Mountain and Sea Sacred Land

At this moment, within the palace.

A white-haired Taoist dressed in white was seated cross-legged on a mat, his face handsome, eyes half-closed and half-open, as if he was one with the entire Immortal Palace.

Suddenly.

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were as deep as the boundless starry sky, with phenomena of mountains collapsing and oceans drying appearing deep within the pupils, seemingly reflecting the life and death of all things.

In front of him, a golden rune floated—this was a communication from the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

"The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for the cultivation of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable..."

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate softly recited the content of the message, his voice calm and distant, echoing within the Immortal Palace.

After a moment of silence.

He gently waved his hand.

"Buzz—"

The Dao Rhythm light curtain outside the Immortal Palace gently fluctuated, and a thought crossed mountains and seas, reaching deep into the Holy Land.

About half an hour later.

A figure stepped on ripples in the void, speeding swiftly from afar, landing outside the Immortal Palace.

The newcomer was clad in a blue robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, faint Sword Intent swirling around him, and with every step he took, a Green Lotus naturally appeared beneath his feet, supporting him.

Though his aura was somewhat reserved, it faintly exuded an unstoppable sharpness.

It was Gu Xianlin.

He straightened his robe, looked respectful, and bowed toward the Immortal Palace.

"Disciple Gu Xianlin, greets the master!"

"Come in."

The voice of the Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate came from inside the palace.

Only then did Gu Xianlin step forward, passing through the Dao Rhythm light curtain and entering the Immortal Palace.

Inside the palace, it was empty except for the mat in the center and the ancient totems carved on the walls.

There were depictions of the beginning of Chaos, battles between gods and demons, the rise of the Human Clan, and the establishment of the Holy Land—each totem contained endless Dao Rhythm, and even ordinary Heavenly Venerates might fall into enlightenment after a few glances.

"Disciple pays respects to the master."

Gu Xianlin saluted once more.

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Gu Xianlin, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"At the Peak of Three Tribulations, just a step away from the Fourth Tribulation, you have entered the Holy Land for less than a million years and achieved such progress, surpassing any Saint Heir of the past."

Gu Xianlin replied respectfully, "It's all thanks to the master's guidance and the nourishment of the Holy Land's resources, the disciple dares not claim the credit."

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate waved his hand, "I summoned you today not for cultivation assessment."

He paused, his gaze turning profound.

"Are you aware of the news from the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty?"

Gu Xianlin nodded, "The disciple knows, my royal father has emerged, searching for the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that would assist the cultivation of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable. This matter has already spread across the four hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Domains of the Immortal Dynasty."

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Coincidentally, I have something here that might be useful for your royal father."

Saying that, he slowly raised his right hand, lightly tracing in the void with his palm.

"Sizzle—"

Space silently split open, revealing a seam.

Within the seam was not chaotic turbulence, but an independent miniature universe.

That universe was just a hundred feet in diameter, yet it had sun, moon, stars, and the Three Thousand Great Paths flowing at its center, where a wholly black wooden box floated.

The wooden box was simple and unadorned, with no markings on its surface.

But—

At the moment it appeared, the Dao Rhythm flowing throughout the Immortal Palace came to a halt.

As if this wooden box itself was the embodiment of the Tao, the condensation of rules, a microcosm of Chaos.

Around the box, there was a visible mysterious Dao Rhythm mist spreading like fog, sometimes transforming into collapsing galaxies, sometimes forming the beginning of the world, mysterious and unfathomable.

"This item..."

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate's voice carried a hint of complexity, a touch of reluctance, but more so a decisive determination.

"Must be brought back to the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty and personally handed over to your royal father."

He gently pushed with his palm.

The black wooden box floated out from the space seam, slowly falling towards Gu Xianlin.

The trajectory of the wooden box left traces of Dao in the void, which lingered for a long time, as if engraved in the depths of space-time.

Gu Xianlin, his expression solemn, extended both hands to respectfully receive the wooden box.

The wooden box felt cold to the touch, its texture neither metallic nor wooden, of an indescribable material.

More wondrous was that when the wooden box landed in his hands, Gu Xianlin felt the Sword Intent Dao and even his Divine Soul within him begin to spontaneously resonate and operate.

As if the item within the box could invoke the roots of all Daos!

"Master, what exactly is inside this box?"

Gu Xianlin couldn't help but ask.

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate took a long look at the wooden box, slowly uttering six words.

"Enlightenment Tea Tree Leaves."

"Buzz—"

Gu Xianlin's expression changed drastically.

Enlightenment Tea Tree!

Tea leaves!

These simple six words, yet more shocking to him than any awe-inspiring Divine Skills or any supreme Secret Technique!

As the Saint Heir of the Mountain and Sea Sacred Land, Gu Xianlin's knowledge far exceeded that of the average Heavenly Venerate.

He naturally knew what the Enlightenment Tea Tree symbolized—

The Chaos Spirit Root!

Existing since the opening of Chaos, born alongside Chaos.

Legend has it, the Enlightenment Tea Tree rooted at the source of the Great Tao, and each leaf carries a complete rule of the Great Tao.

If a cultivator acquires one leaf, they may enter a state of Unity of Heaven and Man under the leaf's Dao Rhythm, resolving all doubts and bottlenecks encountered in previous cultivation.

Such a Supreme Treasure goes beyond the description of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It is a chance, a creation, a key to defying fate!

"Master, the Enlightenment Tea Tree you mentioned, is it the Chaos Spirit Root that existed since the beginning of Chaos and was later destroyed during the great tribulation?!"

Gu Xianlin's voice trembled.

The Mountain and Sea Heavenly Venerate nodded slowly, his eyes revealing a look of reminiscence, "Indeed."

"In ancient times, the Evil God Clan emerged, waging war against the Human Clan.

That battle affected more than half of the Endless Immortal Domain, countless Heavenly Venerates fell, even the Immortal ones shed blood, and countless Immortal Domains turned to dust, while countless worlds faded into oblivion.
