Liang Yi aimlessly flipped through the items stored inside the White Tiger Envoy's Storage Ring; the White Tiger Envoy had truly hidden away quite a few good things.

Although even with Liang Yi's knowledge he did not recognize all of them, just by a cultivator's sensitivity to energy, these should all be some rare treasures.

The five-colored radiance of the divine illuminated the entire space of the Storage Ring, filled with wondrous energies. There was a blood-red orb that seemed like a dormant volcano, waiting to erupt; there were also statues with fierce expressions, yet one could faintly hear the echoing roars of barbaric beasts; what's more, there was a sapling resembling an immortal item Divine Tree rooted inside the ring, absorbing the spiritual energy of numerous treasures to nourish itself.

All of these items left Liang Yi hardly able to catch his breath, almost dazzling his eyes.

"What a pity... such a pity..."

The more diverse and numerous the treasures here, the more Liang Yi sighed deeply.

Because all these items that appeared in the White Tiger Envoy's Storage Ring were tainted with Abyss Demon Qi. Although there wasn't any apparent sign on the surface, Liang Yi's Cliff Sword Intent inside his body was extremely sensitive to it.

"If these items were all normal, I'd like to see who would dare to call the Taoist Sect poor again; we could kill them with a barrage of Magical Treasures!"

Reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the Divine Tree situated at the very center of countless treasures, Liang Yi didn't care much about the others, but he took particular notice of this tree, wanting to see if he could find a way to remove the Abyss Demon Qi lurking within it in the future.

This unnamed Divine Tree had lush, dripping green leaves, radiating a strong vitality that faintly illuminated the entire space, nearly making Liang Yi think he had seen the Void Creation Green Lotus.

Although it was far from the Void Creation Green Lotus in terms of power, which seemed strong enough to open a world, its essence of power appeared not to differ much. He wondered where the White Tiger Envoy had obtained this treasure; now it had fallen into his own hands.

But upon closer inspection, the main trunk of the Divine Tree, still in its juvenile phase, had a sinister streak of blood-red energy attached to it—the Abyss Demon Qi!

While it was not evident on the surface, such items could be used by an Abyss Cultivator without any problem, but for non-Abyss Cultivators, there was the risk of being eroded by the Abyss Demon Qi.

So, although Liang Yi was extremely envious, he could only suppress the desire in his heart and leave them here, adding several layers of Cliff Sword Intent seals while he was at it.

Who knew if the White Tiger Envoy had tampered with any of these treasures, it was still better to add a few more layers of security, as he did now.

The deeper he went into the Storage Ring, the fewer treasures Liang Yi saw, though their quality became higher. However, without exception, these treasures had all been imbued with Abyss Demon Qi by the White Tiger Envoy, which filled Liang Yi with indignation!

Suddenly, Liang Yi discovered several familiar and sizable clusters of something in the White Tiger Envoy's Storage Ring.

"This is... World Origin? How did it end up here?"

A surprised expression appeared on Liang Yi's face as he summoned several sizable clusters of cloud-colored light into his hand.

Under the gentle radiance of the light, which warmed the hearts of those it touched, the sea of clouds in the Secret Realm that was previously nothing but an array-induced illusion almost seemed to solidify from the void!

The juvenile White Tiger lying in the grass and gleefully sleeping with its head raised was suddenly illuminated by this light. It jolted awake and looked towards the clusters of light in Liang Yi's hands with excitement, bouncing over while howling excitedly.

"You've just clawed at me, and now you want to eat again?"

Liang Yi watched the White Tiger, which was now obediently crouching at his feet, constantly rubbing its face against his trouser leg and wagging its tail non-stop.

"If you bark like 'woof woof', who could say you're not a dog? I'd argue with them!"

Ignoring the foolish tiger trying to act cute, he dared not let the little creature eat before figuring out what the World Origin was all about.

It wasn't strange for the White Tiger Envoy to have World Origin; this practitioner of the Slaughter Dao had likely killed more people on the battlefield than most would see in their lifetime, so it was normal for him to have a great deal of World Origin.

What Liang Yi couldn't understand, however, was that the White Tiger Envoy was already dead!

After a cultivator falls, the World Origin granted by the rules would dissipate, and this had been verified by countless people.

But now, what Liang Yi definitely held in his hand was the unambiguous World Origin, he was one hundred percent sure of that.

"Could it be that the White Tiger Envoy is not dead?"

Involuntarily, this thought emerged in Liang Yi's mind.

But in the next second, Liang Yi renounced that thought outright.

The White Tiger spirit had already been born, and even his master had confirmed it at the time; the White Tiger Envoy must indeed be dead.

"What is this Origin... Hm?"

Liang Yi's expression suddenly became puzzled as he held the World Origin from the White Tiger Envoy's ring in his left hand and took out the World Origin he had acquired with his right hand.

The White Tiger squatting beside Liang Yi was staring with wide eyes, even drooling without realizing it, looking left and right undecided about which to choose.

Liang Yi put the two World Origins together, frowning in deep thought.

After carefully sensing the two World Origins in his hands, he discovered that there was a difference between them.

If one had to say, one was ownerless, and the other had an owner.

The one without an owner was naturally from the White Tiger Envoy's ring, while the one with an owner was Liang Yi's own.

"These World Origins were not obtained by the White Tiger Envoy on the battlefield, but through other means!?"

Liang Yi's expression changed dramatically, and tumultuous waves rose in his heart.

As far as he knew, the known ways to obtain World Origin were to kill enemies on the battlefield, or it had to come from directly erasing a Mystical Mechanism world's Heavenly Dao Origin or the Abyss itself.

Now that the White Tiger Envoy could obtain World Origin from other places, it was unknown whether this method was something only the White Tiger Envoy knew, or if it was a new method from the Abyss.

If the Abyss indeed had a second way to obtain World Origin, not only would the Abyss become more and more powerful, the progress of Abyss Cultivators would also surpass that of Mystical Mechanism Cultivators. The gap between the two would only widen further!

"Hm? How could this be..."

Liang Yi, originally contemplating the seriousness of the situation and even planning to ask Wan Tinggui to carry out more investigations about it in the Abyss,

Suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his body. It started from the palm and spread throughout his body, giving Liang Yi the sensation of soaking in a hot spring after exhaustion, with every cell in his body cheering.

Liang Yi looked up and saw that the World Origin in his left hand was emitting a faint glow, slowly transforming from a ball of light into a liquid form that merged into his palm!

That was the source of the warm current!

The White Tiger beside him looked somewhat regretful, reluctantly watching its meal disappear, turning instead to stare anxiously at Liang Yi's right hand.

If that disappeared too, it would have nothing left to eat!

After failing to prevent the World Origin from fusing with his body, Liang Yi quickly scanned himself to see if there were any abnormalities.

He dared not let the White Tiger consume this newly obtained World Origin for fear that it was imbued with Abyss Demon Qi by the White Tiger Envoy, which would carry the risk of Abyssal erosion when using the Abyss Origin.

After his initial investigation, Liang Yi found that perhaps due to the unique essence of the World Origin power, even the Abyss Demon Qi could not attach to it, let alone hide within it to erode the user.

Nonetheless, the origin of this new World Origin was too mysterious, shrouded in mists from top to bottom; Liang Yi couldn't afford to be careless.

But no matter what, Liang Yi never expected that the World Origin would choose to merge into his body without warning!

The speed was so fast that it gave Liang Yi no time to react!

"Ding! A large amount of World Origin absorbed, System authority upgraded!"

Just as Liang Yi was sitting cross-legged with a tight frown, planning to give himself a comprehensive check-up, a prompt from the System suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Authority upgrade!?"

Liang Yi, confused, opened the notification, unclear on how the system suddenly absorbed the World Origin to upgrade its authority.

It's not like he hadn't had World Origin before, but the system showed no reaction whatsoever, not showing any interest in World Origin.

But this time, after obtaining the World Origin from the White Tiger Envoy, the system suddenly popped up as if playing dead to show off its presence.

Liang Yi stared at his left hand with some realization in his mind.

It wasn't that the World Origin was actively merging into his body; it was his inner system that was actively absorbing this World Origin!
