"I can finally go to the Lingbao Pavilion!" Upon hearing this news, Gu Chen's spirit was instantly uplifted.

After all, his original purpose for coming to the Qingyun Academy was to find the second piece of the broken jade.

And on the first day of his arrival at the Academy, he had an indistinct feeling through the first piece of broken jade that the second piece he was looking for was in the Academy's important area, the Lingbao Pavilion.

However, since he lacked merit, he couldn't barge in, so he had been patiently waiting all this time without attempting to explore further.

Now that the opportunity had arrived and he had the merit, Gu Chen naturally wouldn't give up.

"Assistant Teacher, I wish to visit the Academy's Lingbao Pavilion," Gu Chen promptly said.

"Certainly."

Yu Xi nodded. The Qingyun Academy's legacy was long-standing, its origins from the previous grand era of the Azure Cloud Sky, containing various treasures and opportunities. Otherwise, it wouldn't attract geniuses from all ten regions every time it opened.

The Lingbao Pavilion, in particular, was a place coveted by all geniuses. It was within Yu Xi's expectations, and those of the Academy's senior ranks, that Gu Chen would make such a request.

Soon, under Assistant Teacher Yu Xi's guidance, Gu Chen arrived in front of the Lingbao Pavilion.

This was a massive pavilion, its entirety shimmering with an ancient charm, with soaring eaves and well-ordered patterns, standing about a dozen zhang tall, giving off a sense of ageless sedimentation.

In fact, it was just so. This was an extraordinary treasure from the Azure Cloud Sky, said to house various mysteries unknown to outsiders.

"This is the token for passing through the Lingbao Pavilion." Assistant Teacher Yu Xi handed a token to Gu Chen and informed him that without this so-called pass, if someone tried to forcibly enter the Lingbao Pavilion, they would be turned to ashes by the formation here in an instant, even Great Powers.

"It's so terrifying?!" Gu Chen was shocked, and at the same time, secretly relieved that he hadn't done anything improper in secret before.

Then, holding the token, Gu Chen entered alone, successfully stepping inside.

Hum!

In an instant, light and shadows changed, and his vision twisted. Gu Chen found himself in an extremely vast space.

"The Lingbao Pavilion does indeed form a space of its own," Gu Chen started to look around.

He was in a spacious hall, simple and primitive, with the floor in gray and white, surrounded by countless rooms, each with a corresponding plaque inscribed with characters.

A large amount of pills and weapons, along with various oddities, were sorted into categories, arranged according to their respective levels.

"According to what Assistant Teacher Yu Xi said, I have the chance to choose from among spirit herbs under ten thousand years old, as well as various oddities, and even supreme spirit treasures that have reached extremity," Gu Chen surveyed one room after another around him.

Without the appropriate token, even if someone forced their way into the Lingbao Pavilion, these rooms simply couldn't be opened.

Of course, even for someone with a token like Gu Chen, many rooms still couldn't be opened because of the formation here due to insufficient authority.

"The second piece of broken jade is indeed here!" Gu Chen closed his eyes for a moment, using his spiritual perception with the broken jade in his possession, and indeed, he made a discovery.

His gaze shifted, staring into the deepest part of the Lingbao Pavilion; as expected, the second piece of broken jade was there!

However, the deeper he looked, the more he noticed strands of gray mist seeping through, obscuring his vision.

He did not use his Heavenly Eye because he knew that with the status of the Lingbao Pavilion and the formations here, even if he used his Heavenly Eye, which had reached the sixth rank, he would still be unable to see through, and it might even alert others.

"Being placed in the deepest part signifies the importance of this treasure." Gu Chen frowned slightly, sensing some difficulty.

According to Assistant Teacher Yu Xi, the treasures in the deepest parts of the Lingbao Pavilion were all extraordinary and extremely expensive. Some treasures couldn't even be measured in terms of value, such as holy artifacts!

Gu Chen initially harbored some hope that if Qingyun Academy hadn't realized the special nature of the second piece of broken jade, he might be able to cleverly exchange it out of the Lingbao Pavilion.

But now, it seems it's no longer possible.

Qingyun Academy might not know the specific function of the second piece of the jade fragment, but they definitely consider it extremely precious, which is why it's stored in the deepest part of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

"This is a bit troublesome," Gu Chen frowned, realizing that he might not be able to obtain the second jade fragment easily.

"However, if I have enough merit, it's not impossible," Gu Chen thought to himself.

As things stand, if he wanted to obtain the jade fragment, it seemed he could only devise a way to make a name for himself in Qingyun Academy and then strive to earn more merit.

Therefore, this time Gu Chen didn't choose to exchange for anything. After confirming that the second jade fragment was indeed here, he left the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and departed from the place.

For spirit medicines below ten thousand years old, he had those aged nine thousand years. Although he had consumed quite a bit to reach the limit of the Cave Heaven Realm, and even to break through that limit and transform into a divine being, he still had a surplus.

Moreover, he had a lot of Heavenly Origin Liquid. Although regular consumption had rendered it no longer beneficial for increasing his power, it still had significant effects on healing injuries and nurturing the primordial spirit.

Of course, more importantly, Gu Chen was saving his merit for exchanging the second jade fragment in the future, which is why he hadn't spent any.

"Post-heaven extreme spirit treasures are indeed very powerful. They're usually wielded by those Great Powers of the sky realms, where they can unleash their full potential. If I ever get the chance to let the mysterious gauntlets absorb one, it could definitely advance it by a considerable margin," Gu Chen silently contemplated.

In the following period, Gu Chen's life entered a tranquil phase; everyone in Qingyun Academy was immersed in arduous cultivation.

...

In the Gray Domain, the capital of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

Time passed, and even though the Gray Domain was separated from the East Profound Region by more than a dozen realm domains, the chain of events caused by the disturbances at the Evil King Mountain in the Forbidden Zone of Life still caused immense ripples throughout the Gray Domain.

Many holy lands, including the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the four great foreign races, were greatly shaken after receiving the news.

Fortunately, since the Gray Domain had no Forbidden Zone of Life on its own soil, it provided some peace of mind to the populace.

After all, in terms of overall strength, the Gray Domain was far inferior to the East Profound Region.

This time, after several months of intense cultivation, Gu Yan, the crown prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, had also made significant progress in his cultivation.

Of course, much of this was not due to his own talent but rather because of the evil demon inside him.

For this reason, Gu Yan's demeanor had become increasingly gloomy, with black qi swirling in his eyes from time to time.

Of course, when facing others, he would still pretend to be completely unaffected, making it difficult for anyone to see through him.

One day, in the East Palace, dressed in a black robe, Gu Yan was meditating with closed eyes when one of his confidants suddenly rushed in.

"Your Highness, the information you asked me to find about Gu Jiuge has yielded some clues!" this person said respectfully with a fist clasped.

"Hmm?"

As soon as the three words "Gu Jiuge" were spoken, the temperature of the place suddenly dropped sharply, with strands of black qi appearing out of nowhere, carrying a chilly and eerie aura.

In an instant, the place felt as if it had plunged into the netherworld.

During this time, Gu Yan hadn't forgotten the humiliation that Gu Chen had brought upon him, he was determined to discover Gu Chen's whereabouts and carry out an absolute assassination.

"Speak!" Gu Yan said coldly, with an icy and stern tone.

Hearing this, the confidant immediately said in a deep voice: "To report to Your Highness, after extensive investigations and utilizing the power of the holy gates, we have finally found some leads. Now, that Gu Jiuge is in the East Profound Region, disguised as Gu Bai, and has joined Qingyun Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan's head shot up, his gaze fierce. A massive shadow of a demon appeared behind him; the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and killing intent spread across the sky.
