Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 417: Chapter 299: Great Dream Divine Map (2)

At that moment, the [Profound Celestial Map] and the [Void Heaven Battle Armor] automatically flew toward Wang Yi and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed the [Void Heaven Battle Armor] in one gulp, while Wang Yi took the Profound Celestial Map.

However, unlike Mingyu Divine Lord and the others, Wang Yi and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were not teleported away.

”It is your turn to choose a Treasure!”

Wang Yi felt a sense of satisfaction as he silently inspected the Profound Celestial Map.

The item was now in his hands, but it wasn’t bound to him. The Ancient Divine Language characters within it glowed brightly, but Wang Yi couldn’t decipher their specific meaning in such a short time. Still, he had a gut feeling that the Profound Celestial Map was somehow related to the Profound Celestial Stele.

Wang Yi tentatively used the Divine Prohibition Hand Seal on the Profound Celestial Map and suddenly discovered that he could store the Six Forbidden Divine Swords within it. A peculiar sensation immediately arose in his mind, making him feel as if the six swords were meant to be in the map from the very beginning.

’This Profound Celestial Map is definitely related to the Six Forbidden Divine Swords and the Profound Celestial Stele. Perhaps they were originally a single set of Treasures...’

As Wang Yi silently mulled this over, Yin Kui and the others began to select their Void Celestial Treasures.

Soon, Yin Kui chose the [Bright Moon Strategy] and Tie Suifeng selected the [Divine Response Strategy]. After receiving their Secret Treasures, the two of them were also immediately teleported away.

Li Jikong was in no hurry. After waiting until the very end, he shouted to Yuan Zhou, ”Halashao!”

The shout caused Wang Yi to briefly pause his examination of the Profound Celestial Map.

To Wang Yi’s senses, what Li Jikong said wasn’t the Ancient Divine Language, merely an imitation. It was all for show, completely meaningless.

But Yuan Zhou seemed to respond.

Soon, the final Secret Treasure, the [Void Heaven Divine Sword], fell into Li Jikong’s hands. And just like Wang Yi, he was not teleported away either.

”Huh? Why weren’t you teleported away?”

Wang Yi looked at Li Jikong, guessing that this wasn’t the man’s first time entering the Mad Secret Realm, nor perhaps his first time obtaining a Void Celestial Treasure. He must be privy to some secrets.

Li Jikong cupped his hands toward Wang Yi and said, ”Senior, since you understand the Ancient Divine Language, would you be interested in exploring the Great Dream Divine Map together?”

Wang Yi said, ”And why should we go together?”

”My skills are lacking, but I was fortunate enough to have visited the Great Dream Divine Map once. I could perhaps lead the way for you, Senior, and help you avoid some unnecessary trouble!”

”Then lead the way!”

As he spoke, Wang Yi turned to look at the Profound Celestial Stele. He knew Li Jikong was surely scheming something, but he had to explore the Great Dream Divine Map, even if he didn’t intend to awaken the Master of the Heart.

After leaving the Void Celestial Divine Map, Wang Yi formed a Forbidden Spell with his hand, hoping the Profound Celestial Map would create some mystical connection with the Profound Celestial Stele. However, aside from causing the Profound Celestial Stele to emit a faint glow, there was no other reaction.

This confirmed for Wang Yi that the Profound Celestial Map and the Profound Celestial Stele were indeed related, but it felt as if something was still missing.

’The Profound Celestial Stele, the Profound Celestial Map, the Six Forbidden Divine Swords, and the Six-Character Mantra... The four of them must be connected. Unfortunately, my command of the Ancient Divine Language isn’t good enough to uncover the mystery. But if I can’t find the connection, the Profound Celestial Map will be worthless, and the Six Forbidden Divine Swords won’t be of much use either!’

Wang Yi silently studied the Ancient Divine Language characters in the Profound Celestial Map, trying his best to decipher their meaning.

A moment later, Wang Yi arrived at the Profound Celestial Stele in front of the [Great Dream Divine Map].

Entering this Profound Celestial Stele, Wang Yi was also teleported into a palace. In the center of the palace coiled a massive white snake, its head the size of a tank and its scales shimmering with a metallic luster. Before it stood a stone platform, upon which rested an orb of light. Inside the orb was a scripture scroll.

That scripture was the [Book of Life and Death]!

Wang Yi could also see some of the white snake’s information. Its name was [Dongguang], its class was also Star Sea Priest, and its level was a staggering LV699!

He didn’t know Mingyu Divine King’s level, but not counting her, this white snake was the highest-level being Wang Yi had encountered so far.

”Halashao! Halashao!”

Li Jikong walked up to the giant snake and immediately started shouting loudly.

The white snake slowly opened its eyes, revealing pupils like a starry sky, and opened its mouth to let out a sound: ”Hiss!”

’Ancient Divine Language...’

Wang Yi’s mind stirred. It seemed White Snake Dongguang was saying something about ”the time has not yet come,” ”Soul Abyss,” and ”World of Suffering,” among other things, but Wang Yi couldn’t fully comprehend it.

Li Jikong clearly didn’t understand the Ancient Divine Language and continued to shout, ”Halashao! Halashao! Halashao!”

Upon hearing this, the white snake fell silent for a moment. It then threw its head back and let out a roar toward the starry sky of the dome.

Instantly, starlight like a fine mist rained down from the dome, and a passage appeared at the back of the hall.

”Sir, follow me! There’s a place where we can score some great opportunities!”

Li Jikong continued to lead the way, diving into the passage at the back, and his figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Wang Yi was in no hurry to follow. He cupped his hands toward the white snake and greeted it in the Ancient Divine Language.

The white snake nodded in response and said, ”Hiss!”

This single word contained a wealth of information, but Wang Yi could only decipher its surface-level meanings, such as ”the mist is poisonous,” ”beware of Evil Spirit invasion,” and ”doomed beyond salvation.”

’There’s danger here? Evil Spirit invasion, poisonous mist?’

Wang Yi frowned. He cupped his hands to the white snake one more time, then patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion on the head. ”There might be a strange mist ahead,” he said. ”I’ll go by myself. You wait here.”

With that, Wang Yi vaulted off the Golden Lion’s back and strode toward the passage at the back of the hall.

After a flash of white light, Wang Yi found himself teleported into a boundless white mist. The fog was so thick he couldn’t see anything more than a few yards away.

’I suppose I’ve entered the Great Dream Divine Map now!’

Wang Yi’s mind jolted. The spot between his eyebrows grew warm, and the Ancestral Divine Hall flew out on its own, emitting a low hum.

Immediately, Wang Yi heard gasps of alarm and terrified screams. It seemed something in the mist, startled by the appearance of the Ancestral Divine Hall, was retreating in a panic.

’The Divine Hall appeared on its own to protect my soul! Li Jikong really was playing tricks. He’s up to no good. If I didn’t have the Ancestral Divine Hall, I’m afraid an Evil Spirit would have invaded my soul the moment I entered this sea of fog...’

Wang Yi’s expression turned cold. The Ancestral Divine Hall was protecting his soul, allowing him to remain unharmed even while trapped in the mist.

’If the mist is poisonous...’

With a thought, Wang Yi took out the Four Symbols Gourd, intending to collect some of the mist, but he abandoned the idea on second thought.

’This mist is no ordinary thing. It can spread like a virus, and even Players of the Ancient Gods can’t resist it. It’s too vicious. If it were to get out, the consequences would be unimaginable...’

Wang Yi gave up on collecting the mist. He strode forward, and after walking for about half an hour, he discovered a lake of black water.

By the lake’s edge sat a desiccated corpse, cross-legged. The corpse held a fishing rod and was in the middle of fishing.

Wang Yi could see the corpse’s information. It was already completely dead, its soul annihilated. Now, it was nothing more than a walking corpse.

But just then, the walking corpse lifted its fishing rod, pulling a black fish from the dark water. The fish struggled violently before the corpse skillfully tossed it into a nearby bamboo basket.

’Even though this corpse’s soul is gone, it continues to fish here out of habit. But it’s not fishing for fish—it’s fishing for souls! This black pool is a Soul Abyss! The corpse is trying to redeem souls, but it’s a pity they’ve already been tainted...’

Understanding dawned on Wang Yi. He bowed to the corpse and continued on his way, soon discovering an iceberg.

Black mist seeped into the iceberg, and in its very center, a man in a yellow robe lay flat.

Wang Yi looked at the man in the yellow robe. His Insight Divine Techniques immediately revealed that the man was actually the Lord of the Heaven-Eluding Divine Kingdom. Judging by his state, he had most likely sealed himself away, perhaps to resist the invasion of Evil Spirits.

’The Lord of the Heaven-Eluding Divine Kingdom is sealed here...’

Wang Yi made a mental note and continued onward. Pushing through the mist, he saw more desiccated corpses.

Suddenly, Wang Yi’s focus sharpened as he spotted a tall figure. The figure resembled a Black Buddha, sitting cross-legged on a black lotus throne. In its left hand, it held Prayer Beads, and in its right, it cradled a small palace.

Wang Yi couldn’t see any information about the Black Buddha.

Just then, the Profound Celestial Map suddenly flew out of Wang Yi’s Chaos Realm on its own. Shining with a golden light, it tried to fly toward the Black Buddha.

”Hm?”

Wang Yi quickly shot out a hand and grabbed the Profound Celestial Map.

At the same time, the Black Buddha opened its eyes and said, ”Interesting. Young friend, what if I pass the Heaven-Sealing Divine Hall to you, and in return, you bring the Profound Celestial Sect back into the world? How does that sound?”
