Calamity of Tomorrow

Liu He True Monarch curiously observed the passage within the mountain wall: "There seem to be traces of Luotian Dao Skill here."

Beidou Heavenly Monarch looked at the space ahead with a hint of contemplation and said warmly, "When the Zuo Family treasury was established, several immortal deities assisted in using the Luotian Dao Skill to alter the space structure, dividing the entire treasury into three layers of different spaces, so none of the layers can be opened by force."

Deng True Monarch asked curiously, "What exactly is inside this Zuo Family treasury? Why would it require the assistance of immortal deities to help build it together?"

Deng True Monarch had been extremely curious about this for a long time, especially since the items within the Zuo Family treasury were desired even by Heavenly Monarch. This further piqued his curiosity.

And now that they had all entered the treasury, he tentatively voiced his questions.

Beidou Heavenly Monarch's lips slightly curved: "Do you know about Qing Yun?"

Deng True Monarch nodded: "He's the founder of the Three Pure Dao Sect, right? It's said he was the first cultivator in history to sense the presence of the void."

Beidou Heavenly Monarch: "Within the Zuo Family treasury lies the remains of Qing Yun."

Deng True Monarch was shocked: 'The remains of Qing Yun are actually here? Heavenly Monarch even knows this? He seems so familiar with the Chu Ruins... Could it be that he was the immortal deity who helped reconstruct the Zuo Family treasury in the past?'

Seeing the change in expression on the faces of the three, Beidou Heavenly Monarch smiled slightly, "Let's go and see what Zuo Dao and Zhou Bai are up to."

As he spoke, with a thought from Beidou Heavenly Monarch, everyone felt a surge of Primordial Spirit power envelop them, and ripples began to flicker around their bodies.

Deng True Monarch thought to himself: 'It's Heavenly Monarch's Star Shifting. Heavenly Monarch's cultivation has indeed reached 150%, able to use Dao techniques to draw others into the Luotian Realm.'

Not daring to resist in any way, they let the Primordial Spirit power envelop them, and the next moment saw the four of them transform into four streams of starlight, vanishing without a trace, unable to sense any presence.

...

Zhou Bai followed Zuo Dao all the way forward, walking approximately several kilometers when they encountered the first gate.

Zuo Dao explained: "The spatial structure within the treasury is different from the outside world, divided into three layers of space corresponding to the three layers of the treasury. Each treasury gate requires the descendants of the Zuo Family to open it."

Then Zuo Dao flicked his thumb, and a drop of fresh blood shot toward the gate ahead, instantly merging into the door.

As his Zuo Family bloodline was verified, lines of red text appeared on the gate.

Zuo Dao continued, "This is a prohibition modified based on the Immortal Ascension Book. After bloodline verification, the Dao text revealed above requires a 90% Dao transformation level to be fully read before the door can be opened."

Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'This Zuo Family treasury, built with the help of immortal deities and referencing prohibitions from the Immortal Ascension Book, suggests that the past Zuo Family had very close ties with the Celestial Court.'

As Zuo Dao's voice chanted, the bloody characters on the door lit up, and eventually, all ninety blood words shone brightly, causing the entire door to begin slowly melting.

Zuo Dao witnessed this, his spirit stirred, feeling both excited and tense, he said, "The first layer of the treasury is opened..."

Zhou Bai and Zuo Dao entered, discovering a small world of green mountains and clear waters behind the door, as if they had stepped into another realm.

Zuo Dao exclaimed, "Each of the three layers of the treasury is a small world independent of the Material World. Unless the doors are opened in sequence, no one can enter."

The two walked along the path ahead, witnessing an array of giant warehouses along the way.

Zuo Dao lamented, "These were once filled with all kinds of precious materials collected by the Zuo Family. However, I heard that to combat the Heavenly Demons, the materials in these warehouses had long been emptied, and mostly are just empty rooms."

The two reached the end of the path and saw a black gate standing on the ground. As Zuo Dao finished the bleeding and chanting, the black gate gradually melted, revealing a black void, akin to a rift in space.

Zhou Bai followed Zuo Dao in, walking into a lush forest where numerous medicinal plants and spiritual beasts were cultivated, like a hidden paradise, self-sustaining, left by Zuo Family ancestors as a treasure for future generations. It could serve as both a refuge and resources for resurgence.

The two proceeded to the deepest part of the forest, encountering another black gate. Again, Zuo Dao opened the gate as before, revealing a purely blue space before them.

The entire space was enveloped in blue smoke clouds from all directions, yet Zhou Bai found the surface beneath his feet incredibly solid, unshakable even with all his might.

Zhou Bai thought: 'Is this the boundary of this space? Perhaps only by manipulating time-space powers can it be broken.'

Looking at the pure blue space, Zuo Dao sighed, "The final layer of the treasury, I have no idea what's stored here. Perhaps what you're looking for is inside."

The blue space was devoid of anything except a massive stone coffin placed at the center.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao and Zhou Bai exchanged glances.

Zhou Bai: "The final layer of the treasury, is it burying your Zuo Family ancestors?"

Zuo Dao shook his head: "I don't know, I've never heard of anyone being buried in the treasury."

Zhou Bai: "Should we take a look? It might be clearer then." He scrutinized the barren stone coffin, contemplating, 'I haven't seen the Primordial Dao Repository anywhere along the way, could Primordial Dao Repository 08 be inside this coffin?'

But just as the two were about to approach the stone coffin, four presences suddenly appeared not far in front of them.

It was as if they materialized out of nowhere, startling Zhou Bai and Zuo Dao.

The two turned sharply, seeing Beidou Heavenly Monarch, Deng True Monarch, Liu He True Monarch, and the visibly displeased Zuo Lu.

"Immortal deities? And Zuo Lu?" Zhou Bai's gaze focused intently; he hadn't comprehended how they ended up following him into the Zuo Family treasury.

Beidou Heavenly Monarch didn't even glance at Zhou Bai and merely nodded toward Zuo Dao: "I didn't expect you to reach the ninth realm in such a short time? That saves me a lot of trouble."

With that, Beidou Heavenly Monarch had already walked to the stone coffin, gazing at it with admiration: "Finally found it..."

His Primordial Spirit power enveloped the stone coffin, intending to deploy Star Shifting to absorb it into the Luotian Realm. It seemed he disregarded Zuo Dao and Zhou Bai.

Watching this unfold, Zhou Bai, unsure of Heavenly Monarch's intentions, couldn't allow the treasury's contents to be handed over so easily, especially if his Primordial Dao Repository 08 was inside.

'This is crucial to saving the world and must not fall into the hands of immortal deities.'

Suddenly, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit power erupted fiercely from him, catching Beidou Heavenly Monarch's attention. He saw Zhou Bai wielding the Human Emperor's Sword, striding towards him.

Meanwhile, a long whistle erupted within the blue space.

"Down from heaven flows the waterfall three thousand feet, like the Silver River descending from the Nine Heavens."

In the next moment, an overwhelming, unimaginably powerful stream of Sword Qi descended upon Beidou Heavenly Monarch like the Nine Heavens Galaxy.
