Chapter 568: Chapter 232: Battle with the Terminal Daoist, Obtaining the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device

The Palace Master of Diezhi Palace, Celestial Venerable Nanshuo, had been waiting early.

Seeing Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, the Little Leisurely Official, shoot straight from the sky along a beam of light and land calmly without causing any ripples outside the mountain gate, Nanshuo hurried forward,

"Nanshuo of Diezhi Palace greets Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, the Little Leisurely Official."

Yu Chen waved his hand casually and then stepped into the mountain gate, glancing around at the various palace immortal towers, spirit plant immortal beasts, and treasured formations of Diezhi Palace. He smiled,

"Nanshuo, you’ve managed well over the years."

Nanshuo nodded slightly and chuckled, "It’s because the cultivators of Rain Dragon Continent are outstanding enough."

Yu Chen strode forward, speaking as he walked, "I’ve already taken a look at the Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea."

Nanshuo impatiently asked, "What does Celestial Venerable Yu Chen think?"

"Those strange thunders have vanished without a trace, not leaving even a single mark. The entire sea area has become no different from an ordinary sea, and due to recent clearance, the flow of qi and the extent of dao circulation are quite high."

Nanshuo rejoiced, "So, does it have high developmental value?"

Yu Chen smiled faintly, "The development potential is high."

Seeing this expression, Nanshuo hesitated slightly and asked earnestly, "Does Celestial Venerable Yu Chen see any issues?"

"The times are turbulent, and the situation is hard to determine. The Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea had existed for over twenty thousand years, and its sudden disappearance is unusual, with endless hidden dangers."

"Should we find out why the Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea disappeared?" Nanshuo’s heart sank slightly.

Yu Chen nodded, "During the Fallen Immortal Land war, no movement can be overlooked, especially something this significant." He patted Nanshuo on the shoulder, smiling broadly, "But there’s no need to feel regretful. Before I came, I specially brought the ’Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device’ from Carefree Ancestor to figure out whether this matter could truly be resolved."

"The Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device!" Nanshuo’s heart pounded with excitement.

It’s one of the thirty-three innate treasures.

It can determine fortune and misfortune, define fate, and ascertain blessing and calamity.

As a heavy artifact of the White Jade Capital, it generally isn’t allowed to be taken outside. Unexpectedly, Carefree Ancestor was willing to use the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device for Rain Dragon Continent! Nanshuo’s spirits soared, thinking that the White Jade Capital truly hadn’t forgotten about Rain Dragon Continent. Although it’s not the weakest among the Nineteen Continents of the World, Rain Dragon Continent is remote and isolated, with a reputation comparable to the old Little South Continent.

Little South Continent’s reputation is now booming, making Rain Dragon Continent truly the least presence among the continents.

Yu Chen, smiling with narrowed eyes, said, "Nanshuo, the Three Elders Pavilion values this matter highly, so rest assured."

Nanshuo nodded repeatedly, "Did the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device find the cause of the Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea’s disappearance?"

Yu Chen flipped his right hand, revealing a mysterious treasure resembling both a windmill and an ink pot, floating in his palm. This was the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, and Nanshuo’s breathing quickened slightly. It’s said that ten thousand years ago, when the Dao Ancestor wandered the mortal world, creating numerous cave heaven blessed lands, it was through this artifact that they were found. During the demon extermination war, it was used to locate the lairs of the various Demon Lords.

Fine ink lines surged from a keyhole-like opening at the front of the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, like floating spun yarns.

After these ink lines extended about seven or eight inches, they submerged into space.

With Nanshuo’s abilities, he couldn’t perceive where the ink lines went. However, witnessing such a display, he vaguely sensed something and timidly asked,

"Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, does this mean... there’s a discovery at Diezhi Palace?"

Yu Chen stroked his beard, his gaze directed toward the Rain Dragon Waterfall behind Diezhi Palace. His brows furrowed slightly, his eyelids lowered, and the obscure and uncertain dao intent swirled within him. After a moment, he tilted his head and smiled, asking,

"Nanshuo, did your Diezhi Palace disciples take something from the Heaven-shaking Thunder Sea?"

Startled by these words, Nanshuo responded,

"How could that be! Diezhi Palace disciples certainly don’t possess such capabilities. Is Celestial Venerable Yu Chen mistaken?"

Yu Chen pinched his nose, amusement flickering in his eyes, "But the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device says that person is indeed here at Diezhi Palace."

Nanshuo thought Celestial Venerable Yu Chen suspected him of knowingly questioning, harboring ulterior motives, and quickly nodded, intending to explain.

Yu Chen waved his hand, the amusement in his eyes mostly faded, "Save it, I know your Diezhi Palace couldn’t do such a thing. Just a joke, look at how scared you are."

Nanshuo sulkily thought, this Little Leisurely Official has quite an odd temperament.

Yu Chen gazed at the Rain Dragon ordinary, murmuring softly, "Rain Dragon... Heaven’s thunder..." With a flip of his hand, he put away the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, a thick interest glowing in his eyes, "When did such a character appear in the world? Let me see you clearly!"

Then, the daoist robe on his body suddenly billowed, and a vast dao aura instantly covered the entire Diezhi Palace.

...

The image of Rain Dragon crossing the waterfall and celestial river played over and over in Fan Wubing’s mind.

With the assistance of the All Things Law Dao, he merged with the environment, participating in the surrounding motions of every grass, every stone, every droplet of water... all the rhythms of things. If space were likened to a water surface, then the movement of things would be ripples. Among the ripples, they collided, fused, and intertwined. Faintly, he could see the rhythmic trajectories of things. They had a vague sense of where they would be next, in what state.

Fan Wubing couldn’t help but wonder,

If this sense became clear, would it mean seeing the future scenes?

Even going so far as to actively partake in the rhythm of things, to alter their trajectories of change?
