Luo Xiu certainly didn't stand on ceremony with such a fine item, simply reaching out and taking it.
Luo Qingxian said, "This Key Fragment, to some extent, is no less valuable than the Golden Roc Inverse Feather."
"Unfortunately, this is just a fragment. You still need to find the other three pieces. Only when they are all assembled will it have any value."
Luo Xiu asked, "Where did you find this fragment?"
Luo Qingxian answered truthfully, "I obtained it when I broke through the Golden Roc Sword Array. It was placed together with the Golden Roc Inverse Feather. The situation was urgent at the time, so I only managed to grab this."
Luo Xiu smiled. "Thanks. This is very important to me."
As of now, Luo Xiu had obtained three of the four Key Fragments. He had found one himself in the Black Fiend Domain, Kuang Pi had given him one, and now Luo Qingxian had given him another. He was only missing the last one!
Luo Qingxian asked, "Do you know what this key is for?"
Luo Xiu smiled. "I know a little. I hear that once it's complete, it grants access to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven."
Luo Qingxian nodded. "I already have the right to enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, so this key is useless to me."
"If you manage to assemble the complete key in the future and enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, you can find me. I'll show you around the place."
"Alright."
Luo Qingxian turned to leave. "I'm off."
Luo Xiu said, "We'll meet again."
As he watched Luo Qingxian's figure fly off into the distance, Luo Xiu was filled with emotion. After this farewell, who knows when I'll see that water-spraying Water Fairy again.
Only after Luo Qingxian had completely disappeared from sight did Luo Xiu open a spatial entrance and return to the Land of Lawlessness.
As soon as he entered the Land of Lawlessness, he started on his way to the Green Lotus Palace. Suddenly, a clear bird cry resounded through the Void. A moment later, Lei Luan landed before him, having flown at a remarkable speed.
Amid a flow of brilliant light, Lei Luan transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman with a fiery figure.
Luo Xiu was momentarily stunned as he looked at the gorgeous woman before him. She had a fiery figure and wore a shimmering silver gown. Before he could react, she joyfully threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly.
"Your Majesty, I really can't thank you enough!"
"Not only did you help me retrieve my Taoist Body, but it's even more powerful than before!"
"Your Majesty... I really don't know how to thank you..."
Luo Xiu smiled slightly and gently pushed her away. "Actually, you should be thanking the Golden Roc Ancestor. That fellow used the Golden Roc Secret Method to perform a blood sacrifice, which is what refined your Taoist Body to this perfect state."
As he spoke, Luo Xiu scrutinized Lei Luan and asked curiously, "Now that you've returned to your own body, what happened to the Thunder Queen Bee?"
"The Bee King has arrived!"
In the next moment, a loud shout rang out.
Luo Xiu looked toward the sound, only to see Dou Dou and Yaya, two little girls, squeezed together on the back of a giant bee the size of a calf.
The giant bee was carrying the two of them over, followed by a large swarm of Thundering Bees. With such an entourage, an uninformed observer would have thought the two little girls were leading a gang out for a fight.
Lei Luan looked at Luo Xiu with an adorable expression and said, "Now that I've found my own Taoist Body, I naturally don't need the Bee King anymore, so I set it free."
Dou Dou suddenly leaped from the Bee King's back, landing directly on Luo Xiu's back and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Chen Shuisheng, come play with Dou Dou!"
"You never take me out with you! I'm so bored."
Yaya suddenly descended from the sky, shouting, "I'm here! Everyone, make way!" She then scattered the Thundering Bees and ran up to hug Luo Xiu's leg.
"Little Mule, I want to play with you too!"
...
After resting for two days, Luo Xiu left the Land of Lawlessness and returned to the Golden Roc Nest. This time, he didn't bring anyone with him. It was just him and the vase. He had left the jar of Imperial Marrow Brew, along with the various Magical Treasures and Spiritual Medicines he had gathered, in the Land of Lawlessness under Luo Ying's management.
He had only one requirement: for everyone to cultivate diligently and increase their strength as quickly as possible.
Master Ping said, "Since there's nowhere left to explore in the Spirit Tomb, the only way to find great opportunities now is to check out the Divine Organ Ground."
Luo Xiu took out the map drawn by Kuang Pi and looked at the human-shaped pattern on it—the so-called "Corpse of Kuafu." He asked, "Where is the Divine Organ Ground? What's there?"
Master Ping chuckled. "Oh, there's a ridiculous amount of good stuff there!"
"If Burial God Hill is at the dantian of the 'Corpse of Kuafu,' then the Divine Organ Ground is at its heart!"
Luo Xiu asked curiously, "Speaking of which, is this giant, human-shaped island really formed from the body of an Ancient God?"
Master Ping replied, "More or less."
Luo Xiu was surprised. "Then how enormous must the Ancient God have been when it was alive?"
Master Ping patiently explained, "Actually, the Ancient God wasn't that large—about the same size as a normal human. It's just that after it died, its decaying corpse released an immense and dense amount of energy. Over a vast stretch of time, that energy transformed into this island and gave rise to an independent ecosystem."
"I see," Luo Xiu said, then asked, "So how did the Ancient Gods come into being?"
Master Ping said, "Ancient Gods are a type of divine spirit naturally nurtured by heaven and earth."
"In fact, any world can give birth to a god. The 'Ancient Gods' you speak of are simply gods that were naturally born on Earth."
Luo Xiu pondered, "A 'god'... What kind of powerful existence is that, exactly?"
Master Ping said, "More powerful than you can possibly imagine."
Luo Xiu asked, "If that's the case, why was the Ancient God killed?"
Master Ping answered, "Let me put it this way, kid. A god's so-called power isn't about its fighting ability, but its connection to the laws of heaven and earth.
"A god *is* an incarnation of Law.
"In a straight fight, a human who has cultivated to a certain level could probably beat a god. But its Power of Laws is invincibly strong.
"It's like how you, in the Land of Lawlessness, can use your left eye to control the laws there and easily suppress beings stronger than yourself. That's a manifestation of the Power of Laws.
"Fire burns, water nourishes, the earth sustains life... These are the laws of heaven and earth. No one can defy them, which is why they are invincibly powerful.
"However, you're still far from that level, kid, so you don't need to know too much yet."
...
It took Luo Xiu three days to leave the Spirit Tomb.
After another ten days of travel, he finally reached the so-called Divine Organ Ground.
It was a silent, gloomy gorge. From high in the sky, it looked like a gaping wound slashed across a chest. Even before he drew close, Luo Xiu sensed a profound, indescribable aura, as if something terrifying was hiding in the gorge's depths.
Luo Xiu landed at the valley entrance and chose to proceed on foot. The dark corridor of the gorge was littered with the skeletons of giant beasts. The atmosphere was dead silent and oppressive, enough to make one's skin crawl.
At the end of the gorge was a large gate. Stepping through it was like entering another world.
Luo Xiu walked through the gate and found himself on the edge of a cliff.
Below the cliff, his eyes fell upon a mysterious, ancient complex of buildings, every part of which emanated an aura of decay. Luo Xiu could imagine that, long ago, a massive tribe had once lived here.
As Luo Xiu was observing his surroundings, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from somewhere within the buildings below. A large section of houses collapsed, sending up a rolling cloud of dust and smoke!
Luo Xiu instantly sensed a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Power and frowned. "Sounds like a fight is going on over there."
Master Ping laughed. "Just some small fry, probably fighting over some opportunity. I think you should go play referee."
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Luo Xiu smiled knowingly and shot into the air, flying straight toward the commotion.
A short while later, Luo Xiu landed on a rooftop. As he observed the flickering figures in the ruins below, his brow suddenly furrowed. He recognized several of the faces.
Why is it them?
At that very moment, Zhong Mudao and his disciple Tang Ao were leading a group of disciples from the Heavenly Moon Cult, hunting a woman in black.
And as for the woman they were hunting, Luo Xiu recognized her instantly!
It's Watari Kagura!
