This is an extremely vast space, with a height of only about forty-nine zhang, but stretching forty-nine li in both the north-south and east-west directions! There are no walls around, only giant pillars that would take dozens of people to surround and vermilion railings, outside of which the Two Books of Precepts swirl, emanating boundless golden light. The interior of the floor is paved with golden bricks, above which lies a thick cloud mist. The decorations everywhere are intricately carved, lavishly adorned with gold and jade, appearing opulent and magnificent. In the central area is a huge stone platform about nine zhang high, with a total of ninety-nine levels. The sorcerer Shi Zhiming slightly narrowed his pupils at this moment, for he saw a woman in a flowing white dress gracefully ascending the golden and jade-encrusted stone platform. This woman had managed to bypass the layers of forbidden techniques and rules inside the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, arriving directly at the top level of the Divine Cloud Tower. Shi Zhiming couldn’t help but let out a light snort, "It’s actually you!" He knew that those rabble from the Chan Sect would never honestly abide by the rules set by the Divine Turtle Wanderer. The woman in the white dress turned back to look at him. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, then she chuckled, "I wondered who could bypass the rules of the Two Books of Precepts; turns out it’s the Master of Time, Zhu Guangyin!" While speaking, the woman in the white dress turned her body, looking down at Shi Zhiming condescendingly, "You seem determined to stop me, but with your current power, I’m afraid you can’t." "Your true form can’t enter the Mortal World either, so how could you be stronger than me?" As he spoke, Shi Zhiming shifted his gaze to the top of the stone platform. Upon seeing the object above, he couldn’t help but sigh; "Who would have thought he hid this thing here, in a mere secret realm created by a mortal sorcerer, truly unexpected. I said it, that Chan Sect Supreme couldn’t have acted without reason." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novelꜰire.net "That’s where you’re wrong." The woman in the white dress shook her head, "The Divine Turtle Wanderer is merely a half-demon who achieved near-god accomplishments after meeting that person. Everything arranged in the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace was by command." "A sorcerer unable to cultivate ’Mediate Creation,’ how can he talk about being near-god?" Shi Zhiming’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm, "I don’t care about the specifics, only one thing you got right. I will never let these things fall into your hands." As he spoke, Shi Zhiming actively removed his Wall of Time and Temporal Vein. At the same time, he gathered a massive Time Hand to grasp at the woman in the white dress. "I’m indeed not your match now, but here, I don’t necessarily have to win." All he needed was to activate the senses of the Two Books of Precepts and the power of the treasure on the steps. As long as these three incomplete divine artifacts perceive someone breaking the rules, the woman in the white dress would fail spectacularly! Just as the Two Books of Precepts began to gather their vast thunder, the woman in the white dress smiled nonchalantly, "Zhu Guangyin, you’re still as cunning as ever, haven’t changed in a thousand years." She merely waved her hand lightly, and the massive Time Hand vanished. A powerful force enveloped Shi Zhiming, once again isolating them from the perception of the Two Books of Precepts. Shi Zhiming’s thoughts slightly sank. This is the ’Ruyi Skill,’ making all things in heaven and earth conform to her will. The little god from the Divine Desolation war has now acquired such formidable divine power. At this moment, the woman in the white dress also took out a small jade-white bottle, aiming its mouth at Shi Zhiming: "This is merely a subbody of my divine artifact, the Void Purification Bottle, but it’s more than enough to deal with you, Shi Zhiming." Shi Zhiming’s expression changed again. He felt as though everything about him was being ’purified,’ including his Primordial Spirit flesh, with everything not aligning with the woman’s intentions transforming into pure, spotless objects. Luckily, he had a backup plan. Just then, a fiery red sword light suddenly flashed behind him. This sword severed everything, continuously cutting through the Temporal Void, and also severed the woman’s purification technique, and broke off her Ruyi Skill. The woman in the white dress froze in disbelief, "Wood Sword Immortal?"
