In the Illusory Sun Sea, a Treasure Pagoda stood on a solitary island surrounded by sheer cliffs. It was entirely black, resembling a colossal peak piercing the heavens.
Inside the pagoda, a burly Daoist sat cross-legged on a stone platform. His skin was like cast bronze and his features were ugly. He wore a half-face Profound Gold Mask, and his gaze was cold and profound.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and muttered to himself in surprise, "'The Feathered Immortal Tree has appeared so soon?'"
As soon as the words left his lips, his figure flickered, and he was already outside the Treasure Pagoda. Gazing into the distance, he sensed the surging, immense aura of a treasure's light to the west, where the sea met the sky. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
"'It's not the Feathered Immortal Tree... But it's no ordinary treasure, either. I fear this will incite a bloodbath.'"
...
「Meanwhile.」
