Spirit Separation Ancestor, seething with anger, bowed to Xuanyang Palace Master's authority and withdrew, issuing a veiled threat against Divine Night Sect while averting outright conflict. Xuanyang Palace Master apologized to White Eyebrow Daoist and Princess Wenqi before departing with Fu Tiandi, leaving the sects in uneasy truce amid underlying rifts and concerns over foreign race exploitation. Meanwhile, Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang entered Gu Jianchou's starkly empty cultivation site, only to discover a hidden door leading to his self-forged world of mountains, rivers, and gathered treasures, where he elucidated the vast divides of the Heaven-appointed Realm and the essence of world power infused with personal laws.

Yang Chen paid close attention, absorbing every single detail without fail.

"That's precisely why Han Yi trembled in fear of me earlier on, yet once he advanced to the World Stage, he grew bold enough to consider clashing with me. Duels in the World Stage prove far more intricate than one might think."

Gu Jianchou explained, "I extracted this mountain from a distant interface, naming it the Heavenly Thunder Divine Mountain for its unique properties tied to thunder and lightning. I integrated it into my personal world and cultivated it using the world's energy. During battles against foes, as my world's energy expands, this magical artifact functions just like a personal armament within my domain."

With this revelation, Yang Chen grasped many new insights.

Hua Qingfeng had meticulously gathered the artifacts inside the Mountain and River Destruction Map, refining them into key elements of his own world.

"This liquid comes from the Ancient Literary Holy Water I discovered in the West Jade Realm, while that towering ancient tree reaching for the skies was..." Gu Jianchou continued enthusiastically, sharing freely from his experiences.

Yang Chen followed along with keen interest and finally ventured, "Does that imply anything at all can be woven into a cultivator's world to aid their growth?"

"Spot on—every element across the heavens can transform into a world treasure. Take even a worthless chunk of iron; if infused with world energy over time, it could yield surprising advantages. Naturally, that's more of a metaphor. Any expert in the Heaven-appointed Realm selects their world treasures with utmost caution. Consider Yi Tian, who pursued you atop that white crane—it's a scarce exotic species. Its flight rivals a bolt of lightning, and bolstered by world energy, its velocity hits levels beyond imagination. Even I couldn't guarantee victory in a pursuit against him. It's a wonder you've lasted this long."

Through these words, Yang Chen started unraveling the secrets of the Heaven-appointed Realm.

Yang Chen smiled lightly, "Pure fortune on my part. So, is there truly no cap on how many world treasures a person's world can absorb?"

"Far from it—the capacity for world treasures in a domain ties directly to one's realm of cultivation and the potency of their world energy. The broader the array of Laws one masters, the mightier their world energy becomes. Those wielding robust world energy possess expansive, immense domains capable of accommodating far more world treasures."

Gu Jianchou lifted a finger and noted, "Take my case: in my younger days, I fully comprehended three Laws, granting my world energy superior strength compared to most. Thus, my domain supports three world treasures, a feat beyond the reach of typical cultivators."

"Just three world treasures? Yet the world brims with endless possibilities." Ji Yue Shuang interjected curiously.

Yang Chen shared the same confusion.

He'd once assumed every object in existence qualified as a world treasure, even those housed in the Mountain and River Destruction Map, but clearly, that wasn't the reality.

"Haha, as if it could be that boundless? Only three qualify as genuine world treasures; the others, while sustained by my world energy, offer some utility but fall short of true treasure status," Gu Jianchou clarified.

"Then, if they're neither mere ornaments nor proper world treasures, what's their purpose?" Ji Yue Shuang queried, her lips pursing slightly.

"You clever girl... Do you realize that advancing to the late Destiny Realm allows refining a handful more world treasures? Regrettably, I never progressed that far in the Destiny Realm," Gu Jianchou lamented with a sigh.

"Haha, senior brother, thanks to the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine Yang Chen provided this time, your solid foundation will surely propel you to the World Life Stage," Ji Yue Shuang remarked cheerfully.

Gu Jianchou chuckled heartily, "Should I ascend to the World Life Stage now, it will all be due to Brother Yang Chen's generosity."

"I merely offered a small aid. On that note, is the sole distinction between mid and late Destiny Realm merely the count of world treasures one can refine?" Yang Chen pressed further.

Gu Jianchou shook his head: "It's far deeper than that. For powerhouses in the World Stage, the might of their world treasures hinges not just on the artifacts' inherent power but also on how long they've been cultivated. Mid Destiny Realm cultivators can't harness their world treasures to full potential, whereas late-stage ones can. Beyond that, late-stage surpasses mid-stage in countless other ways. You'll grasp it all once your own cultivation rises. No use burdening you with details prematurely."

Yang Chen realized he shouldn't push for more just yet. Gu Jianchou had shared plenty to ponder over time.

Overloading on knowledge at this juncture might prove counterproductive anyway. He could delve deeper later on.

Gu Jianchou let out a heavy sigh, "Simply remember this: the divides across the Destiny Realm's three phases are immense, and Heavenly Extreme Realm masters stand as awe-inspiring peaks ruling the cosmos. We Destiny Realm folks appear as mere babes before those Heavenly Extreme Realm titans."

Suddenly, Yang Chen struggled to envision it, since Destiny Realm experts already loomed as daunting figures in his view.

The Heavenly Extreme Realm remained an enigma beyond reach.

"Let's set that aside. Given your prodigious gifts, you'll climb to my heights eventually. Now, regarding the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine—how do you intend to allocate it?" Gu Jianchou inquired, "Any notions brewing? If trading it appeals, I could offer guidance."

Yang Chen shook his head, "I have no intention of trading it off."

Not that he opposed the idea, but he'd always meant to gift the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine outright. Claiming distribution rights served only to prevent grudges, and demanding items in return now risked stirring resentment, clashing with his original aims.

Gu Jianchou nodded appreciatively at Yang Chen's stance, then probed, "So, what standards will you apply?"

"Primarily, they need solid morals. Next, they should firmly believe my Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine can elevate them to late Destiny Realm. Beyond that, it boils down to my intuition. If someone rubs me wrong, no Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine for them," Yang Chen stated firmly.

Gu Jianchou burst into delighted laughter, "I admire that mindset! Absolutely, personal liking trumps all. Why bestow such a boon on those you disdain? For your criteria, I know two fitting prospects. Like myself, they're frantic to break into late Destiny Realm and bordering on desperation. Hand them the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, and they'll owe you eternal gratitude."

At this, Yang Chen's curiosity piqued, "Do share more, senior brother!"
