Immortal Dao is dead, I am the mastermind behind it all.

Shen Moyan's expression changed as he began searching through the recently published official gazettes and major announcements on Jiuge.com.

Sure enough, the most prominent position on the official homepage was the highest-level announcement issued by the Privy Council of the Holy Court.

The serious wording confirmed the rumors:

[Urgent Edict from the Privy Council: A Report of Shocking Changes in the Hundreds of Border States]

The resurgence of the remnants of the Six Hells Demon Sect triggered the appearance of the Demon Lord, who engaged in a fierce battle with the Holy Court Venerable, resulting in severe damage to the spatial structure of hundreds of states, including Langya and Cangwu.

Currently, the two supreme beings have moved their operations to beyond the realm.

The Holy Court has activated its emergency plan, sealing off the relevant states, dispatching elite forces from the Demon Suppression Division and the Guardian Division to handle the aftermath, and warning cultivators from all sides to stay away from dangerous areas.

The relevant governors and prefects should diligently perform their duties and stabilize public sentiment...

The announcement was official and concise, but many details were omitted.

Such as the Starry Sky Enlightenment Master, the inside story of the Demon Lord's resurrection, and the Dao Fruit of Transformation.

"It seems the Holy Court's higher-ups don't want cultivators to know about the existence of the Fate Master by preventing them from entering those states."

Shen Moyan left Jiuge.com with a solemn expression.

"Hundreds of states, sweeping across the boundary seas, its reach extends to hundreds of states, even reaching the heart of the demon realm... Such power..."

Gao Sheng, Zheng Quan, and his schemes all became a joke in the face of the absolute power of Si Ming and the Demon Lord.

"Throughout the four seas and eight wastelands... the demon race will never sit idly by while these two beings run rampant on their territory. They will likely use this as an excuse to have their higher-ups, and even those holy rulers, take action!"

Shen Moyan suddenly realized something and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Faced with such a sweeping force, his cultivation level was utterly insignificant.

After calming himself down and strengthening his resolve, Shen Moyan took out the Azure Pearl.

"Alright, let's see what we've gained. What exactly is this Azure Nether Pearl?"

The pearl was cool to the touch, with azure clouds slowly flowing inside and subtle spatial fluctuations emanating from it, indicating that it was a rare and precious spatial treasure.

Why can't I access the space?

Shen Moyan tried again and again, but he just couldn't open the internal space of the Azure Nether Pearl.

Just as Shen Moyan was wondering, a clear, cold voice interrupted his actions.

[Origin Dao Traces Detected – 'Azure Nether Pearl']

[Should we accept it and turn it into an inkstone?]

What had been dormant deep within his will, and which he relied on most, as I wrote, now began to turn the pages with a rustling sound, even without any wind.

"An inkstone? What the hell?"

Shen Moyan was startled.

From Xi Yi's perspective, as I have written, there is a natural resonance between the two, namely the Azure Pearl and the Azure Pearl.

"Confirmed, let it become an inkstone."

Shen Moyan also wanted to see what surprises this cheat system would bring him.

After a short while, the Azure Pearl began to soften and deform under the light of the book pages.

It no longer retains the shape of a bead, but rather appears to be being kneaded and shaped by an invisible hand.

The light grew brighter and brighter. From Xi Yi's perspective, Shen Mo Yan seemed to see countless tiny golden characters flying out from the pages of the book, like precise engraving knives, imprinting themselves on the changing surface of the Azure Pearl, reweaving its internal structure and laws.

Almost instantly, the light faded.

Shen Moyan looked closely and saw that the Azure Pearl in his palm had disappeared.

Instead, there was a palm-sized inkstone, dark blue in color and with a simple, antique shape.

This inkstone is made of neither gold nor jade. It feels warm to the touch and has a smooth, mirror-like surface, yet it also has subtle flowing cloud and water patterns.

Upon closer inspection, the patterns were found to be composed of countless extremely fine golden runes, which were of the same origin and type as the text on "As I Write".

The center of the inkstone is slightly concave, as if it could grind the heavens and the earth, or like a miniature universe with unfathomable depths.

Azure Inkstone!

The moment this treasure was completed, Shen Moyan naturally understood how to use it.

This treasure contains a primordial space within which one can grow.

However, it is far more spacious and stable than other storage magic treasures of the same level, capable of storing living things and nurturing spiritual materials, and its spatial barrier is extremely difficult to be forcibly broken by external forces.

"Isn't this a hidden paradise!"

Shen Moyan was pleasantly surprised.

A grotto-heaven is different from a domain; it is an existence that only a True Monarch can open.

Furthermore, this space is bound to "As I Write," and can continue to exist as Shen Moyan reincarnates!

This means that any precious items he collects in each lifetime and puts into this space, such as cultivation manuals, special materials, and magical treasures, can be stored in this space unless they are consumed or damaged in the current lifetime.

Even if Shen Moyan dies and is reincarnated, he can summon the "Azure Inkstone" again in his next life through "As I Write" and take the contents stored inside!

The space has its own set of laws that can slowly nurture the treasures placed within, enhancing their spiritual quality and even repairing minor damage.

Reshaped by the power of "As I Write", this inkstone and its interior space have a strong effect of concealing the secrets of heaven, and can isolate external deduction and exploration to a certain extent.

"My cheat code is finally working!"

Even with Shen Moyan's resolute will, he couldn't help but feel his fingertips tremble slightly with excitement at this moment.

What does this mean?

This means that he now possesses a mobile treasure trove that belongs solely to him and can transcend lifetimes!

No more worrying about your hard-earned materials going to waste due to a single failed cycle!

This is of immeasurable value to him in accumulating strength by leveraging the advantages of reincarnation!

With a thought, his consciousness easily merged into the Azure Inkstone.

In an instant, he saw a hazy space about a hundred feet square, with flowing blue mist at the edge of the space.

The center of the space was clear and bright, exuding an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

The flow of time within this space seems slightly different from that outside, being slower and more peaceful.

Although it was shrouded in mist, Shen Moyan could sense the immense potential of this space.

"Great! Really great!"

Shen Moyan held the Qingming Inkstone in his palm with great care.

Without hesitation, he transferred his most important items inside.

The array plate from the Array Pavilion, the Xuanhuang Emperor's Immortality Token, and some odds and ends obtained from the Star Realm, which I didn't have time to examine carefully but felt were extraordinary.

Watching his belongings float peacefully in the Azure Space, nourished by the faint azure light, Shen Moyan breathed a long sigh of relief, a great weight lifted from his heart.

"In this way, if I were to perish and resume writing, as long as 'as I have written' remains, these accumulated works will not be lost!"

However, when his divine sense swept across the hazy mist at the edge of the space, which seemed to blend into the barrier, he sensed a very unusual aura.

"Um?"

With a thought, Shen Moyan's consciousness appeared in front of the mist.

Reaching out and gently touching it, the mist rippled outwards, parting like a water curtain to reveal the scene behind it.

It was a small hut.

The cottage sits alone on the edge of this misty space, as if it had been completely moved here from somewhere else.

The white walls and blue tiles are simple in style, and a string of wind chimes hangs under the eaves, but there is no wind at the moment, so they are silent.

Shen Moyan frowned slightly, feeling wary but mostly curious.

He slowly stepped forward and pushed open the half-closed wooden courtyard gate.
