The First Marquis of Daxuan

Step by step, Luo Dongren's bottom line became lower and lower.

He didn't realize at all that his initial attempt to control the situation had been completely thwarted by a single sentence from Su Mu, which caused him to lose the initiative entirely.

Later on, he was completely led by the nose by Su Mu.

Even as he uttered those words, he didn't realize that he had completely fallen into Su Mu's rhythm.

The confidence and assurance I had when I first arrived have vanished.

By this point, he had completely run out of options.

Su Mu looked at Luo Dongren and smiled.

"What value do you think you can bring to me?"

Su Mu smiled calmly.

Luo Dongren felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he looked at Su Mu as if he were looking at a devil.

This person is more terrifying than the devil!
Luo Dongren now deeply regrets his actions; why did he ever dare to attempt to negotiate with Su Mu?
Even going to negotiate with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, would be better than coming to Su Mu.

Who exactly gave me this confidence?
The scenes of being trapped and toyed with by Su Mu twice were still fresh in my mind. How could I be so confident as to come looking for Su Mu?
Now look what happened, they dug their own hole and jumped right in.

Isn't this like selling yourself out and then having to help the other person count the money?
“You know perfectly well what kind of situation we tomb keepers are, and you must also know perfectly well what value we have.”

"Lord Su, just tell me directly, what do you want us to do?"

Luo Dongren said with a wry smile.

"happy."

Su Mu clapped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I'll show you the way."

"After you have gained the trust of Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, find a way to take back the divine weapon of destiny from Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu."

Su Mu continued, "In addition, you tomb guardians also have family lineages in the Taixu Sacred Realm. Give me your respective identity documents so that one day I may need the cooperation of your respective family descendants."

"A descendant of a family from the Taixu Sacred Realm?"

Luo Dongren fell silent.

These tomb keepers were all exiled to the outer realms to serve as tomb keepers after they had committed crimes.

In truth, the reason they accepted this punishment was to protect their families or sects.

Like the Lu family patriarch, they do indeed have descendants in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

If they can truly return to the Taixu Sacred Realm alive, they can indeed be considered patriarchs of their sect or family.

In addition, since they took the blame for the sect, the sect or their families would always have to remember some past favors.

Luo Dongren never expected that Su Mu had already set his sights on the Taixu Sacred Realm.

To be honest, if Su Mu really went to the Taixu Sacred Realm with their identity documents, the sects and families behind them might indeed give Su Mu some convenience.

If Su Mu really asked them to do something, they might obey.

"What, you don't want to?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"no--"

Luo Dongren hesitated and said, "However, so many years have passed, and we don't know what the situation is like in the Taixu Sacred Realm now. We may not even know if our sect and family in the Taixu Sacred Realm still exist."

The Lu family, formerly known as Old Lu's family, had already vanished into thin air...

That's not something you need to worry about.

Su Mu calmly interrupted him, saying, "You just need to hand over your identification documents. Whether they are useful or how to use them is my business."

Luo Dongren hesitated.

To be honest, Su Mu's conditions weren't that difficult to meet; they were much simpler than he had imagined.

Collecting seventy-two divine weapons of destiny was originally what the tomb guardians wanted to do.

As for identification documents, that's a piece of cake for them.

However, the matter of identity documents can be a big deal or a small deal, and no one knows what Su Mu will ask the families and sects behind him to do in the future.

But if they don't agree, the tomb keepers might vanish into thin air immediately.

"Okay, I promise you!"

After a long silence, Luo Dongren finally made his decision and spoke.

"The matter of Gou Ye—"

Luo Dongren asked.

“Go back and tell Gou Ye that I said so, and that he should cooperate with you to stage a fake death.”

Su Mu gave him a meaningful look and said calmly.

"Get Gou Ye to cooperate with us?"

In an instant, Luo Dongren's mouth went dry, and his face was filled with shock.

…………

"You're quite smart."

Gou Ye looked at Luo Dongren with a dissatisfied expression and said, "I was originally going to kill you all, but now that you're on my side, it's not so easy to do it."

Upon hearing Gou Ye's words, Luo Dongren and the Lu family patriarch were all speechless.

They exchanged a glance and both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

Gou Ye is actually one of Su Mu's men?

Who would have thought of this?
Even Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan of Han, Yang Xiuhu, probably couldn't have imagined this.

The people they sent to deal with Su Mu were actually in cahoots with Su Mu.

Gou Ye is a descendant of the Celestial Venerable.

How exactly did Su Mu manage to persuade Gou Ye to defect?

While Lu family patriarch and Luo Dongren were puzzled, they also felt a wave of fear.

Imagine, if this hadn't happened, would they have survived when Gou Ye and Su Mu joined forces to deal with them?
With Su Mu's strength, he was already capable of killing all the tomb guardians. With Gou Ye added to the mix, they would have absolutely no chance of escaping.

They were practically walking on the edge of life and death. If Luo Dongren had returned even a few days later, Gou Ye would probably have already made his move.

"That's good, your strength is not bad either."

Serving Lord Su would barely qualify one as qualified.

Gou Ye sized up Luo Dongren and the Lu family patriarch, smacked his lips, and said, "This is your chance. When Lord Su rises to great heights in the future, you will also benefit from it."

Then let's do as Lord Su says and put on a big show for that bastard Zheng Deshan.

"Zheng Deshan is far from capable of outsmarting Grandpa Gou!"

…………

Several months later, a message reached the capital.

The three prefectures of Lingnan were struck by an earthquake once again, causing the teleportation array that was about to be built to completely collapse.

Upon receiving this news, Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, both breathed a sigh of relief.

While urging Liang Jinglue to expedite the construction of the teleportation array, they also sent a message to Gou Ye to continue their mission.

Two months later, the teleportation array that the three prefectures of Lingnan had rebuilt was destroyed again.

Upon receiving this news, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Old Zheng, you did a great job!"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, laughed loudly, "Three times in a row, even if Su Mu could immediately mobilize new resources, it would be impossible for him to build the teleportation array before us."

You deserve immense credit for this!

"Thanks to His Majesty's great fortune."

Zheng Deshan bowed slightly and said, "However, Liang Jinglue has not yet achieved complete success, so we cannot let our guard down."

"We can send people to sabotage the teleportation array Su Mu built, and Su Mu can also send people to sabotage our teleportation array."

"I will send more people."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, nodded and said, "Even if Su Mu has great abilities, he would never dare to come to the capital of Da Xuan and cause trouble."

If he dares to come, I will make sure he never leaves!

"Once the teleportation array is completed, we will be able to communicate with the Taixu Sacred Realm. At that time, we will naturally be able to quickly leave Su Mu behind."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said confidently.

Zheng Deshan nodded slightly and said, "We can wrap things up with Gou Ye and the tomb keeper now."

"You can handle these things yourself. You can coordinate whatever you need. I approve everything."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, waved his hand and said.

Zheng Deshan bowed and withdrew.

Not long after, he returned to his residence.

Just as the doors and windows were closed, a figure silently appeared.

The visitor was none other than Luo Dongren, one of the tomb keepers.

Luo Dongren cupped his hands in greeting to Zheng Deshan and said in a low voice, "Lord Zheng, we have lived up to our mission and have successfully gained Su Mu's trust!"

"Gou Ye is dead?"

Zheng Deshan looked at Luo Dongren and asked.

"Yes."

Luo Dongren said, "It's a pity that Gou Ye's body is gone, otherwise I would have brought his head back."

Now, all I can do is bring this item back.

As he spoke, he handed a pendant to Zheng Deshan.

After Zheng Deshan took it, he carefully checked it and finally confirmed that it was indeed Gou Ye's personal storage weapon, which contained various treasures that Gou Ye had collected.

Even more surprisingly, Zheng Deshan discovered the secret manual of the Heavenly Venerable's ultimate technique, the Hateful Earth Without Rings, inside.

"You haven't seen what's in here?"

Zheng Deshan raised his head and looked at Luo Dongren.

"No."

Luo Dongren shook his head and said, "Although we tomb guardians have fallen on hard times and ended up in the outer realms, we still know exactly what we should and shouldn't do."

We won't covet what isn't ours.

"It's nothing."

Zheng Deshan nodded and then tossed the storage weapon to Luo Dongren.

"Consider the things in here a gift from me. Do your jobs well, and I won't treat you unfairly."

"Now that we have chosen to cooperate with you, we will naturally do our best."

Luo Dongren said, "However, Su Mu is no pushover either. Although we have now infiltrated his side by using Gou Ye as a pledge of loyalty, he may still have some suspicions about us."

"That's for sure, so I'll have people cooperate with you. As long as you achieve some success for the three prefectures of Lingnan, he will naturally trust you completely."

Zheng Deshan said.

"That's what we think too, so we'll do whatever Su Mu tells us to do. If there's any misunderstanding, please forgive us, Lord Zheng."

Luo Dongren said.

He put away Gou Ye's storage weapon and thought to himself, "Just as Gou Ye expected, Zheng Deshan doesn't care about the things in this storage space at all."

Zheng Deshan and Gou Ye are both no good.

Luo Dongren inwardly grumbled, and silently added another name.

Shetland Sheepdog!

Compared to these people, the tomb keepers are as pure as white lotus flowers.

Do these tomb guardians really have the ability to compete with these people for the world?

Luo Dongren wavered slightly, but he banished these chaotic thoughts from his mind and continued according to the plan, "The first task Su Mu assigned us was to collect seventy-two divine weapons of destiny."

In particular, he plans to send us back to the capital of Da Xuan to steal back the divine weapons that originally belonged to him from His Majesty.

"Satisfy him."

Zheng Deshan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

“Su Mu is destined for greatness. I suspect that only he can find the treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves.”

Zheng Deshan said in a deep voice, "You will lie in wait by his side, and when he finds the treasure, you will seize the opportunity to take it."

"At that time, I guarantee you tomb keepers will be able to return to the Sacred Realm of the Great Void in glory."

"Really?"

Luo Dongren's face lit up with surprise.

"Zheng never lies."

Zheng Deshan said solemnly.

After Luo Dongren left with profuse thanks, Zheng Deshan sat alone in the dark room, tapping his fingers on the table, his eyes gleaming.

He pondered for a long time, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

…………

Luo Dongren did not linger and rushed back to the three prefectures of Lingnan, covered in dust.

As he approached Su Mu's location, a look of emotion appeared on his face.

These people were scheming against each other. Zheng Deshan thought that Su Mu's teleportation array had been completely destroyed, but little did he know that Su Mu had simply moved the teleportation array to a different location.

He hollowed out a mountain and built a teleportation array inside it.

In this way, the spies sent out by the Great Xuan Dynasty were unable to find the teleportation array at all.

He, a dignified tomb keeper, has now become a messenger.

But he had no choice.

The thought that even the descendants of the Celestial Venerable had been subdued by Su Mu made him feel much better.

Although their tomb guardians were strong, they were still no match for the descendants of the Celestial Venerable.

Even the descendants of the Celestial Venerable couldn't defeat Su Mu, so it's understandable that they couldn't defeat Su Mu either.
"We, the tomb guardians, have been guarding the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon for so many years, yet we still don't know where the treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves is. Can Su Mu really find that legendary treasure?"

Luo Dongren thought of what Zheng Deshan had said and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves was also what the tomb guardians were after.

The Lu family patriarch had previously suggested that they secretly lie in wait, find the treasure left behind by the seventy-two thieves, and then confront Su Mu and Emperor Yang Xiuhu.

However, all the tomb keepers agreed that the chances of finding the legendary treasure were too slim.

Zheng Deshan now actually believes that Su Mu can find the legendary treasure.

"If we stay by Su Mu's side and Su Mu really finds the legendary treasure, wouldn't we be able to get a share of it?"

With these thoughts in mind, Luo Dongren swept across the sky and entered the city.

…………

“Master, I don’t think those gravediggers are trustworthy. We still need to find a chance to kill them.”

Gou Ye leaned close to Su Mu and whispered something.

Luo Dongren has brought back the news that those divine weapons of destiny will soon be retrieved.

But the more attentive they were, the less trustworthy Gou Ye felt they were.

"Think about it, how cunning is Zheng Deshan? And Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, is no pushover either. Do you think they would give up the divine weapon they've already obtained?"

Gou Ye said, "There must be some conspiracy between the tomb keeper and them for them to help the tomb keeper like this." "Didn't Luo Dongren make it clear? Zheng Deshan and Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu were sent to infiltrate my side."

"If I want them to trust me, they'll have to pay a price."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "A few divine weapons of destiny, I think the price is still too low."

"Although the gravediggers have been honest with us, they are definitely still holding back some information."

Gou Ye said.

"Isn't it normal to hold back? They are all ancestral beings in the Taixu Sacred Realm, how could they be willing to be subordinate to others?"

Su Mu said, "But it doesn't matter. As long as my strength can always suppress them, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"If that's the case, your cultivation at the Heavenly Profound Realm is still a bit lacking. It would be great if you could break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm, Patriarch."

Gou Ye, with a thoughtful expression, said, "Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu and Zheng Deshan are also colluding to build a teleportation array. I'm worried that they might attract powerful experts from the Taixu Sacred Realm."

"Didn't you say that experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm wouldn't dare to come to the outer realms casually?"

Su Mudao.

"That's true, but besides the Heavenly Fate Realm, the Heavenly Profound Realm experts of the Great Void Saint Realm are also extremely terrifying."

In particular, the Ten Vajra Generals under the Martial Ancestor and the Golden Armored General of the Azure Sky Sect could exchange a few blows with a Heavenly Fate Realm expert.

"If you were to encounter them now, Patriarch, you probably wouldn't be a match for them."

Gou Ye said.

In his view, although Su Mu's talent was remarkable, he had been trapped in the outer realms for too long, and his foundation could not compare with those true geniuses in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Unfortunately, the Gou family has already declined.

Otherwise, with Su Mu's talent, if he had been born during the Gou family's peak period, he might even have received guidance from the Heavenly Venerable.

If that were the case, Su Mu would probably have already become a Heavenly Fate Realm expert.

Now, if you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step. Who knows when you'll break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm?

Gou Ye himself had been trapped at the peak of the Heavenly Profound Realm for many years.

Even after obtaining the Profound Heaven Breakthrough Pill from Su Mu, he still failed to break through.

The Heavenly Fate Realm is really not that easy to reach.

The Ten Vajra Generals under the Martial Ancestor and the Golden Armored Generals of the Azure Sky Sect are all renowned geniuses in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Even so, they were trapped at the peak of the Heavenly Profound Realm, unable to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm for many years.

Only those at the Heavenly Fate Realm can be considered truly top-tier beings within the Great Void Sacred Realm.

Only when Su Mu reaches the Heavenly Fate Realm can he truly rest easy in this outer realm.

"Heavenly Fate Realm..."

Su Mu also fell into deep thought.

Let alone the Heavenly Fate Realm, he hasn't even reached the limit of cultivation in the Heavenly Profound Realm.

To date, he has only managed to break through to the Great Completion stage of the Nine Tribulations Suppressing Prison Scripture.

Neither the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique nor the Great Evolution Technique have yet reached the Great Completion stage.

According to Su Mu's habit, his Heavenly Profound Realm cultivation would be considered complete only when both the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique and the Great Evolution Technique reached the Great Completion Realm simultaneously.

Only when that time comes will he consider breaking through to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

However, if he mastered both the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique and the Great Evolution Technique, Su Mu estimated that the Ten Vajras and Golden Armored Generals that Gou Ye mentioned would be no match for him.

The demon cat once said that once the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques are mastered, one will be invincible and almost invincible.

To simultaneously master the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique and the Great Evolution Technique, one would need at least a billion to two billion points.

Although he has made considerable progress during this period, he is still far from reaching two billion points.

Su Mu estimated that even if he devoted all his time to alchemy and weapon forging, it would take him one or two years to accumulate two billion points.

Although one or two years is not a long time, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Zheng Deshan may not give him that time.

"Unfortunately, patriarch, you were born at an inopportune time. Our Gou family has already declined."

Gou Ye sighed and said, "If it were during the peak of our Gou family, we would definitely have a way to provide you with the resources you need to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm."

Right now, I still have some things, but it's definitely not enough.

If you ask me, we should think of a way. If we can find that legendary treasure, then you, Patriarch, will have the resources you need to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

I've heard that even the Heavenly Venerable would covet the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Su Mu had heard about the treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves more than once.

However, there are no actual clues about this treasure.

Everyone says that if you collect all seventy-two divine weapons, you might find a treasure.

But collecting all seventy-two divine weapons of destiny is no easy feat.
Luo Dongren brought back several divine weapons of destiny from the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The Purple Gold Beam of the Sea, the Demon-Slaying Sword, the Xuanhuang Mountain-Suppressing Pagoda, and the Dragon-Hiding Stake.

In addition, Su Mu already possessed the Fire-Tipped Spear and the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

To date, Su Mu possesses six divine weapons destined for him.

However, to collect all seventy-two divine weapons, sixty-six more are still needed.

Even though the tomb keepers have all set out to search for the divine weapons of destiny, it remains a question whether they can bring back all sixty-six divine weapons of destiny.

The treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves is now too far away to quench our immediate thirst.

"Breaking through to the Heavenly Fate Realm can't be rushed."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "According to Luo Dongren, the teleportation array of Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu should be almost completed."

I need to retrieve this teleportation array.

"Isn't this too risky?"

Gou Ye said with some concern.

Su Mu had mentioned this to him before, but he always thought Su Mu was joking.

Gou Ye knew that Su Mu had comprehended the Qiankun Creation Technique, but to be honest, Su Mu's Qiankun Creation Technique was still a bit lacking.

It is still quite difficult to seal the entire teleportation array into the Destiny Weapon.

"I was overthinking it before."

Su Mu smiled faintly, "I've always wanted to use a Destiny-grade weapon that I crafted myself to carry the teleportation array."

That would naturally place extremely high demands on the principles of creation and transformation.

But don't forget, I possess a divine weapon of destiny.

If the teleportation array were moved inside the Heavenly Weapon, the difficulty would be much reduced.

Gou Ye looked puzzled. He didn't understand the Qiankun Creation Method, and in his view, there was no difference between the two.

Anyway, it's all very difficult.

Su Mu didn't explain further, as it involved the mysteries of the Qiankun Creation Method, and even if he wanted to explain it to Gou Ye, he wouldn't be able to.

In short, if he were to make a move now, combined with the Heavenly Venerable's ultimate technique, the Hateful Earth Ring, he could completely seal a space the size of a teleportation array into the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

“After I take the teleportation array, I will be weakened and probably unable to escape from Da Xuan Jing City. Therefore, I need you to come with me on this mission.”

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "I need you to take me away from Da Xuanjing City."

"Rest assured, Patriarch, anyone who tries to harm you will have to step over my dead body first!"

Gou Ye patted his chest and assured him.

…………

Before Su Mu even set off for the capital of Da Xuan, the teleportation array in the three states of Lingnan had already been completed.

When Su Mu arrived at the cave where the teleportation array was built, Zhang Zhuohua's tired face couldn't hide his excitement.

"Lord Su, I have not failed you!"

Zhang Zhuohua said excitedly.

Although some problems arose along the way, he eventually managed to set up the teleportation array.

The second time Zhang Zhuohua set up this formation, he felt that his skills in formations had improved by leaps and bounds.

This kind of experience in arranging formations is something that can only be encountered by chance.

It's important to understand that the cost of setting up a teleportation array is staggering; the annual tax revenue of the three prefectures of Lingnan might not even be enough to cover it.

Being able to oversee the setup of such a large formation is a rare experience for any formation cultivator, and an opportunity that is hard to come by.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Su Mu patted Zhang Zhuohua on the shoulder and said.

"It's not hard."

Zhang Zhuohua said that it was certainly hard work, but if he could do it again, he would do it willingly.

However, this can only be a thought.

Zhang Zhuohua also knew that with the financial resources of the three prefectures in Lingnan, it was simply impossible to build a second teleportation array.

"This teleportation array can only support one round trip."

Zhang Zhuohua explained to Su Mu, "This is not a problem with our formation, but a problem with the formation diagram itself."

Even at such a high price, this teleportation array can only be used once.

Zhang Zhuohua had already explained this to Su Mu, but he emphasized it again now.

Looking at the teleportation array that emitted a faint glow, Su Mu felt a sense of emotion.

To be honest, this teleportation array does resemble the spaceships from his previous life.

The spaceship that you work so hard to build can only fly once.

However, later on, someone with unorthodox methods built a spaceship that could fly repeatedly...

Getting back to the main point, if we had to say how much this teleportation array cost, it would have cost over ten million taels of silver.

The annual tax revenue of the three prefectures in Lingnan is only a few million taels of silver.

It can be said that this teleportation array consumed two or three years' worth of taxes from the three prefectures of Lingnan.

This price is not small.

Having paid such a high price, he could only afford one round trip. Su Mu wasn't sure if he could even break even.

"According to the array diagram, this teleportation array can easily transport a hundred people at a time."

Su Mu pondered for a moment before speaking.

He himself understood formations and had naturally studied that formation diagram long ago.

"According to the original plan, Zhang Zhuohua, you go there. In addition, Sect Master Chen Beixuan and his wife, as well as Wu Chang, the Sect Master of the Witchcraft Sect, will also bring some people with you."

Su Mu continued.

This was something they had planned long ago.

Chen Beixuan and Wu Chang, the leader of the Witchcraft Sect, are both seasoned veterans, making them ideally suited for this kind of exploratory work.

Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin and the others are still too young.

As for Su Mu himself, now is not the time to go to the Taixu Sacred Realm.

After he seizes the teleportation array from Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, he might consider letting Dongfang Liuyun and the others go to the Taixu Sacred Realm for training.

For now, the priority should be to play it safe.

"You have two tasks. First, find the monster cat as much as possible."

Secondly, try to learn as much as possible about the Taixu Sacred Realm. If you have the capacity, you can also bring back some items from the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Su Mu said.

"Don't worry, now that we've gone, we certainly won't come back empty-handed."

Wu Chang, the leader of the Witchcraft Sect, grinned and said.

Gou Ye hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

He originally intended to return to the Sacred Realm of the Void to retrieve the Gou family's Eight Treasures Box.

However, Su Mu is about to embark on an adventure in the capital city of Da Xuan, and he cannot leave him.

"After we get our hands on Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu's teleportation array, you should also go back to the Taixu Sacred Realm and retrieve the Eight Treasures Box."

Su Mu turned his head and glanced at Gou Ye, knowing exactly what Gou Ye was thinking, and casually said.

Gou Ye nodded.

"This is their first time visiting the Taixu Sacred Realm. You are from the Taixu Sacred Realm, so tell them about the situation there, in case anything unexpected happens to them since they are unfamiliar with the place."

Su Mu said to Gou Ye.

Gou Ye did not refuse.

Ever since he mistook Su Mu for a member of the Gou family, he viewed Su Mu's subordinates as Gou family retainers.

These people are the foundation for the Gou family's future resurgence, and Gou Ye certainly cannot allow anything to happen to them.

Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin and others watched with envy as Chen Beixuan and the others prepared to go to the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Although they also wanted to go, Su Mu had already made his decision, and none of them objected to him.

"When I chose you back then, I just thought that if I followed you, I could see Taixu again one day. I never imagined that Taixu would be so close to me so soon."

Dongfang Liuyun stood beside Su Mu and said with emotion.

"Don't you think that Taixu is different from what you imagined?"

Su Mu glanced at Dongfang Liuyun's pale eyes and spoke.

"Your eyes have been altered by the Great Void, but it seems that the Great Void Sacred Realm itself should not have this function."

Su Mu said, "Perhaps the Taixu you saw back then is not the Taixu Sacred Realm we are talking about now."

"I've had my doubts about that too."

Dongfang Liuyun nodded and said.

As their strength has increased, they are now able to access secrets that were inaccessible before.

The Great Void Sacred Realm is just another space; it does not inherently possess the ability to mutate Dongfang Liuyun's eyes.

People like Gou Ye, the Barbarian God, Zheng Deshan, and Xu Xuanji all came from the Taixu Sacred Realm, and they were no different from people from other regions.

Although Gou Ye also mentioned that there are many different races in the Taixu Sacred Realm, he had never heard of a case like Dongfang Liuyun.

"I suspect that what I saw back then might have been the barrier that the Seventy-Two Thieves used to separate the Great Void Sacred Realm from the outer realms."
"Is it because my eyes couldn't withstand that kind of stimulation that they turned out like this?"

"Dongfang Liuyun said."

"I think so."

Su Mu said slowly, "What you saw may be the treasure left behind by the legendary Seventy-Two Thieves that the tomb keeper and Yang Xiuhu have been searching for."

Your eyes were not injured; rather, it was an unexpected turn of events.

You may have stumbled upon a treasure trove by chance back then, and gained an unexpected opportunity.

"The legendary treasure?"

Dongfang Liuyun said with a wry smile, "If you put it that way, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
That was a legendary treasure! I went inside, and all I got was this little bit of luck.

"I wandered into a mountain of treasures and returned empty-handed—that perfectly describes me."

"You're just being hypocritical. So many people are looking for the treasure, but you beat them to it."

You should think again about how you got in there in the first place.

Su Mu said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
