Legend had it that genuine Divine Crystals were resources used by Deities for cultivation. Their grade was naturally terrifyingly high, and the energy they contained was incredibly vast. If an ordinary being could obtain a Divine Crystal, they would have truly struck it rich!
"This world is so quiet!" someone shouted.
Indeed, this world was far too quiet, as if there were no noise, no disturbances of the mortal world—just serene silence.
"Has anyone else noticed something strange? So many of us have entered this world, everyone is talking, yet why does this world still feel so quiet?" someone suddenly called out.
"Yes, why does it remain so quiet even with all of us here?"
Hearing this person's words, those around them grew tense in spirit and began carefully perceiving their surroundings.
"The sound of our voices can't travel very far in this world! It seems some mysterious energy envelops this place, making everything quiet," a Perfected Earth Immortal shouted.
"This world feels somewhat oppressive. Since entering, I've vaguely sensed an energy suppressing this expanse of heaven and earth," another Earth Immortal cried out.
"I suspect this energy belongs to a Deity—their energy or laws. We just need to be careful," someone suggested.
"Hmm? Could this world be the place that Ten Thousand Laws Vine told me to find?" At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly noticed a piece of Soul Power information glowing as it surfaced within his Soul Sea.
Back when Ye Yunfei left the Ten Thousand Laws Vine, the vine had imprinted a strand of Soul Power information into his Soul Sea, guiding him to a certain location.
However, Ye Yunfei had been occupied with other matters and hadn't found the time to search for the place mentioned by the Ten Thousand Laws Vine. Upon entering this world just now, the Soul Power information from the vine in his Soul Sea suddenly began to tremble incessantly, catching his attention.
After reading that information, Ye Yunfei discovered that the location described matched the world right before his eyes!
"So the place the Ten Thousand Laws Vine wanted to guide me to was actually this legendary Divine World!" Ye Yunfei was inwardly astonished.
"Young man, the place I guide you to holds many treasures, but they are all flowers in a mirror, the moon in the water—you can look, but you cannot obtain them. I once resided in that world for a time and am quite familiar with it. I guide you there to take one item of treasure."
These were the words the Ten Thousand Laws Vine had left within this strand of Soul Power information.
"Flowers in a mirror, the moon in the water?" Ye Yunfei felt a bit puzzled.
"We came here to seek treasures! Look at these treasures lying all around—let's make our move!" someone suddenly shouted.
BOOM...
Everyone scattered, charging toward the Divine plants that grew everywhere in the distance, the massive pile of Divine Crystals by the distant lake shore, and the many small animals that seemed like Divine Medicines in transformed shapes, ready to compete for these treasures.
In this world, wherever one looked, it was a glittering expanse of golden light, utterly transparent and bright. Marvelous treasures of every kind were spread everywhere, abundant and seemingly there for the taking!
"Haha… These golden lotuses are supremely Divine, emanating a profound Daoist aura. Could they be the legendary Great Dao Golden Lotuses? These few belong to me!" An Advanced Earth Immortal with particularly formidable movement skills instantly rushed before several golden lotuses and reached out to grab them.
In the next instant, something strange occurred. When the Advanced Earth Immortal's hand touched a golden lotus, it immediately shattered with a light *pop*, transforming into scattered points of golden light that drifted away—a sight that appeared very sacred.
"How could this be?" The Advanced Earth Immortal was taken aback.
"Again!" The Advanced Earth Immortal immediately reached for another golden lotus nearby, but that lotus also instantly shattered, dissolving into specks of golden radiance.
"What's going on?"
The Advanced Earth Immortal grabbed at several golden lotuses in a row, but they all immediately shattered into golden light. He hadn't obtained a single lotus.
Then, something even more bizarre happened. The shattered golden lotuses reappeared, reconstituting themselves into their original forms in less than a single breath.
"Impossible! I refuse to believe I can't grab these lotuses!" The Advanced Earth Immortal, filled with utter unwillingness, reached out to grab the lotuses again, but the result was the same. These seemingly supremely divine golden lotuses were like the moon reflected in water—the moment one touched them, they instantly shattered into specks of golden light and then reconstituted anew.
"What's happening? These medicinal plants seem illusory—they shatter at a touch! They simply can't be harvested!"
"Are these Divine Crystals fake? They shatter instantly upon contact!"
...
It wasn't just this Advanced Earth Immortal. Almost everyone encountered the same scene. Whenever they reached out to touch the treasures of this world, those treasures would instantly shatter into specks of golden light, only to reappear in their original form before their eyes.
Everyone halted their attempts to seize the treasures. It was useless. So far, no one had managed to acquire a single treasure. All the treasures in this world shattered upon contact!
"Let me try!"
A Perfected Earth Immortal rushed to the lakeside and reached for a Divine Crystal.
Clatter, clatter...
White chains of power suddenly manifested on this Perfected Earth Immortal's palm, wrapping around that Divine Crystal.
In the next moment, the Divine Crystal was actually entangled by these chains and lifted.
"That's the power of laws! So one must utilize law power to possibly collect the treasures of this world!" someone exclaimed in sudden realization.
However, the next moment, when the Perfected Earth Immortal's hand touched that Divine Crystal, it directly exploded into specks of golden light.
"Again!" Unwilling to give up, the Perfected Earth Immortal waved a hand. Clattering, chains woven from laws trembled, entangling other nearby Divine Crystals.
One after another, Divine Crystals were lifted by those law chains, slowly moving toward the Perfected Earth Immortal.
Yet, when the Perfected Earth Immortal reached out again to grasp those Divine Crystals, they shattered one after another, dissolving into golden specks.
As the Divine Crystals shattered, the law chains manifested by the Perfected Earth Immortal also exploded directly, unable to sustain themselves.
This outcome caused the Perfected Earth Immortal's expression to shift slightly. He was typically adept in the power of laws, having cultivated to the point where he could manifest tangible chains using that power. Yet now, his law chains had mysteriously shattered.
"It seems that to possibly collect the treasures in this world, one truly must utilize the power of laws!"
Even though this Perfected Earth Immortal failed, everyone saw clearly: when those law chains touched the Divine Crystals, the crystals hadn't shattered.
"Elder Xue, shall we try?" A Light Faction Advanced Earth Immortal asked Elder Xue.
"Wait and watch for now. Given this situation, trying likely won't yield results," Elder Xue replied.
"With your level of power, you cannot take the treasures of this world. This is a world left behind by a Deity, not something you ordinary beings can lay claim to. Be sensible and withdraw. Remaining here is pointless for you."
At that moment, a being shrouded in dense black mist materialized by the lake and spoke coldly.
