flicked his finger, and a drop of perfectly round, bead-like crimson blood suddenly emerged, flying towards the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace.

Hiss——

Upon entering the treasure furnace, the drop of essence blood instantly vaporized, and the rising mist faintly condensed into a Hunyuan Seal, slowly descending onto the stone.

The Dharma Seal covered the stone in an instant!

Only a cracking sound was heard.

The stone shattered explosively, fragments darted around wildly impacting the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace, creating continuous dull thuds, even causing bulges on this Acquired Divine Instrument.

"Hiss, quite powerful!"

Being struck painfully, Old Gao drew several cold breaths, his face showing grimaces.

The stone peeling off, revealing the Exotic Treasure inside.

Within the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace, intensely condensed golden light was colliding left and right within the furnace, as if trying to break free from this cage and escape.

"Young one, take it, although this treasure is refined, its spirit essence is vigorous, rebellious and hard to tame!

I've added a drop of your essence blood into it, marking it with your imprint.

But whether you can subdue it depends on you.

Here you go, take it!"

Old Gao roared loudly, and the opening of the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace was instantly opened; the dazzling golden light shot out from it fiercely, first flying and crashing around within the Hunyuan Palace like a headless fly. After realizing there was no exit, it immediately halted, aiming at Old Gao.

Feeling the intense malice, Old Gao, who had transformed into human form, frowned and raised his hand:

"Dare to come over and see if I won't whack you!"

As if sensing the terrifying aura like a deep ocean emanating from this Fourth Generation Chaos, the golden light immediately switched targets, looking towards Qi Xiu.

Whoosh——

A flick of a finger in an instant!

The golden light had already charged to Qi Xiu's face; its vigor was so immense even the Haotian Mirror's reflective light was forcibly dented.

Looking at the golden light inches away from him, Qi Xiu squinted slightly, purple surging in his eyes. With his Observing Qi Skill, he pierced through the blinding golden light, scrutinizing the shape of this Exotic Treasure.

Is this... a cover?

Noting the outline of the Exotic Treasure, Qi Xiu frowned slightly.

The shape and outline of this Exotic Treasure resembled a stable, solid circular copper cover, but it was open upwards, with the top end downwards, looking somewhat peculiar.

Before Qi Xiu could take another look at the appearance of this Exotic Treasure,

The golden light seemed to sense Qi Xiu's gaze probing it, and suddenly began to retreat, creating distance.

"Since you've come, don't leave."

The Exotic Treasure had been delivered right in front of him; how could Qi Xiu let it slip away? With a wave of his large hand, his voluminous robe suddenly expanded immensely, covering the sky and sun, as if to envelop the entire world within it.

It was the Divine Marvel Dharma Gate from the Yellow Official Document!

Universe in the Sleeve!

As an unparalleled method of capture, when practiced to the extreme, it could swallow heaven, earth, sun, and moon.

Although Qi Xiu hadn't practiced this technique to such a supreme level, capturing an Exotic Treasure was still within his grasp.

The speed of the Exotic Treasure's golden light was incredibly fast, but in this dimension of the Hunyuan Palace, as large as it may be, it could not escape the scope of Universe in the Sleeve.

Swish——

With a sweep of the vast sleeve, Qi Xiu's left sleeve billowed with large bulges, even strands of golden light penetrated from within, showing that the Exotic Treasure's golden light remained unyielding even inside the Universe in the Sleeve.

But once caught inside the Universe in the Sleeve, coming out again became exceedingly daunting.

Feeling the Exotic Treasure's struggle, Qi Xiu slowly raised a Daoist Incantation, and one by one External Incarnations emerged from behind him, then glided as flowing light, drilling into his robe's sleeve.

Soon after, the overbearing Suppressing Talisman's golden light started flashing wildly within Qi Xiu's sleeve robe.

Within no time.

The sleeve that was bustling incessantly just before, now fell completely silent.

...
