Is everything within the Chaotic Treasure Box?
Only...
How is the Chaotic Treasure Box to be opened?
Bai Zihe couldn't help but play with the Chaotic Treasure Box in his hand.
He had tried countless times, in various ways, to open this box, but each attempt ended in failure.
This box...
It was passed down from his mother.
Thinking of this, Bai Zihe's heart stirred—perhaps, he had overlooked a crucial piece of information all along.
This box...
It was from his mother's family.
Therefore, his mother's family must have a way to open it.
Although the Lin family was destroyed in the disaster, there might still be other information and clues to open this Chaotic Treasure Box.
For example...
In the mysterious ancient tomb of the Path of Life and Death, there was the Blood of Hell, and that old servant of the Lin family who died helping him open the barrier!
At this thought, Bai Zihe's mind began to stir.
"Thank you!"
Bai Zihe knew that the Chaotic Qi had a simple consciousness, so he bowed and thanked it, then left the Three Sage Emperors' Cave.
He headed straight for the Shangjing Military Headquarters.
Although he had made some discoveries in the Path of Life and Death last time, there were still some areas he hadn't explored deeply.
This time, he would explore it thoroughly.
For the Lin family.
And for the Chaotic Treasure Box!
"Whoosh..."
A streak of light flashed across the sky, and Bai Zihe, flying on his sword, quickly arrived at the Military Department.
"Who are you!"
Before he could enter, Bai Zihe was stopped by the guards at the entrance.
With the current situation and the approaching darkness, security had been tightened everywhere, and the Military Department had naturally reinforced its defenses.
Bai Zihe frowned slightly, too lazy to argue with him, and with a flash, he darted inside.
"Hmm?"
"This..."
"Where is he?"
The guards looked at each other in confusion.
Then, they immediately reported to the highest level.
"Whoosh..."
Qian Yuanshan, the Minister of the Military Department, immediately came out: "What happened?"
"Minister Qian..."
"Someone just descended from the sky and appeared before us. We asked him who he was, and then he disappeared."
Qian Yuanshan frowned: "Disappeared?"
"Yes!"
"He just vanished."
"He must be a cultivator of great power."
The guards spoke one after another.
Cultivator!
Ordinary people were no longer unfamiliar with these two words.
"What did this person look like?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuanshan immediately became solemn.
Zhuge Sheng had specifically instructed him to pay close attention to any cultivators appearing in Shangjing, and not to engage in conflict with them unless absolutely necessary.
"Qian Yuanshan, it's me."
Just then, a voice entered Qian Yuanshan's mind, it was Bai Zihe.
"Uh..."
"You don't need to say any more, I already know who has arrived."
Qian Yuanshan instructed the guards and then headed towards the Path of Life and Death.
Now...
He was already a master at the late stage of the Yuan Dan realm.
"Roar..."
A colossal white tiger suddenly leaped out from within.
"Little Tiger..."
"Not bad, you're almost at the Soul Transformation realm."
Seeing this creature, Bai Zihe suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
As Little Tiger ran, its body continuously shrunk, and soon it was only half the size of Bai Zihe.
It came to Bai Zihe and immediately crouched down, nuzzling him affectionately.
As a ferocious beast, Little Tiger's instincts were extremely sharp.
It could sense.
That Bai Zihe's current strength far surpassed his past self, and it dared not harbor any disloyalty, only submission, complete and utter submission.
"Elder Bai..."
Not long after, Qian Yuanshan arrived from outside.
Seeing this "harmonious" scene, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Who knew.
How ferocious this tiger usually was.
Yet now, before Bai Zihe, it was as obedient as a kitten...
A stark contrast!
Such a contrast!
"Minister Qian."
Bai Zihe said sternly: "I want to ask you, when the Lin family was destroyed and you took over this area, did you make any special discoveries?"
"Or..."
"Any extremely special places that you have thus far been unable to research or explore?"
Qian Yuanshan suddenly fell silent, his eyes flickering.
There was something!
"This..."
After a moment of struggle, Qian Yuanshan suddenly asked, "Brother Bai, can you tell me what your current strength is?"
Bai Zihe was slightly taken aback.
However, he replied truthfully: "I am at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing realm, ready to face the heavenly lightning tribulation at any moment."
"Hiss..."
Qian Yuanshan gasped, his expression becoming much more complex.
A moment later, he said, "There is indeed such a place, but we sealed it up long ago and dared not approach it."
Qian Yuanshan spoke very seriously.
And when he said this, there was a look of fear in his eyes!
"Quick, take me there!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zihe urged him on.
"Brother Bai..."
Qian Yuanshan said with a wry smile, "This place is actually at the end of the Path of Life and Death. There is a special realm there, and its very end is the place."
"However..."
"Anyone who comes out from there is an invincible master of the world."
"But how powerful they are, to speculate with my strength, is like a frog in a well, I cannot say for sure."
"However..."
"Based on my estimation, it should not be inferior to what you mentioned, the Tribulation Crossing realm."
There really was such a place!
"Thank you!"
Bai Zihe cupped his hands to him and then headed towards the place in his memory.
A moment later.
Bai Zihe arrived at the former cliff.
Here, things had changed greatly.
There were no chains.
There was no Old Lin.
Only the cold mist that never dissipated.
"Whoosh..."
Bai Zihe's spiritual sense swept out. With his current cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing realm, he indeed found some clues at the cliff.
"It's there!"
Upon understanding the situation, Bai Zihe immediately flew down on his sword to the cliff.
"Buzz..."
As soon as he approached, an extremely powerful will struck, like a massive wave that threatened to crush everything.
If Bai Zihe were not at the Tribulation Crossing realm, he would have suffered under this will.
However, Bai Zihe's current strength was not so fragile, and he easily withstood this onslaught of will.
"Huh?"
A surprised voice came from below.
It seemed as if the speaker had not expected Bai Zihe to be so strong, to be able to withstand his will without fear.
"Splash..."
Bai Zihe said nothing more. He lightly waved his right hand, clearing away the clouds and mist before him, finally revealing the true appearance beneath the cold mist.
On the sheer cliff face, ten thousand feet down, there was a cave.
At the entrance of the cave stood an ancient bronze door, and before the door sat a young man, clad in a green robe, with handsome features and an extraordinary bearing.
At this moment, the man was looking at him with surprise.
