Chapter 1657 News of Obtaining a Dao Source Treasure

“Fairy Binglan is joking. Elder Wanbao has a keen eye. Anyone who can gain his favor and be granted elder status must have something extraordinary.” Another gentle voice chimed in.

The speaker was an elderly man with a kind face, dressed in a simple Taoist robe.

He appeared silently not far away and nodded slightly to Zhang Xuan.

The old man's aura was restrained, making him seem like an ordinary person. However, Zhang Xuan's Heavenly Pivot Eyes could vaguely see the Yin-Yang Taiji phantom flowing behind him, which was extremely mysterious. He was also an unfathomable Mahayana cultivator.

Master Wanbao introduced them to Zhang Xuan with a smile: "These two are also elders of my Wanxiang Merchant Alliance. This is Binglan Xuanzi, and this is Xuankong Daojun."

Zhang Xuan bowed respectfully and said, "This junior is Zhang Xuan, a newly promoted guest elder. I have met Senior Binglan and Daoist Xuankong. My cultivation is meager, but I am honored by Senior Wanbao's kindness. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

“Zhang Xuan? I’ve never heard of him.” Fairy Binglan raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes. “But it’s fate that we’ve come this far. There will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future.”

Xuan Kong Daojun also bowed respectfully and said, "Elder Zhang, if you have any questions since you are new here, you may come to Liangyi Pavilion to find me. Although the business alliance is mainly based on transactions, it is common for colleagues to share what they have with each other."

Zhang Xuan thanked them again and took his leave of Fairy Binglan and Daoist Xuankong.

Continuing under the guidance of Master Wanbao, we strolled through this core divine city, familiarizing ourselves with the environment.

He saw the Hall of Myriad Manifestations, which was specifically used for issuing and accepting cross-divine realm missions; the Tower of Myriad Laws, which stored a vast amount of cultivation manuals and records of experiences; and the Ascension Platform, which could connect to various divine realms and ancient secret realms...

The more he learned about it, the more he felt the grandeur of the Wanxiang Business Alliance.

“The Dragon Spine Palace in the Divine City has been vacant for a long time, and there is no suitable representative. Since Fellow Daoist Zhang comes from the Dragon Spine Divine Realm, let him stay in the Dragon Spine Palace for the time being.” Master Wanbao pointed forward.

There stood a palace, its back like the spine of a dragon, its scales menacing, radiating a terrifying aura of flesh and blood, and a powerful Daoist charm. The plaque above the gate was inscribed with the three characters "Dragon Spine Palace" in a flamboyant and elegant style!

Upon entering the Dragon Spine Palace, the rich spiritual energy of the sixth-grade superior spiritual vein and the various arrangements made Zhang Xuan admire the grand scale of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance.

It's quite remarkable that a guest elder could be placed in such a good place.

"I'll go and find out some information. In a few days, I'll send you the news about consigning the Dao Source Treasure through the Starry Sky Token. I won't bother you any longer," Master Wanbao said with a slight bow.

"Take care, senior," Zhang Xuan said respectfully.

a few days later.

As expected, Master Wanbao sent him a message via the Starry Sky Token.

Three hundred years later, one of the Dao Origin Treasures consigned at the Myriad Realms Auction was from the Boundless Divine Realm, one of the Nine Divine Realms!

However, Master Wanbao reminded him that the Boundless Divine Realm is currently the one most affected by the Ancient Calamity among the nine divine realms, and its situation is extremely dangerous.

“Boundless Divine Realm…” Zhang Xuan repeated in a low voice, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Now that he has learned the news, he is determined to go and make the trip.

For ordinary major repairs, traversing between realms requires using ancient teleportation arrays or navigating a starship through relatively safe realm routes, often taking decades.

Moreover, this only involves traveling to a divine realm adjacent to one's own.

If one's own divine realm is separated from one's own by several major realms, traversing the boundary between divine realms will take even longer.

However, Zhang Xuan didn't need to go through such trouble.

The thoroughfare of all realms can connect to the nine divine domains.

His guest elder Star Dome Token allows him to use merit points to travel through the nine divine realms.

When he joined the Wanxiang Business Alliance, he was given one million merit points.

These merit points can be exchanged for many rare and precious materials within the Wanxiang Business Alliance.

If you use merit points to travel through the Divine Realm, it will cost 500,000 merit points for one round trip.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xuan used the merit points from the Starry Sky Token and, using the Ascension Platform of the Floating Divine City, traveled along the spatial threads towards the Boundless Divine Realm.

"Tsk-!"

A deafening roar, like tearing silk, exploded!

A massive spatial rift spanning tens of thousands of miles was forcibly torn apart!

At the edge of the crack, chaotic air currents churned, and earth, water, fire, and wind raged.

Through the crack, one can sense a completely different kind of law fluctuation.

This is the Boundless Divine Realm!

Zhang Xuan took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the violent spatial rift.

"Boom!"

As soon as they entered the boundary passage, terrifying pressure pressed in from all directions.

Countless fragments of space, like sharp blades, carrying the chaotic currents of laws from different realms, frantically slashed at Zhang Xuan's protective divine light.

In just a few breaths, a clear dimensional gravitational pull finally came from ahead.

"arrive!"

Zhang Xuan stepped out of the raging dimensional turbulence and landed on a dark red floating continent.

Almost the instant it landed, a sense of annihilation enveloped it from all directions.

"Is this... the Boundless Divine Realm?" Zhang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately shut off the omnipresent destructive and corrosive forces from the outside world.

Looking up, the sky of the Boundless Divine Realm was not pure darkness or light, but a constantly distorted and changing mix of dim yellow and dark red.

Huge spatial rifts, like unhealable scars, stretched across the sky.

Occasionally, a viscous, dark red aura of calamity, imbued with an aura of destruction, dripped from it, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

The spiritual energy in the air was pitifully thin and full of inertia and impurities, while the pervasive aura of the Great Calamity was even more intense.

Zhang Xuan tried to sense the laws of heaven and earth, but found that the laws here operated in a sluggish manner.

He applied the fundamental principles of cause and effect, and most of the causal threads that appeared before him were broken, as if they had been torn apart by brute force, without cause or effect, floating in the void.

Only a few causes and effects related to the Great Calamity itself are barely maintained in a distorted and grotesque way.

This is the Boundless Divine Realm, which is still suffering from the onslaught of the Ancient Calamity!

It was more real and more terrifying than what he had heard from You Wuyai, or what he had seen in any book.

Here, it is not only the living environment that is harsh, but also the decay and collapse of the very foundation of the Great Dao.

He dared not recklessly unleash his divine sense, so he quietly activated his Heavenly Pivot Eye, scanning his surroundings.

As far as the eye could see, the earth was cracked, and black winds of annihilation permeated the abandoned floating continents.

He even saw an area where time flowed abnormally, and a dilapidated palace ruin decayed rapidly before his eyes, completing a journey of millions of years in the blink of an eye, turning into ashes. But the next moment, the ashes flowed backward and reformed, returning to the instant before the collapse.

The cycle repeats endlessly, depicting the eeriness and terror that follows the collapse of the laws of time.

That was the lingering effect of the collapse of spacetime, a desolate place that could disrupt even the past, present, and future.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart and a trace of instinctive discomfort.

He knew that any cultivator who could cultivate and survive in such an environment was an extraordinary individual, and their cultivation system and needs must be very different from those of the outside world.
