He continued to feel downwards.
Within the folds of the seventh layer of space, he glimpsed a fragmented message.
The information is so ancient that the laws governing it are nearly lost.
He could barely understand some words—not words, but the remnants of a desire more primal than a written character, a person, or another creature.
An obsession left over from a very distant past.
“Dao Palace Chaos”
“The eighteenth Heaven”
“DestroyedEmptinessAscension”
The rest of the will ends here.
The content that follows then disappears into the endless flow of time and can no longer be understood.
Qingqiu’s consciousness was pushed out of the black stone by a gentle but irresistible force. He opened his eyes, and an extremely complicated expression flashed across his amber eyes.
“Your Honour?” Gui Yuanzi asked.
He noticed the subtle changes in Qingqiu’s expression and knew that this black stone was no ordinary object.
Qingqiu put the black stone back into the wooden box and was silent for a long time.
The side passage was so quiet that only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind could be heard outside the window.
David looked at him without saying anything, just waiting.
“This is not something from the sixteenth heaven, nor is it something from the seventeenth heaven.”
Qingqiu finally spoke, his voice several decibels lower than usual, “It fell from the upper world.”
“On?” Gui Yuanzi was shocked. “Your Majesty means the eighteenth heaven?”
Qingqiu nodded.
The moment that name was spoken, the atmosphere in the entire side hall changed.
Eighteenth Heaven was a legendary place, a world that even a third-rank Gold Immortal from Qingqiu could only look up to.
It is said that the laws of heaven and earth in the eighteenth heaven are very different. The spiritual energy there was the primordial energy of the beginning of chaos, and the cultivators there were born as immortals.
“I sense some remnants of will within this black stone.”
Qingqiu spoke slowly, carefully choosing each word, “One of them mentioned the ‘Chaos Dao Palace,’ and the others mentioned ‘shattering the void’ and ‘rising to the peak.’”
This emperor suspects that this black stone might be a relic from a mighty ancient being, or a key to another place. However, there was no doubt that this stone came from Eighteenth Heaven.
Gui Yuanzi gasped, “Something from the 18th Heaven how could it be in the treasury of the 16th Heaven God Alliance?”
“The Divine Alliance has ruled the Sixteen Heavens for tens of thousands of years, during which time they have exterminated countless sects and plundered countless treasures. It is not surprising that some of these items come from the Upper Realm.”
While speaking, Qingqiu pushed the wooden box back to David. “Perhaps you don’t know, but there is an ancient lineage in the Eighteen Heavens called the Chaos Dao Palace. This lineage is extremely mysterious and rarely travels the world, but every time it appears, it is always accompanied by great upheavals in the heavens and the earth.”
If this black stone is truly related to the Chaos Dao Palace, then the secrets contained within are likely far beyond our imagination.
David took the black stone and held it in his palm.
The Palace of Chaos, the eighteen heavens, and the chaotic forces that have guided me to this day.
These clues were like tattered spider webs, which he held in his hands.
The power of chaos is the most ancient power in the world, and the name of the Chaos Dao Palace also contains the word “chaos”.
He didn’t believe it was just a coincidence.
Moreover, judging from its name, the Chaos Dao Palace seemed to be a Daoist sect.
The Great Luo Golden Scripture in my own sea of consciousness is the essence of ancient Daoist teachings.
Now that Chaos and Daoism collide again, was all this destined by me?
The black stone felt slightly warm in his palm.
The chaotic power within him began to operate automatically, creating a strange resonance with the black stone.
The resonance was very weak, so weak that it was barely felt, but it was there.
Purple spiritual energy overflowed from his palm, enveloping the black stone. On the smooth-looking surface of the black rock, several hair-thin lines could be faintly visible.
The patterns flashed so quickly that they seemed like an illusion.
But David saw it.
Qingqiu saw it too.
“Really.”
A meaningful glint appeared in the fox’s eyes. “My guess is correct. This black stone can only be activated by the power of chaos. This is not an ordinary token, but a guide left by the Chaos Dao Palace for inheritors of the power of chaos.”
“Guidance?” David asked. “Guidance about what?”
“This will lead you to the eighteenth heaven.”
Qingqiu looked at him and said, word by word, “The Palace of Chaos is on Eighteenth Heaven. The Power of Chaos in you probably comes from that bloodline.”
This black stone is the key, but which door it opens, and how it opens, I don’t know. These answers will probably only be revealed on the day you truly step into Eighteenth Heaven.
Gui Yuanzi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.
The Eighteenth Heaven was a place that even a Third Stage Gold Immortal might not be able to set foot in.
Although the young master was extremely talented, the difficulty of ascending from the seventeenth heaven to the eighteenth heaven was no less than the difficulty of achieving immortality from an ordinary mortal.
But then he thought again, “Young master has come a long way from a weak soul to where he is now. Every step on that journey was full of difficulties and dangers.”
For the young master, the journey from the sixteenth heaven to the seventeenth heaven, and from the seventeenth heaven to the eighteenth heaven, is just the next step to take.
David put the black stone back into his storage ring, his purple eyes showing a hint of emotion. “We’ll talk about the Eighteenth Heaven later. Now, let’s face the Heavenly Venerate.”
His voice was calm, but everyone could hear the certainty behind that calm.
This was not arrogance, nor arrogance, but a calmness forged through countless battles.
He didn’t say “block” or “refuse,” but “resolve.” In his eyes, the Heavenly Venerate was already dead.
