Chapter 601: Great Dao Treasure Pearl

"Why does the Great Venerable say this? Is this not merely a standard exchange of benefits? Furthermore, as the Great Venerable is now the sole Great Guest Elder of our Multiverse Alliance, would it not be inappropriate to do nothing?"

The Third Elder said, probing cautiously.

His heart was truly weary. He felt as if he were walking on thin ice, a sensation he had not experienced in a long time; he had not expected to feel it again today.

"What would happen if I refused?"

Li Heng asked.

"Then I must ask the Great Venerable to forgive the Multiverse Alliance for not agreeing. The origin of the Great Dao Ark is truly too precious to be given away for nothing. I ask the Great Venerable to understand."

"I see." Li Heng nodded, appearing thoughtful.

The Third Elder muttered to himself. He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that this Great Venerable wanted to stir up trouble, and at the same time, his words were goading him to stir up trouble, as if he feared the world would not be in chaos. Could it be that this Great Venerable had not yet abandoned the idea of being an enemy of the Multiverse Alliance? He felt somewhat puzzled; why was this?

However, no matter what, as long as he did not turn hostile first, then this Great Venerable would find no excuse to turn hostile.

"You said there are many evil things and Forbidden Objects in that Abyss Sea, right?" Li Heng asked casually.

The Third Elder nodded.

"That is correct. It is not only a gathering place for evil things and Forbidden Objects, but it is also filled with Inauspiciousness and Terror. Many speculate that in the Remote, untraceable times before the Calamity monsters appeared, perhaps the Abyss Sea and the Abyss hidden within it were the source of all negativity and all destruction."

"It is just a pity that after the Calamity and the monsters appeared, the Abyss Sea became insignificant by comparison. Although the evil things and Forbidden Objects within can still run rampant in the Great Void, they are just as powerless to resist the Calamity and the monsters as we are."

Li Heng nodded; he understood this.

If the Dao is divided into positive and negative, then the Abyss Sea and the Abyss hidden within it are one of the negative sides of the Dao, or perhaps the negative side itself, without exception, and its status is extremely high.

But the Calamity and the monsters come from outside the Dao.

"But since this Abyss Sea is so powerful, you actually want me to destroy it? Do you truly believe that such a thing, being the negative side of the Dao, can be solved by a single Great Venerable?"

Li Heng said with a smile.

The Third Elder thought to himself that this was bad; was he trying to make an exorbitant demand again?

The previous matter had not even been completed yet.

"Great Venerable, now that the Calamity monsters have appeared in the Present World, whether it is the positive or negative side of the Dao, it no longer holds much significance. Moreover, over countless ages, the Abyss Sea has also weakened significantly..."

"And we only wish to entrust you with retrieving the Great Dao Treasure Pearl. As for destroying the Abyss Sea, that depends on you; if it cannot be done, or if you do not wish to do it, that is also fine."

The Third Elder explained this, but still felt it was not secure.

"How about this, Great Venerable, you can command the Multiverse Alliance's army to campaign in the Abyss Sea, how about that?" He wanted to try his best to erase the impression of Li Heng being a hired thug for the Multiverse Alliance.

If the army is given to you to command, you cannot still be a thug, right?

If you still stir up trouble after this, that would be too unreasonable.

"Oh? And who can this army commander mobilize?"

"Below the rank of Elder, they are at the Great Venerable's disposal."

The Third Elder replied.

"I see. Then what does the Great Dao Treasure Pearl you want look like, and what is its aura like?"

Li Heng asked. The Third Elder felt a surge of joy in his heart, immediately realizing there was a chance, and hurriedly manifested the information regarding the Great Dao Treasure Pearl, perfectly simulating both its image and its aura.

A spirit pearl flashed, the Dao rhyme permeating the Void, light overflowing from within and scattering in all directions; even though it was only a phantom image, it derived infinite worldviews in the surroundings.

"Great Venerable, this is the Great Dao Treasure Pearl."

Li Heng nodded.

No wonder it is said that the Great Dao Treasure Pearl has been extremely rare and precious throughout countless eras. It turns out its essence is the source of the Dao, the supreme entity, the overflow of all existence.

"Since that is the case, it will be easy to find."

Li Heng tapped the Void lightly, a glimmer of spiritual light appeared, and it immediately manifested as a Bronze Ancient Mirror, illuminating the surrounding Void, with infinite worlds derived within, layered and endless.

"Great Venerable, this is?"

The Third Elder was puzzled; what was he trying to do?

"Where is the Abyss Sea you speak of? And I want the location of the true Abyss Sea, not the manifested projections of the Abyss Sea in the various worlds and eras." Li Heng said calmly.

The Third Elder was still puzzled, but he also wanted to see what Li Heng was up to. He waved his hand, and an image appeared before him. In it, Yin Qi and Magic Qi were surging; looking out, it was boundless and endless, and within every water droplet were infinite broken ancient worlds, and the sea was a terrifying ocean that was entirely black.

"Great Venerable, this is the Abyss Sea."

He did not truly reveal the space-time coordinates of the Abyss Sea, but with the strength of a Great Venerable, he should be able to know the true space-time coordinates through the Causality connection of this image, right?

He could not be bothered to pay attention to the Third Elder's probing.

Li Heng instantly followed the Causality connection within the image of the summoned Bronze Ancient Mirror, crossing infinite Void eras, and appeared within the true Abyss Sea.

"Does the Great Venerable intend to use this mirror to monitor the entire Abyss Sea to spy on the location of the Great Dao Treasure Pearl?" At this moment, the Third Elder finally guessed Li Heng's purpose, appearing somewhat surprised and puzzled.

This purpose of Li Heng's was not hard to guess, and the logic was very simple and crude; he should have thought of it long ago. But why he only thought of it now was naturally because the Multiverse Alliance had already tried this method, and it was not applicable.

This was not to say that this method absolutely could not find the location of the Great Dao Treasure Pearl. It was just that once this method was used to monitor the surroundings, it would inevitably attract the attention of all the evil things in the Abyss Sea, and the resulting commotion would be huge and difficult to clean up.

If this also disturbed the Abyss hidden within, or even the Forbidden Objects within the Abyss, then the loss would outweigh the gain. By then, there would be no possibility of getting the Great Dao Treasure Pearl back.

"Looking at your expression, this method is not very feasible?"

Li Heng smiled.

"It is indeed not feasible."

The Third Elder told Li Heng about these matters.

Li Heng nodded. "Your concerns are very reasonable, but they are limited to you, or perhaps one could say they are limited to those below the rank of Venerable. What do you think?"

The Third Elder was silent. He knew that the person before him was a Great Venerable, who might have a way to hide his own tracks and not let it cause too much of a stir. But the Great Venerable was so strong that, like a dragon entering the sea, it was also possible to cause an even greater stir.

In the endless Abyss Sea.

Armies from the Multiverse Alliance broke through the Void, fighting and slaughtering with the many evil things in the sea. Leading the battle was a Venerable named Shafa, behind whom was an endless, towering sea of blood, with a Slaughter Blade surrounded by terrifying Demon Flame floating within it, confronting the Abyss Sea and many powerful evil things.

At this moment, he noticed the ancient mirror Li Heng had cast out.

Shafa frowned.

An ancient mirror from the direction of the Alliance? Those old fogies, idiots, are they making a foolish move again? Clearly, they should just let the army fight and advance slowly, yet they insist on seeking quick success?

He could not help but shake his head, showing disdain.

The last time he used this method to scout in all directions, it ended up stirring something inside the Abyss, causing its gaze to turn upward, and under the connection of Causality, it nearly caused a Venerable to perish.

Has he still not learned his lesson?

He would like to see who will have such bad luck this time; it would be best if the thing inside the Abyss appeared directly and swallowed the home of the person behind this.

He sneered.

Only he can accomplish the matter of the Great Dao Treasure Pearl!
