Chapter 2106: Chapter 1617: The Dao Palace’s Exotic Treasures

“How can you indiscriminately accuse someone of such a thing?” The Measureless Barrier was instantly flustered.

The single eye on its head quietly glanced towards the sky, while its mouth was filled with endless words of defense: “I, young master, am loyal to the Saint Lord. How could I ever commit such an act of theft from within?”

“Then why are you so nervous?” Bai Shuyue chuckled, already having an inkling in her heart.

“Nervous? Stop talking nonsense, where am I nervous?” Stretching out two tentacles to wipe away the imaginary sweat on its head, the Measureless Barrier stubbornly denied.

Bai Shuyue sighed: “Then we can only let the Saint Lord himself verify the matter.”

The Measureless Barrier was not intimidated by Bai Shuyue’s words: “You may indeed have the potential for transcendence, but with your current strength, there’s no way you could reach the Saint Lord.”

Bai Shuyue smiled: “You’re right, my strength is indeed lacking. But the power of the Saint Lord is truly unfathomable. If I mutter a few words every day, who knows, it might just reach his ears someday?”

Upon hearing this, the Measureless Barrier’s expression suddenly froze. It carefully pondered; it was indeed possible!

Having been personally enlightened by the Saint Lord, few in this world could understand the terrifying extent of the Saint Lord’s power better than it!

“Let’s talk this over, let’s talk this over…” The Measureless Barrier couldn’t help but regret its previous blunder, hastily switching to a flattering expression.

After a round of amiable exchange, the Measureless Barrier, albeit reluctantly, finally showed Bai Shuyue its treasures.

“Remember, you can only take a glimpse.”

The Measureless Barrier revealed its original form, that green tile.

A plaque faintly appeared within it.

Characters should have been engraved on the plaque, but for some reason, they had long disappeared. Only faint, blurred traces remained.

Even so, the moment one saw this plaque, they would instantly recognize its extraordinary quality.

“This plaque used to hang at the entrance of the Holy Palace. Even Immortal Emperors had to bow in greeting upon seeing it! You, little mortal, are indeed thrice blessed to catch a glimpse of it!” The Measureless Barrier declared smugly.

Though not fully aware of the specifics of the Immortal World, Bai Shuyue could guess a thing or two about what an Immortal Emperor’s role entailed. Hearing that even such a figure would pay respects to this plaque, Bai Shuyue couldn’t help but be secretly alarmed. She gained a clearer understanding of the power and status of the Saint Lord spoken of by the Measureless Barrier.

“But why are there no words on this plaque? Could it be that you gobbled them up…” Bai Shuyue stared for a long time, looking somewhat suspiciously at the Measureless Barrier.

“Hehehe. How could I have such ability?” The Measureless Barrier laughed dryly.

“Think about it, I was just a tile in front of the Holy Palace gates, yet I have such capabilities today. Let alone this holy plaque? The characters on it long ago left and are now free and unfettered. Otherwise, how could I carry it?”

“A broken plaque with no words…” Bai Shuyue observed for a while but couldn’t detect anything special about it.

The Measureless Barrier was secretly pleased: “Sealed within my belly, of course, you can’t sense its mysteries. Otherwise, wouldn’t someone have come knocking for it long ago?”

“What exactly is the use of this plaque?”

The Measureless Barrier no longer kept her in suspense: “Aside from anything else, the influence left by the immortals on this plaque alone is an unimaginable treasure. Those qualified to arrive at the Holy Palace’s gates and be recorded must be at least Immortal Emperors or beings of similar status. Like a scroll of the Ten Thousand Immortals Map, even after countless epochs, their figures remain vividly lifelike…”

As the Measureless Barrier spoke, the seemingly worn plaque truly revealed elegant figures, their presence exerting immense pressure like a mountain, even with the Measureless Barrier’s seal.

The figures of the immortals and gods lasted only for a moment before being retracted by the Measureless Barrier.

“Once one’s strength reaches a certain level, every move embodies their supreme Dao Path. Observing these images can elucidate their Dao Path. It’s practically a condensed version of the Supreme Path Book!” The Measureless Barrier hummed lightly.

“Now, let’s talk about its second remarkable use!”

With cautious vigilance, the Measureless Barrier’s single large eye reappeared, surveying its surroundings to ensure safety, then the mark at the center of the green tile cracked open, revealing an opening.

A faint fragrance wafted to Bai Shuyue’s nose in an instant.

In her spirit consciousness, countless thoughts calmed down the moment they smelled the fragrance. It was as if they had been categorized, organized from chaos to order.

At that moment, Bai Shuyue clearly understood her thoughts and reflections.

Though it lasted only briefly, it nearly reached the legendary state of seeing the mind and naming the nature.

Her self-statue became softer and clearer, exquisitely refined as if carved, shedding the past mundanity. The Golden Pill of Chaos and Spirit Mirror Nascent Soul also manifested respective changes.

“The Saint Lord’s handiwork is naturally extraordinary. Moreover, this plaque is the first entrance of the whole Holy Palace, even if all the blessings have disappeared. The material of the plaque alone is one of the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures among the Mountain Sea!”

After letting the plaque’s fragrance leak for just an instant, the Measureless Barrier cautiously retracted itself again, preventing outsiders from detecting the sacred plaque’s existence.

Bai Shuyue, meanwhile, was immersed in a brief state of enlightenment.

She only awoke seven days later.

“We’ve known each other for so many years, yet you’ve been hiding such a precious treasure.” Bai Shuyue spoke in a wistful tone.

The ‘so many years’ she referred to was not limited to the time they’ve known each other in this life.

The Measureless Barrier, of course, couldn’t detect the undercurrent in Bai Shuyue’s words, and merely chuckled.
