The massive stone gate to the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury finally cracked open from top to bottom in the center.
The slit is getting bigger and bigger.
Countless golden rays burst forth from within, dazzlingly bright and impossible to look directly at.
"The stone gate has finally opened."
Three-Tails said excitedly.
Boom...
With Li Yao's final strike, the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, sealed for countless years, was finally fully opened.
Just as Li Yao opened the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, a spectacular celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from the enormous, towering tree, shooting straight into the sky.
At the same time, all the highly skilled cultivators in the world sensed this strange phenomenon and turned their attention to the Death Swamp located in the southwest of the Divine Continent.
In the Yuqing Hall on Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain.
Sect Leader Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, Master Shuiyue and other heads of various branches of Qingyun Sect, as well as the divine monks Puhong and Pukong of Tianyin Temple, and Yun Yilan of Fenxiang Valley.
The high-ranking figures of these three major sects gathered in the Jade Purity Hall, discussing how to deal with the rampaging Beast God, when they suddenly sensed a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth, and stood up in unison, looking towards the southwest.
"A strange celestial phenomenon has appeared in the southwest!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on the other people's faces, Dao Xuan knew that they had all sensed the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.
"Such an astonishing celestial phenomenon likely foreshadows the appearance of a rare treasure!"
Tian Buyi said with a solemn expression.
"Unfortunately, the Beast God is now rampaging everywhere, wreaking havoc on the Central Plains, and even if a rare treasure appears in the world, there is no time to go and search for it."
Yun Yilan shook her head in disappointment.
His words expressed the sentiments of most people present.
Although they are all highly skilled and possess their own prized magical treasures, they may not be particularly interested in rare or exotic items.
However, this is a good opportunity for their disciples to go out and gain experience.
However, since the Beast God has led countless beast demons to ravage the Central Plains, their most urgent task now is to find a way to get rid of this scourge.
In a forest somewhere in the Central Plains.
A young boy dressed in brightly colored silk clothes looked very hesitant.
Beside him was a monster, its appearance ferocious and terrifying.
The boy suddenly turned his gaze to the southwest, muttering to himself, "Has a rare treasure appeared in the world?"
This young man was none other than the Beast God who caused a great catastrophe in the Central Plains.
The monster beside him was Taotie, one of the four spirit beasts needed for the Four Spirit Blood Array.
However, he didn't seem very interested in the appearance of any rare treasures. He only glanced at the southwest direction before looking away.
In the desolate northwest, within the holy temple of the Demonic Cult.
"When unusual phenomena occur in the sky, treasures are sure to appear."
A middle-aged scholar, pale yet extremely dignified, gazed towards the southwest Death Swamp, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
This person was none other than the Ghost King who had fled in panic from the Qingyun Sect.
Thanks to Mr. Ghost and Qinglong's delaying tactics, the Ghost King, along with his daughter Biyao and the Vermilion Bird Saint Envoy Youji, managed to escape.
Later, he returned to Fox Ridge Mountain, gathered the Ghost King Sect disciples guarding the area, and launched surprise attacks on the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Joyful Union Sect, completely annihilating them.
Subsequently, he led his disciples to the Demonic Sect's Holy Temple, and taking advantage of the Longevity Hall's unpreparedness, he annihilated the Longevity Hall in one fell swoop, seized the Holy Temple, unified the Demonic Sect, and became the Demonic Sect's leader.
Although he has achieved the great cause of unifying the demonic sects, the price he paid was far too high.
At this time, the Demonic Sect had already suffered heavy losses, and he worried that the righteous path would take the opportunity to wipe out the Demonic Sect in one fell swoop.
Therefore, he had no choice but to hide in the temple in the desolate northwest, biding his time and secretly strengthening his power.
Now that a rare treasure has suddenly appeared in the southwest Death Swamp, he certainly won't let it go easily.
Moreover, the temple is not far from the Death Swamp.
Therefore, he decided to send the White Tiger Envoy to the Death Swamp to search for treasure.

After the golden light dissipated, Li Yao entered the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
Six-Tailed Fox, Three-Tailed Fox, and Little Fire, along with Little Gray who was already perched on Little Fire's shoulder, all followed them inside.
Because the yellow bird was too large to enter, it remained outside the treasure vault to wait.
After Li Yao and his group entered the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, the stone gate closed automatically with a loud rumble.
"Oh no! The stone gate has closed! We're trapped inside and can't get out!"
The Three-Tailed Beast was startled.
Li Yao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already broken the seal that was blocking the stone gate. The stone gate can be opened easily now."
After hearing this, the Three-Tails nodded in relief.
Suddenly, she exclaimed, "What is that?"
In the darkness, a faint light slowly appeared not far ahead, like a dim candle burning quietly in the night.
The light was initially a light purple, then turned cyan, and then slowly became dark green.
As it went on, it kept changing and flashing with various colors of light, which was quite a sight.
Upon closer inspection, the things in front of my eyes became clearer.
This is a wooden platform standing in the darkness, about half a person's height, with a round wooden pillar about the thickness of an infant's arm extending into the ground, supporting a small platform about a foot in size at the top.
In the middle of the platform, there is a cup with an ancient shape, which looks like it is made of wood. But upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the entire wooden platform and the cup are completely connected together and integrated with the trees on the ground.
However, what's most attractive is what's inside this small wooden cup.
The wooden cup is about three inches tall and two inches wide, with a transparent liquid in the middle. Floating on the liquid in the cup is a small, transparent stone with five flat sides, crystal clear.
The soft light emanates from this stone, forming a semi-circular light curtain on the small wooden platform, refracting various colors of light and radiating outwards.
At this moment, Six-Tailed Fox, Three-Tailed Fox, and Little Fire were all standing beside Li Yao, their eyes fixed on the wooden cup.
A strange fragrance wafted through the air, omnipresent and invigorating to the senses.
Chapter 376 The Heavenly Book, Volume 3
"What's this?"
Having lived for hundreds of years, Liuwei was quite knowledgeable, but even he couldn't tell what the transparent liquid and transparent stone in front of him were.
"This must be the legendary elixir of immortality!"
Li Yao took out a cup from his spatial storage, and with a flick of his wrist, the transparent liquid inside the wooden cup transformed into a crystal-clear column of water, which poured entirely into the empty cup in Li Yao's hand.
He then made a copy of the clear liquid in the cup and placed it in his spatial dimension.
Next, he took out four cups from his spatial storage, divided the transparent liquid in the cups into five equal portions, and gave one portion to each of Six-Tail, Three-Tail, Little Gray, and Little Fire, leaving the last portion for Yellow Bird.
"Sir, what's wrong with you...?"
Sanwei was greatly surprised by Li Yao's action.
Li Yao laughed and said, "Actually, this so-called elixir of immortality should be the essence condensed from this towering divine tree. It contains a vast amount of life energy, which can not only prolong life but also revive the dead and heal the wounded. You will benefit greatly from drinking it."
He knew that although the elixir had great benefits, drinking too much of it wouldn't necessarily increase the effects many times over.
So he kept one cup for himself and distributed the rest to the spirit beasts like Little Fire, using it to win over their hearts.
"But sir, aren't you going to drink?"
Sanwei asked with a puzzled look.
Li Yao waved his hand and casually said, "I have already comprehended the way to immortality, and my cultivation is already profound enough. This elixir of immortality is no longer of much use to me. You guys should drink it."
"Thank you, sir!"
Both the three-tailed and six-tailed creatures were moved.
Immediately, they all drank the clear elixir from their respective cups.
A fragrant liquid filled the air, refreshing and invigorating them, instantly making them feel refreshed.
After drinking the elixir, Little Gray squeaked happily and bounced around on Little Fire's shoulder.
"Sir, what is that thing?"
After drinking the spiritual liquid, Liuwei turned its gaze to the transparent, strange stone.
The strange stone was crystal clear, with a mystical aura swirling within, forming a semi-circular light curtain that refracted various colors of light, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.
"This should be the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone."
Li Yao reached out and touched the light screen on the wooden platform.
The faint light in the darkness flowed gently, changing colors, as if it were telling a story.
The moment Li Yao's hand touched the seven-colored light, as if imbued with the magic of an ancient god, a golden light, far thicker and more dazzling than before, suddenly burst forth from the strange stone, shooting into the sky and shining directly onto the dome of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
Suddenly, a mysterious and distant sound rang out from within the treasure vault, like the mysterious chanting of sacred mountains and the soft whispers of lonely souls from the netherworld.
As a golden beam shot straight up to the dome, the entire Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was illuminated by golden light, exuding holiness.
Under the watchful eyes of Li Yao and his group, one after another, large golden characters appeared in the air above the dome of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, amidst the dazzling golden light:
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs!
After a moment, the nine characters slowly disappeared, but the mysterious chanting sound grew louder and louder.
In an instant, the dazzling golden beam of light suddenly burst forth, shooting into all the spaces of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.
