Yang Chen explored a mysterious spacetime vortex, experiencing immense time within while only moments passed outside. He returned to Mo Xin Lake, explaining his journey to Princess Wen Qi and Zhang Xuelian, and expressing his intent to claim the Nine Palaces Sea Region as a World Treasure. However, both Yang Chen's Five Elements Laws and Princess Wen Qi's water control were repelled by the sea region.

His indispensable trump card for subduing these world treasures was the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo.

With the Five Elements Laws now converged, Yang Chen wasted no time in activating the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo. Instantly, the innate laws within the Embryo formed a perfect synergy, reinforcing the external laws.

Following this reinforcement, Yang Chen gently guided the Five Elements downwards.

His five fingers, now imbued with the power of the Five Elements Laws, spanned the entirety of the Nine Palaces Sea Region.

As he infused his power into the Nine Palaces Sea Region, Yang Chen slowly began to draw it in. A subtle echo resonated from the depths of the Sea Region, confirming his connection.

However, this connection proved fleeting, abruptly severed before it could fully establish.

Yang Chen drew back a few steps, a flicker of astonishment crossing his features.

Even when he channeled the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo to absorb the Nine Palaces Sea Region, his attempt was once again thwarted midway. The disruption, it seemed, originated from Mo Xin Lake.

This Mo Xin Lake was beyond his current ability to absorb, indicating the issue was not with the Nine Palaces Sea Region itself.

This outcome was a bitter pill for Yang Chen to swallow.

Yet, with no alternative when absorption proved impossible, Yang Chen let out a sigh and stated, "It appears absorbing the Nine Palaces Sea Region isn't as straightforward as I thought. I've exhausted nearly all my methods."

"Would you like me to contact other powerful individuals from the Divine Night Sect to seek their assistance?" Princess Wenqi inquired, her attention deeply captivated by Yang Chen's display.

Given Yang Chen's formidable power even before reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm, she marveled at how terrifying his strength would become once he ascended.

Yang Chen offered a smile and replied, "Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Wenqi, but I believe it's unnecessary. If my current methods failed, it's unlikely that other Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses would have a significantly higher chance of success. I remain confident in that assessment. While this sea area isn't crucial for me, Mo Xin Lake presents a peculiar enigma. Should the opportunity arise in the future, I will certainly return."

"Very well, that is acceptable," Princess Wenqi conceded, her gaze lingering on the sea area as she too sensed its unusual nature.

Since Yang Chen had no intention of proceeding with the refinement, she saw no reason to press the issue.

"However, with such abundant treasures lying beneath Bi Shuangxing, it's highly probable that more formidable cultivators will be drawn here. We should expedite our search," Princess Wenqi advised.

Yang Chen readily agreed, "That is not an issue, of course."

Currently, the number of powerful experts exploring the depths of Bi Shuangxing was limited. In most locations Yang Chen traversed, he encountered little to no opposition.

The trio, Yang Chen leading the way, scoured the underground of Bi Shuangxing with relentless fervor. They diligently collected every Origin Essence and World Treasure they encountered.

Like the Nine Palaces Sea Region, these were not inherently World Treasures, but Yang Chen's unique abilities allowed him to gather them effectively.

In the blink of an eye, two months had elapsed.

Throughout these two months, Yang Chen amassed a significant haul from beneath Bi Shuangxing, comparable in richness to the treasures found within the Forbidden Spirit Palace.

Beyond the Primordial Treasures, Yang Chen absorbed all other World Treasures into his personal dimension, intending to present them to the Divine Night Sect upon his return.

After all, he could not possibly utilize such a vast quantity of World Treasures himself; a select few for his personal use would suffice.

Two months later, Yang Chen lingered no longer and chose to depart discreetly.

As anticipated, other major clans would undoubtedly dispatch their powerful cultivators to Bi Shuangxing. The allure of this planet was simply too immense.

If he delayed his departure now, leaving would become considerably more difficult once these reinforcements arrived.

Yang Chen harbored no aversion to trouble, but he preferred not to invite it unnecessarily. Seizing the opportunity and making a swift exit was the most prudent course of action.

Yang Chen and Princess Wenqi arrived unobtrusively and departed just as silently, successfully leaving Bi Shuangxing and returning to the Taiyuan Star System.

Upon their return to the Taiyuan Star System, Yang Chen did not immediately proceed to the Divine Night Sect. Instead, he made his way to the Grand Abyss Palace first.

His arrival at the Grand Abyss Palace immediately alerted its powerful inhabitants, prompting many to emerge and offer a swift welcome.

This display was less about reverence and more about ensuring Yang Chen received exceptional service.

Much like their previous encounter, Palace Master Xuan Yang quickly stepped forward, his eyes meeting Yang Chen's as he forced a smile and exclaimed, "Brother Yang Chen, you... you've returned."

A hint of surprise flickered in his gaze, for by all indications, Yang Chen should not have survived his perilous journey. Yet, here he stood, alive and well. The fate of the Spirit Separation Ancestor, however, remained unaddressed.

The subtle shifts in Palace Master Xuan Yang's expression were not lost on Yang Chen, who observed them with keen awareness.

A single glance from Yang Chen was enough to deduce that the Xuan Yang Palace Master likely had a hand in the affairs concerning the Spirit Separation Ancestor. He curved his lips upwards and stated with indifference, "Senior Xuan Yang, thank you for the information. I have located my beloved wife, Zhang Xue Lian, and intend to take her away. You have no objections, do you?"

The Xuan Yang Palace Master blinked in mild confusion. It was only upon hearing Yang Chen's words that realization dawned upon him. He desired to intervene, yet a wry smile played on his lips. How could he possibly stop Yang Chen now? Taking his wife back was, after all, a matter of course for Yang Chen.

"Naturally, I will not treat anyone unfairly. The Taiyuan Palace has not mistreated my wife during her stay. Now that I am taking her, I cannot simply leave without offering compensation. Here are ten World Treasures and twenty Origin Essences, which should suffice as a reward for Taiyuan Palace's meticulous care of Zhang Xue Lian."

Yang Chen produced ten World Treasures from the abundant collection he had acquired from the underground of Bi Shuangxing. His generosity stemmed from the fact that his recent endeavors had yielded immense rewards, and he believed in treating his wife fairly, which extended to her well-being during her absence. Even if Taiyuan Palace were his adversary, they had still looked after Zhang Xue Lian. To reclaim her without any recompense would have been beneath him.

"What do you think?" Yang Chen inquired, a smile gracing his features as he looked towards Zhang Xue Lian.

Zhang Xue Lian's expression was composed, and she gave a gentle nod. "No problem."

Witnessing her agreement, Yang Chen finally felt a sense of ease settle over him.

As for the powerful figures of the Taiyuan Palace, their jaws dropped upon beholding the World Treasures presented before them. A total of ten World Treasures lay before them; who wouldn't be swayed? Each individual could potentially receive one, an amount more than sufficient for their needs. Their experienced eyes recognized these as incredibly rare treasures.

Moreover, there were numerous Origin Essences in addition to the World Treasures. Even the Xuan Yang Palace Master, a man of the world, was astonished by the sheer quantity of wealth and found it difficult to raise any objections to Yang Chen's actions. The Protector Emperor, Yang Chen, was reclaiming his wife, and with such a lavish offering, it was indeed considered adequate.

Nevertheless, the Xuan Yang Palace Master could not muster genuine happiness. Despite the abundance of treasures, they paled in comparison to a Daoist Ancestor Expert.

Noticing the Xuan Yang Palace Master's conflicted emotions, Yang Chen felt no pang of regret. Instead, he spoke with a hint of mockery, "Palace Master Xuan Yang, are you perhaps concerned about the Spirit Separation Ancestor?"

The Xuan Yang Palace Master faltered for a moment before responding, unable to conceal his surprise, "Yang Chen, what do you mean by that?"
