Old Zhang used a mirage technique to escape but Zimo saw through it and revealed his true body. Faced with defeat, Old Zhang offered his Heavenly Fire Bead and his services to retrieve more beads and treasures from the dangerous Heavenly Burial Grounds in exchange for his life. Zimo agreed, promising Old Zhang a great fortuitous encounter and one wish fulfillment upon completion of his task.

"You agreed so readily?" Xu Zimei scrutinized Old Zhang and asked.

"Master, it's my fault for being blind and offending you. I am truly grateful that you spared my life," Old Zhang hurriedly replied.

"I'm afraid you might fake agreeing with me, and once you leave here, with the sky high and the emperor far, I'll have trouble finding you," Xu Zimei said.

"Master, please trust me. I've been wandering the martial world for many years, and I still have the basic guarantee of honesty," Old Zhang quickly said.

In fact, he did indeed hold such an attitude.

Surviving comes first.

Once he leaves here, the universe is so vast, who can really find him?

Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.

"I trust no one."

Xu Zimei extended his right hand, gathering the Power of the Great Dao into it.

The immense force was like a mountain-crumbling tidal wave.

"Boom, boom."

All the power condensed into a mark, which then penetrated Old Zhang's chest at the position of his heart.

"Master, what is this..." Old Zhang asked with an uneasy expression.

"It's a small thing. Each year, you come to find me once on the Divine Continent, and I'll give you the antidote," Xu Zimei said with a smile.

"You don't need to be afraid of this. As long as we cooperate pleasantly, this mark won't be triggered."

Within this mark was the Power of the Great Dao condensed by Xu Zimei.

Simply put, if Xu Zimei found Old Zhang disobedient, he could detonate the mark at will.

Moreover, even if Old Zhang sought others to try to unseal it, it would be very difficult.

At the very least, those whose strength approached Xu Zimei's wouldn't be able to.

Because if the mark sensed a threat, it would self-detonate.

And figures of this level, Xu Zimei didn't believe they would help Old Zhang.

"Master, I truly am sincere. Why treat me like this," Old Zhang hurriedly said.

"From the moment you offended me, your life no longer belonged to you."

Xu Zimei calmly said.

"Now that I grant you continued life, it is already merciful."

"You have no choice, though you could choose to die now."

Old Zhang took a deep breath.

He knew there was no avoiding this matter.

But he harbored great doubts about trusting Xu Zimei.

After all, Xu Zimei was someone who waylaid and robbed.

How can such a person be trusted?

He might use him and then leave him to fend for himself.

"Master, how can I trust you?" Old Zhang retorted.

"I don't need to prove anything to you. The weak, being alive is lucky enough. Why ask for so much?" Xu Zimei said.

He then asked, "When you gather these beads at the Heavenly Burial Grounds, what method of trading do you use?"

"Cosmic Crystals or barter?"

"Just Cosmic Crystals are enough. These beads are not prioritized, nor are they expensive," Old Zhang said.

"Moreover, most of the time, I venture into small Heavenly Burial Pits myself, and many things I find personally."

Xu Zimei understood why these beads were not high-priced or valued.

Because using these beads indeed required some special methods.

Normally, even if given to someone, they couldn't use them.

"Give him a batch of Cosmic Crystals," Xu Zimei said to Quan Shan.

"Working for me won't make you pay from your own pocket. If you need anything else, feel free to say."

Hearing this, Old Zhang's expression improved somewhat.

At least Xu Zimei wasn't planning to freeload, requiring him to pay for everything.

"Thank you for the consideration, Master. How many beads do you need?" Old Zhang asked.

"You mentioned before that there are six types of these beads."

Xu Zimei replied.

"I want a hundred of each type."

"Master, that's quite a number, not something easy to find quickly," Old Zhang hurried to say.

He didn't know what Xu Zimei wanted so many beads for.

He just thought about quickly gathering the beads and escaping Xu Zimei's grasp.

"I'm not rushing you. Just find them first. Once I've finished here, I'll come to the Heavenly Burial Grounds to find you," Xu Zimei said.

"Understood," Old Zhang nodded slightly.

"Go on, and don't try any tricks," Xu Zimei waved him away.

Old Zhang bowed and eventually left aboard a small warship.

"Master, is it trustworthy to let him leave like this?" the Demon Noble beside him said.

"With my mark on him, trying any tricks will make him wish for life, not death," Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.

"Don't forget our main purpose for coming this time."

"Have you seen anyone from Myriad Buddha Star around?"

In general, the Will of the World Bridge built between Myriad Buddha Star and Daughter Star is usable by anyone.

But recently, Daughter Star has been rather unique, so Myriad Buddha Star's Will of the World Bridge also has restrictions.

For outsiders like them wanting to use it, they must obtain consent.

"Haven't seen anyone from Myriad Buddha Star," Tiger Wing said from the side.

"But I've heard that leading their team this time should be Acala Bodhisattva."

"They will surely appear when Misty Island opens the day after tomorrow."

"Then let's wait for these two days, notify me of any situation immediately," Xu Zimei said.

Then he took the Heavenly Fire Bead back inside the warship to begin a retreat.

The Heavenly Fire Bead was indeed of great use to Xu Zimei.

He previously obtained a Cultivation Technique from that azure glow.

It's called "Law of Void."

Rather than calling it a Cultivation Technique, it's more like a shortcut to understanding the universe.

According to the Law of Void,

The universe long ago should have been a void.

No planets, no stars, you could say the universe was barren.

Everything could be considered a point of origin.

Until one day, the origin exploded, bursting forth endless power from it.

This formed the six paths of origin power of the universe.

Heavenly Fire, Wind and Thunder, Time and Space, Light and Dark, Light and Heavy, Yin and Yang.

These six paths of origin power are fundamental in enriching the void.

But after the explosive beginning of the cosmic origin, these origin powers dispersed into the void.

Reassembling the origin is a challenging task.

It's unexpected to find these Innate Beads existing at the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

Within the Innate Bead, the power is concretized.

Without cultivating Law of Void, it's impossible to absorb origin power.

This makes Xu Zimei quite surprised.

Because acquiring the Law of Void seemed accidental.

However, there also appears to be an inevitable summoning within it.

While in the universe, the azure glow actively moved toward him.

It's fair to say the azure glow chose Xu Zimei.

The Law of Void chose Xu Zimei.

The reason for this, Xu Zimei couldn't figure out.

He held the Heavenly Fire Bead tightly, intending to crush it.

But the hardness of the Heavenly Fire Bead exceeded all expectations.
