Returning Ruins, located at the convergence of the Four Seas, was once a place many Immortal Gods passed by quickly, seldom stopping for a longer ti.
However, ever since the news spread that treasures were about to erge from within Returning Ruins, Immortal Gods from all over Primordial have been arriving in increasing numbers, joining the ranks of the treasure-hunting army.
Above Returning Ruins, the originally clear blue sky now boasted nurous exotic beasts, colorful auspicious clouds, Treasure Carriages, and other celestial vehicles.
Yu Ding and Dao Xing Venerable, two renowned Chan Sect Golden Immortals, were seated on a cloud, using the mist as chess pieces, continuing a previous unfinished ga.
They sohow managed to blend in unnoticed among the crowd of Immortal Gods.
Several hours passed, and innurable Immortal Gods passed by them without recognizing them even once.
A rainbow light shot from afar, landing next to the two and revealing a handso young man dressed in a white robe.
"Reporting to master and honorary uncle."
Yang Jian respectfully bowed and seriously said, "Disciple has already placed Brother Wei Hu in a secret realm for healing, he should recover in a couple of days."
Dao Xing Venerable slightly nodded, "Thank you for your efforts, nephew."
Yang Jian repeatedly expressed his modesty, then sat down to observe the chess ga quietly.
At that mont, a splendid Divine Light, thick as a hundred feet and entwined in Chaotic Qi, burst forth from Returning Ruins Abyss into the sky, and imdiately many Immortal Gods plunged into it, hoping to return to that treasure-filled Ancient Era.
Yang Jian also wished to set out for treasure-hunting, but seeing that his master and honorary uncle were still focused on the chessboard, ignoring the Chaotic Divine Light, he beca curious.
Before he could ask, Dao Xing Venerable slowly said, "While treasures are desirable, one must still be alive to enjoy them! These Immortal Gods, blinded by greed for treasures, truly do not know life from death!"
This Chan Sect Golden Immortal, sitting on the cloud, watched the scene of Immortal Gods fighting each other, shaking his head and sighing softly, speaking disdainfully of their actions.
Yu Ding glanced at him and laughed, saying: "You aren't short of treasures, so naturally, you cannot understand their thoughts."
"Who said I'm not short of treasures?" Dao Xing Venerable protested, "I've even given the Demon Suppressing Treasure Mallet to that young Wei Hu, now I am empty-handed... If I didn't know it was impossible to find treasures, perhaps I would join those Immortal Gods in their hunt."
"Impossible to find treasures?"
Curious, Yang Jian asked, "Why does honorary uncle say so?"
"Because everything in Heaven and Earth has its destiny!"
Dao Xing Venerable's expression beca solemn, and he earnestly said, "If you forcibly retrieve a treasure ant to disappear into the river of ti, you act against the Heavenly Dao, altering destiny. How could Heaven tolerate this?
Have you seen any Immortal Gods attracting Heavenly Punishnt Thunder since your arrival at Returning Ruins?" Enjoythestorybyreadingon*.
"I have seen it a few tis," Yang Jian nodded, sowhat alard, "That Thunder is overwhelmingly terrifying. Once it strikes, it annihilates both persons and treasures, destroying both body and spirit."
"That's correct," Dao Xing Venerable said calmly, "Going against the Heavenly Dao, how could Heaven possibly spare them?"
"What about returning to the ti when Heaven and Earth were first ford?"
Yang Jian asked curiously.
This was also what most of the Immortal Gods were thinking.
After witnessing the Heavenly Punishnt Thunder, they dared to take the risk of returning to the past because they wanted to return to the ti when the Heavenly Dao was not present and the rules were incomplete, and many treasures lted away between Heaven and Earth.
If they could bring these treasures ant to dissipate back, there was a great chance they would not attract Heavenly Punishnt.
"Haha..."
Dao Xing Venerable chuckled lightly, saying lightly: "Now that Heaven has ford, how could it allow you to return to the ti before it took shape?"
Yang Jian suddenly understood.
"No wonder you and master have been playing chess since arriving at Returning Ruins, not hunting for treasures. You knew all along we couldn't find any."
"More accurately, it's impossible to bring them back."
Dao Xing Venerable corrected him, then added, "Even if forcibly brought back, that would be seeking one's death... If you wish to hunt for treasures, rember this point well and do not overreach!"
"Disciple understands. Thank you, honorary uncle, for enlightening ."
Yang Jian promptly bowed deeply.
"There's no need for such formalities, nephew."
Dao Xing Venerable stroked his beard contently as he watched Yang Jian with increasing admiration.
This disciple's nephew had an extraordinary talent, grasping concepts imdiately—a stark contrast to his own disciple, who was much smarter. He wondered where Yu Ding had found him.
Just then, a dazzling Divine Light flickered in the distance.
The Immortal Gods guarding over the Returning Ruins knew this was a sign that those who entered into the Chaotic Divine Light were about to be "ejected," and they all sharpened their focus.
The next instant, a Divine Tree as thick as ten zhang suddenly appeared above the Returning Ruins.
The tree, strong and robust as a serpentine dragon, was bursting with life; its main trunk was sturdy and vigorous, with its branches growing unrestrictedly, adorned with countless fla-like leaves.
"That is... the Fusang Tree!"
"Its leaves are Taiyang Fire... It truly is the Fusang Divine Wood!"
"Who has such good fortune to actually bring back such a divine object!"
"It's not just good fortune; their strength must be extraordinary! Otherwise, they would have been turned to ashes by the Taiyang Fire long ago!"
...
Among the Immortal Gods present were those experienced and knowledgeable, who imdiately recognized the origins of this Divine Tree.
At this mont, they surveyed around the Divine Tree and finally spotted two figures at the base of the tree.
One was dressed in a fiery red Immortal Dress, wearing a golden halo crown, beautiful in appearance, with silver-white flas swirling around; the other was enveloped in golden Taiyang Fire, with their body vaguely visible as a glowing red tal.
"It's them!"
Yang Jian's eyes widened in disbelief: "They actually brought a Fusang Divine Tree from the past to the present!"
"Hehe, don't forget what I just said, it's rely a path to death."
Dao Xing Venerable sneered, looking at Yang Jian: "From your reaction, that person must be Yu Yuan, right?"
Yang Jian nodded, "Indeed, it is him."
Dao Xing Venerable's face broke into a smile, "Then it seems I don't need to take action."
Saying this, he looked up at the Heavenly Vault with a smile, "If he is smart and flees far away in ti, he might still save his life. Otherwise, even an Immortal Golden Immortal like him will be destroyed in body and spirit from the Heavenly Punishnt brought by such a Spirit Root!"
As if to prove his words, a six or seven zhang thick red lightning bolt descended from the sky without warning, striking directly at the Fusang Divine Tree.
What did a six or seven zhang thickness imply?
To the Immortal Gods present, this no longer seed like lightning, but more like a skyscraping red light column.
This was definitely a terrifying Heavenly Punishnt they had never seen before.
The most powerful Divine Thunders they had seen before were only about a zhang thick.
However, what shocked them even more was that the figure enveloped in Taiyang Fire not only didn't flee but stepped forward and instantly moved above the Fusang Divine Tree. Then, looking up at the sky, he opened his mouth and took a fierce inhalation.
The sound of thunder roared.
Under the watchful eyes of all, the six or seven zhang thick red light column near him shortened to the thickness of an arm and was then swallowed into his mouth.

"Burp~"
Monts later, Yu Yuan swallowed all the Heavenly Punishnt Thunder Light into his belly and then let out a satisfied burp.
The Power of Heavenly Punishnt transford into thunder that rampaged through his body, every part of him tingling and invigorated.
At the sa ti, the information panel only visible to him began updating even more rapidly.
[Heavenly Punishnt Divine Thunder inside the body: Qi-Blood 49270, Strength 2321, Muscle and Bone 9231, Mana 93834, Primordial Spirit Strength 5214…]
[Heavenly Punishnt Divine Thunder inside the body: Qi-Blood 42245, Strength 2649, Muscle and Bone 8383, Mana 84347, Primordial Spirit Strength 4534…]
…
"This…"
Far away, Yang Jian's mouth hung open as he slowly ca back to his senses.
He slowly turned his head, looking at the equally stunned Dao Xing Venerable, and really wanted to ask: Is this what you ant by a path to death?
