Bai Ruiguang was bent over, rummaging through things, completely unaware that two people were hidden right beside him, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Li Yun was speechless.
"No way, what a coincidence. I only took three Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures and two broken steles, and one of them is exactly what Bai Ruiguang wants?"
"Then shouldn't I find a chance to return it?"
The Yunya Saintess also felt speechless; this was indeed quite a coincidence.
"There's nothing you can do. If what he's looking for is truly those two broken steles you took, you can only return them, otherwise, it might arouse his suspicion."
"But something's not right..."
"Earth Grade Divine Powers are indeed rare, but it's not easy to comprehend Earth Grade Divine Powers from that kind of broken stele, and even if you do, it's mostly incomplete."
"Bai Ruiguang himself entered the Dao with a low-grade Earth Grade Divine Power and evolved his Dharma Aspect... Why would he care so much about a broken stele that might not yield anything?"
Li Yun was just about to take out the broken stele.
Hearing the Yunya Saintess's words, he immediately felt a surge of curiosity.
"You mean, those two broken steles might not be simple?"
Thinking of this.
Li Yun quickly sent a wisp of his consciousness into the Heaven Origin Ring, directly locking onto the two broken steles.
He pondered on them slightly.
As expected, the System was triggered.
It quickly loaded two Divine Powers.
One was called 【Blazing Sun Scorching the World】.
One was called 【Sun and Moon Immeasurable】.
Seeing the names of these two Divine Powers, Li Yun was startled. How were these also related to the sun and moon? Was it too much of a coincidence?
Previously.
Li Yun had obtained this kind of broken stele through a transaction with the Cloud Firmament Taoist via the Spiritual Mind Dao Palace.
He had previously obtained two Divine Powers, 【Great Sun Illuminates a Thousand Autumns】 and 【Moon Rising Over the Sea】, both of which were also related to the sun and moon.
They were both broken steles, and both contained Divine Powers related to the sun and moon.
Could it be that these Divine Powers all originated from the same source?
Thinking of this.
Li Yun couldn't help but have some thoughts, especially regarding the 【Sun and Moon Immeasurable】 Divine Power, which loaded slower and was clearly more Advanced.
Most importantly, it seemed to be the only one among the four Divine Powers that was related to both the sun and the moon simultaneously.
It's possible that the Divine Power Bai Ruiguang was looking for was this one.
But was there anything special about this Divine Power?
Li Yun thought about it again. Since the Divine Power was already obtained, all that was left was to wait for it to load.
There was no need to keep holding onto the broken stele.
So, while Bai Ruiguang was engrossed in his search, he quietly placed the two broken steles in a corner.
Then he retreated to the side and watched quietly.
As expected—
After about another five minutes, Bai Ruiguang rummaged through the corner and saw the two broken steles, his face instantly filling with joy. He had no idea that these two broken steles had just been placed there by someone.
"Found them, finally found them... I hope it's truly as they said..."
Having obtained the broken steles, Bai Ruiguang couldn't wait to start comprehending them on the spot.
But the first one was clearly not what he wanted.
After only comprehending it for a moment, Bai Ruiguang discarded it like trash, carelessly tossing it aside. Meanwhile, Li Yun noticed that this broken stele was precisely the one containing the 【Blazing Sun Scorching the World】 Divine Power.
Bai Ruiguang picked up the other one, and after comprehending it for a while, he excitedly jumped up.
"Sun and moon across the sky, immeasurable Yuan law..."
"It truly is that Sun and Moon Immeasurable Divine Power! Heaven is helping me..."
Just at this moment.
Li Yun also noticed the Yunya Saintess's body suddenly stiffen.
She was clearly shocked as well.
"Holy Maiden Ruo, what's wrong? Is there anything special about this Sun and Moon Immeasurable Divine Power?"
The Yunya Saintess seemed not to have heard Li Yun's question.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Good heavens, Bai Ruiguang! I knew this old fellow couldn't be in such a hurry to find a broken stele that might not even yield a Divine Power. So it turns out it's this Sun and Moon Immeasurable Divine Power!"
The Yunya Saintess looked at Li Yun.
She said indignantly, "You don't know, although this Sun and Moon Immeasurable Divine Power is only Earth Grade, it is one of the foundational Divine Powers of the ancient sect, the Sun and Moon Divine Palace!"
"The Sun and Moon Divine Palace was destroyed many years ago under the invasion of the Netherworld of Demons. Only a core divine hall managed to escape during the chaos. Later, I found the location of this core divine hall."
"But the core divine hall could no longer be opened."
"So, I reported the location of the core divine hall to the Clan. Originally, I wanted to gather the Clan's strength to find a way to open the core divine hall."
"But later, for some unknown reason, this core divine hall mysteriously disappeared."
"At the time, I suspected foul play, but the Clan Head, Bai Tianhuang, flatly denied it. It was over this matter that I argued with Bai Tianhuang, and only afterward did I leave the White Emperor Family and subsequently suffered that sneak attack..."
"Now I understand!"
"The sudden disappearance of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace's core divine hall back then is likely related to Bai Ruiguang."
"This guy is in such a hurry to find this Sun and Moon Immeasurable Divine Power, probably because he wants to use this Divine Power to open that core divine hall!"
Li Yun was startled.
"Are you sure Sun and Moon Immeasurable can open the core divine hall?"
"Not completely sure, but there's a ninety percent chance!"
"The Sun and Moon Divine Art has disappeared, but the core divine hall itself didn't suffer any damage. Sun and Moon Immeasurable is also one of the foundational Divine Powers of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace. Both originate from the same source, so the possibility of opening the core divine hall with this Divine Power is too high."
"And after it's opened? What can be obtained after it's opened?"
The Yunya Saintess glanced at Li Yun.
"If the core divine hall of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace can be opened, one will obtain a high-grade Heaven Grade Divine Power, No Sun No Moon. That is the true world-suppressing inheritance of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace!"
"According to legend, cultivating this Divine Power to the extreme results in a state where there is no sun or moon in the sky, and time stands still!"
"One can touch upon a trace of the power of time!"
Li Yun's pupils suddenly contracted: "Touching upon a trace of the power of time, freezing time... Damn, is it that terrifying? Wouldn't that make one invincible?"
"Who in this world can resist the crushing force of time?"
"With such a Divine Power in hand, how could the Sun and Moon Divine Palace still be shattered by the Netherworld of Demons?"
The Yunya Saintess sighed, "It's not as simple as you think. The level of this No Sun No Moon Divine Power is too high. Looking across the Heavenly Ancient Continent, it's one of the few top-tier Divine Powers; even the Eight Great Holy Lands wouldn't dare underestimate it."
"How could such a Divine Power be cultivated by ordinary Martial Artists?"
"It is said that cultivating this Divine Power not only has Physique requirements but is also extremely profound and obscure. Back then, only two people in the Sun and Moon Divine Palace managed to cultivation it, yet neither could reach Perfection, let alone evolve their Dharma Aspects..."
"Otherwise, using this as the foundation, evolving a Dharma Aspect, and establishing a Dao base... the path created in the future would be the Dao of Time. What would a mere Netherworld of Demons count for?"
"With a single thought, no matter if the Netherworld of Demons has thousands of troops and horses, they would wither away in the stillness of time!"
"That old fellow Bai Ruiguang definitely wanted to secretly seize this Divine Power, which is why he secretly took the core divine hall and hid it behind my back. Therefore, the matter of me being sneak-attacked back then must be related to him!"
"Perhaps, the mysterious power I sensed came from this old fellow..."
