The blue giant axe wielded by the Blue Giant was merely a top-grade Dao artifact, not a Heavenly Dao artifact.
"Have we reached the end of the Chaos Sea? We actually encountered other races," Wang Ruyan asked.
"No, this isn't the end of the Chaos Sea; we just encountered other races," Wang Changsheng replied. "The Arsenic Sea Race is only one of them."
The Blue Giant had become a Dao Venerable less than four hundred million years ago. During this time, many Dao Ancestors from the Immortal Realm had crossed the Chaos Sea and were killed by the Blue Giant.
"Why doesn't he go to the Immortal Realm?" Wang Ruyan asked, puzzled.
"The Chaos Sea contains many powerful entities and numerous restrictions," Wang Changsheng explained. "He once tried to cross the Chaos Sea to reach the Immortal Realm, but suffered heavy losses and was injured himself, so he gave up. That top-grade Dao artifact was obtained from a dangerous place."
"A dangerous place?" Wang Ruyan was slightly taken aback.
"Strictly speaking, it's a continent with numerous restrictions. Perhaps it's the cultivation ground of a certain Dao Venerable," Wang Changsheng said. "Let's go take a look; we might find some good things." He then reached out his hand into the void below, and a blue storage bracelet flew out of the sea into his grasp.
His divine sense swept over it, and he said, "For a Dao Venerable, they aren't much richer than the Dao Ancestors of the Immortal Realm."
At this moment, Wang Qingcheng returned, piloting the Cyan Lotus Immortal Island.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan returned to the Cyan Lotus Immortal Island, and the Cyan Lotus Immortal Island flew southwest.
Half a month later, the Cyan Lotus Immortal Island stopped above a vast, boundless azure sea. Ahead lay a continent, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Wang Ruyan activated her True Fiery Eyes to investigate the continent's condition.
"There are indeed many restrictions," Wang Ruyan said. "There are broken formation flags. These are not natural restrictions!"
"We'll go investigate; you all stay here," Wang Changsheng instructed, then flew towards the continent with Wang Ruyan.
After flying for millions of trillions of miles, they stopped. Ahead, they could see a vast amount of slender green light. This green light, like an iron cage, sealed off an entire area.
"I am Wang Changsheng. May I know which fellow Daoist is cultivating here? Would you be willing to show yourself?" Wang Changsheng said courteously.
His answer was silence. It seemed the cave's master had passed away.
Wang Changsheng punched out, and a giant green fist shot forth. Upon contact with the green light, it instantly dispersed.
Wang Ruyan pushed her True Fiery Eyes to their limit, pointed to a certain area, and said, "That's a weak point."
Wang Changsheng punched out again, and a giant golden fist shot forth, imbued with over thirty kinds of Great Dao power, striking a large expanse of green light.
A vast amount of green light twisted and deformed, then rapidly dispersed.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were not in a hurry; they waited patiently.
An hour later, the green light reappeared, sealing the gap.
Wang Changsheng tried several times, but found the result was the same.
"The ability to self-repair indicates that the formation is still active, but the cave's master should no longer be here," Wang Ruyan analyzed.
Wang Changsheng summoned a fifth-tier immortal puppet and controlled it to fly into the gap, appearing in a vast, boundless wasteland. The wasteland was barren and desolate, with not a blade of grass.
As the immortal puppet advanced ten thousand miles, a deafening peal of thunder echoed from high above. An incredibly thick immortal lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking towards the immortal puppet.
The immortal puppet swiftly retreated, avoiding the lightning bolt. However, a second lightning bolt struck quickly thereafter.
At the same time, a powerful gravitational force emerged from the ground, causing the immortal puppet to fall uncontrollably towards the ground. The immortal lightning struck the puppet, and lightning engulfed it.
When the lightning dissipated, the immortal puppet had vanished.
"Lightning of the Great Dao! A sixth-tier immortal formation! It truly is the cultivation cave of a Dao Venerable who passed away here!" Wang Ruyan's expression grew solemn.
"Since that's the case," Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice, "let's try to break through ourselves. Hopefully, we can get some good things."
He and Wang Ruyan flew through the gap. Shortly after they appeared above the wasteland, thunder rumbled from high above, and two thick bolts of Great Dao lightning struck down, heading straight for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan activated their Great Dao power to resist. Rumbling explosions resonated, and various immortal lights flared in the sky.
They slowly walked forward. More and more Great Dao lightning bolts descended, growing increasingly powerful. However, they resisted together, remaining unharmed.
Half a day later, they arrived at a steep peak. At the foot of the mountain was a nine-colored light barrier several zhang wide. On the surface of the nine-colored light barrier, nine golden light spots shimmered brightly.
Wang Changsheng punched out, and a giant golden fist shot forth, imbued with over thirty kinds of Great Dao power. It struck the nine-colored light barrier, producing a dull thud, but the nine-colored light barrier remained motionless.
"Interesting! Let's attack together!" Wang Changsheng said.
He and Wang Ruyan activated their Great Dao power to attack the nine-colored light barrier.
A series of massive explosions erupted. Seven days and seven nights passed, but the nine-colored light barrier showed no abnormality.
"As expected of a sixth-tier immortal formation!" Wang Ruyan said, frowning. "This person's identity must be extraordinary."
Wang Changsheng stepped forward and slammed his fist onto the nine-colored light barrier. The nine-colored light barrier dented inwards.
"It works a bit! It seems brute force is this formation's weakness," Wang Changsheng said, then took out eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Beads. Holding nine beads in each hand, he smashed them towards the nine-colored light barrier.
After a massive crash, the spiritual light of the nine-colored light barrier dimmed, and it soon shattered. A cave entrance, several zhang wide, appeared.
Wang Changsheng fully unleashed his divine sense, but found no abnormalities. He released a fifth-tier immortal puppet, which walked in, and still nothing unusual happened. Only then did they enter.
After walking over a hundred steps, they reached the end, appearing in a cave about one mu in size. Inside the cave lay a skeleton. There were clearly visible cracks on the sternum and skull of the skeleton, and its left hand bone was missing.
The right hand bone wore a golden storage bracelet, and a cyan formation plate lay scattered on the ground.
The surface of the formation plate had multiple indentations, and each indentation contained a silver-white stone.
Wang Changsheng activated his Soul Great Dao to investigate, finding no abnormalities. Only then did he step forward and take the golden storage bracelet.
He flicked his wrist, and a golden glow swept past. A large pile of items appeared on the ground, among which a golden, shimmering short sword caught their attention. There were also ores, immortal medicines, jade slips, maps, and other items.
They carefully examined the contents of each jade slip, searching for clues.
"The Divine Race! It's actually a Dao Venerable from the Divine Race. How did he end up here?" Wang Ruyan asked, puzzled.
Several jade slips mentioned the Divine Race, so it was highly probable that this person came from the Divine Race. The golden short sword was a Heavenly Dao artifact.
They found over a dozen types of Great Dao origins, but no Great Dao seeds. There was also a map with some characters they didn't recognize, possibly Divine Race script or special markings. The map was very likely this person's route across the Chaos Sea.
"It's unclear," Wang Changsheng said with a hint of relief. "Perhaps he was exploring the Chaos Sea. It's a good thing he died. If this person hadn't died and had reached the Immortal Realm alive, it would have been another catastrophe for the Immortal Realm."
