If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

The contents recorded in the jade slip are very brief, consisting of only a few short sentences, without any extra details or supporting evidence.

The situation on the battlefield outside the Chaos Domain was completely different from all of Zhou Ming's previous guesses.

Neither side launched a counterattack during the conflict between the two realms.

After hundreds of years of repeated negotiations between the two sides' sage-level experts, they finally reached a ceasefire agreement.

Now, all the participating cultivators who were originally stationed on the chaotic battlefield, fighting and confronting each other, are now...

Whether they are saints, quasi-saints, or great golden immortals from this immortal realm, or cultivators invading from beyond the realm.

They have all ventured deep into the chaos, searching for an unknown treasure.

Apart from that, there was no other record in the jade slip.

There is no name of the treasure, no characteristics of the treasure, and no related clues.

Zhou Ming held the jade slip in his hand, his brows furrowed, and stood quietly in place, head bowed in thought.

He repeatedly sorted through all the existing information in his mind, combined with the various changes in the immortal realm over the past thousand years, and constantly deduced the possibilities.

However, the clues he had were far too few, and the information was severely lacking.

No matter how you calculate it, you can't get any accurate or useful conclusions.

All these speculations are merely conjecture and cannot be verified.

After a brief period of fruitless contemplation, Zhou Ming decided to stop wasting time, stood up, and looked towards the direction outside the city.

The Xuanxian realm cultivator who sold information has already left the city.

It was flying rapidly towards the distant Chengtian Sword Sect.

Without hesitation, Zhou Ming's figure instantly became ethereal, and he flashed directly to the top of the cultivator's head.

Zhou Ming's appearance went unnoticed by the Xuanxian Realm cultivators below who were on their way, and they continued on their way as usual.

Zhou Ming slowly released a wisp of world power, silently enveloping the cultivator below and invading his sea of ​​consciousness through the gaps in the cultivator's soul.

In order not to attract his attention, Zhou Ming did not forcibly seize the other party's memories.

Simply browse through the other person's recent memories in the gentlest way possible, without disturbing the other person or making them aware of anything.

In a short while, Zhou Ming finished browsing and withdrew his power of the world.

The information sold by this Xuanxian Realm cultivator was completely true, without any fabrication or exaggeration.

According to this person's memory, the news of the chaotic ceasefire and the treasure hunt was not something he deliberately sought out, but rather came from the higher-ups of his sect.

His father was a Golden Immortal cultivator in the Chengtian Sword Sect, belonging to the core of the sect's middle level, and had access to the sect's superficial secrets.

His grandfather was a high-ranking member of the Chengtian Sword Sect, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator stationed within the sect.

On one occasion, when his grandfather and father were having a private conversation about the external situation, he happened to be nearby and overheard the whole conversation.

Today, while handling personal matters in the city, he overheard someone in the city offering a large sum of money to buy intelligence on the battlefields beyond the borders. He immediately recalled this secret he had overheard by chance.

This news was not considered a secret among high-ranking cultivators in the Immortal Realm.

The higher-ups of most of the major sects in the Immortal Realm were already aware of it, but everyone tacitly chose to remain silent and not disclose it to the public.

Because this involves the arrangements of a sage, a mishap could incur the sage's wrath.

However, whether or not there is holy wrath, it has nothing to do with him, a mere cultivator.

Besides, he only sold it to one person; as for it spreading, that wasn't his doing.

He wanted to exchange it for some cultivation resources and even stay at the Hehuan Sect for a few days, which is why he took the initiative to come to their door to trade.

In addition, Zhou Ming also gleaned another crucial piece of hidden information from the other party's scattered fragments of memory.

For nearly a thousand years, all the major and minor forces in the Immortal Realm have been secretly dispatching their disciples to various places, the edge of chaos, and the crevices between different realms to secretly search for an unknown and mysterious treasure.

The father of this Xuanxian realm cultivator was one of the treasure hunters sent out by the Chengtian Sword Sect.

He learned about this by chance from his mother, but he never took it to heart.

I only considered it a routine mission of the sect and never investigated the reasons behind it, so my memory of it is very vague and lacks many details.

But this seemingly insignificant matter, in Zhou Ming's eyes, instantly connected all the abnormal situations that had occurred over the past thousand years.

He stood high in the sky, his expression serious, his mind racing as he reviewed all the doubts from the past thousand years, connecting and corroborating each of the unusual events.

A thousand years ago, the nine sages remained on the Chaos Battlefield and did not return, resisting the invasion of people from beyond the realm in the chaos.

Later, after a sage returned, he carried out a large-scale purge of the ascended cultivators.

They defined the "Scripture of Crossing the World" as a forbidden cultivation method and dispatched tens of millions of Mahayana cultivators to the mortal realm to cleanse it.

Publicly reveal the characteristics of people from outside the territory and issue arrest warrants for themselves and Su Mingyue.

And there's that mysterious old man in the chaos who traverses the heavens, deploying countless transmigrators to orchestrate his schemes.

All the seemingly scattered and independent events have now come together.

A bold and truthful deduction slowly took shape in his mind.

The invasion launched by outsiders was not intended to conquer the world, plunder resources, or seize territory.

The real purpose is likely to use the pretext of war to search for that mysterious treasure across a wide area of ​​chaos or this universe.

A mysterious old man from the chaos has sent countless transmigrators into this universe, granting them all special abilities and orchestrating events over countless years, all with the same goal: to find that treasure.

The reason why the nine sages of this world spare no expense in constantly purging people from outside the realm is that...

The slaughter of cultivators who practiced the "Crossing the World Scripture" may not have been for the purpose of protecting this universe or resisting invasion.

They probably also realized the existence of the treasure and knew the purpose of the extraterrestrial forces.

Sweeping away outsiders and killing transmigrators are all for the purpose of eliminating competitors and monopolizing treasures and opportunities.

What the sage feared was not invasion from beyond the realm, but rather that those from beyond the realm would find the treasure first and take it out of this universe.

Besides, the sage broke through the barrier between immortals and mortals, sending countless Mahayana cultivators down to the mortal realm to cleanse it and annihilate all cultivators practicing the "Crossing the World Scripture." This was not at all to eliminate forbidden techniques or prevent extraterrestrial puppets; it was all just a pretext.

The sage's true purpose was to conduct a thorough search of every corner of the heavens, from the celestial realm to the human realm, to find this supreme treasure that could move the sages of both realms.

Once all the causal relationships are understood, all the seemingly bizarre, contradictory, and unsolvable situations can be rationally explained, and all the mysteries of the past thousand years can be closed.

Zhou Ming's eyes were deep, and his heart was filled with shock.

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of treasure, of what grade and what kind of power, could make the saints of the two universes put aside their war and hatred and shake hands in peace.

It enabled all the top forces to mobilize their entire forces to search, and it allowed the Chaos Elder to plan for eternity and cultivate countless time travelers.

Even innate treasures are absolutely insufficient to mobilize a group of saint-level experts.

The Chaos Treasure is most likely only a legendary Chaos Treasure, which possesses such allure.
