I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

Behind the door was a downward jade staircase.

It's not long, just over a hundred levels.

Li Hanshan walked down step by step, and for some reason, the vigilance in his heart gradually turned into an almost solemn silence.

At the end of the jade steps, a bright and open space suddenly appeared.

-

treasure house.

Li Hanshan stood at the entrance, not taking a step for a long time.

Big.

too big.

This was an underground treasure trove that far exceeded his imagination. The dome was over a thousand feet high and stretched as far as the eye could see. At a rough glance, it was probably more than a hundred times larger than the main hall—the Yaoguang Sect had actually carved out a small world inside the belly of the main peak.

This little world contained only four things.

Spirit stone.

Ritual implements.

Talisman.

Array device.

On the far left, the spirit stones are piled up into mountains.

Low-grade spirit stones were piled up like mountains and seas, mid-grade spirit stones were stacked into hills and valleys, and high-grade spirit stones were sealed in jade boxes, stacked into high walls. Deeper inside, on several white jade platforms, each one was enshrined as a crystal clear, almost transparent spirit stone—a top-grade spirit stone, each one exuding a breathtakingly pure spiritual energy.

Li Hanshan made a rough estimate, then silently gave up on the estimation.

It's impossible to calculate.

There are probably hundreds of billions of high-grade spirit stones alone.

What does this mean? Back then, the price offered to him by the Heavenly Mystery Sect was 300,000 high-grade spirit stones a year, which was enough for any rogue cultivator in the Central Continent to fight tooth and nail for.

And this place is enough to sustain us for thousands of years.

In the middle is a ritual implement.

Rows of black iron wooden shelves stretched to the horizon, displaying swords, spears, halberds, bells, tripods, mirrors, and seals, their spiritual light subdued, lying quietly for eight thousand years. The lowest grade items were at least fifth-grade, with sixth- and seventh-grade treasures twinkling deep within the shelves like an inverted galaxy.

On the right is a talisman.

Boxes, warehouses, mountains.

Attack talismans, defense talismans, escape talismans, sealing talismans... stacked neatly, ranging in rank from fourth to seventh. Li Hanshan casually lifted a box, and a large stack of sixth-rank spirit talismans lay quietly inside, lightning patterns dancing on the talisman paper—eight thousand years had passed, yet their spiritual essence remained undiminished.

Li Hanshan stood at the door, his throat feeling dry.

He didn't consider himself a naive person. He had cultivated the Flowing Light Array of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Immortal Alliance, and he had even personally severed the primordial spirit of a Dao Integration Grandmaster.

Yet the treasure trove before him still gave him a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

This is not a sect's storeroom.

This is the legacy of an entire era.

It was the entire legacy that the Yaoguang Sect of eight thousand years ago—the Yaoguang Sect that possessed a Mahayana master and more than ten Dao-harmonizing masters—hastily gathered together on the eve of its destruction.

And this treasure trove now belongs to the Li family.

"Girl, oh girl..." Li Hanshan murmured to himself, "This gift you gave is far too extravagant."

-

However, what truly caused him to stop breathing was that thing at the very center of the treasure vault.

In the very center, surrounded by four precious mountains, a white jade round platform stands quietly.

On the round platform, there was a complete set of array artifacts.

There are twelve array flags, twelve in each set, totaling one hundred and forty-four. Each flag is only the size of a palm, entirely silver-white, and the runes on its surface are so intricate they are dizzying. In the center of the array flags, an array plate slowly rotates with a faint light, its spiritual energy circulating in a self-contained cycle, remaining as new as ever for millennia.

A complete set.

Complete and intact.

Li Hanshan walked forward step by step, his pace slowing down as he went, his heart beating faster and faster.

This structure...

The direction of this spiritual energy loop...

This resonant way of echoing each other...

He spent several years studying the same set of array flags on the island of the Immortal Alliance, deep underground in a huge mountain range.

Flowing Light Array.

This is actually a Flowing Light Array!

It's just a smaller version of the Radiant Array.

The Immortal Alliance's array base was buried deep in the mountains, with twelve array flags over ten zhang high, covering the entire immortal island and accelerating the speed by three to five times. This set, however, had array flags only the size of a palm, covering an area barely large enough for a single cave dwelling, but it was complete!

A complete set of Radiant Arrays sat quietly here, waiting for him to retrieve it.

Li Hanshan circled the white jade platform three times, becoming increasingly astonished and excited with each look.

Portable, complete, covering an entire cave dwelling—and filled with this warehouse of spirit stones…

What does this mean?

This means that from now on, time will accelerate, and he can drive as fast as he wants, however fast he wants.

This means that the debt he incurred due to breaking through three layers and having a weak foundation can be repaid at a speed of ten or a hundred times.

This means that all his women and his crew can benefit from the Radiant Array.

"Good stuff..." Li Hanshan rubbed his hands together, then touched his nose somewhat guiltily.

He had sworn an oath to the Immortal Alliance, vowing never to reveal any details of the Flowing Light Array.

But then he thought again—the oath mentioned the "Immortal Alliance's Flowing Light Array." The one he had now was the authentic one from the Yao Guang Sect, so what did it have to do with the Immortal Alliance's incomplete array?

Li Hanshan comfortably suppressed his guilty conscience.

-

Next to the round platform, there is something else.

A jade slip.

It is milky white all over, warm and smooth like water, quietly suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating.

Unlike the treasures that filled the warehouse with their dazzling spiritual light, this jade slip had no imposing presence whatsoever; it was just ordinary, as if someone had casually placed it here.

However, it was floating in the very center of the entire treasure vault—directly above the array plate of the Flowing Light Array platform.

Li Hanshan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

He reached out and gently grasped the jade slip in his palm.

Divine senses probed in.

hum-

A flower in front of you.

When I regained my senses, I found myself in a vast, white world. There was no sky, no earth, no sun, no moon, only a gentle, pure white expanse.

In the center of the vast white sky and earth, stood a person.

The girl in the yellow dress, barefoot, stood with her back to him, looking up at the white void.

Seemingly noticing the movement behind her, she turned around.

The moment she saw who it was, the girl's clear eyes curved into two crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth gradually lifted, her eyes crinkling with laughter, as if she had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

"uncle."

"You've arrived."
