"This is..." Qi Xiu's expression was filled with surprise.

Because at this moment, Song Baiyi was holding a "Full Moon".

Indeed, it was a completely intact moon, exuding a rich Guanghan aura, continuously shedding strands of bright moonlight.

"Hehehe, this treasure was obtained from that Outer Domain Evil Cultivator. She has been suppressed into the Endless Hell, never to come out. This treasure is useless left with her and a real waste.

I practice both martial and Buddhist paths, so this [Big Star Moon] isn't a good fit for me.

Keeping it is no more than a memento.

Today, I will gift it to you."

The Primordial Spirit Treasure was offered just like that, and as Qi Xiu looked at the [Big Star Moon] handed over by Song Baiyi, he smiled and waved his hand:

"This treasure is too valuable. I can't take it without earning it."

"What do you mean you can't take it? Compared to the Phoenix Emperor Feather you gave me, this thing is no more than a glass bead."

Not giving Qi Xiu a chance to refuse, Song Baiyi transformed the magical treasure obtained from the Moon Sea True Venerable into a ray of moonlight, directly sending it into Qi Xiu's body.

"This treasure was that Outer Domain Evil Cultivator's Life-Bound Magic Treasure. To prevent you from having trouble controlling it in the future, I have erased her imprint along with its Spirit Essence.

Although this makes the treasure a bit dull, there won't be any hidden worries.

When you achieve your Primordial Spirit, if you find it inconvenient to use, you can dissolve it.

The craftsmanship isn't great, but the materials are top-notch.

I consulted the grandmasters at the palace, and they confirmed it is an entire Taiyin Star Core, exceptionally complete, and of superb quality.

But the person who refined it was of mediocre skill.

Without understanding the Path of the Taiyin, they could only refine such a crude thing."

Listening to Song Baiyi's derogatory remarks about the magical treasure, Qi Xiu knowingly smiled.

He understood that Song Baiyi was saying this to make it easier for him to accept the magical treasure.

Otherwise, how could a Primordial Spirit Treasure be as worthless as he described.

After some casual conversation with Song Baiyi and a formal farewell, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong packed their belongings, ready to embark on the journey back to future times.

To avoid attracting attention and causing complications,

Hu Tianzong brought Qi Xiu to a secret place he had discovered by chance during his travels.

It was a square-shaped valley, surrounded by towering trees, their crowns lush and almost entirely shrouding the valley. This location was where thirteen Earth Veins converged.

The area was filled with Yin and murky energies, and the Geomagnetic Elemental Force was chaotic.

Even the Divine Sense of a Dao Expert would be disturbed near here.

Moreover, the place was remote, more than two thousand miles from the nearest county town.

Nearby, there was only a small village of thirty households on a mountain,

which Hu Tianzong had relocated, with great effort, to another mountain with a better environment and more abundant resources.

"This place is indeed excellent."

Surveying the place Hu Tianzong had selected, Qi Xiu nodded slightly. The territory of the Great Tang was vast, but finding a discreet and hidden place was not easy given its strong national power.

Now that they had a place, there was only one problem to solve.

"Soon, I will send you into the True Dragon Law Realm. The River of Time has turbulent currents, and a small world may not completely isolate it, so I will thoroughly seal the True Dragon Law Realm to prevent any accidents.

If everything goes smoothly, we can return to the future Primordial Heaven.

But if not, we might end up buried in the River of Time together.

Well, do you dare to bet on it?"

To ensure the secrecy of his True Dragon Incarnation and True Body, Qi Xiu had no choice but to seal Hu Tianzong in the True Dragon Law Realm.

"Bet? Although I have never sought high-stakes gambles,

with you, Daoist, I am willing to risk my life with a hero!"

With a hearty laugh, Hu Tianzong looked pleased and showed no fear.

After all this time together, the trust between him and Qi Xiu was already beyond words.

It wasn't just about entering the True Dragon Law Realm.

Even if it was the dragon's lair or tiger's den before them, as long as Qi Xiu said it was safe, he dared to leap in.

What is there to fear?

"Good! Your word is enough."

Nodding, Qi Xiu, with a thought, expanded the True Dragon Law Realm, whisking Hu Tianzong into this small world like a gust of wind and thunder, and the entire realm was sealed, isolating the internal from the external and vice versa.

After sealing Hu Tianzong in the True Dragon Law Realm, Qi Xiu transformed into his True Body.

He raised a spell in front of his chest.

A roaring mist rose from the ground in the secluded, uninhabited valley, quickly spreading in all directions like an ocean manifesting out of nowhere.

The Great Five Elements Path—Cloud-Mystifying Mist!

The commotion from the Time Array is significant, and mere geographical concealment is far from sufficient, making it difficult not to be detected by some great Daoists.

This Cloud-Mystifying Mist was derived by Qi Xiu from the muddy fog of the Southern Ming Wasteland years ago. It not only blocks detection and vision but also confuses fate, hence: Cloud-Mystifying!

With this mist as a cover, unless a Primordial Spirit True Honor personally came here to investigate,

no matter how loud the disturbance, it wouldn't be detected.

Submerging an area of a thousand miles in this sea of Cloud-Mystifying Mist, Qi Xiu waved his large sleeves, and rows of Suppressing Talismans suppressed with golden light howled out, burrowing into the ground, rows of golden silken threads linking on the ground, gradually forming a vast array spanning a thousand miles.

[Suppressing Talisman] restraints the terrain, thus preventing the Great Array from moving the Earth Vein and shaking the wilderness.

Cloud-Mystifying!

Suppression Land!

Meticulously making all the arrangements, shadows beneath Qi Xiu's feet gave rise to External Incarnations, which turned into a colorful cloud at once, rushing to specific positions.
