591 Enlightenment of Heavenly Laws

Breaking through in the short term was unrealistic, but thanks to the enlightenment from thirty million small worlds, he gained new insights into the laws of heaven and earth.

The laws of heaven and earth were the principles that maintained the operation of the universe, such as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, rivers flowing from high to low, human birth, aging, sickness, and death, the earth below and the clouds above...

If one could try to control these laws, would it mean controlling the life and death of many people?

Soon, he entered a state of meditation, the world of heaven and earth, all-encompassing, flowing through his mind.

However, he always felt a pair of eyes staring at him, making his hair stand on end.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and there was nothing around.

Only a gust of cold wind blew past.

This interruption meant he had to start all over again!

This made him very annoyed.

At this moment, the four people above were not quiet at all, continuously unleashing their divine abilities and destroying the rocks below.

Suddenly, Bai Hu discovered something unusual: "Quick, come here! I think this is it. I've been bombarding this peak for a long time, and it hasn't budged at all. There must be a restriction."

The other three were immediately drawn over and attacked the peak together, unleashing streaks of divine abilities. Streams of light and sparks flew everywhere, but the peak remained unmoved.

Ye Xiaowei saw the four celestial gods bombing a mountain peak from afar. Although she found it inexplicable, she believed Mo Qi was not there, so she quietly bypassed them and continued searching for Mo Qi.

After bombing for a while and seeing that the peak was completely unaffected, the four celestial gods simultaneously believed that what they were looking for was here.

Zhu Que said, "It must be correct. Xing Shen told me that after Lu Xu and Zhu Yan fought each other to the point of mutual destruction, Lu Xu used his residual soul to transform into a barrier, trapping Zhu Yan's residual soul and preventing her from ever escaping. This place is so hard, it must be the barrier."

"Why do we have to guard this barrier if it's so strong? It's completely meaningless," Xuan Wu said.

"Zhu Yan is probably already annihilated. The upper realm is worried that if she somehow survived and was released by someone else, it would be a disaster for the entire Tree World and even the entire Milky Way World," Zhu Que said.

Bai Hu disdainfully remarked, "How much of her residual soul is left? Even if she were released, what could she do?"

Zhu Que replied, "We are not afraid, but the people in the upper realm are afraid, the people in He Tian Palace are afraid."

Qing Long angrily exclaimed, "Because they are afraid, our freedom is sacrificed, and we are forced to guard here for eternity. This is too much of an insult. Why don't they come and guard it themselves?"

At this moment, Zhu Que glanced at Qing Long's injuries and suddenly shrieked, "Oh my, your body is only half left! Your wound is still bleeding, you're almost dead!"

The others also turned their terrified gazes towards him. Qing Long, who hadn't taken it seriously before, was startled, "What are you talking about? Nonsense, I won't die, I won't die."

Xuan Wu also said, "You are probably going to die."

"I won't die, I won't die. Whoever says I'm dying is going to fight me."

Bai Hu looked at him with a bit of pity, "Alas, brother, how did you end up like this, injured by some nameless nobody? You were too careless."

Qing Long glared at him, "That was absolutely not a nameless nobody. Stop talking nonsense. If you had faced him, you might have been more seriously injured than I was."

Bai Hu refused to believe it and snorted, "It's his good fortune that he didn't face me. If he had, I would have crushed him into pieces with one palm."

Qing Long was enraged, "You mean you are stronger than me? Then let's fight!"

"Bring it on, who's afraid of you? Don't say you only have half your life left, even in your prime, you wouldn't be my match."

"Fine, you say I only have half my life left, then I'll use this half-life to kill you."

The two were on the verge of drawing their weapons, and the other two immediately stepped in to mediate, pulling them apart.

As Xuan Wu was pulling Qing Long, he found him to be light and airy, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy.

Zhu Que said, "Everyone, let's not get carried away. Let's not forget our main objective today."

Bai Hu asked, "Are you talking about killing Zhu Yan and finding the magic treasures of Lu Xu and Zhu Yan? But how reliable is the information? What if these two never used magic treasures?"

"Impossible, this matter is absolutely true. Zhu Yan's Xuanji Disk and Lu Xu's Wanfa Lunar Wheel shook the ten thousand realms at that time," Zhu Que stated.

"Also, can we really deal with Zhu Yan's residual soul? What if we release her and can't defeat her? Not only would it be dereliction of duty, but it would also cost us our lives," Xuan Wu said with some worry.

"Rest assured," Zhu Que said confidently, "I have inquired about everything clearly. Xing Shen has a very accurate assessment of Zhu Yan's strength. He told me that with her residual soul's strength, it would be difficult for her to deal with even one of us. Moreover, I have thought of every detail. I also have the Soul-Catching Umbrella, specifically for dealing with residual souls. Don't worry, she's nothing to fear."

"But, there will only be two magic treasures inside, and there are four of us. How will we divide them?" Xuan Wu continued.

"We will all hand them over to Xing Shen, and he will distribute them. Whoever he gives them to, that's who gets them. Or, none of us will take them," Zhu Que said.

The others nodded in agreement, each with their own thoughts.

So, the four temporarily stopped their attacks, descended from the clouds, and went down the mountain.

At this time, inside the cave, Mo Qi heard their conversation clearly.

Xuanji Disk? Wanfa Lunar Wheel?

These must be good things!

So he immediately stopped cultivating and began searching for things in the cave.

The deep, dark cave was daunting, but at this moment, nothing could scare him. He mustered his courage and walked straight in.

A cool sensation kept rippling at the back of his neck. Mo Qi kept looking back as he walked, always feeling like something was following him. When he turned around, there was nothing.

Sometimes, it seemed like a red shadow floated past, but when he turned around, there was still nothing.

I'm a celestial being, what am I afraid of?

Mo Qi steeled himself and continued forward with large strides.

With a thud, he tripped over something and fell to the ground.

But when he got up and looked, the ground was flat, and there was nothing unusual. How strange, how did he fall?

Another chill ran down his spine.

"Who's there? Stop playing tricks, I see you."

All he heard was his own echo, nothing else.

He suddenly felt a desire to retreat.

No matter how important the magic treasure was, it wasn't as important as his life!

After thinking for a moment, he steeled himself again and continued to walk inside.

This time, he was careful and attentive, paying close attention to the ground, taking a step and then looking. As a result, he still fell.

This was too much!

Mo Qi got up and cursed, "Who's playing tricks? Dare you come out and face me? Using underhanded tactics from behind is not the act of a hero."

At this moment, a low sigh echoed in the air, "I'm afraid I'll scare you if I come out."

The voice was bone-chilling and made one's hair stand on end.

Hearing the voice, Mo Qi felt that this person must be someone who couldn't show their face, so he said, "Then don't come out, and find a place to hide, don't cause trouble."

"Ridiculous, you come into my cave and tell me to hide? What kind of logic is that?"

"Judging by your voice, you must be Zhu Yan's residual soul, right? Since you're already dead, nothing in this world belongs to you, including this cave, and the Xuanji Disk and the Wanfa Lunar Wheel." Mo Qi looked around, trying to locate the source of the voice.

"You know who I am, and you're not afraid of me?"

"Bite me? ...Ah!"

The last "Ah" was because his shoulder was bitten.

"You actually bit me?" Mo Qi clutched his shoulder, looking around everywhere for the person.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't find anyone.

He realized he couldn't afford to offend this person.

Forget it, he didn't want the treasure anymore, he should leave!

So Mo Qi turned and left. Discretion was the better part of valor.

"What, you don't want the magic treasures anymore?" the woman seemed somewhat disappointed.

"No, I don't," Mo Qi replied.

Without pausing, he continued to walk out.

However, after only a few steps, he fell again.

Mo Qi got up and looked at the dark, empty air aggrievedly, "I don't want your things anymore, what do you want?"

"It's been... millions of years? Anyway, I can't remember. For such a long time, no one has come in to accompany me. You finally came in, how could I possibly let you leave?" the woman's voice sounded again.

"Don't think I can't do anything about you," Mo Qi said angrily, "I just don't want to fight a woman."

"It's a pity I can't fight you, otherwise I would definitely fight you," Zhu Yan said.

"Why can't you fight?"

"Because I am only a residual soul. I need to possess someone else to fight you, and there is no third person here." Zhu Yan said.

At this moment, a noise came from outside the cave.

First, there was an explosion, and then several people walked in, making a lot of noise.

Mo Qi knew that the four people had entered, and they were here to snatch the treasure.

He suddenly thought of a possibility: could this residual soul possess him and take over his body to fight those people?

So he activated his Heavenly Bow and Earth Arrows, equipping himself and preparing for battle.

"Hey, you don't need to be nervous. I won't possess you anymore, because I tried just now, and I couldn't," Zhu Yan said.

You're quite honest!

Mo Qi felt a cold sweat, but how did she know his thoughts?

It was chilling to think about!

Those four people were looking for this woman, it had nothing to do with him!

He was happy to watch them fight amongst themselves.

With this thought, Mo Qi unfolded his spatial abilities and quietly moved outside the cave.

Zhu Yan also tried to sneak outside, but Zhu Que took out a mirror and shone it into the air, revealing Zhu Yan's true form.

"Still trying to run?" Zhu Que let out a sinister laugh.

Heavenly Seal of Nothingness!

Zhu Que pushed his hand forward, and a circular divine seal whistled out, striking towards Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan's body suddenly exploded, and six tentacles grew from its sides, extending infinitely and sweeping left and right. At the same time, Zhu Yan's body moved rapidly, shifting its form, and in an instant, the entire cave was filled with Zhu Yan's figures and countless tentacles.

Zhu Que and the others panicked, immediately activating their protective golden bodies and moving towards the outside of the cave.

The divine seal was torn to shreds and exploded in the air.

The explosive force expanded throughout the entire cave.

With a boom, a muffled sound echoed in the cave.

If it weren't for the barrier, the entire mountain would have collapsed.

But it was so firm! It was not affected at all.

However, the powerful force surged through the air, pushing everyone out.
