The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 430, Boundary Decree

Hua Changxi stared at the well-shaped pool that seemed to swallow up stars, his eyes filled with undisguised suspicion.

Even if what Yuan Qi said is true, and there are many treasures in the Star Sea Pool, can the value of those treasures make up for the loss caused by the absorption of her merit power?

Yuan Qi saw the doubt in Hua Changxi's eyes and sighed deeply: "The Star Sea Pool is connected to the meridians of the stars in the Four Spirit Realms. All unclaimed treasures will eventually fall into it following the trajectory of the stars."

"It is no exaggeration to say that it is the largest treasure trove in the Four Spirit Realms."

"In the war to seal the realm before the Great Annihilation of antiquity, even the Four Spirit Emperors returned to chaos. Afterwards, all the gods and Dao Lords could not escape the calamity of their demise."

"But the imperial weapons wielded by the emperors, the divine weapons driven by the gods, the Dao weapons refined by the Dao Lords, and even the rare treasures they have collected throughout their lives will not perish because of the death of their masters."

"Those things, those who are destined, can obtain through this Star Sea Pool."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's eyes lit up as she looked at Yuan Qi: "Can't I catch them a few more times?"

Yuan Qi looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

Hua Changxi understood his meaning and didn't press him further. Instead, she stood quietly by the pool, concentrating on feeling the sensations.

Seeing that she was sensible, Yuan Qi reminded her, "The objects in the Star Sea Pool are bound by the gravitational pull of the stars and cannot be obtained by brute force. You need to rely on your own strength to resonate with the treasure in order to activate it."

Hua Changxi looked up: "How do I trigger the resonance of the treasure?"

Yuan Qi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own destiny; it's up to Peak Master Hua to experience it for himself."

When Hua Changxi heard him say that, she knew she wouldn't get any more information.

Having the experience of seizing the six blessed lands of Nanxiang City, she knew that many things needed to be explored personally to understand, and even if she encountered setbacks along the way, she could make corrections in the process.

With that thought in mind, she began to adjust her breathing, and when she was in the best condition, she decisively and slowly extended her right hand into the star-studded pool.

Seeing Hua Changxi's decisiveness, Yuan Qi's eyes flashed with admiration.

Hua Changxi's bold and enterprising spirit makes him a natural-born pioneer!

Outside the Starry Sea Pool, Hua Changxi could only vaguely see the dazzling starlight inside. Until her right hand went into the well, through the sensation in her hand, she suddenly had a strong feeling that she was in a starry universe!
She sensed the birth and death of billions of stars; she perceived countless blurry lights and shadows rising and falling in the Milky Way, some like swords, some like towers, some like scrolls, and some radiating heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

Those items were ownerless magical artifacts, ancient treasures, materials, and jade slips.

However, these treasures are not static. They are bound by the invisible gravitational field of the stars, moving slowly in their respective orbits, maintaining a subtle distance from each other, forming a grand and magnificent dynamic star map.

Grab the treasure?

How to catch it?
Those treasures seemed so close, but in reality, they were worlds away.

Hua Changxi began to circulate his spiritual power, and strands of spiritual energy, like silk threads, emerged from his right hand, carefully touching this sea of ​​stars.

"Om-"

The moment the spiritual energy was released, the entire Star Sea Pool seemed to ripple like a lake surface tossed with pebbles.

The floating treasures and their shimmering light seemed to be disturbed, their speed suddenly increased, and their light became flickering and even more elusive.

"Sigh~"

The power of the stars, flowing back from her spiritual energy, felt like thousands of tiny needles pricking her right hand, causing her to furrow her brow in pain. To avoid an even more violent counterattack, she could only tentatively increase her spiritual energy output little by little.

"no!"

As her spiritual power increased, the tearing force of the stars also intensified. If this continued, let alone grabbing treasures, her right hand would likely be torn apart by the violent gravitational pull of the stars.

"Perhaps, besides 'catching', we can also 'lure'."

Hua Changxi recalled the scene when she used the "Law of Heaven and Earth" technique, drawing upon the laws of heaven and earth for her own purposes.

With his right hand entering the Star Sea Pool, he couldn't use the "Law of Heaven and Earth" technique, but he could use the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" and "Ten Thousand Fires Converging" divine abilities. With this in mind, Hua Changxi directly used the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" divine ability.

The moment the supernatural power was unleashed, his right hand suddenly swelled, and the power of the stars frantically tore and shredded the enlarged limb.

Ignoring everything else, she lunged towards the area where the treasures were most concentrated—grabbing whatever she could get her hands on!
Just before the giant hand was about to be crushed, a cold token was finally clamped between its fingers.

Having obtained the token, Hua Changxi did not stop, but instead unleashed the 'Ten Thousand Fires Converging' divine power in one go.

A vortex of flames rose from the palm, drawing the surrounding starlight to rotate, and a fiery red longbow, radiating a scorching aura, was gradually pulled towards it by gravity.

The crack in her right hand had spread to her wrist. She dared not delay and, while gripping the longbow, she abruptly pulled her hand away from Chi Yuan!

Yuan Qi couldn't see what Hua Changxi did when she reached into the Starry Sea Pool.

But when he saw Hua Changxi withdraw her hand, the pillars on all four sides of the forbidden area burst forth with intense light, and the Vermilion Bird Pillar in the south even emitted the cry of the Vermilion Bird, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Bang, bang!"

Because of the cracks in her right hand, Hua Changxi could barely hold onto the token she had grabbed and the fiery red longbow she had attracted.

As soon as he left the Star Sea Pool, the token and longbow fell to the ground, stirring up bursts of light.

"This is."

Upon seeing the token and the fiery red longbow, Yuan Qi's pupils constricted, his face filled with shock: "You actually obtained these two items!"

Hua Changxi had no time to respond; her attention was entirely focused on her throbbing right hand—blood was dripping from between her fingers, and her entire hand was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

She quickly circulated her spiritual energy to stop the bleeding, and then used flames to burn away the bloodstains on the ground. Only when the wound stopped bleeding did she look up at Yuan Qi and ask, "Do you recognize these two things?"

Yuan Qi stared at the token and longbow on the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing, before finally speaking: "These are the Boundary Token and the Vermilion Bird Bow!"

The Vermilion Bird Bow is easy to understand.

After absorbing and refining the essence of the Vermilion Bird, Hua Changxi was not surprised that he could attract magical artifacts and treasures related to the Vermilion Bird.

What is a boundary decree?

Hua Changxi picked up the token, which was covered with mysterious runes and had lifelike totems of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise carved in the four corners.

Yuan Qi sighed, "Those who hold the boundary token can freely enter and exit the Four Spirit Realms without being blocked by the boundary walls, which is equivalent to carrying a small boundary gate with them."

Seeing that Hua Changxi seemed indifferent and did not understand its importance, Yuan Qi asked again, "Do you know what methods cultivators in the Four Spirit Realms have to leave the realm?"

Hua Changxi felt that leaving the realm was still a long way off for her, and she didn't really value the realm token in her hand, but she still casually asked, "What methods are there?"

Yuan Qi: "The most proper method is naturally to go through the boundary gate."

"The Four Spirit Realms have four great gates suspended in the Nine Heavens, guarding the four directions: east, south, west, and north, which are the Four Heavenly Gates."

"The boundary gate is the key to maintaining the stability of the Four Spirit Realms. It is guarded by the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise armies all year round. Ordinary cultivators may not be able to get close to one of them in their entire lives."

"Besides the four major gates, one can also leave the interface through some special secret realms or spatial rifts, but it is very dangerous, and almost none of them will return."

"Those who obtain the Boundary Token can not only freely travel between realms, but also use it to find the Boundary Temple."

Jiemiao?

Upon hearing another unfamiliar term, Hua Changxi quickly asked, "What is a boundary temple?"

Yuan Qi shook his head: "I don't know much about this either. I only know that there are other realms outside the Four Spirit Realms. These realms interact with each other and form world associations like markets in certain star regions."

"The boundary temple is a landmark hall that represents a boundary at the boundary meeting."
