A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

How could Yuan Gu and Qing Di not know what the Bona people were thinking?

The opening of the Ancient God's Treasure is of paramount importance. Yuan Gu and the Azure Emperor seek information and items for achieving godhood, while the Bona people aim to decipher the method of self-destruction and, incidentally, seize the divine artifacts and the secrets to godhood. Therefore, a conflict is inevitable whenever the two sides meet at Xinbo Cape.

In the void, the battle intensified. Luo Cheng's gaze remained fixed on Yuan Gu. With his current cultivation level, he could discern some of the profound mysteries: Yuan Gu's strength had reached the peak of the lower realm, and apart from true gods, almost no one could rival her. After all, she was personally taught by Lingxu Heavenly Venerable, who had imparted to her numerous secret techniques and supernatural abilities.

When Yuan Gu fought against Tian Nan Shen, her moves were extremely exquisite, and her mastery of immortal arts and supernatural powers had reached a state of perfection. She used divine seals to control the Bei Ye Dan Ding, triggering the divine restrictions within the cauldron, which could both seal off space and possess terrifying offensive power. However, due to the environment of the Ancient God's Treasury, she dared not truly unleash her full power.

The Azure Emperor was the same; he focused on restraint and dared not unleash his full power.

After Li Jintianjun joined the battle, Bonaguxian stepped forward to provide support. The ancient god's restriction trembled slightly in the aftershocks of the battle, as if it were about to be triggered.

Seeing this, Li Qiang couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, let's go help too!"

"No!" Luo Cheng quickly stopped him. "Junior brother, this place is full of ancient god restrictions. We must not act recklessly."

"it is good."

The Azure Emperor said to the Heavenly Lords beside him who were not participating in the battle, "You should go to the entrance of the Ancient God's Treasury first."

"Yes!" The Heavenly Lords accepted the order and turned around.

Two Bonagu Immortals attempted to intercept him, but the Azure Emperor immediately activated the Heavenly Descent Wheel, stopping the two more. Thus, he was able to easily handle four Bonagu Immortals alone.

On the other side, Yuan Gu was fighting Tian Nan Shen alone. Tian Nan Shen was a top expert of the Bona Clan, ranking among the top five in strength. With the assistance of Li Jin Tian Jun, they gradually sealed off Tian Nan Shen's movement space.

The Azure Emperor, still having energy to spare after dealing with the four ancient immortals of Bona, said to Luo Cheng and Li Qiang, "You two go too!"

Luo Cheng said to Li Qiang, "Junior brother, give me the Heavenly Dragon Staff."

"Okay." Li Qiang handed over the dragon staff.

"Go with the four Heavenly Lords to the entrance and wait for me," Luo Cheng instructed.

"Take care!" Li Qiang didn't ask any more questions and turned to follow the figures of the Heavenly Lords.

Seeing that Luo Cheng had stayed, the Green Emperor did not say much.

Luo Cheng said, "I'm going to help Master Yuan Gu." With that, he flashed and moved in the direction of Yuan Gu.

Only now could he truly grasp the terror of the divine restrictions. These restrictions were as dense as a spiderweb, as if a room were filled with them, making it impossible for even mosquitoes to escape. Yet, the Azure Emperor, Yuan Gu, and Bona Ancient Immortal were able to fight in this environment and skillfully evade the divine restrictions.

Luo Cheng activated his divine eye, saw the direction of the divine runes, carefully avoided them, circled around behind the God of Difficulty, and activated the Heavenly Venerable Dragon Staff with the divine seal.

"How dare you, you brat!" Tian Nanshen noticed the commotion behind him and roared angrily, but he was too busy to deal with everything at once. He had to deal with Yuan Gu's cauldron, guard against Li Jin Tianjun's sneak attack, and keep an eye on the surrounding divine restrictions. He simply couldn't spare any hands to defend himself.

Luo Cheng closed in, and countless threads of law spewed from the mouth of the Heavenly Venerable Dragon Staff, instantly imprisoning the Heavenly Divine God. "Primordial Venerable, seal him!"

"Alright!" Yuan Gu made a decisive move and used the Shell-Forging Divine Restriction to take Tian Nan Shen into the cauldron, just like the Tian Zhen he had sealed before.

"Luo Cheng, it's been a while since I last saw you, and your strength has increased so much," Yuan Gu praised.

"I have to thank Venerable Yuan Gu for lending me the Pill Refining Cauldron," Luo Cheng said with a smile. He was referring to the opportunity he had for borrowing the cauldron, which allowed him to obtain a large number of divine pills and learn divine techniques.

A hint of apology flashed in Yuan Gu's eyes: "I'm just glad you don't blame me for taking back the alchemy cauldron back then."

"The fact that the Master is willing to lend me money is already a great kindness, how could I blame him?"

"You little rascal, you're quite amusing," Yuan Gu chuckled. Although Luo Cheng's strength was already close to her own, she still referred to him as "little rascal"—with her keen eyesight, she could tell that Luo Cheng's bone age was very young.

After exchanging a few words, the two turned and rushed to Qingdi's aid.

Luo Cheng unleashed the spatial laws he had just comprehended, evading the divine restriction and landing beside the Azure Emperor. He formed hand seals, and the Heavenly Venerable Dragon Staff transformed into a streak of light, crashing towards Bona Ancient Immortal. Yuan Gu attacked again, the Bei Ye Dan Ding floating in the void, divine restrictions permeating the air.

"Go!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Bonagu Xian turned around and tried to escape.

"Trying to run?" Luo Cheng and Yuan Gu attacked simultaneously, giving them no chance.

In a single exchange, four ancient Bona immortals were sealed into the alchemical cauldron. Seeing this, the remaining Bona people dared not fight any longer and fled in panic.

In this place filled with divine restrictions, the Azure Emperor and Yuan Gu did not pursue them—being able to trap a few people and frighten away the remaining Bona people was already a great achievement.

Since Mo Huaiyuan and Yi Junsha did not come to Xinbo Corner, Luo Cheng and his group did not need to take a detour and went directly to the entrance of the Ancient God's Treasury, and did not encounter Wu Xinghan Nu.

Luo Cheng thought of Wu Xinghan and muttered to himself, "How could Li Qiang like an ice block?" In his opinion, no matter how beautiful Wu Xinghan was, she was as cold as ice.

Luo Cheng likes girls like Lin Chen. She is warm, emotional, and passionate. She can be a little temperamental at times, but she is also very easy to coax. In Luo Cheng's eyes, a girl like Lin Chen is a truly vibrant person.

Wu Xinghan is very beautiful, and she is like a fairy, but she is too cold.

Before long, Luo Cheng met up with Li Qiang. Yuan Gu was still dressed as a young man, looking dashing and extraordinary.

When Li Qiang saw Yuan Gu again, he quickly greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Venerable Yuan Gu."

"You little rascal, you're much more polite than before," Yuan Gu teased.

Li Qiang was somewhat embarrassed—he couldn't explain why he always felt compelled to retort when he met someone stronger.

Yuan Gu whispered a few words to the Azure Emperor, then suddenly mentioned Master Boju: "That old fellow, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

The Azure Emperor said, "He has the Investiture of the Gods token, which makes it easy for him to come and go. He should be here soon."

Upon hearing the term "Investiture of the Gods Tablet," Luo Cheng immediately thought of Bo Ju's treasure that allowed rogue immortals to avoid heavenly tribulations. It was a quasi-King-grade immortal artifact, on par with Bei Ye's alchemy cauldron. Rogue immortals had to undergo a heavenly tribulation every thousand years, each one more powerful than the last, causing them immense suffering. If they hid inside the Investiture of the Gods Tablet, they could avoid the tribulation. Therefore, Bo Ju had taken in many rogue immortals.

Because of their chance encounter with the Azure Emperor and the lack of need to rescue Mo Huaiyuan and Yi Qunsha, Luo Cheng and his group went directly to the entrance of the Ancient God's Treasury. They neither encountered Wu Xinghan Nu nor saw Bo Ju Shangren.

During their conversation, Yuan Gu suddenly remembered something and asked Luo Cheng, "When you trapped Tian Nan Shen, you used a strange power. What was it?"

Luo Cheng was slightly surprised: "Even Master Yuangu couldn't see it?"

"I can't tell."

"That is the power of laws."

Upon hearing the word "laws," both Yuan Gu and Qing Di were shocked. It should be known that ordinary Luo Tian Immortals could at most comprehend fragments of laws, while spatial laws were a realm accessible only to Heavenly Gods. How could Luo Cheng, without even becoming a god, comprehend laws?

Luo Cheng explained, "When I was passing through the ancient god formation, I managed to comprehend a trace of it in the passage."

Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng listened from the sidelines. Seeing the expressions on Yuan Gu and Qing Di's faces, they realized how difficult it was to comprehend the laws. Even Yuan Gu could not grasp something, yet Luo Cheng had actually comprehended a trace of it.

Dai Nanfeng looked at Luo Cheng with a very complicated expression: "This guy is simply a monster."

Yuan Gu asked curiously, "Luo Cheng, where exactly are you from?"

Luo Cheng smiled mysteriously: "Would you believe me if I said I came from the Realm of Gods?"

"The Divine Realm?" Yuan Gu gave him a deep look, and seeing that he was unwilling to explain, he did not press the matter further. Although the Azure Emperor was also curious, he did not ask any further questions either.

Time passed quietly, and two days later, the opening of the Ancient God's Treasure was drawing ever closer.

A figure flew in from afar and landed beside the Azure Emperor. The newcomer was a man around fifty years old, with a long beard, handsome face, and an air of otherworldly elegance—it was none other than Master Boju.

He first greeted Qingdi and Yuangu, and Qingdi then introduced them: "This is Luo Cheng, and this is Li Qiang, who are my newly acquainted brothers."

"Brothers?" Master Boju was greatly surprised, never expecting that the Azure Emperor would recognize two juniors as brothers. Yuan Gu was also surprised; she had thought the Azure Emperor would take on disciples, but it turned out to be a sworn brotherhood. This move was tantamount to bringing Luo Cheng and Li Qiang into their camp.

Yuan Gu laughed and said, "In that case, Luo Cheng and Li Qiang, you can be considered my junior brothers as well."

Qian Shanyong was shocked, and Dai Nanfeng's expression was complicated. Who would have thought that the two who were originally of the same generation as him would become Yuan Gu's junior brother in the blink of an eye?

Two more days passed, and more and more immortals gathered around. There were ancient immortals from Bona, reclusive immortals from the cultivation world, and some ancient immortals who had never left the world. They gathered in twos and threes, adding a lively atmosphere to the originally empty void.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a light blue dress floated over. The woman's face was covered by a veil, and even from a distance, one could feel a chill.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Gu said, "The Cold Maiden has arrived."

Luo Cheng understood immediately; this was Wu Xinghan Nu. Her face was veiled, so her features were not visible, but she had a pair of beautiful eyes, though her gaze was extremely cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Li Qiang actually likes ice like this," Luo Cheng thought to himself, then added, "But he has a fire attribute constitution, and Han Nu has an ice attribute, so they are a good match."

Li Qiang whispered to Luo Cheng through telepathy, "This woman is so cold."

"Does she look like Little Dragon Girl?"

"Colder than Little Dragon Girl."

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of booming sounds echoed through the void, and the restrictions on the Ancient God's Treasury trembled violently.

"The Ancient God's Treasury is about to be opened!"
