Immortal Qi was ethereal, filling this part of the world.

Looking out, one could not see the end.

This world felt vast and boundless, like a sea or the cosmos, with shimmering divine light and treasure light like the sun in the sky, completely illuminating this land.

Over there, thousands of brilliant lights shone, bright as day, and over here, floating light danced like gold, with a gentle shimmering of water.

All sorts of mysterious and infinitely profound treasure phenomena bloomed completely here, so much so that any Cultivator arriving would doubt if they had reached the legendary Immortal Realm.

East.

Lu Qing changed his direction. In this unfamiliar place, which would never have any record of its existence, listening to the words of his predecessors still held significant reference value.

At the very least, after Lu Qing discerned the direction, his mind, which had been captivated by the initial sight, completely refocused.

“The East is actually a sea of treasures.”

The scene of the quietly dancing floating light that Lu Qing saw came from the East of this world.

In the East, there was a sea of treasures, where brilliant golden light permeated the sea, radiating splendor. The water surface was like a mirror, reflecting a vast expanse of rich golden color in the sky above. Just looking at this scene made one think of the most common gold and silver treasures.

“Gold and silver, they carry every strand of human fortune. In the cultivation world, Spirit Stones and Spirit coins often serve this purpose. The golden light here inexplicably gives me a feeling of treasure and wealth.”

Now that Lu Qing’s cultivation had advanced, he would not ignore his intuitive flashes of insight.

How many Cultivators sometimes escaped death, relying precisely on that most profound and mysterious intuition.

Lu Qing having this feeling also indicated that the East of this place was at least not filled with those lofty Immortal treasures.

“It should be related to fortune.”

This thought flashed through Lu Qing’s mind.

This world, indeed, held no danger.

However, facing treasures brushing past him, with countless shimmering golden Dharma Treasures floating in the air along any path he chose, who could completely control their restless heart and mind?

During the Golden Core tribulation, one must subdue the restless heart and mind.

However, Cultivators do not sever their seven emotions or erase their six desires; the restless heart and mind always remain hidden deep within the spiritual platform, silently observing the Cultivator's inner state.

If a flaw appears, it is precisely the scene that the restless heart and mind most favors.

The Dao Heart is the hardest to cultivate, and one's state of mind is the hardest to break through. Among 'Dao, companion, wealth, and land,' the word 'wealth' is an extremely difficult hurdle for cultivating the mind and refining the spirit, permeating every part of the cultivation path.

Lu Qing composed himself, but in that single glance, prudence had already been ingrained in his cultivation path. Even upon entering this treasure trove, filled with others' possessions and top-tier Dharma Treasures, Lu Qing felt no greed for them.

If he truly wanted a Dharma Treasure, he mused that his own Natal Magic Treasure, refined by himself, would be more convenient to use.

Although, after entering the Dao Sect, Lu Qing’s crude Artifact Refining skills, which still lingered at the introductory level, had rarely been given dedicated time for practice.

But as his cultivation advanced, his grasp of more subtle and precise time and space, his control over spiritual essence and charm, and his selection of Magical Artifact materials also improved significantly.

Compared to a powerful expert specializing in the Artifact Refining Dao, he naturally couldn't compare, but Lu Qing thought that refining his own Dharma Treasure should be somewhat easier.

As soon as this thought appeared, Lu Qing knew in his heart that he indeed lacked a Natal Magic Treasure, or rather, a Dharma Treasure that bore his own Dao Seal on the Great Dao.

“I remember that after Void Illumination Realm, I was to establish a Dao field, set up a Dao manor, and then my Primordial Spirit would step into the long river of time to cultivate my own Dao Seal. But I still missed one thing, not crucial but certainly something I can work on: my Dao Seal Dharma Treasure.”

This issue had not been put on the agenda previously, also because Lu Qing already had Magical Artifacts, but he indeed had no Dharma Treasure.

And he certainly had no Dao Seal Dharma Treasure. This was also because Lu Qing had few combat situations, and using Divine Abilities and spells was much more convenient for him.

The Magical Artifacts he had previously obtained, or rather, bought, could continue to be used.

Now, seeing this treasure trove world, Lu Qing was also moved. This place was incredibly rich in treasures, a veritable Immortal land of treasures.

Countless Dao Rhythms and Qi permeated here: chillingly cold, uniquely powerful, Killing Intent filling the sky... The varied Dao Rhythms also showed what kind of Qi the former owners of these treasures possessed.

“As for my own Dharma Treasure, I’ll think about it after I leave.”

Now was not a good time. Every treasure in this place was excellent. Inspired by them, Lu Qing also remembered that his current cultivation still lacked a Dharma Treasure to carry his own Dao Seal.

A Dao Seal Dharma Treasure is a Dharma Treasure unique to one's own Great Dao and cultivation.

Their appearances vary, but having a Dao Seal Dharma Treasure is equivalent to establishing a defensive array on the Dao Seal. Some Cultivators, in order to resist the risks of the long river, suspend their own Dharma Treasure in their surrounding space to alleviate some of the pressure.

However, since it is a Dao Seal Dharma Treasure, it is more about imprinting one's own Great Dao upon the world; the Great Dao manifests in the long river, manifests in the world, which is also a path of cultivation.

Similarly, one can also contain one's own world within the Dharma Treasure, or use the Dharma Treasure to activate the Dao Seal in the long river of time. These numerous methods are incredibly profound, and a Cultivator's own Dao protection methods can also be strengthened by a few points.

Lu Qing had this thought merely for the sake of protecting the Dao. Having a Dharma Treasure in hand during cultivation was a good thing, not to mention that refining a Dao Seal Dharma Treasure was also greatly beneficial for cultivation. He walked, pondering, and was not in a hurry to look ahead.

From time to time, several streams of treasure light flowed past, but his mind was not swayed by them.

Treasures have spirits.

The further East one went, the more one could perceive the spirituality and Dao Rhythm of some treasures; they were much more powerful than the bell, tripod, and other forms of Dharma Treasures encountered upon first entering.

Among them, Lu Qing also saw the Taiyi Cloud Mist Dharma Treasure, a Dharma Treasure resembling red cloud mist, drifting in a corner of the Eastern treasure sea. It seemed to disperse and gather, with dazzling colors and an ethereal aura covering that area.

“However, if my intuition is correct, the Dharma Treasures in the East here are much more active than those I saw when I first came in.”

All were Dharma Treasures sealed in the same place. Some Dharma Treasures had much dimmer magical light, some had their spirituality covered in dust, and their power showed signs of damage.

Despite the damage, any Dharma Treasure specifically placed here must have had an incredibly glorious past.

In fact, the moment an external being entered this treasure trove world, dozens of the most profound and spiritually abundant ultimate treasures in the deepest parts of the world simultaneously awakened a trace of their spirituality.

The Dao Sect’s treasure trove does not open frequently, the Dragon Artifact Spirit was correct.

However, what he did not fully say was that the last time the Dao Sect's treasure trove was opened via the divine bridge was five hundred years ago, and before that, three thousand years ago.

Until this very day.
