Chapter 664: The Primal Ten Treasures, the Axe of Opening Heaven

The three Honored Beings of myriad beings blocked the Divine Court, giving Yun Ye and Zixue Xin ample transmission time.

The Sealing the Gods World was entirely the Divine Court’s domain, with no outsiders allowed; the Five True Immortals did not belong to Zixue but had seized this area of the Sealing the Gods Universe, making it a waypoint for Zixue’s journey to the Hongmeng Purple Energy Realm.

Even the Five True Immortals themselves came from various forces, with the Martial Honored Being not affiliated with any organization, appearing to take a neutral stance.

Of course, no one believed this. It didn’t really matter which force the Extreme Fighting Martial Honored Being belonged to; no one felt the need to probe.

In contrast to the Five True Immortals, who were already in this world, the three Honored Beings of myriad beings had suddenly descended from outer heavens, marking them as invaders.

This puzzled Zixue Xin; the barriers of higher worlds were much harder to breach than those of the realm of gods and demons. How could the Honored Beings of myriad beings have arrived so easily?

Was it intentional?

"It was indeed intentional. There are various Primal Treasures here, the ultimate powers left from the opening of this universe. Acquiring even one in this world allows one to stand equally with Sages; if all ten are gathered, we can recreate the cosmic Divine Artifact that divided chaos at the beginning of creation.”

Yun Ye’s Qing Kong eyes reflected the world, already seeing this future.

At this stage, the ancient and modern Future Spirit Law couldn’t see far, but with the enhancement of the Countless Dao Classics, it was a different story; this was a Reverse Liberation entity.

By using the Countless Dao Classics to enhance the Spirit Law, even Zixue’s council members could not detect themselves being observed, easily being taken away by the Dao Artifact wielder.

At this moment, those eyes again glimpsed the future, allowing things to settle.

“The creation artifact, the Axe of Opening Heaven, is said to have these ten Primal Treasures stored separately, and it should not have fallen into the hands of the Martial Honored Being and the other four. Among them, two are even stored within the Divine Army of the Celestial Empire. Why would the Divine Court spare no expense to gain such dominance in a higher world?"

Zixue Xin frowned, well aware of the renowned Axe of Opening Heaven.

This artifact could reopen worlds with a single strike in the universe, holding a status comparable to the Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact of the Red Heaven realm and the New Heaven Sacred Artifact.

If it weren’t for the Primal Treasures that composed the creation artifact being scattered among different people and not concentrated in the hands of the Three Great Sages—having lost one from the start—perhaps it would require the efforts of top-tier Honored Beings to suppress the Sealing the Gods World.

Yet this so-called creation artifact could ultimately only be used in the Sealing the Gods World; outside it, the Open Heaven Laws it contained would rapidly weaken.

Not every world could match the Red Heaven realm in obtaining the true possibility of creating a world; in most worlds, the so-called Opening Heaven Rules emerged only after the world had been created, cultivated from its internal regulations, with the power of this Axe of Opening Heaven being the true Power of Opening Heaven.

Such treasures are like Yin Seng’s spatial authority—edible yet tasteless, unfortunate to discard—it’s utterly incomprehensible why the Divine Court would gather these, laying down a deadly formation in the Sealing the Gods World. Is it possible they can foresee the future and anticipated this day?

“Is there a possibility that the wealth of the Divine Court has become so abundant that they have no use for it, leading them to increase their own foundation as much as possible?”

Yun Ye proposed an answer.

“If we calculate, I think that’s not the case,” Zixue Xin began to contemplate seriously, as if deep in thought. “Even the Red Heaven realm can only nourish one Master of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven to ascend to the Royal Path. The resources consumed are immense! Even with countless resources, they could still be lacking; the Divine Court couldn’t possibly overflow with resources, even if they held hundreds or thousands of universes. Normally, it would appear so.”

“Ha ha.”

Yun Ye laughed; wasn’t that just revealing the reason? Who said wealth must be tangible resources?

Zixue Xin suddenly frowned, looking towards various places in the summer capital. She noticed countless people kneeling, with some emperor-like figures holding grand ceremonies.

“The Supreme Sage exorcises the outer evil; we are willing to offer a great ritual to assist the Sage’s efforts!”

The emperor proclaimed.

Then they bowed in worship, making offerings to heaven and the saints.

“Have the Five True Immortals taken over the Three Great Sects, governing the world on their behalf? So many humans, and they manage to tame them; what are they plotting?”

Zixue Xin’s gaze grew cold.

Although she was just a real person, she did not fear conspiracies and schemes; otherwise, she wouldn’t have accepted the accompanying mission.

Since winning the championship in the Five Academies Tournament, she had ranked on the Tengzhou Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, becoming an unofficial king with her own uniqueness.

Zixue Academy arranged for her to accompany them precisely because she was special, not just for an ordinary escort mission.

“They might also want to test the strength of the Celestial Empire. Most of the Masters of Heaven’s Cavern are on the side of the Celestial Empire, not everyone is like the Third Seat or the Eighth Seat. They also want to know how much power the Celestial Empire has accumulated over the years,” Yun Ye said.

“They?” Zixue Xin paused, confused about how this did not concern him.

“Look, the Axe of Opening Heaven has arrived. This ceremony is probably somewhat related to the Axe of Opening Heaven,” Yun Ye suddenly remarked.

Zixue Xin immediately looked up and, visible to the naked eye, saw ten phantom figures flashing across the horizon—pearls, swords, banners, maps, tripods, zithers, lotuses, and other Primal Treasures.

The emergence of the Primal Treasures did not immediately reverse the situation, but it did halt the Five True Immortals’ rapid retreat.

“After all, he was the invincible Major Achievement Honored Being from three thousand years ago; he is truly powerful. Without these Primal Treasures, even with the home advantage, he could not defeat them,” the Extreme Fighting Martial Honored Being sighed. The various formations arranged throughout the Sealing the Gods World finally collapsed, returning to dust, as the ten Primal Treasures took over.

“The ten Primal Treasures, how tedious you find it to gather them all together. How long have you prepared for this, merely to expose yourselves while attempting to assassinate Qing Liu Sheng…” Honored Being of myriad beings slightly furrowed his brow.

He had been an Honored Being for three thousand years, strengthening himself daily without ever sleeping, so he was naturally unafraid of the ten Primal Treasures.

However, with the ten treasures combined to form the Axe of Opening Heaven, now in the hands of a Honored Being from the Red Heaven, things became troublesome. Not to mention whether they could win in battle, even escaping would be significantly more difficult, risking leaving someone behind and causing a loss of a Honored Position for myriad beings.

He found it completely baffling; even if Qing Liu Sheng came from celestial clans, what of it? If any member of the celestial clans could interfere with the situation in Red Heaven, it would have been overturned countless times over the millennia. Why was this one instance so intense?

Moreover, the orders from the celestial clans were quite clear: use Qing Liu Sheng to divert attention and then slay these Honored Beings, even if it exposed Qing Liu Sheng’s origins from the celestial clans.

Wasn’t that strange? The actions of both sides were difficult to comprehend.

“The ten Primal Treasures—”

“Merge!”

The Five True Immortals unleashed their immense power, a vast amount of True Essence shooting into the sky and connecting with the ten Primal Treasures, which gradually drew closer together.

In the end, a simple divine axe enveloped in chaotic energy appeared in the hands of the Extreme Fighting Martial Honored Being. Just holding it made him feel an overwhelming sense of power, as if the entire world had decomposed into a fragile veil, and with a mere swing, he could reopen the world.

This was not entirely an illusion; the Axe of Opening Heaven indeed possessed the great power to open heaven. However, if the wielder was not strong enough, they could not fully cleave apart the universe.

“That group of Sages is limited by the world’s tier; regardless of how hard they try, they cannot split the world or Reforge Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire like I can…”

“I can!”

The Extreme Fighting Martial Honored Being infused the concept of martial prowess into the Axe of Opening Heaven. With one powerful strike, chaos enveloped the Sealing the Gods World, and countless humans were swept away, perishing instantly.

Merging the ten Primal Treasures should not be that simple by rights.

In the past, when facing calamities, the Three Great Sages required multiple procedures to achieve a merger, and they could only maintain it for a very short time before separating again. For long ages, they couldn’t mobilize again.

However, such issues were not a problem for the Divine Court; they mastered unique techniques that blurred these rules. The Axe of Opening Heaven at this moment was stronger than ever before!

The Three Honored Beings of the Wanling Group stepped back, each channeling the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth to protect Yun Ye and Zixue Xin.

However, their strength rapidly diminished, and even the three Honored Beings were surprised; they likely couldn’t hold out much longer against such an onslaught.

“This is not good. Although the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth is limited to the Sealing the Gods World, the situation here has become utterly chaotic. We can’t break out for now.”

“Qing Liu Sheng, you should leave on your own.”

Honored Being of myriad beings spoke, turning away from Yun Ye.

Qing Liu Sheng was a significant figure, adorned with Primal Treasures. They should not be able to stop him, and if necessary, the three Honored Beings could break through at one point to help him escape. He was someone they could not afford to offend.

(Sacrificing five Honored Beings should provide enough clues about the Divine Court. Along with the existing information, one could say they had severed an arm of the Divine Court.)

Yun Ye did not respond to Honored Being of myriad beings but instead had a sudden thought.

The multiverse was too vast; to glimpse it, he could only enhance his powers through limitless Spirit Laws and amplify his strength exponentially. However, he was merely in the spiritual realm and lacked the Conceptual Body with an Honored Position, which would allow for limitless enhancement. He couldn’t process such immense data due to fundamental limitations.

King Yu’s memories came from forcibly erasing the shackles of Spirit Law by glimpsing into the future, revealing the entire picture.

But this was no longer feasible for the past.

Since receiving the assassination order, King Yu had his tracks covered by countless interwoven forces, likely originating from beings at the Master of Heaven’s Cavern level. They were too powerful, making it difficult for Yun Ye to trace. It was not comparable to examining Zixue Xin’s recent actions.

Furthermore, the mass of King Yu was far less than that of an Honored Position, and his traces caused too little interference in the multiverse to establish a clear anchor point.

If it were the five Honored Positions, it would be different. Just their presence would exert pressure on a single universe level, leaving very clear traces. Even when concealed, tracing would be much easier than with King Yu, and they might become a breakthrough point.

“Qing Liu Sheng, you must leave!”

Honored Being of myriad beings spoke again, sounding somewhat impatient.

“It’s fine; it’s just for show. One of their ten Primal Treasures is fake. Follow my command and strike together; they won’t leave here today.”

Yun Ye said lightly.

“Command us Honored Beings??”

The three Honored Beings initially felt it was absurd. Even if he came from celestial clans, he greatly underestimated them. Was this a battlefield where a being in the spiritual realm could interfere?

However, as Yun Ye stepped forward, they abandoned this thought and silently bowed their heads in obedience.

As Yun Ye advanced, numerous chains appeared around him, breaking one after another. With each shackle shattering, his strength surged. Before anyone noticed, the four ribbons representing the Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire emerged from his robe, wrapping around his arms and legs, unleashing the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth.

The chaos of the entire world began to settle, automatically transforming into pure energy in front of Yun Ye, while turbid energy sank. In that moment, the worlds opened.

The five Honored Beings were astonished; this phenomenon, this level of control, was unheard of!

A being in the spiritual realm mastering the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, surpassing the five-element body—this was likely the strongest Daoist in celestial clan history, a being of innate talent!
