Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Deep within a desolate, continuous mountain range on the Canglan Continent, countless golden points of light suddenly appeared out of thin air and then coalesced into the figure of Xia Jin.

"Is this the place?"

Xia Jin glanced around and soon her gaze fell on the mountain peak in the distance that looked as if it had been cut flat by a sharp blade.

With a gentle touch, the entire mountain peak shattered silently.

After all the smoke and dust dissipated, a magic circle emitting a faint golden glow appeared in mid-air.

At the very center of the formation, a golden flame mark slowly rotated.

Xia Jin slowly approached and carefully examined the golden mark.

"The bloodline imprint of the Golden Crow clan? No wonder that old demon said that no one without the Golden Crow bloodline could enter. This formation isn't meant to block outsiders; it only recognizes the aura of the Golden Crow bloodline."

He stretched out his palm and gently touched the golden mark with his fingertips.

The moment they made contact, Xia Jin clearly felt the Eastern Emperor Bell in her sea of ​​consciousness tremble slightly, emitting a deep chime, as if it had created some kind of wonderful resonance with the mark.

Immediately afterwards, the golden mark suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire mountain range so brightly that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

A crack slowly appeared in the formation.

Xia Jin stepped inside without hesitation.

Upon entering, Xia Jin was somewhat surprised to find that it was a huge palace.

The palace's dome is extremely high, reaching several tens of feet, and is painted with a huge image of a golden crow chasing the sun.

Nine golden crows soar in the sky, each holding a blazing fire of the sun in its beak, lifelike in appearance.

Inside the palace, dozens of jade shelves were neatly arranged, displaying all sorts of treasures and ancient books.

Xia Jin looked around but didn't rush to touch the treasures on the jade shelves. Instead, she walked straight to the deepest part of the palace.

There, on a stone platform, a scroll floats above it.

Xia Jin walked to the stone platform, her gaze falling on the scroll, and she could no longer suppress the joy on her face.

"This is... the Hetu Luoshu?!"

For some reason, the name of this treasure naturally came to Xia Jin's mind.

It was as if some kind of inherited memory that had transcended countless years had been quietly awakened at this moment.

Xia Jin took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and reached out her hand to take it.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the surface of the scroll, a soft golden light suddenly shone from the scroll, like an invisible barrier, pushing his hand away.

That force wasn't domineering, but it carried an almost instinctive resistance, as if the Hetu Luoshu scroll was rejecting his touch.

Xia Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes turning somewhat cold.

"Hmm? Even if you are a priceless treasure, you have no right to refuse me."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an absolute air of dominance.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Jin exerted a little force with her right hand, and a power of the Mythical Realm poured out from her fingertips.

With a crisp cracking sound, the soft golden light turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

Xia Jin firmly grasped the scroll of the Hetu Luoshu in her hand, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.

"Hmph!! Now that the duck meat is right in front of me, how could I let it slip away for nothing?"

He held the Hetu Luoshu in his hand, and a vast torrent of information surged into his sea of ​​consciousness through his palm.

"open!"

Xia Jin let out a low shout and unhesitatingly activated his terrifying mythical power, pouring it into the Hetu Luoshu.

The scroll suddenly shuddered, then unfurled with a "whoosh," unleashing a torrent of golden light that instantly filled the entire palace.

A colossal array pattern suddenly appeared beneath Xia Jin's feet!

The formation was centered around the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams, with layers upon layers of patterns interwoven like a sky full of stars.

Within the formation, countless points of light flickered and shone, like real stars in motion, radiating a terrifying power capable of suppressing heaven and earth.

Xia Jin's eyes lit up, and the records of this treasure from her previous life's myths involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

When the Hetu and Luoshu are fully utilized, the most powerful formation of the demon race will appear.

The Great Celestial Array!

This is the strongest technique after the Hetu Luoshu is unleashed, using the power of stars to evolve the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

During attacks, the power of the celestial stars in the anime can be drawn to transform into supreme killing intent.

When defending, one can use the celestial bodies to create an impregnable fortress.

Capable of both offense and defense, and infinitely adaptable, it is one of the most advanced formations from the ancient mythological era.

"Within this Zhou Tian Star Array, it seems my strength can be enhanced even further?"

Xia Jin felt the operation of the vast array beneath her feet and couldn't help but marvel.

If you add to that the near-invincible defensive power of the Eastern Emperor Bell within your sea of ​​consciousness...

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his lips grew even wider.

With these two in hand, I am absolutely invincible from the start. Even if I face a more powerful enemy in the future, I will have full confidence.

"receive."

Xia Jin snapped her fingers lightly.

The Zhou Tian Star Array beneath their feet dissipated in response, and the starlight receded like a tide, returning to the Hetu Luoshu.

The Hetu and Luoshu returned to their original forms, lying quietly in his palm.

Xia Jin looked down at the Hetu Luoshu in her hand, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Thus, the demon race's only two supreme treasures, the Eastern Emperor Bell and the River Chart and Luo Book, both fell into their hands.

"It seems this is fate! Although I do not wish to become the emperor of any demon race, since I have received your benefits, I must understand the cause and effect!"

"Very well!! I, the king, will reluctantly grant you demons your protection!"

Xia Jin raised her head and looked around at the neatly arranged jade shelves in the palace.

"Since you're here, take them all with you. Otherwise, leaving these treasures here will only lead to their ruin."

He took a deep breath downwards, and an invisible suction force instantly enveloped the entire palace.

The treasures on the jade shelves flew up one after another, continuously pouring into his sea of ​​consciousness.

In less than three breaths, the once dazzling palace was completely emptied, leaving only the empty jade frame and the dome painted with the image of a golden crow chasing the sun.

Xia Jin withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, her body trembled slightly, and she once again transformed into countless tiny golden specks of light, dissipating into the palace.

Inside the main hall of Ape King Mountain, it remained very quiet even after Xia Jin left.

The White Ape King paced back and forth in the hall, his massive, mountain-like body making no attempt to conceal his unease.

Although the Great Demon of the Goat was old, he was relatively calm.

But the tension in his eyes couldn't be hidden from anyone.

After a long silence, the White Ape King finally spoke, his voice tinged with trepidation:

"Uncle-Master... do you think that fellow Daoist will really agree?"

After regaining his senses, the Great Demon of the Goat pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Since he has already gone to the treasure vault, if he has truly obtained that supreme treasure, given his cultivation level, he should not go back on his word."

"After all, he is a Saint Realm expert. If he doesn't keep his word, he will definitely suffer the consequences."

"Uncle-Master, what if that fellow Daoist didn't obtain it? Or what if there wasn't any treasure in that vault at all?"
