Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The skiff and the giant ship hovered amid the Chaos Fog, with only a few low-level Chaos Species swimming by sporadically in the surroundings.

However, upon sensing the auras emanating from the two vessels, they immediately turned tail and fled.

Zhao Ziyue rested the bamboo fishing rod on his knees, lifted his conical hat and fanned himself.

The Gui Xu seal mark on his forehead had not yet fully faded.

That battle just now was not as effortless as he appeared on the surface.

Xu Zhangqing stood at the bow, cupping his fists toward Zhao Ziyue: "Lao Zhao, thanks for this time.

If you hadn't been pinning down that Chaos Giant Beast, the Star River Tripod wouldn't have been so easy for me to get my hands on.

Next time we run into a Supreme Treasure, I'll be the one holding the line for you."

Zhao Ziyue waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of dismissiveness: "Alright, alright, we're all our own people, why say such things.

Back then, you and Lao Hu helped me out so many times at the Dongting Immortal Sect, when did I ever say thanks to you lot?"

The corners of Xu Zhangqing's mouth twitched several times: "Uh~"

But what Zhao Ziyue didn't know was that Xu Zhangqing already had two Supreme Treasures in his possession.

The Nine Dragons Supreme Pearl had been given to his Eldest Daughter Linglong.

The Universe Star River Tripod had just been secured.

The origins of these two Supreme Treasures were both far from simple.

One was a supreme treasure of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

One was an Immortal's artifact that sealed a complete Star River.

【22】 One was an Immortal's artifact that sealed a complete Star River.

Scanning the entire Chaos Sea, the number of people who could obtain two Supreme Treasures amid the Universe Tides could be counted on one hand.

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside Xu Zhangqing's ear.

That voice was bland, devoid of any emotion.

As if from an unimaginably distant place, it had traversed layer upon layer of Chaos Fog to reach his ear, yet it was as clear as if someone were speaking right beside him.

"Members of the Beidou Xianfu in the depths of the Chaos Sea, gather at my side immediately."

Xu Zhangqing recognized it — this was Zhen Yuanzi's voice.

His gaze instantly sharpened.

Since Zhen Yuanzi took the initiative to send a summons, it meant the situation on his end had changed.

Either the Chaos Royal Clan had already been dealt with.

Or something even more important had appeared.

Sure enough, the next second the answer came through:

"At the place where I battled the Chaos Royal Clan, a rift has formed where the time flow is completely different from the outside world.

The time ratio between inside and outside the rift is still unclear; cultivating for one day inside might be equivalent to several days or even several years outside.

Anyone who wants to raise their cultivation may enter.

The rift entrance is already under my control; Beidou Disciples have priority."

A rift with a different time flow!

Xu Zhangqing heard this and his heart shook.

This thing is more precious than any Supreme Treasure.

No matter how strong a Supreme Treasure, it is ultimately an external object, while cultivation advancement is the foundation.

He is currently at the Late Stage of Spirit Severing, only a step away from the Void Refining realm; if he can enter this time rift, relying on his profound foundation, breaking through to Void Refining is practically a foregone conclusion.

Seeing his expression change, Zhao Ziyue asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhangqing briefly relayed a few sentences of Zhen Yuanzi's transmission.

After listening, the casualness on Zhao Ziyue's face also collected a few degrees.

Although he is the Agent of the Gui Xu Master, the Gui Xu Master and the Beidou Xianfu do not interfere with each other; an opportunity like a time rift naturally cannot be missed.

"Let's go."

Zhao Ziyue lifted his fishing rod, and the waves beneath the skiff had already reversed direction.

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Let's go."

The two moved with extreme speed.

The Lei Ming Yin Dragon Boat in front, the skiff behind, tearing through layer upon layer of Chaos Fog, advancing at full speed toward the deeper reaches of the Chaos Sea.

The deeper they went, the denser the color of the Chaos Fog became.

From the initial gray-white, it gradually shifted to a stifling dark gray.

Later, even the penetrating power of Divine Sense suffered obvious suppression.

Dangers also grew more and more numerous.

Chaos Lords could be seen everywhere.

Some roamed in groups of three or five through the Chaos Fog, some lay dormant on Chaos Reef Stones, and still others fought each other, churning the sea area for hundreds of li into chaos.

Moreover, just the Chaos Giant Beasts encountered along this route numbered no fewer than three.

The first was shaped like a giant crab; its two massive pincers spread wide enough to snap a mountain range in two. It walked sideways across the Chaos Sea surface, each step stirring up hundred-zhang waves.

The second was a giant serpent over three thousand zhang long, its body covered in gray-white bone-scale armor, each scale parasitized by dense swarms of small unique species.

The third one was coiled atop a black reef stone rising from the surface of the Chaos Sea, its form resembling a bat magnified countless times, its wings folded like a sky-covering giant sail.

With every breath, two blazing white flames sprayed from its nostrils, burning the Chaos Fog within a hundred li radius into nothingness.

Faced with this, the two chose to detour.

It wasn't that they couldn't fight, but that it wasn't necessary.

An opportunity like a Shi Jian Jian Xi — the earlier they arrived, the better.

Apart from the Chaos Giant Beasts, in an extremely distant place, the two also caught sight of an even more terrifying figure.

To what extent was that figure large?

Separated by who knows how many li, just its blurry contour occupied half their field of vision.

Its form was indistinct; one could only faintly see countless tentacles extending from its main body, each tentacle's tip glowing with a cluster of eerie blue light, as if holding countless lanterns.

But those "lanterns" emitted not warmth, but Chaos Law fluctuations cold to the marrow.

Where it passed, space silently collapsed, leaving a pitch-black trail stretching thousands of li.

Unsurprisingly, it was another Chaos Royal Clan member.

The two didn't look further, sped up, and continued on their way.

Along the way, besides Chaos Species, there were also Calamity Cultivators.

The Universe Tide had churned up countless treasures from the depths of the Chaos Sea, and also attracted countless desperadoes.

Two groups of Calamity Cultivators, one after another, had targeted the Lei Ming Yin Dragon Boat and the small boat.

The first group was seven Loose Cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage, relying on their numbers to block the way and rob; they were scattered in disarray by a single Xuanhuang Great Hand Seal from Xu Zhangqing.

The second group hid deeper, lurking behind a patch of Chaos Reef Stones and setting up a trap-kill Dharma Array; as a result, Zhao Ziyue's fishing line probed it out in advance, and he backhandedly used the water line to mince the entire patch of reef stones into powder.

Of course, the two weren't just focused on hurrying.

Treasures constantly streaked across the Chaos Sea surface as flowing light amid the Universe Tide; the Lei Ming Yin Dragon Boat accepted all comers, the Dragon head at the bow opening its mouth and swallowing no fewer than several dozen streaks of light.

Zhao Ziyue also conveniently fished up a few.

Among them, three items were quite remarkable.

The first was a fist-sized Innate Xuanmu.

Entirely white, with naturally formed law veins inside, it is a core material for refining top-grade defensive Magic Treasures.

The second was a section of Coiling Dragon Blood Vine.

The vine body was only three feet long, yet exuded a rich Dragon Race bloodline aura; dragon patterns naturally grew on the vine skin, making it a top-grade Spiritual Material whether for alchemy or artifact refining.

The third was a Thunder Roar Stone.

This object's exterior was pitch-black and rough, but with just a thread of magic power infused, rolling thunder sounds would emanate from within the stone — a supreme material for refining lightning-attribute Magic Treasures.

After flying another stretch, the Chaos Fog ahead suddenly grew thin.

An extremely vast sea area appeared before the two.

This sea area spanned no less than ten thousand li in radius; the Chaos Fog had been pushed aside by some force, leaving only a thin layer suspended in the high sky.

The sea surface was strangely calm, not even a breath of wind!
