Annihilating the Lingering Souls, Divine Bridge Beyond

"Indeed, they are all cunning individuals. One must not underestimate them, or else they will escape," Xu Yan nodded. These lingering souls were able to survive until now, so they were naturally not simple.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough to completely kill the opponent.

In the Tianku Ruins, there were actually such lingering souls. There must have been someone who had encountered them before, and even been tempted by the lingering souls.

After exploring the surroundings, Xu Yan confirmed that there were no more omissions and continued his exploration.

This Tianku Ruins could not be considered large, but it was not small either.

Careful exploration would take several days to complete.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he discovered a loose soil, and beneath it was a skull. What was even more eerie was that this skull was blood-red, as if it had been soaked in blood.

With a wave of his hand, the skull floated up.

"I finally found you!"

In the eye sockets of the skull, faint red flames suddenly flickered, emitting a sighing sound.

"I have been silent for a long time, only waiting for someone with fate to pass down my inheritance..."

"Do you have any divine treasures or precious items?"

Xu Yan interrupted and asked.

"What are divine treasures? Young man, don't have such low horizons. As long as you obtain my inheritance, not to mention divine treasures, you can even choose the treasures of the world..."

The skull said proudly.

Xu Yan drew his sword, and the Sword Intent of Xunfeng surrounded the skull. He calmly said, "Stop talking nonsense and stop making empty promises. If there are no divine treasures, then you can go die. I'm not interested in any inheritance!"

The skull was a little dumbfounded. Why was this young man so impulsive and short-sighted?

Could it be that he had misjudged?

"Young man, do you know who I am? Missing my inheritance will be the biggest regret of your life. For the sake of mere divine treasures..."

Xu Yan was too lazy to listen any further and directly swung his sword down!

"Wait!"

The skull hurriedly spoke.

"Speak!"

Xu Yan's sword stopped just inches above the skull.

"There is a divine artifact, and my skull is that artifact. If you inherit me, you can obtain my divine artifact..."

Crack!

The skull was split open by a sword, and a flickering red flame seemed to reveal a sense of confusion.

Why did he suddenly strike with his sword?

"What is this?"

He was greatly shocked.

Hoo!

Like a howling gale, the red flame, before it could say anything else, completely extinguished.

Xu Yan stabbed his sword into the ground, and the storm of the Xun Wind Sword Intent swept in all directions. After confirming that the remnants of the skull were not hiding, he sheathed his sword.

"What's the matter with these remnants?"

Xu Yan pondered.

Whether it was the remnants on the small tree earlier or these skull remnants, when they spoke, they had a bewitching power that sought to confuse one's mind.

He thought of the other geniuses who entered the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss. If they encountered these remnants, they would likely be easily deceived.

"With my master present, even if I am deceived, it won't amount to anything."

Xu Yan continued to explore.

On the Evergreen Pavilion, Li Xuan suddenly looked towards the ruins of the Heavenly Abyss, revealing a pensive expression.

"These remnants are strange. Why do they all seem to seek out Xu Yan?"

Among the others, no one encountered remnants like Xu Yan did.

The remnants of souls seem to be specifically targeting Xu Yan.

"These remnants of souls do not belong to multiple people, but to one person's remnants, and..." Li Xuan took a deep breath, speculating in his heart.

The remnants of the Heavenly Abyss Ruins all belong to one person, and they can't even be called remnants, but rather fragments!

After a certain powerful individual suffered heavy injuries in the Heavenly Abyss Ruins, their soul was divided into multiple remnants and existed in a special way.

Moreover, these remnants cannot leave the Opening Heaven Ruins.

Once they leave the Opening Heaven Ruins, they will be wiped out by the laws of heaven and earth.

"Intruders from outside?" Li Xuan suddenly became interested. Since there are remnants here, wouldn't it be possible to capture one and interrogate it to find out the situation?

"Coming for Xu Yan again? Do you like my disciple that much?" Li Xuan raised his hand and a palm descended from the sky, grabbing the newly appeared remnant.

Xu Yan looked at the jumping bead in front of him, filled with the aura of the remnant, and was about to take action to destroy it when he saw his master make a move.

On Evergreen Pavilion, Li Xuan sat leisurely on a chair.

Above his head, a small Great Wilderness Divine Image appeared, with a mysterious aura surging within.

A faint red bead floated in front of him, spinning around, and then a face appeared on the bead.

The face was full of astonishment.

"Who are you?"

The face on the bead asked in a deep voice.

"Speak up, why did you come looking for my disciple?" Li Xuan asked indifferently while looking at the face.

The face's expression froze, furrowing its brows, and said in a deep voice, "Since it's your disciple, let's end it here, how about that?"

"Heh!" Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "Make it clear, explain everything clearly, maybe there's still room for negotiation. Otherwise, there's no need for your soul power to exist."

"Why bother, sir? I simply found your disciple to be very unique, different from the Martial Artists of this world, so I became curious."

The tone of the face sounded somewhat timid.

"Just that?" Li Xuan looked at him indifferently, "Explain clearly, your identity, origin, and intentions, all must be explained clearly."

The face fell silent.

"I can't afford to provoke you, sir, so I'll stop here."

The face suddenly began to disintegrate, disappearing in an instant.

It actually chose to self-destruct and didn't want to reveal anything, or perhaps it didn't want to provoke Li Xuan, an existence that was unfathomable in its eyes.

It tried to hide its identity as much as possible, so as not to attract attention to its true form.

"Decisive!" Li Xuan had no regrets about this.

The other party was obviously not an ordinary Martial Artist. Since it chose to self-destruct and didn't want to offend him, it was evident that his Great Wilderness Divine Image and mysterious aura had frightened it.

"If you want to self-destruct, why bother hiding any remaining soul power?" Li Xuan looked towards the Opening Heaven Ruins, raised his hand, and lightly tapped.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze swept through the entire Opening Heaven Ruins, and at this moment, all the remnants were swept out and dissipated in the breeze.

"Sir..." a voice sounded, then fell silent.

Li Xuan's gaze was indifferent. Since he couldn't get any information out of it and it had no value anymore, what was the point of keeping it?

Naturally, he waved his hand and annihilated it.

The journey to the Opening Heaven Ruins had come to an end.

The harvest is meager, almost nonexistent.

As for those remnants, they have completely disappeared. This Tianku relic will not hold any special significance for a long time.

The Evergreen Pavilion's flying boat emerged from the Tianku relic, and Fu Tianhai and other powerful beings from the Spirit Realm, along with a group of exceptional talents, also left the Opening Heaven relic.

"The Divine Bridge will open in two years. Once it opens, we can enter the other side of the Divine Bridge," said Emperor Da Zhou.

As for how the Divine Bridge opens and what it entails, they do not know.

Although they know the location of the other side of the Divine Bridge, they are not familiar with the situation there.

The existence of the Transcendent Spirit Sect is to cultivate Spirit Body exceptional talents to the limit of the Spirit Realm and send them into the other side of the Divine Bridge.

By doing so, they can earn merits and, when the time comes, go to the other side of the Divine Bridge.

The layout of the Spirit Realm is determined by the powers that belong to the other side of the Divine Bridge. The current layout of the Spirit Realm has been disrupted, and behind Fang Hao is an unfathomable existence.

Therefore, the Transcendent Spirit Sect can only discuss with the Eternal Alliance to redefine the layout of the Spirit Realm.

As for whether there will be objections from the powers on the other side of the Divine Bridge after it opens, it is not something they can handle. At that time, it will naturally be decided by stronger beings.

"Lord Fu, there is a small Tianku appearing in the Black Abyss of the Azure Sea. I have comprehended something there..." Xu Yan looked at Fu Tianhai and spoke.

"What?" Fu Tianhai and the others' expressions changed.

The appearance of the Ice State Tianku has already caused such a great calamity.

And now there is a Tianku appearing in the Azure Sea?

"In the Black Abyss of the Azure Sea?" Fu Tianhai's expression became serious.

It is a dangerous place where it is easy to lose one's way.

"That's right!" Xu Yan nodded and recounted the discovery of the Tianku in the Black Abyss, ending with, "I placed a navigation bead near the Tianku, so it should be easy to find and not get lost."

Fu Tianhai and the others frowned. They had no idea what this navigation bead was.

This must be Fang Hao's doing.

So they looked at Fang Hao.

"Lord Fang, about the Tianku in the Black Abyss of the Azure Sea..." Fang Hao solemnly said, "It concerns the safety of the Spirit Realm. As a member of the Eternal Alliance, I cannot shirk my responsibility. I will go there later and set up a large formation to seal off this small Tianku."

"In that case, I will rely on Lord Fang!" Fu Tianhai clasped his hands.

After discussing the matter of the Tianku in the Azure Sea, Fu Tianhai hurriedly left to prepare to lead the strong members of the Sea Spirit Clan to the Black Abyss to prepare for sealing the Tianku.

The Lord of the Thousand Martial Hall and others also left one by one.

Fang Hao didn't stay in the Evergreen Pavilion for long. After spending a few days together and receiving some guidance from his master, he hurriedly left with Yue Changming.

The layout of the Spirit Realm, the matters of the Ice State, Cloud State, and Great Marsh State all needed to be dealt with.

And Fang Hao has officially taken over the Eternal Alliance and is negotiating with the Transcendent Spirit Sect about the layout of the Spirit Realm.

After staying for a few days, the Red Cat returned to the Heavenly Tomb State and became the Great Monster King, leading the Monster Race to cooperate with the Eternal Alliance and occupy a place in the Spirit Realm.

The storm has passed, and the Spirit Realm has entered a new era. In a sense, the supreme rule of the Spirit Sect is coming to an end.

The Evergreen Pavilion went to the Cloud State to treat the people affected by the disaster.

Xu Yan is sorting out the Martial Dao techniques of the Void Shattering Realm and accumulating strength to prepare for breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm.

Xie Tianheng and his wife, Fu Yun, traveled through the eighteen states of the Spirit Realm, establishing their own reputation.

Xie Lingfeng stayed behind and was in the midst of arduous cultivation.

Zi Yun clung to Meng Chong, clamoring to follow him and explore the Spirit Realm together.

Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao also stayed in the Evergreen Pavilion and were unwilling to return to the Tai Miao Sect.

Upon learning about the Tianku in the Azure Sea, Cai Linger, as a member of the Sea Spirit Clan, felt anxious, but in the end, she chose to stay in the Evergreen Pavilion.

Staying by the side of the great beings.

This is an opportunity, and she doesn't want to miss it!

Evergreen Pavilion has become lively again, with sufficient manpower and an increase in the number of patients seen every day.

During the Ice State Rebellion, the Martial Artist who risked his life and escaped with a damaged soul came to Evergreen Pavilion seeking medical treatment.

Meng Chong has successfully broken through to the Divine Origin Realm, and Li Xuan's Great Sun Star Immortal Body has been enhanced.

Su Lingxiu has also successfully broken through to the Divine Origin Realm and gained insight into the cultivation method of the Divine Appearance Realm. Li Xuan's Martial Dao as a pill doctor has also broken through to the Divine Appearance Realm.

Fang Hao is also rapidly improving his strength.

Li Xuan is looking at the legacy of the Blood Spirit Child given to him by Wu Tiannan.

That blood-red bead is not simple, hiding strands of soul power.

"Do you want to resurrect using this Blood Purgatory Bead?"

Li Xuan smiled. He understood Wu Tiannan's concerns. The person who is resurrected may not necessarily be the Blood Spirit Child, but rather the original soul.

The Blood Spirit Child is also a ruthless person.

"The Blood Purgatory Cultivation Technique is truly a demonic technique, but I have to admit that it does have its unique aspects and is indeed powerful."

After reading the secret manual of the Blood Purgatory Cultivation Technique, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Moreover, he discovered that although the Blood Purgatory Cultivation Technique seems similar to the Spirit Domain Martial Dao, it is not actually from the Spirit Domain. It is likely a technique from outside the world.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

What is happening beyond the Tai Cang Realm?

Li Xuan put away the secret manual, thinking that it might provide some reference for his own Martial Dao.

He took out the Tai Cang Book and continued reading. He wanted to engrave the Tai Cang Book in his mind. Once he memorized the Tai Cang Book, it meant that he had memorized the Tai Cang Heavenly Principles and Laws.

Furthermore, it meant that he had mastered the changes in the origin of the entire world, and the core of the entire world was within his grasp.

"The other side of the Divine Bridge, a region of Tai Cang where the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth is more active and the spiritual energy is denser."

Li Xuan pondered.

The Tai Cang Realm is divided into regions like grids. The closer to the center of the Tai Cang Realm, the more active and dense the spiritual mechanism and spiritual energy of heaven and earth are.

The limit of Martial Dao is higher.

However, why is the Tai Cang Realm divided in such a way?

Moreover, each region is connected by gates and bridges, making it impossible to freely travel between them. What is the reason behind this?

Li Xuan was also quite curious about this.

"If I go to the other side of the Divine Bridge, I will probably know the answer, right?"

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

"Above the Soul Refining Heavenly Being is the Heavenly Venerable. There are the Condensing Law Heavenly Venerable, the True King Heavenly Venerable, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable... The Divine Appearance Realm should correspond to the Condensing Law Realm, but my Martial Dao has already surpassed the realm of the Tai Cang Martial Dao since the Divine Origin Realm."

"The strength of the Divine Appearance Realm corresponds to the Refining True Realm and is on par with the True King Heavenly Venerable. In this case, my strength is still slightly inferior to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable."

There must be an Immortal Heavenly Venerable on the other side of the Divine Bridge.

With his current strength, even though he can fight an ordinary Immortal Heavenly Venerable, he is not invincible once he reaches the other side of the Divine Bridge.

"Am I invincible below the Immortal Heavenly Venerable?"

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

The Immortal Heavenly Venerable is a huge leap, just like the Great Heavenly Human and the Soul Refining Heavenly Being, it is a major watershed.

"To merge with heaven and earth, to rule over a corner of heaven and earth, to have the same lifespan as heaven and earth... In theory, as long as heaven and earth are immortal, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable will not die. This is still very powerful."

Li Xuan sighed.

What it means to be immortal is that one's lifespan is almost infinite.

They can only be killed and will not die because their lifespan has come to an end.

"But the Void Shattering Realm is even stronger. The Immortal Heavenly Venerable merges with heaven and earth, ruling over a corner of heaven and earth, but the Void Shattering Realm breaks through the void of Opening Heaven, not bound by the laws of heaven and earth, and travels across the space of heaven and earth..."

"As long as I enter the Void Shattering Realm, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable is not a concern."

Li Xuan's confidence grew. With his understanding of the laws and principles of heaven and earth, once he enters the Void Shattering Realm, he can easily suppress the Immortal Heavenly Venerable with a single hand.

And the Void Shattering Realm is not far away. Xu Yan is about to completely sort out and comprehend the Martial Dao methods of the Void Shattering Realm.
