The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The consciousness of the crowd seemed to float in the void, or as if it were pulled back into place by a mysterious force in an instant.

The giant turtle shell beneath them transformed into a boundless raft, carrying them up and down on the golden sea.

There is no distinction between heaven and earth here; at the end lies the phantom of a majestic celestial palace.

The four gates of the Heavenly Palace were tightly closed, each gate adorned with a carved or painted image of one of the four supreme deities.

The four giant beasts were fast asleep with their eyes closed, but the crowd couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Rinyu also clenched her sleeves.

The direction the giant turtle was traveling was clearly towards the Xuanwu Gate.

Wu Wang once said that Xuanwu was the most tolerant of all the gods.

But will they be found out?

The closer they got to the Heavenly Palace, the more they felt its mystery.

It is clearly an illusion, yet its texture feels almost tangible.

Fortunately, just before the giant turtle was about to crash into the Xuanwu Gate, the tightly closed gate finally cracked open a little.

It's called a small crack, but that's only in comparison to how seamlessly it blends in with the main gate.

In reality, such a narrow gap was enough for them to pass through.

As the giant turtle slowly moved forward, a warm golden light filled everyone's vision.

In the instant the light disappeared, everyone finally saw the miracle before them.

Thousands upon thousands of golden streams flowed freely upwards, and they were going against the current on one of the waves.

The other waves intertwined and converged, rushing towards the distant sea.

Yun Yici: "Is that the sea in the sky?"

Rinyu: "Each race will be guided to its own territory, which should be the place where the power of my race is sealed."

In short, each tribe should return to its own territory first, take what it is entitled to, and then it will have the mind to negotiate with other tribes and prepare for any competition for the gods.

Xie Qianjue: "I must say, you gods are quite down-to-earth."

"But have you figured out how to bring those divine powers back?"

Lin Yu said, "I have made my mark in the battle for the gods and may be granted an audience with the gods. I would like to take this opportunity to meet the Xuanwu God and reclaim the power of my clan."

“Our clan offered up a portion of divine power in exchange for the opportunity to come to the land favored by the gods.”

"But as you can see, I am now the only one left in my clan. What use is even the most precious opportunity?"

"I want to give up the chance to return to the land favored by the gods in exchange for the strength of my people."

"Don't worry, I'll act alone and won't implicate you."

His advice to keep a low profile was for this very reason.

Yun Yici: "We're all in the same boat now, so let's not talk about being implicated or not."

Despite its turbulent upstream journey, the Ao Jia (a mythical creature) moved steadily. With a surge of accumulated power, it carried the group through the steep and treacherous final obstacle.

After the violent shaking, the turtle shell stabilized again.

Everyone couldn't help but stand up and look into the distance; they were now standing on a vast, golden sea.

It's not the golden light that appears due to the refraction of sunlight, but a genuine golden sea.

Yun Yici took out a transparent porcelain bottle from her storage bag, pinched the mouth of the bottle with her fingers, and scooped it full of golden liquid.

However, the golden water gradually faded and turned colorless after leaving the embrace of the ocean.

However, upon closer inspection, there are fine, sand-like particles of sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

Lin Yu: "The jade slip records that these gold sands are called floating gold sands."

Rong Xuan's eyes lit up: "Is this really floating gold sand? The legendary material for refining weapons?"

Yun Yici casually handed him the porcelain bottle in her hand for a closer look.

Rong Xuan added, "It is said that floating gold sand can be used as an adhesive to increase the success rate of weapon refining. Ten grains can be worth ten thousand grade spirit stones. Is this entire sea full of them?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "This sea belongs to my clan. The sand in the sea is inexhaustible. If you need any, you can take it yourself."

"I'll take some too, and see if I can exchange them for resources with other gods."

Lin Yu was also here for the first time and didn't know what to do, so she could only try to learn by following the instructions on the jade slip.

Rong Xuan could no longer care about being reserved. He bowed deeply to Lin Yu and said, "Thank you, Clan Chief Lin Yu."

Yun Yici said, "Since you're willing to share with us, we'll help you pack yours as well."

"By the way, if you're exchanging resources with other gods, we can also exchange what we have with you, so you won't work for nothing. We'll split the profits 50/50."

Wu Wang knew about the events of Shen'ao descending to the mortal realm, which means that other divine races also knew about it.

It's not surprising that Lin Yu took things from the human realm; the only question is whether other gods would even consider them.

Lin Yu shook her head and said, "Let's just split it 50/50. You guys provided the items, and I was just trying my luck with other gods anyway, so this was something I did on the side."

Yun Yici: "You can't say that. If you're unwilling to help, there's nothing we can do."

"Never mind that for now, let's fill in the floating gold sand first."

Xie Qianjue and the others also perked up, thinking that they were risking their lives to return by taking this route, but they did not expect to have such an opportunity.

The realm of the gods is full of treasures.

Mu Yunjian couldn't help but sigh, "If this corner of the land favored by the gods is so magnificent, then the places where those gods live must be even more unparalleled in the mortal world."

He had a humble background, had come to know the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan, and was now mingling with the gods. Time and again, he realized the limitations of his knowledge.

Rong Xuan was filtering water. He frowned and held up the porcelain bottle in his hand: "This is too slow."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yici flashed a light in his hand and struck the water with his sword sheath.

As the water rose, golden specks of light fell, and with quick reflexes, she used the wind to swirl the porcelain bottle and collect most of the floating gold sand.

Rong Xuan said, "This method is good, but it's too tiring for Junior Sister, ah no, Xiao Ci."

Everyone reminded each other to remember their identities and not to give themselves away by using the way they addressed each other.

Yun Yici said, "Actually, there is another way."

She formed a hand seal, and the invisible wind accumulated infinitely, solidifying into a huge white cloth.

Yun Yici used her spiritual power to control the "wind cloth" to sink into the water. When it came up again, the "wind cloth" revealed countless wind holes that were even smaller than the floating gold sand itself.

Water flowed out through the cracks, and the gold dust that had been picked out was blown to the other side by the wind.

This painless separation gave Rong Xuan a new insight.

He pulled out a bundle of black gauze from his storage bag. When he unfurled it, it shimmered with iridescent light. Yun Yici finally understood what "colorful black" meant.

Rong Xuan said, "This should be able to separate water from floating gold sand."

With a replacement, Yun Yici was happy to relax and finish the job quickly and efficiently.

Mu Yunjian and Ning Tinglan helped Rong Xuan unfold the black veil and tie it into a large net to start catching floating gold sand.

This is clearly the raw material Rong Xuan used to make the robe, but no matter how precious it is, it is not as precious as floating gold sand.

Now they can move and collect the floating gold sand at the same time. Lin Yu took out a jade slip and began to study how to get to the territory of the Divine Turtle Clan.

After all, they can't stay adrift at sea forever.

"The jade slip records that our Divine Turtle Clan returned to the Land of Divine Favor or moved to the Lower Realm not long after."

Yun Yici listened to the convoluted explanation, then lowered his head and calculated that it should be around the time the Immortal Ladder broke.

Lin Yu pondered the jade slip for a while, then suddenly said, "I know where it is, let's go."

Controlled by Lin Yu, the turtle shell changed direction and drifted behind the group.

However, they hadn't gone far when the Ao Jia could no longer move, and the part of the black gauze that Rong Xuan used to hold the floating gold sand that was exposed on the sea surface was stretched taut.

Ning Tinglan said, "There is something."

No matter how heavy the floating gold sand is, it cannot hold back the entire turtle shell from moving forward.

Zhu Jian reached out, intending to lift the enormous creature they had caught in their net to take a look.

To everyone's surprise, a slippery turtle shell with spiral patterns on its back floated to the surface of the water.

Lin Yu quickly stopped everyone: "They are from the Xuan Turtle Clan."

This Xuan Turtle is not from the Xuan Turtle clan of the Xuanling Domain.

Despite having the same pronunciation but different names, it is still a genuine mythical beast.

Xuan Gui seemed to have heard what Lin Yu said.

He submerged again, and after a while, a handsome and neat-looking young man emerged from the water.

"What race are you from? I've never smelled your scent before."

Lin Yu said, "We are from the Shen'ao clan. I am Lin Yu, the clan leader of the Shen'ao clan, and these are my clansmen."

The boy's eyes widened, finally settling on Zhu Jian and Di Zhao: "Are they also your people?"

Everyone was dressed in black, except for Zhu Jian and Di Zhao, who were dressed in red, making them look out of place.

Lin Yu avoided the question, saying, "This is a distinguished guest of our Shen'ao clan. By the way, isn't this our territory? What are you doing here?"

The boy said, "I'm taking a bath here. Look at this sand; it feels very comfortable to rub against my shell."

"Would you like to come down and join us?"

Rong Xuan: No, you're using such precious refining materials to make a scrub?

Lin Yu's expression was somewhat subtle, but the boy suddenly realized: "Oh, it's because your clan hasn't been here for too long, and your territory has sunk to the bottom."

"We're afraid that even your last bit of land will be taken by the Mingshe and their gang, so our clans occasionally come over to bathe—no, to help you keep an eye on your territory."

Lin Yu exclaimed in shock, "Our clan's territory has sunk?"

The boy nodded: "It's been submerged for many years. The clan chief said you won't come again."

The unclaimed land, imbued with immense power, has attracted the attention of other aquatic deities in recent years.

While Lin Yu was still in shock, Yun Yici seized the opportunity and said, "Since my clan's territory has been destroyed, would you be so kind as to take us to your territory to pay our respects to the clan leader?"

The boy chuckled: "Of course."

He casually climbed aboard the giant turtle from the sea, his smooth arms instantly transforming into a neat black robe.

Upon arriving, the first thing the boy did was touch the turtle shell and drool.

"This must be the abdominal armor of your Divine Turtle clan, it's really tough!"

"Chief Linyu, did you really go to the lower realm and then come back up?"

“My name is Ji Yuan. Clan Chief Lin Yu must have extraordinary abilities at such a young age. If there is an opportunity, I would like to have a match with you.”

Lin Yu was still immersed in the grief of her territory sinking into the sea, and for the moment she was too lazy to deal with Ji Yuan.

Seeing that Lin Yu ignored him, Ji Yuan did not feel frustrated at all.

He ran to the tail of the giant turtle and looked at the strange black veil, asking, "What are you all trying to fish out?"

Yun Yici pointed to the floating gold sand that had already been separated and said, "We are separating these floating gold sands."

Ji Yuan asked, looking completely bewildered, "Why? I can't eat this?"

"Chief Linyu saw in the jade slip that there is a custom of bartering in the land of divine favor. I wonder if this floating gold sand can be exchanged for some things with other divine races?"

Ji Yuan immediately looked at Yun Yici with sympathy. He rummaged in his sleeve for a while, then pulled out a storage bag and stuffed it into her hand.

"These are all foods I brought from my tribe. They're very delicious. Here, have some."

Yun Yici calmly gripped the storage bag: "What does this mean?"

Ji Yuan: "These floating gold sands are everywhere in the divine realm; no one will be willing to trade with you."

Ji Yuan regarded Yun Yici and his group as poor relatives from the lower realm.

The crowd was so overwhelmed by the arrogance of the gods that they almost vomited blood.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The divine realm is filled with divine herbs and trees, the soil is five-colored, and the sand in the sea is floating gold sand.

The word "rich" alone cannot describe it.
