However, Mu Zili's next move took Han Yu by surprise.

Instead of soaring upward, they directly dove into the ocean!

Wasn't it supposed to be in the sky?

Mu Zili's actions left Han Yu completely baffled, but seeing his calm demeanor,

it seemed he had things figured out.

"These two major forces are really something else, one places its setup in the sky, the other possibly under the sea."

The Artifact Spirit couldn't help but sigh.

It's all grandiose; it seems Celestial Dao Sect's setup won't be any smaller than Yama Hall's.

I just wonder what the Celestial Dao Sect's purpose really is?

The two continued to dive deeper along the seabed, as Mu Zili used spiritual power to keep the seawater away. When Han Yu started feeling uneasy,

This is way too deep, isn't it?

With Mu Zili's speed, fifty miles should have been long surpassed, yet we haven't reached the end?

Continuing further down, approaching nearly a hundred miles in depth, Han Yu's eyes gradually widened.

Damn!

The sight below almost gave him the chills; though they hadn't reached the bottom, he could barely see what's down there.

Four magnificent halls stood in the four cardinal directions, imposing with grandeur, and below were spotless white jade steps.

A massive stone platform was the foundation supporting all of this.

And further down, aside from these structures becoming clearer, Han Yu noticed beneath the stone platform lay an abyss.

So, this stone platform has been supporting all this in the sea depths for who knows how many ages?

Upon getting close to a certain distance, an invisible force abruptly blocked their way, seemingly the very same force protecting all of this.

Mu Zili seemed to be deep in thought, extending a finger for a gentle tap!

Like ripples spreading, a wave emerged, not needing any action from them, a force directly pulled both of them in.

Inside the stone platform, all seawater was isolated. As they landed, Han Yu couldn't help but look around.

The four grand halls soared a hundred feet high, beyond human capacity to build, appearing breathtaking from the outside, an imminent force subtly brewing.

While Han Yu still thought of approaching, Mu Zili suddenly pulled him back.

"If you want to die, just keep walking."

The voice was calm, but in the ears, it resonated like a sudden thunder.

Damn!

Han Yu quickly withdrew the step he was about to take forward, couldn't help but look at his companion, saw Mu Zili hesitant to approach these four halls too.

"Is there something special about these four halls?"

Han Yu had an intuition of uniqueness within, or else why would Mu Zili act like this?

Mu Zili's expression was complicated, his eyes darted across the four halls.

Mumbling to himself.

"Four cardinal directions, Four Extremes Hall mentioned even here."

Han Yu naturally heard clearly and became even more curious.

"What is Four Extremes Hall?"

Mu Zili looked at him oddly, yet still solved the mystery for him.

"The east..."

The hall at the eastern position is called Qionghua Hall.

The one at the western position is named Jade Universe Hall.

The southern hall is named Pixiang Hall.

When speaking of the last one, Mu Zili showed reverence, and softly spoke, "The north pole symbolizing supremacy, Sky Hall!"

These four grand halls exist in the heavens above the Celestial Dao Sect of the small world, but even at Mu Zili's level, he can only access Qionghua Hall.

About the other three halls, he actually knows nothing.

Even the names of the other three halls, only talents like him have the right to know.

Han Yu listened, stunned into silence, so these are truly existing Celestial Dao Sect halls, then copied here?

No wonder Mu Zili wouldn't let him step inside; these halls must not be simple, right?

Seeming to see through Han Yu's thoughts, Mu Zili quietly sighed.

"If you're in a small world and able to see these four halls, it means you've touched the highest power of Celestial Dao Sect."

Han Yu initially overestimated the value of the four halls, but didn't expect the origin to be grander than he thought.

Top tier of Celestial Dao Sect!

Thinking of that made his neck shrivel, this damn place, something so important, am I even supposed to be here?

Even if these four are replicas, they still are monumental; Celestial Dao Sect placed them here after all.

No matter under what circumstances, they'd never be just ordinary setups.

"Now that we're here, make the best of it."

Mu Zili spoke this way, he hadn't anticipated such a scene before they arrived.

He had to too deal with them with utmost care.

Never mind letting Han Yu tread upon them, he himself wouldn't dare venture forth.

They both only dared to linger at the plaza outside, and as time passed, Han Yu couldn't sit still.

He's not a genuine cultivator, never experienced those almost ascetic periods of static meditation they undergo.

Mu Zili could stay still, but for him it's very difficult.

Thinking of this, his mind instantly became nimble, thinking of exploring around.

Since this place mirrors everything of the small world, perhaps some secrets of Celestial Dao Sect might be uncovered.

Mu Zili didn't stop Han Yu when he stepped out, rather just glanced, as long as Han Yu wasn't courting death, he seemed not to mind.

Moving to a carved stone pillar, also emanating a faint pressure, engraved with incomprehensible images and words.

Then suddenly, by accident, Han Yu halted, subconsciously wanting to reach out and touch.

"Stop! Are you crazy?"

The voice came from the Sea of Consciousness's Artifact Spirit, who now looked dismayed, Han Yu's action almost terrifying it.

"Damn, you don't know what traps might be here, you're aimlessly touching for what?"

It couldn't help but curse.

Han Yu's expression turned strange, not bothering with Artifact Spirit's cursing, instead focusing more on the pillar's imagery.

Artifact Spirit also sensed something off while cursing; Han Yu rarely didn't retort, especially now being silently eerie.

"What's actually going on?"

Artifact Spirit couldn't resist asking.

Han Yu's gaze subtly swept across some spots, seemingly wary of Mu Zili noticing, then forcefully turned his head elsewhere.

Finally speaking in the Sea of Consciousness.

"There are several runes inside that I'm particularly familiar with!"

Hearing this, Artifact Spirit instinctively wanted to laugh.

No wonder, Han Yu compared to legitimate cultivators was akin to a country bumpkin, never receiving orthodox cultivation, much less delving into rune books.

Besides, even cultivators would only delve into rune research if they were Divination Cultivators.

Regarding whether Han Yu ever had this chance to engage, others might not know, but it surely does!

Thus, it couldn't help but laugh.

Yet amidst the laughter, it suddenly found itself unable to laugh anymore…

Because it saw Han Yu's serious and solemn face, seemingly not joking.

"In fact, I'm not without opportunity to engage with these."

Han Yu still finds it utterly absurd, yes, absurd.

Artifact Spirit's brow tightened, now it too started recalling.

If Han Yu indeed interacted with such things throughout…

A sudden flash, Artifact Spirit abruptly paused.

Really did.

Yama Hall's Earth Palace, those countless stone pillars.

Also Yama Hall's array's rune, that rune that devours!

The only encounter Han Yu had, was these.

Thus…

Han Yu nodded silently, speaking in the Sea of Consciousness.

"Yes, some of these runes were exactly seen before in the Earth Palace!"

This was the true shock for Han Yu.

How could they be identical?

"Could it be merely for the array need?"

Artifact Spirit speculated.

Han Yu shook his head decisively, array need is one matter, but identical runes, that's another entirely.

"Too bad Yi Xian couldn't come, or else another round of identification could find if more coincide."
