Having spent roughly two days, Su Liang and his companions journeyed towards the core region of the Fusang Divine Realm.
What Su Liang found somewhat strange was this:
The Fusang Tree he had seen within the Town Boundary Cauldron was clearly located in the very center of the Fusang Divine Realm.
Yet, despite being so close to the heart of this place, he still hadn't caught even a glimpse of the Fusang Tree.
This suggested that the Fusang Divine Tree might be using some kind of power to conceal itself, or perhaps the Golden Crow Clan had hidden it away.
Somewhere within the Fusang Divine Realm, there must be a passage leading to the Fusang Divine Tree...
For two days, Shangguan Qingyu... her sister, hadn't uttered a single word.
Truly not a single word, more frigid than an iceberg.
"Come on, big sister, say something at least. Being so cold, you'll mess up your endocrine system, which could lead to irregular periods."
Shangguan Qingyu turned her head to look at Su Liang, her clear, cold gaze sending a chill down his spine.
"I was just joking."
Shangguan Qingyu finally spoke, "As a prodigy, an expert, your language is so crude. Don't you think that's unbecoming?"
Su Liang said with a straight face, "What's wrong with it? Put aside personal qualities and enjoy a carefree life. It's a famous saying, many people have said it. You should learn more from it."
"Besides, this can make some enemies lose their composure, which is pretty good too."
Shangguan Qingyu looked at Su Liang for a while, utterly speechless.
Shangguan Qingyu brushed aside these distracting thoughts.
She said, "Ahead is our destination. I've been here once before and scouted it out."
"Let me remind you, the area we're in now can actually be considered the core region."
"There are many strong individuals in this area, quite a few old fellows who are at the peak of the Sect level, close to forty times the Divine Path limit."
"They're after the fortune in the core region, so they arrived here a long time ago."
"You'd better be careful, or even if I wanted to protect you, I wouldn't be able to."
Su Liang nodded, "Got it."
"Tell me, what exactly is our target location?"
Shangguan Qingyu was silent for a moment.
"When the Golden Crow Clan left the Fusang Divine Realm, it was said that there were two objects and two divine powers they couldn't take with them."
"The two divine powers are 'Resurrection' and 'Shape-shifting'."
Su Liang curiously asked, "What about the two objects?"
Shangguan Qingyu said calmly, "One of them is naturally the Fusang Divine Tree, as for the other... unknown... very mysterious. There's only a rumor that there were two objects left behind, but the so-called other object is unknown."
Su Liang's heart flickered slightly. Could she be talking about the Heavenly Dipper Mysterious Machine Seal?
It was quite possible.
Shangguan Qingyu continued, "As for the two great divine powers that couldn't be taken away, it's because their origins are extremely special."
"There's a very ancient legend on Ancestral Star."
Su Liang listened quietly.
"Legend has it that the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Divine Powers and the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Minor Divine Powers were all created by you humans, a testament to seizing the creation of heaven and earth."
"In fact, our demon race has also created many divine powers, but most of them are only suitable for our respective races and cannot be used by other races."
"At most, only some ordinary spell divine powers can be shared."
"Among the demon race, there are also divine powers comparable to the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Divine Powers."
Su Liang nodded slightly, "What are you trying to say? Are you digressing?"
Shangguan Qingyu wasn't annoyed, she just continued to speak on her own.
"However, the one hundred and eight Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers created by the human race can be used by all races, and everyone can learn them."
"This is what makes the human race heaven-defying."
"Therefore, the one hundred and eight Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend major and minor divine powers are widely known, and everyone wants to obtain them."
"Especially the 'Creation of Heaven and Earth' divine power, which is the head of the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Divine Powers, can be regarded as the limit of divine powers, known to be able to create something from nothing, a truly terrifying divine power!"
"However, after a divine power is created, it is very likely to be lost or forgotten after the passage of time."
"Therefore, your human race's predecessors imitated some ancient mortals' practice of recording words on stone walls, and imprinted the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Divine Powers on some strange objects for the purpose of inheritance and preservation of these divine powers!"
"Then, these strange objects imprinted with the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Divine Powers are called Great Divine Power Matrices!"
Hearing this, Su Liang's heart slightly froze.
So that's how it is...
But didn't that little old man Ouyezi say that the Creation of Heaven and Earth divine power came from the Heavenly Dipper Mysterious Machine Seal?
This... which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Shangguan Qingyu continued, "This led to the saying of the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Matrices."
"The thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Matrices were born in Ancestral Star and formed a very special connection with the will of Ancestral Star, which led to the fact that the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Matrices simply cannot leave Ancestral Star."
"No matter what method is used, they cannot be taken away unless Ancestral Star is destroyed!"
Hearing this, Su Liang finally understood.
"So, this is the reason why there are two great divine powers in the Fusang Divine Realm. The other eight great divine powers obtained by the Golden Crow Clan are not Heavenly Dipper Matrices."
Shangguan Qingyu nodded, "This is also the source of the rumors."
"This information is only recorded by the top great races in the starry sky, the races that experienced the era when the Golden Crow Clan dominated."
"In that era, the Golden Crow Clan did obtain two Heavenly Dipper Matrices."
"The matrix here is a strange object, not simply representing an item."
"Therefore, it is the Eternal Life Fire imprinted with the Resurrection great divine power and the Reincarnation Stone Embryo imprinted with the Shape-shifting power!"
Su Liang's heart trembled slightly.
So that's how it is!
That is to say, in the era when the Golden Crow dominated, the Golden Crow Clan actually obtained the Heavenly Dipper Mysterious Machine Seal, but they didn't know that the Creation of Heaven and Earth divine power was on the Heavenly Dipper Mysterious Machine Seal.
At that time, they thought that the Heavenly Dipper Mysterious Machine Seal they had obtained was just the Mysterious Machine Seal...
Or rather, they knew, but couldn't obtain the divine power...
Shangguan Qingyu said, "After my clan's ancestors deduced it, and after my on-the-spot investigation,"
"The Reincarnation Stone Embryo imprinted with Shape-shifting is very likely to be in the ruins ahead."
"That was once a sacrificial place for the Golden Crow Clan, with another independent small space."
Su Liang's heart slightly froze, "There's also a small space? A set within a set?"
Shangguan Qingyu didn't understand Su Liang's strange words.
She said, "I have investigated it once. There are powerful restriction formations in that space, and you may need to pass through some trials."
Su Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that you knew there was something inside before you entered this place? Are you planning to trick me in there?"
"Are you now used to tricking people in and then slaughtering them?"
Shangguan Qingyu looked at him speechlessly.
"When the Fusang Divine Realm was opened in the last era, elders of my clan had been here and knew some of the situation inside. Then, combined with the information we consulted and some legends, we deduced it."
"Can you stop thinking that I'm going to harm you all the time?"
Su Liang smiled, "I was just joking."
"But, what's the reason you're looking for me? Why are you looking for a human like me?"
"Among the demon races that have a good relationship with your Qingluan clan, there are many powerful existences. You could find a stronger existence."
Shangguan Qingyu said coldly, "I already explained this question last time. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Su Liang smiled, "I guess there must be another crucial reason. I don't believe it's just because others can't be trusted. Moreover, why do you think I can be trusted?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I promised to cooperate with you, so I will naturally fulfill it."
Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyu was silent for a moment.
"Actually, it's because of the luck on your body."
Su Liang was slightly stunned, "Luck?"
Shangguan Qingyu said, "You possess crimson eyes, destined to be the one with great luck. Moreover, you are a human, so under various preconditions, your luck will be very good."
"Walking with you will make it more likely to find the divine power!"
"That's it, no more concealment."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Qingyu had already flown towards her destination.
Clear and cold, free and natural.
As if nothing could cause her emotions to fluctuate.
This was a very special woman.
Su Liang glanced at her back, was silent for a moment, a person with great luck...
Crimson eyes...
The mystery of crimson eyes seemed to be known to all of these demon races, but he didn't know.
He followed her, not asking any more questions.
He landed with her in these ruins.
