After leaving the Light Faction's group, Ye Yunfei sped toward the golden, glittering land in the distance.
The soul message left by the Ten Thousand Laws Vine continually indicated the direction for Ye Yunfei's advance.
Along the way, Ye Yunfei saw many treasures, including numerous divine medicines he had never heard of nor seen before, Divine Crystals scattered all over the ground, some high-level natural treasures of immeasurable value, as well as treasures such as magic artifacts and pills stored within some buildings; there were even quite a few cultivation manuals and secret techniques.
Ye Yunfei also saw many small animals—and even human children—who appeared to have taken shape from divine medicines, playfully frolicking amongst the mountain ranges. The scene was lively and bustling.
These small animals and human children all emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, incredibly enticing. Merely smelling these fragrances made one's spirit refreshed, mind exceptionally sharp, sped up the circulation of energy within the body, and even vaguely enhanced one's innate talent!
In short, treasures were scattered all across this world.
Leaving aside everything else, simply picking up a batch of genuine Divine Crystals to take out would make one truly wealthy beyond belief!
Ye Yunfei made attempts several times, wanting to collect the treasures that caught his eye, but he failed every single time.
“Forget it. It seems my current strength isn't sufficient to collect any treasure within this world,” Ye Yunfei felt somewhat helpless. He stopped trying and, following the guidance of the Ten Thousand Laws Vine, swiftly headed in one specific direction.
Ye Yunfei discovered that this golden, glittering continent was extremely vast. With his soul force energy, he actually couldn't perceive its end—meaning, Ye Yunfei didn't know just how big this continent was!
An unknown amount of time passed.
Ye Yunfei saw a towering, cloud-piercing peak suddenly appear ahead. Its shape somewhat resembled a tomb—broad at the base and sharp at the top—appearing utterly immense.
The entire peak radiated intense golden light, looking as if it had been carved from a single enormous block of metal.
“This is indeed a tomb!” Ye Yunfei quickly spotted a tombstone inscribed with a line of large characters. His gaze narrowed as the words slipped out.
Tomb of God Luojiang!
“God Luojiang?
Could this truly be the tomb of a deity?” Ye Yunfei stared at the tombstone and the towering golden peak with astonishment, feeling a secret sense of shock.
At that very moment.
With a *swish*, the soul message from the Ten Thousand Laws Vine within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea actually rushed out of the Soul Sea, shooting toward the golden peak before landing upon a thick, coiled-vine that resembled an ancient dragon.
“There's a Ten Thousand Laws Vine here too!” Ye Yunfei stared at the ancient vine, somewhat shocked.
The aura of this vine before him was identical to that of the Ten Thousand Laws Vine; clearly, it was also a Ten Thousand Laws Vine.
Moreover, the vine before him was even thicker and bulkier, emanating an even more profound and mystical aura!
Besides this Ten Thousand Laws Vine, Ye Yunfei discovered that this enormous golden peak held many other treasures. All kinds of exotic flowers and rare grasses, auspicious birds and divine beasts were everywhere one looked, innumerable, all spewing forth sacred radiance.
Simultaneously, chains of laws materialized one after another, hanging down from the void, densely packed like an opened giant umbrella—utterly divine and wondrous.
Faintly, pleasant melodies could also be heard playing, bringing joy to body and mind, making one forget worldly concerns upon hearing them.
“Young man, it seems you were introduced by my avatar,” Ye Yunfei suddenly received a sound transmission at this moment.
Ye Yunfei's heart gave a jolt. His gaze immediately locked onto the thick Ten Thousand Laws Vine upon the golden peak.
“Senior, was it you speaking to me?” Ye Yunfei inquired cautiously.
“It was me.
Young man, it turns out my avatar owes you a debt of gratitude, so it sent you to find me, for me to grant you a piece of good fortune,” the Ten Thousand Laws Vine's branches and leaves rustled slightly as it replied.
The Ten Thousand Laws Vine before him differed from the one Ye Yunfei had encountered previously. The earlier vine had been in a withered state—essentially a dried-up branch, hanging by a thread with little vitality.
But the vine before him grew quite a few branches and leaves. Its entire body shimmered with golden light, its aura profound, energy majestic, and vitality vigorous.
“Senior, so this is your main body?
What I encountered before was merely your avatar?” Ye Yunfei asked in surprise.
“Yes.
This is indeed my main body.
I am a Ten Thousand Laws Vine personally planted by God Luojiang.
Later, the sect leader of a major power from within this world came to visit God Luojiang, requesting a Ten Thousand Laws Vine.
God Luojiang had some connection with the ancestor of that major power, so he cut off a long vine segment from me and gave it to that sect leader to plant back in their sect. Later, I sensed the existence of that vine segment. It seems that under the cultivation of that major power, it continuously grew and flourished, taking root within their headquarters.
That long vine segment is actually an avatar of mine, a part of me,” the Ten Thousand Laws Vine answered.
“So that's how it is!” Ye Yunfei was utterly astounded. He hadn't expected that the Ten Thousand Laws Vine he encountered last time was merely a long vine segment from the one before him.
“Senior, is God Luojiang truly a deity?” Ye Yunfei asked.
“Yes.
God Luojiang is certainly a deity.
If he weren't a deity, why would I willingly guard this place all this time?” the Ten Thousand Laws Vine answered.
“So deities truly exist in the world!” Ye Yunfei was profoundly shaken.
“How to put this… Actually, what you refer to as ‘gods’ belong to lifeforms of a higher level.
When you cultivate to become a deity in the future, you won't find it anything particularly special.
However, for ordinary beings of this world to cultivate and become deities… it's difficult. Far too difficult! It might even be impossible!
I sense that the difficulty of achieving deity-hood in the present era might be millions upon millions of times greater than in the Ancient Era!” the Ten Thousand Laws Vine replied.
“Senior, this is the tomb of God Luojiang. Does that mean God Luojiang has already perished?
Deities are said to be omnipotent; can they also perish?” Ye Yunfei inquired curiously.
“Who said God Luojiang has perished?
Young man, certain words cannot be spoken carelessly, especially words that defile deities. One must never speak them recklessly.
The magical powers of deities know no bounds. If any being in the world chants their titles or speaks disrespectfully of them, even across layers of time and space, the deities will sense it and may descend calamity as punishment.
Therefore, when you mention God Luojiang, you absolutely must not speak carelessly!” the Ten Thousand Laws Vine immediately cautioned.
*God Luojiang hasn't perished?* Ye Yunfei was taken aback, though he didn't voice the thought.
“God Luojiang's cultivation reached heaven itself. Moreover, he often enters Samsara to travel into different eras and different worlds for experiential cultivation.
This tomb, even this entire world, is merely a place where God Luojiang buried the divine fruit of one of his lifetimes.
He will return to retrieve it in the future,” the Ten Thousand Laws Vine said.
*Burying the divine fruit of one lifetime here?* Hearing the words of the Ten Thousand Laws Vine, Ye Yunfei felt somewhat bewildered, unable to fully comprehend.
