You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

The Imperial Family of the previous dynasty didn't have many who mastered this cultivation method, as it required extremely high comprehension, talent, and Dao Heart; only the notably prodigious princes and princesses of Great Yong were allowed to learn it by the former dynasty.

However, for the previous dynasty's Imperial Family to create such a method, verily a forbidden technique, it was quite astounding.

Perhaps... was it created by the State Preceptor of the previous dynasty?

"Senior Brother, you truly achieved big merit this time."

Zuo Tianchui said, "Our Dawn Platform has launched campaigns against Eternal Night numerous times, yet we never knew that the Demon Clan set up a major array here with such dedication to gather so many mutant beasts to stabilize it; there must be a great secret."

"Breaking the array was quite fast." Lin Yue smiled.

"With only a hundred demon kings forming the array, the Dawn army broke through after several assaults."

Zuo Tianchui shook his head slightly and said, "Fortunately, Senior Brother led away the terrifying amount of mutant beasts, otherwise, the Dawn army wouldn't have any hope of breaking it."

"Did you kill all those demon clan members?" Lin Yue asked.

"According to your words, to avoid leaking secrets, they were all exterminated." Zuo Tianchui nodded slightly.

"That's good."

Lin Yue did not waste words, and said immediately, "The demon clan set up an array here, probably to conceal the corpse of a Divine Beast Dream Snake. I've already tried but haven't found the Dream Snake's corpse, can you help me look for it?"

"Divine Beast Dream Snake?"

Zuo Tianchui was shocked and said, "Could it be the Dream Snake that attacked the northern border of our Great Yong eighty years ago?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded slightly.

"This was the task given to you by the Main Hall Master?" Zuo Tianchui seemed to have realized something.

This task seemed difficult to find the right person to accomplish, except for the Senior Brother who could penetrate the void, disregard arrays, and knew the Nine-Colored Beast Breath Cultivation Method.

Lin Yue didn't explain further, only said, "Anyway, look around for me, the corpse should have transformed into one of these mountain peaks."

"Alright."

Zuo Tianchui immediately stepped out of the military tent, flying to one of the mountain peaks, releasing Divine Thought to observe for a while, then unleashed his Inner Heaven and Earth Domain.

Within the range of the array, there were only about a dozen mountain peaks.

Before long, when Zuo Tianchui explored the fifth mountain peak, he used Divine Thought Transmission, saying, "Senior Brother, I found it."

"So quick?"

Lin Yue's eyes lit up and he crossed the void instantly, appearing beside Zuo Tianchui, standing in the air before the approximately seven to eight hundred zhang tall mountain peak.

Of course, he had already applied the Sun Chasing Path, also concealing his aura, so the soldiers below couldn't pinpoint his presence.

"Senior Brother, look."

Zuo Tianchui pointed at the sheer mountain peak below and said, "I swept it with Divine Thought and found no abnormalities, but when I released my Inner Heaven and Earth Domain, I sensed a small world within, resisting my domain's penetration, a technique evidently at the Proving Realm level."

"Oh?" Lin Yue arched a brow slightly.

It seemed this was indeed the 'White Snake Peak' formed by the corpse of the Divine Beast Dream Snake.

When he infiltrated the array previously, he carefully inspected this peak with Divine Thought but found nothing.

Likely only an Inner Heaven and Earth Domain of a Saint's caliber could notice the uniqueness of this peak.

"Can the corpse of this Dream Snake be collected?" Lin Yue asked.

"It can be done."

Zuo Tianchui nodded slightly, saying, "Although it's a Divine Beast, it's now a corpse, so putting it away shouldn't be a problem, but..."

He frowned and said, "Since the Inner Heaven and Earth is still present, it indicates the Essence is still here, and the Essence must be collected before the corpse can be stored once the Inner Heaven and Earth retracts."

"Oh? The Essence is still here?" Lin Yue's eyes brightened as he immediately asked, "Where is its Essence?"

This was the Essence of a Divine Beast.

Phoenix Crown had lingered at the Beast King peak for some time due to the lack of a Holy Beast Essence.

Holy Beast Essence was rare enough; a Divine Beast Essence even more so.

This time he purposely didn't bring Phoenix Crown, because the main goal was to find the Original Divine Blood, which could attract a large number of Demon Saints. Though he could escape, he couldn't bring other living beings along.

After all, living creatures couldn't be stored in spatial storage.

Also, he wasn't confident in killing a Holy Beast to obtain its Essence, so he didn't bring Phoenix Crown.

"Its Inner Heaven and Earth originates from the Essence, so naturally the Essence is within the Inner Heaven and Earth."

Zuo Tianchui looked at Lin Yue and said, "It seems necessary to enter this Divine Beast Dream Snake's Inner Heaven and Earth to search. I can forcibly tear open a fissure, but to maintain the fissure, I wouldn't be able to accompany you inside."

This was a means belonging to a Saint-level individual, possible only after possessing an Inner Heaven and Earth.

Although Lin Yue's strength and Zuo Tianchui were at the same level, he didn't possess such means.

Lin Yue pondered a moment before asking, "How long can you sustain it?"

"The consumption is minor, it can be sustained indefinitely."

Zuo Tianchui shook his head slightly and said, "The countless mutant beasts will soon return; even without the array, the scattered mutants pose no threat, but my Dawn army can't slaughter them all."

"Is that so..." Lin Yue contemplated briefly, then turned his hand to reveal a four-foot-square Octagonal Bronze Mirror and twelve pale silver bells.

Zuo Tianchui asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Borrow these."

Lin Yue said, "This is an array treasure refined for me by a Great Power of the Array Path, capable of forming the Illusion Light Thousand Sound Array. You select some Great Cultivators as the array base, and you preside over this illusion array. Those dull mutant beasts will merely fall into the illusion array, incapable of threatening you."

This was an array treasure painstakingly crafted for him by Venerable Bixu, consuming a vast quantity of treasure, which he intentionally brought this time.

"Illusion Light Thousand Sound Array?" Zuo Tianchui's eyes brightened.

An array treasure of this caliber was far more valuable than even an ultimate-grade Spiritual Treasure.

This His Highness actually had such treasure?

Such an array treasure, even the Dawn army couldn't produce!

"Alright." Zuo Tianchui promptly accepted the array treasure; it wasn't something he dared to dream of, but using it was advantageous.

After setting up this Illusion Light Thousand Sound Array, Zuo Tianchui returned to the skies above White Snake Peak.

"Prepare yourself, Senior Brother."

Zuo Tianchui said, "Once I tear open this Inner Heaven and Earth Domain, I will scout the internal situation, then you can enter."

Lin Yue nodded slightly.

"Descend."

Zuo Tianchui focused on the White Snake Peak, his eyes shifting slightly as an Inner Heaven and Earth like a blazing desert descended into reality and spread outward.

At this moment, the rocks on the surface of White Snake Peak began to tremble sharply, large boulders continuously disintegrating, and crumbled into flying ash.

A peculiar ripple spread out, distorting the surrounding heaven and earth slightly, becoming illusory.

Was this the dream manifested as reality?

Lin Yue realized.

The peak that looked like an ordinary mountain had now transformed into a massive serpentine creature resembling a jade-white python.

Its body was entirely covered in jade-like white scales; even while coiled, it remained nearly a thousand zhang tall!

If uncoiled, who knew whether it would be several thousand or even ten thousand zhang long?

Its single head alone was larger than a palace!

Even as a mere corpse, its primal beast-like pressure and ancient formidable aura made Lin Yue avert his gaze involuntarily.

Is this the Divine Beast Dream Snake?

Besides the not-yet-mature Phoenix Crown, it was his first time seeing a legendary Divine Beast.

"Open!"

Zuo Tianchui's hands grasped invisibly, seemingly holding the void, and yanked forcefully apart.

Subsequently, the colossal head of the Dream Snake slowly opened its giant mouth, revealing a massive orifice, within which a hazy, dreamlike world could be glimpsed.

The interior of a Divine Beast held a world of its own, nurturing boundless power, hence qualifying it to be called a Divine Beast.

Lin Yue scrutinized the great world through the Dream Snake's gaping maw.

"Hmm?"

Zuo Tianchui's face subtly shifted.

At that moment, a terrifying murderous aura surged forth from the Dream Snake's mouth, pervading the heaven and earth.
