Xiao Ce did not answer but suddenly looked at Zhou Yu and said deeply:

"The question you want to ask is exactly the matter I'm about to tell you."

"Do you know why the Ancient Elder is being targeted by the Heavenly King Sea?"

"Why was the Yun Family annihilated overnight back then?"

"Why has the Divine Sword Sect pursued the Snowflake Sword God for so many years, unwilling to give up?"

"And why is the Heavenly King Sea targeting you?"

Faced with Xiao Ce's questions, Zhou Yu looked puzzled.

"I don't know the first two questions, but I do have an idea about the last two."

"The Divine Sword Sect pursues the Snowflake Sword God due to their personal vendetta. It's said that to keep the Snowflake Sword God within the Divine Sword Sect, they killed all her family, thus forming a vendetta."

"As for the Heavenly King Sea, their various means to deal with me are just to force the old man to appear, right?"

"It's said that someone in the Heavenly King Sea wants to eliminate the old man."

Xiao Ce said in a deep voice:

"The grudge between He Xue'er and the Divine Sword Sect is merely superficial; there are deeper reasons involved."

"Let's put that aside for now."

"Do you know why the Heavenly King Sea is intent on eliminating the Ancient Elder?"

"This..."

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"I don't know."

"Please enlighten me, Elder Xiao."

Xiao Ce looked up at the sky, his gaze filled with profound and distant colors.

"All of this is related to the Ascend to Ancestral Realm."

"Ascend to Ancestral Realm?"

Zhou Yu was stunned.

"Indeed."

"In today's martial arts world, due to some unknown changes, martial artists who cultivate to Emperor Realm Pinnacle encounter a barrier."

"An insurmountable barrier; we call it the 'Boundary'."

"'Boundary'?" Zhou Yu revealed a look of shock.

"Yes, that's correct."

"'Boundary', martial arts 'boundary'."

"For nearly a thousand years, no matter how exceptionally talented the prodigies might have been, numerous have reached Emperor Realm Pinnacle, yet facing the barrier, they've exhausted all means without being able to overcome it and ultimately died regrettably."

"Until today, at this moment, the 'Boundary' still exists, and no one has yet succeeded in breaking through!"

Zhou Yu frowned.

"But that's not right, isn't Jian Xu, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sword Sect, an Ancestor Realm expert?"

"Also, I've heard that the Heavenly King Sea has Ancestor Realm experts too."

"How did they break through the 'Boundary'?"

Xiao Ce said in a deep voice:

"That's because there's something that can enable one at Emperor Realm Pinnacle to break through the 'Boundary' and step into Ancestral Realm."

Zhou Yu was astonished.

This was the first time he heard what Xiao Ce spoke of these matters today; he had never heard of them before.

The existence of the 'Boundary' was already shocking to him.

He didn't expect there were things capable of breaking through the 'Boundary' either.

Undoubtedly, these must be incredibly precious.

"What is that?" Zhou Yu immediately asked.

Xiao Ce said in a deep voice:

"Actually, we don't know exactly what it is."

"We simply call it the 'Heavenly Law Dao Bead'!"

At these words, Zhou Yu was directly stunned.

The Heavenly Law Dao Bead?

Isn't that the thing he obtained from the elder's rebellious hand?

He currently has two, which he has fused into a Golden Core through Tai Chu Skill.

Of course, it is yet to reach a complete state as a Golden Core.

He just needs to find the final Heavenly Law Dao Bead to recreate a complete Golden Core and set foot on the Cultivation Path.

Before this, Zhou Yu really didn't know the Heavenly Law Dao Bead was so significant, related to the martial arts 'Boundary' and Ascend to Ancestral Realm.

However, Zhou Yu, upon further consideration, felt somewhat off.

He acquired the Heavenly Law Dao Bead quite some time ago.

Yet, he hasn't discovered anything too extraordinary about the Heavenly Law Dao Bead.

Why can this thing break through the martial arts 'Boundary'?

All these thoughts flashed through Zhou Yu's mind in an instant.

Various complex ideas sprang up all at once.

Just at this moment, Xiao Ce suddenly said:

"Zhou Yu, you must be wondering why the Heavenly Law Dao Bead you obtained isn't as powerful as imagined, right?"

These words made Zhou Yu almost choke.

"Cough cough—"

"Elder Xiao, this... you know too?"

Zhou Yu didn't expect Xiao Ce to know even about him having the Heavenly Law Dao Bead; it was too embarrassing.

No, it's too incredible.

Xiao Ce glared at Zhou Yu.

"Kid, the Heavenly Law Dao Bead is indeed something of great importance; if what you had obtained was a complete Heavenly Law Dao Bead, I would have discovered it long ago."

"Precisely because what you obtained was an incomplete Heavenly Law Dao Bead, you've been able to remain unnoticed until now."

"It's not complete?"

Zhou Yu was stunned.

He always thought he had already obtained two Heavenly Law Dao Beads.

"Nonsense, the Heavenly Law Dao Bead is such a rare treasure, coveted by many Emperor Realm Pinnacles, yet unattainable, could you get two at once?"

"You only obtained a part."

"Only by finding the remaining part can you truly possess a complete Heavenly Law Dao Bead."

Upon Xiao Ce's statement, Zhou Yu finally understood.

Now it all makes sense.

That explains it; the Heavenly Law Dao Bead didn't seem as powerful as Xiao Ce depicted.

It turns out he acquired nothing more than fragments of the Heavenly Law Dao Bead after all.

At this moment, Xiao Ce continued:

"Previously, you indeed hid well, remaining undetected for so long."

"However, the incident in Hu City caused quite a stir, making the Heavenly King Sea notice you earlier; with their means, figuring out your situation isn't very difficult."

At this, Zhou Yu was stunned.

"Elder Xiao, do you mean the Heavenly King Sea already knows I have the Heavenly Law Dao Bead?"
