412: The Spirit's Advice

The voice of the Artifact Spirit rang out again without warning, as if coming from the distant Void Realm, clear yet mysterious:

"Bai Chen, he is precisely the descendant of the supreme Second Alliance Leader of the Cosmic Alliance, and hails from the same prominent Family as the leader of the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Since they have already cast their gaze here, you must make full preparations as soon as possible."

Xun Xiuyuan's heart jolted, and he asked in surprise, "What do we need to prepare for?"

The Artifact Spirit remained silent for a long time, as if tracing that sealed history, and a heavy, ancient aura filled the air.

Finally, it spoke slowly: "When the number one powerhouse of the Blue Star Universe first attempted to connect to the Cosmic Battlefield, the battlefield was empty, a chaotic void with no signs of life. It was this peerless powerhouse who activated the entire Cosmic Battlefield with supreme Divine Power. At that moment, three world-shaking treasures descended upon the Cosmic Battlefield."

When Xun Xiuyuan heard the words 'Blue Star Universe', his mind involuntarily fell into a brief trance, as if drawn by some mysterious power.

And when he finally heard the words 'three treasures', his mind instantly tensed up, and he quickly established a mental connection with Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan's voice rang clearly in Xun Xiuyuan's mind, carrying a certain unquestionable authority:

"He is the artifact spirit of the myriad things cauldron. Among those three treasures, the myriad things cauldron governs the power of creation, the Ling Tian Pagoda governs the ability to Cultivate, and the three artifacts of time govern the might of enlightenment. The principles and powers they each contain are entirely different."

Xun Xiuyuan was shocked. The artifact spirit silently guarding this great hall was actually the spirit of one of the legendary three treasures—the myriad things cauldron?

"Those three treasures were obtained by that powerhouse alone. After experiencing the baptism of long years, that person finally Cultivated to the Peak of the Hongmeng Realm, reaching a height almost no one could match. However, before exploring an unknown Domain, due to its terror and mystery, he sealed the three treasures within a wisp of his Divine Soul, hoping to use them to achieve Rebirth one day in the future."

The Artifact Spirit's voice rang out again, its tone seemingly carrying a hint of remembrance and lament, speaking exceptionally slowly and heavily.

Xun Xiuyuan was filled with intense interest and deep concern regarding this matter. He couldn't wait to ask, "And then? What was the fate of those three treasures and that powerhouse?"

Xiao Xuan only sighed and did not continue speaking, as if that piece of history was too heavy to be easily told.

"The information I have gathered is that that mysterious wisp of Divine Soul was completely shattered into nothingness by the joint ultimate techniques of the Second and Third Alliance Leaders of the Cosmic Alliance. Since then, that mysterious figure has never appeared in any corner of the Universe again. Now that the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance has appeared in our sight, regardless of whether their ultimate goal is locked onto those three legendary treasures, we must heighten our vigilance and make full preparations."

The Artifact Spirit explained slowly, finally answering the doubts in Xun Xiuyuan's heart one by one.

Hearing this, Qing Hui's brow furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Then, are those three treasures truly hidden within the Yuan Ling Universe?"

The Artifact Spirit did not respond directly; instead, True Person Yuan Ling took over the conversation and provided an answer.

"Regarding the specific whereabouts of those three treasures, I do not dare to make a definitive judgment," True Person Yuan Ling said with a heavy tone. "But what is certain is that the legendary three artifacts of time have indeed appeared within the Yuan Ling Universe. And the three artifacts of time are precisely one of those three treasures."

Xun Xiuyuan had actually already learned this news through Xiao Xuan; at this moment, he was silently digesting this important information in his mind.

Xiao Xuan had never revealed a single bit of this to Xun Xiuyuan before.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan was about to speak and inquire further, Xiao Xuan's voice rang out at the right time: "Master, those matters involve a great deal. With your current strength and ability, you are not yet able to resolve them, which is why I did not inform you of these things in advance."

Xun Xiuyuan swallowed back the question he was about to ask. Although Xiao Xuan's explanation left him slightly unwilling, it was not without reason.

After all, whether facing the powerful Cosmic Alliance or those two mysterious and unpredictable Alliance Leaders, with Xun Xiuyuan's current strength, he was indeed not yet equipped to handle such a complex situation.

At this moment, the two treasures in his spatial ring couldn't help but surface in Xun Xiuyuan's mind: the time brush that could manipulate time, and the time bottle that could store fragments of time.

However, although these two treasures were powerful, they always felt inadequate when facing high-level Saint Kings, so Xun Xiuyuan had later given up on researching them.

Besides these, he also thought of the time disc held by the Ancestor of the Li Family.

If he were determined to collect these three treasures known to the world as the 'three artifacts of time', it wouldn't actually be difficult; one could almost say it would be easy to gather them all.

However, deep down, Xun Xiuyuan's degree of reliance on these treasures was not high.

Take the Ling Tian Pagoda, hailed as a supreme treasure of slaughter, for example. Despite its peerless power, Xun Xiuyuan had always only used it as a safe refuge and had not relied excessively on its power for combat or other matters.

Even so, the Dream of a Thousand Years Legacy contained within the Ling Tian Pagoda had truly provided immense help to Xun Xiuyuan.

At this time, Xun Xiuyuan had the idea of combining the three artifacts of time into one, though it was just a fleeting thought.

Ultimately, the most critical factor in why Xun Xiuyuan could become so powerful lay in the mysterious System within his body.

It was this System that provided him with a continuous stream of support and guidance, allowing him to handle various challenges with ease and eventually achieving his current strength.

True Person Yuan Ling fell into a long silence, as if the entire space had frozen along with his stillness.

Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and confusion: "Artifact Spirit, how do you think we should respond to the current situation?"

The Artifact Spirit appeared quite straightforward, giving its answer almost without hesitation: "The mysterious disappearance of Kong Ling and the accidental death of General Wu are two things the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance will absolutely not let go easily. They will inevitably investigate deeply and pursue the matter to the end. Therefore, I suggest you temporarily abandon your base in the Yuan Ling Universe and choose to wander the vast and boundless Void Realm, making the preservation of your lives your primary task."

This suggestion from the Artifact Spirit could be described as extremely pertinent and hitting the mark.
