Hearing what Great Qian of Tai'a had to say left everyone with heavy hearts.

If what Da Qian said was true, then they really shouldn't venture into the depths of the Divine Palace.

Master Ping suddenly asked, "Why don't I know about this Evil Incarnation of the Ancient God?"

Da Qian cursed angrily, "Don't even get me started on that! It pisses me the hell off! Goddamn it, you really are a 'jarhead.' All you ever do is laze around and sleep. How would you know anything about this? When the Ancient God was besieged, you were snoozing away! I was the only one fighting alongside him to the very end!"

Master Ping immediately flared up. "You're nothing but a broken blade! Since when did you learn to spout nonsense like a human? By the time the Ancient God fell in battle, I was already injured and in a deep slumber! How the hell was I slacking off? Ah, forget it. It's all in the past. I'm too lazy to argue with you about such distant memories."

Da Qian sighed. "Anyway, I'm not just scaremongering. The Evil Incarnation that split off from the Ancient God before his death is truly terrifying. If you want to go, then go ahead, but I sure as hell won't! I'm getting out of here to become the most invincible treasured blade in the world!"

With that, he attempted to fly away.

But the next moment, he was ensnared by a Dao Law God Chain and forcefully dragged back.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stupid jar, what are you doing?!"

Master Ping scolded furiously, "You bully the weak and fear the strong. With an attitude like that, do you even deserve to be Luo Xiu's Dao partner?"

"I... Alright, fine! I'll go! Today, I'll risk my life to accompany young Master Luo!"

At this point, Luo Xiu turned to Lin Xiyue and the other women. "Personally, I want to explore the depths of the Divine Palace. As for whether you want to go, you can decide for yourselves."

Lin Xiyue grabbed Luo Xiu's hand, her gaze resolute as she looked at him. "Wherever you go, I'll go!"

Beside them, Xun Mi sighed and shook her head, looking at Lin Xiyue with feigned disappointment. "And to think," she teased, "it used to be 'Sister Mi this, Sister Mi that,' and you said you'd follow me anywhere. Now you've found a man and forgotten all about your Sister Mi? You're a classic case, putting a guy before your friends."

Lin Xiyue's cheeks puffed out in defiance. "That's not true! Sister Mi, don't talk nonsense!"

Xun Mi then looked at Luo Xiu and said seriously, "We must be some of the first people to have made it this far and still be alive. Since we're already here, I think we should give it a try."

Da Qian spoke proudly, "That's right. Anyone who came before, no matter who they were, was slaughtered by yours truly! I did it because I was afraid they'd just be throwing their lives away!"

Lin Xiyue's expression turned odd. "So you were afraid of them dying... and you killed them yourself first? Your logic is really something else."

Master Ping laughed. "You big dummy, are you even listening to yourself? Does that sound like something a sane person would say?"

Da Qian grew a bit sullen. "Ah, my dear sister-in-law, that's not what I meant! What I meant was, if living people go in and get absorbed by the Evil Ancient God, it would only make him stronger! If the seal can no longer hold him, he will escape and wreak havoc on the world! You know of the Bloodshed Emperor, right? That bastard was always scheming to get to the Evil Ancient God, which is why I kept him sealed and suppressed. But I have to say, many experts from the Celestial Realm fell in that battle. So, if you go now, you should be able to find quite a few treasures."

After some discussion, Luo Xiu and his group decided to continue their exploration. High risk was accompanied by great opportunity. Since they had already come this far, turning back now would make the entire journey pointless.

The fragmented Divine Palace was like a destroyed world. Exploring it step by step would undoubtedly take a long time.

Luo Xiu had no desire to waste time, so under the guidance of Great Qian of Tai'a, he flew directly to the deepest part of the Divine Palace and landed on the giant sword, which was 10,000 meters long.

Compared to the giant sword, a human was but a grain of sand. Standing on its surface, Luo Xiu and his companions felt as if they were on an endlessly vast plaza.

Luo Xiu crouched and touched the "ground," discovering that the giant sword wasn't made of metal but some kind of stone.

"So, what's the story behind this giant sword?"

Great Qian of Tai'a explained, "This giant sword is actually the seal that suppresses the Evil Ancient God. In that great battle, a powerful being from the Cosmic Great Wall sundered The Void to send this sword here. This sword is known as the Ancient Starry Sky Sword. It was refined from the essence of myriad stars. In theory, it can grow infinitely large because it wasn't made to kill people, but to destroy stars! If you can comprehend this technique, your power will rise to a new level."

Luo Xiu asked curiously, "From the sound of it... this 'Ancient Starry Sky Sword' isn't actually a blade, but a type of sword technique?"

"It's a Divine Skill," Da Qian said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiyue's eyes lit up. She eagerly said to Luo Xiu, "Then what are you waiting for? You should try to comprehend this Divine Skill!"

Da Qian added, "There are traces of the Divine Skill on this sword. Any of you can actually try to comprehend it. However, I can't make any promises. Divine Skills are mysterious things. To obtain one requires not only extremely high comprehension but also destiny. You could say that the Divine Skill chooses you, not the other way around."

Hearing this, they all exchanged glances, then flew high into the sky to look down upon the Ancient Starry Sky Sword.

Luo Xiu noticed that the surface of the sword was covered in many mysterious patterns reminiscent of mountains and rivers. He assumed these must be the so-called traces of the Divine Skill.

However, after attempting to comprehend it for a while, Luo Xiu came up empty-handed.

Master Ping said, "Don't waste your time. You don't need to comprehend this kind of Sword Dao Divine Skill. Da Qian makes this Ancient Starry Sky Sword sound incredible, but your mastery of the Sword Dao is just as profound. Why bother with this?"

"True." Luo Xiu nodded, feeling that Master Ping had a point.

He had already reached the pinnacle of the Sword Dao, so why pursue something superfluous? He had felt the same way about the Azure Dragon Sword Array in the Spirit Tomb, which he had also dismissed.

With this in mind, Luo Xiu prepared to land and continue exploring the Divine Palace, but he suddenly noticed that Lin Xiyue, beside him, had entered a state of meditation, as if she had gained some insight.

Just then, Xun Mi flew over and made a hushing gesture, signaling Luo Xiu not to disturb her.

Luo Xiu, of course, would not disturb Lin Xiyue, so he landed on the ground quietly.

Master Ping chuckled. "Looks like your wife is blessed by destiny. I think she must have understood something."

Xun Mi landed nearby and said with a smile, "She is my successor. Since I have merged with her, it is not surprising that my imperial fortune now blesses her."
