Chapter 918: One Thought to Form a World, One Question

A short while later.

"General Xia, let us return."

As he spoke, Qi Yuan no longer hesitated and quickly crushed the Divine Wood Token in his hand.

Beside him, Xia Hanjun also nodded, similarly crushing her own Token into dust.

In the next instant, a massive force of repulsion descended out of thin air, and the bodies of the two were directly swept into it, vanishing without a trace.

After a brief moment of dizziness, the two returned to that boundless Void Realm outside the Domain.

Leaving the Great Void world was like suddenly opening a heavy Seal; Qi Yuan and Xia Hanjun felt their spirits shudder as a long-absent surge of spiritual Qi flooded their limbs and bones, turning them back into nearly omnipotent Cultivators.

Of course, compared to a war goddess like Xia Hanjun who could tear apart a Golden Immortal with her bare hands, Qi Yuan, who had just entered the Mahayana Realm, was naturally not worth mentioning in terms of strength, but at the very least, he had restored his peak state.

After his Breakthrough to Mahayana, he had also successfully awakened a brand-new innate Divine Ability called [One Thought to Form a World].

As the name implied, through this Divine Ability, Qi Yuan could easily create an exclusive Domain. Within the range of the Domain, he, as the master, could amplify the power of the rules he controlled several times over, while simultaneously weakening his enemies.

In other words, once an enemy was pulled into this Domain, not only would their own strength be greatly suppressed, but they would also have to face an "enhanced version of Qi Yuan" who received the Domain's empowerment…

According to Qi Yuan's estimation, with his full effort, he could only expand the Domain's range to about a thousand zhang at most.

At the same time, the consumption of this ability was immense, making it impossible to sustain for a long time. If he could not kill his opponent in a short period, it would be he who died.

Furthermore, if the opponent's strength was too great, they could completely break all laws with brute force, forcibly shattering the Domain and letting the creator taste the backlash of the Divine Ability.

Despite these various limitations, even Qi Yuan had to admit that from a purely practical combat perspective, this new Divine Ability was insanely powerful.

Weakening the enemy while boosting oneself—one could imagine how shameless this fighting style was.

More importantly, he had fused a large number of special abilities from the Great Void world, each belonging to the category of rule-based power, which could absolutely make those unlucky souls trapped in his Domain wish they were dead…

Just as Qi Yuan was lost in thought, Xia Hanjun beside him suddenly became motionless, as if a binding technique had been cast upon her.

At the same time, the entire space seemed to freeze, and even time stopped flowing.

Facing such an eerie scene, Qi Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he did not panic. Instead, he respectfully bowed toward the void ahead and said:

"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos not far away suddenly parted, and a towering figure wearing imperial robes and a twelve-tasseled crown stepped out.

The person's entire body was shrouded in an indescribable mist of Great Dao Qi. Every movement contained endless majesty—lofty, inscrutable, perfectly impartial, and righteous, like the brilliant Heavenly Dao.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan's eyelids twitched wildly, and he gained a deeper understanding of the importance of this mission.

To welcome him, Immortal Emperor Donghua had actually descended in his true body!

Before he could speak, a gentle and honest voice reached his ears:

"Little friend Qi Yuan, you truly did not disappoint Us."

Immortal Emperor Donghua's face was hidden behind the tassels, making it impossible to see his emotions, but from his tone, he seemed very satisfied with what someone had done.

Qi Yuan did not dare to be negligent and quickly took out the seed of the divine tree from his bosom, presenting it before the other party:

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune, this Junior fortunately did not fail the mission and obtained a seed from that divine tree."

Next, he proactively took down that branch from his back and added with a face full of sincerity:

"In addition to the seed, Senior divine tree also bestowed a branch upon this Junior. How it should be handled, I ask Your Majesty to decide."

After some deliberation, Qi Yuan ultimately decided to openly mention the matter of being gifted the branch.

Although he did not believe the Immortal Emperor had the ability to divine matters concerning the great dao divine tree, judging from the great dao divine tree's reaction, there was definitely some special connection between the Immortal Emperor and the great dao divine tree, or at least some level of tacit understanding.

In such a situation, any form of concealment could lead to unpredictable consequences.

If the Immortal Emperor thought he had ulterior motives, it would be a disaster!

"You have done well."

Immortal Emperor Donghua nodded slightly upon hearing this. With a reach of his hand, the seed of the great dao divine tree turned into a streak of light and landed in his palm.

Immediately after, Immortal Emperor Donghua glanced at the branch Qi Yuan held in both hands and said meaningfully:

"As for this branch, since it was gifted by the great dao divine tree, it is something you deserve. There is no need to hand it over to Us. Keep it; it will surely be of great use in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and honestly put the great dao divine tree branch back on his back.

In front of such a powerful being, he was not stupid enough to directly use the System space to store the item. If any clues were noticed, wouldn't things blow up?

While he was holding his breath and focusing, he heard Immortal Emperor Donghua say calmly:

"According to the previous promise, Us will hand over the myriad manifestations exquisite pagoda to you, and at the same time, prepare an Opportunity that every Immortal dreams of!"

At this point, Immortal Emperor Donghua shook his sleeve, and an exquisite small pagoda glowing with golden light flew out, landing steadily in Qi Yuan's hand.

"As for the Opportunity, Us cannot fulfill it yet. When we meet next time, you will receive the great gift Us promised you…"

After speaking, Immortal Emperor Donghua turned his body, seemingly about to leave.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly called out:

"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?"

Immortal Emperor Donghua paused his steps, turned his head to glance at him, and said in a calm tone:

"Ask."

At the critical moment, Qi Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the nervousness in his heart, and asked cautiously:

"This Junior wants to ask… what exactly is the relationship between me and Immortal Lord Yuan Wu from many years in the future?"
