"So this is the correct way to open it!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you, Fifteenth Senior Sister!"

Wang Wu quickly expressed his gratitude.

Senior Brother Su Rong just chuckled and said nothing, taking the Heaven and Earth Shield to comprehend it on his own.

Fifteenth Senior Sister, on the other hand, smiled silently, "Little Junior Brother, don’t rush to thank me. These three Immortal Artifacts were not easy to forge, and I’m only letting you choose one, not giving you all of them. We can’t break the rules."

"Of course, please rest assured, Senior Sister." Wang Wu said righteously.

At this moment, Lin Ran, with a wave of his hand, made three items float in midair, introducing them lightly: "The first Immortal Artifact is called the Soul-Fixing Needle. It’s an all-purpose artifact for both offense and defense, capable of finding weaknesses in an opponent’s Divine Soul and defending your own, it’s rather fitting."

"The second Immortal Artifact is called the Primordial Spirit Crown, which is purely for Divine Soul defense. The defense effect is twice that of the Soul-Fixing Needle, but it has no offensive capabilities."

"The third Immortal Artifact is called the Primordial Spirit Armor, suitable for Primordial Spirit Emergence. After all, divine thought emergence is a great harm with immense risk. Even we don’t dare to let all our Divine Soul Divine Thought leave the body, only a small amount can emerge. But this is not truly Primordial Spirit Emergence."

"It’s worth mentioning that in our Great Cultivation Realm, the only avenue we cultivate, whether it’s Divine Communication Dao Skill, Creation Immortal Body, evolving the Three Calamities or seeking Dao Longevity, these aspects are all excellent. At least in the past, I have ventured into three other realms and none can compare to ours, only our Divine Soul lags behind."

"Like the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Lantern Reflection Technique your Ninth Senior Brother just gifted you, it was plundered from a strange Cultivation Realm somewhat similar to ours but different in many ways. In that Cultivation Realm, the method of refining Divine Soul is outstanding. Their Heavenly Lantern Reflection Technique is very mystical, and it’s said they also have Primordial Immortal Artifacts."

"These three Immortal Artifacts of mine are actually imitations of Primordial Immortal Artifacts; their effect is only slightly better than none."

"Moreover, you and your Ninth Senior Brother are leading an expedition to another realm which should be this place called the Dao Fire Realm. Their cultivation foundation is completely different from ours, with the highest core being the Dao Fire illuminating, supplemented by the Divine Bell containing vast knowledge for resonance, akin to continuously climbing the Celestial Ladder to ultimately transcend oneself, mastering Great Divine Techniques, and becoming Dao Fire Immortals."

"In general, it is comparable to our Cultivation Realm. Our Daluo cannot reach them, and their Supreme Celestial Emperor cannot come here—"

"Supreme Celestial Emperor? Same realm as Daluo?"

Wang Wu was curious.

"That, I’m actually not very clear about because I’ve never encountered a Supreme Celestial Emperor. Those who meet a Supreme Celestial Emperor never have the chance to return, but it seems the Supreme Celestial Emperor is the ultimate of that Dao Fire structure. In any case, I can’t explain clearly right now, but once you go, you’ll understand."

"Additionally, while we can invade and explore their realm, that Dao Fire Immortal Realm can similarly invade and explore ours, but they seem very unsuited to our Spiritual Qi, none at all. It’s not that they can’t integrate; it’s that they don’t want to, because their Spiritual Qi seems to be artificially controlled, with its own ecological transformation rules. Those who can’t keep up with these rules will be eliminated."

Ninth Senior Sister explained much to Wang Wu and even brought out three Immortal Artifacts related to the Divine Soul, with an intention that goes without saying.

Wang Wu expressed his thanks and immediately chose the Primordial Spirit Crown. Regardless, doubling the defense is prudent before reaching for other aims.

At this time, he asked again, "Senior Sister, how long can we stay in the opposite Dao Fire Immortal Realm?"

"It’s not about how long you stay, but being repelled, cursed, and assimilated by their Immortal Realm ecology. Once you step in, it’s equivalent to facing two enemies simultaneously: one is the oppression and exclusion of the opposite Immortal Realm’s ecology, and the other is the resistance and discord within our Cultivation System. It’s like constantly standing on the edge of Qigong Deviation."

"So unless absolutely necessary, we do not wish to embark on expeditions to other realms. That’s also why the weakest members of an expedition team must be Taiyi Ninth Tier, and preferably all be Daluo."

"Of course, apart from this Dao Fire Realm, there’s another quite weak realm. You can visit it if you have the time."

Ninth Senior Sister was quite loquacious. When Su Rong finished comprehending the Sword Qi of the Dao Protection, it was her turn to comprehend.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Wu stepped out of the grand hall and immediately saw a familiar figure—Lu Wuchen, it had truly been a long time.

However, Lu Wuchen seemed to have known he was here and had come specifically to meet him, yet even so, his expression was somewhat complex.

"Wang Wu, it’s been a while. I never thought you’d reach such heights today."

"Likewise, I didn’t even know you were still alive." Wang Wu sneered.

"Have you still not let go of what happened back then?" Lu Wuchen sighed softly.

"Whether I’ve let go or not is not for you to decide. I won’t kill you, but you must kneel and confess."

Wang Wu waved his hand, taking out the altar tablets of the Four Clowns.

"Are you serious? You should know you’re not even a true Ancient Bear, your body hides the soul of a Human Race. Must you insist?"

Lu Wuchen’s expression was peculiar. Since he had cooperated with the Snake Emperor in a jailbreak attempt within the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, he had been taken by the Profound Celestial Sect without getting a chance to escape, and they had immediately uncovered everything. So he truly was surprised that this Little Bear had come so far and could now stand above him, becoming a bona fide Young Ancestral Master.

"Stop with the nonsense. I told you to kneel and apologize, and I’m already considering the face of the Profound Celestial Sect, or would you prefer I personally take action? Strike you with a sword?"

"Yes, I’ll comply!"

Lu Wuchen’s face changed slightly. Now, although he was Half-step Daluo and regarded as a notable cultivation talent within the Profound Celestial Sect, being an Astronomer Prophet after all, he admittedly knew he wasn’t a match for those three Supreme Elders, much less Wang Wu theoretically.

He dared not delay any longer. Having stalled this long without any Supreme Elder stepping out to mediate only meant this kneeling and apology was inevitable.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

At that moment, Lu Wuchen faithfully bowed nine times to the altar tablet inscribed with the Ancient Wilderness Bear Clan.

Only then was Wang Wu satisfied, saying, "You should be thankful you’re in the Profound Celestial Sect. More so, you should be grateful you and I are the last two escapees who came out of that Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, although you weren’t counted as an escapee, keeping you is like a keepsake for me."

"Speaking of which, it was the kid from the Thief Sect pretending to be you that I found pleasing to the eye."

Leaving this sentence, Wang Wu returned to the grand hall, while Lu Wuchen sighed lightly—to him, this matter was finally resolved, alleviating a burden on his heart.

This was initially a trivial matter, but when that Little Bear had grown into someone he had to look up to, it became of grave significance.

Thankfully.
