Xu Yang nodded solemnly.

Liang Wang's expression grew grave!

"The danger is immense!"

"Once things stabilize, everything will still be under control!"

"But now, with the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison bordering the void, the edges unshackled, terrifying void storms are brewing every single moment—Disaster's might surges, chaos reigns!"

"In this state, even spirit seals that once operated freely within the Celestial Prison can only exert a third of their power. Even True Monarchs face death at any moment!"

Xu Yang's heart tightened, but he did not hesitate at all.

"Prince, I still wish to try!"

"Gu Jun is with you, is he not?" Liang Wang suddenly asked.

"Indeed!" Xu Yang nodded slightly.

"With Gu Jun present, if something unforeseen happens, there is still some assurance."

Liang Wang pondered a moment, then nodded slightly, granting Xu Yang's request.

Xu Yang's face lit up with joy.

He immediately composed himself, gazed at Liang Wang, and voiced the doubt in his heart: "Prince, do you still have faith in His Majesty?"

Liang Wang smiled, utterly unsurprised: "I knew you would ask that!"

"My faith in His Majesty has never wavered!"

Xu Yang was startled.

But then Liang Wang's words shifted, and he sighed: "But His Majesty's ambitions are vast!"

"It takes more than faith; fate must be on our side!"

"All I can tell you is, His Majesty's designs are not limited to this land and sky."

Liang Wang lifted a finger, pointing toward the heavens!

Xu Yang's pupils shrank: "Beyond the Domain?"

Liang Wang smiled mysteriously: "Far beyond what you imagine!"

"For now you do not need to know. Should you learn it, it would only hinder your cultivation."

"The truth far exceeds your imagination—even I know but a tiny fraction!"

Xu Yang's face kept changing.

Liang Wang's words were truly startling!

What he had been thinking—Liang Wang saw through at a glance!

Yet to dare claim it's beyond imagination…

Not scheming for Daqian, not for this world—daring to plot beyond the Domain?

Hiss—

Xu Yang could not help but suck in a cold breath.

Seeing Xu Yang's shocked expression, Liang Wang said faintly, "I know you hate Zheng Xuan—even His Majesty; but I promise you, once you know the truth, your hatred will not be so deep!"

"Should His Majesty succeed, it will be a merit for eternity—for all!"

Perhaps…

A ripple of emotion flashed across Xu Yang's heart but vanished; he thought no further and clasped fists in salute: "Thank you, Prince, for your guidance!"

Liang Wang waved it off indifferently and changed the subject: "How is my good-for-nothing son doing?"

Xu Yang paused, then managed a bitter smile: "Prince, if your son is considered good-for-nothing, who in this world could be called accomplished?"

"Hahaha!!"

Liang Wang burst out laughing in pride.

Others may not know Xu Yang's true depths, but he did.

To earn such praise from Xu Yang—how could he not be proud? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"By the way, Prince, the thing sealed within Young Prince—is that some kind of special sea beast's remains?"

"Exactly."

"That is also thanks to His Majesty. Back in his youth, His Majesty once hunted, beyond the world of Daqian, a True Monarch Sea Beast called the Ten Thousand Seas Giant Whale—its power was vast and inexhaustible, capable of overturning the endless ocean by its strength alone, bearing immeasurable might."

"Later, a piece of its essential spirit bone was sealed within him."

"So that's how it is!"

A flash of amazement swept through Xu Yang's eyes.

To have been hunted by Can Sutian—one could well imagine the power and uniqueness of the Ten Thousand Seas Giant Whale.

Back when he faced Can Yi, the might of that spirit bone had startled him as well!

It was just that Can Yi had not fully fused with it yet, unable to truly unleash its power!

When the fusion is complete, certainly Can Yi will rank among the top True Monarchs within Daqian!

"Let us set aside such idle talk—come, I will take you to see the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison."

Liang Wang rose, flicked his sleeve, and brought Xu Yang, vanishing from the room without a trace.

High above the void of Liangzhou.

Darkness infinite, vast beyond measure.

No boundaries—enough to make one's flesh crawl!

In the depths of this vast emptiness, a patch of flickering light suddenly emerged.

As they drew nearer, it revealed itself—a colossal mass of light, shaped like an elliptical bubble, spanning unmeasured distances of the void.

This bubble swelled and shivered ceaselessly—inside it, one could vaguely make out chaotic, twisting storms of every color, disasters raging madly within.

Within those storms, all was wholly indistinct—nothing discernible!

Xu Yang and Liang Wang materialized at the bubble's edge out of thin air.

Gazing at it, Xu Yang felt a chill flood his body—every hair standing on end!

"This is the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison?"

"Hiss—"

The formless aura alone made him feel as if facing a doomsday cataclysm—like countless True Monarchs self-detonating, unleashing storms of annihilation raging within that very bubble.

"The Celestial Prison is cocooned within this bubble!"

Liang Wang pointed inside: "Within the prison, countless secret realms self-form—each realm imprisons a mighty existence, allowed to run rampant as it wills within!"

"But with this accident, some secret realms have shattered, others merged. The beings within cannot escape, but they can now communicate with one another."

"Of course, many perished because of this as well!"

"With your strength, even aided by Gu Jun, it is nearly impossible to reach the prison's core!"

"The edge will suffice," Xu Yang licked his lips, eyes glittering with excitement.

Just the sight of the chaotic disasters and storms from outside made his heart race.

If the Chaotic Void Celestial Saber could reach perfection—even if not matching the heavens themselves—it would become a force of terror.

"Prince, those existences within—are they all creatures of this world?" Xu Yang suddenly recalled some words of Can Yunxiao and could not help but ask.

Liang Wang chuckled, flicking his finger.

Hum—

On the surface of the bubble, ripples suddenly appeared.

As the ripples spread, a vast curtain of light unfolded before the two of them.

Xu Yang fixed his eyes on it; within the screen were myriad regions, each projecting its own scene.

The first thing to catch Xu Yang's gaze was a burly figure writhing and rampaging within the tempests.

"That's a Barbarian—though not the current kind; he bears Barbarian blood, as well as that of a demon beast. Most of the time, his beastly side dominates—ferocious and savage!"

"He appears human, yet is neither man nor beast!"

As Liang Wang's voice faded, the burly figure in the storm suddenly roared—inky scales flooded his skin, both hands twisted into brutal bone blades, and a razor-edged bone tail sprouted from his back!

Hua!

He actually tore the storm asunder.

But in that realm, even more terrifying storms of disaster enveloped him again and again.

Ceaselessly ravaging, ceaseless torment!

Xu Yang's scalp prickled at the sight.

"This one—an enraptured power, a human, relatively normal."

"That one is a spirit body—a Taotie Evil Spirit. It feeds on the spiritual power of Martial Artists—long ago, it devoured in one breath the souls of countless people across several cities."

"That is a Sea Demon, called Illusion Demon—a creature of transformations, often appearing as a beautiful woman to seduce, then devour the victim's organs!"

...

Xu Yang was left gaping in shock.

All this utterly opened his eyes, broadening his horizons.

That evil spirit—naught but a mass of black fog!

That sea demon—a fish's body, a human face.

And still, there were savage ancient beasts such as he had never seen!

"Prince, why are there none of these creatures in the world today?" Xu Yang asked in wonder, his gaze filled with doubts.

Liang Wang smiled: "They were all long since exterminated."
