"Um... Divine Envoy, still in the Trial Secret Realm, I'm not sure how he..." Yan Siyun saw that Lord Nether Moon God didn't care about these matters and felt an inexplicable sense of calm, but then hesitated to ask again.

"My Angel Envoy will receive my protection; it's not something you need to worry about," Yuan Ming said.

"Subordinate understands the error," Yan Siyun quickly bowed her head upon hearing this.

"Next, continue to gather information about the other islands in the East Sea and the Wu Yue Sect, and pray to report in a timely manner," Yuan Ming instructed after some thought.

"Yes," Yan Siyun replied eagerly, delighted.

She feared that Lord Nether Moon God would ignore her, but the more tasks he assigned to her, the safer Hundred Pills Square would be.

"Considering your recent hard work, I wish to reward you with some spiritual materials and Demon Cores. You may keep some for yourself, and the rest should be sent to Hundred Pills Square for Yan Sijing to refine into elixirs," Yuan Ming continued.

"Thank you, my lord," Yan Siyun said joyfully, quickly expressing her gratitude.

The next instant, a golden and silver light burst forth in front of her, quickly coalescing into an illusory gate a few feet in size.

With a "creak," the golden and silver gates swung open.

A Storage Bag shot out from within and landed on the ground in front of Yan Siyun.

Yan Siyun, sensing through her Divine Sense that the golden and silver light gate hadn't dissipated, didn't immediately pick up the Storage Bag.

On the other side, Yuan Ming hadn't forgotten to remove the Space Restriction. It was just that a sudden idea had come to him as he threw out the Storage Bag, causing him to hesitate for a moment.

This idea was connected to the Six Jia Qimen, which could retrieve objects from afar by exchanging spaces.

There are significant limitations to the Six Jia Qimen; the object for space-time exchange must be within the range of his Mana and Divine Sense.

Yuan Ming's Divine Sense was powerful enough to spread dozens of miles, but his Mana had a much narrower range of radiation. The Six Jia Qimen was limited in effect, thus he didn't highly regard this secret technique.

However, at this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly realized a new use for the Six Jia Qimen.

"Using the Stealing Heaven Tripod, I can extend my Mana and Divine Sense to a great distance. I wonder if I can combine the Six Jia Qimen with the space restriction within the Stealing Heaven Tripod?" Yuan Ming pondered.

This wasn't a whimsical idea that popped into his head; the space restriction could only send items to others and not the reverse.

If the space restriction could transport items both ways, its usefulness would be greatly increased.

Upon thinking of this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but praise it as "brilliant" and began to experiment immediately.

He formed hand seals and cast the Six Jia Qimen Secret Skill. An illusory circle of inscriptions appeared before him, with light circulating within it and emitting waves of spatial fluctuations.

Yuan Ming reached out, and the circular rune formation approached the space restriction until they adhered to each other.

Though they didn't merge completely, there was no rejection between the two.

Yuan Ming felt the spatial fluctuations from both became much stronger.

With a thought, he pictured the Storage Bag he had sent earlier in his mind. With an imaginary grasp of his fingers and a silent shout in his heart:

"Come back!"

The next moment, Yuan Ming could feel a weight in his hand; he now held the very Storage Bag he had gifted to Yan Siyun.

"It really works, it really works..."

While Yuan Ming was overjoyed, Yan Siyun was panicked.

She had "seen" the Storage Bag being pulled by an invisible force, flying backward into the golden and silver light gate and disappearing before her eyes.

In an instant, she thought she had done something wrong that had upset Lord Nether Moon God, prompting him to take back the bestowed treasure.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out where she had erred.

Just as she was conflicted about whether to admit a mistake, the golden and silver light gate in front of her "creaked" open again, and the Storage Bag flew out once more.

This time, the light gate closed immediately and disappeared quickly.

"Lord Nether Moon God..." Yan Siyun said, still stunned, trying to call out.

For a long time, there was no response, and the immense Divine Power also dissipated.

Clearly, Lord Nether Moon God's presence had ended.

She hurriedly picked up the Storage Bag from the ground, still somewhat dazed, not understanding why Lord Nether Moon God would do such a thing.

On the other side, Yuan Ming was also aware that his actions were inappropriate, but he didn't offer any explanation, nor did he continue the experiment.

If he tried it two or three more times, Yan Siyun's loyalty to the deity might begin to waver.

However, just because he couldn't experiment with Yan Siyun, it didn't mean he couldn't test it on someone else.

So Yuan Ming immediately contacted Xu Che to understand the situation on his end and continued to try using the Six Jia Qimen to retrieve items, quickly mastering this ability.

Yuan Ming didn't do many trials, as the Space Power within the Crystal Stone was limited.

He felt quite pleased in his heart. With this ability, he would no longer be limited to one-way gifting of items to others; bilateral exchanges of items would become incredibly efficient and simple.

Thereafter, Yuan Ming continued to stay in the Li Palace for approximately three days.

During these three days, he continued to cultivate the two Divine Power Secret Techniques he had just mastered, the Six Jia Qimen and the Circular Light Technique.

When the fourth day was almost upon him, and seeing that everything outside was calm, whether it be the tide-like Tree People or the mighty golden Divine Bow, none had appeared. Even the layer of black mist that had blocked out the sky had dissipated without a trace, he finally stepped out of the Li Palace.

The plaza outside was a mess, with corpse of Tree People killed by the golden Divine Bow strewn everywhere.

These beings, unlike flesh and blood humans, showed no sign of decay and still looked as they did when they died in battle.

As Yuan Ming walked through this dense pile of Tree People corpses, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He released his Divine Sense to sweep over the corpses and his expression subtly changed. He subconsciously took out the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear and held it in his hand.

Just now, while inspecting them, Yuan Ming suddenly sensed a tenacious life force emanating from these Tree People corpses, almost causing him to mistake these beings for having come back to life.

However, upon closer inspection, he realized that these Tree People were indeed as dead as can be.

The tenacious life force on them was more akin to the natural Spiritual Power found within Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a robust energy, not actual Life Force.

Yuan Ming's eyes shifted and he immediately made contact with Hua Zhi through his Divine Sense.

Having received an affirmative response, Yuan Ming started running all over the plaza, throwing the remaining corpses of the Green-Black Tree People, one after the other, into the Spiritual Beast Bag for Hua Zhi to devour and nourish herself.

Although Hua Zhi was in closed-door cultivation, her Vines sensed the existence of the Tree People and immediately extended towards them, beginning to frantically devour the corpses and absorb that force within them, which drastically accelerated the integration process with the Purple Extreme Tai Sui.

It took Yuan Ming nearly two hours to feed all the corpses of the Green-Black Tree People to Hua Zhi.

Just as he was about to finish up and leave, a formidable pervasive pressure suddenly emanated from the palace behind him.

Yuan Ming felt his scalp tighten. Before he could use his Escape Technique to flee, a beam of Golden Light zipped towards him and coalesced into a golden Divine Bow hanging in mid-air in front of him.

"Who are you?"

The golden Divine Bow stirred with ripples of golden light, from within which an authoritative male voice rang out.

Artifact Spirit of the Divine Bow?

"I am an East Sea Wondering Cultivator. A while back, I attended the Immortal Fruit event on Fusang Island and accidentally strayed into the Three Immortals Island," Yuan Ming, without time to think further, quickly cupped his fists and said.

"Your aura is clean and doesn't seem to be tainted by that old monster, so it appears you indeed arrived here recently," the golden Divine Bow said after hearing him, its bow's snout bending slightly as if nodding slowly.

"Old monster?" Yuan Ming asked, perplexed.

"That's the Old Tree Demon from Penglai Island. You've managed to evade its offspring and the pursuit of its Tree People; you must be quite capable," said the golden Divine Bow.

Yuan Ming sensed a probing look and felt a chill in his heart, his body's hairs standing on end.

This golden Divine Bow seemed so perceptive—had it been observing him all this time? Had it detected the presence of the Stealing Heaven Tripod?

"I happen to possess a treasure that conceals my aura, which is why I was fortunate enough to survive," he thought quickly and spoke calmly.

"No need to worry, I am merely the Spiritual Treasure Artifact Spirit left by the Golden Sunflower Immortal, and I have no covetous desires for the belongings of someone like you," the golden Divine Bow huffed.

"Indeed, the things I carry would certainly not catch Your Excellency's eye. Have you appeared now because there's something I can assist with?" Yuan Ming asked cautiously.

"I've been confined to this Golden Sunflower Immortal Island for countless years and have been unable to communicate with the outside world. What is the state of the outside world now?" the golden Divine Bow inquired.

"The outside world? Are you referring to the East Sea Immortal Cultivation World? That place…" Yuan Ming narrated the events of the East Sea, omitting the attack of the Wuyue Sect to avoid having to explain.

"What about the rest of the Yunhuang Continent?" The golden Divine Bow seemed very interested in the outside affairs and pressed further.

Yuan Ming concealed nothing, revealing everything he knew to the golden Divine Bow, this time not hiding news of the Wuyue Sect's resurgence.

The golden Divine Bow fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

"Senior, may I ask what those Green-Black Tree People were? And this Old Tree Demon of Penglai Island you mentioned, what is it?" With the golden Divine Bow seemingly easy to talk to and showing no intent to trouble him, Yuan Ming plucked up the courage to inquire.

"The Old Tree Demon from Penglai Island is an Undying Tree. All those Tree People are its controlled offspring," said the golden Divine Bow.

"Undying Tree? The ancient marvelous tree from the legends that produces Undying Immortal Fruits?" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up.

Ever since learning about the existence of the ancient Fusang Divine Tree on Fusang Island, he had Yan Siyun gather plenty of information on ancient trees. The Undying Tree was certainly not less than the Fusang Divine Tree and appeared to be even more mysterious. It was said that the Immortal Fruits from the Undying Tree could grant eternal life or even bring the dead back to life—truly wondrous.

"Yes, those who eat the Undying Fruit produced by the Old Tree Demon can indeed achieve eternal life. If you wish, I can send you to Penglai Island right now," the golden Divine Bow sneered coldly.

"What do you mean, Senior? Are there dangers around the Undying Tree?" Sensing the golden Divine Bow's sarcasm, Yuan Ming inquired.
